The association testimony
was in line with legislation

Quiet Reflections Seen as Changing
Estimates of Republican Leaders

fact, however, is that no one
can show that Governor
Rockefeller would be a better
candidate against President
johnson than he would have
been against President Ken
nedy. That is his central
weakness.
In view OF the growing
prominence given to Mr.. Nix
on's chances by Republican
leaders across the Nation, it
is surprising that his support

BILE. The one point on which
there is agreement is that

self takes an active part. No
evidence exists that he is
contemplating such a cam
paign.
The big surprise is the
amount Of interest in Ambas-
sador Lodges intentions. He
is very well known in New
Hampshire, where the Bos-
ton papers have a large cir
culation, and he has many
friends who are eager to
work for him.
These supporters see no OBJ
lection to his candidacy
because he accepted an ap-
pointment from President
Kennedy as Ambassador to
Wet Nam. They advance the
classic defense that an Am
bassador does not make poll
cy. and therefore American
policy in Wet Nam will con-
tinue without change even
though Mr.. Lodge should
leave Saigon. Then they say
that Mr.. Lodge would be
open to criticism only If he
used the problems Of Wet
Nam in a divisive and par
tisan spirit for purpose Of
personal gain in American
politics. There is nothing to
suggest that such a condem-
nation could fairly be
brought against him. Finally,
his supporters say that Mr..
Eisenhower Is as good a
judge Of the propriety of Mr..
Lodges entry into the presi-
Dental race as any American
could possibly be. They think

MAX FRIEDMAN

A curious pause has fallen
over the preparations for the
New Hampshire primary in
March. No political activity
Of any kind has taken place
during this period of mourn
ing. but there has been a
great deal Of quiet reflection
which has changed the esti-
mates Of Republican leaders
In New Hampshire.
The simplest way to ex-
plain the nature Of the
change is to say that the
race is now wide open" Two
months ago Senator Gold
water had q very large lead
over Governor Rockefeller.
Now other names are being
heard; no one has overtaken
Senator Goldwater; but the
contest Is in a state Of confu-
sion and all predictions
should be treated with re-
serve.
The greatest source of
strength for Senator Gold
water In New Hampshire was
the belief that he provided a
clear choice" between his
philosophy Of government
and the philosophy of the
K nnedy administration.
Now the Republicans are not
so sure.
President johnson has
made q great impression by
his critical review of the
budget. He may not be able
to make very large cuts. but
people believe him when he
says he is the enemy of
waste and is ready to reduce
the number of people on
Federal payrolls. President
Johnson has not made the
mistake Of praising planned
deficits" He. like President
Kennedy. is separated from
Senator Goldwater by deep
and abiding differences on
issues ranging from civil
rights to foreign affairs. But
it will be much harder for
Senator Goldwater to CAM
paign against the evils of Big
Government when his target
is President johnson rather
than President Kennedy.
This new fact is being
widely discussed in New
Hampshire. There have been
no important defections. it
should be emphasized, from
Senator Goldwater. His or
ganized support remains I'M
shaken. But the ability Of his
followers to make converts
has been weakened. and
their earlier confidence has
lost its fighting edge.
That does not mean that
Governor Rockefeller has
greatly improved his position.
He had planned to campaign
intensively In New Hamp-
shire before Christmas.
These plans have all been
abandoned. In January his
legislative duties will make 1t
very hard for him to leave
New York. The fundamental

ROME-The fantastic pro-
paganda placing the blame
for President Kennedy's as
saSsination on "hate mong-
ers." ''racists," and rightwin-
gers, Is being carried in the
European papers. It is Begin
ming to puzzle the Europeans,
for the simple reason that no
one has denied that Lee Os-
valid, who held the rifle, was
q Red.
It Is understandable that
the racists. etc, were
first suspected within hours
after the tragedy. Not only
was it put on the air within
minutes by the Russian and
affiliated radio stations
throughout the world, but it
also was found in the editori-
ais Of some Of the respected
American newspapers with
European circulation. They
more than limited that the
hate mongers" were at least
morally guilty for Oswald's
crime.
It has been weeks since
the murder Of the President,
but European news media
continue to feature American
stories such as the investiga-
tive commission headed by
Chief Justice Earl Warren.
Although 1t has become more
than q fair assumption that
Oswald was q pSychopath.
the historical screams that
Am erica Is divided by
hatred" are still being taken
up by even some Of the seri-
GUS journals and weeklieS in
Europe.

New bills aimed at winning
prompt approval of the plan to
build the National Cultural
Center as a memorial to Presi-
dent Kennedy have been intro
duced in the House.
The major difference be-
tween the measures and White
se-backed legislation intro
duced earlier is in financing
provisions.
The new bills, introduced
yesterday by four Influential
members Of the House Public
Works Committee, apparently
were drafted to try to answer
questions raised at a hearing
Thursday.
The original, administration
backed legislation calls for I'M
limited Federal funds to match
private contributions for the
center.
Agreed on Funds
At a Joint hearing Thursday
before the Senate and House
Public Works Committees, Off
cials for the center had conced-
ed under questioning that $l5.5
million in Government funds
would be enough to get the
project built.
The four identical House
bills set this SIS million as
the maximum Federal grant.
The revised measures were
introduced by Representative
Buckley, Democrat Of New
York, who Is chairman Of the
Public Works Committee; Rep.
reSentative Jones, Democrat OF
Alabama, chairman Of the
Buildings and Grounds Sub
committee; Representative
Wright, Democrat of Texas
who is a member Of the CEN
ter's Board of Trustees. and
Representative Auchincloss OF
New Jersey, the committees
ranking Republican member.
The bills also authorize Gull
tural Center trustees to issue
revenue bonds up to a total of
$15.4 million to pay for parking
construction.
Pledge Total SIS Million
The $50 million center is to
be built on a 13-acre site on
the banks Of the Potomac near
the new Roosevelt Bridge. Pri-
vate contributions and pledges
now total about SIS million.

day, which are in the form of
Joint congressional resolutions,

numerous persons to join in the
hearings, including individuals,
civic leaders, and law enforcement
officers from both st. Paul and
Minneapolis. He said that the
United States Commission on
Civil Rights, charged with the
responsibility Of reporting to Con-
gress and the President facts re-
lating to equal protection of the
laws, has long been interested in
problems involving the admins
tration Of justice, especially with
minority groups. The Minnesota
Advisory Committee to the Com
mission, one of fifty federally ap-
pointed, Is similarly interested in
such problems.
Two other states, California and
Massachusetts, are presently en-
gagged in depth studies Of law en-
forcement practices relating to
minorities.
The areas Of inquiry to be COW
cred in the hearings, according to
Fligelman, are:
l. What are the attitudes in the
community regarding the law en-
forcement agencies, especially in
the Negro and American Indian
communities Are there any po-
lice practices in the area which
have fallen short of the goal of
equal protection under the law?
Are people deprived Of due pro-
cess? Are such practices, II any,
related to racial or ethnic con-
siderations
2. What is the pattern of en-
ployment and upgrading in the
law enforcement agencies? Are
