Center Casper's Flower Number 237-2577 McCarthy May Attend Dem Meet in Rawlins nor suggestions for peace negotiations. The speech broke a lengthy and conspicuous silence by Rockefeller on U.S. policy in Southeast Asia, Scores in Primary The launching of his campaign effort came on the heels of a startling Rockefeller showing Tuesday in the Massachusetts presidential primary. The governor, not on the ballot in the Bay State, outpolled both Gov. John A.

Volpe, the overwhelming favorite, and Richard M. Nixon, the frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination. Nixon also was a write-in candidate. Rockefeller praised President Johnson's efforts at finding: peaceful solution to the war, which the governor said has "tormented and frustrated" American like no war in its modern history. "I respect and commend his (Johnson's) initiative in seeking -a just peace," Rockefeller said, "He has acted courageously and in the national interest, He deserves the prayerful support of us all." But Rockefeller, in a dig at Nixon, said he did not believe that "this time of renewed hope is a time to stand in silence.

It is the best of times for calm and candid appraisal- and a quickened search for new solutions." Nixon has called for a moratorium on criticsm of the Vietnam war SO long as the administration seeks to bargain for peace. Emphasize Government Rockefeller said military policy has failed because "we applied the maxim that victory depended on control of territory. But the enemy objective in Vietnam has not been to seize terrain but to disrupt orderly government, misconception led to open-ended escalation easily matched by Hanoi, Peking and Moscow- and a stalemate at an ever-higher level of Rockefeller added. "Meanwhile, the war became 'Americanized' in both manpower and tion." Politically, Rockefeller said, pacification efforts have failed because, giving priority to large battles and border defense, "We never gave the villagers of Vietnam adequate securitywhile the very scale of our operations has tended to undermine a Vietnamese sense of responsibility." All this time, he added, "the efforts to establish a respected national government in South Vietnam have been thwarted by apathy, inexperience, and the difficulty of exporting Western concepts of democracy to a profoundly different society." No Military Solution Rockefeller said that the "great majority of our people have rationally concluded there can be no purely military to the war, He suggested four steps to rectify past failures, including: A new strategy reflecting the essential issue is security of the population rather than control of territory, and that military escalation in the North "is no answer." More realistic objectives for the pacification program, with highest priority going to building and protecting local governments, Reversal of the of the war effort, and helping Saigon to mobilize and develop its best manpower, both military and civilian; and Broadening the national government in Saigon to include important on Communist groups heretofore excluded from the democratic process. Cyclist Hurt Anthony Boor, 25, 211 North Colorado, was admitted to Memorial Hospital with bruises and a possible fracture right leg following a motorcycle truck accident at Second and Jackson early Wednesday, according to police.

Leonard W. Miller, 66, 106 North McKinley, was cited by police for failure to grant the right-of-way after the truck he was driving stopped for a stop sign on Jackson then pulled out onto second and was struck by Boor.

McCarthy's liaison officer for the south said Tuesday that the Minnesota senator may make two stops in Wyoming May 11 and predicted that he will gather some votes from the Wyoming delegation to the Democratic convention in Chicago. Mayne Miller, of Casper, former Congressional candidate and Casper lawyer who is now working in the McCarthy campaign, said plans are underway to have Hanoi Still Is Adamant LONDON (UPI)- Diplomatic sources said today Hanoi has told its allies it stands firmly by its four key conditions- including complete American withdrawal- as the "unalterable for Vietnam peace negotiations, The only issue on which the Communists appear to hold out some degree of compromise is the timetable for the American withdrawal from Vietnam, They said the idea of any softening of Hanoi's politically stand in regard to a Vietnam settlement "can be safely dismissed." Hanoi wants a return in principle to the Geneva agreement of 1954, with the ultimate but not too distant aim of unifying Vietnam under its leadership. Hanoi's four conditions for a settlement call for an end to foreign interference, complete American withdrawal, accep-1 tance of the National Front (the political arm of the Viet Cong) and reunification as the penultimate stage of a peace accord, These ideas reflect the tough mood with which Hanoi is approaching negotiations with the United States- if such negotiations get under way at all, Hanoi appears moreover set on continuing the fighting even while negotiating until it is assured of a settlement, The fencing for a site for preliminary talks to decide whether formal talks can be arranged suggests that Hanoi is no hurry to negotiate.

Johnson Economic Plan Is Approved WASHINGTON (UPI)-The House Appropriations Committee today approved a $22 dollar economic plan recommended by the White House and designed to free President Johnson's long-stalled tax boost. Under the plan. Johnson's spending plans for the new fiscal year would be cut $4 billion. New appropriations would be cut $10 billion and $8 billion in previous appropriations would be rescinded. The package was laid before the committee by top administration officials at a closed session.

It was put together at a White House meeting Tuesday night. Republicans denounced the economy proposal as inadequate. and offered their own counterplan to cut spending by $6 billion. appropriations by $14 billion. and to rescind $6 billion in earlier appropriations.

The GOP plan was rejected and committee Republicans then abstained from voting on the administration proposal worked out in a meeting by Johnson with 1 key Democrats. Saying Republicans were not invited to the meeting. House GOP Leader Gerald R. Ford charged that the planning indicated the administration was injecting election-year partisanship into the matter. Bill Proclaims 100th Yellowstone Birthday WASHINGTON (UPI) Legislation was introduced in the House of Representatives Tuesday asking the President to proclaim 1972 as National Park Centennial Year.

The resolution. introduced by Reps. William Henry Harrison. R- and Roy Taylor. D- N.C..

said the designation would honor the 100th birthday of Yellowstone National Park in northwest Wyoming. the nation's first. The resolution also called for establishment of a commission to draw up plans for a world conference on national parks proposed for Yellowstone in 1972. Harrison said the park "gave the world the much emulated example of how best to preserve our rich and irreplaceable natural beauty." The resolution was drafted for Harrison and Taylor. who is chairman of the House Interior Subcommittee on National Parks and Recreation, by the National Park Service.

the senator stop in Rawlins May 11 to briefly address the state Democratic convention and then depart "posthaste" to Laramie for a talk on the university campus. Miller pointed out that Wyoming will carry more weight than usual at Chicago with its "disproportionate" tion strength as several Southern states who bolted the party last election have had their delegation numbers docked. For example, he said, Arkansas with almost two million residents will only carry 33 votes to the convention while Wyoming, with a population of 330,000, will have 22 delegate votes. McCarthy is concentrating everything on the primaries, Miller said, and a win in Indiana might force Kennedy out of the race. Miller said polls show McCarthy running third in Indiana but explained that the polls were taken before the New Hampshire primary results were tabulated.

Miller predicted that the senator will do "good" in Oregon and in California. Recentreleased polls, he said, show McCarthy as the strongest Democratic candidate in California. McCarthy stands to gather a great deal of strength from the non-primary states, especially the Southern ones where "'the hatred for Kennedy is almost unbelievable" and where no one owes Humphrey any favors, Miller explained. The senator plans to campaign extensively there after June 4, he added. "We have as good a chance as anyone else," Miller predicted, "and polls show us as hav.

ing the best chance among all Democratic candidates of winning in November." ENJOY SUN: Tuesday's 74-degree temperature start on their summer tans.
