For the Record

Watch what happens to UnderSec/State Thomas Mann. ADA demands his dismissal. Mann is credited with persuading President Santo Domingo operation was necessary. . . . Roger (Two-China) Hilsman, former Assistant Secretary of State in Kennedy Administration, and prominent Dove, has joined ranks of LBJ critics. (Our new policy in Vietnam is “driving the newly emerging nations into alliances with Communist nations,” etc. etc.). … Spot check of last week’s Worker, and its West Coast sister, People ‘ s World, indicates official U.S. Communist press now giving foreign policy about 80 per cent of its space (replacing civil rights as major CP drive of the hour).

Campaign straws: Democrats, GOP Liberals, dumbfounded that Spenser Roberts & Associates has taken account of Ronald Reagan, who ’ d like to run against California Gov. Pat Brown next year. Significance: Spenser Roberts press-related Sen. Thomas Kuchel’s successful ’62 campaign and Kuchel is the Liberal GOP J s last best hope to stop Reagan. . . . Rumors flying around Washington that Democrats—who think they could beat Rockefeller in N.Y. next year if they get any name figure at all—have been knocking on Sec. of State Dean Rusk’s door. ( Complication: Rusk worked for Rockefeller Foundation for years before he was tapped for State.) . . . If all else fails, there’s always FDR Jr., now head of patronage-rich Equal Opportunity Commission. . . . N.Y.’s Conservative Party announces it will have a candidate—still unnamed—in the Rockefeller race also. . . . Farthest Out Rumor of Them All: That Supreme Cour’t Justice Potter Stewart is getting restless, might resign from Court to enter politics, with eye firmly fixed on #1 slot.
