SAN FRANCISCO t UP i — Vice
. President Richard M. Nixon came
here today for a face-to-face show-
down-with Harold E. Stassen’s still
. sputtering, movement, to dump him
off the GOP.ticket. -
Nixon’s supporters planned a big
■ airport demonstration for his-ar-
rival from Los- Angeles, followed
by a motorcade into downtoujp
San Francisco where Nixon was
to go immediately into a caucus
of the California delegation.
But. the undaunted Stassen, who
arrived late Friday, set out in
earnest • to further: his ay-owed ef-
fort to replace Nixpn on the ticket
.with Massachusets- Gov. Christian
A. Heeler.
. Stassen set up shop, in the St.
Francis Hotel and sattl he still felt
‘■encouraged” about his movement
despite, almost solid opposition of
Republican leaders. .

be booked-on a percentage cieat

Stevenson also plans to make lib-

Former President Tnnnan, who
wanted neither Stevenson nor Ke-
fmivcr on the ticket, publicly em-
braced both and predicted they
will give the Republicans as good
a licking in November as they
gave him at the convention.
Stevenson began his acceptance
speech with words of reassurance
to those Democrats who had
qualms abotit renominating a one-
time laser, and those who felt that
he waged too "lofty” a campaign
four years ago. -
"Fom-.years ago i did not seek

lie said. Tiii.r time, as you may.
have noticed, it was not entirely
unsolicited. And there is another
big difference. That time we lost,
