Republicans in the country are
dissatisfied with the present
front-runners for the race and
the middle-of-the-road and the
far right which they represent.
This turn to Lodge and Nixon
seems to represent the hard core
of people who voted for Nixon in
1960 and those who elected Ei
senhower in 1962 and ’56. Lodge
was U. S. representative to the
U. N. during the Eisenhower ad
ministration.
The ballots also showed people
such as Pennsylvania’s Governor
William W. Scranton that no one
can claim a “clear call’ from the
party faithful.
President Johnson showed de
finite strength in his polling of
28,000 votes, but the 24,000 write-
in Votes for Attorney General
Robert Kennedy for vice-presi
dent could possibly fan the flames
of the Bobby-Lyndon quarrel
which could damage the Demo
cratic cause across the nation.
Nothing like the write-in phen
omenon for Lodge appears to be
likely in California because state
laws allow no delegates to rep
resent a write-in candidate. The
contest there should point out the
true favorite of the Rockerfeller-
Goldwater duo in a state that
registers voters in a 3-2 ratio in
favor of the Democrats. Either
way both men’s campaign took
a definite down hill turn and a
rousing victory will be needed
between now and convention time
to interest anyone in either of the
men as the party standard bearer.
At the risk of angering the
fairer sex, one thing could be sug
gested by the primary results.
Senator Margaret Chase Smith’s
fifth place finish seems to indi
cate that no one is interested in
a woman as president. Senator
Smith is undaunted, though. She
plans to carry her campaign into
the April 14 hassle in Illinois and
the Oregon fight in May.
The Republicans have not indi
cated a candidate by any means,
but a trend may possibly have
started and the path ahead for
Barry and Nelson look extreme
ly rough.

Now that the smoke has clear
ed from the highly rated, and
possibly over rated, New Hamp
shire presidential preference pri
mary, it remains for the analysts
to pick up the pieces anrf see what
is left. The candidates don’t have
time.
Governor Nelson Rockefeller
and Senator Barry Goldwater left
for California only hours after
they were defeated by a strong
write-in campaign for Ambassa
dor Henry Cabot Lodge. May 15
will bring the primary test in
Oregon and June 2, the battle
moves south to the sunny land
of California.
The fact that Goldwater will
be the only western candidate in
the Oregon primary gives him
little time to stop and think be
cause Lodge’s name has turned
up on the ballot in Oregon and
despite the fact that Lodge says
he will remain in Saigon, he will
cause both Goldwater and Rocke
feller to lose a lot of sleep be
tween now and June.
“The write-in victory for Lodge
and the latent strength of the
tally for Nixon could possibly
mean that the people of New
Hampshire and the rest of the

AUSTIN (A>) _ Governor John
Connally’s higher education study
committee made tentative rec
ommendations Wednesday on jun
ior college policy, but would not
disclose them.
The committee, in closed ses
sion all but an hour, also con
sidered its relations with news
men. The group came to no
conclusions as to whether to open
its meeting further or to continue
excluding news reporters from its
deliberations.
Reporters were present this
morning when statistics were
presented comparing Texas pub
lic senior colleges and univer
sities with those of several other
states in such things as federal
research funds, library size
relative to enrollment, number
of doctor’s degrees granted and
faculty salaries.
The figures were discussed la
ter by the committee in closed
session as it attempted to for
mulate some numerical stand
ards by which it could measure
excellence, a quality Connally
says he wants the state’s insti
tutions of higher learning to at
tain.
Connally was present through
out most of a news conference
held in the capitol following the
committee meeting.
Zachry said the committee
would assemble its preliminary
recommendations April 18 so the
first draft of its report can be
written in time for further dis
cussion by the committee May 9.
Dr. Ben Jones, president of
Navarro Junior College, reviewed
recommendations his subcommit
tee on junior colleges had made
to the full committee. Zachry
said some had been adopted and
some changed, but would not say
which ones.
Several of the recommendations
were based on the establishment
of a state coordinating board fox-
higher education, which the com
mittee has tentatively decided to
recommend.
Jones said his group had pro
posed, among other things:
1. That junior colleges not be
elevated to four-year status. “If
a senior college is needed, it is
recommended that a new one
be built,” he said.
2. That the proposed state co
ordinating board continue the
present standard of approving a
new junior college only where
it is 50 miles or more from an
existing junior college.
3. That the state coordinating
board recommend legislation that
would authorize enlargement of
junior college districts that fall
within one county but have a
large proportion of students from
outside the county.
4. That the state coordinating
board encourage local junior
college districts to increase tax
income where necessary to equal
ize standards across the state.
5. That the state coordinating
agency encourage vocational and
technical course offerings by pro
viding adequate financing.

COMPULSORY COLLEGE
Free Higher Education
Gets Administration Help
WASHINGTON (CPS) — A
plan providing two free, compul
sory years of college is gaining
the support of President Johnson’s
administration.
An indication of White House
backing came in a speech this
week by Labor Secretary W. Wil
lard Wirtz who proposed extend
ing the legal required education
age to 18 in an effort “to get
youth unemployment out of A-
merica’s bloodstream.”
Wirtz took time out from talks
with labor officials over the boy
cott of wheat shipments to Russia
to outline the plan.
If studies now required stu
dents to continue their education
for two years after high school,
Wirtz said half of the 2.5 million
youths in the hard-core unem
ployment lists would be back
in school.
Wirtz noted that the number
of unemployed youths with mea
ger educations is radically higher
than among those with 11 to 12
years of education.
While not offering the plan
as an official government pro
gram, Wirtz emphasized that it
was a thought germinating with
in the administration for the past
several months.
Observers saw Wirtz’s state
ment as a further indication that
administration economists fear
that the historic income tax cut
bill won’t sufficiently help un
employment problems facing the
nation.
Sen. Abraham Ribicoff, D-
Conn., the late President Ken
nedy’s first Health, Education,
and Welfare Secretary, has led
attacks on the income tax cut's
ability to spur employment.
Ribicoff said the hard-core un
employed —• including the large
number of school drop-outs —
are unskilled. No amount of
money pumped in the U. S. eco
nomy can create jobs for the un
educated Ribicoff asserts.
A state-federal all out effort
for two years of public college
would drastically drain the na
tion’s limited teacher resources at
first. But education officials
feel a new demand would spark
higher quality and salaries for
U. S. teachers.
The largest U. S. education
group — the National Education
Association (NEA) — has term
ed present free education stand
ards inadequate for life in a com
plicated U. S. society.
As Wirtz said, current stand
ards “were adopted 150 years ago
and are 150 years out of date.”
Sponsored by the NEA, the
Educational Policies Commission
urged two free years of col
lege-level study for U. S. high
school graduates.
“The nation as a whole has
never accepted the idea of uni
versal opportunity as applying to
education beyond high school,”
the commission said. “It is time
to do so.”
The NEA group said students
should be given general courses
rather than training for a spec-
fic job during the two years
“to develop the tendancy and a.
bility to define problems as well
as solve them.”
Accessibility was just as im
portant as flexibility for students
during the two years of college,
the group said.
Public colleges, the report said,
“should exist in every population
center, and they should expand
through their range beyond their
immediate environs through ra- __
dio, television, self-teaching de-
vices, extension programs and
correspondence courses.”
Neither Wirtz nor the NEA
group mentioned the cost of a
two-year free college program.
For vocational education alone
in 1965, the administration plans
to spend $183.3 million not to
mention federal millions indirect
ly flowing into coffers of present
junior colleges.
