NIXON S CAPABILITIES BELITTLED, KENNEDY
GANGED UP ON BY HUMPHREY SUPPORTERS
(By The Associated Press)
Talk of a stop Kennedy move
ment flared in West Virginia yes
terday at the same time talk of
a stop Nixon movement seemed
snuffed in New York.
In West Virginia, political ob
servers wondered whether a host
of Democratic presidential candi
dates had thrown their support to
Sen. Humphrey in the state’s May
10 primary.
Their aim to help the momen
tum of Sen. Kennedy’s drive to*
ward the party’s nomination. He
and Humphrey are the only can
didates entered in the primary.
In New York, Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller opposed circulation of
a letter that belittled the quali
fications of Vice President Nixon
for the presidency. Some Repub
lican supporters of Rockefeller
had signed the letter.
Nixon, in San Francisco to open
the ibaseball season told a news
man he was not disturbed by the
letter and, in fact, thought it
might add spice to the campaign.
Aldai Continues to Draw Support
Adlai Stevenson continued to
draw support for the Democatic
nomination despite his repeated
statements that he is not a can
didate.
■The question of a possible gang
up on Kennedy in West Virginia
was raised by former Rep. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt Jr., (D-NY), a
Kennedy supporter.
Roosevelt said Kennedy “was
running against the combined “op
position” of Humphrey, Steven
son, Sen. Lyndon Johnson and
Sen. Stuart Symington.
Kennedy echoed this at a news
conference in Charleston.
“Sen. Humphrey and I took the
risk of defeat by entering,” he
said. “It seems to me that I’m
entitled to run against one op
ponent.”
In Washington, Sen. Robert C.
Byrd (D-WVA) bolstered the view
that at least some Humphrey sup
port was coming from those more
interested in hurting Kennedy
than helping Humphrey.
Humphrey denied any gang up.
Rockefeller Supporters Will
Cause Trouble At Convention
Although Rockefeller deplored
and disavowed the anti-Nixon let
ter in New York, there were still
some faint rumbles hinting that
Nixon might have a fight at the
Republican national convention.
In Salt Lake City for example,
Sen. Henry Dworshak iR-Idaho)
said, “There’ll he some excitement
at the convention, you wait and
see.”
“Not from Rockefeller himself,
but from Rockefeller supporters,”
he added.
Although the 1952 and 1956
Democratic nominee denies he is
a candidate, Sen. Mike Monroney
(D-Okla) said his survey of other
candidates showed that they be
lieve Stevenson is the man most
likely to win the nomination if
they don’t.

Castro Refuses to
Return Two Shot
Down U.S. Fliers
By GEOFFREY GOULD
WASHINGTON, W—Fidel Cas
tro’s Cuban government has re
jected an American plea to re
turn two American fliers shot
down in Cuba after a sneak flight
from Florida.
The State Department, disclos
ing this Monday, announced also
its own rejection of three Cuban
protests on other matters.
At the time the two fliers were
arrested, Cuba said they were
trying to spirit out of the country
a former agent of ex-President
Batista, who was deposed by Cas
tro’s revolution.
U.S. authorities later said they
obtained a statement from one of
the American fliers, William J.
Schergales, 35, that Castro’s re
gime cooked up the flight to em
barrass the United States.
Cuba’s refusal to return the
men heightened Washington sus
picions on this score. Cuba said
Schergales and Howard Rund
quist, 33, are subject to Cuban
court action for a crime against
Cuba.
One of three U.S. notes deliv
ered to Cuba spurned a Cuban
protest over a new U.S. clamp
down of helicopters to Cuba.
The U. S. reply said a policy
was begun two years ago of close
ly studying all Caribbean arms re
quests. It said arms shipments
had been denied to Batista before
Castro.
“It was the profound hope of
the United States that with the
establishment of the present gov
ernment of Cuba, peace and tran
quility would be restored to the
Caribbean area,” the note said.
“This hope has not been real
ized.”

Unemployment Largest
This March Than
Since World War II
WASHINGTON, I**—-Unemploy
ment jumped 275,000 in March,
the biggest increase for a March
since World War II. Employment
declined by 253,000.
The Labor Department report
ing these figures, blamed the
darkened job picture almost en
tirely on heavy snows and gen
erally bad weather in March. It
predicted a sharp rebound in
April.
Employment dropped from 64,
250,000 in February to 64,267,00G
in March. Normally, employment
increases during March by about
450,000.
Unemployment rose from 3,
931,OGO to 4,206,000. Normally, the
idle total declines by about 180,
000 in March as compared with
February.
The figures meant that 94.6 per
cent of all Americans seeking
work had jobs in March, but that
5.4 per cent of job seekers couldn’t
find employment.
Largest Embezzlement
In The World Laid To
Los Angeles Crontractor
LOS ANGELES, IIP)—A heating
contractor has been sentenced to
25 years in prison for an em
bezzlement termed by prosecutors
“the largest in the nation, if not
the world.”
John A. Hendrickson, a heating
contractor, was accused of mis
appropriating $3,714,610 from the
fo’-mer Long Beach National Bank.
He denied it, was convicted by a
jury, and later admitted his guilt.
Sentence was passed Monday.
U.S. attorneys said the nation’s
biggest embezzlement came to
light when George Albert Hew
lett, an official of the bank, com
mitted suicide. In his garage in
vestigators found 83 checks,
ranging from $15,000 to $25,000
all payable to Hendrickson.

South Dakota Senators
Push Secty. Seaton As
Nixon Running Mate
WASHINGTON, IP) — Secretary
of Interior Fred Seaton got a vice
presidential boost from South Da
kota’s two Republican senators
today.
Sens. Francis Case and Karl E.
Mundt suggested the 50-year-old
Seaton would make a good run
ning mate for Richard M. Nixon
should the latter be named the
GOP presidential candidate.
North Dakota's delegates to the
GOP national convention in Chi
cago this July were instructed to
back Seaton for the ticket’s No. 2
spot. The Nebaska GOP state con
vention also adopted a resolution
endorsing Seaton for the post.
Seaton has said he isn’t seek
ing the nomination.
Weather Satellite Snaps
Tremendous Cloud
Formation Over Pacific
WASHINGTON, IP)—America’s
weather-eye satellite has photo
graphed a tremendous cyclonic
cloud movement in the middle of
the Pacific — far bigger than
earth,bound weathermen knew
was possible.
The whirling clouds covered an
area 2,000 miles across.
William Stround, Tiros I Satel
lite project manager, said Monday
it was the largest cyclonic cloud
movement ever observed.
Cyclonic movement is the term
meteorologists use to describe any
circular or spiral air movement.
In this case it does not refer to
the kind of violent, localized
cyclones, hurricanes or tornadoes.
Tiros radioed back its pictures
from 450 miles up.
