Nixon's Decisions Get GOP Approval
By United Press International
Republican leaders across the nation expressed approval of Richard M. Nixon's decision to run for Governor of California in 1962.
The former Vice President surprised virtually no one last night by announcing his plans to enter the California gubernatorial derby. His candidacy in that election had been predicted by many GOP leaders.
BUT THERE were more than a few raised eyebrows when Nixon tossed in the added declaration that he has no intention of seeking the Republican nomination for President in 1964.
However, neither announcement drew a response from President Kennedy.
In Newport, R. I., where the chief executive is vacationing, Kennedy's Press Secretary Pierre Salinger declined comment when asked for a White House reaction to Nixon's decision.
Members of Nixon's,own party were not so reticent.
SEN. BARRY GOLDWATER, a leading contender to succeed Nixon as the Republican candidate for the Presidency, said the announcement didn't "surprise anyone."
The Arizona Senator said he had advised Nixon he would "have to run in California and win if he was to retain a voice in the Republican Party."
Goldwater had no comment on Nixon's announcement that he would not enter the presidential race.
New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller, who also is considered a likely candidate for the GOP presidential nomination in 1964, had no immediate comment on the former Vice President's announcement.
HOWEVER, political observers predicted Rockefeller might issue a statement at a news conference later in the day. The governor is on a tour through key western New York communities.
Alf M. Landon, the 1936 Republican presidential candidate, said Nixon's decision strengthens Rockefeller's hopes for the 1964 nomination.
"As of now, it leaves Gov. Rockefeller a clear field," the former governor of Kansas said. "It is too early to be sure, though. A lot of things
