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.

radiation laboratory at Ore
gon State university, and
$240,000 for the State Tax

The emergency board turn

Holmer said most of this will
be spent, leaving the board
with a $29,000 balance.

French wife he had not heard
from for 42 years.
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."

Headlines on Last Election Day
Much the Same as Those of Today
Washington - (UPll - Voters
who picked up a newspaper
on election day two years ago
found the news much the
same as it is today.
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.
