Most fascinating political tidbit of the hour: Harry S. Truman is quietly exploring possibility of draft to head Truman-Kennedy ticket. He reportedly has drummed up some opinion surveys to support contention that such a ticket would beat Nixon decisively. (Truman dislikes Nixon slightly more than he dislikes Stevenson) . . . Barry Goldwater last week won support for Vice President in poll of Republican County Chairmen taken by Human Events; and also won V-P endorsement of all 450 college delegates to a Midwestern Young Republican meeting held in Des Moines April 9.
Flow of dope from Red China to Cuba to the United States seriously alarming narcotics officers here. . . . Red China, incidentally, has extorted huge sums from the many Chinese in Cuba with families still on the mainland. . . . Puerto Rican Communists getting Castro support in their independence agitation, much of which now centers in Puerto Rican colony in Harlem.
