Rockefeller Tuesday to enter GOP presidential race but the New governor said he is still weighing the matter. Some 17 of the 36 Republican senators turned up for breakfast with the governor.

The host, Sen. Thruston B. Morton of Kentucky, said: "No commitments were asked. None were given." Rockefeller told reporters afterwards that most of those who attended thought he should run on grounds "competition in the Republican party is healthy. They felt from the point of view of the party and the country this was he said.

After the session, Rockefeller flew back to New York for talks concerning his state budget. An aide said an announcement will be made Wednesday in Albany on where and when the governor will issue his promised statement of political intentions. WOULD ENTER OREGON Rockefeller did indicate that if he runs he will sidestep all primaries except the one in Oregon May 28. He said an effort to place him on the ballot for the May 14 Nebraska primary, spite last week's filing deadline, is due to "a great deal of pressure" from forces supporting Richard M. Nixon.

"This is Nixon country," he said, adding he will not campaign there in any case. Rockefeller's appearance here and his news conference afterwards took the political spotlight at least temporarily from feuding Democrats. While Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, remained in his Washington office, mapping campaign plans, Sen.

Eugene J. McCarthy took his antiwar campaign to Washington's predominantly Negro Howard University. And supporters of the two agreed here they would join forces against President Johnson's backers in the May 7 District of Columbia primary. In his speech at Howard, McCarthy called for a guaranteed annual income and vast increases in federal housing and education programs but warned "these programs will only be a dream, only rhetoric, as long as this nation continues to wage its unjust war in Vietnam." PRESIDENT CRITICIZED McCarthy criticized Johnson's proposals to cut back domestic spending to improve chances for a tax increase and said they "cast an ominous shadow" over the recommendations by his riot commission for multibillion dollar measures to help the cities. Johnson's response to the commission's report, McCarthy E.

The Mackey Mortuary, Funeral Directors, said, "seems to be more disorder, more riots and more "Until this week," McCarthy added, "President Johnson has assured us that we could fight both wars-the war in Vietnam and the war on poverty and ignorance at home. "In fact," he added, "we are only fighting one war and not winning any." The senator said the United States has been like a colonial power in regard to its Negro citizens. "Unlike the great European colonial powers," he went on, "we cannot pretend that our obligations ended with emancipation. "We must spend as much money as it takes over the next five, 10, 15 or 20 years as long as it, takes--to meet these needs," he added. McCarthy picked up his first supporter in the Wisconsin congressional delegation.

Rep. Henry S. Reuss said in Milwaukee he will vote for McCarthy in the April 2 primary.

Thursday. Duckett Funeral Home, Central, is in charge. I am thirteen years old, and I try to do what I believe is right, but I always have bad luck, no matter what I do. I have almost come to believe that God doesn't love me anymore because everything I touch goes wrong. Please help me.

J. H. Dear J. As we develop into grown-ups we all go through an awkward stage where it seems that nothing goes right. Just as we have "growing pains" physically, we have "growing pains" mentally and spiritually.

To you, this seems like bad luck, but it is normal and you shouldn't be too frustrated. It is all part of the process of developing into an adult. Please don't feel that these things happen because God doesn't love you. He loves awkward people just as much as He loves those who are adroit, and perhaps even more. And what you are experiencing isn't "bad luck." I read no place in the Bible about bad luck.

Everything that happens to a believer, both good and ill, is for our good, and for our growth. The Bible says, "All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called, (Romans according to his purI have recently been ill, and I don't blame it upon bad luck. Perhaps God knew that my bod; and mind needed rest, and He put me in bed. This has been a time of great benefit and blessing to me, and I will come out of it a better person. Take all that hapens to you (even the ill) and say, 'God is working out His purpose, and I will praise Him."
