Text of Rockefeller's Announcement
Albany, N.Y-fllPD-The text
of Gov. Nelson A. Rockefel
ler'! statement that he is not
a candidate for the 1960 Re
publican presidential nomina
tion: "I have come to a definite
decision with respect to my
candidacy for the Republican
.nomination for the presiden
cy. I have done so after long
and serious reflection, and
my decision has been dictated
by clear and sharp convic
tions. "These convictions bear
upon the two political roles
that prescribe my responsibil
ity. The first of these is the
position of Governor of New
York state. This is an office
and an honor plainly com
manding my full respect and
utterly deserving of my faith
ful service.
"The second role that I
must servie is that of any
American, namely: responsi
ble citizenship on the nation
al scene. And this responsibil
ity assumes a particularly
keen and explicit form when
our nation confronts issues
and challenges of truly his
toric size and seriousness.
Profoundly Concerned
"If 1 were not profoundly
concerned with these issues,
I would have no reason to be
in public life in any capacity.
"I have had to weigh, how
ever, and to decide how best
to express this concern. This
question has largely inspired
the several trips 1 have re
cently made through the
country. For only by meeting
and talking with many citi
zens of many states could I
form a reasoned conclusion
as to how I may best serve
both the State of New York
and the nation.
"These trips have made it
clear to me. as I believe they
have to others, that the great
majority of those who will
control the Republican con
vention, stand opposed to any
contest for the nomination.
"Therefore, any quest of
the nomination on my part
would entail a massive struggle-in
primary elections
throughout the nation - de
manding so greatly of my
time and energy that it would

ment of my obligations as
governor of New York.
Net a Candidate
"My conclusion, therefore,
is that I am not, and shall not
be, a candidate for nomina
tion for the presidency.
"This decision is definite
and final. By this decision,
and my intended course of
action, I deeply believe I can
best serve the needs of both
party and country.
"As to my party, I am a
Republican seriously con
cerned about the future vig
or and purpose of my party.
I believe that we live in an I
age that challenges represent
ative government and the
two-party system that it is
American expression. In such
an age, neither of our great
parties can hope to meet the
issues and the opportunities
of the future merely with the
devices and programs of the
past. The vitality-the sense of
realism and the sense of pur-pose-of

as the Republican party is,

Paris capitalist style. They
went to a -Roman Catholic

clubbed until early morning.
Christmas is just another
working day back in Moscow.
But Alexei Adjubei, editor of
the government newspaper
Izvestia, and his wife, the
Soviet premier's daughter
Rada, chose to ignore this fact
during their visit here.
Night Spot Tour
Escorted by Izvestia Paris
correspondent Sergei Zykov,
who seems to know his way
around the bright spots, they
went on an early - morning
tour of Montmartre and Latin
Quarter night clubs.
One newspaper reported
that Christmas morning
"found them covered with
confetti, enjoying themselves
by throwing paper pellets at
each other." , - '
Before touring the night
clubs, the couple had gone to
midnight pontificia'l mass at
Notre Dame cathedral. Like

Ike Gets Engraved
Plaque from Cabinet
Washington flIPD President
Eisenhower's cabinet has

The oval plaque ' was de

On it, there is engraved a
chart of his trip to the nations
he visited in Europe, Asia and
Africa between Dec. 3 and

His Initials, D.D.E., and the

Oysters and Cognac
The Adjubeis completed
their capitalist holiday with a

going through turkey and
French wines, and ending
with choice cognac. .
Last night, they joined the
glittering audience at the

girl heroine.
In between, the couple re

purposes and policies, all of
us who are Republicans
should devote our thoughts

expect to support the nom

of the party in 1960.
Cities World Issues
"As to our country, the na
tional and world issues be
fore us, I deeply believe, hold
omen of both menace and
hope, both danger and oppor
tunity. We all know the range
of these issues: world policies,
military defenses, economic
growth, educational excel
lence, racial relations, social
needs, public morals. Not one
of these spheres tolerates
complacence toward the fu
ture. Every one of them in
vites scrutiny.
"Such a scrutiny must be
full and foresighted. For such
a time as this calls for a pro
found and continuous act of
national self-examination.
"I shall contribute all I
can , to this political act. I
shall speak with full freedom
and vigor on these issues that
confront our nation and the
world.
"To all those who have
urged upon me a different
course with respect to candi
dacy, I am grateful. I hope
and trust they will respect my
decision and its reasons.
No. 2 Spot Ruled Out.
"Quite obviously, I shall
not at any time entertain any
thought of accepting nomina
tion to "the vice-presidency
even if the honor were of
fered, for this would clearly
run counter to all the consid
erations inspiring my present
decision.
"I hope my friends will re
spect this absolutely definite
resolve.
"I believe I have chosen
the right course.
"I shall do all in my power,
as a citizen and as governor,
to make it a creative and con
structive one."
Britisher Who Made Trip in
Junk Plans to Settle Down
Eureka, Calif. -(UPD- Brian
Piatt, plucky 29 - year - old
Britisher who "got tired" of
the foreign service and em
barked alone on a 7,000 mile
voyage across the Pacific
Ocean in a 36-foot junk, said
Saturday he was planning to
settle down and start a small
business in Canada.
Piatt, who concluded his
incredible 70-day trip Friday
with an assist from the Coast
Murder Suspect
Asks Lie Test
Plainsville, Ohio (DPD
Truckdriver Floyd E. Har
grove, 34, Saturday admitted
he was the lover of brunette
housewife Mrs. Charles R.
Clark but sought a lie detec
tor test to prove he was not
the sniper who killed her
scoutmaster husband Christ
mas Eve in the kitchen of the
Clark home.
Hargrove, a divorced fa
ther of five, was held in Lake
county jail for questioning.
His scheduled, lie detector
test at Shaker heights, a few
miles southwest of here, was
indefinitely postponed Satur
day to allow further question
ing. Police Chief Frank D.
Hathy of nearby Mentor said
he believed Hargrove to be
the rifleman who shot the
35-year old Clark through the
temple as Clark helped his
wife fix supper for their four
children.

Guard, made the last leg of
his journey non-stop from Ja
pan. Piatt said the main mast
on the junk snapped and fell
overboard some 600 miles
north of Midway Island. He
managed to retrieve it but
said he debated going to Mid
way or to the Aleutians for
repairs.
But he continued to head
to the United States because
he wasn't sure about repair
facilities in "those two spots."
The junk ran out of fuel
Friday as it neared Humboldt
Bay just after Piatt saw his
first land in two months and
nine days of sailing. Piatt ad
mitted that his running out
of fuel so near his final des
tination made him "a little
nervous." The Coast Guard
towed him in and immediate
ly treated him to a typical
U.S. style Christmas dinner.
Began in Hong Kong
Piatt's voyage began in
Hong Kong. He made stops
at Formosa, Okinawa, and
Japan before starting the
non-stop sail to the states. He
navigated by dead reckoning
throughout the voyage.
Badly Burned Girl
In Fair Condition
Salem -(DPI) A Woodburn
girl was reported in "fair"
condition Saturday in Salem
Memorial hospital with se
vere leg burns suffered Christ
mas day when her nightgown
caught fire from a fireplace
ember.
The girl, Adrienne Durett,
8, was burned on both legs
and one hand.
Adrienne's 13-year-old sis
ter, Rosita, immediately
snatched up a blanket and
smothered the flames on the
little girl. The girls received
nightgowns for Christmas.
Piatt served five years in
the B t i t i s h Administrative
Service in the federated Ma
lay states before sailing from
Singapore to Hong Kong on
a yacht last September.
Piatt's voyage to Hong Kong
dissatisfied him because it
was "too easy."
He purchased the sturdy
teakwood junk in Hong
Kong, added an auxiliary en
gine, then began the trip.
The Britisher, who said he
has had enough of foreign
service, will sail to San Fran
cisco sometime next week,
then look into business pos
sibilities in Canada.
