While Reckefeller was originally planning to use his regular Convair
for this trip, the plans are now revised and he is going to come in
on a DC-7 in order to accommodate the press party which will be
accompanying him.
The State Chairman, Bjella apparently made a statement last week
saying that although the North Dakota delegation had endorsed the
Vise President, he wanted to male it clear that the delegates were,
of course, not bound by this endorsement. Also, Milt Rue, former
National Committeeman and influential Party leader has made the
statement that he always was and still is, in favor of Rockefeller's
nomination.
Apparently much of the local leadership is very sonserned about the
possible effect and content of Reckefeller's farm address in James-
town. They feel that this could pose a serious problem for them if
he comes out with the wrong kind of a program.
I detected sensiderable annoyance at the fact that Reckefeller has
moved a large Grow of his Advance Men and P.R. people into the
State to set up the details of the visit and have completely taken
things out of the hands of the local people. There is definitely
a feeling that Rocksfeller is not making this trip for Governor
Davis but rather for himself and that much of what is being planned
will not give Davis any particular benefit. However the leadership
feels that they, of course, must cooperate to the fullest extent
because that part of the trip which will help Davis, of course, is
of tremendous value to them.
Andrews, at least, is somewhat resentful of the fact that everyone
seems so exsited over the possibility of shaking hands with $200,000,000
but they have completely lest interest in working on the Senatorial
campaign and instead are working on arrangements for the Rockefeller
visit.
