THE CUKRO RECORD. Thurs.
Editorial-
Sacramento Or Rust -
In his announcebent to the press that he will run for
the Governorship of “America’s first state”, California,
in 1962, but will not be a candidate for the Presidency in
1964. Richard Nixon may well be first among our poli-
ticos in conceding the re-election of President Kennedy.
• The Government (of California), the 8tate House
in Sacramento is in a mess and somebody has to clean it
up,' said Mr. Nixon, the inference being that this task
svould require the full four year term, which he promised
to complete, if elected.
Former Governor Goodwin Knight, who will con-
:est the Nixon bid for the nomination in the GOP pri-
nary. observed that while the former Vice President had
said he would not be a Presidential candidate in 1964,
‘he did not say he will not be drafted”. New York’s Gov-
ernor Nelson Rockefeller held a similar view, declaring
that: ‘ A draft will always be a possibility.” If he, him-
self were re-elected, Mr. Rockefeller indicated that he
would not feel any moral obligation to serve the term
out. Senator Barry Goldwater, however, was taking Mr.
Nixon at his word.
The latter view may well turn out to be correct. For
one thing, as the successful team-mate of the man who
promised to “clean up the mess in Washington”, Mr.
Nixon discovered at close range that even eight years
may not be enough for any perceptible political sani-
tizing. Further, if the opposition for the Presidency—ei-
ther Senator Goldwater or Governor Rockefeller is
knocked out by a Kennedy victory in 1964—the going may
be easier in 1968.
At that time. Mr. Kennedy will be ineligible by law
and is doubtful that Bobby or Teddy or any of the Holly-
wood "Rat Pack" possesses the type of glamor that draws
votes. And Mr. Nixon will still be younger than Mr. Ste-
venson.
Plainly, the first problem is the “mess” in Sacramen-
to—and the mandate to clean it up.

Riches Without Wealth
By Phil Newsom
UPI Foreign News Analyst
A few years ago an elderly man dreamed a dream j SCHI^N’Di|N?_0(n West C;*r'
about peace and security in the lovely twilight that man * . !er . .
snug harbor should precede the mysterious dusk of eter-
nity. And unlike most men. young or old, he has lived to
realize his dream. A snug harbor—not just for himself,
but for hundreds of other senior citizens who are obli-
gated to make the most of their remaining years on so-
by the wire, on the Communist
side of which a brightly painted
sign proclaims:
"Socialism means liberty, soc-
ial security and wealth.”
The villagers cut off from
relatives, school and church!

Alec Temple, stepping onto
the stoop of Sam Fellows'

to scrape the soles of his boots
and to sweep nis trouser tegs

against the doorframe.

Frank B. Morrison has signed

now.
Passing over the clearing his
eye began to move through the
frua Uit novel publiwie-i
timber Part of it remained
whole and standing yet. but the
other part was no longer tim-
ber at all, but only a great
acreage of blackened sticks that
rose stark and upright in the
snow or else lay beneath It tn
the shapeless white graves of
the fallen.
"It sure looks queer," Sam
said, and he had come from the
sink. He stood beside Alec,
wiping his hands on the apron
ne wore about nis middle. “It
looks like a wound up there."
Alec knew what ne meant.
It was the crimson gash in the
massed gray of the lifting ram-
parts.
At one time the headland,
abuttmg on the slide and
crowned ui great pine, had
jutted out there above the bias-
ing outhern arm of the fire.
But, it did eo no more. Except
for the livid, bloody mark of
its amputation it might never
have been there at all.
"J never seen the like of that
happening before." Sam said.
"Nor did 1 ever see a man do
what your pa done before,
either. But he saved the can-
yon. She'd all be cinders now,
otherwise. ”
Quiet, Alec Just nodded. In
the eye of his mind, the bril-
liant. eye-closing white of the
snow became flames leaping,
and the clouds above no longer
bore weather in their depths
but were oily with resin and
black with the ten thousand
separate deaths of tree and
shrub and crazed animal.
"It was lucky the clearing
broke the broad front." Sam
said, as if he saw it all again,
too.
'He was counting or that,”
Alee said.
"Yes. ne figured it would,"
Sam saio "It couldn't go no
turther them Except ‘to the
headland"
wr
HICH. of course, was where
had gone
Alec could see that nil clear-
ly once more, too: now the lust-
ing flames had come roaring
down upon the clearing at full
gallop, and there, where the
timber and grass joined, had
met the backfires, and for n
moment or two had faltered,
while the flames, tn leaping,
sank down. and. to sinking, tried
still to leap but stumbled again
while the night grew dim.
But you could never tell what
a fire might do next And even
as it staggered down to broken
stride upon the broad front of
tne clearing, it called together
its reserves of momentum and
draft and intense, accumulated
heat and flung Itself westward

it was as if It was in that
moment animate, and so knew
that, tn reaching tne headland,
it could then take the slide and
all below it for ten miles.
"But 1 guess he didn’t figure
on that." Sam said.
Maybe not. Alec thought, and
he remembered again how Ja-
cobs had talked to Claude cart-

doubtful and undecided, had

bo certain even now of what

the headland:
To put a pack frame, (Aden

cliff, a foot, a yard, an inch at
