g MAIL TRIBUNE?, Meffor Or. Sunday. Dec 13, 19591 II Matter of Fact m 7.1. t 1 II V 1 WHAT ARE THE MINIMUMS? New York - In this poll sters' election, the little state of New Hampshire is likely to "T1 be poiied un- vl til it hurts. 4 i Vice President fJ Richard M, a poll there. The Nixon poll gratify- ingly showed 179 per cent Jph Aiaop of the New Hampshire Republican voters choosing Nixon for their par ty's Presidential candidate next year. At about the same time. New York's Gov. Nelson D. Rockefeller also ordered a poll In New Hampshire. Some what less gratifyingly, the Rockefeller poll was not very different from the Nixon poll. It showed over 70 per cent of the New Hampshire Re publicans choosing Nixon, and less than 30 per cent choosing Rockefeller. Some time soon, one can be certain there will be anoth . er Rockefeller poll. The Gov ernor wants the very latest, freshest information, sizzling hot from the voters' pulses, so to say, before he makes up his mind about entering the New Hampshire primary (the pri- . mary's fateful filing day is Jan. 8). TF Rockefeller then enters a -- slate of delegates, as one can now bet he will do, anoth er Nixon poll of New Hamp shire will promptly, ensue. It hag already been ordered, on the assumption that Rocke feller is already running hard for the Republican nomina tion. The Nixon orders specify a poll "in depth." So it will go, no dout, with poll follow ing poll, until primary day comes In late winter. By then, if any New Hampshire Re publican remains unpolled, he will have a right to feel insulted and write in a vote for Sen. Barry Goldwater, Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson, or some other ornament of his party. In this way, at least, the Republican problem of the New Hampshire primary is richly comic. In every other way, however, it is a deadly serious problem, for Governor Rockefeller's final decision on his candidacy will be given in New Hampshire. This is a decision more serious for all astute Republicans imagine. The reason for this extra seriousness of Rockefeller's decision is apparent if you study the habits of the man and the underlying facts of Jhia present situation. The Gov . ernor, in brief, is a warm cam paigner but a cool customer, who does not act on impulse or in a state of self-intoxication. HE IS such a lavish jioll taker because he wants facts to base his choices on. He is a bold gambler, as he proved when he entered the New York race when his polls there showed that 60 per cent of the customers favored form er Gov. Averell Harriman, against only 40 per cent for Rockefeller. But he also has his minimums, as aircraft pilots do, below which he will not risk landing. In New York, again, he had resolved not to risk a landing if the odds were a single point more than 60-40 against him. By Rockefeller's own stand- , ard in New York, or by any other practical standard, the political weather in New Hampshire appears to be be low minimums for a Rocke feller effort in the primary. Although the Governor is try ing to find out if the weather has changed for the better, he - plainly does not count on any encouraging news before his day of decision, x ei mere are still quite obvious signs that Rockefeller is strongly in clined to make the race against Nixon. He is packing now for another, full dress Bv Joseph Ahvop campaign tour through seven states. What, then, is the clue to this seeming mystery, of an apparently rational man pre paring to commit an appar ently irrational act? The clue lies, beyond doubt, in the Governor's attempt to secure the full time help of the brilliant "Time-Life" writer, Emmet Hughes, who served long and well as the Presi dent's speech-drafter. AFfER reflecting on this experience in the White House, Hughes has now pub lished a stinging criticism of the Eisenhower's foreign and defense policies in a remark able book, "America the Vin cible." Rockefeller has long known the purport of this book. He knew, too, that it was calculated to enrage the President, as it has done. Yet he begged Hughes to come over to his staff, and to an nounce his hew appointment, on the very day "America the Vincible" was published. If Rockefeller finally decides to make the race, moreover, it is all but certain that Hughes will join the Rockefeller staff at that time. These facts only underline what is known already, that Governor Rockefeller, like Emmet Hughes, regards the Eisenhower foreign policy as sadly unimaginative and the Eisenhower defense program as grossly inadequate. They are Baldwin-like and almost Chamberlain - like, in Rocke feller's view. Feeling this way, Rockefel ler has another possible mo tive for making what now ap pears a hopeless race. He may wish to stake out what may be called a neo-Churchillian position, in advance Ot we day of reckoning that Baldwin-Chamberlain style policy making generally brings. If Rockefeller runs the race that way, it will be interesting, w say the least. (e) isa w i Herald Tribune Inc.
