Rockefeller
Dies In Tuscon
At Age of 86
By The Associated Press
TUCSON, Ariz.—John D. Rocke
feller, Jr., famed philanthropist
and head of one of the world’s
wealthiest families, died in a Tuc
son hospital Wednesday at the age
®f 86.
Death was attributed to pneu
monia and heart strain.
A great humanitarian who ab
horred waste, Rockefeller poured
millions of dollars into welfare and
cultural projects around the world.
No estimate of his personal for
tune was available, but his known
gifts totaled more than 350 mil
lion dollars.
Once looked upon by fellow cap
italists as a radical, Rockefeller
also was a pioneer in urging better
conditions and an eight-hour day
for the American worker.
Early in his career, long before
Sie era of public relations, Rocke
feller was saying:
“Labor has never had its just
deserts. It should not be obliged
to fight for what is its just due.
Capital should be on the alert to
find out what is equitable and see
that labor gets it.”
In his philanthropies, as in his
business career, Rockefeller fol
lowed the footsteps of his father,
founder of the Standard Oil Co.,
upon which the family’s great
Wealth is based.
The total gifts of the Rocke
fellers is conservatively estimated
at more than one billion dollars.
This does not include interest on
endowments financing such or
ganizations as the Rockefeller
Foundation, General Education
Board and Rockefeller Institute for
Medical Research.

lems.
Recognizing Officers
Emphasis will be placed next
year, according to the plan, on stu

room regulations concerning gen
eral policies will be covered. A
cadet’s conduct at football games
and at yell practice will be out
lined in the early instruction. Con
duct in the dining halls and meet
ing on campus will be explained
and demonstrated in the first meet
ings.
Use Demonstrations
In all phases of instruction, the
committee is encouraging the com
mander to make use of available
charts and demonstrations to make
the freshman more interested and
able to understand the procedures.
The cadet will be shown the
proper way to wear the uniform,
and will be encouraged to wear it
often.
The committees’ recommendation
will be compiled by Mims and
Buchanan this weekend, and they
will then meet with Capt. P. S.
Shepard for the final draft. It will
be presented to Col. Joe E. Davis,
commandant, for final approval.
It will be distributed to unit
commanders as soon as it is com
plete.

By The Associated Press
CHARLESTON, W. Va. —Sen.
John F. Kennedy’s eye-opening
victory in the West Virginia
primary Tuesday has been labeled
the big upset of this young election
year.
Public opinion polls—by news
papers and magazines and by
Kennedy himself—apparently had
much to do with the outcome.
A lop-sided majority of forecast
ers had predicted Sen. Hubert H.
Humphrey would stop Kennedy in
this economically unstable and
predominantly Protestant state.
Humphrey’s pro-labor record and
Kennedy’s Catholic religion made
it an obvious conclusion, they rea
soned.
And most of these predictions
were based on private polls two
to four weeks before the election,
which showed that less than half
the voters questioned favored the
Massachusetts senator.
But seldom has the actual bene
fit of polls, as a tool for determin
ing the voters’ pulse, been brought
into such sharp focus.
West Virginia showed that a poll
can be an acceptable gauge at the
specific time it is taken. It’s out
of date a day later.
The state primary also under
lined the importance of the “un
decided” vote. It was this bloc,
ready to swing unpredictable either
way, that eventually gave Ken
nedy his whopping margin of vic
tory.
Kennedy got into the West Vir
ginia primary on the basis of polls.
Last November Kennedy’s camp
put out feelers to determine where
the senator should enter state
primaries. A professional public
opinion survey team from New
York checked West Virginia and
.reported that Kennedy would run
strong here.
Sen. Kennedy entered.
Last month his team made an
other state-wide survey. The news
was alarming. It showed public

MANY THANKS
FOR RE-ELECTING ME
AS YOUR CONGRESSMAN
My ambition Is to do a good job of representing the
people of the Sixth Congressional District. I hope that
anyone who needs my help, at any time, will feel free to
call upon me. I need your help in making your views known
to me so that I can effectively represent you.

opinion had shifted, and he would
be lucky to get 40 per cent of the
vote.
Kennedy’s headquarters, alerted,
drew up an intensive campaign
schedule. It brought in Franklin
D. Roosevelt, Jr., former President
Roosevelt’s picture in more homes
in the coal mining areas than
George Washington’s.
Two weeks before the election,
Kennedy’s pollsters took another
survey. It showed Kennedy might
be picking up a little, but not
much.
The latest poll indicated it wasn’t
much of a secret why Kennedy was
trailing. He was a Catholic. And
many West Virginians hadn’t
talked with a Catholic about their
beliefs. It just hadn’t come up
before. And they simply were
suspicious and unwilling to go for
something they weren’t sure of.
