SEPTEMBER 13, 1962 ST. LOUIS POST- -DISPATCH 3 DORIS FLEESON Polltaker Picks a Candidate A FETISH OF THE KENNEDY sional polltaker-is coming under York Democrats in their confused to oppose Gov. Nelson Rockefeller. Their state convention next week may or may go further and do worse thar. to select former United States Attorney Robert M.

Morgenthau for the honor. The Morgent a boom became unstuck rather rapidly and frantic efforts to glue it back together are underway. Me a nwhile, Fleeson ation are focusing on the story of his sudden launching into elective politics. That account begins with a sampling made for Mayor Robert F. Wagner by the President's own polltaker, Louis Harris Associshowed that Morpenthawhild best chance against Rockefeller.

The Mayor brought it here and showed it to Kennedy, This has been done in behalf of other candidacies by politicians who have learned it is powerfully persuasive at the White House. Generally, however, the state party had already chosen the nominee and was only bidding for support of the accomplished fact. IN THIS instance, the Harris poll was used to effect a candidacy, a technique for which the Mayor bears at least partial responsibility. One of the disappointed, Rep. Samuel Stratton, has attacked it and expects to take before the convention his charge that Harris is "a grasping, power-mad kingmaker, not elected to or removable from party office." What Stratton wants to know Is how the Harris company made its sampling, what ques- ORCHID TYPE LOST FOR YEARS SHOWN AT SHAW'S GARDEN A rare Peruvian butterfly orchid has bloomed at the Missouri Botanical (Shaw's) Garden, and was put on display in the Climatron today.

A spokesman for the Garden said the orchid, known to botanists as Oncidium sanderae, is the first known example of the species to be cultivated since the plant was identified in the early 1900s and then was lost. David Bennett, the Shaw Garden's agent in Peru, found the plant earlier this year on a collecting trip in the Amazon river drainage basin in eastern Peru. He suspected that it might be the "lost" orchid. Shaw's Garden botanists Callaway Dodson and Robert Gillespie confirmed its identity for the first time when a bloom appeared several days ago. The blooms are yellow mottled with brown; the plant green mottled with red.

WASHINGTON. Administration--the profespublic examination by New struggle to nominate a candidate tions it asked and where, and how wide was its range. It would seem as a practical matter that he has little recourse should Harris not choose to answer. Polltaking has no code of ethics or Hippocratic oath; it is simplese a growth response to era of advancing communications. Occasionally it gets a black eye, as when President Truman defeated Thomas E.

Dewey, the pisb himself has favorite in miscalled 1918. Har- several elections, and so have his rivals. BUT HE performed well for Kennedy in 1960, and that is what counts now. That there were special circumstances in that campaign is largely, forgotten. The President ample financing and enormous flexibility, plus a trained helpers led by his able brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy.

The Kennedys could move quickly to correct any weakness exposed to them or to take advantage of strengths uncovered. His own polltaker was only one of these and other advantages he enjoyed. In the New York situation today the Harris poll is the major plus for Morgenthau in his first try for elective office. It seems clear that Democrats, and in some cases Republicans, are tending to rely on names, and Morgenthau bears a fine one. Perhaps they are right, and this is only the fruit of the communications age.

The polltaker tests the names as the old-time bosses did among their adherents. But he vests them on the shallow one of his being "known," with even less regard than most bosses displayed of their other qualifications. Maybe the next step is the computer.
