Lodge Rules Out GOP Candidacy
Saigon AP Henry Cabot Lodge announced he will resign as ambassador to South Vietnam to aid Gov. Scranton in blocking Sen. Goldwater for the Republican nomination. He said he has lost his lust for office and will not seek any job. Lodge praised South Vietnam's progress under Prime Minister Nguyen Khanh and anticipated further talks with Scranton and Gov. Rockefeller. He rejected Goldwater’s suggestion he critique the Democratic administration’s Vietnam policy, and noted a belief the fight against the Viet Cong must be viewed in political terms, not as a campaign issue. Khanh later awarded Lodge the Grand Cross of the National Order of Vietnam.
