Rockefeller Talking, Acting
Like Candidate for Nomination
By LYLE C. 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.

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."
