WILSON United Press International Washington - lUPII -Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller must come up with something more p e r s u a sive than the rec ord if he is to pry substan tial numbers of Negro voters away from the Ken n e d y New F r o n t i e r. Rockefeller is Inllf 1 r, n unr! acting like a candidate for next year's Republican presi dential nomination. He insists that he has not made up his mind to be or not to be a can didate. But Rocky is stump ing the country in search of political support. One of Rockefeller's most Important political appear ances was in Aioany, .v.i. .. before the New York conference of the Nation?! Association for the Advance in e n t of Colored People (NAACP). GOP Needs Negroes The Republican party des perately needs to regain the support of Negro voters. That is precisely what Rockefeller undertook to do in his March 5 Albany speech. He called the roll of civil rights accom plishments in New York state:. It is impressive. Then Rocke feller analyzed the Kennedy Administration record. The governor said Presi dent Kennedy's 19GIS civil rights proposals were too lit tle and too late. He compared Kennedy's 1960 cam p a i g n promises with the administra tion's civil rights perform ance. ' The President's legislative recommendations," Rockefel ler said, "ignore three of his most important campaign promises. They are two years too late. His recommendations cover only five out of 28 legis lative recommendations of the federal Civil Rights commis sion. They ignore 23 proposals of the commission in the fields of housing, 'employment, edu cation, voting rights and ad ministration of justice. "Legislation to implement the entire civil rights section of the Republican platform has been introduced in the House of Representatives by Republicans and the measure has the support of the entire Republican leadership in the House. Thus it is plain that there is constant Republican pressure for action and no dearth of opportunity for the Democratic majorities in the House and Senate to keep the promises of 1960 or meet the recommendations of the Civil Rights commission if the necessary leadership were forthcoming." Rocky's Appeal tate I Rockefeller's appeal for Ne gro votes - that the Republi cans had done well and would do better, whereas the Ken nedy Administration was re fusing to honor its campaign promises. It is a fact, of course, that the Kennedy Administration has dragged its heels on civil rights campaign pledges. But it is equally true that the Kennedy Administration lias starred in some civil rights spectaculars, such as James Meredith's matriculation at the University of Mississippi. The Kennedys also have open ed to Negroes a new field of big and important federal jobs. And Negroes have with the Kennedy Administration a greater social acceptance than with any preceding adminis tration, including FDR's. That is what confronts the Republican party and Repub lican candidates when they bid for Negro support at the polls. Rockefeller is an acknowledged civil rights leader. NAACP Exccu live Secretary Roy Wilkins was interviewed after Rocky's Al bany speech. "Rockefeller's record on civil rights is a good record," Wilkins said. "But, you know, he is running against Presi dent Kennedy!" Glue Sniffing Said Cause of Fatality Portland - IUPII - A mother of a 14-year-old boy who died March 6 told authorities Tues day her son died after sniff ing glue, not suicide by suflo cation as the youngster's death was ruled. Mrs. Beulah Jane Myers disclosed details of her son's death to Multnomah county deputies. Jack McKinley wis found dead in his locked bedroom with a plastic bag over his head. The coroner's office labeled the death a suicide. Sheriff's Juvenile Officer James Sim said Tuesday his staff has investigated Isolated cases of "glue-sniffing" in the past several months. The dangerous fad provides kicks by sniffing certain types of glue, usually airplane model glue, which has con tents that provide a "jag" much like drunkenness. The woman said large amounts of the glue were found in the boy's room after his death. She surmised he had been using the glue for some time and used the plastic bag for a concentrated effect, but passed out and suffocated.

Police Search Who Threw Lye for in flit mm A acKer race By DONALD D. JACKSON United Press International San Francisco - IUPU - Harry Goldman's first wish is for the return of his sight. His second is to find out who took it away, and why. Goldman, 48, owns a kosher delicatessen in San Francisco's Fillmore ,; district. Last Wednesday, shortly after 5 p.m., a young Negro came into the store and without warn ing threw caustic lye into his face. For the past five years, nearly two dozen other per sons have been victims oi similar attacks in San Fran cisco. From his bed in Presbyter ian hospital today, Goldman repeated the question that agonizes him almost as much as the pain: "I can t under stand It. Why me." The senselessness and ap parent lack of motive to the attack puzzle police as well as Goldman. In five days of exhaustive, around-the-clock searching, police inspectors have found only one suspect, and he was quickly cleared. The added inducement of a $1,000 reward, offered by a San Francisco newspaper has so far failed to yield addition al information. One Eye Blinded Doctors say that Goldman has lost the sight of his right eye. They operated on the left eye, but are pessimistic that it can be saved. Goldman and his clerk, Esther Dumo, were alone in the store when the young man walked in Wednesday, Neith er noticed the plastic bottle in his hand. "He ordered hot dogs and pickles," Goldman r e called. "Then, as an afterthought he said, "Cut me a dollar's worth of pastrami.' "I remember seeing him be fore. He came In with another young man the night before. They acted drunk or doped but maybe they were acting. "When I finished slicing the pastrami, I turned around and he threw acid in my eyes. He didn't smile, he didn't say a word." The man then tossed the j bottle at Miss Dumo. Her legs were turned. "It was a vicious crime, viciousness absolutely uncall ed for," said Police Chief Thomas Cahill. Possible Connection Cahill noted the grim pos sibility that the recently highly-publicized case of Dr. Geza de Kaylany who killed his wife by poring nitric acid over her bound body, might have influenced San Fran cisco's young hoodlums. Earlier victims were inter viewed by police last week to see if they could shed any light on the attack on Gold man, but without success. Goldman himself was' the object of a similar incident only three days before he was blinded. He said another Negro threw what he thought was bleach at him burning his face slightly. "He said something like, 'this is what we think of your pickles,' and then threw it," he told police. Goldman's family - his wife , Miriam, and their son and daughter - share his agonized bewilderment. "He's a wonderful man." said Mrs. Goldman. "He never had any trouble at the store. We're minority people ourselves. "He waited on everybody with a smile. Anyone who could do a thing like that-I don't know what to expect next. He never harmed anyone."
