Rockefeller reaffirmed his support for Michigan Governor George Romney for the Re publican presidential nomination recently hut said he would hack Richard Nixon if Nixon should be named the GOP .standard hearer against President Johnson. At the same time, Rockefeller told a radio-TV panel he "had no desire” to become personally involved in the race for the Re publican nomination and said he believed that party unity was essential. He commented in the wake of polls that show him as the Re publican with the best chance of heating Johnson next November. Under questioning, Rockefeller said that “only as a last resort” would he agree to he the favorite son candidate for New York’s 92 member delegation to the Republican national convention. WASHINGTON—Lawyers for Senator Eugene McCarthy (D Minn ), asked the Federal Communication Commission Wednesday to order the three major networks to give him equal time to reply to statements made by President Johnson in an interview broadcast Dec. 19. The three networks ABC. NBC, CBS—have refused to grant McCarthy equal time, saying he would be entitled to it only if Johnson were formally a candidate for re-election; and the net works say Johnson is not such a candidate. In direct reply to that McCarthy contends Johnson is an "obvious” candidate, and argues that a different finding by the FCC would amount to knuckling under to presidential power.

McCarthy also wants to give his views on the Vietnam war which are opposed to Johnson's. SAI.EM—House Speaker F. F. Montgomery said this week there is no devious reason behind the fact that he is not a member of the Oregon committee to draft Governor Nelson Rocke feller of New York for the Republican presidential nomination.

There have been reports that Montgomery advised Rockefeller to stay out of the Oregon primary. “1 have not given such advice. 1 have not talked to him about It, because 1 respect his word that he does not intend to be come a candidate," Montgomery said lie also said the Draft Rockefeller Committee has not approached him. » * * CHICAGO—The Democrats issued the call for their 1968 national convention Monday amid predictions of victory and bids for party loyalty and unity.

Bailey, alluding to Minnesota Senator Eugene McCarthy's entry into the presidential campaign said: “So far, all the talk has been about splits in the Democratic party. But let me tell you something. Before they get a nominee next August, there will be so many rips and tears in the Republican .party, it will look like one of those mesh stockings the girls wear with their mini-skirts.” "We know who our nominees will be,” Bailey said.

Nixon said Monday night the United States can expect racial "war in the streets” next summer. ‘ The former vice president told 800 persons at a Boy Scout fund raising dinner that “radicals are presently planing the destruc tion of public facilities and the bringing of great cities to their knees.” At a news conference later, Nixon said he based the warning on “investigations that have been made and reports on these investigations . . • * * * BEAVERTON—House Speaker F.
