Rocky's Machine No Help Against Barry
By Harry Ferguson
WASHINGTON—(UPI) —There is an old saying that in war the Lord is on the side of the biggest battalions, but it is doubtful whether Nelson Rockefeller would agree.
He has a staff that is organized like Supreme Allied Headquarters in World War II and there is hardly a patch of soil anywhere in the country that some Rockefeller partisan has not trod in search of votes and delegates.
Money and men help presidential aspirants, but they don't guarantee victory. Sen. Margaret Chase Smith did fine in the Illinois primary on a total expenditure of $85. Rockefeller headquarters here estimates the governor spent $90,000 in the New Hampshire primary alone. And lost.
John A. Wells, campaign director in the Rockefeller headquarters in New York, is a generalisimo commanding a far-flung army. He has a communications man, a press man, a TV-radio man, a finance man, a contact man and a man in charge of state organizations. He has Janet Tortellotte heading women's groups and Jackie Robinson heading special committees.
It is a big machine, well oiled with dollars, but the public opinion polls consistently indicate that the Rockefeller Rolls-Royce is going to have to pick up speed if it is going to wind up in San Francisco a winner.
When a person is asked to explain Rockefeller's problem, the glib answer is that his divorce and remarriage is too heavy a load for him to carry.
UNDOURTEDLY HIS private life is a factor, but each passing day indicates there is another big boulder blocking his path to the nomination—Barry Goldwater.
The senator has been building up his own organization, and almost every day brings a news release from his Washington headquarters announcing the appointment of another man or woman. But Goldwater can build 24 hours a day and still not match the Rockefeller organization in size and financial resources.
Whether Goldwater was aware

of it or not, he began running for president in 1954. That was the year he was elected for the first of two terms he has served as chairman of the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee. It is a job that calls for travel to all parts of the country, and it provided a political education for the senator.
The odd fact about Goldwater is that in the public opinion polls his popularity seems to be on a slow but gradual decline.
THAT IS A PROBLEM he can postpone worrying about His target for today is convention delegates pledged to stay with him for at least the first ballot. He needs 655 of them and some political prognosticators believe he already has 524, although there is a little bit of counting chickens before they are hatched in those estimates.
What is running heavily in Goldwater's favor is the unwillingness or inability of his opponents to form any sort of coalition that can deny him the nomination on the first ballot.
Once the first round of balloting is over, many delegates will feel that they have discharged their
