James Marlow Most Puzzling Republican Of 1960 Is Rockefeller WASHINGTON (AP)-The most puzzling Republican of 1960 is still New York Gov. Nelson A. Rocke feller. He dropped his bid for the Re publican presidential nomination last December because, he said, the party bosses didn't want him. Apparently they still don't, hut a few weeks ago he edged back into the picture by saying he's available. While he's willing to he drafted least to the point of buying his ideas for the platform or Riving him the presidential nomination. He has been a goad to the par ty, perhaps an embarrassment, with his proposals and his criti cisms. His only purpose may have been to try to have a liberalizing effect. Or perhaps he was think ing ahead. If he's not on this year's ticket and it loses. Rockefeller has laid the groundwork for what might but the barriers also keep most white voters away from the polls . eu..erK.T in m-r ,. ..,.., !

The position was taken that consumers are beinjr de ceived bv ficticious pricinp, bait advertising, improper la beling, undisclosed finance charges, lack of frrade labeling. Mrs. Ncuberger is quoted as saying that "Consumers deserve a better break from producers, distributors and retailers, and they deserve more effective representation in government." I The editorial points up what I expect to be one of the major issues between Mrs. Neuberger and her Republican opponent, former Gov. Elmo Smith, at this fall's general elpction. Mrs. Neuberger has indicated a far left stand on politi cal philosophies. She is promoting programs initiated by her late husband and is going still further with proposals for "nursing" the public. Controls Questionable ; Mrs. Neuberger unquestionably is a "smart girl," as described by Editor Leedom. He calls attention to the fact that some people said Rhe was a better politician than her husband when they were being plugged as a man and wife tdam. ; There also are some who believe that Maurine Neu berger is the political product of her husband's pen; that he was the author and schemer of her political successes and that his marvelous ability for publicity and his penchant for political strategy made her what she is. One of Dick Neuberger's schemes for attracting favor able attention was to "propose" something for the "poor and downtrodden. He constantly was proposing legis- lation in line with the cradle-to-the-grave security offered by the socialistic philosophy. Seldom, however, did he get beyond the "proposing" Rtage. Now Mrs. Neuberger is "proposing" a Department of Consumers. Consequently she is appealing for support from everyone who buys. She indicates that people are being robbed right and left. That producers, distributors and retailers are jacking up prices and seeking to deceive the buying public. . That, it seems to me, is a fine appeal for votes, but I question that any controls, such as she proposes, are ci ther necessary or advisable.

Competition will keep prices at the lowest, level consistent with costs and quality. ; It is true that some consumers will be misled into buy ing shoddy goods for a higher price than value justifies. We also recall how people "fell" for rugs that allegedly were Stolen from European castles and smuggled into the country to be "sold for a song." They went like hotcakes tp gullible people. And we'll always have gullible people. But people who buy nationally advertised goods from reliable merchants merchants seeking to maintain es tablished reputations have no need to be "nursed" by a federal agency an agency which, at taxpayer expense, probably would cost the public as much as consumers waste in poor buying practices. In any event, Mrs. Neuberger's proposal points up what I expect to. be a major campaign issue the issue between continued socialistic proposals for spending, regimentation. regulation, as compared with a conservative policy of free enterprise ana iree competition.

When he expressed his liberal views before the party's Platform Committee in Chicago this week, he got mild applause. But there was an ovation for Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona, spokesman for the party's extreme right wing. Rockefeller said he will cam paign actively for the party and the ticket. But at the same time he said he may publicly disagree with official party doctrine dur ing the campaign. At a time when Republican big wigs seem to yearn for unity, he has been a constant irritant by criticizing both the Eisenhower administration and Vice President Richard M. Nixon, who seems a sure shot for the presidential nomination. Yet in Chicago this week some observers thought they detected some softening in his differences with the administration and Nixon which would seem to he neces sary if he's going to campaign for the ticket at all. Whether this is so and, if it is, whether Rockefeller is seeking some kind of reconciliation with the more conservative elements of the party still isn't clear. But one thing seems to be obvious: In the November elections the difference between a national Re publican victory or defeat may be the difference between carrying New York or losing it. The party will be in tough shape if Rocke feller should sit on his hands. Nevertheless, the party bosses have shown few signs of en thusiasm for the governor, at ing No. 2 man on the ticket head ed by Nixon, the vice president seemed to be taking him at his word. Then the Democrats came up with their North-South combina tion of Sens. John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B.
