CALIFORNIA PRIMARY COULD EARN KUCHEL SECOND SPOT WASHINGTON ---Presidential elections are won*hot in states such as New Hampshire and Arizona, each with four electoral votes, but in New York, California, Pennsylvania and the other big«city states. This basic fact ‘underscores the announcement of Sen. ThomasH. Kuchel (R. Calif.) that he will support Gov. Nelson Rockefeller for the Presidential nomination inthe California primary. Kuchel's forthright statement implies two convictions about the contest just ahead. One is that Richard M. Nixon, now putting himself forward as the compromise G.O.P. candidate, could not carry the state in which he once resided. ‘Second and more important is the convic~tion that aRepublican cannot win simply by saying "No": to Democratic programs and Democratic promises, Those Republicans, Kuchel says, who would repudiate historic party principles, who would tear to shreds basic pledges of 1952, 1956 and 1960, would do a tragic disservice to the Republican party. They would endanger, if not destroy, the American two-party system. The 1960 platform, whichwas in considerable part the handiwork of Rockefeller after his famous midnight meeting with Nixon, has already been rejected by Sen. Barry Goldwater. He hassaid he would not run on it, and for good measure he-has added, with a cynical realism that may be a luxury for a Presidential candidate, that platforms have in any event very little meaning. Kuchel can certify his claim to knowledge of how to carry the big-city states. Against a Democratic tide that saw Nixon defeated for Governor by 300,000 votes in 1962, Kuchel was re-elected by a majority of 750,000. And this was despite the sniping from the extreme right of his party calling for his political head. Witha flock of candidates divided six ways to Sunday, the outcome of the New Hampshire primary may, when the votes are counted, mean very little. The bitter feud that helped to bring about the election of a Democratic GWwernor and Senator in that rock-ribbed Republican state has been injected into the primary. With the entrance of former Gov. Wesley Powell as a “favorite son", the venom is: flowing again. Mrs. Doloris Bridges, the widow of the Senator, who has embraced the Goldwater cause with all the zeal of which she is capable, is Powell's sworn enemy. . The California primary, if only because it is held in the state with the largest population in the Union, is of the first importance It comes on June 3, little more than a monthbeforethe G.O.P. convention in San Fran-« é ¢ cisco. ‘ Goldwater could come out of New Hanipshire with a majority of the delegates. He could, as he almost certainly will, take Nebraska. Republican leaders in Illinnois are promising tocarry that state for Goldwater. Yet, giving primaries their full weight in the scale, if Goldwater weretolose California, he would fail of the nomination. This isnot tosay that a win for Rockefeller in the West would put him in first place for the prize. At this writing his divorce and remarriage seem too grave a handicap. That is the reason that in ‘most Republican conclaves today the haunting Third Man Theme is background music for the cheering for conspicuous candidates. The Kuchel statement above all underlined a fundamental reality: Rockefeller has demonstrated that he can win elections in a key state. He was re-elected in 1962 despite the opposition of a Conservative Party that took 100,000 votes. New York has two Republican Senators as well as a Republican Governor, Whether the Democrats can carry it for President Johnson in November is a principal concern of party strategists. The question of whether any Republican candidate can put together a winning combination in the face of the profound alteration that began with the tragedy of November 22 is troubling those who look honestly at the deep divisions in the party. : . The Senator from California faces up to this doubt, He saysthat a candidate who is dedicated to social progress athome andto the support of collective security through the United Nations and through other peace-keeping ma-~ & chinery can win. : He has made a difficult choice. What is important is that he has made a choice at a time when the right wing ef his party in his state threatened to take over the California delegation. » Talk has been heard of a Rockefeller-Kuchel ticket, That may souhd improbable. But if the third man now rising, Gov. William Scranton of Pennsylvania, should come up, a Scranton-Kuchelticket would unite two-bigcity states with men who understand the politics of urban America.
