Rockefeller Richest Man To Hold Public Office

By JACK V. FOX United Preu International NEW YORK (UPD—Nelson A. Rockefeller found out early in life he was going to have to make his own way. He got a 25-cent weekly allowance as a boy, supplemented it by shining the family's shoes and kept books which were inspected closely by his father and grandfather, America's first billionaire. Nelson is now governor-elect of New York at age 50. He scored a stunning victory over Averel W. Harriman despite warnings from friend; that it was foolish to try. “They told me a Rockefeller couldn’t hope to be either nominated or elected,” he says. “So I said to myself: ‘Well, let's find out? I believe the American people judge people by what they are, regardless of where they come from.” Rockefeller overcame the handicap of being a multi-millionaire in politics mainly by exposing i: . . . .

one of the warmest and most engaging personalities on the politi- ‘ cal scene. None Were Spoiled His family saw to it that Nelson and his four brothers and one ; sister didn’t become spoiled. “I was totally unconscious of 1 being a rich boy,” he says. “When we lived on the estate at Tarrytown, my brother Laurence and I had the shoe shine concession for the house. We got a nickel a shine. “We also had gardens to take care of and we'd sell vegetables to the family. We also had some rabbits and we sold them to the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research? Nelson’s grandfather also paid him for catching flies — 10 cents per hundred. He was closest to Laurence. They thought their names stuffy and called each other Dick and . Bill. Laurance is still 1 Bill to the ! family.

Nelson went to a “progressive” school in New York. When it came time for college, he chose Dartmouth as more democratic than other Ivy League schools favored by young men of his class. Taught Sunday School In college he favored sweat shirts and tennis shoes in attire. He ran out of money and recouped by working in the cafeteria. He taught Sunday School for little girls for four years. He ran for president of the junior Class and was beaten by a dark horse. A week atter graduation, he married Mary Todhunter Clark of Philadelphia, a girl with whom he had sailed and sward at the summer resort of Bar Harbor, Me. His father's wedding gift was a honeymoon trip around the world. But he came back to one of the toughest jobs imaginable. In middepression his father had stubbornly gone ahead with building the gigantic Rockefeller Center and the 23-year-old Nelson was given the task of getting tenants He plunged into it with typical energy, got himself involved in lawsuits when he bought up I leases of, companies in other and persuaded them to move. He brought Rockefeller Center up from a loss of 4 million dollars a year to an annual profit of 20 million dollars. ‘Taught Self-Help In 1935, as a director of Creole i Petroleum Co., he went to South ; America on a trip that shaped the ! course of his life. Nelson is sim- ’ patico with Latins and he was ; distressed by their terrible living conditions. He took a course in Spanish at Berlitz and returned two years later with a program of development and self-help which now is

He drew up a list of 1,800 Latin American firms trading with Ger- : many. It came to the attention of Harry Hopkins and then of President Roosevelt who named Rockefeller to head a department to combat Nazi influence there. Subsequently Nelson served under Presidents Truman and Eisenhower. He helped draft the Point Four program.

Youth Os West X Berlin Break' Up Red Rally Angered At Threats Os Blockade, Turn • Rally Into Fiasco BERLIN (UPD — Three thousand angry young West Berliners tried Thursday night to break up a Communist political rally in blockade-threatened West Berlin. Riot police kept them from mauling the Reds but the rally was turned into a fiasco. „ The Communists, targets of a stone throwing barrage and taunts of "traitor” and “down with the Communists,” returned to East Berlin later by devious ways to escape the wrath of the West Berlin youths. Some straggled home in the early hours today , Ironically the West Berlin police who prevented the West Berliners from mobbing the Communists learned their technique in training to halt Communist riots. There have been frequent clashes in recent years and the West Berlin police are masters of riot technique. Election Coming Up The Communists called the political rally in hopes of picking up votes for the Dec. 7 municipal elections in West Berlin. The Reds won 2.7 per cent of the votes in the last election z and are not represented in the West Berlin government. Five per cent is necessary to win seats under the City’s proportional representation system. About 8,000 Communists (attended the rally. Most of them were from East Berlin and betrayed their origin by automatically displaying their identity cards as they entered the building. The practice is not necessary in West Berlin. Communist speakers- echoed the Monday statement by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev that the Western Allies should give up their occupation rights in Berlin. Fear Crippltag Blockade The anger displayed by the West Berliners reflected their fears the Soviets might permit the East German Communists to impose a crippling blockade on Berlin—one far worse than that of 1948-49 when Allied planes clivjKith _ w This time the Westerners feared the Reds would close the air routes as well. The city already was checking its food stocks in event of emergency. The city government announced it had six to nine month stocks of coal, gasoline, sugar, flour, cereals, meat, milk, fat, potatoes and other goods for 2,- j 200,000 persons. One big fear was that any blockade would ruin West Berlin’s thriving economy. Food might be flown in but not supplies for industry. Man Is Jailed For Public Intoxication The city police arrested a former Adams county resident Thursday afternoon for public intoxication and placed him in the Adams county jail to await trial today in mayor’s court. Roy McClure. 67, of Ossian, was arrested by the city police at the intersection of Fifth and Monroe streets Thursday for public intoxication. He was taken to the Adams county jail pending hearing today in mayor's court. McClure received a fine of sls this forenoon, but was again placed in the county jail when he w a s unable to pay his fine.

Caril Takes Stand For Own Defense Will Present Own Version Os Killings LINCOLN, Neb. (UPD — Caril Ann Fugate, 15, today tells her story of how al frightened little girl tried to salve the lives of her family and wound up being charged with murder. This was Caril’s version of how she capie to accompany het boy friend, Charles Starkweather, 19, during the nine days last January which left 10 persons dead. The prosecution charges she was his willing accomplice. Defense ’ attorney J**nn McArthur planned to call Caril to tell her story of how she returned from school last Jan. 21 and found Starkweather, armed with a gun, hiding behind the door. Starkweather is awaiting a state supreme court ruling on his appeal from a death sentence imposed for the murder of Robert Jensen, 17, one of the victims. Caril is being tried for aiding and abetting in the slaying, and also is subject to the death penalty if found guilty. Starkweather said Caril heard the shot which killed her step father, Marion Bartlett, and saw him kill her mother, Betty, and her baby half-sister, Betty Jean. Caril said he told her the family was being held hostage, and that she thought their safety depended on her obeying Starkweather. During the following six days she remained with him at her home, turning away relatives and friends. Testimony by Caril’s grandmother, Mrs. Pearl Street, Thursday tended to bear out this story. Mrs. Street said she went to the Bartlett home Jan. 27, “screaming” to see her daughter, Mrs. Bartlett, and that Caril turned her away. "She started at me,” Mrs. Street testified. “She said. ’Go away. Grandma, go home. Grandma. Mama’s life is in danger if you don’t go away.’ ” She said Caril held her hand to her mouth, moving her finger “seeming to point to the corner (of the room!.” Caril peered around the shoulder of her attorney at her grandmother as the testimony was given. Earlier she buried her face in her hands and wept as her grandmother testified that Caril loved her baby half-sister and spent most of her baby-sitting wages buying clothes and toys for
