Rockefeller's Move May Put Nixon On Spot By LYLE C. WILSGN United Press International WASHONGTON (UPD — Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller’s bombshell withdrawal from the contest for the Republican presidential nomination may put Vice President Richard M. Nixon in a bad spot and on the defensive. The challenging key words in Rockefeller's weekend statement were these: "The great majority of those who will control the Republican convention stand opposed to any contest for the (presidential) nomination.” “The great majority of those who will control the' Republican convention!!!!" In Other words, the Republican pros, the Republican grass roots and state machines, the party bosses! The governor said that these—a comparatively few men and women, at most — have made up their minds that they do not want a contest. And that's that; they want Nixon. Resentment May Mushroom The governor did not say that a great majority'of the members of the Republican Party would prefer that the vice president be nominated for president without opposition. A statement of that kind would have boomed Nixon into the nomination so surely that it scarcely would have been neces- ' sary to have a convention. There are elements in the Republican Party likely to be resentful and aggressively opposed to the situation now stated by Rockefeller to be a fact within thefr party that the grass roots and state professionals oppose a contest for the presidential nomination. If this resentment catches fire there could be a go-for-broke movement to nominate Rockefeller anyway. The governor said his decision was definite and final. Politicians, however, have a certain poetic license. For good or ill, Rockefeller’s statement tagged Nixon as the handpicked choice of the party who even opposed giving any other Republican an opportunity to contest the nomination in convention balloting. The Machine Choice? Except in the instance of the Brenomtoiatw Os a president, that has not Seen the American political way. Nixon’s solo position as as an aspirant for the Republican vice presidential nomination in 1956 was seized upon by the Democrats as a campaign issue. The Democrats called their own an open convention in contrast to the Republican convention which they said was closed. The Democrats could have a better issue on open-closed conventions in 1960. That would be if Nixon came out of the Republican convention tagged by Rockefeller as the nominee whom the party leaders protected from all opposition: the bosses’ man. Nixon's strategists certainly did not foresee this Rockefeller action. The vice president was on a sightseeing tour with a young relative Saturday when the governor s statement erupted from Albany. The Nixon camp had been aware, however, of annoyed Intimations from Rockefeller sources that the vice president was the Republican machine choice. The polls, for what they are worth, indicate that Nixon is far stronger today than Rockefeller, not merely with party bosses but with the rank and file. Future polls will be especially interesting. They may show whether the rank and file will switch to Rockefeller —the man the party bosses counted out - 4.1 Rules Parking Meter Regulations Illegal SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UPD — City Judge Edward Olczak ruled today that South Bend’s parking meter regulations are illegal. The ruling, in effect, permitted motorists to park in metered zones indefinitely without inserting coins. / 1 But Olczak’s . term expires Thursday! midnight and Lloyd M. Alien, the new judge, may follow a different policy, although he said he doesn’t know now what he will do. Olczak ruled in the case of Henry Hoover, an attorney ' charged with overtime parking. He found Hoover innocent and said in a 10-page opinion that the zones and time limits prescribed, for them are invalid because they were established by tne Board of Public Works and Safety and not by the Common Council, as required by a 1945 state law. Olczak urged the city administration to appeal to the Indiana Supreme Court because, he said, the legality of meter ordinances and regulations may be questioned in other Indiana cities and towns. Mayor Edward F. Voorde, whose term expires Thursday midnight. too, said he would instruct police to continue issuing overtime parking tickets.
