From Washington Straight

Governor Rockefeller’s blast at the GOP right wing just prior to the Governors’ Conference has stirred up a hornet’s nest in Capitol Republican circles. Rockefeller’s denunciation was so intemperate that even many. Republican Liberals were appalled. Republican offices on the Hill were quickly flooded with calls and telegrams demanding that Rocky be read out of the party. The attack placed Rocky in the same boat with the New Frontiersmen and Liberal smearmongers who are trying to pin the racist label on the Goldwater movement. If Rockefeller had deliberately chosen to infuriate 90 per cent of the party, he could hardly have chosen his words with greater efficacy.
