Rocke feller was under strong pres sure today to accept the nun ber two spot on the GOP ticket in 1960 while Demo crats viewed his withdrawal from the presidential race with hopeful optimism. Rockefeller became the overwhelming favorite for the Republican vice presidential nomination with his an nouncement Saturday that he was bowing out of the presi dential race. Republican quarters viewed the move as an open door to the White House for Vice i Northwest GOP i Leaders Predict I Nixon as Choice Portland - (CPU - Northwest Republican leaders think that Vice President Richard Nixon is virtually certain to be the Republican Presidential nomi nee in I960. This feeling became clear after Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York announced he would not be a candidate for the nomination. ' Gov. Mark Hatfield said he hoped that with Rockefeller out of the race for the top spot he would "reopen the door, to the vice", presidential' possi bility." . . , Policies Praised . Hatfield said "the Eisen hower Nixon administration has earned the respect of the entire world and it appears now that Dick Nixon will emerge from Chicago -with solid support, going on to the White House to carry forward the policies in which, the peo ple have expressed their con fidence repeatedly since 1952. He added "I would hope that Gov. Rockefeller will re open the door to the vice pres idential ' possibility so that the strongest possible ticket might be offered the Ameri can people." Morton Seen ' Oregon GOP Chairman Pe ter Gunnar, Salem, agreed that Nixon was the logical candidate. His best guess for vice president was National GOP Chairman Thruston Mor ton if Rockefeller did not run. Robert T. Mautz, Portland, Republican national commit teeman, said he "would cer tainly think that Nixon will get the nomination" with Rockefeller out. Mautz said he did not know if Nixon will be opposed in 1960, but said "it would be exciting if someone else would run."

Democrats claimed Rocke feller's withdrawal boosted their chances for capturing the presidency in 1960. Thev said Nixon would be an easier candidate to beat than Rocke feller. Pressure From Party A nationwide survey by United Press International in dicated Rockefeller would be under ever increasing pres sure from within the Republi can party, to accept the num ber two spot on the GOP ticket. Republican strategists be lieve a Nixon-Rockefeller tic ket would be almost unbeat able. However, Rockefeller has repeatedly stated that he would not accept a bid to run for the vice presidency. He stated as recently as last Sat urday that he would not "at any time entertain any thought of accepting" the vice presidential nomination. R o c k e feller's apparently adamant stand on the issue could disruot hoDes for a Nix on-Rockefeller ticket. Rocke feller has a reputation for meaning what he says. Secret Weapon New York State Republican Chairman Judson Morehouse calls this Rocky's secret weap on. In a world of political double talk he means what he says. A large proportion of GOP leaders have refused to be lieve Rockefeller's Saturday declaration. . The UP I survey disclosed that 17 top Republi cans in 28 states named Rocke feller their favorite choice for the vice presidential nomi nation: , Many ignored Rockefeller's rejection of the number two spot. Some said they believe he would accept if the honor were offered." Others felt that an overwhelming demand for the Nixon-Rockefeller ticket would find the New York gov-" ernor j avauaoie. . Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson, (Tex.) summed up the general re action of the Democratic par ty when he said "Rockefel ler's announcement nailed down the GOP presidential nomination for Nixon. Other Democrats twitted the Republicans for their lack of contenders and underscor ed the Democratic position of having at least five potential presidential contenders. There also was speculation Rockefeller, at the age of 51, decided to postpone his presi dential ambitions until 1964 or even 1968. Police in England Appeal for In Tracking Killer Birmingham, England (DPI) Police appealed today to the frightened passengers of a No. 8 bus to come forward and tell what they could about the blood-stained man who board ed the bus shortly after a kill er decapitated a YWCA girl last Wednesday. British newspapers took up the cry and tried to shame the 59 still-silent passengers into speaking up. They called the killer the most sadistic in the annals of British crime and said no one was safe as long as he remains free. Only Two Come Forth So far only one passenger and the conductor have told police of seeing the man who boarded the bus near the YWCA but neither knew where he got off. He was stained with blood so badly no one would sit by him or occupy the seat after he left. Conductor Bill Humphreys said the man offered his fare in a blood-stained hand but refused to give his destina tion. The most valuable informa tion thus far "came from Mrs. Evelyn Peake, 27, who told police she saw the killer sus pect waiting for the bus near the YWCA, slumped against a wall. . She said he explained his blood stains by saying in an educated voice" "I had a fall. I'll be all right when I can get on a bus." - - American Type Jacket She described the man as M Iff ENGINE DERAILED This is the engine of injuries.
