Gov. Herter Convinced Ike Prefers Nixon Agreed To Nominate Nixon On Assurance Os Ike Preference BULLETIN WASHINGTON (UP) — , Harold E. Stassen announced today that he will launch a new nationwide poll next week to "re-valuate” the relative strength of Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Gov. Christian Herter of Massachusetts. — Stassen, who Is boosting Herter instead of Nixon for the GOP vice presidential nomination, made the announcement after a breakfast conference with Republican national chairman Leonard ' W. Hall. WASHINGTON. (UP) — Gov. Christian A. Herter was reported today to have agreed to nominate Vice President Richard’ M. Nixon only when convinced that President Eisenhower wanted him to do so. Credible evidence behind this report was one more indication—if any was needed — that Mr. Elsenhower had no sympathy for Harold E. Stassen’s project to subsitute Herter for Nixon on the 1»56 GOP ticket. Stassen, White House disarmament adviser, sent up his political skyrocket Monday despite earlier ..indications that Mr. Eisenhower would be glad to have Nixon renominated. It fiza'ed a day later g when Republican national chairman Leonard W. Hall announced that Herter, governor of Massachusetts. would place Nixon’s name In nomination at the GOP national “ convention. . -■ It wag understood that Herter sought and got assurance that Mr. Eisenhower wanted him to make the convention nominating speech ——for Nixon. However, Stassen remained determined to press his campaign for Herter He told newsmen Wednesday night he would call it off only if the Presidnt makss it unmistakably clar that Nixon is the dei'J’ ■ /aired ' "" S-a/SS .• Stassen aiso said he had decided ' -two weeks ago to' launch a public ? campaign for Herter. He said he had'so advised the Massachusetts governor, who had neither encour- * aged nor discouraged the idea. Other sources expressed doubt that Herter understood that Stassen planned to undertake a public campaign. They believed only that Herter was aware that Stassen intended to take some soundings and perhaps even to talk to Mr. Eisenhower, as he did last Friday. Friends of Herter believe he is nomination if—but only if—Nixon available for the vice presidential should step out or be pushed out. They are convinced that he wants no public campaign in his behalf and that he. as a staunch Eisenhower supporter, was much' embarrassed by Stassen's proposal. Stassen quoted Herter as saying that he “would do what the Republican convention and the President wanted "him to do.” He also said that private polls, to which he previously had referred, had tested the relative strength of eight possible vice presidential candidates and that they showed Nixon giving the least strength to the ticket. The eight included Nixon, Herter and himto identify the other five, self. Stassen said, but he declined Stassen adso refused to identify other Republicans who, he has said, are supporting his proposal. But he did say that he expects them to identify themselves before the GOP convention opens Aug. 20. While there may be a number ol Republicans who- would like to dump the controversial vice president, few can be expected to declare themselves publicity unless they are convinced that Mr. Eisenhonver does not want Nixon renominated. 1 The President may speak out - himself next week. It was announced that he probably will hold * a news conference, his first® since his intestinal operation last month, —■=- next Wednesday.
