Some of the comments sent in by
voters were very critical of Rocke-feller.
A sampling of the biting re-marks
include: "Although I voted
for Rockefeller the first time he ran
for governor I would never do so

Becker Hits Wheat
Deal With Russia
Representative Frank J. Recker
(R. of New York) said last week that
"No ])atriotic American .shovdd load
a single grain of blood-stained
wheat for Soviet Russia after their
brutal miu-der of three Americans
engaged in a routine flying mission."
Representative Becker said the
destruction of an American plane
\\ ith three crewmen aboard "i.s an
abominable act, which indicated the
true brutality of the Soviet System,"
Becker said "AnK'ricans have been
deceived by the han">ies at the State
Department io believe the sale of
wheat to the Communists is simply
a business deal."
"We have proof that the Cold
^Var has not thawed," Becker said.
"We should know that Conununism
cannot be coddled, that it retains
its inherent bnitality and hatred of
Americanism."
The New York Congressman said
the prestige of the United States
has fallen to a new low when our
planes can be ruthlessly destroyed
without fear of retaliation.
