For the Record

Under pressure: Former Gov. Robert Meyner of N.J., to run against Republican Senator Clifford Case. At stake: not so much senatorship—Democrats expect to lose that—but seats of half a dozen freshmen Democratic congressmen who came in on LBJ landslide ; could lose out in backwash if Democrats don’t field popular senatorial candidate . . . Democratic freshmen congressmen will be getting full support of White House in their tight races. LBJ has given Hubert Humphrey his Sept, and Oct. marching orders—he’s to take to the hustings and push hard . . . Politicos interested in watching which candidates HHH will help : which will turn to the Kennedy frères. . . . Aides of Jacob Javits and George Romney already working on possible Rom- ney-Javits combo for the GOP in ’68. What about Nixon? No go, says Javits ; it would be “ungracious” to run on a ticket with someone about whom Javits has said unfriendly things in the past . . . When UROC (United Republicans of California) last week elected a number of Birchers to important posts, they predictably embarrassed Ronald Reagan who will now be insistently asked for comment.

When Alex Quais on-Sackey, former Pres. of UN General Assembly, returned to Ghana after Nkrumah ouster he was tossed in hoosegow, released, and reincarcerated. Who got him out ? Little Johnny Stout, in this case, turns out to have been the U.S. Ambassador to Ghana. Accra sources indicate Quaison-Sackey may have been involved in The Redeemer-type high finance . . . Problem; when Marshal Tito put it to Pres. Nasser last week that it was time for another conference on the non-aligned, Nasser pointed out that of prominent non-aligneds, Nehru was dead, Sukarno in Outsville, Nkrumah in exile, Ben Bella in jail . . .The Swiss Government, in its annual report on world politics, said it would not at this time ask for admission to the UN because membership has more “drawbacks than advantages.” (As a neutral in WWII Switzerland was not considered a “peace-loving” nation and hence not invited to join UN at its inception.)
