"Dramatic Shift' July 28

Rocky Runs First in New Ohio Poll

By Abe Zaidan

Special to The Washington Post

AKRON, Ohio, July 26—New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller has replaced Richard M. Nixon as the apparent front-running presidential candidate among members of the Ohio Republican delegation who expressed a preference in a poll conducted by the Akron Beacon Journal.

The poll, which included 51 of the State's 57 GOP delegates (a 58th delegate will be named at Miami Beach to fill a vacancy), gave Rockefeller 17 votes, Nixon 13 and Gov. Ronald Reagan one. Twenty delegates said they were undecided.

In contrast, an earlier poll published by the Beacon Journal on June 16 showed 23 delegates for Nixon, eight for Rockefeller and 25 uncommitted.

The delegation is pledged to Ohio favorite son Gov. James A. Rhodes on the first ballot. Although there has been speculation that Rhodes might release the delegation at a pre-convention caucus if he sensed an overwhelming tide for Nixon, 46 of Ohio's delegates reported they wanted the Governor to hold out for one or more ballots.

Rhodes has said his decision will be based on developments at the party caucus in Miami Beach.

The Beacon Journal said the "dramatic shift" in the mood of the Ohio delegation

was prompted by Nixon's apparent inability to generate enthusiasm among urban voters, particularly among disenchanted Democrats, independents and Negroes.

Several delegates also noted they were impressed by Rockefeller's pitch to them earlier this month in Columbus that although they might differ with him on certain issues, he could win in November and Nixon couldn't.

And although Ohio has generally been regarded as a Nixon stronghold, a number of GOP delegates who took part in the poll declared they are solely concerned now with choosing the strongest possible candidate, the newspaper said.

Another factor being weighed by the delegation is Rhodes' own marketability at the convention.

"In Ohio, at least, Rhodes' own political fortunes, including a shot at the national ticket, are believed to be enhanced by his holding out for a second, third or later ballot," the paper reported. He has repeatedly denied any national ambitions.

But Rhodes has been worried about Nixon's strengths in the big cities and during Nixon's recent visit to Ohio, the Governor touted Mayor John V. Lindsay of New for the vice presidency.

At the same time, Rhodes has remained silent on his choice of a presidential nominee.

The drum-beating for Lidnsay continued Friday when six of the eight-member Cuyahoga County (Clevleand) GOP delegation voted to nominate Lindsay for President once they are released by Rhodes. Two delegates—Reps. Frances Bolton and William Minshall—weren't present but were said to be friendly to either Rockefeller or Lindsay.

Cuyahoga County GOP co-chairman Robert E. Hughes said the move was designed to raise Lindsay's stock at the convention as a vice presidential nominee while enhancing Rockefeller's bid for the top spot.

Another Cleveland delegate described the tone of

Friday's meeting this way: "We agreed that if Nixon headed the national ticket, our County ticket would be slaughtered."

* That the overwhelming majority of Negroes do not unequivocally oppose the riots. They ambivalent and explore the violence in riots, but a majority feel that the riots will have beneficial consequences for improving the Negro's social and economic conditions.

"After all," the study asks,
"is it conceivable that several

erupted in nearly every Negro
ghetto in the United States
over the past five years
against the opposition of 98

community?

"And is it conceivable that militant young Negroes would have ignored the customary restraints on rioting in the United States, including the commitment to orderly social change, unless they enjoyed the tacit support of at least a sizable minority of the black community?"

indicate the necessity for fun-

can society.

They also emphasize that future riots may gain recruits from the more favorable segments of the Negro community. They quote a 1966 national Louis Harris poll that

Most Blacks
Seek Identity
As a Culture

By William Chapman

Washington Post Staff Writer

While a large majority of
American Negroes reject ra-
cial separatism as a goal,
many of them exhibit strong
desires for a black cultural
identity within white society.

This is one of the key find-
ings of a manmonth study of
raical attitudes prepared for
the National Advisory Com-
mission on Civil Disorders.

The public opinion sam-
pling, for example, turned up
this evidence of what it called
a type of "pluralism"—rejec-
tion of the idea of a separate
society but enforcement of
ideas that would establish a
distinctively Negro culture:

* Forty-two per cent of the Negroes interviewed believed that Negro school children should study an African language.

* Ninety-four per cent believed there should be more Negro-owned businesses and stores and 70 per cent thought Negroes should shop in Negro-owned stores whenever possible.

* Ninety-six per cent thought that Negroes should take more pride in Negro history.

On the other hand, the sur-
vey did not find much evi-
dence to support the idea that
Negroes lean toward separa-
tism in the sense of establish-
ing a "black state" or of re-
jecting integration with
whites.

Forty-eight per cent, for ex-
ample, said they would prefer
to live in a neighborhood half-
Negro and half-white. Another

# GOP Rates Nixon 5, Rocky 2

By George Gallup

PRINCETON, N.J., July 27— Richard Nixon is the clear first choice of his party's rank-and-file to head the GOP ticket this fall and holds a 5-to-2 lead over his nearest rival, Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York.

These findings are based on a carefully-designed sample of the nation's Republicans interviewed between July 20 and 24.

Gov. Ronald Reagan of California wins the third greatest number of votes—but less than one-third the number won by Rockefeller. Next in order are Mayor John Lindsay of New York City, Sen. Charles Percy of Illinois, Sen. Mark Hatfield of Oregon and Harold Stassen.

This question was asked of 1522 adults to measure GOP candidate popularity:

"Here is a list of men (list includes 7 names) who have been mentioned as possible presidential candidates for the Republican party in 1968. Which ONE of these men would you like to see nominated as the Republican candidate for President?"

Here are the choices of Republicans in the latest survey compared with those from the previous survey in March. The results show Nixon's popularity with his party followers holding firm.

Among Independents — a large bloc of voters who do not align themselves with either major party—Nixon also holds the lead over Rockefeller but his margin is slim.

Rockefeller has registered gains with this group since March while Nixon's support has declined slightly.

The favorite candidate of the Republican rank-and-file in final pre-convention surveys has turned out to be the choice of the convention in all presidential races since 1936, with the exception of 1964 when Sen. Barry Goldwater won the nomination. The final pre-convention survey that year showed Gov. William Scranton, a moderate, favored by 2-to-1.

The Democrats' Vietnam Warfare

Political party platforms are not supposed to matter much, unless they generate a really rousing floor fight which in turn produces a really serious party split and it is too soon to say whether that will be the outcome of the Democratic Platform Committee hearings on Vietnam which open here today. At this point it is perhaps enough to note that the Committee's hearings could matter quite a lot if they merely produce enough succinct and straightforward statements from all sides to establish what the squabble is all about between Vice President Humphrey, and the forces of Senators McCarthy, the late Senator Robert Kennedy, and Senator George McGovern. Given the current state of confusion—largely compounded by the flurry of statements over the weekend—mere clarification of the issues would be a considerable service, not just to party and to country, but to all of us who have to listen to this squalid family fight.

One day it's Vice President Humphrey saying that he is not going to repudiate the Johnson Administration's war policy. And the next day he's telling us that he and Robert Kennedy had come "to hold remarkably similar views on Vietnam"—leaving a good many people to wonder what it was the late Senator was doing in his campaign for the nomination if he was not seeking a wholesale repudiation of what he once referred to as "this immoral war." What Mr. Humphrey was apparently trying to do was demonstrate his own difference with Senator McCarthy on the central question of "imposing" a coalition government on South Vietnam as part of a general settlement; his method of doing so was to ally himself with a statement made by Robert Kennedy just before his death, to the effect that he would not force a coalition with the Communists upon South Vietnam and that Senator McCarthy, by implication, would.

Whereupon Senator McCarthy yesterday said he wouldn't really do that; he would simply set out to negotiate an interim coalition government for

the sake of presiding over free elections, at which point he would accept whatever government emerged. He added that if the Government in Saigon refused to accept such an interim arrangement, the United States ought to withdraw its support from the war, but this didn't strike him as "imposing" anything.

This is only a fragment of the confusion that has arisen recently out of Senator McCarthy's effort to provoke a showdown on Vietnam, and Mr. Humphrey's efforts to avoid one—without breaking with the President.

Yesterday, Mr. Humphrey appeared to be tiring of this game; he described his differences with Senator McCarthy as "fundamental." By contrast with his prediction a day earlier of a Vietnam platform plank that "will meet the requirements of most Democrats," he seemed more of a mind to face a showdown with the McCarthy-Kennedy forces, not just on the merits of the key Vietnam issues, but on the broader question of whether terms for a bombing halt or the feasibility of a "coalition" government in Saigon are fit subjects, in the middle of negotiations, for a Party platform plank.

The result may well be a bitter struggle over the Vietnam platform plank. Before it's over, Mr. Humphrey may have to choose, more decisively than he would like to choose at this stage, between being President Johnson's Vice President and his own man. But there are worse things than a showdown out in the open on the Convention floor, especially if, in the process, the differences on Vietnam between the warring Democratic factions are clearly defined, and, one way or another, resolved. The penalty for continued efforts to paper over irreconcilable differences is likely to be paid not only in continuing confusion at home but in potentially far more serious mis-readings of American political prospects by those who are making the war-or-peace decisions in Hanoi.

Largest Viet Union
Plans to Form Party

SAIGON, Aug. 18 — The largest trade union in Vietnam plans to form a political party to represent its members in future elections.

Tran Quoc Buu, chairman of the big CVT (Vietnamese Workers Confederation), said in an interview that in the next few weeks he would launch "a sister organization to deal with politics."

The union gets its strength from plantation workers, dock and transport workers, and some farmers. It is also affiliated with the Hoa Hao religious sect, which is powerful in the Mekong Delta area.

"The CVT is so big now," said Buu, "that it can no longer stand aloof from politics. We feel it necessary to play a role in the government and political life."

Of a future political settlement in Vietnam Buu said that members of the NLF could be play a role in the nation's political society only if they gave up both their arms and their Communist affiliations.

# Nixon Declines to List
## His Campaign Priorities

AUG 19 1968

By Ward Just

Washington Post Staff Writer

SAN DIEGO, Calif., Aug. 18—In a low-keyed press conference Richard M. Nixon today declined to specify either the major themes of his campaign or to enter debate over the qualifications of his choice of Maryland Gov. Spiro T. Agnew as his running mate.

He sought to put the quietus on reports that the major vehicle for the Nixon campaign would be television. Not so, Nixon said:

"I am not going to barricade myself in a television studio and make this an antiseptic campaign."

The strategy sessions at Mission Bay here were pronounced "very successful." The objectives of the eight days of meetings, Nixon said, were to unite the Republicans "across the land," to mesh the Nixon and Agnew campaigns, and to fix first priorities for the national campaign and the campaign in California. "we succeeded" in all three, Nixon said.

He said he was disturbed neither at the criticism of Agnew, nor at the apparent coolness to his candidacy among Negro and civil rights-minded white voters. As soon as they had a chance to know Agnew as Nixon knew him, the nominee said, they would find he had "a balanced judgment and a fine intellect."

"I wanted a candidate who could campaign nationally," Nixon said, "not a sectional or regional candidate. I wanted a candidate whose views at least were consistent with mine, so that I could entrust him with major responsibilities."

Nixon said he had a "newtle" in mind for his vice president, the details of which he

would be describing "quite precisely" as the campaign ground on.

### For Soviet Meetings

In brief and limited forays into the field of foreign affairs, the former vice president proposed—as he has in the past—a series of high-level meetings with the Soviet Union. He said he would not respond to attacks on him in the Soviet press because that would "heat up" the atmosphere.

The conference focused mainly on politics, with the nominee, looking tanned and healthy after eight days in the southern California sun, conceding that campaign costs would be "very high," and insisting that while his campaign would center on the industrial states of the North it would be truly a "national campaign." Nixon also disclosed that if he became president he doubted that he would have a "summer White House."

"I don't like to be away from the action for more than three or four days at a time,"

Nixon said. The action, he indicated, was in Washington, D.C.

Meanwhile, it was learned that trouble is brewing in the Nixon staff. It is understood to be basically a dispute between the political staff that plotted the strategy that won Nixon the Republican nomination and the policy staff that will develop issues for the campaign.

### Whalen Quits

The first casualty is Richard J. Whalen, a biographer of Joseph P. Kennedy ("The Founding Father") and one of Nixon's key issues men. Whalen left San Diego for Washington early this week reportedly furious at the ascendancy of the "politicals"—led by campaign manager John Mitchell, and campaign director Robert Ellsworth.

Staffers here insist that the disaffection—if that is what it is—is purely temporary and that Whalen will return to the campaign later this month, but the Whalen contretemps only illustrated, in the minds of some observers here, a problem endemic to any campaign.

Once the nomination is won, a presidential campaign ceases concentration on delegates and party political leaders and switches to a strategy designed to win votes from the public. It is almost inevitable, then, that the influence of political managers declines as the star of the policy men rises.

What has disturbed Whalen, according to accounts here, was that this process would be reversed, that the national campaign would be waged as the primary campaign had been waged—in largely unspecific terms. The policy and research staff, by this view, were being bypassed.

Campaign '68

AUG 19 1968

# A Nixon 'Partnership' with Rockefeller (AG)

By Marquis Childs

© 1968, United Feature Syndicate

THE GOOD SOLDIER Nelson Rockefeller is ready to respond when the captain of the team calls on him this week. He will tell Richard Nixon, his party's nominee for President, that he is prepared to work hard for him in the fall, as he did in the 1960 campaign.

Some soul-searching has gone into this while Rockefeller has been resting on his ocean front estate at Seal Harbor, Maine. Miami Beach and Nixon's failure to consult with the Governor of New York and his chief rival for the nomination on the choice of Spiro Agnew to be the Vice-Presidential candidate left a bitter taste.

While he will play the loyal soldier and his support of the ticket was never in doubt, Rockefeller, now in the middle of his third term as Governor, is keenly aware of a political equation with disturbing implications. When he fills by appointment the Senate seat left vacant by the death of Robert F. Kennedy, every statewide office with minor exceptions will be held by Republicans. This is due in large measure to his leadership and to his almost single-handed financial support for the party organization in the state. With 43 electoral votes, New York has the biggest prize.

Yet if Nixon follows the strategy indicated by the choice of Agnew—a Southern-border-state-Midwest-West strategy—he could win without New York and, for that matter, without two other big-city industrial states, Michigan and Pennsylvania. He would need only Illinois or Ohio, if the strategy should succeed, to give him the required 270 electoral votes.

THE SOUTHERN STRATEGY, with Strom Thurmond of South Carolina and John Tower of Texas in conspicuous roles,

can be disastrous in New York, where the Democrats have an edge in registration of 800,000. Furthermore, the Conservative party, which racked up nearly a half million votes in the 1966 election for Governor, and the liberals on the other end of the spectrum may cut deeply into Republican ranks. For Rockefeller, losing his own state would put a full stop to his political career.

Nixon is reported, however, to have another card to play. It would not be surprising if, coming out of his meeting with Rockefeller, he should tell reporters he had asked the Governor to serve as Secretary of State in his Cabinet in the event of his election. That was the word floated by middle-level Nixon people during the Miami Beach convention. While the odds are against such a public declaration this early in the game, it would be the kind of bold move indicating his complete assurance that marked the Nixon march to the nomination.

Rockefeller's associates suggest that in considering such a proposal the Governor would have to ask for specific guidelines guaranteeing his independence in the key foreign-policy position. He could never be, these associates say, with his broad background and experience, a technician taking orders from the President. Here again, if Nixon should issue a call, the good soldier would find it hard to say no.

In short, Rockefeller has a great deal to offer, not only in political appeal but for the promise of success of a future administration. And that may explain one of the improbable rumors of an improbable year. Vice-President Hubert Humphrey is said to be considering a similar bid to Rockefeller, perhaps even before his nomination. All that can be said of this is that the two do share a mutual respect.

When it comes to the other coast and the other Governor who contested for the nomi-

nation, the political equation is comparatively simple. While Ronald Reagan may want to escape the obsessive demands of the governorship and the demand for more taxes, as has been reported, he has little to add to an administration headed by Nixon. During the campaign he can be valuable in whipping up the conservatives and the party faithful who have flocked to his fund-raising dinners.

REAGAN and his strategists failed at Miami Beach to get the Southern delegate votes that might, with Rockefeller's total, have blocked a first-ballot nomination. He was outmaneuvered from the start. Nixon owes little more than a polite nod to the Republican Governor of the most populous state in the Union.

Nixon carried California in 1960. In the late hours of election night, when it seemed that John F. Kennedy might lose the election after the early sweep in the East, California was a cliff-hanger. The absentee ballots decided the outcome for Nixon, as Herb Klein had predicted they would.

By a hair-line margine of 8,000 votes out of 4,757,394 cast, Nixon lost Illinois. In both states the conservative trend is marked this year, with Reagan's wealthy backers in California going all out for the Nixon-Agnew ticket. With a second-rate ticket in Illinois, the Democrats are dispirited and disorganized.

Having carved out his own position with an unerring eye for the realities of the time as he sees them, Nixon can afford a large degree of independence. Yet, if he could bring Rockefeller into active partnership, not only his campaign but his posture in the Presidency would be strengthened. Moreover, he owes Rockefeller a debt for the challenge that brought some life into what was otherwise a dead convention.

# Morton and Other Backers of Rocky Agree to Assist in Nixon's Campaign

AUG. 15 1968

By Ward Just

Washington Post Staff Writer

SAN DIEGO, Calif., Aug. 14—Sen. Thruston B. Morton, a principal backer and co-manager of Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller's presidential campaign, signed on with Richard M. Nixon today as a special assistant.

"He will play a major role in the campaign," Nixon said in announcing the appointment at his vacation retreat here. The Republican nominee indicated that Morton would travel "continuously" with him, advising on political matters. Morton has a wide acquaintance among liberal Republican leaders.

The Kentucky Senator said he anticipated no difficulty in gaining the support of Rockefeller backers. He pointed out that in a statement before the convention, he agreed to support the party nominee. "I have the highest respect for Gov. (Spiro T.) Agnew," Morton said in a reference to Nixon's vice presidential running mate.

Nixon's Republican tent grew larger today with the addition of Minnesota Gov. Harold LeVander, who agreed to become Nixon's chairman in Minnesota, Colorado Gov. John Love, Rhode Island Gov. John Chafee, and Washington Gov. Dan Evans. All were Rockefeller supporters, but all indicated an "enthusiastic response" to the ticket in Nixon-initiated phone calls today and last night, according to the former Vice President's aides.

Among others who also agreed to work for the ticket were former Sen. Barry Goldwater, with whom Nixon spoke this morning. Herbert G. Klein, Nixon's communications director, said that the Republican nominee would

meet with former Pennsylvania Gov. William Scranton in Harrisburg next week; Scranton was also a Rockefeller supporter at the GOP National Convention.

Republican National Chairman Ray Bliss told reporters this morning that "never have I seen the party more united and more determined to win." The Nixon forces have asked Bliss to stay on as chairman, and he agreed. Bliss said there would be no difficulty in coordinating the National Committee with the Nixon committee.

Sources close to the Nixon camp indicated today that the strategy sessions here are centering on the role of Nixon, Agnew, and the nationally known Republicans who have agreed to campaign: Rockefeller, New York Mayor John Lindsay, and California Gov. Ronald Reagan, among others.

Some of Nixon's political advisers are urging him to concentrate on major appearances in some twenty or so states, leaving the hectic 20-hour days and barnstorming to Agnew and the other Republicans.

Today, Nixon met with representatives of the state com-

mittees of Texas, Michigan, New York, Illinois and Pennsylvania. A meeting with his Finance Committee, headed by economist Maurice Stans, was to follow.

The nominee also met with his economic advisory committee, which is headed by Dr. Arthur Burns, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers in the Eisenhower Administration. Other members who are here include economists Milton Friedman, Don Parlberg, Allan Greenspan and Pierre Rinfret.

Burns told newsmen at a morning press conference that while the American economy "is the strongest in the world," prosperity has suffered. The Vietnam war, the support of which Burns says occupies a tenth of the Nation's work force, is a "heavy drain." The rate of inflation is accelerating, and taxes now consume a third of the net national product.

"While we had a high level of employment generally," Burns said, "some of our people . . . are suffering from a serious depression. The condition is especially serious among Negro teen-agers."

Burns went on to say that the group was in disagreement over the efficacy of Friedman's "negative income tax proposal," but indicated there was general agreement that taxes, interest rates and insurance rates were too high.

The most serious threat to prosperity was riots "in the streets and in the schools," he said. "As the experience of France tells us, we may have rioting in our factories."

Did he expect that, a reporter asked.

"I hope not," Burns said, "but it's something we ought to be thinking about."

# Selection of Nixon-Agnew Ticket
## Demoralizes GOP in Minnesota
AUG 18-19 1968

MINNEAPOLIS—Nothing so well dramatizes the bitter reaction to the Nixon-Agnew Republican ticket in this Northern liberal state as the confidential reports from party workers to local Republican leaders.

"Did Nixon really sell out to the South?" asked a Republican field worker in Minneapolis. Another party leader warned his district chairman that some party workers are condemning the ticket as "anti-minority."

Party headquarters in Ramsey County (St. Paul) was the immediate target of a telephone barrage early this week from Republican voters, most of whom took an angry tack summed up by one local leader as "negative" to both Nixon and Agnew—but more to Agnew than Nixon.

Moreover, the immediate political response here to Richard Nixon's decision to take Maryland Gov. Spiro (Ted) Agnew as his running-mate, a name most Republican voters had never heard before, already tastes like heady wine to the badly-split, demoralized Democratic Farmer-Labor Party of Vice President Humphrey and Sen. Eugene McCarthy.

THE TELEPHONE switchboard in DFL headquarters in St. Paul started lighting up last Thursday, the day Nixon announced his choice of Agnew, with calls from voters asking what they could do for the Democratic presidential ticket and making no distinction between Humphrey or McCarthy.

One Republican ward leader reported to his county chairman that the Democrats feel they have been handed "a big gift."

Some of this hot emotion will undoubtedly pass as the

campaign starts, but two fundamental moods now prevalent here are certain to last out the campaign. First, the state Republican Party headed by Gov. Harold LeVander and State Chairman George Thiss, both pre-convention Rockefeller backers, will put their muscle into local races. With Gov. Nelson Rockefeller at the head of the ticket, the Republicans had a chance to beat Humphrey in his home state. No Republican leader gives Nixon a ghost of a chance.

The second post-convention mood, a feeling of deep bitterness among the youthful Rockefeller workers, is more serious for the future of the party. At a closed-door caucus of the Minnesota delegation in Miami Beach immediately after Agnew's selection became known, two dozen young Republicans who had worked for Rockefeller were ready to walk out of the convention with a blast at Nixon. Only a pledge by LeVander that the Minnesota delegation would vote against Agnew (the delegation went 22 to 4 for Michigan Gov. George Romney) kept them in Miami Beach.

EVEN SO, several of these young liberals, the party's best talents for the future, openly stated not

only that they would not work for Nixon-Agnew but would not even vote Republican.

Disaffection is strongest among Rockefeller supporters who never worked in a political campaign before. But even party-oriented members of the Young Republican League of Minnesota are now threatening to boycott the fall campaign. One young Republican leader says privately that there is a strong inclination on the part of several prominent Young Republicans to "disavow the whole ticket."

Party leaders are not so disenchanted and in conservative upstate areas they are well content. But some of the shrewdest state leaders are deeply troubled that the Miami Beach convention failed to halt the trend toward Southern and border state sectionalism that put the party to its humiliating 1964 defeat.

AS THEY see it, Nixon plotted his winning convention strategy months ago, including his selection of Agnew as his running-mate. They are now forecasting (as one told us) a "silk-glove, law-and order backlash campaign in the South, the border states, the West, and the big-city suburbs and the hell with the cities and the Negro vote."

In this Northern, basically liberal Republican Party, that is a prescription for disaster. The brightest rising stars in the party, like Minnesota Attorney General Douglas Head (who made an emotional appeal at that Miami Beach caucus to prevent the youthful Rockefeller workers from walking out) know it but seem helpless to stop the trend.

Says Reds Got Peace
Formula Last August

LOS ANGELES (AP)—"Tonight," President Johnson said, referring to a peace proposal to North Vietnam, "I renew the offer I made last August."

In his Sunday speech he apparently was referring to a peace offer he announced publicly in San Antonio, Tex., on Sept. 29 — which came to be known as the San Antonio formula.

Why the reference to August?

It was because a version of the San Antonio formula was first revealed to Hanoi a month before the President's September announcement, The Angeles Times reported in a copy-right article in today's editions.

The newspaper said the most conciliatory U.S. peace pro-

posal was delivered to Hanoi by two Frenchmen, Dr. Herbert Marcovich, 47, a University of Paris microbiologist, and Raymond Aubrac, 53, a director of the Food and Agricultural Organization, a U.N. agency based in Rome.

The two secret U.S. emissaries reportedly constituted two-thirds of a three-link Washington-to-Hanoi chain that launched a new phase of U.S. diplomacy in the war.

The Times said the channel started with Prof. Henry A. Kissinger of Harvard Univer-

sary, a government consultant on national security matters for 17 years. Kissinger, 44, was the administration's link to Marco-vich, who in turn made contact with Aubrac, a friend of North Vietnam's President Ho Chi for more than 20 years.

The indirect channel was necessary. The Times said, because direct contact had not existed between North Vietnam and U.S. diplomats since Feb. 15, 1967.

The Times said the two Fernchemn visited Hanoi last July 21 to lay groundwork for the peace offer. And it added that a similar version of the offer was delivered secretly to Hanoi in January by an unidentified Romanian official after Hanoi had rejected the first version.

The Times said the two messages, never made public, undoubtedly figured strongly in the way Hanoi reacted to President Johnson's announcement Sunday of a partial bombing

halt, and its offer Wednesday to talk with American negotiators.

The background of the secret search for peace in Vietnam w investigated by two Times reporters for seven months in United States and abroad.

Rockefeller Names
Advisers on Issues

NEW YORK (AP) — Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller announced Tuesday that he is assembling a staff of advisers and researchers to help him formulate positions on the "great national and international issues before us."

He named four men and said he is preparing to state his policies on foreign and domestic problems confronting the United States.

In a statement issued by his office, the governor said "other expert advisers in specific fields" will be brought into the staff.

The four named were Dr. Henry Kissinger of Harvard University, Dr. Richard Nathan of the Brookings Institute, Oscar Reubhausen, a New York City lawyer, and John Emmett Hughes, widely known writer.

Rockefeller announced March 21 that he would not be a candidate for the Republican nomination for President. He said, however:

"I have said that I stood ready to answer to any true and meaningful call from the Republican Party to serve it and the nation. I still so stand. I would be derelict or uncandid were I to say otherwise."

Rockefeller Proposal
Helps Clear the Fog

Governor Nelson Rockefeller's four-phase proposal for ending the war in Vietnam is the most explicit statement on that subject any man of influence has yet offered in public.

It is more detailed than anything
President Johnson has proposed. The
President's long-standing offer —
we'll stop bombing if they'll with-
draw to the North — stops far short
of what Mr. Rockefeller proposes.

No other presidential candidate in
either party has brought out a pro-
gram with so few generalities and so
many specifics.

It is characteristic of Mr. Rocke-
feller that his proposal was carefully
worked out in committee. He has
learned, as governor of New York,
to rely on advice from sources he
considers sound, and he spends many
thousands of dollars of his own money
to buy advice he needs as governor.

His advisors on the end-the-war
proposal include Professor Henry A.
Kissinger of Harvard University, who
is head of the Governor's foreign pol-
icy research staff, and retired Lt.
Gen. James M. Gavin, who heads a
citizens' group for Rockefeller.

Briefly, the proposals are these:

(1) A pull-back by both sides and the interposition of a buffer force of neutral troops.

(2) The withdrawal of North Viet-
namese troops from the South and
the end of military operations by the
Viet Cong, which would become a
normal political party in the South.

(3) Free elections, followed by the
withdrawal of all American troops.

(4) A free decision by North and
South whether to unite or to be two
countries. After that decision, the
buffer force would be withdrawn.

IT OUGHT NOT to be hard to sell
this proposal to the people of the
United States. Even the North Viet-
namese might go for it, with a show
of reluctance and much pressure to
get more favorable terms.

The most resistant customers, no
doubt, would be the South Vietna-
mese. Many of their government lead-
ers, especially the hard-core military
men led by Vice President Ky, have
said publicly many times that the
Viet Cong will never be granted
status as a political party in the
South, nor will any other Communist
organization.

South Vietnam is officially com-
mitted to the goal of unification of
the two Vietnams — but not that of
the Ho government of the North and
the anti-Communist government of
the South.

It is impossible to guess what ef-
fect Governor Rockefeller's proposal
will have on the official conversa-
tions in Paris. If the North Vietna-
mese consider them more generous
than any settlement they are likely
to get from the Johnson administra-
tion, the talks will continue to drag
along as propaganda sessions.

But if the North Vietnamese esti-
mated that President Johnson might
be willing to go even further to end
the war while he is still president,
the pace of the talks might suddenly
become much more brisk.

Whatever happens to the official
conversations, and whatever happens
to the political fortunes of Governor
Rockefeller, he has made a note-
worthy contribution toward clarify-
ing the foggy climate of opinion
about ending the Vietnamese war.

# Fighting the Word Battle

(L)

Nelson Rockefeller's decision to enter the presidential race after all has visibly heartened the moderates of his party. It has, however, brought the gravest apprehensions to those who love the English language.

The press conference in which he announced that "the speed of the changes in American life" had caused him to change his mind was a perfect example of his marshy prose style and the lamentable imprecision of his expression.

The governor displays a poverty of vocabulary that is startling in a man so visibly endowed with this world's goods. The adjective eludes him. He has few verbs. His favorite noun is "prahblems" and he can scarcely speak of anything from paving-blocks to world peace without reference to 'our Judaeo-Christian heritage."

He substitutes for the king's English a kind of body English. He is a great arm-squeezer and back-slapper. He winks, grins and shrugs. He does not answer questions. He gives the impression of not having heard them.

In fairness, it should be said that the "reassessment" press conference is the most difficult of all political art forms. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, who held one on March 16, could have warned his governor on this point. What a man is saying in essence at such a moment is this: "Look. I didn't think I had a chance, but the boys got it wrong. I think now I've got a pretty fair shot at it, and I'm going to go."

Kennedy pointed the way for Rockefeller. They both ended up saying that, whereas in the first instance they had held back for fear of splitting their beloved parties, they had, on re-examination, discovered

they would actually bring unity by running against the candidate already in the field. It is not a logical premise, but logic is always the first victim in politics and the expectation is that its moans will become inaudible in the roar of the crowds.

Rockefeller managed to make matters worse by carrying illogic to the point of unreason by volunteering the thought that "true unity is forged by the full examination of the facts and the free interchange of honest convictions" and later in the question period confessing he does not know the facts of Richard Nixon's positions "enough to be able to crystallize an answer."

As for his own "honest convictions" about the war, he declined to share them until the following day, when he read a speech presumably written for him by one of his stable of speechwriters. For a man to offer himself for the presidency without offering a single thought about the war requires splendid nerve.

Rockefeller probably felt safe because his rival, Richard Nixon, who has protested that he has "been talking about the war for 14 years," has contributed the most meaningless sentence of all to the discussion. He went through New Hampshire and Wisconsin pledging to "end the war and win the peace in Southeast Asia."

As a matter of fact, the Republicans, both in the field and on the bench, are exceptionally weak this year, oratorically speaking. Mayor John V. Lindsey, one of the more remote possibilites, has a charismatic presence, but on the platform he speaks in a kind of stilted sing-song. Sen. Charles H. Percy has a fine baritone, but his sentences do not march.

Ronald Reagan of California displays a kind of slack-and-loafers style that goes well in the west but leaves the grammarians unmoved.

The only Republican on the scene who cares about words is Sen. Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois, and he is over age as a presidential contender.

The Democrats, on the other hand, have an impressive lineup. Sen. Kennedy is forceful and intense on the platform. His sentences parse, they have a beat. He has an excellent command of the throwaway line. The other day in Indianapolis, being unable to secure a permit to speak before a crowd of 5,000 in the city square, he said, "I don't want to spend the last five days of my campaign in jail reading the Indianapolis Star."

Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy is, of course, the darling of the word crowd. His formal prose is not quite so polished as that of Adlai Stevenson, but his wit, which combines sophisticated thought and country observation, has attracted a large following. He talks in fables and figures, and he says what he means to a degree almost unknown in politics.

Vice President Hubert Humphrey thinks in paragraphs rather than phrases and is a bit garrulous for the most refined tastes. But beside Rockefeller and Nixon, he is a William Jennings Bryan.

It is probably symptomatic that the minority party is tongue-tied. Being outnumbered and so nervous to begin with, they perhaps feel that words represent more of a problem than an opportunity. Besides, they have the example of Gen. Eisenhower to prove to them that a losing battle with syntax does not necessarily mean defeat at the polls.

Changing attitudes toward the Mafia are dramatically illustrated in this trial of 152 alleged Mafia members. The defendants were packed into

The Mafia, like Italian society in general and that of Sicily in particular, is cellular and dynamic. Its primary unit is the family.

Many Sicilian families have been mafiosi for centuries; the rights and responsibilities of membership in the honored society being passed down from father to son as a treasured heritage.

Mafia families living in the same district and operating in related fields may join together for their mutual advantage in a cosca (artichoke) under the leadership of the strongest and ablest member of the group.

Such cosche may establish working relationships with cosche in other fields within their own geographical area. Finally,

a cosche may establish a loose-linked alliance (consorteria) with similar cosche elsewhere on the island.

An able leader of a strong consorteria may gain an island-wide reputation. But only in very rare circumstances has one man emerged as acknowledged chief of all Sicily's Mafia.

The fields in which the Mafia has and does operate are as varied as Sicilian life itself. They include the cattle trade, the growing and marketing of oranges, the construction business, commerce, banking, shipbuilding and public works. And, it goes without saying, politics.

The two greatest foes of the Mafia in modern times have been fascism and communism.

This is less so for sons (mostly to be strongservative) who have recognized values for power.

# GOP Group Starts
Rockefeller Drive

WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP)— A band of Republicans who want Nelson A. Rockefeller nominated for the White House em-barked Thursday on a new effort to put the New York governor atop the GOP tick-et.

Sen. Thruston B. Morton of Kentucky said that within a month the latest Rockefeller effort will show signs of overtaking former Vice-President Richard M. Nixon.

But an official of Nixon's campaign organization said he is not alarmed at the formation of a new Rockefeller for President Committee, headed by J. Irwin Miller of Columbus, Ind. Miller is chairman of the Cummins Engine Co.

"We are confident that a true draft will develop," Miller said. "We are confident that Gov. Rockefeller will respond to the draft and become a candidate.

IN NEW YORK, Rockefeller expressed confidence he could win the presidency if the party gave him the nomination.

Rockefeller told a news conference the GOP would give the nomination to the person it thought could win the election.

Asked if he thought he could win the election if he received the nomination, Rockefeller replied: "If I didn't think so I wouldn't be here."

MILLER NAMED 32 organizers of the latest Rockefeller committee, including three senators, four governors and three House members. It also included 14 business leaders. Eugene R. Black, former president of the World Bank, was named treasurer.

Morton said the group will strive to collect delegates for Rockefeller, to show the New York governor that he has broad support in the party.

"We'll do it in four weeks," Morton said. "We'll have more delegates lined up in four weeks than a mule can haul."

Morton also said Rockefeller backers are counting on eventual support from states in which the delegates are to be led by favorite son candidates.

HE SAID Rockefeller is aware of every move the group is making.

"He's pleased with the

organization of this committee," Miller said of Rockefeller.

Morton said the group is not starting a stop-Nixon movement.

"The unforeseen and earth-shaking events of recent days, have, in a sense, stopped all the declared candidates in their tracks," he said.

"We're not very concerned about this," said John Sears, who is working to secure Nixon delegates in state Republican conventions. "This is not a business where you stop, start and go — it's not like basketball."

Speculation that Rockefeller may start assuming a more active role in pursuit of the nomination also was strengthened by an announcement Tuesday that he was adding four prominent advisers to his staff.

They are Dr. Henry Kissinger of Harvard University, Dr. Richard Nathan of the Brookings Institute, Oscar Reubhausen, a New York City lawyer, and John Emmet Hughes, a speechwriter and White House staff member in the Dwight D. Eisenhower administration.

Timing Is Out of Their Hands

Gov. Ronald Reagan of California says he isn't sure Lyndon Johnson has bowed out of the Presidential picture. Reagan is not running, but there is plenty of activity in his behalf, in Oregon and elsewhere.

Nelson Rockefeller doesn't want to make a primary fight for the Presidential nomination, but he has hired Emmet Hughes, former Eisenhower speech writer, to serve as his "personal chief of staff" for his noncampaign. Richard Nixon is evidently sure of a big vote in the May 7 Indiana primary, but

he is unopposed. In short, the available Republicans watchfully are waiting while the spotlight focuses on—Ho Chi Minh.

Viet Decision Could Swing Scale

This is the first time that the timing of Presidential politics has been controled by an offshore personality. A big military victory could be turned by Mr. Johnson into a satisfactory peace—in which case Reagan could be right about LBJ's returning to the Presidential lists either in his own person or in behalf of a candidate—Hubert Humphrey.

A victory would leave the Democratic faint-of-hearts, Robert Kennedy and Eugene McCarthy, gasping. As for the Republicans, a good peace would leave them little on which to campaign.

If the peace is bad, with Communists

holding important cabinet positions in a coalition government in Saigon, Nixon's campaign would roar into high gear. That is, if the timing of the bad peace came early enough. A bad peace coming in late October would be something else again: The November vote would be shaped by a feeling of momentary relief at the cessation of fighting, not by any thoughtful consideration of the meaning of events.

But there are some ironies to note. In hiring Emmet Hughes, Rockefeller is taking on the man who believes the cold war is a thing of the past, and is dovish on Viet Nam, which means that he won't be much help if a bad peace is coming up.

Covered on Both Sides

Curiously, a second recent Rockefeller appointee, Dr. Henry A. Kissinger of Harvard, has a reputation for being a hard-headed hard-liner on the Russians.

The bigger irony probably will surface in the Indiana primary, which Kennedy intends to make the first test of his vote-getting appeal. Indiana is not precisely a good theater for a Kennedy blitz. In the 1960 Presidential election, Nixon carried the state by 161,597 to John F. Kennedy's 138,853. Gov. Roger Branigin, a popular Democratic figure, is running as Indiana's favorite son against Kennedy in the primary, and, tho Kennedy has money to burn, Branigin is favored to win handily.

Branigin was a Johnson man. Does this mean he is now a Humphrey man? Or does he, like Ronald Reagan, expect LBJ to return to the wars? Time—and timing—will tell.

The comment came from a spokesman for the Jersey State Bank of River Edge. The spokesman noted that every community in Bergen County with the exception of Rockleigh, has some kind of lending institution within its borders. "If every bank took care of its own, there would be no problem," he said.

## Cites Wallace Candidacy

MAY 4 1968

# Rep. Ford Agrees House May Decide '68 Race (w)

By Richard Corrigan

Washington Post Staff Writer

RICHMOND—House Minority Leader Gerald R. Ford (R.-Mich.) said here yesterday there is “better than a 50-50 chance” that the 1968 presidential election will be thrown into the House of Representatives because of the third-party candidacy of former Alabama Governor George C. Wallace.

Speaking at a press conference on the eve of the Virginia Republican Convention, Ford said he believed Wallace might well win up to 60 electoral votes in the Deep South, which could be enough to deny either the Republican or Democratic candidate a 270-vote majority in the Electoral College.

“I counsel good voters not to throw away their vote” on a third party candidate, Ford said. He added that it would be “far better if ‘the people rather than the politicians’” select the next President.

Ford noted that each state would cast one vote if the race were decided in the House. He said that in the 50 state House delegations, Democrats hold the majority in 29, Republicans in 18 and that in three the delegations are deadlocked.

He said that Virginia, where Democrats now have a 6-to-4 majority of the delegation, is “ripe” for GOP Congressional gains.

Asked which party might lose the most votes to Wallace, Ford said the Alabamaian would cut into GOP strength in conservative areas, especially in the South, but that in Northern cities the Democrats might lose more votes.

Ford said he was being “very neutral” in the GOP presidential contest, and said of the Democratic presidential race, “I don’t think it makes one bit of difference” who is nominated.

He attacked the record of what he called the Democratic “Johnson—Humphrey —Kennedy— McCarthy” Administration.

Sen. Thruston B. Morton (R-Ky.), who was here yesterday to boost the candidacy of New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller, said he believes there is the possibility, “the greatest” in the last 100 years, that the presidential election will be thrown into the House.

Morton said Wallace could carry Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, Louisiana and Georgia and could pick up more votes in the border state and in Northern cities.

Morton said of the Rockefeller campaign, “I’m not counting noses or twisting arms.” He just wanted to talk to delegates here about

the merits of “an open convention.”

Virginia will send 24 delegates to the GOP National Convention—two from each of the ten Congressional District conventions plus four at-large delegates who will be chosen Saturday.

The delegates will not be under a unit rule, but most, if not all, are expected to support Richard M. Nixon, at least on the first ballot.

Richard G. Kleindienst, national field director for the Nixon campaign, declared that if all the states were as pro-Nixon as Virginia, “we’d get 1300 delegates on the first ballot.”

Beware of Commitments, Ball Tells Senators

George W. Ball, U.S. ambassador-designate to the United Nations, told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee yesterday this Government should re-examine its role in Asia and "must be careful not to extend our power into areas where our interests are not paramount."

The former Under Secretary of State stressed, however, that he did not intend this to be a criticism of past U.S. policies.

He said the United States had to move into power vacuums created when Western

European nations retreated from former positions of global responsibility following World Wars I and II.

"I don't see it's a vacuum," Sen. J. William Fulbright (D-Ark.) disagreed. "We don't have to move into it, and we don't have to do it all ourselves."

Ball, 18, who told the committee he was "voluble" in voicing these and other views long before his appointment, was one of three diplomatic nominees appearing before the Senate unit yesterday.

The two others questioned were G. Mennen Williams, 56, former Governor of Michigan and Assistant Secretary of Staze for Africa who is now Ambassador-designate to the Philippines, and Frank E. McKinney, 42, Indianapolis, Ind., a banker who was Democratic national chairman from 1951 through 1953. The Committee is considering McKinney's nomination as Ambassador to Spain.

Fulbright told newsmen he knew of no opposition to any of the three.

All three of the nominees

testified they had divested themselves of business, financial and other dealings that might be a conflict of interest.

Asked about his attitude toward expansion or contraction of U.S. bases in Spain, McKinney said: "I do not think this is the propitious time to extend commitments anywhere in the world, but that ticket will have to be written by the Defense Department." He said he believes Spain should join NATO, although the Spanish Government is not now so disposed.

Agnew Cool
To Rocky,
Lauds Nixon

By Richard Homan
Washington Post Staff Writer

ANNAPOLIS, May 3—Maryland Gov. Spiro T. Agnew, long one of Nelson Rockefeller's strongest boosters, is thinking about switching his support to Richard M. Nixon.

Agnew, who will probably lead his State's delegation to the Republican National Convention as a favorite-son candidate, said today that "a lot has happened," in the months between Rockefeller's withdrawal from the race in March and his re-entry last week.

"I'm not a bit less enthusiastic for Gov. Rockefeller's candidacy but I'm much more enthusiastic for Mr. Nixon's candidacy than I was before," he told a press conference.

"This comes about because of what I consider to be a series of extremely astute, knowledgeable statements that Nixon has made not only on the racial situation with regard to private enterprise in the ghettos, but other statements he has made of a general nature."

Agnew, who organized a network of local and nationwide Draft Rockefeller groups last winter, was cool in his assessment of the New York Governor's week-old candidacy.

Asked his reaction to Rockefeller's announcement, Agnew said, "I think it is very

# Agnew Says He May Back Nixon Race

## AGNEW, From A1

good for the Republican party that we have two candidates."

He said Rockefeller "certainly is a highly qualified person and may very well provide a formidable candidacy for the election in November."

### "A New Ball Game"

He added, "I do think a lot of things have happened since his withdrawal on March 21, and I think it is a new ball game. I think I've got to take another look at the situation ... before I make a decision as to where I am going to try to throw whatever influence I have in this election."

Agnew refused to endorse either candidate today, citing the likelihood that he will lead Maryland's 26-vote delegation.

"I do have to consider that I am responsible for a delegation who have already indicated they desire to entrust me with a first-ballot consensus," he said. "So I've got to move cautiously in this area."

He acknowledged that "there is a possibility" he and the delegation, which will be

chosen June 8, would support Nixon.

A neutral stand by Agnew is a considerable shift from his original role as one of the strongest Rockefeller supporters among the Nation's governors.

### March Embarrassment

After his Draft Rockefeller activities, Agnew was stunned and embarrassed when Rockefeller announced on television in March that he would not be a candidate. Agnew had invited reporters and photographers to join him in watching

what he assumed would be an announcement of candidacy.

Rockefeller then asked that the volunteer organizations be disbanded. When a new campaign organization was formed recently, Agnew was asked to serve but declined.

After Rockefeller's withdrawal, Agnew told reporters "this obviously weakens him as a candidate." He met with Nixon in New York a few days later, but said no commitments of support were made or asked.

In recent weeks, there has

been a noticeable shift toward Nixon among Maryland Republicans with Rep. Rogers C. B. Morton (R-Md.) attempting to win convention support for him.

### View Approved

Among Nixon's recent statements that he said he liked, Agnew singled out a suggestion by the former Vice President that the development of "black capitalism" is the way to break "the cycle of despondency" among American Negroes.

Last month Agnew took a hard line against militant Negro activities when he called Negro moderates to a meeting after the Baltimore riots and scolded them for failing to repudiate inflammatory statement by black extremists. Most walked out, but his lecture won broad support from white Marylanders.

Agnew's stand on Vietnam has been hawkish and more in line with Nixon than with Rockefeller who said this week he would be satisfied with a negotiated settlement short of a military victory.

# Long-Haired GI, 19 Is Problem for Army

FT. LEWIS, Wash., May 3 (AP)—A 19-year-old who started basic training this week sports a full beard, a mustache and hair which would hang to his waist if it weren't bundled atop his head.

He is Pvt. Baldev Singh Purcell of Fresno, Calif., a native of India whose Sikh religion forbids the cutting of hair and requires the wearing of a turban. The Army agreed, but

said Pvt. Purewall will have to wear a steel helmet over his turban when necessary.

Games Germans Play 1968
MAY 4

The new East German restrictions on West German officials' land access to Berlin are irritating but not necessarily serious. They are part of the diplomatic games Germans play. West Germany dispatches its officials to and from Berlin to assert its claim that the city is a constituent state. East Germany harasses those same officials to deny that same claim. In one sense, the Western Allies are on the East's side: they do not regard Berlin as a German state but as separate territory subject to Allied-Soviet occupation agreements. In a more substantial sense, of course, the Allies back Bonn. They have together protested the new access restrictions—on the basis of Allied-Soviet occupation agreements.

The latest sequence does not make a crisis. It is a ripple that the countries on both sides have learned to live with over a long period of time. Given the inability of East and West to resolve the division of Germany by diplomacy, recurrent tension over Berlin may be a reasonable and bearable price to pay to maintain the status quo there. That tension has not kept West Germany, in the last few years, from conducting an energetic and positive policy toward the Eastern countries. Bonn's policy, by increasing the economic and social ties and the sense of normalcy between itself and the East, offers the best hope of an eventual end run around the obstruction symbolized in Berlin.

Rockefeller Expected To Join
GOP Presidential Race Today

PAGE ONE

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller is expected to declare his active candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination Tuesday at a news conference here.

Rockefeller has called an 11 a.m. (EDT) news conference at the Capitol to make an "announcement concerning his political plans," Leslie Slote, the governor's press secretary, said Monday.

The 59-year-old governor will step before newsmen less than six weeks after he said he would not be an active candidate for the GOP nomination.

Slote and other aides officially refused Monday to confirm reports that the governor would launch a full-scale drive for the nomination Tuesday.

Tuesday's appearance at the Red Room of the Executive Chamber will kick off a two-day national swing by the governor.

On Wednesday, Rockefeller is scheduled to address a World Affairs Committee luncheon in Philadelphia, where he has indicated he will speak out on the U.S. position in Vietnam.

Rockefeller's posture on Vietnam has generally been that he lacks the necessary information to make informed judgments on the war. However, he has assigned Harvard professor Henry Kissinger, who has advised him frequently on foreign affairs, to help him prepare a statement on the war.

The following day, Rockefeller will fly to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to address a Republican audience. Unconfirmed reports here say that he has arranged to meet with prospective delegates to the GOP nationalcon-

vention in an effort to enlist
their support.

Even as his office was refusing comment on the reports he would declare his active candidacy, Rockefeller was arranging to fly a full complement of newsmen to Iowa with him.

Aides played down the arrangements, presumably in an effort to avoid tipping the governor's hand.

Rockefeller's change of sentiment on becoming an active candidate was said to have been prompted principally by President Johnson's March 31 announcement in which he said he would neither seek nor accept renomination.

Political allies immediately began exerting pressure on Rockefeller to begin a vigorous campaign for the nomination.

Knowledgeable Albany administration sources said that the effort would culminate Tuesday in a Rockefeller declaration of candidacy, with a number of top Republican leaders from across the nation at his side.

The word was that Sen. Thruston B. Morton of Kentucky and former U.S. Reps. William E. Miller, the 1964 GOP vice presidential candidate, would be among the Republican figures joining Rockefeller at the news conference.

REPUBLICANS:

Ins and Outs

Last week Nelson Rockefeller said that he wanted to be President, predicted he could win, hired a special staff of policy advisers, gave his blessing to a new "Rockefeller for President" committee--and still insisted that he was not a candidate. "Availability is the way I put it," he hedged, "rather than inactive candidate. I have not pulled out. I just never got in."

In a year of surprise declarations and dramatic withdrawals, Rocky continued to hover in his own wispy political limbo, neither opting in nor dropping out. His aides scoffed that formal candidacy was, after all, just a matter of "semantics," that if Rockefeller were an official candidate, he would not do anything more than what he is doing now.

What he is doing is to begin his previously announced series of major policy statements (the first is this week, before the American Society of Newspaper Editors in Washington), to assemble a de facto campaign team (including Emmet John Hughes, who resigned as a NEWSWEEK columnist to become Rocky's chief of staff, and Harvard Prof. Henry Kissinger, who will advise on foreign policy), and to set loose a draft-Rockefeller committee under Kentucky Sen. Thrustron B. Morton, who promptly claimed that some twenty of the nation's 26 Republican governors supported their colleague from New York.

That seemed wildly optimistic to most GOP pols, and even Rockefeller insiders now rate Republican front-runner Richard Nixon a 2-to-1 favorite for the nomination. Rocky's fortunes, they feel, are tied to Robert Kennedy's. By this reasoning, if Kennedy emerges as the likely Democratic candidate, Bobbyphobic Republicans may rally to Rocky as the most effective candidate to stop RFK.

But many Republican moderates were clearly wondering how they could repair to a standard that had not even been raised, and last week Rockefeller allowed that he might just declare himself prior to the convention after all. It could be his only chance to be taken seriously. As one top GOP pro was heard to mutter after Rocky's latest pronouncement: "What if we did nominate him? How could we be sure he'd campaign?"

# Rocky Is 'On' Again

On-again, off-again Rocky is on again.

It appears that Governor Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller is not running for the GOP presidential nomination—harder than ever.

If you would take the Governor at his word—you shouldn't.

For a recap of what the New Yorker has been saying, we review his "maybe I will, maybe I won't" statements in the past six months:

Oct. 17, 1967—"I don't want to be President," said Nelson Rockefeller as he stood on the deck of the S.S. Independence.

Dec. 9, 1967—"If it (a draft) happens, I would have to face it." But, he added, he didn't know how he would face it.

Feb. 25, 1968—If a draft happened, "I'd accept it."

March 1, 1968—"My position is very clear. I am not a candidate and my position has not changed."

April 10, 1968—"I have said that I stood ready to answer to a true and meaningful call from the Republican party to serve it and the nation."

Meanwhile the Governor has hired a high-powered staff that includes Dr. Henry Kissinger of Harvard, Dr. Richard Nathan of Brookings Institute and writer John Emmett Hughes to help him formulate his policies on foreign and domestic problems.

Can a genuine draft be whipped up for Governor Rockefeller? Is he really working hard for the nomination? Will he ever say what he means?

Rockefeller Says
He's Assembling
Staff of Advisers

NEW YORK, N.Y. (AP)—
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
announced Tuesday that he
is assembling a staff of ad-
visers and researchers to help
him formulate positions on
the "great national and inter-
national issues before us."

He named four men and
said he is preparing to state
his policies on foreign and
domestic problems confront-
ing the United States.

In a statement issued by
his office, the governor said
"other expert advisers in spe-
cific fields" will be brought
into the staff.

The four named were Dr.
Henry Kissinger of Harvard
University; Dr. Richard Na-
than of the Brookings Insi-
tute; Oscar Reubhausen, a
New York City lawyer, and
John Emmett Hughes, writer.

Rockefeller announced
March 21 that he would not
be a candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for Presi-
dent. He said, however:

"I have said that I stood
ready to answer to any true
and meaningful call from the
Republican party to serve it
and the nation. I still so
stand. I would be derelict or
uncandid were I to say other-
wise."

Rocky for Sure

No other interpretation can be placed on Governor Rockefeller's recruitment of a research staff on domestic and foreign affairs than that he wants and intends to seek the Republican presidential nomination.

A public official does not hire speech writers and specialists unless he intends to move openly into a political campaign. The governor always has said that he was available for a draft at the Miami convention. But he also has insisted that he would not be an active candidate and that his speeches would be confined to clarification of key issues.

But hiring Emmet John Hughes, friend, consultant and speech drafter; Dr. Henry Kissinger of Harvard and Dr. Richard Nathan of the Brookings Institute goes far beyond the role of a man who wishes only to "clarify historic challenges before the nation and to help the Republican Party prove its capacity for leadership."

# O'Brien Likely To Quit PO Job, Aid RFK Drive

## NATIONAL SERVICE

WASHINGTON — Postmaster Gen Lawrence O'Brien, a chief engineer of the political victories of John F. Kennedy in 1960 and Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964, is about to resign his cabinet post to join the presidential campaign of Sen Robert F. Kennedy.

O'Brien officially has not submitted his resignation to President Johnson, and a spokesman for him says for the record that O'Brien "has not made any final decision."

BUT THE WORD is being passed that only formalities stand in the way of his departure from the Johnson team and his quick dispatch to Indiana, where Kennedy faces a tough primary fight May 7.

Kennedy himself resumed his campaign effort Tuesday night by flying into Indiana after attending the funeral in Atlanta of Dr Martin Luther King Jr.

# Rocky Hints He Knew of Feelers

By GENE SPAGNOLI

Gov. Rockefeller indicated yesterday that he was aware of recent negotiations that reportedly led to President Johnson's latest peace proposal.

One of his longtime advisers on foreign policy, Prof. Henry Kissinger of Harvard University, was reportedly a key figure for President Johnson in the behind-the-scenes maneuvering for peace talks.

Rockefeller was guarded in his comments on Vietnam, but the unmistakable impression he left in a brief chat at the Hotel Amer-

icana was that he knew of the secret peace efforts.

Rockefeller said the reason he had refrained from commenting on the war was not because of Kissinger's involvement in any hush-hush negotiations.

"Prof. Kissinger has been advising administrations since President Eisenhower's," he said, "but because of the fact that the negotiation was secret, I was not privileged to it."

When asked: "You were not aware of the negotiation?" he replied: "I was not privileged to what was taking place."

When a reporter then said

to him: "You didn't know of the negotiation?" the governor quickly corrected him, saying: "I didn't say that. I said I was not privileged to it. That involves the government."

Reminded that he was part of a government, he retorted: "Yes, state government. But that was the federal government."

Kissinger, who has been seeing Rockefeller more frequently in recent months, reportedly gave America's proposal to Herbert Marcovich, a French scientist who arranged for it to get to North Vietnam President Ho Chi Minh.

OUR OPINION

In The Wings

They may not actually be showing signs of anxiety but it's nevertheless rather apparent that both Nelson Rockefeller and Hubert Humphrey are pretty much in that state of mind about running for presidential nomination in their respective parties.

Governor Rockefeller has said he's available but describes himself as a non-active candidate, if it's possible to be such a thing.

There's no doubt about Vice President Humphrey's availability nor even that he is active, although quietly so, for the moment. He's reported to be in sort of a state of soul searching in the Caribbean presently, which properly translated means he is trying to ascertain at which time it would be most auspicious to announce and attempting to round up the necessary financing.

Both Rockefeller and Humphrey have to be considered long-shots in the races at this time, Hum-

phrey, it would seem, would have the better chance of success.

Rockefeller doesn't lack in popularity, nor as a matter of fact with persons of influence in politics such as the Republican governors and many in the business establishment who feels he has the better chance of eventual election—and are willing in all probability to back their hunches with large sums of money.

Rockefeller's problem, however, is that Nixon already controls so many convention delegates already and has the support of so many of the party hierarchy. Only a continuation and intensification of the feeling within the party that Nixon "can't win" could possibly bring Rockefeller a convention swell of nomination.

Humphrey has the more maneuverable position, what with Senators Kennedy and McCarthy facing a possible standoff in the delegates they can get. There is also the untapped delegate reserve that neither McCarthy and Kennedy can expect to pick up.

So two men wait in the wings and whether either or both succeeds is a question but it certainly is going to add spice to an already ding-dong political year.

Creating His Own Draft

And for a view of one of the candidates, here is what the Topeka State Journal has to say:

"New political straws are blowing in the draft being created by Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller as a non-candidate for the Republican presidential nomination.

"On March 21, the New York governor said he would not be an active candidate for the nomination, but that he would accept a draft if one developed between then and the GOP national convention Aug. 5 in Miami.

"It is more and more evident now Rockefeller has decided to seek the nomination, although indirectly, without entering any presidential primaries.

"A source close to the New York governor says Rockefeller has hired John Emmet Hughes, author and national political strategist, to run an unannounced campaign for the Republican nominations.

"One of the governor's closest advisers described Hughes' new position as Rockefeller's personal chief of staff for the campaign. He said the hiring seeks to place a 'renewed accent on his availability' for nomination.

"Further evidence that Rockefeller has not step-

ped completely aside from presidential political activity was his announcement he has hired three other expert advisers in specific fields. He said a small research staff already has begun work.

"Besides Hughes, others joining the research staff are Oscar Reubhausen, a Manhattan lawyer and close personal friend, who will direct the governor's staff; Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, a Harvard law professor who will advise on foreign affairs, and Dr. Richard Nathan, an expert on national economics who has worked in previous Republican campaigns.

"Hughes stands out as a writer and political tactician for former President Dwight D. Eisenhower and for Rockefeller, and emphasizes and restates Rockefeller's availability this year.

"The New York governor said it was his duty as a citizen, as a governor, and as head of the policy committee of the Republican Governors Assn. to state clearly his positions on the great national and international issues before the nation.

"A statement by Sen. Thruston Morton, R-Ky., a Rockefeller backer, that the governor would be more active in national politics appeared to win credence from reports that Republican governors and GOP native sons have enough votes corralled to prevent the nomination of Richard M. Nixon on the first ballot.

"The New York governor apparently isn't going to let Nixon in free."

Quest For Peace

# How Frenchmen Set
The Stage For Talks

By DAVID KRASLOW and STUART H. LOORY

Copyright 1968, Los Angeles Times

WASHINGTON — Two unheralded Frenchmen — one a microbiologist, the other an old friend of Ho Chi Minh — arrived last July 21 in Hanoi in the unusual and secret role of U. S. emissaries.

Their presence in the capital of North Vietnam was unknown to the world at that time, and has been unreported until this moment.

Yet it was their mission that opened a new phase of diplomacy in the Johnson administration's secret search for peace in Vietnam over the last three years.

The culmination came in Hanoi's dramatic announcement yesterday that it was willing to talk with American negotiators.

A month after their visit to Hanoi, the Frenchmen — working with Prof. Henry A. Kissinger of Harvard University — delivered to North Vietnam the first version of an American peace proposal that was more conciliatory than any made before.

President Johnson, announcing a partial halt in the bombing of North Vietnam Sunday, referred vaguely to the proposal they carried when he said:

"Tonight, I renew the offer I made last August."

Behind that little-noticed sentence was the secret work of Kissinger, a mystery man in Vietnam diplomacy; Dr. Herbert Marcovich, 47, a University of Paris microbiologist, and Raymond Aubrac, 53, a director of the Food and

the beleagured stronghold.

* This was the biggest offensive in the far north of South Vietnam in nearly a year. The objective was to open a supply road to Khe Sanh. Less than two weeks ago, the North Vietnamese had pushed encircling trenches to within 100 yards of the sand-bagged fortress.

* In the air war, the U. S. command said warplanes again hit objectives in North Vietnam's panhandle, which remained a target area under Johnson's bombing curtailment.

## LBJ - HHH - RFK

President Johnson met back-to-back yesterday with Vice President Hubert Humphrey and Sen. Robert Kennedy. The two meetings were separate and the White House had virtually nothing to say about either one. It indicated it would keep silence.

* At first, White House Secretary George Christian gave no details of the meetings except the times. Later he said both conferences involved discussions of Johnson's non-candidacy speech, its implications and the decisions announced.

* Christian reported Johnson wanted to make sure Kennedy and Humphrey knew his position, that he was providing no endorsements but would retain an option to speak up later.

## The Political Trail

AFL-CIO President George Meany announced yesterday his unions' endorsement of Vice President Hubert Humphrey as the Democratic presidential nominee. It was the first time the giant labor organization ever endorsed a candidate without ratification by its membership.

* Humphrey's endorsement was viewed as a blow to the candidacies of Sen. Kennedy and Sen. McCarthy and lent strength to the rumors in Washington that the Vice President would announce his candidacy soon. It was pointed out that Meany is a close friend of President Johnson and that he was likely to have had support from the President in the decision.

* The campaign of Richard Nixon will be throttled back until the extraordinary political and diplomatic events of the last 72 hours can be sorted out. This was the view of persons close to his campaign last night. The Nixon camp had no statement on the prospect of peace talks between Washington and Hanoi. Nixon had indicated Tuesday he believed there were secret exchanges between the two capitols prior to the President's Sunday night speech.

# Rocky Recruits Old Staffers

By EMMET N. O'BRIEN

Gannett News Service

ALBANY—Governor Rockefeller pried open the door to the presidential race today when he began recruiting his old time research staff.

Under the pressure of "making known" his position on key issues, as he promised, he announced that Emmet John Hughes, the pundit, was "immediately joining my personal staff."

Hughes, who is taking a leave of absence from Newsweek, where he is a weekly columnist, worked for Rockefeller in prior campaigns, and was a speech writer consultant to President Eisenhower. He also has a deep background in foreign affairs.

Rockefeller, who reiterated his non-candidacy last month, but left the way open for a draft, is preparing a series of pronouncements on foreign and domestic issues. He will speak as chairman of the policy committee of the Republican Governors Assn., "as a governor, and as a citizen."

In addition to Hughes, Rockefeller said "a small research staff" is beginning work under the direction of Oscar Reub-

hausen, an old friend and trouble shooter for the governor.

On that staff is Dr. Henry Kissinger, a foreign affairs specialist, from Harvard, who has been working with the governor previously, and Dr. Richard Nathan, of Brookings Institute, Washington, a onetime staff member for Court of Appeals Judge Kenneth B. Keating when he was a U. S. Senator. He will handle domestic affairs.

"They will be assisted by other expert advisers in specific fields," Rockefeller added.

'Available' Rocky Boosts Staff

NEW YORK (AP) — Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller has hired Emmet Johnson Hughes, the writer and political strategist, and three other advisers to help him formulate positions on na-

tional and international issues.

The move announced in a statement Tuesday was viewed by many political observers as accenting Rockefeller's availa-

bility for the Republican presi-
dential nomination.

Rockefeller announced March
21 that he would not be an ac-
tive candidate for the GOP nom-
ination but said that he would
accept a draft if one developed
and meanwhile would speak out
on the issues.

In the statement issued by his
office, the governor said he is
preparing to state his policies
on foreign and domestic prob-
lems confronting the United
States.

Others Named

In addition to Hughes, those
named to advise him were Hen-
ry Kissinger of Harvard Univer-
sity, Richard Nathan of the
Brookings Institute and Oscar
Reubhausen, a New York City
lawyer.

He said they would be aided
by "other expert advisers in
specific fields" and "a small re-
search staff" already at work.

The statement said in part:

"Our nation is enduring—as I
said a fortnight ago—'a time of
crisis and confusion probably
without parallel in our history.'
The tragic events of recent days
makes this obvious truth more
plain than ever.

"This truth imposes on every
Americvan—and especially evy-
eryone in public life—a special

duty to know his responsibility
and to speak his mind.

"I have promised to make known—to state clearly and fully—my own positions on the great national and international issues before us. As a citizen, as a governor, and as the head of the policy committee of the Republican Governors Association, this is my duty and my commitment."

Major Speech Due

A staff member said Rocke-
feller would discuss either the
Vietnam war or the racial crisis
in the cities in "a major
speech" being prepared for his
appearance before the Ameri-
can Society of Newspaper Edi-
tors in Washington April 18.

hower's staff in 1952, 1953 and
1956, was named Rockefeller's
"special assistant" to aid in the
"broad work of formulating and
discussing polities and pro-
grams in the months ahead."

The statement said Kissinger
will work in the field of foreign
affairs and Nathan on questions
of domestic policy. Reubhausen
will act as director of the staff.

Rockefeller was in Atlanta at-
tending the funeral of Dr. Mar-
tin Luther King Jr. when the
statement was issued.

Rocky Whips Up a Draft

There were expressions of dis-
appointment among the loyal suppor-
ters of Gov. Nelson Rockefeller on
March 21 when the New York gover-
nor all but closed the door on his
presidential ambitions. He did not
want to run for president, he said, be-
cause he did not want to split the Re-
publican party as the Democratic par-
ty had been split. He felt that a di-
rect confrontation with Richard M.
Nixon in the primaries would serve
no useful purpose.

But if a grass-roots draft should de-
velop by the time of the Republican
National convention in Florida, Aug.
5, Rockefeller said he would accept
the nomination.

Gov. Rockefeller is apparently al-
ready beginning to feel the winds of a
"Draft Rocky" campaign — and the
Rockefeller strategy to avoid a bruis-
ing fight with Nixon, or anyone else,
is winning new respect from many
professional politicians. The governor
has hired as his "personal chief of

staff," Emmet John Hughes, the emi-
nent writer and political strategist
who was so prominent in helping
Dwight D. Eisenhower win the presi-
dency in 1952.

He has been building up a staff of
experts, too — experts that seem
strangely out of place in the Albany
office of a man who is not running for
president. There is Jonathan Moore,
who was Gov. George Romney's ex-
pert on the Far East, and the son of
Charles F. Moore Jr., a retired Ford
vice president who was Rockefeller's
deputy campaign manager in 1964.
Rockefeller has also hired Dr. Henry
A. Kissinger of Harvard, a foreign-af-
fairs expert; Dr. Richard Nathan, an
economist, and Oscar Reubhausen, a
lawyer, to head his research staff.

If this "draft" keeps up, it is just
possible that Nelson Rockefeller will
decide to run for President after all.
As for Nixon, he has lost his principal
target, Lyndon B. Johnson, and now
must cope with the shadowy form of
the noncandidate Rockefeller.
