THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, December 29, 1959 --Rockefeller's Withdrawal Leaves Nixon At The Helm By HAROLD MORRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer Richard Nixon has become, in effect, the uncrowned king of the Republican party. The e of his tr One man who has not publicly shown any favoritism is President Eisenhower but Nixon, his suc- cessful running mate in two elec- tions, has become known as an ""BEisnphower man," publicly de- poyer within the party's hier- archy is disclosed by the sudden decision of Nelson Rockefeller that he couldn't possibly stand up against the vice-president in any head-on clash for the party's presidential nomination. The sandy-haired Rockefeller, governor of New York state, is no political weakling. And vet with all his campaigning ability and huge financial resources, Rockefeller apparently concluded he hasn't a ghost of a chance of victory. Key to his decision--taken after months of probing the depths of Nixon's 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." 1t is perhaps odd that Rocke- feller should use the word "con- trol," for this could lead one to believe the convention at Chicago next July 25 will be in the nature of a political fix with its outcome fending Eisenhower's programs and policies. Through his personal popular- ity with the public, Eiserhower undoubtedlv could exert influence on a possible successor when he steps down as a two-term Repub- lican standard-bearer. Apparently from Rockefeller's viewpoint, it would seem that if Eisenhower did any political lean- ing, it would be to the vice-pres- ident rather than the New York state governor. NO CHALLENGER On the national horizon there is no one in sight with sufficient strength to challenge or dispute Nixon's power among Republi- cans. Though Nixon, at 46, is five years' younger than Rockefeller, the California lawyer is a polit- ical veteran with 14 years of na- tional political experience.

Dennis enlisted in the RCEME last September as an apprentice to a trade course given to 16 - 17 year old boys at Barriefield, where they can continue their education and learn the trade of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering in the Army at the same time. Den- nis is very enthusiastic about the course, basic training is a little tough but the results are what count, Albertan Gets 'Guilty's' Letter CALGARY (CP) -- The Al- bertan has received a letter signed '"'the guilty one" which savs Robert Raymond Cook, 23, is not his father's slayer.
