Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - June 22, 1970, Mount Pleasant, Iowa H it pleasant. News vol. 92, no. 146 it. Pleasant Iowa monday evening june 22, 1970 Price to cents these Days by John Chamberlain can conservative Jim Buckley make it to the u. S. Senate the new York. Conservative party has been criticized As a a a spoilers group. In two successive new York City mayoralty campaigns with attractive candidates of its own Bill Buckley in 1965 and John Marchi in 1969it succeeded Only in splitting the conservative opposition to its hated Liberal Republican Nemesis John Vliet Lindsay who now threatens to parlay two local municipal triumphs to a 1972 presidential nomination on the democratic ticket. Let us hasten to add that this would hardly be a deadly menace to the Republic Lindsay would be snowed under by the trans appalachian vote undaunted by its failures the new York conservative party is now running James l. Buckley for the u. S. Senate. The difference this time however is that there is nothing for the conservatives to the Republican nominee Charles Goodell who has All of Liberal Republican senator Jacob javits a bad Points and none of his Good ones is already so close to worthless to the Nixon administration that if Jim Buckley helps elect a Democrat it wont matter. On the other hand the various democratic aspirants As of this moment of writing Are All of a kind. Between Goodell the nominal Republican and the democratic Bug out of Vietnam democrats Sorensen Paul of Dwyer and the rest there is As much difference As there is Between a couple of pieces of Buckshot or the proverbial peas., too since there is no question of a a spoiling anything Worth spoiling Jim Buckley can plunge into his Campaign with a Clear conscience and a Light heart. The crazy thing about it is that he has a fair Chance of winning. Two years ago when he ran on the conservative ticket he got la million votes an impressive total when one considers that javits his 1968 Republican opponent has All the popularity that Charles Goodell so conspicuously lacks. In a recent private poll the $15,000 variety with All the works the Buckley support in new York state checked out at a 1.5 million level against any a a Liberal candidate of the older parties. The probable turnout next november will be six million. In a three Way race 2,3 million should be enough to win. Buckley now in the Par East from which he will return Home by Way of Israel is Only 800,000 Short of the necessary figure and he Hasni to even begun to Campaign. Buckley has logged an average of 60,000 Miles a year in foreign travel for the last fourteen years. He is a rarity among Oil men in that he has Oil interests practically everywhere save in the Arab countries which with either Luck or perspicacity he has managed to skip. He did look for Oil in Israel once but since he did t find it he will be Able to make up his mind in our most controversial foreign policy area without any nagging personal economic conflicts of interest. Too Jim Buckley has some of the intellectual qualities of his brother Bill a Lucid grasp of fact and a Good sense of irony he lacks his brother a flippancy which in the Earnest reaches of upstate new York where they distrust the Manhattan Patina could be a plus. And he has the most Beautiful slow warm smile in politics. Furthermore he is As he has already been telling upstate voters a the Only candidate who supports president will the a Nixon support Factor be lost on the Many republicans who think Charles Goodell once a conservative member of the House of representatives let them Down to go Hunting in javits country without any of javits sense of marksmanship state senator John Marchi is already lining up republicans for Buckley. Clif White the adept political organizer who helped put Anderson Carter Over in the recent new Mexico Republican senatorial primary is rumoured to be in Jim a Corner. And five Republican congressmen a Martin Mckneally of Newburgh Carleton King of Saratoga Springs James Grover of Babylon James Hastings of Allegany and Hamilton pish of Millbrook a have gone out of their Way to show friendliness for Jim. Friendliness of course is not support. Yet it could be the cause of support from others. Jim would certainly reciprocate by voting with the republicans to organize the u. S. Senate. So Nixon Penn Central r r files for reorganization Philadelphia up a rebuffed when it sought a $200 million Federal loan to Shore its deteriorating finances the nations largest Railroad the Penn Central has filed for reorganization under the bankruptcy act. The Railroad which carries 100,-000 commuters daily lost $62.7 million in the first three months of 1970 and $193 million in 1969. Company spokesmen said bankruptcy would not affect passenger or freight service. All 94,000 of the firms employees were ordered to continue work. Too the action sunday will prevent the company a creditors from moving for immediate collection of debts pending appointment by a Federal judge of trustees to run the firms affairs. The petition was the opposite of a Normal bankruptcy proceeding. Usually All properties and assets of a bankrupt firm Are turned into Cash and distributed a Mong the creditors. Too under Section 77 of the Federal bankruptcy act however covering Only railroads a trusteeship is set up to adjust the lines debts preserve its properties and keep it operating. A the court order permits Penn Central transportation company to retain Possession of and continue operation of the Railroad system and to conduct other Normal business pending the appointment of trustees by the court a the firm said in a 25-line statement. The firm filed for reorganization when the last Hope faded for the Federal government to come up with a previously promised guarantee for a $200 million loan.
