off remains to be seen. Presi-
dent Kennedy is himself per-
sonally popular with millions
of voters in the State.. But
Gov. Rockefeller has twir?
been elected Governor. and
the Kennedys are not taking
any chances. They probably
look with considerable favor
on the Conservative Party,
organized in New York lira
year with Republican bi -k-
ing, to bring about the r:. -
feat of both Gov. Pockefeller
and Senator Javlt.s The same
outfit already is laying Its
plans to defeat the Governor
for the 0. O. 'P. preeide.tt1a 1
nomination and to defeat
Senator Keating for renomi-
nation. T h i s Conservative
Party polled about 141,000
votes in the 1162 gubernato-
rial election for its own can-
didate, vhich reduced Gov.
Rrx?kefcller?s margin of vic-
tory over Mr. Morgenthau.
