HOOD, Tex. (UPI) -The advance guard of "Operation Big Lift," the biggest trans ocean air movement of ground troops ever tried, arrived in Ger many Saturday to prepare the way for 14,500 men who will be flown there from Ft.

Rocke feller was plainly trying to de termine New Hampshire's reac tion to him and his wife, Happy, with a view to entering the state's first in the nation pri mary. First Comment Where Rockefeller went, his wife was right with him. "Say hello to Hap," was almost al ways the governor's first com ment as he handshook his way about the state. Many have said the Rockefel ler divorce and remarriage will hurt him as a presidential can didate. The governor is appar ently preparing to decide this quickly. He said he would make his decision by the end of this month, and, if he is a candidate, he will enter the primary here. He acknowledged he was t h e underdog.

He told the students that ear lier this year Goldwater propos ed United States withdrawal from the United Nations. "Although the United Nations hasn't fulfilled all of our expec tations," .

At the same time, he released a file of more than 200 letters and documents which wore re ceived or sent by him and which have been or might be interpret ed by his critics as indiscreet.

Tax Views On Oct. 15, Oregon s voters overwhelmingly voted, "no" on a proposed income tax increase measure. "The people have spoken, but it is not quite clear to me what they have spoken about."
