Rockefeller Resigns Governorship
ALBANY, N. Y. <A>) _ Nelson
A. Rockefeller resigned as gover
nor of New York Tuesday after
15 years in office and insisted the
decision was not part of a drive
for the presidency.
‘T have concluded that I can
render a greater public service
to the people of New York and the
nation by devoting myself to the
work of two bipartisan national
commissions,” Rockefeller told a
news conference.
The resignation will become ef
fective next Tuesday, and Lt. Gov.
Malcolm Wilson, a fellow Republi
can and Rockefeller’s running
mate in four election campaigns,
will take over as governor.
“My only regret is that my
undertaking these tasks has been
interpreted as a political maneu
ver to seek the presidency,”
Rockefeller said. “I am not a
candidate for nomination for the
presidency or for any other politi
cal office. Whether I will become
a candidate in the future, I do not
know. I should like to keep my
options Open.”
He continued to issue disclaim
ers under persistent questioning.
State Republican leaders con
tacted Tuesday, however, viewed
the decision as a prelude to an
other run at the White House.
One state GOP chairman, South
Carolina’s Kenneth C. Powell,
said, “The more time you have
to pursue anything, the better

quested to hold a meeting over a
staff member’s dispute. Staff
meetings have been held specifi
cally to keep me out.”
Ms. Ashwill’s paycheck was the
one used to do this and she said
she had agreed to do this only if
she could get additional money,
also. Rice showed the SPB financ
ial recox-ds kept by his secretary
that showed he only got about
one-fifth of the vacant position’s
money and that the other four-
fifths went to the rest of the
staff. Rice said he felt that in
“emergency” situation he could
pay himself more but since he
lacked a real adviser on the mat
ter he id what he though was
right.
