Newspaper Page Texto 0 Conspiracy To Pry Nixon Off Republican Presidential Ticket Continues To Increase By LYLE C. WILSON , "Nixon is fully aware of the' desired running mate. And I was grooming Nixon, United Ptmi Corrscnnndsn ! r.1nt " sai'H Ttirhards. "to olant a f there have been manv public for biffaer things at li United Press Correspondent Washington U.P.) Events have contributed a dreadful realism to the old political say- ing a vice-president stands only -a heart beat distant from the White House. - When the vice - president is a young C a 1 i f o r nian named Rich ard M. Nixon that old saw) is likely to become a buzz saw. Nixon's friends were bitterly complaining long before Presi dent Eisenhower was stricken that an organized conspiracy 'sought to blast Nixon off the Republican ticket this year. Correspondent Robert W. Richards of the Copley papers wrote of it some days before Mr. Eisenhower became ill. Ljle C. Wilson 4-H Leaders Meeting Postponed OneWeek The Jackson county 4-H lead ers meeting scheduled for to night has been postponed until Jan. 10 pending the arrival of a new county 4-H agent, Miss Marjorie Hattan, Bonner Ferry, Ida. She is expected late ionight. Miss Hattan, who replaces Miss Jean Brooks, has spent the past two years as agent of Boundary cinty, with offices at Bonners Ferry. She is a grad uate of the University of Idaho. Next Tuesday's meeting is set for 7:30 p.m. at Bigham hall. Stockmen Directors Schedule Meeting A meeting of the Jackson County Stockmen's" association board of directors will be held at 8 p.m. today at the county agent's office in the courthouse. James C, Tiller Jr., is president. The group is expected to dis cuss the proposed soil bank pro gram and plan for the annual meeting. o FOOD SALE $7 dollar Hot Cakes for 35c and we give you real butter, maple syrup and coffee 51 THE Top Notch Craterian Theater Bldg. plot," said Richards, "to plant a series of derogatory stories about him . . . the claque goes back to the time when Nixon pressed the indictment and con viction of Alger Hiss, a New Deal State 'Department offi-i rial." More properly it goes back to Nixon's criticism of Democratic dealing with the Communist menace. 3 ' Double-Barrelled Campaign Richards said there also was resentment against Nixon for his efforts to pin the late Harry Dexter White as Soviet agent during White's service as a high treasury official in the Roose velt and Truman administra tions. Nixon's friends contend that the campaign against him has been stepped up since Mr. Eisenhower's illness, with twin objectives. First, prevent Nixon's nomi nation for president if the spot becomes open and, second, pry him off the ticket if Mr. Eisen hower runs again. And . that's where the old one about the presidential heartbeat can come up big in this year's Republican National Convention and head for a showdown in the Novem ber election. Nixon can count on powerful Eastern support for the presi dential nomination if Mr. Eisen hower steps down or for second place if the President 8 runs again. Former President Harry S. Truman, of Missouri, and Speaker Sam Hayburn, of Texas, are Democrats who " claim to dislike Nixon as much as any one could. But the East is the area of Nixon's greatest unpopularity, as any digest; of radio or edi torial comment would indicate. There is a real but apparently minority opposition to Nixon within the Republican Party na tionally.. His enemies appear to be concentrated among the Democrats and independent lib eral voters who usually go along with Democratic nominees. But the Republican opposition would show first. : Anti-Nixon Pressure . Mr. Eisenhower would be under pre-converstion pressure from within his own party and, perhaps from some of his White House associates to ditch Nixon. The argument will be that the independents would balk at putting Nixon only a heartbeat from the White House for another four years. How ever good may be campaign res olutions not to make Mr. Eisen hower's life expectancy an issued in the pre-conventicn or regular campaign periods, it is an issue bound to be a factor from now on, regardless of whom the vice presidential nominee might be. If Nixon is named again the Democrats scarcely will be able to avoid the temptation to make a play for the anti-Nixon inde pendents by pointing to the ob vious facts, however stark they may be. Mr. Eisenhower's intentions still are unknown. But, if he does run there is much evidence that he will want Nixon to run with him. He is on record as saying that a president nominee 1 should refuse to accept an un- And I was grooming Nixon, perhaps there have been many public for bigger things at least for statements indicating that hej another term as No. 2.
