'You'd Better Come In, Mr. Nixon! These
New York Electrical Storms Con Be
Pretty Bad!'
EDSON IN WASHINGTON
fcdikfibcd (paqsi
Few seasoned political observers doubt
that the presidential bug still is biting Rich
ard M. Nixon, despite his most ardent pro
tests of disinterest in the 1964 Republican
nomination.
Both Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona,
:the present front runner, and New York's
"Gov. Nelson Rockefeller are political real
Isls and they say they think Nixon is a
candidate. Many another politician believes
the same.
There can be no question that certain
aspects of Nixon's situation "position" him
for such consideration.
lie is the middle-road man always ac
ceptable, on paper at least, to both conser
vative and liberal wings of his party. This
would have been an immensely strong point
for him had he won the California governor
ship last fall and gained that great power
base.
i Not having gained it, he moved to New
York. He could not have hoped thereby to
find a new power footing. What he did seek
was a chance to get into the brighter spot
light which shines on politicians operating
in the Washington-New York orbit.
This he has managed. The public prints
are currently alive with accounts of Nixon's
views and doings. He is getting talked about.
He is trying to cast his influence over pub
lic discussion of the great issues and to af
fej:t the tone of his own party's efforts.
f. Yet it is one thing to say Nixon is inter
ested and available, quite another to argue
that the Republican party might nominate
him in 1964.

Goldwater's fund-raising dinner

Phillips saw the light. And on
a visit to Washington in March
he was persuaded to get into

His contention is that the plan
of the Mississippi Democrats to

Phillips charge Is that Johnson

Kennedy at the time James
Meredith Mas admitted lo the
University of Mississippi. So the
picture Johnson used in his pri
mary campaign showing him
defying tlie United Stales Mar
sluils was, in Phillips words,
"just rooster fighting."
To prove his case he has been
quoting from I lie partial trans
cript published by Newsweek of
the Kennedy llarnctt John

has a chance lo defeat the long

Nothing in politics is so fixed or so sci
entific that one could fairly rule him out of
altogether. Convention deadlocks are ex
tremely rare. But if the 1964 GOP conven
tion at San Francisco got into some kind
of stalemate, it might in its extremity turn
to Nixon as a man palatable to all wings.
' Nevertheless, the likelihood of this hap
pening is not great. The basic reason is
that a high proportion of GOP professionals
are quite disenchanted with him.
Their recriminations against him for
alleged political misjudgments in the 1960
campaign linger on and on. Some of this
bitterness, it now appears, existed covertly
in the years up to and including 1960
at a time when these professionals were
publicly lauding Nixon.
The deep source of this attitude seems
to be their inability to warm up to Nixon.
In 1960 their disgruntlemcnt was founded
more practically in the fact that Nixon re
fused to listen to them but insisted on pur
suing what they saw as an inflexible course
toward defeat.
On top of all this lies wide conviction
that, since he lost to President Kennedy in
a year when maximum advantage appeared
to rest with Nixon, the former vice presi
dent would only be beaten more easily an
other time. They have little taste for a Kcn-ncdy-Nixon
rerun.
Surely Nixon's name will continue to
be high in public notice in the big political
months to come. But there is no evidence
that it is high in either the hearts or the
minds of Republican president-makers.
Phillips hardest is the charge in
full - page advertisements that
he was a "moderate." The acl
carries quotations of earlier
years counseling moderation on
race questions and accusing him
of voting for Adlai Stevenson in
11)52 and '5li. Yes. Phillips says,
making a clean breast of il. I
did vote for Adlai Stevenson.
What is worse, in llMfl I voted
for Harry Truman. And so, he
adds, did Paul Johnson, but he
w ill not have the courage lo tell

The slogan of Ihe opposition

have to be born a Southerner
lo understand how sinister is
Ihe word scalawag a term ap
plied lo the Quislings who co

Bui Phillips turns the knife by
charging his opponents w i t il
borrowing the slogan Irom
Khrushchev.
He assails tlie one-party sys
tem. He says this is why Mis
sissippi is No. 12 among the 12
Southern stales in per capital
income and in almost every oth

CINCINNATI This is prob
ably the nation's largest Repub
lican city, if consistency is a
gauge. It is also the citadel of
Talt sentiment. The late and
great senator is not orgoltcn,
and his disciples are evory

make Cincinnati a natural (or
Sen. Barry Goldwater.
And if you talk to rank-and-lile
Republicans, as well as to
those in Ihe working echelons of
the party, Ibis is so. But Cin
cinnati is also a great industri
al and commercial center. The
corporations that dominate it
bear names like Kroger and
Proctor & Gamble. Among
those who contribute to the Ohio
GOP's coffers arc men like
Neil McElroy. one of President
Eisenhower's defense secre
taries. It is among these people that
Mr. Goldwater has yet to find
enthusiastic backing. Not that
they prefer Gov. Nelson Rocke
feller. Far from it. In this part
of the country. Rockefeller sen
timent is notable only for its ab
sence. But or non-ideological
reasons, what may be called the
"Cincinnati interests" have not
yet c o 1 1 o n e d lo the Arizona
front-runner. This, of course, is
not unanimous. According to re
ports, George Humphrey, Mr.
Eisenhower's first Treasury
secretary, is devotedly in the
Goldwater corner.
But by and large, reports sti
port this explanation lor Ihe
aforementioned reticence in de
claring for Mr. Goldwater.
Among those not yet committed
to the Goldwater candidacy.
Iherc is a tendency to scak in
somewhat nostalgic terms of

they could influence him more

wrong, but they thought of him
as llicir creature.
It is generally conceded, how
ever, that when the Ohio delega
tion is counted during the con
vention's first tally, it will vote
exactly as G o v. James Rhodes

cards.
What is so significant is the
UNICEK officials not only do
not deny that they are operating
with the Communists, but that
they defend this cooperation.
Goldwater Facing
Problems In Ohio
of this writing neither Mr. Rock
efeller, Mr. Nixon, nor the two
together can muster sufficient"
power to block the Goldwater
candidacy.
Therefore, practical consid
erations should compel the Ohio
governor and his brilliant slate
chairman to make their play
fast. At the moment, Ihey can
be cozy about it, although pres
sure mounts within tlie Republi
can organization or a pro-Gold-water
declaration. What inhib
its them from acting is a very
live recollection of tlie 1958 elec
toral fiasco in this slate, a re
sult of a labor gang-up on the
"right-to-work" issue. No one in
Ohio wants a repetition of this
except the Democrats.
What puzzles the politicians,
and the political reporters cov
ering this area of Ohio is the
significance of tlie Negro issue.
Almost to a man, they relcr
to il as Ihe "hidden issue" and
Ihey wonder jusl how much
damage to the Democratic Par
ty in the stale the civil rights
confrontation has done. Ohio's
state lows cover most of what
the President hopes to get na
tionally in his civil rights pack
age. But the punitive aspects of
this state legislation are (or the
most part, a dead letter. Any
attempts to enforce them would
be most violently resisted by la
bor, the mainstay of tlie Demo
cratic Party.
Senator Goldwater's position,
since it rests on a belief in
slate option, is ironically t h c
closest to the labor position
here. Governor Rockefeller's
stand, since it is considered a
carbon copy of Mr. Kennedy's,
is lo compound the irony the
most removed from that of or
ganized labor, particularly in
the powerful craft unions.
The imponderables being
faced by the lop brass of the
Ohio GOP therefore boil down to

pressure of the middle and lower
echelons for an endorsement of
Senator Goldwater; will they

after all. the answer to their
prayer for a winning candi
date? Governor Rhodes and his
slate chairman work in tandem
and Mr. Bliss is known lo take
some very accurate soundings of
voter response. For this reason,
Ohio is a state to watch as Ihe
time for choosing up sides draws
nearer.

Speaking of Sen. Maurine Neu

"I can understand a Senator
Eastland (Mississippi reaction
ary) and I can understand a
Senator Hart (Michigan ultra
liberal). But I can't for the life
of me understand what could
put a woman together to make
her a senator."
The president of a woman's
organization recently wrote Sen.
Ken Keating. R-N.Y.. asking
him to suggest a possible
gucH speaker for a luncheon.
She noted:
"We've just had the privilege
of hearing a renowned historian
who has told us the past, and
we've had a distinguished eco
nomist who told us the future.
Now only the present is confus
ing. Whom can you recom
mend?" Keating promptly wrote back:
"If jou ever come up with a
guest who can fill this bill. I'd
like to attend myself just to lis
ten." great Western nations have so
long confronted the outer world
while conservatism has ruled in
London.
There is, moreover, a very hu
man issue involved here. By and -large
the Conservative party in
Britain stands for Ihe conserva
tion, among other things, of old
values and traditions whose loss
would be a great pity if not a
moral catastrophe in a West al
ready far too infected with A
vulgar, two-bit, cynicism and
a spirit of rejection of such an

Already. Ihe Labor parly is
