THE WORLD TODAY:
Nothing friendly toward Nixon
seen in Rockefelier's withdrawal
By JAMES MARLOW
Amociated Pres* News Analyst
WASHINGTON (AP) - It's a
•tudy in frigidity.
New York Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller’s statement Saturday
—that he will not be a candidate
for the Republican presidential
nomination—was a cold piece of
business.
There was nothing friendly in it
toward Vice President Richard M.
Nixon or the professional Republi-
can politicians.
Although Rockefeller’s with-
drawal leaves Nixon unopposed
for their party’s presidential nom-
ination, the governor never men-
tioned Nixon’s name.
Rockefeller, in fact, didn’t even
promise to support the Republi-
can Party or its nominee. The
most he was willing to say was
that he expects to. Newsmen tried
to get him to say specifically Sun-
day whether he would back Nixon.
But he replied he would not go
beyond his statement Saturday
Elizabeth near tears
as prince on program
WEST NEWTON, England (AP(
—Queen Elizabeth II bowed her
head with emotion Sunday night
as her son and heir stood at the
altar of a 15th century church and
made the first official public ut-
terance of his royal life.
The voice of 11-year-old Prince
Charles was- clear and composed
as he read one of four lessons
from the Bible at the annual serv-
ice of nine carols in the Church
of St. Peter and St. Paul, in this
village near the royal family's
Sandringham estate.
While his mother, his father
Prince Philip, his sister. Princess
Anne, 9, and other royal relatives
looked on, Charles held the Bible
firmly and read the passage from
St. Matthew about the coming of
the Three Wise Men to Eethlehem.
Queen Elizabeth, who is expect-
ing her third child early next
year, seemed close to tears as the
young prince spoke.
PERSONAL
SERVICES
which said, in part, “I expect to
support the nominees, as well as
the program, of the party in
1960.”
Further, it is possible to read
into Rockefeller’s words the idea
he will be a critical thorn to both
the Republican bosses and the Ei-
senhower administration before
the Republican convention opens
in Chicago July 25.
Rockefeller, in stepping aside,
at no place Indicated he felt the
majority of rank-and-file Republi-
cans preferred Nixon over him or
even that he wouldn’t have a
chance against Nixon if he did
oppose him.
He put his reason for withdraw-
ing squarely on the “great ma-
jority of those (Republicans) who
will control” the convention.
This is what he said, in the se-
quence of his thinking:
1. The majority of professionals
don't want a contest among Re-
publicans for the nomination.
2. Therefore, in order to over-
come the opposition of the pros
to him, he’d have to give the
rank - and - file Republicans a
chance to choose between him and
Nixon by going into state primar-
ies.
3. But this would take up so
much of his time and energy he
couldn’t properly fulfill his obliga-
tions to the people of New York
who elected him to do a job as
governor.
In the past few months Rocke-
feller, while whisking around the
country to appraise his chances,
was critical a number of times of
the Eisenhower administration.
That he may continue to be now,
from the sidelines, can be read into
this part of his statement:
He listed the various issues fac-
ing the country, at home and
abroad, and then said: “I will
contribute all I can ’’toward a
“profound and continuous act of
national self-examination.”
He said: "I shall speak with full
freedom and vigor on these issues
that confront our nation and the
BUILDING
REPAIR
world.”
Nixon now looks like a sure-
shot for the Republican presiden-
tial nomination. But the future is
unpredictable and Rockefeller
did not rule himself out as a pos-
sibility.
He said he would not be a candi-
date for the nomination. But he
didn’t say—as he did in the case
of the vice presidency—he would
not accept the nomination if it is
offered to him.
So, if somehow Nixon gets side-
tracked, Rockefeller is still avail-
able.

LEA AND COX FURNITURE
and Appliance Co. has seen a re-
cord sales year in 1959 as resi-
dents from Levelland and a wide
surrounding area have streamed
into the store to purchase every-
thing from stoves and freezers to
living room suits and easy chairs.
The firm which was established
in 1948, has grown tremendously
since its inception, says Wilson
Cox, co-owner and store manager.
He estimates that the volume of
business has increased at least 10
times over the orginal amount.
Partner with Cox is I. F. Lea.
The two began the store 11 years
ago at 606 Houston with a B. F.
Goodrich dealership. Now the firm
has expanded into complete furni-
ture and appliance lines.
TN THE FURNITURE LINE,
Lea and Cox handles such nation-
ally known names as Edson-Hix,
Broyhill, Provincetown, Virtue,
Sealy and Strato Lounger.
In the appliance field, the firm
has Zenith radio and television and
Frigidaire stoves, refrigerators,
home freezers and washing ma-
chines.
BUT THE FIRM IS NOT SATIS-
Ced to maintain its present pace
“We’re constantly seeking better
lines of merchandise at better
prices for our trade area,” de-
clares Cox, who is a city council-
man.
The business has made a grow-

BEVERLY* HILLS, Calif. (AP)
—The Bob Crosbys are together
again, hopeful of saving their 21-
year marriage.
"We had a very happy holiday,”
Crosby said Sunday night. He told
newsmen that he and his wife,
June, dined together Christmas
Day and attended church Sunday.
The couple separated after an
argument last month. Mrs. Cros-
by told police at the time that
her husband came home in an
angry mood and pushed her. She
said Crosby was stabbed in the
arm and chest when she grabbed
a letter opener to defend herself.
Crosby’s version was that his
wife had fallen when he at-
tempted to disarm her.
The couple has five children—
aged 8 to 19.

“We hope to continue to grew

City evacuated
as gasoline-laden
fug boat explodes
CRESCENT CITY, Calif. (AP)
—For three hours it was touch
and go in this north coast harbor
town.
A tug boat exploded next to a
barge loaded with 800,000 gallons
of high octane gasoline.
When the peril ended Sunday,
one man was missing and believed
dead, another was burned. Four
were pitched into the bay by the
force of the morning blast.
The downtown district of Cres-
cent City a community of 2,750,
was evacuated. Fishing beats, tied
up during the holidays, lifted an-
chor. Many carried local resi-
dents.
The blast had the force of an
earthquake in the waterfront area.
It was felt as far away as Brook-
ings, Ore., 30 miles to the north.
The missing man was Gordon
McCallen, 23, of Seattle, a deck
hand on the tug Celilo. The vessel
belonged to the Upper Columbia
River Towing Co., Portland, Ore.
and had just arrived from San
Francisco with the gasoline-laden
barge.
Hospitalized with bums was
Lawrence Hanson, 31, of Ports-
town. Wash.
Hanson said gas from the 97-foot
barge spilled and "was sucked in-
to the engine room through a vent-
ilator. The engine room filled with
gasoline vapor.
“The diesel engines ran wild.”
A Coast Guard cutter pumped
water on the tug while the entire
Crescent City Fire Department—
plus volunteer*—fought shoreside
fires and flash fires aboard the
highly volatile barge.
It had been unloading gasoline
into underground pipes which car-
ry the fuel to tanks south of the
city.
'AGE PIGMENT" CITED
Birthdays truly make
the human heart glow
By ALTON RLAKESLEM f
Associated Pres* Science Writer
CHICAGO (AP) — Birthdays
truly make ycur heart glow.
The older you get, the more
your heart will actually shine or
fluoresce if exposed to ultraviolet
or black light.
It shines more because more
“age pigment” accumulates in
living cells of the heart. This pig-
ment is a strange and perhaps
very significant fact in the puzzle
of why and how we grow old and
die
The pigment shines with a kind
of orange light when the heart is
inspected with ultraviolet light.
The age pigment concentrating
in human hearts, nerves, brains
and muscles is being investigated
for clues to aging.
The story is told in an exhibit
today to the American Assn, for
the Advancement of Science.
Children up to about age 10 ap-
parently have none of the age pig-
ments in their hearts, autopsy
studies show.
But the amount increases In
proportion to age thereafter, sci-
entists of the gerontology branch,
National Heart Institute, and Balt-
imore city hospitals find.
In persons of advanced age, per-
haps 20 per cent of the heart is
made up of the age pigment,
which is relatively inactive and
seemingly useless.
But it is replacing some of the
contractile tissue of the heart
cells. A big question is whether
this is connected with the higher
deaths rates that come with age.
The age pigment was first no-
ticed many years ago. Main goals
now are in trying to isolate and
identify it, and determine what ft
means.
Where the pigment comes from
and why are also still unknown.
It doesn’t seem to be correlated
with heart failure, or any parti-
cular disease.
