Show Page Two FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 1958 THE SALT LAKE TIMES . conscious of what is now a "Stop Nixon" campaign. The diminishing number of key Republicans opposed to Mr. Nixon's nomination in 1960 also realized more dramatically than ever that he has become the GOP's key hope. However, some more "political Sputniks" or "'trial balloons" were hurriedly launched to see if they "took." j One of the most unexpected was the one the more anti-Nixo- n Administration Republicans gave the columnists, Defense Secre-tary Neil McElroy, who is now in the limelight. It was stressed that he is in a position of great responsibility, is personable, 53, and from Ohio, "birthplace of Presidents," since the Civil war. However, there was remarkably little response to a Presidential possiblity who may need more time to become known. The stars of two other possible Nixon rivals at the 1960 GOP convention appears to disappear. j Governor Goodwin Knight of California, heretofore anti-Nixo- n came out in support of him in return for his aid in running for the U. S. Senate. And observers believe Nixon and Senator Wil-liam Knowland have a "gentle- - man's agreement," whereby Mr. Knowland won't oppose Nixon in 1960 if he succeeds Knight as Governor of California. The only other key Republican known to plan opposition to Nixon for launching his "trial balloons" away from Washing-ton, Presidential Disarmament Advisor Harold E. Stassen, con-tinued to sound out Pennsylva-nia Republican leaders about the chances of seeking the GOP nom-ination for Governor in his new-ly adopted state. Thus far, GOP leaders could hardly appear less warm. But Stassen, if nothing else, is persistent. The administration may have had more than its share of prob-lems in getting an American earth satellite into outer space. But there was no shortage of "political Sputniks" in the skies over Washington during Presi-dent Eisenhower's illness last week. It is fair to all concerned to say that not all these were launched solely because of the President's mild stroke. Politi-cians of both parties have been giving increasingly serious con-sideration to the 1958 Congres-sional elections, less than one year off, and the first Presiden-tial primaries, just 24 months away! But during the President's incapacitation, activity by hope-fuls of both parties became al-most feverish, despite a delibe-rate effort by everyone to avoid that "lean and hungry" look as as President was ill. Vice President Richard Nixon found himself in the middle of the fray in the Republican party when the question of delegating Presidential powers to Nixon quite naturally arose. And again as it had during President Eisen-hower's two previous illnesses, Nixon found himself caught in between pro and anti-Nixo-n forces in the White House. Nixon himself "opened shop" in a White House office for a full day until Presidential News Secrteary Jim Hagerty returned from Paris to assure the public the President wasn't as fatally stricken as earlier reports had made it seem. But in the meantime, Senator Styles Bridges of New Hamp-shire, senior Republican Senator, had urged Nixon to virtually take over the Presidency. It isj only fair to Nixon to say that he seemed embarrassed by his sup-porters' demands. Nixon also was moved on more by events than ambition. But Presidential Assistant Sherman Adams and others cool to Nixon found them-selves helpless until the true, less serious nature of the Presi-dent's illnes became known. Trial balloons for the Senate Democratic leader Lyndon John-son fly highest over Washington. His chairmanship of the Senate Preparedness Committee hear-ings on our space and missiles position guarantees the Texan headlines and a key role in this frontage issue for some time toi come. Senator Stuart Symington of Missouri, former Air Secretary, is regarded by Chief Democratic military spokesman, however. In St. Louis, party leaders urged him to get into the ring. At the same moment Massachusetts Sen. John Kennedy was being hon-ored at a gathering in Boston to launch his Presidential "Sput-nik." . Each explained he has to win on first, although every one knew the Symington and Kennedy booms are already well underway.
