NeBson Rockefeller Beats IHIarriman WMi Malf -ilHon Vote Majority Albany, N.Y.- (LTD -Republican Nelson A. Rockefeller won New York's battle of the millionaires with more than half a million votes to spare today, unseating Democratic Gov. Averell Harriman. Rockefeller's stunning per sonal victory, in his first try for public office and in con trast to a Democratic tide across the nation, pushed him to the forefront of GOP presi dential possibilities for 1960. Elected with Rockefeller, by a much smaller margin was a new Republican U.S. sena tor, Rep. Kenneth B. Keating of Rochester, who will replace retiring Republican Irving M. Ives. Consolation for Demos The only consolation for Democrats in New York ap peared to be the election of two congressman' in upstate districts formerly held by Re publicans and the still-undecided race for state controller in which Harriman's running mate, incumbent . Controller Arthur Levitt, was leading af ter all other top ' spots had been conqeded to Republi cans.

Rockefeller cut heavily into the normally large Democrat tic majority in New York City, trailing Harriman by only about 200,000 votes. Har riman got about 57 per cent of the city vote, well short of the margin needed by most Democrats to overcome up state Republican votes. Keating ran far behind his Democratic opponenl, New York County District Attor ney Frank S. Hogan, in the city and won election by a margin of a little more than 100,000 votes. Rockefeller's victory bore similarities to Harriman's own election four years ago. Neither man previously had run for elective office. Both had inherited large fortunes, proved their own business ability in family enterprises and served in appointive posts in the federal government.

Since he is not running for any office this year, Morse is not required to file a personal report about money he re ceived or spent. A. E. Lyon, chairman of the Political League, said he did n't know why Morse was given the money. He said dis bursement of funds was handled by C. T. Anderson, the League's secretary - treas urer. Lyon said he didn't know where Anderson was but he thought he might be in Min nesota Monday. Lyon specu lated that the money was to help underwrite some of Morse's expenses as he travel ed about the campaign trail in Oregon this fall. Political Arm of Union Railway Labor's Political League is the political arm of the railroad unions. It was formed by the chief executives of the Railway Labor Execu tives Association, the lobbying arm of railroad labor. Lyon is head of the association as well. Lyon said the Political League raises money "to help its friends" in politics from voluntary contributions from railway workers or anyone else who wishes to contribute. He said he himself kicked in $100 last week. In the Pacific northwest, the Railway League gave money to candidates of both parties. Rep. Edith Green (D Ore.) received $500 for her campaign, the report showed, and Rep. Thomas Pelly (R Wash.) received $450 for his.

Potter out of office and left Michigan without a major GOP office holder. Williams, one of many can didates to take on new glitter as a 1960 presidential con tender, overwhelmed Paul D.

Matter of Policy The chief labor contributing group, the Committee on Po litical Education, AFL - CIO, said it gives funds only to candidates for office who have been endorsed by the AFL CIO. Asked whether it would ever give money to senators who aren't up for election but are out campaigning,.a spokes man said: "As a matter, of policy we don't do it. We don't support any traveling sena tors or representatives." The Machinists' Non-Parti-san Political League followed the same policy. A spokesman said "it's conceivable" that the machinists might have aided someone who was not running for office but he couldn't think of any in stances. He said they do pay expenses or gratuities for speaking engagements for their political friends at ma chinists' meetings. Morse's administrative as sistant, William Berg, said he didn't know what the money was for but would try to find out from the Railway League. duction of the Howard Teich- mann-George S.
