Romney Lays the Stigma
Os a Loser on Nixon
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
NEA Washington Correspondent
MANCHESTER, N.H. (NEA)
In a crucial catch-up effort, Michigan’s Gov. George Rom
ney and his managers are mounting a heavier and more
direct assault upon front running Richard Nixon whose effect
could be, among other things, to paint him as a loser.
Under present plans, the word itself will never be used as
the Romney forces try to pull back from an indicated big
vote deficit in the closing weeks of the New Hampshire pri
mary campaign.
But the message will be plain enough for all who read. New
Romney advertisements are designed to ask voters bluntly:
“Who has been a winner in the ’6os?’’
The answer, of course, is Romney—three times elected
governor with constantly enlarging margins. By unspoken
contrast, Nixon lost the presidency in 1960 and the California
governorship in 1962.
As the campaign moves to a climax, this contrast may be
sharpened by Romney strategists. It may be pointed out, for
instance, that in heavily Democratic Detroit Nixon in 1960 as
presidential nominee got just 23 per cent of the vote, while
Romney in his 1966 governorship race won some 40 per cent.
The decision to go this route is one of several key strategy
judgments made by Romney leaders in recent top level con
ferences here. They are concerned by poll indications and
others which suggest that an effectively campaigning Nixon
may be widening the gap over Romney.
Even without these freshly discouraging signs, some Rom
ney strategists have been wanting to draw the election
performance contrast between the governor and Nixon.
The reasoning is simple. They figure a critical 20 to 25 per
cent of Nixon’s indicated vote potential is soft, and that it is
soft because many New Hampshire voters doubt whether he
could beat President Johnson next November.
New Romney advertisements underscore that he, not the
Nixon nnmentioned in the ads, Is the man who has been gov
erning well in a big-city state during a period of the ’6os
marked by the greatest racial and general urban turbulence
in the nation’s history.
It is an effort at once to suggest Romney’s possible appeal
to the vote-rich cities of America and to turn at least part
way around the “experience” issue Nixon uses to emphasize
his foreign affairs background.
Already well out in the open is Romney’s attempt to hack
away at Nixon in the foreign affairs field.
■The move to try to identify Nixon’s basically hawkish Viet
nam views with President Johnson’s operating policies is,
obviously, an assault upon what is widely deemed to be the
former vice president’s area of greatest strength—foreign
affairs.
Yet it is another way of questioning Nixon’s electability.
New Hampshire voters are being encouraged to believe that
he has nothing new to offer and thus presents no real choice
for November. New Romney strategy calls for hitting this
theme even harder by suggesting that Nixon’s foreign policy
outlook is unchanged from the late 1940 s when he first at
tacked communism.

tTHE DOCTOR SAYS
Drug Combination
May Be More Effective
By WAYNE G. BRANDSTADT
Q—l am taking Rautrax N
Modified. Is there any more
effective drug for high blood
pressure? Does this drug have
any bad side effects?
A—Drugs derived from Rau
wolfia serpentina are among
the best remedies for hyper
tension. The drug you are
taking is one of the safest be
cause the addition of Nature
tin makes it possible to get the
desired effect with relatively
small doses but, as with all
powerful drugs, side effects
may occur. Any unusual symp
toms should be reported to
your doctor.
Q—ls it true that a pinch
(about y s of a teaspoonful) of
Epsom salt taken each day
will lower the blood pressure?
A— So small a dose would
have little effect, good or bad,
on the body. It Is not recom
mended in any dosage to lower
the blood pressure.
Q—l am taking Diurll for
high blood pressure.' Has it
any bad side effects? Does it
affect the hair?
A—Chlorothiazide (Diuril) is
primarily a diuretic. It should
not be taken by anyone who
has kidney or liver disease. If
you have a problem with your
hair, some other cause should
be sought.
Q—l have a slightly elevated
blood pressure and am taking
Kiupres. Has it any bad side
effects?
A—This is a combination of
chlorothiazide and reserpine
which is said to be more effec
tive than either drug alone. In
the recommended dosage, it
should not cause any side ef
fects.
Q—l have high blood pres
sure and am taking Mebaral
which keeps my pressure
around 160-90. I also take Pla
cidyl to help me sleep. Is it
harmful to take these drugs
continually?
A—Mebaral is a barbiturate.
Both drugs are habit-forming.
’ Q —l have high blood pres-
sure and am taking Aldoril.
b Will It bring my blood pres
j sure down? Could high blood
_ pressure affect my equilib
' rium?
A—This combination of me
’ zide is an effective remedy for
’ hypertension. A sudden rise or
’ fall in your blood pressure may
' cause a transient loss of equil
’ ibrium. More persistent loss
’ of balance is usually due to
' some disease of the inner ear,
L often associated with harden
ing of the arteries.
Q—l have high blood pres
sure and am taking Aldomet.
' Will it help me? What are its
side effects?
, A—Methyldopa (Aldomet) is
■ an effective blood pressure re
ducer. In too large a dosage it
may cause headache, weak
ness, dry mouth and light
’ headedness.
