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

It was asked if cither Gov.

of enthusiasm.
"We come to politic and if
there are demonstrations, they
will be spirited and enthusiastic.
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."

Nixon Will Refuse

Nixon said Saturday he could

Nixon was here at the Her

birthday party for former Presi

will be 73 years old on Monday.
A large group of Eisenhower

reporters before he could check
into the hotel.
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.

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.
