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.

Dirksen Offers Proposal

accounts of World War II may
follow the Russians' claim that
they recovered Adolf Hitler's
burned body in Berlin at the end
of the war. 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
