COUP. U.OF ORS.UBRAai la Tke Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS Today's Big Question: Will Governor Nelson Rocke feller's marriage on Saturday to a Philadelphia Main Liner divorcee spike his hopes for the Presidency of the United States? At the moment, it seems to be a moot question. A New York dis patch this morning says: "Republican leaders reassessed Sunday Gov. Nelson A. Rocke feller's political future in the wake of his marriage Saturday, and many now believe it will not harm him. A sample of political thinking just prior to the mar riage had shown many Republi can committeemen and women fearful that the marriage would hurt the governor's chances fori the Presidency. But since the' marriage the trend seems to be swinging the other way." A GOP state chairman in Mich igan thinks the marriage won't change his chances at ail. A New York GOP chairman says he re gards the marriage as a personal matter. A Wisconsin GOP na tional committeeman thinks it will create something of a furor for a few days, but won't have any long range effect. A lady GOP chairman in Colo rado puts it this way: "If he is going to be President, he needs a first lady. I don't see any polit ical harm in it. I say that if he's the nominee Colorado will go for him." The Democrats put it some what more succinctly. One of them sizes it up like this: "As far as I'm concerned, if Rockefeller is a candidate against John F. Kennedy any of these problems such as the marriage are going to be Academic any- wav, because Kennedy will COLOSSALLY defeat him." So there you have it. It all depends nn the point of view. This much we must admit: As a romantic character, Rock efeller will have to take second place to Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David Windsor. He GAVE UP A KINGDOM "for the woman I love." At the most. Governor Nelson Rockefel ler will give up only something he might not have got, anyway. ; Here's what Edwprd VIII gave up: On the death of his father George V, he became "by the Grace of God. of Great Britain Ireland and the British Dnmin inns Beyond the Seas. King. De fender of the Faith, Emperor of India." His father died on January 20. 1!)38, and Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David Windsor in the meantime had fallen in love with Wallis War field Simpson, an .

Western observers be lieved today. It was disclosed Sunday that the Russians had broken IB years of silence and said they found Hit ler's body in his Berlin bunker when they smashed into the Ger man capital. The official Soviet position here tofore has been that the Nazi lead er may have escaped and fled to Spain or Argentina. The Soviet admission w as made by Marshal Vasily Sokolovsky to Cornelius Ryan, American author, who recently completed a two- week study of tup secret archives of the Red Army's final assault on Berlin. Ryan's research is for a new book. Rvan is the author of "The Longest Day." the D-Day story of the Allied invasion of France June 6, 1944. (Ryan said in Paris on his ar rival from Moscow that the Rus sians told him how they dis)sed of Hitler's body, but he refused to elaborate. He said "You'll just have to read it in my book." Western diplomats, expressed surprise at the unprecedented So viet effort to make secret mili tary archives available to foreign researchers. One possible explanation was that the Soviet leadership has been extremely resentful of West ern accounts of the Soviet-German war, written almost exclusively from German sources. They now appear ready to make their own version available lo Western schol ars, especially in connection with the coming 20th anniversary of victory in " - Boards Plan Joint Meet The cilv elementary and high school boards of directors each ailed special meetings tonight. j May 6. and will also get toci ther (or a regular joint meeting dur ing the evening.

In what diplomats consider a major academic breakthrough. Ryan was permitted to interview all the surviving key Soviet com manders during the Battle of Ber lin except for the now-downgrad ed Marshal Zhukov. He photographed scores of clas sified documents and closely ques tioned about 50 top ranking offi cers including Marshals Ivan Ko- nev, Konslantin Rokosovsky and Vastly Chuikov. Sokolovsky told Ryan: "You should be informed the Soviet Un ion officially regards Hitler dead."
