Rockefeller Visits Chicago; Picks Up A Little Ground

Police Probe
Ter's Death
SPOKANE AP) What hap
pened before a young sailor stag
gered bleeding onto a lover's lane,
tried to speak and fell dead?
Police were trying to untangle
the puzzle Monday as they investi
ited the shooting death of Gary
Moretz, 18.
Moretz apparently was shot in
the back and chest about a half
hour before he staggered mortally
wounded to a car parked in Liber
ty Park before dawn Sunday. A
couple in the car told police the
youth tried to talk before he died
.Moretz had been at a drive-in
restaurant earlier with former
classmates. He told one he
planned to go home.
Officers could find no apparent
motive for the s 1 a y i n g. The
youth's wallet was untouched.

after establishing a beachhead
from which he could battle Vice
President Richard M. Nixon for
Midwestern support for the Re
publican presidential nomination.
Rockefeller made no sweeping in
roads during a two-day stay here
on the strong support Nixon com
mands in thf Midwest.
But the New York governor
gained a little ground in meetings
with newspaper executives and
Republican leaders. Several con
ceded that, while they were not
sold on Rockefeller, they were im
pressed by him and would not
rush into any final decision on a
presidential candidate.
Rockefeller met Tuesday night
with several prominent Midwest
em businessmen at the exclusive
Chicago Club. The list of guests
was kept secret but it reportedly
included some of the top contrib
utors to GOP campaigns.
The Rockefeller forces hope this
foot in the door will expand into
a full-fledged Rockefeller for
president boom . in the Midwest.
The Chicago visit was the first
of a series Rockefeller plans into
politically-strategic areas through
out the country.
He will visit California. Oregon,
New England and probably Wis
consin next month. His approach
probably will be the same it was
in Chicago speeches on top na-

and education.

While the Nixon-Hoekcfcller
contest grows increasingly more
prominent on the national political
scene. Rockefeller insists "I am
not now a candidate."
But Chicago treated him as a
candidate.
The New York governor pro
vided ample ground for this view.
He told a meeting of the Inland
Daily Press Assn. Tuesday that
he plans to speak in various parts
of the country on such topics as
foreign affair, national defense.

The Farthing Hot Worth ... A Farthing

Mental Patient
Dies In Hospital
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) - In
1IIII3, while Grovcr Cleveland was
president, Miss Emma McDaniel,
then 32, was admitted to a men
tal institution.
Last week she died there after
66 years without receiving a
single visitor or letter.
Records show she was commit
ted lr "simple melancholia."
Staff doctors in 1941 described
Miss McDaniel as a "very nice,
quiet, agreeable old lady."

issued a report that sneered at
the little coin of the realm as a
"sporadic irritant" and one that
wasn't worth the bronze it was
minted in.
J. H. James, the Queen's secre
tary of the treasury, also hinted
the farthing may not be long for
a world in which it can buy ab
solutely nothing.
A farthing is worth one-fourth
of a British penny, and a British
penny is worth about the same
as an American cent. Before
World War II a farthing could
purchase up to two matches. Now
it cannot even buy a toothpick.
"Farthings may have finished
their useful life," the treasury
secretary said.
The 203,5110,000 farthings jan
gling uselessly in British pockets
may meet their doomsday along
with Britain's entire, mixed-up
coinage system.
James said once again Britain
is humming with plans to sweep
away the pound, shilling and
pence system that complicates
adding machines annd taxi meters,
annoys bookkeepers and frightens
tourists.
He said the British Assn. for
the Advancement of Science and
the Assn. -of British Chambers of
Commerce were studying the pos
sibility of adopting the decimal
coinage system.
James noted that "nearly every
important nation" in (he world
has followed the American exam
ple of using the decimal system
of coinage. Canada and India
went over to the decimal system
and South Africa is toying with
the idea.
