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.

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.
