Rockefellers Arrive In Venezuela (Continued from Page One) west of Caracas.

Afc IN NEW YORK, Rockefeller, 64, considered a leading candidate for the 1964 Republican presidential nomination, turned aside questions about his'political future as he chatted in Spanish with newsmen at the airport. He predicted bliss for his second marriage and said he and his bride remain in Venezuela for about two weeks. Mrs. Rockefeller, 36, said, she was thrilled to-be in Venezuela 'or the first time and hoped to earn some.Spanish while here, She said she was looking forward to horseback riding at the Rockefeller ranch, which has a large riding stable and a swimming pool. The governor interpreted her remarks into Spanish.

THIS IS Rockefeller's first trip to Venezuela since June 1961 and he said lie regretted that prassing business in New York kept him away so long. He said they decided to spend their honeymoon liere "because we love Venezuela." The Rockefellers stood atop a wing of the private plane for the short news apparently unmindful of the rain. Mrs. Rockefeller wore a plain wedding band, a sleeveless blue blouse, brown skirt and brown shoes and carried a brown purse. Passengers reported the Rockefellers held hands for a time after a lunch of steak and a glass of champagne each on the flight from New York.

Before lunch, passengers said, they read all the New York newspaper accounts of their wedding and exchanged commenis on photographs of them. A group of Rockefeller business associates and Venezuelan officials greeted the couple on their arrival in Caracas. THE ROCKEFELLERS laughed as they were pelted with rice while they climbed aboard the twin-engine Cessna 310G piloted by John Bogart. Capt. Edwin Galvin, Rockefeller's New York slate police bodyguard, accompanied them-on the 35-minute flight in the six-seat plane.

Rockefeller gavj newsmen in New York no time to question him as he left Idlewild Airport. He told them with a smile: "I know you would like to discuss politics with me but I don't think this is the, time or the he said i a smile. "There will be plenty of chances for that subject and decisions at another time." Thus Rockefeller's public debut with his bride of less than 24 hours failed to yield any personal assessment of his political future in the wake of dual divorces that made the marriage possible. A SAMPLE of political thinking just prior to the marriage showed many Republican leaders 'eared (he wedding would hurt Rockefeller's career. But a renewed sampling since Saturday, indicated a reversal of this feeling.

There were those politicians who professed to see the romance as an act of political suicide for Rockefeller, since no divorced man has ever won the presidency of the United'States.
