For the Record

After Chicago: Don’t look for any important fourth party movement on the Presidential level. Eugene McCarthy won’t play, neither will John Lindsay, whom New Party leader Marcus Raskin had wanted as New Party Veep. Raskin and other Democratic drop-outs say they’ll turn their energies now to supporting peace candidates on local levels . . . Teddy Kennedy, who stands to pick up the marbles in ‘72 if HHH fizzles at polls in ‘68, is expected to announce his formal endorsement of Humphrey in next couple of weeks which will make him a team player, in contrast to McCarthy . . . Washington columnist David Broder, a shrewd political analyst, says at this moment Nixon is leading in electoral votes, Wallace is second, Humphrey third . . . Latest Gallup shows 37 per cent of people believe Republican Party is best equipped to handle major problems confronting nation as against 25 per cent who prefer the Democrat . . . Richard Nixon busy darning rents in GOP. Craig Truax, former chairman of Pennsylvania Republican State Committee, sidekick to liberal Republican Senator Hugh Scott and grand inquisitor of N.J. “ratfinks,” has been named National Field Organizer of United Citizens for Nixon-Agnew . . . Nixon headquarters has done nothing to deny persistent rumors that if Nixon is elected Nelson Rockefeller could be his Secretary of State . . . Rocky, incidentally, has urged Senate to delay action on the nuclear non-proliferation treaty because of Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. Good show.

Rennie Davis (National Mobilization Committee), one of leading Chicago agitators, says New Left should prevent both Nixon and Humphrey from campaigning; he calls for formation of a National Liberation Front in this country. . . . Mike Klonsky of SDS is urging McCarthy supporters to join ranks, but warns that it will “have to be on New Left terms.” . . . National Committee to Abolish HUAC somehow has concluded that HUAC was responsible for Mayor Daley.
