President of Young GOP Points To Enthusiasm EUGENE, Ore. (UPI) - The national president of the Young Republicans says "We don't come to conventions anymore to knit, pearl and drink tea." Donald E. Lukens, 32-year-old Ohio bachelor, said that a new wave of enthusiasm was sweep-1 was planned, he expected plenty ing the Republican party. It was asked if cither Gov. Nelson Rockefeller or Sen.

This is something that is new to the Young Republican League." Lukens called himself a "tough" young politician during an interview. He said he will double the half-million YR mem bership in the next two years. He speaks five languages and noted that he holds a black belt in Karate and judo. He has resigned his job as a legislative research analyst for the House Rules Committee to work full time at re-organizing the Young Republican party. His expenses are paid as the president but Lukens said he had enough money left in sav ings to complete a tour of all state chapters by January. He narrowly edged out Charles McDevitt, an Idaho state repre sentative, for the presidency at the YR convention in San Fran cisco June 25-29. Draws Criticism He has been criticized for go ing to that convention as a Gold water backer and for grabbing the election amidst lively shout ing by the delegates. "The major fact about that Is overlooked," he said. "It was all right for me to support whomever I wanted before I was elected. But after I became president, I was prohibited by our constitution from declaring my preference." "No matter," he added. "Out of that very convention will come in the next years some of the finest Republican politicians anybody has ever seen."

(UPI) For mer Vice President Richard M. Nixon said Saturday he could not conceive of himself as the Republican presidential nomi nee in 1964. Nixon was here at the Her shey Hotel for a sentimental birthday party for former Presi dent Dwight D. Eisenhower who will be 73 years old on Monday. A large group of Eisenhower friends gathered here for an afternoon of chatting with the former Chief Executive and dinner with him Saturday night. Nixon arrived in the late afternoon and was beseiged by Penington Elected Head of Appraisers The Southern Oregon chapter of the Society of Real Estate Appraisers elected Stewart Pen ington president during the reg ular meeting last week.

Briefly, his thoughts on up coming national politics: He could not conceive of himself as the top GOP candi date next year, saying rather bluntly that a draft without the ardent activity of the draftee was "so much nonsense." If his name is offered in any state primary requiring the corv sent of the candidate, he will not give it. He expects that his name may be offered in Ore gon which does not require the consent of the candidate and in this case he will appeal to Gov, Mark Hatfield to take his name out of the picture. Party Well Endowed He thinks the Republican party is well endowed with leadership and potential candi' dates. He thinks the more sue. cessful Republican presidential nominee for next year would be a man well oriented to the in ternational situation; a man closer to the middle of the political road rather than a fig ure identified with the right or the left. Nixon ticked oil tne names of the more prominent Repub lican possibilities Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.), Gov. Nel son A. Rockefeller of New York, Gov. William Scranton of Pennsylvania and Gov. George Komney ot Michigan. "These men all have leader ship qualities," said the man who ran unsuccessfully for the presidency in 1960 and the Cali fornia governorship in 1962. "As the time comes closer to the nominating convention and they come under the increasing scrutiny of the press, radio, television and other information media, they will start to emerge on their merits." Nixon frankly expressed the hope that he would have a voice in Republican policy, saying he intended to continue speak ing his beliefs, but he shook off every suggestion by reporters that he, himself, might be a factor a personal factor in the 1964 picture. "I am realist enough to know that a draft only works when the draftee does most of the work and I am not about to do that," he said.

Our flttitUnta Alder otrfM, Republican full Predicts Gains EUGENE, Ore. (UPI) - Re publicans can gain four Senate seats, nine Congressional seats and one or two governorships in the West next year, according to a poll at the Western Republican conference. The poll of delegates from the 13 Western states was released by Wyoming Republican State Chairman John Wold. The survey also showed dele gates feel President Kennedy can be beaten on such issues as fiscal policies, Cuba, civil rights, foreign policy, unemployment, agriculture, failure on campaign promises and the "Kennedy power grab." Leading Republicans made these comments on the situation in their home states: Alaska With a slight Repub lican voter edge, Alaska should fall in the GOP presidential col umn again. Democratic Cong ressman Ralph Rivers could be unseated. Arizona With GOP Sen. Barry Goldwater a potential na tive son, Arizona looks strongly Republican. California If there Is a major philosophical split within the Re publican party, Republicans will lose the state. On specific races, Democratic Sen. Clair Engle ap pears too ill to run again, and the GOP may capture the seat. Colorado The state should go for a Republican president. GOP victories are sure in the second and third Congressional dist ricts, and possible in the first or fourth. Hawaii Republicans face a hard pull, with nowhere to go but up. Idaho A good bet for the GOP presidential column. Locally, Re publicans will concentrate on taking over the legislature. Montana Should vote for a Republican president, keep the governorship Republican, and pick up such offices as attorney general. Sen. Mike Mansfield will be difficult to unseat. Nevada A strong possibility to vote for a Republican presi dent and U. S. Senator. The GOP faces an uphill fight on the Congressional level. Repub licans hope to gain strength in the Senate and take control of the assembly. New Mexico Republicans have a chance of unseating new Democratic Gov. Jack Camp bel. Voter alignment is against the GOP. Oregon Republicans will con centrate on gaining control of the state house of representa tives and moving nearer control of the Senate. Republicans will try to recapture Congressional seats in the second and fourth districts'. The state should fall into the GOP presidential column. Utah The GOP should keep the governorship and two Cong ressional seats and replace Democratic Sen. Frank Moss with a Republican. Washington It will take a dedicated, efficient organization for the GOP to carry Washing ton. Republicans must fight Gov. Albert Rosellini's "entrenched machine." Wyoming With the present Republican organization, t h a party will carry Wyoming for the presidency and replace Democratic Sen. Gail McGee with a Republican. Geo.
