One Eye on the Big Prize
wor^ where the hard political realists
dwell, Richard M. Nixon will be very much a pros-
pect for the 1964 Republican presidential nomina-
tion if he wins the California governorship.
They brush aside his flat 1964 disavowal, The
history of United States presidential candidacies
is strewn with the fragments of such pledges,
“Good heavens, that’s no barrier,” one tough
appraiser is known to have said privately. “When
the time comes, it will be the Californians them-
selves who will demand that Nixon run.”
In a 1962 California victory they see these
clear presidential advantages for him:
• He would get fresh political currency and
a kind he could never get from a law
office or even steady appearances on party fund-
raising platforms.
• He would gain a forum from which to speak
out on national issues, while avoiding too-close
involvement and the handicap of a specific record
on matters of national importance. Mostly he would
be stepping only on California toes.
© He would be virtually assured of command
ofjhe second largest block of delegates—80 to 90-
° • ^7at the 1964 convention, Quiet missionary work
might add substantial numbers from nearby western
states, many of which voted for him in November
1960.
• Reasonable focus on his Sacramento iob
would provide him with a perfect excuse to avoid
1964 presidential primary competition.
If the other leaders then should plunge the
GOP into shattering combat, Nixon would be ready
on the sidelines, untouched, the center man perhaps
able to draw party factions together.
^ can be said unequivocally that this aspect of
1964 strategy has not escaped the thinking of Nixon
and his close associates.
There is no question that some of these points
have their darker reverse side.
California’s immense problems will demand
heavy attention. And even though in mid-1963 it
will become the nation’s most populous state, it suf-
fers the drawback of great distance from the big
policy-making centers in Washington and New
York. California leaders often take rueful note of
this.
Then, too, the waiting game Nixon must play
has its dangers. If New York’s Gov. Nelson Rocke-
feller or Arizona’s Sen. Barry Goldwater should run
up a victory string in the primaries, Nixon would
(have no course but to sit 1964 out or jump in be-
latedly on an unequal footing.
Nixon is moving, say the professionals, in the
(way he must to keep the big prize in sight. But none
envies him the difficult maneuvers he must make,
first to capture his “California base,” and then to
use it well for the contests that lie beyond.
People who take no interest in their govern-
ment shouldn’t condemn complacency toward ham-
burgers in cows.

gress was sweating out the clos- pern and: Alfred Santangelo of
ing days of the legislative jam,
10 congressmen, instead of being
on hand to vote, had nothing bet-
ter to do than wait three hours
to see Elizabeth Taylor in Rome.
In the end she wouldn’t see
them. She was as busy shooting
her new picture, “Cleopatra,” as
they should have been in Wash-
ington.
The 10 congressmen were tra-
veling partly at the expense of
the Italian government, partly at
taxpayers’ expense, to celebrate
the 100th anniversary of Italian
unification. When they arrived in
Rome, however, they lost little
time in heading for the 20th Cen-
tury-Fox lot ito see the English
beauty who is playing the part of
Cleopatra.
Three hours after reaching the
set they were still waiting. Final-
ly they gave up.

Nixon’s Pattern of Emisarries
Republicans are in a quandary
as to which Republican to believe
as beltween ex-Vice President Nix-
on and ex-Gox. Goodie Knight
in the latter’s charge that a Nix-
on emissary offered Knight any
job he wanted to stay out of the
California gubernatorial race.
In making their decision, they
can’t forget two other instances
in which Nixon, used emissar-
ies.
One was ex-Congressman Oak-
ley Hunter of California, Nixon’s
emissary to Jimmy Hoff-a who
arranged teamster support for
Nixon last November in return
for holding up Hoffa’s indictment
for taxes in . Orlando, Fla.
The other was Charley Willis,
formerly on the White House staff,
with Max Ribb, secretary of Ike’s
cabinet who acted for Nixon in
getting Congressman Adam Gay-
ton Powell to come out for Ei-
senhower in 1956. Following this,
moves were made to drop Pow-
ell’s income tax case.
The Hoffa-Nixon deal was ar-
ranged by ex-Congressman Hunter
at a meeting with Hoffa at the
Americana Hotel in Miami Beach.
Afterward Hunter wrote an, eight-
page letter to Nixon, so there
can be no denying what happen-
ed.
“After my meeting with you,”
the Republican ex-congressman
wrote the then, vice president,

Trio Hacks Door, Flees

MEMPHIS, Tex. (fP) — Three
men held on burglary charges
escaped from the county jail in
this Panhandle town.
Sheriff Bill Baten said llhey used

entering the room immediately
took off his coat as if to indicate
that he was not recording our
conversation. I reciprocated by
removing my coat also.” (This
was to show neither had a hidden
recording device.)
“We then got into a discussion
of what Hoffa expected from the
government as far as he and his
union were concerned and what
he might do for the political
candidates whom he favored. . .
Hoffa stated that an outright en-
dorsement of you would most like
ly do more harm than good. H<
recognizes that he is ‘hot’. . ,h(
feels that open endorsement o:
local officials of his union in cer-
tain cities would' definitely bene-
fit a candidate. . .
He declared himself perfectly
capable of fighting his own bat-
tles ... he did say thalt he had
one specific request which he felt
was deserved ... he felt that
Judge Dickinson Letts, the fed-
eral judge to whom the monitors
answered, should be taken out of
the case . .
Hoffa lived up to his part of
the agreement, had his teamsters
discreetly support Nixon,, proba-
bly tipped the scales in the state
of Ohio. But after the election,
the Justice Department indicted
Hoffa in Orlando anyway. This
brought another letter from the
Republican ex-congressman to
Hoffa, on Dec. 8, 1960.
“I was sorry to hear of the in-
dictment against you in the Orlan-
do matter,” Hunter wrote1. “I
know for a fact that your side of
the case was put before the vice
president and,, he discussed the
case with the attorney general,
Bill Rogers.
“It would be my surmise„sthat
Bill Rogers acted as he did for
reasons of his Own,” Hunter add-
ed. “Mr. Nixon having lost the
election, I doubt that he.li&s since
decisive degree of influence.
Adam Clayton Powell’s Case
In the Adam Gayton Powell
case, the Harlem, N.Y., congress-
man first went direct to Nixon in
the late summer of 1956, offered
to support the Republican ticket
and rally the Negro vote for Ei-
senhower. Thereafter, two trusted
emissaries handled the matter.
Max Rabb, secretary of the Ei-
senhower cabinet, and Charley
Willis, former assistant to Sher-
man Adams. They went to New
York, arranged for Powell to
come to see Ike, make a state-
ment from the steps .of the White
House calling on Negroes to vote
Republican.
Powell was to get around $50,-
000 for campaign expenses, and
his secretary, Hattie Dodson, then
in the federal penitentiary in Al-
derson, W. Va., for income tax
evasion, was to be released im-
mediately. She was released Oct.
17.
After the 1956 election, the Jus-
tice Department sent word to the
U.S. attorney’s office in New
York to forget about the' Powell
grand jury which had been meet-
ing on Powell’s tax case, but a
rebellious assistant U.S. attorney
and a runaway grand jury indict-
ed Powell anyway.
It Occurs to Mo.....byunmui?
COACH RAYMOND Haas said
last week the boys had proved
to him they wanted to play win-
ing football and' for that reason
the Ducks should take Rockdale.
This week he puts it a little
differently. Says he, “We-r’e go-
ing to win if we can.”
Seriously, I know some fans
werg terribly disappointed over
last week’s loss. It was a big
upset. But a (team that domina-
ted the statistics like Taylor did
is capable of bursting loose with
all kinds of touchdowns.
So, although the Ducks are
underdogs against Cameron,
don’t expect the Yoemen to run
Taylor out of the park. Depend-
ing on the degree of desire the
Ducks evidence, it just might
turn out to be one whale of a
game. We know the Taylor lads
are capable.

TCU doesn’t list Jan Mtihel or
Darrell Mott as probable start-
ers for the TCU Wogs when
they play the A&M Fish at
College Station Thursday at 7:30

However, both should see
plenty of action.
Taylorites were saddened to
learn of Budgie Ford’s shoulder
separation, knocking him out of
the game.
Several local people are still
planning to see the game, I
understand.
WHEN WE HAVE a rabies
alert, I worry mostly about the
little kids.
I have visions of a tittle boy
or girl who don’t understand
what it’s all about walking up
to and patting a strange dog,
one that (turns out to be rabid.
Adults and older children, pro-
perly informed, generally are
able to cope with the situation.
Anyway, be on the lookout,
especially in East Taylor where
the rabid skunk was found. Par-
ents would do well to try to ex-
plain it all to their smaller
children.
WHEN THE MASTER of cere-
monies, John Smith, introduced
Why Grow Old
Mayor R. E. Kollman at the
National Guard barbecue, he
said he was calling on a man
who was giving up “a sizable
chunk of the population.”
Sounded tike a friendly dig
at His Honor for the remark he
made when the census report
revealed Taylor didn’t have 10,-
000 people. He said he had
wanted to be mayor of a town
of 10,000.
So now he’s losing 72 more
citizens, maybe more, depending
on how many wives and child-
ren go to Louisiana.
Kollman brought home one
civil defense note in his talk.
“As civil defense director, I
don’t know what we’d do with-
out you (the guardsmen) in case
of disaster.”
CONGRATULATIONS are in
order to Erwin Teggeman on
his promotion to captain and on
the fact that he will soon be-
come the new commanding of-
ficer of Company B.
If the way the officers and
men acted at the barbecue was
any indication, Teggeman will
be another very popular leader^^
The news was received witth^B
enthusiasm to say the least.
At one of the annual meetings
of the American Home Economics
Association, some fascinating pa-
pers were read and interesting dis-
cussions held concerning lifetime
nutritional needs. This survey of
research was published, in The
Journal of Home Economics.
Dr. Ruth M. Leverton, now As-
sociate Director of the Institute of
Home Economics, The U.S. De-
partment of Agriculture, present-
ed an illuminating paper, “Nutri-
tion in Adolescence.” Miss Lever-
ton, while calling attention to the
deficiencies in teen-age eating
habits and the importance of cor-
recting mistakes .approved her
subject with tolerance1 and un-
derstanding.
She calls our attention to the
fact that noit ALL teen-agers eat
incorrectly, and that there are
probably more poorly fed adults
in the world than poorly fed ado-
lescents, more overweight adults
than teen-agers and more adults
who follow fad diets.
Any of us who have been in
contact with teen-agers knows
from experience -that -this is the
time of greatest appetite, be-
cause this is the time when most
food is needed. The nutritional
requirements of boys is greater
a-t this time than -at any other
in their lives. The same is true
of girls, except during later per-
iods of pregnancy and lactation
• • • By Josephine Lowman
of the essential foods in later
teen years -than in the earlier
ones. As a whole, the boys do
better than the girls. Many stu-
dies have shown that ascorbic
acid (vitamin C) and calcium are
most likely to be deficient in
diets of both boys -and girls, and
that girls are apt to be low on
iron intake.
While calcium and vitamin C
are widely distributed in foods
in varying amounts, milk is the
most dependable source of cal-
cium and the citrus fruits are
rich in vitamin C.
Teen-age girls are extremely
figure conscious. I know that from
the letters I receive from them.
If they are fat, they are un-
happy and self-conscious about it.
If they are not fat, t-hey often
think they are or will be over-
weight. The wish to be popular
may prod them into poor eating
habits because they do not use
good judgment in their choice of
food when trying to control their
weight.
Fine nutrition is important to
teen-agers NOW. As Miss Lever-
ton suggests, we seldom mention
its relation “to gracefulness and
rhythm, to smooth, firm muscles
and restrained curves.” In other
words, fine nutrition is import-
ant to beauty.
Good nutrition is important all
through a person’s life because
strong ally for the man in his
career, and for the woman when
she accepts the responsibilities of
motherhood.
If you would tike to have my
leaflet, “Popularity,” which is
planned for the teen-age group,

envelope with your request for
