Republicans Shaping Strategy,
And Democrats IMan Campaign
By the Associated Press
Republicans swung into their:
drafting of a 1960 platform yes
terday while Democrats shaped'
strategy for the campaign ahead. |
GOP National Chairman Thurs
ton B. Morton set out guidelines
for the 109-member Republican
Platform Committee gathering in
Chicago for its opening session.
Morton called for a pledge to
aid in building a better America—
but not the “lifelong Garden of
Eden” he said the Democrats had
promised at their just-concluded
Los Angeles convention.
New York’s Gov. Nelson Rocke
feller was on hand to give his
views, too. His fellow politicians
were eyeing him for more than
just what, he might say about the
platform.
Rockefeller came out for a civil
rights plank he said should go
even further than the Democrats’
proposal. He favored a ban on
racial discrimination in any busi
ness operating under federal lic
ense and support for sit-in dem
onstrations against segregation in
Southern eating places.
But he kept wrapped in mys
tery his plans for the nominat
ing, which gets under way next
week. He gave little encourage
ment to supporters pushing him
as a long-shot contender against I
Vice President Richard M. Nixon !
lor the party’s presidential nomi
nation.
In Hyannis Port, Mass., Demo
cratic nominee John F. Kennedy
was resting up and quietly mov
ing to smooth over party trouble
spots before the campaign gets
into swing.
A problem for Kennedy shaped
up in Mississippi, where Gov.
Ross Barnett recommended that:
his state bolt the Democratic
party and back a third-party can
didate for the White House.
Barnett termed the new Demo
cratic platform “so horrible, so
repulsive, so obnoxious, and so
contrary to our form of govern
ment, I don't see how the people
of the South can accept it.” Bar
nett would have no part of the
GOP ticket, either.
Treasury Secty. Anderson
Desparages Democratic
Economic Platform Plank
CHICAGO. (iB—Secretary of the
Treasury Robert B. Anderson said
the Democratic platform calls for
an economic growth rate “built on
quicksand.”
He urged that Republican plat
form drafters avoid aping the
Democratic planks on economic
matters.
"We do not seek economic pro
gress by unnecessarily enlarging
government and thereby limiting
individual choice,” he said.
In his statement prepared for
the 103-member Platform Com
mittee, Anderson hit at Demo
cratic calls for lower interest
rates and for a Federal Reserve
Board more responsive to the
wishes of a President.
The Democratic platform calls
for an average annual growth
! rate of 5 per cent—about double
i the recent average.
“Goals relying on faceless
statistics or arbitrarily forced
rates of growth arc built on
quicksand,” Anderson said, and
growth cannot be achieved thru
a magic formula or “by trying to
better percentages instead of
people.”

New Japanese
Premier Aligns
Self W ith the W est
TOKYO. l/Pi—Japan’s new pre
mier, Hayata Ikeda, aligned his |
government firmly with the West
ern democracies yesterday. He re
jected a foreign policy of neu
trality and pledge to work for
greater prosperity at home.
In his first news conference
since succeeding Premier Kishi,
Ikeda also:
1. Criticized Kishi’s tactics in
winning parliamentary ratifica
tion of the controversial U. S. -
Japanese security treaty.
2. Proposed interparty meet
ings to improve relations between
his own Liberal-Democratic party
and the Socialist opposition.
3. Advocated restoration of nor
mal relations with Red China and
more cultural and economic ex
change with the Red mainland.
“I will not adopt a neutralist
policy,” he declared. “I will slick
to the alliance of the H'c......
free nations.”
His criticism of the treaty rati
fication apparently was aimed at
Kishi’s summoning of police into
parliament to quell rioting by the
Socialists. “The use of violence
against violence must be avoid
ed,” he said but did not indicate
what he would have done.
MacMillan Warns Russia
War Can Result From
Their Present Policy
LONDON, I/P — Prime Minister
Harold MacMillan Tuesday warn
ed Soviet Premier Khrushchev
that the world may slip accident
ally into nuclear war il' present
trends in Soviet foreign policy
continue.
In a personal message to the
Soviet leader, MacMillan declar
ed: “I simply do not understand
what your purpose is today.”
The British leader’s note ac
companied a governmental reply
to a Soviet complaint last week
that Britain is conspiring with
the United States in violating So
viet air space.
The government note to the
Kremlin rejected the Soviet
charge and joined with the United
States in declaring that the So
viet Union itself had endangered
world peace.
MacMillan said the downing of
the American RB47 plane by the
Soviet Union July 1 constituted
an “unprovoked attack” of an
extremely dangerous kind.
