Rocky's Blast At Nixon Brings
Chortles Of Joy From Democrats
WASHINGTON (AP)-Gov. Nel
son A. Rockefeller's blast at Vice
President Richard M. Nixon
brought chortles of joy today
from Democrats. From Nixon,
there was for the moment only
silence.
However, Nixon had two speech
es and a news conference sched
uled. Any of them could become
a forum, if Nixon so chose, for
a reply to the major challenge
flung by the New York governor.
And Republican members of
Congress from New York were re
ported to be preparing an indi
rect reply to the governor in the
form of a statement of support
for Nixon.
Congressional sources said the
Rockefeller-Nixon issue was dis
; cussed at a dinner meeting of
New York GOP members in hon
i or of one of the delegation who
is retiring from Congress, Rep.
Dean P. Taylor..,.., '. ...
f The majority of those jSresent,
who included some long-time Nix
on supporters, voted to draft and
issue today a statement support
ing the vice president, these
sources said.
Nixon had a talk with GOP
state chairmen here scheduled in
the early afternoon.
Later, he was to fly to Cam
den, N.J. He had a news con
ference scheduled there for 5
p.m. (EDT) preceding a long
planned speech at a dinner to
night honoring Rep. William T.
CahiU (R-NJ).
On the Democratic side, Sen.
Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, who
hopes for his party's presidential
nomination, commented that

will complement each other so as
to conserve resources, increase
load-carrying capabilities and
strengthen the firm energy struc
ture of British Columbia and the
Pacific Northwest states."

Rockefeller's attack on Nixon per
haps means that both party con
ventions "may be open after all."
"It looks like there is some life
in the old elephant yet," he
cracked.
When the 'Senate met, Sen. Wil
liam Proxmire (D-Wis) asked to
have the text of Rockefeller's
statement published in the Con
gressional Record. He told the
Senate:
"It is one of the most eloquent
and important statements issued
in this election campaign."
The draft-available Rockefeller
exploded a political bombshell
Wednesday when he criticized
Nixon and numerous administra
tion policies.

Activities Probe
Called Road Show
WASHINGTON (AP) The
House Committee on Un-Ameri
can Activities put on a coast-to
coast roadshow presenting the
same star witness in the same act
at each stop from 1956 to 1959, the
Knight newspapers said today.
The copyright story, final in a
series on spending by Congress
memDers and committees, says
the hearings accounted for some
of the spending by the un-American
activities group in those
years. It points out that the com
mittee has the fourth largest in
vestigative fund in the House this
year $327,000.
The authors, Don Oberdorfer
and Walter Pincus, wrote about
testimony by Irving fishman, dep
uty collector of customs at the
Port of New York, reporting that
he was paid 58 per diem plus ex
penses for 10 separate appear
ances at hearings in the years
covered by the story.
Fishman is in charge of inter
ception of mail from abroad
which the government believes is
pornographic or si political prop
aganda. In the hearings described in tlfe
story, a major feature of his ap
pearance consisted of breaking
the seals -on man Dags irom
abroad and producing publications
which he said contained propa
ganda. The article said the com
mittee treated the testimony on
each occasion as new and reveal
ing. The article said "at the time
Fishman was performing these
tasks for the committee, he was
also receiving his regular salary
as an official of the U. S. Cus
toms Bureau.
The article said that when staff
director Richard Arens was asked
about Fishman's testimony he re
plied: "This is not a repetition.
We are not putting on a show like
a juggler." "
California Demo
Delegation Split
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Call
fornia's Democratic delegation
one of the big question marks of
the presidential race, lined up
sharply split Thursday in their
choice for the Democratic nomi
nation.
The 102 half-vote delegates were
pledged to Gov. Edmund C. Brown
by virtue of his victory over pen
sion promoter George H. McLain
in Tuesday s presidential primary.

decided on its second choice after
Brown. Here is the breakdown:
Kennedy 20, Symington 15, Stev
enson 11, Johnson 6, Brown 1, un
committed or declined to state, 32.
Whether the remaining 77 dele
gates follow the same pattern will
have to await the group's first
caucus, tentatively set for June 18
in Sacramento, or the balloting
at the parly's national convention
in Los Angeles July 11.
Both Brown and vice president
Nixon, unopposed on the Republi
can ballot, drew more than one
million votes in the primary Tues
day. Nixon outpolled Brown by rough

Crank Prank Starts
Undertaker On Chase
Someone with a sense of (hu

wild headless man chase and gave
quite a shock to a Roseburg house
wife Wednesday afternoon.
An unidentified man called Glen
Yates at the Chapel of the Roses
about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday and
said, "Come to 915 SE Terrace
Ave. I have a. body and I don't
know what to do with it."
When Yates asked him what had
happened, the man replied, "Some
fellow came to the door and I just
chopped his. head off."
Yates, suspecting a prank but
not knowing for sure just what
was afoul, called the Roseburg po
lice before heading to the address.
When he arrived at 915 SE Ter
race, he asked the housewife, Mrs.
John LeDuc if there had just been
a death in the house. Mrs. LeDuc,
needless to say, was shocked at
such a question.
Yates explained the situation and
everything is solved but the name
of the caller.
