Have to Make Some
Southern Gains

A. l am not too concerned
about that. I am concerned to
a degree that l realize we are
going to have a job holding
the Republican leadership in
the South in step and not start
what Strom Thurmond did in
l948 in the Democratic Party.
We have to make some gains
in the South, and we have to
get Republicans in the Con-
gress, or there will be only
some years where we can con-
troll it. I am encouraged by
what is going along, but I think
that we have to be careful so
that they don't just walk out
of a convention and start a
third party movement or some
thing.
@. Senator Tower of Texas
has called for orderly desegre-
cation" in the South. Do you
think the Republican Party
could win in the South if it
runs on a platform of orderly
deSegregation?
A. Yes, I think that you can
Somebody that says never" is
unrealistic and a Southerner
realizes that. Eisenhower had
his Little Rock. and Kennedy
had his oxford, so what any
Southerner says isn't what the
Attorney General of the United
States. even from his own par
ty, is going to do. l think Re-
publicans have got to bear
down on issues other than the
segregation problem, and devel-
op arguments on those.
@. Is it fair to say that the
Republican philosophy repre-
sents the feeling of most
Southern voters. and therefore
a Southern Republican will be,
generally speaking. more con-
servative than a Southern
Democrat?

ON THE RECORD-Thruston B. Morton
COP. Looks to Future

FOLLOWING is the transcript
OF an ON THE RECORD in
terUiew Nth Senator ThruS-
ton B. Morton OF Kentucky,
neUly elected chairman OF
the Senate Republican Cam
pdign Committee!
@. Senator Morton, why can
not the Republicans get over
the top on these elections?
They came close in 1860, and
received about 48 per cent OF
the vote in the House races in
1862, but they don't seem to
win. Why2
A. Well, I think 1t goes back
to our basic losses of county
and State offices during the
early l950s.
Now, the encouraging thing
is that we have been gaining
at that level in the last three
or four elections. For that rea-
son I am hopeful that we will
see results in Congress. We
have a real opportunity here
in the Senate.
You see there are Is Demo-
Gratis and nine Republicans up
in 1864, and of those rs you
have only four who are in the
old traditional South. Yarbor-
ough of Texas will be five. But
you can't tell what will happen
to Texas. So you will really
have just Virginia, Tennessee,
Florida and Mississippi out of
the IS. This is the rankest kind
of speculation, but l would
think that we had a good
chance of picking up seven or
eight seats.
@. Speaking of the South,
are you apprehensive that the
Republican Party may inherit
the political schizophrenia that
has plagued Democrats there
for so long?
Evening star., 1963-01-20

look like they have been
through a lot of life?
A. Well, think both of them
have had long careers of pub
lie service, and of course 1t
has been a tough life, and I
think that they are beginning
to show their age. Youth isn't
everything, butthere seems to
be more emphasis on it now
because you do have such a
young President and generally
young administration. The con-
traSt is probably greater than
has been the case in the past.
I was impressed as I looked
over the new crop Of Demo-
cratic Senators. I haven't
figured 1t out, but I doubt if

Believes Rockefeller
Is Ahead Now

@. In this advance specula-
tion, Senator, how do you assay
the position Of Senator Nor
ton of Kentucky?
A. Well, I am not a candi-
date for anything.
q. From your contact with
the Republican organization
people. who is the front run
ner for the presidential nom
ination now?
A. I think Rockefeller, If you
leave Nixon out completely. I
think that Rockefeller is way
ahead of anybody else. He isn't
doing much, and his people
aren't as active as they have
been. but they have by no
means closed up shop. He still
has that big operation going
up there.
@. Isn't 1t likely then If
Goldwater takes his year of
survey, as he has indicated,
that by that time Rockefeller
may have such a bulge that
Senator Goldwater may have a
hard time catching up?
A. Goldwater has probably
got a substantial bloc from the
South. The Republican Party
isn't big in the South but Of
those that select the delegates,
I guess he has a sizeable bunch,
so they are not going to get
away from him. He can take
his year What he has got he
has got pretty solid.
q. Do you think that he
could add TO that some Of the
Western States2
A. Yes, the smaller ones. He

but take-Ssme of these younger
fellows so that all points of
view in the party are repre-
sented. Then I think that it
would serve very useful pur-
pose, for two things: One, we
might come up with some new
ideas, hammering out ideas and
alternative programs to some
of these problems that we face
today. And then secondly, it
could be a terrific forum.
You could get THE Old Man"
there, and he has still a lot
of affection which the Ameri-
can people hold. Whatever his
place in history may become
as a President, well, Eisen-
hover, there is no doubt about
it, he is still terrific.
@. Senator, speaking of an
other national leader, there
have been reports. that Chair
man Miller may step down very
shortly as head of the Repub-
lican National Committe. Do
you think he will stay on?
A. l think that Bill is doing
a good job, and I have been
hopeful that he would see
through the 1864 convention,
and then it is up to the
nominee. There was a lot of
grumbling up here at the COM
mittee meeting. Every time you
take a defeat you get a lot
of grumbling. I just put 1t up
to them, who the hell have
you got2" said Before you
fire Miller, let us see who you
are going to put in there" and
that pretty we'll stopped the
argument.

Southern Democrats
Already Conservative

A. No. that is not the point.
How are you going to get any,
body more conservative than
some of these Southern Demo-
Gratis are? The point is not
that the individual isn't just
as conservative, but you will
never change the leadership OF
the Congress and the commit
tees, and that is where your
national policy comes from.
@. Looking ahead to 1864,
do you think the Republican
Party needs to nominate some-
body (for President) who is a
moderate. who can appeal to
both the Northern cities and
the Southern?
A. / have been listening 10
so much Of this talk Of Give
us a choice, let us put up a
real conservative" which you
get in so many parts Of the
country, both South and North
But l don't know how we'll a
person like Goldwater would
run, I personally am not sure
that a person with his philos-
ophy could win the presidency
Of the United States. but
maybe 1864 is the time to try
it.
q. In 1860 Vice President
Nixon represented what most
people thought was a middle
road Republican course. He
since then he has lost the Cali
fornia governorship. Is there a
future in the party for Mr..
Nixon?
A. Well. he still has a very
substantial following. Certainly

Rockefeller Image
Liberal in Spots

q. In this search for the best
man, what do you think of this
talk that perhaps Gov. Rookie
feller of New York is too lib
eral for the party on a ma
tional basisP
A. Well, Rockefeller has in
certain areas a more liberal
image than I think his record
as Governor of New York JUS
titles. I think he is a very
sound fiscal man, and he has
had courage to see that If the
people of New York want these
programs, they are going to
pay for them, and raise the
money. I think a lot of this
comes about through jockeying
within the party.
Goldwater supporters paint
Rockefeller as a flaming lib
eral, and Rockefeller support
ers paint Goldwater as to the
right of Mckinley. I think if
Gov. Rockefeller does serious
ly go after this thing. my ad-
vice to him would be to devote
a little time to the South.
@. Senator, do you think Gov.
Rockefeller and Senator Gold
water could combine or should
combine on the Republican
ticket2
@. I don't believe, based on
what they say now, that either
Goldwater or Rockefeller
would consider running for the
vice presidency.
@. Does Gov. George Rom
ney of Michigan look like he
has a chance in 1864?
A. Yes. If he can do a Job
in Michigan I think he has a
chance, and the same as to
Gov. Scranton of Pennsylvania.
You can't tell what will happen.
@. At this point would you
rate Scranton's chances as good
as Romney's for the top. of the
ticket, or not quite as good?
A. For some reason, and I
don't know why, professional
Republican politicians - State
chairmen and National Com
mittee people and county chair
men - without knowing either
Scranton or Romney or too
much about them, have sort Of
formed an opinion that Scran-
ton is more of a Republican
team player. These are the
people who were complaining
that Eisenhower never took
any interest in political affairs
until right at the end.
But for some reason, and I
don't know why, you talk to a
Republican, talk to my nation
al committeeman in Kentucky
or any of them, and they will
tell you Il don't know abut
that Romney but this Scran-
ton looks like a real Republi-
can. That is what we need"
Why they form that opinion I
don't know.

Hatfield and Ford
Possible Dark Horses

@. Do you see any dark
horses at this point, either for
the presidency or for the vice
presidency?
A. I think if Rockefeller de-
cided he isn't going to make
this race, a dark horse becomes
quite a possibility, but who it
is l don't know. There is some
support for Mark Hatfield.
There is some support for Jerry
Ford.
@. Are you talking about the
presidential nomination or vice
presidential nominee?
A. I was thinking of the vice
presidential nomination. That
can be a dark horse easily. I
think somebody like Ford, If
he gets out and gets a little
exposure, can be a possibility.
Maybe the little taste of pub
licity he got in the fight the
other day will stimulate him
to get out and get going. I
think he is a terrific guy my
self.
@. Between now and the 1864
campaign, what will happen to
the "Ev and Charlie Show"P
A. I think the "Ev and
Charlie Show" will continue.
The news people are going to
go to them for news, because
of their party positions, and
l think that that is going to
continue.
@. Do you think the Ev and
Charlie Show is as Senator

1t is up to Mr., Nixon. He has
announced his retirement, but
I should think that he still
could be of substantial service
to our party.
q. Do you think he is
through politically?
A. Well, I think for some
time, yes, because l don't think
for one thing that he wants
to go ahead, 1t depends on what
opportunities would come along
i am certain, although I
haven't discussed it with him,
that he will not under any
consideration be a candidate
for any position on the ma
tional ticket in 1864.

@. What about the All-Re-

to have disappeared since it

need a forum outside of the
congressional leaders to state

clusion that we do. But I think
that the group should consist

Ex-Muid Tries
To Kill Actor
Montgomery

VAN NUYS, Calf. Aug. %
(AP) "A former maid Of
George Montgomery and his
divorced wife, Dinah Shore,
tried to shoot him yesterday
because she was in love with
him, police said.
A bullet missed Mr.. Mont
gomery by inches as he wrested
a pistol from her, officers said.
The woman, Ruth Wenzel.
81, was booked on suspicion Of
assault with intent to commit
murder.
Police said they found a note
in the woman's purse which
said:
Il am planning to kill George
Montgomery and then myself,
Of course
mo one loves him as much
as I do"
Police Sergt. Joe Barton said
Miss Wenzel worked for Mr..
Montgomery and Miss Shore
for eight months several years
ago. He said Miss Wenzel
apparently broke into the ac-
tors home Sunday and waited
without food for him until
his return from New York
yesterday.
