new battleground of Arkan
sas party politics.
Here the "Squire of Petit
Jean Mountain'' presides over
a vast and widely-varied set
o interests. They range from
raisin8 purebred Santa Ger-
. calue lo promoting ln-
uiuuidi ueveiopment ana, lo
the chagrin of the Democrats
in his back yard, making a
two-party state of Arkansas.
Rockefeller came here from
New York nearly 10 years
ago during divorce proceed
ings from his first wife
"Bobo", the daughter of a
Lithuanian coal miner. He
never made any secret of his
politics. He is just as Repub
lican as his brother Nelson,
the governor of New York
and a leading candidate for
the next GOP presidential
nomination.
Politics Ignored
But Winthrop Rockefeller's
political persuasion was large
ly ignored as long as he con
fined it to the lofty reaches
of Petit Jean and his office in
Little Rock's Tower building.
It was when he went down
into the communities last
year to organize local Repub
lican units that the fur started
to fly. It flew furiously during
the recent legislative session,
when a move was mounted to
oust him as chairman of the
Arkansas Industrial Develop
ment Commission (A1DC).
Members of the legislature
who had Republican opposi
tion for the first time last fall
because of Rockefeller were
ready to send him packing.
Bombastic Rep. Paul Van
Dalsem of Perry county de
manded on the floor of the
House. "Who the hell does
Rockefeller think he is?"
But the ouster efforts failed
as the legislature, stunned
by the vigor of the public re
action, backed away.
Two-Party Plant
It may not have been a
clear-cut victory for Rocke
feller, but he feels it certainly
was no harm to his two-party
plans.

it," he said. "It had to help."
Rockefeller, who admits he
came very close to taking on
Gov. Orvil Faubus in the
gubernatorial race last year,
is not saying whether he
might try it in 1964.
"But I think they (the leg
islature) have helped me if
I should decide to run," he
added.
Rockefeller's W i n r o c k
farms, near Morrllton in Con
way county, is on a plateau
1,100 feet above sea level.
Rockefeller bought some
900 acres of land on the west
ern side of the plateau in 1953,
when it was mostly untended
woodland and unproductive
soil. Land purchases in 1962
extended Winrock to
than 7,500 acres.

Cattle Grate
Now a prize herd of about
2,400 Santa Gcrtrudis graze
on lush, green pastures. More
than 20 immaculate buildings
dot the landscape, providing
living and working quarters
for the farm's 125 employees
as well as housing the animals.
Not only does he run a
successful farm. Rockefeller
looks like a farmer. Only his
diction betrays his New York
background.
There is a story that when
he first arrived he drove down
to Morrilton to look over some
tractors. In his work clothes
he looked like any of the
other farmers in the area, so
the story goes, and didn't get
much attention until he of
fered to pay cash for a fleet
of tractors.
"I hadn't heard that one,"
Rockefeller said. "But some
times visitors here think I'm
one of the employees. I usualy
let them know who I am,
though, before I hey gel em
barrassed." Western Dreu
It would be a logical mis
take. Around the farm he
drapes his big frame in west-
tern clothing and wears a
broad-brimmed hat.

hood. He likes to drive it
around the farm surveying
his stock and talking with
the employees on a two-way
radio.
Smoke curled from the
forest in nearby Petit Jean
State Park as he drove a UPI
reporter and photographer
around the farm.
"This is 52," he said into
the radio. "Is the fire under
control?" It was. Satisfied,
he hung up the microphone.
Rockefeller is proud of his
Santa Gertudis, which com
bine the hardiness of the
Brahman with the meat pro
duction of the shorthorn.
He offers 20 of his top two-
year olds at an annual sale,
often attended by movie stars
and other celebrities, the sec

Defends Poll
Rockefeller does not want
to be considered an outsider
or a interloper in state affairs.
In turning down the Repub
lican gubernatorial race last
summer he said, "I have no
personal ambitions. It is my
considered judgement that I
can do more for the Repub
lican party in Arkansas by
making it clear that I am not
seeking something for my
self. Above all I am going to
strive, with all the energy I
possess, to establish the sac
redness of the poll. It is tragic
that the theme of voting in
Arkansas today is a theme of
fear."
He still is trying to organ
ize from the "grass roots,"
and therein lies much of his
trouble with the Democratic
administration.
Gov. Orval Faubus, wlio
twice appointed Rockefeller
to the AIDC, said in a tele
vision appearance March 27
he believed Rockefeller had
been an asset to the stale.
"That is way I left him on
the AIDC," Faubus said. "But
when you go into a commun
ity and try to deprive some
one of his dearest possession,

his political life, you are ask
ing for trouble.
Although the AIDC and
politics take up most of his
time. Rockefeller has a num
ber of other activities' which
keep him moving.
He goes to New York so
much that, although he hasn't
lived there for more than nine
years, he still gets his hair
cuts in a New York barber
shop.
He recently was named
chairman of the 1963 camp
aign of the National Mental
program in which his wife is a
leader. He and Mrs. Rocke
feller also are leaders in the
Arkansas Arts Center, and
Mrs. Rockefeller promoted an
"Artmobile" journey around
the state to display fine art
to school children.

School Renaming
Gains Momentum
Grants Pass A proposal to
rename the new Monument
Junior High school near Mer
lin after the late County
School Superintendent Elmer
Fleming, who died here last
week, is gaining momentum
in this area.
Orville Davis, member of
the Merlin school advisory
board, brought the proposal
to the attention of the County-Unit
school board this
week, saying there had been
much discussion among stu
dents and patrons of the
school regarding the possibil
ity that either the school or
the school gymnasium be re
named in honor of the late
superintendent under whose
tenure it was constructed.
School board members de
cided to sound out further
opinions from students and
patrons of the school and
from various PTAs in the
county. If sufficient accord is
found, the matter will be
brought up for action at the
County-Unit school board
meeting in May.
