avoiding what could have been catastrophe Shows PowerOf Nixon By HAROLD MORRISON Richard Nixon has become in effect the uncrowned king of the Republican party The measure of his tremendous power within the partys hier archy is disclosed by the sudden decision of Nelson Rockefeller that he couldnt possibly stand up against the vicepresident in any headon dash for the partys presidential nomination The sandyhaired Rockefeller governor New York state is no political weakling And yet with all his campaigning ability and huge financial resources Rockefeller apparently concluded he hasnft ghost of chance of victory Key to his decisiontaken after months of probing the depths of Nixons political strength is contained in this part of his week end statement The great majority of those who will con trol the Republican convention stand opposed to any contest for the nomination GovGen oin Youth Plans OTTAWA CP Governor General Vanier Monday urged the countrys youth whom he described as

perhaps odd that Rocke fellcr should use the word con trol for this could lead oneto believe the convention at Chicago next my 25 will be in the nature of political fix with its outcome well known beforehand KING MAKERS What Rockefeller probably was thinking is that Ihere are cer tain fig with tremendous power in the party and that these have disclosed themselves as on the side of Nixon One man who has not publicly shown any favoritism is President Eisenhower but Nixon his suclt cessful running mate in two elec tions has become known as an fEisenhower man publicly de fending Eisenhowere programs and policies Through his personal popular ity with the public Eisenhower undoubtedly could exert influence on possible successor when he steps down as twptam Repubi lican standardvbearer Apparently from Rockefellers Suggests rr viewpoint it would seem that if iscnhower did any political loan it would be to the viceprea idcnt rather than the New York state governor N0 CHALLENQEE 0n the national horirnn there is no one in sight with sufficient strength to challenge or dispute Nixons power among Republi Cafll Though Nixon at 46 is five years younger than Rockefeller the California lawyer is apolit ical veteran with 14 years of na tional political experience Rockelt teller entered state politics only year ago it seems that Nixon wasted no time in his seven years as vice president That he did his politi cal homework well and that lot of the top men in the party feel indebted to him This together with his popular ity with the populacEwlll make Nixon tough man to beat in the presidential election next Nov Hospital Assn Announces Plan TORONTO CPLTho Ontario Hospital Association announced Monday contributory pension plan for Ontario hospital employ ees under its
