I X Rockefeller Feeling No Draft in Windy City • By ROBERT K.*WALSH Star Staff Writer CHICAGO. July 20.—Fans of Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller have stirred up the breeziest pre-convention performance thus far at their Win-With-Rockefeller headquarters in a theater here. Despite their puffing and petitioning, however, their favor ite feels no strong draft. In fact, he did not walk, much 1 less run. to the Draft Rocke feller Committee center in the Blackstone Theater when he left the Republican Platform Committee hearing in the ad jacent Blackstone Hotel yester day. He explained he was “touched and appreciative" of such faith in bim. But he insisted he was not a candidate and had no connection with groups eager to make him one. However, the head of the na tional Draft Rockefeller Com mittee said today he is abso lutely confident the name of! Gov. Rockefeller will be placed in nomination for President at next week’s Republican na tional convention. William Brinton, chairman of the group, also told news men that a recent survey by a polling organization shows! Vice President Nixon—the ap paarent OOP nominee-to-be— is running far behind Senator Kennedy, the Democratic nom inee. in five key states. Mr. Brinton, 40, a crop haired, bespectacled San Fran cisco lawyer, thus tried to de rail the Nixon bandwagon at a news conference. A Nixon news headquarters opened about the same time but the whole attitude there was that the draft-Rockefelier movement wa* a minor matter. Gov. Rockefeller’s most en thusiastic supporters were talk ing in terms of collecting up wards of 300 votes on the first ballot. This claim had Vice president Nixon’s backers shak ing their heads in incredulous amazement. Leonard W.

No one. outside of a hand ful of Rockefeller enthusiasts, could fathom the mathematics, by which this Nixon total could be reduced below the 666 neede/i for the nomination by even the most vigorous sort of draft operation. . That did not keep Rocke feller supporters from way laying pedestrians to pin red, white and- blue “Win With Rockefeller for President” but tons on them and urge them to sign draft Rockefeller petl . tions. “Pick a Winner” The big and bold lettering on the theater marquee proclaims: 1 “Pick a Winner.” It names Gpv. | Rockefeller as the indispensable! Republican to beat the Ken-, nedy-Johnson Democratic tic ket. It was practically the first advertised attraction to greet early arrivals for the Republi can National Convention open ing next Monday. It nevertheless caused some thing of a thfs-is-where-I-1 came-in reaction among recent visitors to Los Angeles. They were still mindful of the huge “Win-With-Stevenson” banner that flapped all last week in the' breeze across from the headquarters hotel but had lit tle effect on the delegates. Mr. Brinton said that a sur vey of five states had been made after the Democratic na tional convention. He reported it was conducted by Political I • I ■ Analysis Associates Inc., of Princeton. N. J. He said it ! showed public opinion split up ;as follows: New York—Kennedy 51 per cent, Nixon 26, undecided 23; California Kennedy 49 per; cent, Nixon 32, undecided 10; Pennsylvania—Kennedy 50 per, cent, Nixon 29, undecided 21; i 1 Illinois—Kennedy 48 per cent;' Nixon 27, undecided 25, s(nd Texas—Kennedy 50, Nixon 27,' undecided 23. The “Win With Rockefeller”; i organization does not occupy the center of the stage, even at the Blackstone. It has taken over the premises while the! theater is “at liberty” but it' uses only the lobby and a few 1 offices upstairs. Switch Urged Its principal purpose is to persuade thousands of people, not merely to sign petitions for presentation to convention del egates and party leaders but to "call, contact and convince" Individual delegates to switch from Vice President Nixon to Gov. Rockefeller. “This is not an impractical or impossible Job,” said C. R. Mann of Chicago, one of the approximately 200 volunteer lobbists, who hope to put the Rockefeller show really on the road. I “We might, as well admit | that the Democratic coalition ticket is going to be hard to beat. We are convinced Gov. I Rockefeller is the man to beat 1 ft—and I mean Rockefeller for President.” ... | ' pSr Prices I REDUCED MILD AND MELLOW EIGHT O'CLOCK iib.

Quantity right, marveA Lodge, Morton Believed Leading for No. 2 Spot By J. A. O’LEARY ■tu «taS Wrttef CHICAGO, July 20.—Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts and Senator Thruston Morton of Kentucky appear to he the leading prospects for the Republican vice presidential nomination if G. O. P. leaders are unable to prevail upon Gov. Rockefeller of New York to become Richard Nixon’s running mate. For the moment Mr. Nixon’s spokesmen, here to get ready for the nominating convention next week, are saying that they have no choice but to accept Gov. Rockefeller’s repeated as sertion that he will not ac cept second place on the ticket. This is taken to mean they will not urge him to change his mind. But observers here are convinced that party leaders still see a Nixon-Rockefeller ticket as the strongest they could put together. It is also felt that these feed ers would be delighted by a spontaneous demand for Gov. Rockefeller for Vice President at the convention. No one doubts that Mr. Nixon would welcome him as a run ning mate if Gov. Rockefeller were to respond favorably to such a demand. Others Weighed But in the meantime, the Nixon lieutenants are weigh ing the assets of other poten tial running mates. And, according to reliable sources, in so doing they have placed the names of Mr. Lodge and Senator Morton at the top of the list. The question of who is best qualified to stand up to Pre mier Khrushchev is seen as a I key issue in the coming cam paign, and this weighs heavily in Mr. Lodge’s favor, partic ularly if the Republicans should ! decide to build their whole campaign around it. Mr. Nixon himself laid the groundwork for that theme, when millions of Americans saw him on their television sets, trading verbal blows 'with Pre mier Khrushchev, when the Vice President visited Moscow j last year. Former Senator Lodge like wise has made a name for himself as a defender of the free world against Communism ; in his present post as United States Ambassador to the U. N. Mr. Lodge also demonstrated ! his ability to deal with Mr. Khrushchev directly when he served as the official escort when the soviet Premier visited the United States last fall. Right Geographically The fact that he is a New Englander also makes him right geographically to be teamed up with Mr. Nixon, a Californian. On the debit side of the ledger is the fact that the last time Mr. Lodge ran for elective office in 1952. he was defeated for another term in the Senate by the man who now heads the. Democratic ticket, Senator Kennedy. Those who'propose Mr. Lodge, ■ however, are not counting on , ’ his ability to neutralize the < Kennedy strength in New Eng- • land, but to strengthen the - ticket nationally on the foreign ■ policy issue. ’ If the Republicans turn to i Senator Morton, it will be for • two reasons: First, because he s comes from a border State and ' might neutralize the appeal of ’ the Kennedy-Johnson ticket in the South. And second, because . he has an attractive personality j and would be a good cam paigner. > Anderson a Prospect Secretary of the Treasury Robert B. Anderson also is still , in the picture for second place, ,if Gov. Rockefeller finally convinces the G. O. P. leaders he has no Intention of running for Vice President. Although Mr. Anderson now lists himself as a resident of Greenwich, Conn., he was born and reared* in Texas and has had many important connec , tions in the Lone Star State, as a~ public official, lawyer and businessman. His selection would be de signed to offset the strength Senator Lyndon Johnson added ; to the Democratic ticket when he agreed to be Senator Ken . nedy's running mate. Secretary of the Interior Fred Seaton and Senators Keating of New York and Scott of I Pennsylvania are others whose » names are mentioned in con nection with the vice presi- > dential nomination. But old-timers, in scanning s the list, always come back to the conclusion that Gov. Rocke- ■ feller would be the ideal choice, • not only because of His na-l > tional following but also be , he could do more than anyone else to deliver New York’s 45 electoral votes. Sen- • ator Kennedy is likely to prove ’ a strong opponent in New York. : in view of the chance he has of | i being indorsed by the Liberal I Party there. i . >| Viet Nam Delegation i Leaves on U. S.
