For the Record

Big vote for Eugene McCarthy in New Hampshire may tip Nelson Rockefeller toward dove position on Vietnam. Retired peace candidate Gen. James M. Gavin backs Rockefeller, saying “our views are very, very close.” But Rocky has nuclear realist Herman Kahn working for him, too, as well as usually tough-minded Henry A. Kissinger. . . .McCarthy has Kennedy aide Richard Goodwin—and more and more compliments from RFK. . . . Meanwhile, Bobby is in solid with Mexican-American grape-pickers. He chartered a plane from L.A. to Delano, Cal., just to watch United Farm Workers organizer Cesar Chavez break his 25-day fast.

First phased cutback of U.S. government personnel abroad due April 1; second phase, deadlined Aug. 1, may cut largest embassy staffs by 30 per cent and close down some consulates altogether. Reason: “balance of payments.” . . . Kingsley Martin, who preceded John Freeman as editor of leftwing New Statesman, told London Times that Freeman, Harold Wilson’s new ambassador to Washington, is “far too good a diplomat not to leave his politics behind.” . . . Harold Wilson is fourth Most Villainous Man of the Century, according to Sunday Times readers’ poll. (1st: Hitler; 2nd: de Gaulle; 3rd: Stalin.)
