efeoted DiSalle Plays Ohio Politics Waiting Game
py .MARGARET A. K1LG0RE (of Ohio who is now olavinc a

j WASHINGTON (UPI)-"Some The game is whether his Re
4ny there will be a judgment." publican successor, Gov. James
j These are the words of de- j A. Rhodes, will feel the wrath
ttroned politician-former Dem-1 of the Ohio voters as did the
tcratic Gov. Michael V. DiSalle ! rotund little man who was con
troversial director of the much'
hated Office of Price Stabiliza
tion back in the Truman ad
ministration. DiSalle made clear in a UPI
interview that he was not em
bittered bv the outcome of the
T ALKS TO STUDENTS - Michael V. DiSalle, students at University of Massachusetts, where
former Ohio governor (L), is shown here DiSalle was professor of practical politics,
talking to members of faculty and graduate (UPI)
I election that returned him to
private life involuntarily.
"I've been in politics long
enough to know you can't look
back," he said. "And Rhodes
hasn't been in office long
enough for me to tell how he's
doing. But I'm keeping a file
of his actions compared with
mine in similar circumstances,
and some day there will be a
judgment."
The 55-year-old former gover
nor now heads Reston. a "fu
ture city" being built near
Dulles International airport in
nearby Virginia. He spends
about two davs a week at his
job and commutes to Columbus,
the Ohio state capital, where he
and his wife, Myrtle, reside.
Children Gone
"We have an apartment on
the first floor of a building and
my law office is on the top
floor," he said. "The kids are
pretty well gone now and we
have 13 grandchildren. So we've
got a place just big enough for
us and for everyone to come
and see us."
DiSalle also forayed into the
academic world since departing
the Ohio statehouse. Under a i
Ford Foundation grant, he as
sumed a professorship in prac
tical politics at the University
of Massachusetts.
Gov. Rhodes called his vic
tory "a return to fiscal respon
sibility in the statehouse." Along
with DiSalle went all Democrats
who had been elected to state
office. The new governor has at
tracted national attention with
his economies wholesale fir
ing of state employees, lower
welfare subsidies, and a firm
stand against new or increased
taxes.
DiSalle had pushed through a
tax hike of nearly $:00 million
at the start of his single term
in 1959. He said Rhodes had
criticized him "for hiring too
many people and having too
big a state payroll."
"Well," DiSalle added today.

"what's he going to do about
all the workers he has laid oil .' !
He sacked men with 10 to 15
years accrued under civil serv-1
ice career employees with no
place else to go." i
Rhodes has said that em
ployees who feel they were fired
indiscriminately have the right
of appeal.
"But where do they go?" Di
Salle asked again. "Under Ohio
law, the ultimate appeal goes
to the governor's office and that
takes years. Some little guy
who is making $8,000 a year
can't wait around to be ulti
mately told his appeal was turn
ed down by the man who fired
him."
DiSalle indicated he would
not turn down a re-entry into
politics if the opportunity arose,
but he said he is not seeking
anything. He said he has writ
ten a book, due to be published
this fall, on capital punishment.
He said he has another one in
the works on the seven vice
presidents who ascended to the
presidency.
Opposes Deallli Penalty
His views against capital pun
ishment kept him in hot water
much of the time he was in
office.
"But the papers onlv made a
big thing out of the prisoners I
kept out of the (electric) chair,"
he said. They plaved down the
ones whose sentence I refused
to commute."
DiSalle is well known in poli
tical circles and was popular
in an unpopular job when he
handled wage and price con
trols after World War II.
He has visited President Ken
nedy several times since his
return to Washington last winter
and it is known that the White
House has consulted him on pa
tronage appointments for Ohio.
Looking to the 1964 presiden
tial election, DiSalle said: "I
think California and Ohio are
going to be the key states in
the election. There is no doubt
that Ohio will be the most hotly
contested state and it could well
he thp Hwiriinp farlnr in Ihp
PrpiHpnt' win " !
Will DiSalle work for a Demo
cratic victory in Ohio?
"I haven't been asked yet,"
he replied.
Butler in Private
Consultation With
Prime Minister
Anchorage 'Feels'
Speeding Plane
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (UPI)
The Alaskan Air Command
(AAC) at Elmcndorf AFB con
firmed Wednesday that a sonic
boom which shook homes and
rattled windows in this area
shortly before 11 p.m. AST
Tuesday was caused by the Air
Tokyo-to-England speed record.
The boom was heard and felt
widely in this area. City police
said they received 50 calls with
in a few minutes after the boom
and another 100 calls throughout
the night from residents asking
about the cause.
The AAC said it had no in
formation about the altitude or
speed of the plane as it passed
over the Anchorage area.
Many residents reported hear
ing a lesser boom a few min
utes ahead of the louder noise.
LONDON (UPI) Deputy
Prime Minister R. A. Butler
spent 45 minutes in private con
sultation with retiring Prime
Minister Harold Macmillan to
day in the Conservative party's
continuing search for a new
leader.
One week after Macmillan en
tered a hospital for surgery
and announced he was quitting
as party leader and premier,
Butler appeared to be the like
liest choice among half a doz
en contenders. But political ob
servers remained divided on
this and some commentators
were beginning to suggest sar
castically that the best solu
tion would be for Macmillan
himself to remain.
The staunchly Conservative
Daily Express trumpeted in a
headline, "What a fight but
why don't they bring back Mac
millan?" Brrmning Exhausted
Macmillan himself, recuper
ating from a prostatic opera
tion, appeared to be coming
both emotionally and physical
ly exhausted by the strain of
the leadership crisis. For three
days he has been receiving in
his King Edward VII Hospital
room a steady parade of cabi
net ministers and party strate
gists seeking a way out of the
deadlock that apparently has
split the party wide open.
With a general election due
within the next 12 months, the
pressure on the party to come
to terms with itself was tre
mendous. S i r John Richardson, Mac
millan's physician, appeared
worried by the demands of the
crisis on his patient. He told
newsmen today the 69-year-old
! prime minister was "very tried
j and this is directly the result of
the continuous consultations
that have gone on since very
shortly after the operation."
Declines Comment
Butler emerged smiling from
his session with Macmillan but
declined any comment other
than to say, "there is a lot of
work to do."
At least three candidate be
sides Butler were rated still in
the running. They are Science
Minister Lord Hailsham, Chan
cellor of the Exchequer Rcgi
Sccretary Lord Home.
But London newspapers today
agreed for the first time since
Uie race began that the 60-ycar-
nlH RnMer was prnwinp
I stronger.
Dinner To Honor
Senator Morse
BEAVERTON (UPI) - Sen.
Wayne Morse, D-Ore., was to
be honored at a dinner here to
night in observance of his 63rd
birthday. It is sponsored by the
Washington County Democratic
Central Committee.
Morse spoke at the Univer
sity of Oregon's Charter Day
observance in Eugene Wednes
day, and said so many students
will be trying to enter colleges
and universities by 1980 that
present institutions should be
: doubled in size.
He also said there would be
i need for 1,000 new institutions
I with a capacity of 2,500 students
each.
Morse said, "If people tell
me that all we have to do is
raise the standards and keep
out the crowds of students, I
say in answer, 'the standards
are already too high.' "
He added "We are cheating
tens of thousands of students
now because they lack the
means to get a higher educa
tion." Morse, Bend Bulletin Associ
ate Editor Phil Brogan and Dr.
Kenneth Swan of the University
Medical School, were honored
at the Charter Day observance.
Morse's plane was delayed by
fog and he missed the 10 a.m.
convocation, but spoke at a 3
p.m. assembly.
