MILLIONAIRE WITH ‘MAGIC TOUCH’ [FSS It all depends which version HE millionaire with the T “magic touch,” Nelson Rock- efeller, who beat the aloof millionaire Averell Harriman to become Republican gover- nor of New York State, is now in line to fill President Eisen- hower’s post in_ 1960. The most high-powered pub- licity machine in the world has been run into gear to present him as the typical representa- tive of modern Americans. It started full blast during the election campaign. Instead of playing down the contest between two Wall Street barons as casting an un- kind light on the perfection of American democracy, the ma- chine decided to “catch the American imagination” and gave the contest the full treat- ment. Nelson Rockefeller was pre- sented as the millionaire with something different — a man of the people, gifted, dynamic, cultured, a man no longer per- sonally interested in his wealth. But the Rockefeller name smells of oil..Grandfather John D. won it, grandson Nelson holds on to it; the class war and national oppression that went to its accumulation is what they want the Americans to forget. At the close of the last cen- tury the Rockefellers built the Standard Oil trust, a virtual monopoly of the industry in a series of vicious struggles, which caused Life magazine to write: “The new set-up was es- tablished by John D. Rocke- feller senior after manoeuvres so ruthless that they made him one of the most hated men in America.” ; 5 03 os x With the aim of preserving the U.S. oil monopoly, not only at home but internationally, Nelson Rockefeller outlined the. aims of the Eisenhower Doc- trine whereby it was intended that the U.S. should dominate the Middle East. Addressing himself to Eisen- hower, he said that the U.S. “should widely and_ wisely make use of economic aid to those countries which we in- tend to draw into alliance with us.” The way would then be open, he said, “to step up both our political price and military demands.” When the Eisenhower Doc- trine was defeated in the Mid- dle East, it was Rockefeller who came forward with what >ecame known as the“ Rocke- feller Doctrine.” NELSON ROCKEFELLER The reek of oil A 25,000-word report pro- duced by a committee which he headed called for American forces to be prepared for “a range of possible limited wars, from conflicts with the partici- pants of several countries, to small political actions.” It urged that military units should be created “capable of effecting a quick intervention” and units whould could wage ‘Jimited atomic wars.” The Rockefeller Doctrine was put into practice with the military invasion of Lebanon by exactly such units as he had called for. xt xt xt This is the real face of the Rockefellers. But it was not what the New York electors were to be asked to vote for. Rockefeller’s election agent spent a fortune to disguise the real millionaire. In all this Rockefeller was following the family, tradition. Long ago, after Rockefeller steelworkers had been killed in 1914, and subsequently oil workers shot by Rockefeller guards, the Rockefellers launched a major campaign to “sweeten” their name. One commentator wrote of this: “Thanks to the unre- mitting labor over a period of / WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A RECESSION No DEPRESSION > 20 years of Ivy Lee (a public relations expert), the most adroit accelerator of public opinion since P. T. Barnum, Rockefeller has been canon- ised.” And so in place of an oil monopoly and a foreign policy that at all costs seeks to pre- vent the Arab people coming into their own, we are given a picture of the president of a gigantic philanthropic founda- tion. Despite his victory, he can- not be feeling too confident. For the American people have shown that they are not pre- pared to put up for ever with the results of Wall Street rule. Nor are the peoples of many cf the countries where Stand- ard Oil still holds sway. The writing is on the wall, and even the posters of the public relations experts cannot conceal it. whi Ukrainian collectio of Rockefeller Doctrine you read tons in folk singing UPERLATIVE singing and masterly accompaniment on the bandura, a _ plucked string instrument popular in the Ukraine, make Songs and Dances of the Ukraine (12-in.
