Pressure On For
Rockey To Run
NEW YORK (UPD—Gov Nel
son A. Rockefeller today begins
a series of crucial conferences
with political advisers before
announcing a decision on the
recommendation of a Republi
can summit meeting that he
should become "an announced
and active candidate” for the
GOP presidential nomination.
The governor was flying this
morning to Albany, the state
capital, where he is expected to
confer with aides and party
leaders. A spokesman said he
"might have some comment”
after the talks.
Nearly three dozen influential
Republican moderates, includ
ing seven other governors and
three senators, and a key
Goldwater conservative met in
Rockefeller’s Fifth Avenue
apartment Sunday to discuss
"the course a united party
should take in offering the
country new leadership and new
direction.”

Member F. D. I. C.
of the meeting said "there was
a very strong sentiment that
Gov. Rockefeller should get into
the race for the Republican
nomination for the presidency
as an announced and active
candidate.”
Most of the Republican
leaders attending the meeting
were known Rockefeller suppor
ters, but there was a new face
in the lineup—former Rep.
William E. Miller of Lockport,
N.Y., who was Barry Goldwa
ter's running mate on the 1964
ticket Rockefeller refused to
endorse.
Miller said he would support
the governor against former
Vice President Richard M.
Nixon, the only major figure
now in the running for the GOP
nomination.
"On his record, Gov. Rocke
feller has proven to be a great
vote-getter among a greater
cross section of Americans,”
Miller said.
Nixon was not invited to the
summit session, although he has
an apartment in the building
where it was held. Soon after
the meeting convened, the
former vice president left for
New Hampshire to wind up his
campaign for Tuesday’s pres
idential primary.
In Manchester, N.H., Sunday
night, Nixon said he would react
to a possible Rockefeller
challenge just as he did to the
candidacy of Michigan Gov.
George Romney, who withdrew
from the nomination campaign
10 days ago. Nixon has avoided
personalities in his speeches,
discussing Issues and especially
Johnson administration policies.
“If he (Rockefeller) becomes
a candidate, I will pledge with
him that I will not campaign
against him any more than I
did against Governor Romney,”
Nixon said. “I do understand
some reports from that meeting
Indicate Governor Rockefeller
may be closer to becoming a
candidate than he was previous
ly.”
Five congressmen and a
number of New York State GOP
leaders also attended the
Rockefeller meeting.

Nixon Raps
Cuts At LBJ
Patriotism
By MILTON BENJAMIN
NASHUA, N.H. (UPD—Rich
ard M. Nixon, chiding suppor
ters of President Johnson for
attacking the “patriotism” of
Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy, today
wound up his New Hampshire
primary campaign.
The former vice president,
without mentioning President
Johnson’s supporters by name,
scolded them Sunday night for
casting dispersions on Mc-
Carthy’s peace candidacy.
The statement against the
Minnesota Democrat was made
by Gov. John W. King,
cochairman of the Johnson
campaign, who said Thursday
that a significant vote for
McCarthy in Tuesday’s primary
would be greeted “by cheers in
Hanoi.”
Nixon, addressing a large
audience at Rivier College, said
he thought the Democrats had
“let the campaign head down to
personalities.”
"All of the candidates, I say
this about myself and I say it
about those who oppose me, are
for peace," Nixon said. "We
may disagree as to how we can
accomplish this, but we are for
it.
"All of the candidates are
patriotic Americans. And all of
the candidates deserve a
respectful hearing.
“If we happen to disagree
with them, let’s disagree
without attacking them on their
patriotism and on their love of
country,” Nixon said.
“I realize that there are going
to be very strong feelings in
this campaign—because the
issues are ones that tear at the
very soul of America.
"But I pledge to you that as
one of the candidates, I’m going
to talk about the issues and not
about the men,” he said.
Nixon, who has been virtually
without Republican opposition
since Michigan Gov. George
Romney's withdrawal from the
presidential picture, has been
faced with the problems of
maintaining enthusiasm among
his supporters.
In an effort to turn out a big
vote in Tuesday’s primary, he
has been telling audiences the
nation will be comparing New
Hampshire totals with that of
President Johnson.
Nixon was visiting campaign
headquarters in Nashua, Con
cord, Dover, Exeter and Manch
ester today in a final effort to
get out the vote. Die former
vice president will spend
election night in his New York
campaign headquarters.

Nixon Jousts with Shadows
Os Nonexistent N.H. Foes
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
NEA Washington Correspondent
MANCHESTER, N.H. (NEA)
Unreality hangs over the New Hampshire primary cam
paign in these final days, as front-running Richard Nixon
spars with shadows and tries to infuse them with the lifeblood
of heavyweight contenders.
Needing a smashing victory over genuine competition to
prove for the first time since 1950 that he can win on his own,
he was, of course, stunned at the withdrawal of faltering rival
George Romney, governor of Michigan.
The day Romney pulled out, a Nixon associate said flatly
that no progress was being made here by the maverick dele
gate slate and accompanying write-in effort for New York
Gov. Nelson Rockefeller—an effort then and now totally dis
approved by Rockefeller himself.
One day later, and again the following day, Nixon in his
search for necessary substitute competition sought to pump
up the unauthorized Rockefeller write-in and to represent it
as a soaring threat posed by "massive” injections of Rocke
feller’s own money and men.
Furthermore, after his first excited flurry over a Rocke
feller write-in he said might get 35 per cent of the GOP pri
mary vote instead of the 8 to 10 per cent showing in the polls,
Nixon has dropped all talk of it.
He is trying, in the last hours of this campaign, to convert
the March 12 New Hampshire voting into the beginnings of a
plebiscite between himself and President Lyndon B. Johnson,
who will be represented here by a well-organized but very
heavy-handed Democratic write-in effort.
Curiously, the ghost of George Romney’s candidacy is on
stage with Nixon, perhaps more forcefully than was the
Michigan governor’s live candidacy, as the former vice presi
dent seeks to hack away at Johnson.
In his last futile efforts to close the vote chasm between
himself and Nixon, Romney was branding his opponent as a
"me-too” candidate, saying he simply echoed Johnson’s Viet
nam war policies.
Nixon was, in fact, taking a flint-hard line on the war—tell
ing responsive rallies that the United States should not seek
nor accept any solution to the conflict which had even the
slightest appearance of "rewarding aggression” initiated by
Hanoi and Peking in Vietnam.
Yet in a swift post-Romney tour of six New Hampshire
towns, Nixon sounded almost like a peace candidate. He dwelt
endlessly upon what he offered as the prototype “eight years
of Eisenhower peace” and unabashedly forecast that if elected
he would not only end the Vietnam war but assure another
eight years or more of peace.
The emphasis was very new—and symbolic of his last-gasp
effort to pad with visible meaning a primary from which the
stuffing has run out.
What meaning it really will have lies locked in the bosoms
of laconic New Hampshire voters who are said by some
observers to be confused and irritated at the lack of a clear
cut ballot choice. They might confirm heavily pro-Nixon polls,
but they also might stay home in droves or give unexpected
reward to unskilled Rockefeller’s forces.
