Midwest Campaign Under Way For Seaton for Vice President Washington -(CQ)- A grass roots drive is on in the Mid west to win the Republican vice presidential nomination for Interior Secretary Fred A. Seaton. The drive was kicked off on Feb. 1 by Arthur J. Wea ver, Lincoln insurance coun selor, prominent - Nebraska Republican and brother of Rep. Phil Weaver R-Neb.). Weaver wrote 300 letters to top Republicans in all 50 states and to GOP members of Congress from the farm belt. - ' Weaver urged Seaton for the GOP's 1960 vice presidential- nomination on the ground that Seaton, as a Mid westerner, is familiar, with farm problems, and the once solid GOP Midwest has been going into a Republican tail spin during the past six years. "Weaver received 104 replies to his letters, a number fa vorably disposed toward Seaton. . ' Endorsements in Midwest The Nebraska Young Re publican executive committee on Feb. 28 endorsed a Nixon Seaton 1960 GOP ticket. Exactly a month later, on March 28, in the presence of its keynoter. Vice President Nixon, the Nebraska Republi can state convention passed a resolution endorsing Seaton for the 1960 GOP vice presi dential spot. All but one of the Nebraska candidates for delegate to the 1960 GOP na tional convention have al ready announced, their sup port for Seaton for vice presi dent. i The North Dakota Republi cans on March 30 endorsed Seaton after he had keynoted their state convention. Seaton plans to campaign in North Dakota to help the GOP hang on to a fiercely contested Sen ate seat there in a special election June 28. Seaton also is likely to gel the endorsement of the South Dakota and Nevada Republi cans at their upcoming state conventions during the next few weeks. Rep. William H. Avery (R-Kan.) anticipates the current "grass-roots" drive for Seaton for vice president will spread to Kan sas "within the next 60 days," although the Kansas Republic can convention failed to en dorse Seaton specifically on April 23. Congressional Support . Among the members of Congress, in addition to Avery, who have gone on record as favoring Seaton are: Sens. Karl E. Mundt (R S.D.), Francis Case (R-S.D.). Carl T. Curtis (R-Neb.) and Gordon Allott (R-Colo.), and Rep. Phil Weaver (R-Neb.). The Midwesterners all say they favor Seaton because: The GOP must win back the Midwest to hold the White House and to make gains in the Senate and House in 1960. The farm issue will be of overriding importance to the Midwest this year. Seaton knows a lot about the complexities of farming and their political implica tions. He speaks the farmers' language. Even. Seaton's strongest supporters recognize however, that Seaton has some fairly serious liabilities for a poten tial nominee for second place on the GOP ticket. He is from a small stale, Nebraska, and he does not have apparent "grass-roots" support in any large state. It also is highly questionable whether the Re publicans would put together a 1960 president ticket in which both ' nominees hail from west of the Mississippi river. The 1958 Alaska campaign somewhat tarnished Seaton's reputation as a campaigner; the GOP ticket, for which Seaton campaigned, was snowed under in the first Alaska election since slate hood. Some Republicans regard Seaton as too liberal. Seaton has no war service record. A serious ' back injury in his youth plagued Seaton off-and-on for years until he had a spinal operation three years ago. Some question has been raised about Seaton's health, although he told CQ that a re cent checkup revealed his health "is as sound as a dol lar used to be." n- ... A iiW ... oCoSii Seaton has had the unique experience among govern ment officials of having served in the Senate, in the Defense Department, at the White House and as Secretary of Interior since he first came to Washington in 1951. He is one of the small group that worked closely with Eisenhower in the 1952 cam paign and who has remained in the White House "inner circle." During this period he Writer Gets Ringside View Staged by Student Horde in By FRANK H. BARTHOLOMEW President of UPI Tokyo - ll'Pli - I saw the trouble beginning to form up just about dusk as the sub ways began to disgorge the student horde which massed in more or less orderly fash ion in the parks and areas surrounding t h e Parliament buildings, but a considerable distance away. They carried banners and placards in Japanese and English. "Cancel Ike's trip" was the theme of the English placards. The long and growing col umns began converging on the area f-om points sometimes as much as a mile away. Occasionally a professional organizer would mount a doorstep and harangue his cadre. Then they would form up again and resume march ing. Earnest Hobcrechl, United Press International general manager for Asia, and I fol lowed in Hoberecht's car. Polict Show Strength . We saw the first violence when a group of right-wing students emerged from an al leyway and challenged the demonstrators. A swift scuffle followed. Japanese reporters and photographers, the latter carrying short aluminum lad ders, converged on the light ing.

The seething crowd con verged on us and we had to get our car out of the way. The wailing of ambulances, which were to be a steady and ominous background sound throughout Tokyo's bad night, told of fights in other areas. We moved to the main en trance of the Parliament grounds. Here police had parked 16 trucks side by side, headed in toward the govern ment buildings. The rear of each truck had been equipped with a strong wooden apron as a shield. Soon one shield was de molished and the lumber used as clubs by the increasingly frenzied teenagers, both boys and girls. Rioters Wet Down The horde piled through the opening. I saw an ex plosive flash of white light inside. Three of the trucks were set on fire. The rioters, some of them seemingly verging on the de moniac, did snake dances of Riots Tokyo through the surroundinn streets for many blocks or charged in to openings in the police defense. Fire hoses were brought into play by the silent defend ers. The streets became a mass of mushy papier - mrche as thousands of handbills and pamphlets were reduced to pulp beneath the feet of Ihe attacking hordes. Some of the young people were by contrast, curiously disciplined. They would line up under trees, perhaps five hundred to a group, silently waiting orders from some hid den source and paying no at tention to the wild scamper ings of the others. Ambulances Busy The ambulances from both the police and fire depart ments came and went in un ending wailing parades, pick ing up Ihe wounded. Police were lined up across the entrance of the central police headquarters as this was written. The student mob had forced its way to the lower steps. Best conjecture was that an attempt was un der way to release arrested compatriots. Sudden heavy rain squalls were beginning to have effect , and some of the drenched and by 11:30 p.m. Fires were ex- exhausted boys started to unguisnea.

SUPER MARKET FAHS has developed a good working relationship with Vice Presi dent Nixon as well as with the President. The 50-year-old Cabinet of ficial has lived around farm ers all his life and has owned several farms himself. He is an alumnus of Kansas State university. He now owns and has his home on an 80-acre irrigated farm near Hastings, Neb., where he feeds cattle to market. He is president of Western Farm Life Publish ing Co. in Denver, which pub lishes Western Farm Life magazine. Seaton helped organize wa tershed districts in the Mid west during the 1930s. While he served as a presidential assistant at the White House in 1955-56, Seaton handled farm matters. But what ideas Seaton may have about farm problems and programs he is keeping to himself. Asked about them, Seaton told CQ, "No one pick ed me to be Secretary of Ag riculture. I am a member of a ball club, and I am staying out of the other man's field." Seaton is also taking the same hands-off attitude about the current veep boomlet on his behalf. He told CQ, "I am not a candidate. I have no stars in my eyes, and I can't imagine the vice presidency coming to me. I haven't gone out to seek a delegate. As you know, the vice presidential nomination depends on the presidential nominee." He added, however, "I can't imagine that any Ameri can would say that he would not be interested in the vice presidency. It is a . great honor." (Copyright 1960, Congres sional Quarterly, Inc.)
