LeRoy Collins of Florida has accepted an appointment to the Advisory Council of the.

Democratic National Com-! mittee. The acceptance of the appointment by Collins is considered a signal victory for Butler, who has been pushing the liberally oriented council over the opposition of southern Democrats since it was formed in San Francisco in February, 1957, to act as a spokesman for the party between national conventions. Opposed by South At that time the council was opposed by members of the national committee from south of the Mason -Dixon line and southern Democrats in Congress who feared they Mete being painted into a corner on the explosive civil the fact that they are insured by a firm, operating out of a one-room office in A XT 'i MtMMMMMMHMHHM v1, -4 I I Tangier, Morocco, which does not have adequate as 3 1 sets to guarantee them.

These 'liberals" voice considerable hostility to Kennedy's getting the Democratic nomination. Typical criticisms run, "He's immature," or, "His father is trying to buy him the Presidency like a toy." Rockefeller Over Kennedy Every fifth Stevenson supporter I talked with said he or she would vote for Rockefeller over Kennedy if that were the choice. In sharp contrast, when Kennedy's supporters are asked whom they would like to see the Republicans nominate, the reply almost invariably is "Nixon," not Rockefeller.

Stevenson is often dismissed with a curt "not that man again." Many, in fact, declare, "I'll vote for Nixon over any Democrat except Kennedy." The net picture that emerges, in short, is not simply one of two Democratic wings, polarized in conflict, but of each faction having its own favorite Republican candidate. Neat Mirror-Matching No recent election has produced so neat a mirror-matching of the rivalries within both major parties. Most likely thin conflict extends beyond the states Inner Conflict This is simplv the old in wagon in the market parking seized by the state insurance, York aUoiTnev and for. commission in April, 10o8, on secrctarv of tfie Xation. markedly in the results of my interviewing of hundreds of typical voters at every economic level in New York City and its suburbs during the last two months, I picked the New York area for this intensive survey because it is the one part of the nation where Gov.

Rockefeller is well known and, therefore, might yield a preview of the impact his active campaigning might have in the rest of the country on both Democrats and Republicans. Nixon Favored With normally Republican voters in Rockefeller's own home state, my interviews show that Vice President Nixon is favored1 appreciably for the Presidential nomination. "Rocky Is doing a fine job as governor," say many of those interviewed, "but Nixon has the experience in Washington." Almost no rancor crops up in these Republican comments about either Nixon or Rockefeller and it is plain that cither man would be acceptable to the GOP stalwarts. Several persons, in fact, declared, "A Nixon-Rockefeller ticket would be unbeatable." Among normally Democratic voters, Rockefeller pulls quite strongly with lot and drove off with the telling novel MGM called on some of the most seasoned minds in Hollywood, and to their combined know-how added the latest and finest in technical and electronic, de ner conflict between the ded a ban Francisco superior Li (,..,0 child. next July, hailed the acceptance of the appointment by Collins, saying: "Thio aiinnintmpnt vrrv indicted on charges of con icated moviemaker, amazed by what he has wrought, and the artist of taste when court order.
