For the Record

Republican insiders not surprised by refusal of NYC Deputy Mayor Robert Price to manage Nelson Rockefeller’s gubernatorial campaign. Rockefeller should have expected turndown on two counts, they say: 1) Price, who masterminded John Lindsay’s last few campaigns, has reputation to protect: he’s never lost a race, and 2) Rocky and Lindsay are already deep in battle over who is to control GOP in New York. Senator Jacob Javits, now being touted as possible Republican Vice Presidential candidate in ’68, probably will end up doing the honors …. Mayor Jerome P. Cavanagh of Detroit not certain exactly how valuable that endorsement he received from Jimmy Hoffa is going to be. Cavanagh has entered Democratic senatorial primary against G. Mennen (Where’s Soapy?) Williams, who has the support of most other Detroit Big Laborites.

Now it’s being told: From Lagos it’s reported that the assassination of Pres. Sylvanus Olympio of Togo a year or so ago, dismissed as an unfortunate outcome of a student riot, was planned by Nkrumah and carried out by Jacob Fulani, a Ghanaian soldier of fortune …. Radio Ghana reports that thirteen Chinese guerrilla experts who had been training African insurgents in a military camp in the Ashanti forest of Ghana have been expelled . . . . Six months after a tentative armistice was signed between Republicans and Monarchists in Yemen (read it: between Egypt and Saudi Arabia) the Egyptian expeditionary corps in Yemen reportedly had only increased from 60,000 to 87,000 men . . . . Sidelights on Rhodesia: Belgium has joined Holland and Luxembourg in total ban on importation of Rhodesian goods …. Ian Smith, meanwhile, has lifted all gasoline rationing restrictions on tourists.
