In Gubernatorial Race Bob Anderson Sees Bolack as Nominee of sion who ican a ards, sorry at in By SAM JOHNSON One of New Mexico's wealthiest and busiest citi- zens, much spotlighted in political speculation recently, laid aside a fishing rod Sat- urday and said he would be surprised if former Gov. Bolack of Farmington is not the Republican nominee for governor next year. The statement came from Robert O. Anderson of Roswell, who told the Journal by telephone from Aspen, that a leap into politics on his own part was going to take "some real thought." One reason: He's a busy man. Proof of the fact is that he had just come in from a day of fishing, his favorite For Suspense Novels Zia Award Goes To Ursula Curtiss Judged by American stand- the women behind Curtain have a pretty lot life.

ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL July 21, 1963 State Democrat Leaders Lash Redman Again By the Associated Press New Mexico Democratic big guns aimed blistering barrages Saturday at Republican Dr. Jack Redman, labeling the Albuquerque Republican's press statements "appalling and incredulous." Chaves County Democratic Sen.

J. Penrod Toles unleashed the second attack against Redman in a month by saying Redman "now approves the John Birch Society calls the movement thrilling. These statements are appalling and Toles said. Democratic Party Chairman Calvin Horn lashed out at Redman saying he was sur. prised at Redman's failure to repudiate the support of extreme right wing members of the Republican Party.

Kicks off Ruckus Toles earlier this month kicked off a statewide political ruckus calling the GOP infiltrated with extreme right wing John Birch members. Toles said Redman was against the Birch Society in his 1962 bid for Congress. "Before the last election, Dr. Redman stated he completely opposed the John Birch Society and did not solicit their support in his race for Toles said. He Redman of compromising with Birchers in hopes of being elected in 1964.

Should Know Toles said, "Dr. Redman should know that Jeffersonian principles and John Birch Society beliefs are as different as night and day." Toles said Birchers "pray on man's fears and emotions." Toles said they themselves into a society; dedicated to follow the dictates of one man. Robert Welch. totalitarian tactics defile the honorable philsophy of conservatism." Toles said. Horn said, "I am not surprised at the number of New Mexicans in favor of the principles of Thomas Jeffer.

son as Dr. Redman intimated I might be. "What I am surprised at is Dr. Redman's continued failure to repudiate the support of the extreme right wing members of his own party as called for by Sen. Toles.

Redman said, after hearing Toles' newest blast, "Penrod Toles is sinking deeper and deeper into his own trap. It must have been embarrassing for the state chairman (Calvin Horn) that he got trapped into trying to save the senator's political face. I presume from now on Toles is on his own." Cites Anguish Redman said Toles' statement sounded like the "anguish of a man who has taken a premeditated risk and lost. To quote from the statement, 'Jeffersonian principles and John Birch beliefs are as different as night and If Toles will re-read my comments they were given in support of Jeffersonian principles. "I will continue to do my best to work for Jeffersonian principles in the Republican party, and I invite Sen.

Toles to work for the same principles in his party. Then one day, perhaps, his party and mine can try to out-Jefferson each other." Deaths and Funerals BROOKS Mrs. Bertha A. 78. resident here three years, passed SWAy in a hospital following long 111- ness.

(A) The mother of a soldier killed in Viet Nam said she was treated harshly by a Dept. of the Army official when she tried to find out when her son's body would be returned for burial.

Mrs. C. C. Ballard of Madill, mother of Spec. 5 Carl Ballard, 22, whose death was announced Friday by the Army, said the official told her "it is our business to get your son back, not when she telephoned for additional information.

The Army said Ballard was killed in a confused gunbattle among United States military personnel at an airstrip 65 southwest of Saigon Thursday night. Spec. 4 Donald Whitehouse of Crofton, was wounded. Military authorities said the shooting started when a guard opened fire at what he thought were Communist guerrillas. Another guard joined in the shooting and before long base personnel were firing into the darkness.

Authorities classified the death an accident.

Caught his limit, said Anderson, who with his brother, Donald Anderson, also of Roswell, just sold Hondo Oil Gas Co.

to Atlantic Refining Co. for 700.000 shares of Atlantic Refining stock. Closing price of the stock on the New York Stock Exchange Friday was giving the Anderson block of stock a value of roughly $36.5 million. Today, Anderson will fly from the family vacation home at Aspen to Riverside Lake near Espanola to serve as one of the hosts at a barbecue honoring Sen. Edwin L.

Mechem, Another of the hosts, along with Dr. Jack Redman of Albuquerque, will be Bolack. Personal Opinion As to Bolack's role in the 1964 campaign, Anderson said his opinion was strictly personal. "He's been much in evidence," Anderson said of Bolack, adding that the former governor appears to command the support of GOP party leaders and has not waived the possibility of becoming a candidate. The sale of Hondo Oil has not affected his own plans at all, Anderson said.

The Anderson block of stock will be one of the major holdings in Atlantic Refining, which has 9,000.000 shares outstanding, and Anderson said he has ev. ery intention of making himself "an interested At the same time, he will be "more of a rancher" in the future than an oilman. He has long been interested in agriculture and ranching and the Anderson interests now include eight ranches, six in New Mexico and two in Texas. Bowed Out A director of the Federal Reserve Bank in Dallas for a term ending Dec. 31, 1965, Anderson bowed out of the 1964 campaign picture some time ago.

He has "too many commitments," he told the Journal, as a director or of. ficial of many charitable organizations that take about half his time from extensive business interests. He is also vice chairman of the Lovelace Clinic here. As for 1966? "Far from certain," answered Anderson to a question whether he will be a candidate for political office. It's partly a matter of deciding where his time "can be put to the best use," he said.

"Politics is one of the great areas, but I have a great variety of other interests." Could be Elected If you run for office, "you always have to face the possibility of being elected," Anderson added drily. And he thinks that is going to happen to Republican candidates in considerable numbers next year, on both national and state levels. "Your national election is an influence on your state election. I (think outstanding the Republicans chance both have na- an tionally and in the state." Anderson is head of the Volunteers for Mechem group in the state and is expected to have an active role in the 1964 Republican campaign if he has the time to spare. Anderson and his wife are the parents of seven children, five daughters and two sons ranging in age from 5 to 23, and have one grandchild.

They will continue to make Roswell their residence, Anderson said. fourth annual TRADE IN YOUR OLD SHOE SALE OFF any shoe in stock, for your old shoes in trade.
