NIXON TO TOUR
‘Listening’ Only
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) NEW YORK, Feb. 27.
The former Vice-President of the United States, Mr Nixon, will leave for a tour of both sides of the Iron Curtain on Friday, the Associated Press reported. This seemed like an attempt to enhance his bid for the 1968 Republican Presidential nomination, the report said. Mr Nixon’s supporters said that the trip dramatized their claim that Mr Nixon was the only Republican Presidential possibility with a deep, intimate and constantly renewed knowledge of foreign affairs. A top aide emphasised today that this was not a business trip for Mr Nixon’s New York law firm. “This is a personal factfinding trip by the former Vice-President,” the aide said. “He will be listening, not speaking. There will be no scheduled press conferences, no public talks, until he returns to the United States.”
