Presidential Hopefuls Eye Gubernatorial Bids Washington (UPD The 1964 presidential chances of at least four Republican can didates will be strengthened or smashed today in off-year balloting for 35 of the nation's governorships. Of the four, only Gov. Nel son A. Rockefeller of New York appeared to be an odris on favorite. He was considered almost certain to preserve both his seat in Albany and his position as a GOP presi dential contender. Former Vice President Richard M. Nixon, who lost the presidency to John F. Ken nedy by a scant 119,450 popu lar votes two years ago, was fighting for his political fu ture in a close race against Democratic Gov. Edmund G. "Pat" Brown. The other two potential While House nominees, former auto maker George Homney of Michigan and Rep. William W. Scranlon of Pennsylvania, are the "new faces" in the presidential test run. Both! have been leading in some polls in their states. Romney Opposes Swainson Romney is trying to unseat Democratic Gov. John B. Swainson, 37, legless war vet eran now finishing his first two-year term. Scranton, 45, is opposed for the Pennsyl vania governorship by former Mayor Richardson Dilworth of Philadelphia. Of the governorships at stake in today's voting, 21 are now Democratic and 14 Republican. Repu b 1 1 c a n s, building for the 1964 and 19G8 presidential races, were con fident they would make gains in governorships. The patron age, prestige and power in volved are vital to any na tional effort. Republicans appeared con cerned only about possible losses in New Hampshire and New Mexico, while making strong bids for governor's chairs in Ohio, Texas, Colo r a d o, Wyoming, Wisconsin and Nebraska. Democrats hold all but two of the 15 governorships in the states which have no contests this year. Montana and Utah are under GOP control. Even Democrats conceded that the GOP had one of its best chances in Ohio, where Democratic Gov. Michael V. DiSallc. an early Kennedy-for-president endorser, is up for reelection. Republican state Auditor James A. Rhodes ap peared the favorite. In normally Democratic Texas, Republicans were struggling to build on their present U.S. Senate seat by Firm Oilers To Purchase Timber Felled by Storm Quincy, Muss. -(UPD- A New England lumber and building materials firm offered its help today in disposing of lumber felled in a storm in the Pacific Northwest last month. The offer by L. Grossman Sons, Inc., was based on the company's experience in sal vaging lumber after the .1938 hurricane in New England. The offer was wired by Joseph B. Grossman, vice president and senior financial adviser of the company, to President Kennedy, Secretary of Commerce Luther Hodges wid Secretary of Agriculture Orville Freeman. "In 1938, when a parallel situation existed as the after math of New England's worst hurricane, L. Grossman Sons. Inc., organized the Eastern Pine Sales Corp., bought the timber from the federal gov ernment and salvaged and sold it in record time," the telegram said in part. "With this experience be hind us, we offer our help in an advisory capacity in the present crisis. We also stand ready, if called upon, to pur chase ard dispose of the lum ber felled by the recent hur ricane," Grossman said. taking the governorship as well. Former Navy Secretary John Connally, a friend and long-time backer of Vice Pres ident Lyndon B. Johnson, was the favorite to keep the gover norship in Democratic hands, however. In New Hampshire, where party feuding after the death of Senate GOP Policy Chair man Styles Bridges rocked the GOP, Democrat John W. King was credited with at least a chance to score an upset. But the edge apparent ly still was with Republican John Pillsbury, a one-time Bridges aide. In New Mexico, Democratic State House Speaker Jack M. Campbell was threatening Re publican Gov. Edwin L. Mech cm, seeking his third term. A second former Eisenhow er administration figure, ex Interior Secretary Fred A. Scaton, was pitted in Nebras ka against Democratic Gov. Frank B. Morrison. Demo cratic incumbents also were fighting to save their places in Colorado and Wyoming.

John Stcfanski, 62, was granted a divorce by Circuit Judge Jean L. Lewis of the Multnomah County Court of Domestic Relations. Stefanski said he married the young French girl, Geor gette, in 1919. But she did not come to this country with him and he said he understood she had obtained a divorce. Later Scfanski married. But last year hi received a letter from Georgette saying she was still Sefanski's wife and had been wounded near the end of the German occu pation of Paris in World War II. She demanded $50 month ly alimony payments. The case wound up before Judge Lewis. The judge said she had found "inconsistencies" in Georgette's deposition and questioned why she waited more than 40 years to try to contact him. Sam Wilderman, Stcfanski's attorney, said he had made a thorough search of court cases and had not found one in which a French wife had sought support ana alimony after such a long delay. He said if the ruling had been otherwise "we probably would have a flock of similar cases filed all over the United States."

The headlines, dominated by the presidential election, told of trouble in Cuba and a crisis in the Congo. And four years ago, when con gressmen and governors were being elected as they are to day, the United Nations was trying to bring an end to nuclear testing. In the days prior to the election that made John F. Kennedy President two years ago today, dispatches told of Russian arms being shipped to Cuba, the seeds that sprouted into the crisis that nearly brought war a few days ago. Fidel Castro ordered out the militia to prepare for "immi nent" American invasion, and 1,450 Marines landed at Guantanamo Bay for "week end shore leave." And on election day, Rear Adm. Edward J. O'Donnell Political Survival Of Brown and Nixon In Hands of Voters San Francisco -IL'PU- Cali fornia voters will settle today a bitter battle for political sur vival between Richard M. Nixon and Gov. Edmund G. Brown. The winner is destined to become governor of a stale soon to be No. 1 in population. The loser almost certainly faces political oblivion. The race is rated very close by most pollsters and political experts. The 49-year-old Republican who almost won the presi dency in 1960 and his 57-year-old Democratic foe battled right down to the wire Mon day night in a last-minute flurry of charges and counter charges. Nixon, in an appearance reminiscent of his famed "Checkers" speech in 1952, told a statewide audience that Brown had lied throughout the campaign. Brown prompt ly denied it and said Nixon had engaged in the "filthiest campaign I've ever seen in my life." Flanked By Family Flanked by his teen-age daughters, Tricia and Julie, and his wife, Pat, Nixon said Brown was responsible for false charges that he is anti Semitic, anti-Negro and anti Catholic. He said it was false to say that he in any way benefited from a $205,000 loan made by the Hughes Tool Co. to his brother, Donald, when Nixon was vice president. He further charged the Democrats were guilty of ly ing when they said he really wants the presidency, not the governorship of California. "If these charges are true, I am not worthy to be gov ernor," Nixon said. "If they are not true, my opponent is not worthy to be governor be cause he made them ... he is responsible for them.' At one point, Nixon made a double slip of the tongue when he said that when he becomes pres . . ." He started over again and said "governor of the United" . . . but caught himself. Interest Said Betrayed Said Brown after the Nxion broadcast: "He ascribed to me charges I have never made. He betray ed his real interest in the campaign when he slipped momentarily and said 'when I am governor of the United States, then caught himself.' "The voters of California have no intention of letting Mr. Nixon use this state to further what again and again he reveals as his ultimate am bition the presidency." Nixon, in his final appeal to the state's 7.5 million voter. once again firmly ruled out anv presidential ambitions in 1964. "Under no circumstances will I run for president," he said. "Rather than fight Presi dent Kennedy, I will support him whenever I think he's right. I have respect for some of the men around him." Polls opened in the state's 31.820 precincts at 7 a.m. (PST). They close at 7 p.m. (PST) except In two counties where they remain open until 8 p.m. An estimated 5.4 mil lion voters are expected to turn out. was made commander of the U.S. naval base at Guantana mo with orders to fight if necessary to defend the base He is still there. The Congo upheaval was the big story. Patrice Lumum ba was barricaded in his house, predicting he would be restored to power. Four months later he was slain and today the Congo has faded from the crisis picture. In Hollywood, Clark Gable voted from his hospital bed. He died 10 days later. And in Moscow the next day, the Soviet press hailed the victory of John F. Ken nedy as a step toward better U.S. -Russian relations. Four years ago last Sunday, the UN General Assembly called on the nuclear powers to reach early agreement on a controlled nuclear test sus pension. Monday, the General Assembly's Political commit tee voted for an end to all nuclear weapon tests by Jan. 1.
