Rockefeller Career Like a Yo-Yo
By John L. Considine
ALBANY. N.Y. — (UPI)— Nelson A. Rockefeller's political life has been five years of ups and downs.
Rockefeller snatched the New York gubernatorial nomination from Leonard Hall, one of the GOP's most astute politicians, and went on to beat incumbent Democrat Averall Harriman until then his only government job had been appointive.
REPUBLICAN LEADERS hailed Rockefeller as the party's "new knight on the white horse" and a man certain to windup in Washington.
Rockefeller soon learned,however, one major political victory—no matter how impressive—isn't necessarily a ticket form Albany to Washington.
LESS THAN a year after becoming governor, Rockefeller travelled from coast to coast. He made speeches and attracted large and enthusiastic
crowds. And he talked with party leaders behind closed doors.
Following a trip to the midwest and a meeting with top Publican leaders, Rockefeller returned to the executive mansion crestfallen. On Dec. 26, 1959, he issued a statement, saying:
"These trips have made it clear to me, as I believe they have to others, that the great majority of those who control the Republican convention stand opposed to any contest for the nomination. Therefore, any quest of the nomination on my part would entail a massive struggle—in primary elections throughout the nation—demanding so greatly of my time and energy that it would make impossible the fullfillment of my obligations as governor of New York."
FROM TALKS with the party chiefs he got the message—Richard M. Nixon would be nominated for President.
Col. Richard L Clutterbuck British Liaison Officer at the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, will speak on the "Defeat of Communism in Malaya," at 8 p.m., Wednesday in the Kansas Union.
British Officer to Talk On Malayan Warfare
Col. Clutterbuck was personally involved in the defeat of the Communist guerillas in Malaya, which lasted from 1948-1958. The insurgency was put down by the combined efforts of the British Army and the Malayan government.
Col. Clutterbuck is also a playwright and a novelist.
In World War II he served with the Royal Engineers in the British Army in France, Ethiopia, Tobruk, El Alamein, Tunisia and Italy. After the war he was located in Trieste, Palestine, Germany, Malaya, Aden and on Christmas Island where he participated in the last four British nuclear tests.
Col. Clutterbuck is being sponsored by the Political Science Department. He will return to London to take up new duties in the War Office shortly after his KU appearance.
Nerves, hardening of the arteries and fats in the blood apparently are all bound up in a cycle that causes strokes and heart ailments, such as coronary thrombosis, both in humans and baboons.
ical Works of St. Louis, said his laboratory had used rabbits and chicks in experiments which could not be transferred wholesale to humans. He said a group of scientists in Louisiana were more successful with baboons.
A "BREAKTHROUGH" in knowledge concerning the development of circulatory and heart diseases was forecast by Baeder who also was hopeful for discoveries in treatment and, perhaps, prevention.
"The results would seem to indicate that the baboon develops fat-containing arterial lesions on a low fat diet in its native habitat," he said, "and may be an exceptional animal for research in arteriosclerosis.
"We have an abundant supply of experimental material from which to begin to study this animal in a very systematic manner," Dr. Baeder said.
"THE OVER-ALL incidence of this disease cannot be correlated with diet, environment, race, disease or stress."
Baeder said the baboon, by its very nature, lends itself to experimental stress situations under highly controlled conditions. Experiments, he said, might show whether stress aggravates hardening of the arteries and hastens the formation of a scar in the artery.
He said if scientists can arrive at an understanding of the mechanisms of the scar and the effect of the fatty substances in the blood on clotting and the incident of coronary thrombosis, "perhaps we would be in a position to sit down and draw out rational approaches to drug therapy."
BABOONS, BAEDER said, develop fatty substances (cholestrol) in their blood like men and the baboon's central nervous system closely resembles that of man.
Dr. David H. Baeader of St. Louis, at the first international symposium on the baboon and its use as an experimental animal, said baboons were suitable because they spontaneously develop hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis).
SAN ANTONIO, Tex. — (UPI) — Baboons may soon stand-in for humans in an "agonizing reappraisal" of every method of research into ailments of blood vessels.
