- ! Rockefeller's Political Image Inherited From Grandfathers By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International There was a time some years ago when a no more unlikely liberal Republican candidacy for president could have been imagined than that of a grand son of John D. Rockefeller and of Nelson W. Aldrich. Gov. Nelson Aldrich Rocke feller of New York was named for his maternal grandfather, the late Republican senator from Rhode Island. You might say that the only announced candi' date for the Republican presi dential nomination inherited his political tradition. - But you would be more accurate to' say it with qualifications. - The politics and policies of the late Sen. Aldrich and those of his grandson, the governor, are so utterly different as to amaze that both bear the same party label. Aldrich was a hard shell Republican U. S. senator, 1881-1911. The senator died in 1915, un- shriven of a conservatism which could not be matched among present day political leaders. The very old timers will con nect the senator's name with the 1909 Payne-Aldrich Tariff Act. Aldrich was an extreme protec tionist and it was that kind of bill. Led To Defeat The dictionary of American history relates: "The Payne-Aldrich taruf. . . led to the decisive defeat of Re publicans in the congressional elections of 1910." It was in protest against this political trend and conservative leadership that brought Theo dore Roosevelt in 1912 roaring off the bench to create the Bull Moose party and to run for president. That is Nelson Rockefeller's political heritage, mater n a 1 side, although the younger man is at least as far removed from the political credo of his ma ternal grandfather as from the ruthless business practices of his more famous grandfather John D. the first. John D. founded the family fortune.. The fame of John Davison Rockefeller rests now in the popular mind on good works, on taint mentaj images ot a very old man giving dimes to little children, on widely publicized ulcers and a graham cracker diet and on the most monumen tal distribution of all time of private funds for the public good. ' Formed Lasting Image The old man's gigantic phil anthropies and his folksy way with small change combined to create a lasting public image under the auspices of one of the greatest public relations men of them all. This flack's name was Ivy Lee and the socko ef fect of Lee's public relations counsel is proved that a Rocke feller twice has been elected to high public office ind can now aspire to the presidency. That would not have seemed possible SO years ago and for some time after that. It was in January, 1908, that President Theodore Roosevelt had some thing to say about the business tycoons of his time. TR said TO VISIT CANAVERAL WASHINGTON (UPI) - Pres ident Kennedy will visit Cape Canaveral, Fla., Saturday for a first-hand look at work on new U.S. moon shot facilities, the White House said Wednesday. It in a message to Congress. Mark Sullivan describes it in his book, "Our Times," as the most sensationally provocative utterance of TR's career. The trust - busting President denounced the aforesaid tycoons as criminals of great wealth and pledged himself to counter their cunning. He scored what he called the greed and trickery of these representa tives of wealth trikilly accumu lated by corrupt men. TR did not name his targets. Sullivan's book, however, Identifies two of them as John D. Rockefeller, Standard Oil magnate, and Ed ward H. Harriman, railroad fin ancier. He was Averell Harrl man's pa.

(UPI) New Complicated Machine Controls Body Temperature By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor . NEW YORK (UPD-There is now a complicated machine for doing elaborately what the body, when in health, seems to do simply. It controls body tem perature precisely, indefinitely and automatically. To have your temperature controlled by ' this mechanical marvel you lie between two of its parts, a blanket and a mat tress. They're made of continu ous square plastic tubing em bedded in plastic foam and are identical. Each of these systems of tub ing has both inlet and outlet. These are connected to a cir cuitry of pipes around which a fluid is pumped. In the circuit are both a refrigerating unit and a heat exchange. 'To one side is an independent heating circuit, to be cut in or cut out. These control the temperature of the fluid. There are short cuts in the circuitry, to be oocned or closed, which make it possible to change the tem perature of the tluid lrom very com to very noi in a jmy. Hooked to Computer Presiding is a miniature com' outer. A probe is in the person between Dlannei ana mauress through which the fluid is now circulating. The probe is hooked up to the computer which makes minute-to-minute calculations of the temperatures of the fluid and of the probe. It has been set in advance to whatever temperature the doc tor wanted, and when the probe signals that temperature has been reached it holds it there to an accuracy of a hundredth of a degree (F) without fuss or bother. This newest of medical-surgi- ral devices was developed at Duke University Medical Center, Durham, N.C., and described in a technical publication 01 tne American College of Surgeons by Drs. Robert L. Fuson and C. Ronald Stephen. "The oroblem of temperature control in a patient is as old as medicine itself," they said. But now it isn't necessarily the nor mal body temperature which is desired. For some kinds of sur gery a steadily maintained tem perature much below normal is wanted, and for a few treat ments a higher than normal temperature is helpful. Tn rluce temperature for surgery and maintain it at the lower level, ice bags and im mersion in ice water have been Senate Committee Approves Seat Belts WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Senate Commerce Committee Tuesday has approved a House passed bill to establish federal safety standards for automobile seat belts sold across state lines. It would give the Interstate Commerce Commission power lo fix standards and to penalize belt manufacturers who violat ed them. generally used. These methods permit a "drift" in body tem perature which is potentially dangerous, Fuson and Stephen said. "Drift" in their machine is never more than four-tenths of a degree and usually is less. They've designed tube-filled blankets in varying sizes and shapes. The smallest is intended to wrap around an arm or leg, to cool (or heat) it independent ly of prevailing body tempera ture. Another is a head mask shaped something like football helmet which will cool only head and neck. Or a stomach can be "frozen" and . kept that way, (in the treatment of ulcers) while gen eral body temperature is main tained at normal. There are a number of safety devices built into the machine which prevent any damage to tissue either by freezing or burning. "The apparatus has been em ployed in more than 200 pa tients and has proved to be ac curate, efficient, and labor-saving, as well as trouble free," the surgeons reported.
