DAVID LAWRENCE

Did Gov. Rockefeller de-
eide for himself that he cares
more for the woman he loves
than he does even for the
opportunity to win the presi-
dency in 1864?
Nobody in public life with
a sole regard for political
consequences is supposed to
be exercising good judgment
If, after divorcing his wife Of
81 years and marrying an
other woman, he insists on
making an effort immedi-
ately to run for the highest
office in the land.
The conclusion is inescap-
able, therefore, that the Ma
ton is witnessing a recur-
renee of those romantic
circumstances which caused
Edward VIII to give up the
throne he already had be-
cause, under the rules and
customs Of Britain, he found
he could not marry q di-
vorced woman and remain
king. So in a public address
in December, 1896, he told
why he chose instead "the
woman I love-" He has en-
joyed in the 81 years since
a happiness and satisfaction
with life that make the cere-
monies and cares of palace
life almost irrelevant.
In America, however, the
people decide whether a di-
vorced man shah forfeit the
presidency. While 1t now
may seem certain that Nell
son Rockefeller will not be
the Republican nominee in
1864, who is to say that he
might not be nominated in
1868 when five years have
gone by and the public has
had a chance to size up his
new life? Mr.. Rockefeller
will be only SO years old in
1868. That's not considered
old for the presidency. Look
ing back on the whole roster
Of Presidents from the be-
ginning Of the Republic, this
is a customary age for a first
inauguration.
Mr.. Rockefeller's term as
Governor Of New York runs
through 1866, and, If by that
time he has demonstrated in
public office that he knows
the science of Government
and can deal with the issues
in a way that appeals to the
electorate, it is conceivable
that the two years from 1866

large contributor to both
parties. In the last three
Presidential campaigns about
10000 voters gave donations
of $500 or more, but without
this small minority both
parties would have been in
serious trouble. He points out
that in 1852 nearly SO
per cent of the Republican
money from individual con-
tributions and So per cent Of
the Democratic money came
in sums of at least $500. In
the 1856 campaign "a per
cent of the money from in
dividual contributors for the
Republican party and A per
cent for the Democrats came
from these large contribu-
tors. In 1860 they contri-
buted SO per cent Of the Re-
publican funds and 81 per
cent Of the Democratic
funds.
These figures provide the
background against which
President Kennedy's latest
message to Congress on elec-
ton costs should be judged.
His proposal that citizens
should be able to claim a tax
deduction for the full amount
of a $500 contribution to an
election campaign merely
recognizes the facts Of po-
litical life. Few people on
the two national committees
believe that there will be a
significant increase in the
number Of people making
large donations because Of
this tax concession.
The important reform is
the proposal to give a citizen
a tax credit on a small con-
tribution. The credit would
be exactly half Of the politi-
cal donation. and could not
be more than $40 a year.
If two million citizens decid-
ed to make their first politi-
cal contribution under this
new tax rule, with the aver
age contribution being only
$40, Of which the Treasury
would absorb IS as a tax
credit, the entire problem Of
financing an election would
be transformed.
But II present omens can
be trusted, Congress will be
moved TO action on this pro-
posal only when 1t discovers
that there is a genuine and
sustained public demand for
such a reform.

widespread and stubborn.
They know better than any
OF us what is wrong with the
present system but they have
managed to survive under it
and they will lift no bold
hand to alter it.
A Presidential election in
creaseS public interest not
only in national affairs but
in State and local contests.
These are therefore the most
favorable years for measur-
ing public interest in election
finances.
In 1852 about 3 million
Americans contributed to
some campaign. Four years
later the figures rose to 8
million, and in 1860 there
were 10 million contributors.
But even in 1860 less than
one out of every seven peo-
pie who voted for a Presi-
Dental candidate gave any
money at all to any cam
paign, Federal or State or
local. Since there are nearly
100000 elective offices in the
United States, the need for
money is very great. and the
need is met by very few
people.
How can the ordinary voter
be reached and persuaded to
contribute? There are more
than 10000 election dis
tricts. II each party were to
provide only ten solicitors
for every district, we would
need 100000 solicitors. 1t
clearly is impossible to raise
these funds by voluntary
effort alone.

to 1868 could prove more re-
warding for him In a pre-
convention campaign than
anything he might try to do
now in the is months before
the 1864 convention. Maybe
the New York Governor took
all Of this into account in
yielding to the urge to marry
at once the woman he loves.
Certainly 1t will be difficult
for anyone who tries to evalu-
ate the political effects Of the
marriage to know how
strongly were the human feel
ings that drew these two
persons together. Rumors
have been current for weeks
that Mrs. Murphy and Gov.
Rockefeller would be married,
but not till the event actually
took place last Saturday did
the political world really
begin to size up how the 1864
presidential campaign out
look would be changed.
1t can be argued that there
are several million divorced
persons throughout the
country and that they resent
the implication that some
how they have sinned. This
might offset to a large ex-
tent the "anti-divorce" vote.
1t can be contended, too,
that the 1854 presidential
nomination isn't worth hav-
ing anyway, as the Kennedy
political organization has
transformed the National
electorate into a kind of
Tammany-like machine but
tressed by the selective
award Of political favors in
volving billions Of dollars of
Government funds distrib
uted largely in the key States
with big electoral votes.
The movement, on the
other hand. behind Senator
Barry Goldwater which is
the biggest single force pre-
sented as an alternative to
President Kennedy-now will
grow stronger. If economic
discomfort is widespread in
1864, the negative mood
toward the administration
might rebound to Gold
waters advantage If he is
the nominee.
The boom of Gov. Romney
Of Michigan will, Of course,
get more attention, too,

! MAX FREEDMAN

From January, 1861. to
January, 1868, President Ken
nedy attended 18 fund-rais-
ing events which collected a
total Of $9,170,000. President
Eisenhower had a similar ex-
perience as a fund-raiser for
the Republicans. In 1856 one
television program with Mr..
Eisenhower over a closed cir
cult produced more than $4
million, and in 1860 the series
known as Dinner with Ike"
gave the party more than
$1.8 million. Every President,
OF course, is also the party
leader and he has a duty to
improve the finances of the
national organization. But is
1t really fair to thrust this
burden on a President? There
must be a better way of pay
ing the costs of democracy.
Almost every voter will
agree that the present system
is unsatisfactory. Few people
can be happy with a system
under which the Republi-
cans look to big business for
an essential part Of their fl
nances and the Democrats
depend upon big labor for
similar support. But they are
not ready to turn their dis
content into action. They
neither contribute to cam
paigns themselves, nor do
they urge Congress to change
the existing laws.
When there is some brief
excitement over a scandal.
they listen to the reformers
but their interest withers as

To Grow Corn
To Meet Need

South Carolina farmers en-
countcrin2 feed shortages and
higher feed costs have been
urged to plant enough grain
h. meet their needs this year.
Corn planting begins in the
lv Country about March l..
John Clapp, Clemson extern
sion agronomiSt. says it's pos
Sible to estimate the feed 70
quirement for hogs and beef
cattle. A farmer can then eSf;-
mate the acreage required 10
produce the feed.
Experience has shown that
il takes about 81 bushels of
corn to carry a calf Ia choice
eode," Clapp said.
4 And hog farmers will need
about 200 bushels of corn for
each brood SOW and two lit
terS of pigs where the PIGS
are to be brought TO market
weight. I'm assuming that av-
erage litter size is eight pigs"
However, if the two llttcrS
of pigs are To be groueht TO

need only about 40 bpShels Of
cam for each SOW and her lit
tiers. III
when" barley is 10 be used

value can bc estimated at T..
bout 90 percent of corn.
Ground oats are valued al a.

corn in animal rationS."
However, only onc-third t.
onc-fourth of the ration should
"a replaced by barley. oats, or
wheat. he said.
Clapp urged farmers to use
the estimates in planning grain
acreage this year.

This year, DiStributive Edu-

IL is observed that until re-
cent years. the young person
1oing into the merchandising
field. as in numerous other
fields of work. began his :ar-
Ger through the school of ex-
pcricnce. Even if he finished
high school, about the only
basic education he received in
merchandising in school was
through arithmetic.
Learning by experience is
no longer sufficient for the
difficult tasks with which bus
mess managers and SupcrViS-
CrS are confronted today" Mrs.
Dorm said.
"Education is necessity in
today'S spacious department
stores and SupermarketS which
have replaced the general
store. OF not SO many years
ago she noted.
Selling has existed in a
crude form since very early
times. but public education in
the field Of distribution begin
To be included in some of the
high school curriculumS across
the nation.
Although 20 per cent of the
population i'll South Carolina
was employed in diStributive
occupations in the late 1905,
DiStIibutiVc Education was
then, and still is only able to
offer training TO a small per-
centage of the students who
plan TO enter merchandising
carers.
Since 1850, the per cent of
the total wage and salary
workers in distributive occu-
pationS has jumped from 20
per cent in 1850 to 800 per
cent in 1861.
Thus job opportunities in
the field of distribution repre-
SentS high rate of employ
ment within the State of South
Carolina. In 1861. l79,300
workers in South Carolina
were engaged in some phase
of distribution, or 800 per
cent of the total number of
wage and salary workers in
! the state" Mrs. Dorm said.
The cooperative program
was started in LoriS in 1852.
Since that date the high school
course has grown in the num-
Der taking the course and in
better training program.
The local merchants utilize
students in the training pro-
gram. This year the class has
81 students and 81 are en-
ployed Is hours week or
| more
Looking back on 25 years
of Distributive Education in
South Carolina, Mrs. Dorm
said the d. E. Program with
its limitations during that time
has hardly begun to meet its
responsibilities in training. The
number trained in D. f. dur
ing this time has been small
compared to the total number
entering diStributive occupa-
tionS.
However. it is gratifying to
see that many former d. E.
students have achieved places
of leadership in today's bust
ness. Although they may have
shared in routine duties, they
can proudly say. II began as a
d. f. Student"
