Nixon Hoping To Knit Together
Strong GOP Team For 1960 Backing
By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON, MB—'Vice Pres
ident Nixon is gambling his repu
tation as a crack campaigner on
a last minute revival of Repub
lican chances in the current cam
paign.
For Nixon, the outcome of next
Tuesday’s voting is likely to have
a direct bearing on his chances
to win the Republican Presidential
nomination in 1960.
If the Vice President can claim
credit for having rescued some
Republican candidates from the
abyss of what looks to others as
a potential Democratic landslide,
he will have reinforced his repu
tation as the kind of a campaign
er who could win if he were the
party’s standard bearer.
But Nixon’s stature could be
reduced by the defeat of any sub
stantial number of the GOP can
didates for whom he has cam
paigned.
Nixon has insisted that a Re
publican upsurge within the last
10 days will bring some surprise
GOP victories.
Whatever. happens in the elec
tion, however, Nixon believes his
campaigning has been worthwhile
on at least two counts.
The first and most important
of these is his contention that the
kind of vigorous bushbeating he
has done has helped reknit a Re
publican Party organiztion that
was raveling badly at the seams
in many states.
There remains no doubt he has
been able to draw crowds and to
steam up party worker enthusi
asm where local candidates have
encountered apathy.
These candidates, grateful for
the opportunity to show them
selves 'before larger crowds, do
not begrudge Nixon’s seizing ev
ery opportunity to link himself
to the local organizations for his
likely 1960 Presidential nomina
tion bid.
Nixon’s second major accom
plishment, as he views it, was
his role as the personal instru
ment in raising campaign funds.
His aides put the total thus far
at $1,150,000. Of this amount,
nearly half was raised at party
rallies during the tour he just
completed.
Both parties have found money
hard to come by in this campaign,
and Nixon’s efforts on this score
are not likely to be forgotten m
1960.
As an indication of how serious
ly he takes his Presidential pros
pects, Nixon is going to be the
first top-flight aspirant to visit
Alaska in the campaign.
The Vice President’s personal
explanation of this trip to the
prospective 49th State, however,
is that the Republicans must sal
vage at least one of the Senate
seats there if they hope t9 regain
control of the Senate in 1960.
Saturday he will fly to Juneau.
He will spend the night at An
chorage and fly to Fairbanks
Sunday for an appearance there
Monday before returning to
Washington. Mrs. Nixon and their
two daughters are expected to
accompany him on the trip.
Matson Liners Plan
Alaska Schedules
SAN FRANCISCO, UP)—Cruises
from San Francisco to Alaska by
the Lurline and MatSonia are
being considered to fill gaps in
their sailings to Hawaii, a Matson
Navigation Co. spokesman said
Monday.
“Since Alaska achieved State
hood, its attractiveness as a tour
ist destination has been en
hanced,” the spokesman said.
He added that studies of port
facilities are being made and that
if such ’cruises are scheduled
they would be in late spring or
early fall.
Each of the vessels carries 700
passengers.
F.B.I. Chief Hoover
Undergoes Factual Study
By N. Y. Newspaper
WASHINGTON, UP) — Is FBI
Chief J. Edgar Hoover to be the
subject of “a character assassina
tion” or of “a complete and bal
anced report?”
Preston J. Moore, national com
mander of the American Legion
charged in a statement that a de
liberate smear campaign has been
launched against Hoover and the
FBI. He described it as “similar
to the Communist Party’s unsuc
cessful efforts of 1940.”
He said reporters of the New
York Post have been assigned to
dig up material to reflect on Hoo
ver in what he described as “ob
viously a far flung . . . attempt
to do a character assassination job
on Mr. Hoover.”
Editor James A. Wechaler of
the Post said that paper is pre
paring a factual study of Hoover
and added: “We are interviewing
a .wide variety of sources in many
places in an effort to obtain a
complete and balanced report.”
