EAST LIVERPOOL REVIEW A Niwsfaper Strving the Tri'State The PuWished Daily Sunday By Newspapers, Inc, Tuesday, May 7, 1963 Established Oct. 25, 1871 Member Associated Press Page 4 Toughest Of The Power Struggles American morale in the stniijgle with the Soviet Union would be bomted by admitting one fact about Communist leaders. They get into their pants one leg at a time like leaders of the world. They bleed, suffer and die like other men. They make stupid mistakes.

They quarrel. They play palace politics and are handicapped by throat-aitting and knifing in the back. It is not true that they are tireless, 10 feet tall, with the of elephants and the agility of tigers. If they are capable of being more ruthle.ss than non-Communist leaders, it is only in relation to their willingness to take even that appears to have died with iitalin. THEY' -YRE NO more dedicated to the advancement of their cause and crnintry than Americans.

Briton.s, Frenchmen, Italians, Spaniards, Japanese and (Tiine.se. They have no more vitality than men like (Tiarles de (iaulle and Konrad Adenauer. Their have given none of them the achieved by Churchill in his lifetime or the worldwide acclaim that greeted Franklin Roosevelt and Dwight Ei.senhower. Mfist of what Russian Communists have seemed to be is an elixir of humbug compounded of excessive publicity in the U.S. prwis and excessive secrecy everywhere else.

MKITA KHRUSHCHEV recently confessed he was having intimations of mortality and would not last forever. And now comes official word that Frol Kozlov, who had emerged as the likeliest choice to step into busy shoes if and when they slfxid empty, has suffered a thrombosis and will be laid up indefinitely. The greatest power stniggle mi earth still is between man and all the nonpolitical adversities that can befall human flesh. In Pursuit Of Happiness If Nelson A. Roc'kefeller i.sn’t worried about the effect of a marriage on his political prospects, why any of the rest of us worry'? This is the closest thing had to the stir in Britain when Fxlward VIII loved Wallis Warfield so much nothing else mattered.

The gffiisips and bluenoses made a big thing out rtf that, too, and the oeca.sion was worthy of their best efforts. The thrmie of Great Britain is no trifle to be thrown away lightly. Neither is the pre.sidmicy of the United States. But between the two there is thi.s monumental difference. Edward had throne of Britain and could be pu.shed off only by politicians and churchmen sitting In judgment on his deci.sion to marry a commoner who had been divorced.

Nelson Rockefeller has nothing at the moment tMit the govemor.ship of New York. He does not need to be a presidaitial nominee, a president, or a governor. He is his own man. He can do anything he wishes in private, be anything he wishes. And right now he wishes to be the hu.sband of the former Mrs.

Margaretta Filler Murphy, a lady with an infectious grin and a manner that has caused her to be nicknamed May both of them be happy. Politics? Who cares? Despite gassips, bluenases and others trying to set up a connecticm between happiness and political nobody cares that much. of all Gov. Rockefeller, who may have made up his mind that pleasing all the people all the time focrf any of the people any of the time anyway. If he gets within striking di.stance of the presidency, the people of the United States likely to hold the pursuit of happiness against him.

That is the spenders and cutters.

The Democratic party is committed to unrestrained spending. The Republican party has taken the position that spending must be checked. Democrats in the Senate are taking it on themselves to kiss and make well all Republican cuts. Prospects for Republican success are dim Bui far dimmer are pro.sf>ects for national survival if cannot be held in a reali.stic ratio to federal income.

WORD WENT SWIFTLY to Weinstock and national Communist leader Gus Hall.

Both men have been under scrutiny of the Subversive ontrol Board. The ban on ac- to the was lifted. But during all this time the Moscow, Tass and Soviet Radio were permitted by the Communist.s to move freely acros.s the reviewing stand. One of them, Oleg Kalugin, Moscow radio correspondent, made certain that the praise of Ca.stro’s Cuba and the attacks on the U.S. were being taped for broadca.st across the world.

Communist cadres were clustered around microphones to cheer such other speakers as Communist newsman Joe North. He was billed as having just returned from two years in Cuba. Similar techniques were used in the hamlling of Communist college students. They were introduced in Aesopian language designed to have them appear to be leaders of a student movement. Actually they were recruited in the course of the Onnmunist concentration on campuses during the past few years.

Did Gov, Nelson Rockefeller decide for himself that he cares more for the woman he love.s than he does even for the opportunity to win the prcsi- dency in 1964?

The conclusnwi is inescapable, therefore, that the nation is witnessing a recurrence of those romantic circumstances which caused Fxtward YIIl to give up the throne he already had because, under the rules and customs of Britain, he found he could not marry a divorced woman and remain king. So in a public address in December 1936 he told why he chose instead woman I He has enjoyed in the 27 years since a happiness and satisfaction with life that make the ceremonies and care-s of palace life almost irrelevant.

In America, however, the people decide whether a divorced man shall forfeit the pre.sidency. While it now may seem certain that Nelson Rockefeller will not be the Republican nominee in 1964, who is to say that he might not be nominateii in 1968 when five years have gone by and the public has had a chance to size up his new life?
