George Romney, who used to be one himself, appar ently has won the hearts of some leading businessmen in his role as a political figure. Romney, former president oi American Motors, drew an emo tional and enthusiastic response Wednesday when he addressed business leaders at the annual U. S. Chamber of Commerce meet hip. The reception added more lus tre to his chances of becoming the GOP presidential nominee in 1964, although Romney has dis claimed any candidacy for the White House. Gets Standing Ovation The dapper, animated Republi can won a standing ovation from the delegates. They appeared cap tivated as much by his political style as his message. Romney warned them against using politics as an instrument of economic power. He urged the formation of a political party that would have true citizen appeal, with enough independence to tell big business or big labor where to go if either got pushy. The talk in the hotel lobby and cocktail bars afterwards suggest ed that Romney's speech was the highlight of the chamber's three- day meeting here. I m still not sure I understand everything he says," was the typical comment, "but I like the way he says it. He s my kind of candidate. Faith In Individual Romney cot most of the cheers when he talked about reversing the trend toward what he termed federalization.' He urged less reliance on fed' eral government and more faith in individual initiative an argument that has been more or less the battle cry of this year's chamber convention.
