FOR SHE RECORD @
Scared of Richard Nixon? Not at all, say Rockefeller strategists. They’re worried about Ronald Reagan. They see Reagan candidacy as replay of 1964 —a big conservative win at convention, followed by major bust on Nov. 8. (Question: will Eastern Republicans, if beaten at Miami, do the broken record bit in 68?) . . . Quandary: Nixon keeps proclaiming he’ll be through unless he wins big in first two primaries. Should liberals unite to try to defeat him in New Hampshire, Wisconsin when that might have effect of uniting conserva- tives behind Reagan? Maurice Stans, Eisenhower’s former Budget Di- rector, inaugurating new “Committee of One Million’—one million Americans to put up one buck for Nixon candid- acy . . . Hubert Humphrey in for new headaches at home. Minnesota Young Democratic-Farm-Labor organization has bolted national Young Democrats because “they are puppets of the Ad- nuinistration.” . Finance Magazine poll of 400 top executives finds 65.1 per cent expect Johnson to win. But their preference is: Nixon first (31.5 per cent), Rockefeller second (23.6), Johnson third (11.2) . . . Complicating matters: Herbert F. Hoover (distant cousin of late President) has just filed to run in New Hampshire Republican primary as peace candidate. @
