Nixon Steps Out of Politics in California; Implications of Move to New York Studied
Unild Prtss International
Richard M. Nixon, who al
most became president ol tne
United States in I960 and
later was defeated for gover
nor of California, stepped out
of California politics, possibly
for good.
Nixon, in a terse announce
ment in New York, said he
was moving from Los Angeles
to New York to accept a posi
tion with a legal firm.
The political significance of
the move was still being stud
led, but it appeared at least
on the surface a step away
from public life for the for
mer Vice President under
President Dwight D. Eisen
hower. Yielding the Leadership
One thing appeared certain:
Nixon was yielding the leader
ship of the California delega
tion to the 1961 Republican
national convention which
will answer one of the most
intriguing questions in poli
tics: Who will re the 1964
GOP presidential nominee?
Despite his telling defeat by
Gov. Edmund G. Brown last
year, Nixon had not been left
out as a possible "Kingmaker"
as leader of the huge Cali
fornia delegation.
But California Republicans,
and others, were not leaving
out the possibility that Nixon
' will participate In national
politics, not as a candidate,
but from behind the scenes.
Elsewhere, there were these
developments:
Execution: U. S. Supreme
Court Justice William O.
Douglas granted 1 stay of ex
ecution only a few hours be
fore three convicted murder
erg were to die in the San
Quentin gas chamber. A
fourth condemned man, sched
uled to die in the first quad
ruple execution in the pris
on's history, was granted a
limited communtation of his
death sentence to life impris
onment without possibility of
parole.
Brown said "further psy
chiatric study" was needed in
the case of Charles J. Colston,
22, convicted of the rape-slaying
of a 79-year-old Los An
geles woman. Justice Doug
las said the stays of execution
tor Joseph Rosoto, 39, John
F. Vlahovich, 31, and Donald
G. Franklin, 34, condemned
for the gang-slaying of an An
aheim tavern owner, would
be in effect until the high
court decided two other cases
it had under submission.
' Exlermeislt: Senate Repub
lican whip Thomas H. Kuchel
teed-off in a Senate speech on
"fright peddlers" of the John
Birch Society and similar
groups he said were defiling
- the philosophy of conserva
tism. He urged that "cruelly
swindled Americans" be per
suaded to "rejoin the ranks
again of sensible and decent
anti-communist,, pro Ameri
cans. He said 10 per cent of
the 60,000 letters he receives
each month "fall into the cate
gory of fright mail."
Trieste: Rough seas off the
Massachusetts coast continued
to hamper the search for the
nuclear submarine Thresher,
including a planned 600 foot
test dive of the bathyscaph
Trieste which was transported
to the east coast from San
Diego to help solve the sub's
mysterious disappearance.
The Thresher, with 129 men
aboard, sank April 10, leaving
only an oil slick and bits of
flotsam as vague clues to what

caused one of the Navy's
worst peacetime disasters. The
Navy said the test dive of the
Trieste, which is built to with
stand pressure at the 8,400
foot level of the Atlantic,
would be rescheduled as soon
as possible.

THE I SHOCK-RESISTANT i l
for convicted slayer Ralph
Kroeger. At the same time, he
sentenced Kroeger's wife,
Iva (Grandma) Kroeger to the
gas chamber for her part in
the slaying of a Santa Rosa
couple whose bodies were
found buried in the basement
of the Kroeger home.
The killings were attributed
lo a plot to take possession of
the motel owned by the vic
tims. Judge Harry Neubarlh
said after reading, sentence
that Kroeger was "one more
of his wife's victims," calling
her ''troublemaker all her
life" who would kill again.
She was the first woman ever
sentenced to death in a San
Francisco courtroom.
Marine: Former Marine
Capt. Arthur Jackson of San
Jose was on his vacation. But
the vacation wasn't being
spent as originally planned-
at a White House ceremony
for the nation's Congressional
Medal of Honor winners
whose ranks Jackson joined in
the Pacific Theatre in World
War II.
Jackson, who left the Ma
rine Corps only recently, be
came the center of a stir
caused by a report he was dis
charged for allegedly killing
and burying a Cuban spy
found on the Guantanamo Na
val Base. Jackson has refused
to comment. Where he was
spending a vacation from his
job as a San Jose postman,
was unknown, but the phone
of his home had been discon
nected before he left.
Flight) A 36-year-old Santa
Monica housewife took 17
hours and 3 minutes to com
plete the first leg of a flight
which she hopes will make
her the first woman to fly the
Pacific alone. Mrs. Betty Mil
ler touched down at Honolulu
on a flight from Oakland. The
end of the line will be Bris
bane, Australia.
The 2,000 mile flight wai
the longest portion of , her
7,000 mile trip, which is ap
proximately the reverse of
the course on which famed av
iatrix Amelia Earhart disap
peared in 1937.
