Rockefeller Has Strategy for 1964 But He Must Stop 2 Tough Foes
871
WASHINGTON -(UFI) - Among the three front runners for the next Republican presidential nomination, the man with the plan is Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York.
The governor's political plan is as neat as a bride's hope chest. His strategy is fixed for 1961, 1962 and 1964. Not as much nor even close can be said for the political strategies of former Vice-President Richard M. Nixon and Arizona's Sen. Barry Goldwater.
This situation favors Rockefeller with considerable advantage as of now in the race for the 1964 presidential nomination. Rockefeller's advantage, however, lies more at home than abroad; at home being New York City and state, abroad being most of the other states of the union.
The governor's 1961 program is to do what he can to foster the troubles now afflicting the Democratic Party in New York City. Democratic Mayor Robert F. Wagner will seek reelection this autumn. His administration has been marred by numerous scandals of varying degree.
The mayor and Tammany Boss
Carmine G. De Sapio is feuding. Their feud is one among many within the city's Democratic organization. Wagner's re-election effort evidently will be challenged in the Democratic primary. All of this adds up to serious trouble for the ruling party in New York City. It adds also to a promising situation for Rockefeller, whose plan for 1962 is to be re-elected governor of the state of New York.
Among the governor's recent contributions to the troubles of New York City Democrats was a report by the State Investigation Commission on the city's school building program. The commission said June 30 that there had been "incalculable waste of the taxpayers' funds." More specifically, the commission alleged corruption, inefficiency and incompetence against the Wagner administration's school building operatives.
On the plus side for Wagner, the splinter group Liberal party has endorsed his re-election candidacy. And there always is a chance, of course, that he will escape a primary challenge. The situation favors Rockefeller, however, with the possibility that a Republican might be mayor of New York City in 1964 when phase three of the Rockefeller strategy takes over.
Phase three is to obtain Rockefeller's nomination for president. To bring that off, Rockefeller must get some breaks abroad. That is where Nixon or, perhaps, Goldwater must and may stop him. They could stop him in combination more readily than singly and in opposition to each other. It might work out that way. A Nixon-Goldwater combination would be formidable.
Meantime, both Nixon and Goldwater seem to be playing it by ear. Goldwater is the flashiest, most sought-after performer on the Republican roster. Many persons regard him as the most exciting personality in U.S. politics. But, where does he go from there?
Nixon is better known and also considerably sought. But he lacks a forum. He might get a good one by defeating California's Democratic Gov. Edmund G. (Pat) Brown for governor. The election is next year.
New Skirts Wider at Hemline According to Latest NY Report
NEW YORK—(UPI)—Watch the shape of skirts when you do your fall and winter clothes buying.
They are wider at the hemline than they've been in several seasons. They also are just as short as they have been all spring and summer; kneecaps are barely covered.
That width comes mostly from new flared shapes, which are New York designer versions of a silhouette the House of Dior featured in its spring and summer 1961 collection. The flare begins low, starting either from a lowslung waistline or at mid-thigh in daytime clothes. In long formals, the flare begins at the knee.
DISAPPEARING IS THE OVAL-shaped skirt. The new clothes include slender-looking skirts spread into an easy-to-walk width by deep, unpressed panel folds at the front or sides. In party clothes, the skirts themselves hang straight to the hem, then finish off in a flurry of ruffles, tucks, or bands of fur.
But designers also featured many pleated skirts beneath hip-length jackets or long overblouses.
Designers have not deserted the classic straight skirt which is a favorite with Mrs. John F. Kennedy. It shows beneath a dozen jacket variations. Favorite: the semi-fitted jacket, with sleeves ending just below the elbow, collar set far from the neck to leave space for chunky costume jewelry.
ACTUALLY, THE WAISTLINE wanders all over the mid-section or is missing altogether. In some dresses, a wide panel defines the natural waist. In others, there is a fit through the midriff, but only a seam, no belt.
What designers have done to the waistline rates next in importance in the new fashions.
In still others, the waist is dropped three or four inches below normal, especially in the highly-popular overlouse silhouette for fall. In some instances, the dress is fitted to the front of the bodice only; the back swings free and flares out away from the figure.
Soviet Troop Move Means 44% Increase Over U.S.
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The U.S. armed forces will be outnumbered almost 50 per cent by the Russians because of Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev's cancellation of troop reductions.
The Soviet decision apparently means that Russia's armed forces may maintain a strength of 3,623,000 men, compared with 2,517,000 men planned for U.S. forces by next July.
The difference of 1,106,000 men would leave the Russian military machine 44 per cent larger even if Congress approved the 25,000-man U.S. increase requested by President Kennedy.
Khrushchev's decision, announced in a speech last weekend, came at a time when top Pentagon leaders were beginning to feel the United States and Russia had approached a

Hong Kong Student Gets Travel Grant
stage of "parity" in military manpower.
The Soviet Premier did not make entirely clear what strength the Russian forces would retain.
Yi-No Tang, a graduate student from Hong Kong, has received a travel grant from the Asia fund of the American Chemical Society.
Tang is a graduate of Chung Chi College in Hong Kong and has attended KU for two years. He is now conducting research on tritium reactions in alkylhalydes under the direction of Dr. Frank S. Rowland, who recently was appointed a Guggenheim Fellow.
The grant will defray transportation costs for the recent Society meeting in St. Louis, Mo., which Tang attended.
In January, 1960, he said these forces would be reduced from 3,623,000 to 2,433,000 over a period of "a year or two."
Last weekend he said "the Soviet government was compelled to instruct the Defense Ministry to suspend, temporarily, pending special orders, the reduction in the armed forces planned for 1961."
This left unclear whether any reductions already had taken place.
Pentagon leaders, who said American plans will be reviewed on the basis of Khrushchev's announcement, may feel that secret U.S. intelligence reports provide a better estimate on the size of Russia's forces.
Deputy Defense Secretary Roswell Gilpatric told a news conference recently that "if you compare all the forces with the military units we think the Soviets have, we are not in terms of military manpower alone very far behind the Soviets."
Gilpatric added: "Then if you add in the satellites and other bloc countries and you take our allies, the military equation—in terms of manpower is not very lopsided."
Strode Gets Office In Education Group
Khrushchev also disclosed an increase amounting to $3.5 billion at the official rate of exchange in Russian's military budget for this year.
Prof. Willard D. Strode has been elected vice chairman of the architectural engineering division of the American Society for Engineering Education. The honor came at the annual meeting last week of the society in Lexington, Ky.
The most wasted day of all is that on which we have not laughed. — Sebastien Camfort
Chairman of the division is Prof. Gifford H. Albright of Pennsylvania State University.
Professor Strode has taught at KU since 1955.
