A-16 THE EVENING STAR Wethington, D. C., Thunder, Merch 31, 1960 Rockefeller Expected To Resist No. 2 Spot By CECIL HOLLAND h Bt*r SUIT Writer 1 ( One of New York Gov. Nel-' •on A. Rockefeller's strongest 1 congressional supporters snort- ' ed: t ‘•He’s not going to be talked into it!” h That was the reaction of New i York Representative Wain wright to pressure being exerted on Gov. Rockefeller to accept second place on the Republican presidential ticket With Vice President Nixon. Mr. Wainwright said he was sure the Governor would stand by a decision he announced last tieceinber in taking himself out of a contest with Mr. Nixon for the presidential nomination. At the time he said he would not accept second place on the ticket. Political speculation about Gov. Rockefeller and a need for him on the Republican ticket has reappeared in recent weeks. It was heightened by President Eisenhower’s press conference remarks yesterday that the New York Governor would be acceptable to him as the party's vice presidential candidate. ' Indication of Concern While the President qualified his indorsement of Gov. Rocke feller by saying that many ethers also would be acceptable, his remarks underscored the Concern that has been ex pressed privately in Republican circles for several weeks over Mr. Nixon's chances of winning j the election. Just why this concern should have developed among Repub licans is not clear. But one thing that seems to have fig ured in it is the Vice Presi dent's declining popularity as measured by polls of public preference. One such poll was that of Louis H. Bean, credited with forecasting President Truman's 1948 victory, who reported that, as of now, Adlai E. Stevenson would get 54 per cent to Mr. Nixon's 46 per cent of the vote. Discussed for Some Time But even before the results of this and other polls were published, and much before the President’s comments, these was discussion in Republican circles here about the need for Gov. Rockefeller on the ticket. The talk seemed to be due in part to the Vice President s pre-convention strategy his failure to set up any organiza tion which would bind together various elements of the party and permit consultation on a broad basis. Mr. Nixon is unopposed on the Republican side in the April 6 Wisconsin primary, but the Democratic battle between Sen ators Kennedy of Massachu setts and Humphrey of Minne kota is reported to be drawing the votes of many State Re publicans. ! One Republican source said the Vice President may poll no inore than 35 per cent of the primary vote. If that’s the case, It was added, the Vice Presi flent is indeed in serious trou ble." This view, it should be added, is not accepted at all by the Nixon camp. Favor Place on Ticket As for Gov. Rockefeller's being on the ticket, nearly all Re publicans would like to see this come to pass. But very few expect it will—least of all the strong Rockefeller supporters who want their man to have the presidential nomination now or later. The reported move by former New York Gov. Thomas E. Dewey to sponsor a draft of Gov. Rockefeller for sec- I ond place on the ticket with Mr. Nixon has found no strong outward support among Capitol Hill Republicans. One Repub lican leader said this was the wrong approach and one that is sure to meet with a chilly re ception in Albany.

Mar. 31 (AP).I —Senator Humphrey of Minne sota took a critical look at the Nation and the world today. IHe said America is in dire > need of leadership to arouse it! from “a deep and all but dreamless slumber.” Senators Humphrey and Kennedy of Massachusetts are 'the two Democratic candidates in Wisconsin’s presidential pri mary Tuseday. They took separate paths today for a tour of Milwaukee and its ( metropolitan area. “If we are unwilling to make ‘ history, others will write it for us,” Senator Humphrey said Jin a speech prepared for de . livery at the University of Wis , consin-Milwaukee. “Yet we have the capacity for greatness. What we lack is the leadership to arouse us. The challenge in American political life today is to offer such leadership.” Senator Humphrey said that I the most important step for the Government to take “is to i know what we want and where ■fwe are going.” He said the 1 t present administration has too ] i often been like Christopher 1 ; Columbus. ' 11 “When it sets out it doesn’t 1 ! know where it is going and : when it comes back it doesn’t j I know where it has been,” he , .said. ' •I In a short speech at Madison • : last night, Senator Humphrey j heralded the nuclear bomb j i test ban proposals announced i by the United States and Great | t Britain as taking “us on the ; high road toward a just and j enduring peace.” Senator Kennedy supporters i i yesterday took issue with a I 1 charge that his father, Joseph I P. Kennedy, contributed to a political campaign of Vice President Nixon when he ran for a Senate seat in California in 1950. Mayor Ivan A. Nestingen of Madison, chairman of the Kennedy-for-President Club of Wisconsin, said the charge was 1 “untrue that he (Kennedy’s I father) contributed to Vice i President Nixon’s campaigns.” 1 Mayor Nestingen said he talked with the Senator's i father and "he informed me 1 he has met Vice President i Nixon twice—he strongly sup ported President Roosevelt and 1 Presidential Candidate Adlai 1 Stevenson.” and not Mr. Nixon. 1 Federal Payroll i I Rises by 2,441 1 >7 Um Associated Press The total of Federal employes increased 2,441 in February 1 over the preceding month, - Senator Harry F. Byrd, Dem ocrat of Virginia, reported today. There were 2,331,883 persons on the Federal payroll last month compared with 2,329,442 in January, he said.
