GOP Rifts Deepen Over Nixon Balkanized Health Post
Washington reports a long running GOP struggle centered on the HEW post after Dr. John Knowles was dumped. Critics say Nixon's selection and the party’s split over socialized medicine reflect the triumph of conservative elements led by Finch and the old guard.
