The GOP caucus room after about 45 minutes and began reading a "statement," which contained nothing of signi- ficance. But suddenly heads turned and feet quickly responded as it be- came clear that the "statement" was merely a ploy to ease the California governor out the back door un- molested.I Since then, the Reagan press have shown a marked adversion to leave their perch outside whatever caucus is in session. Perhaps it's the heat, more likely it's humidity, but most likely of all it is the general retired-businessman mentality of the Republican party that is responsible for this being a placid, and in many ways a down- right dull convention. Sure there are demonstrations, sure there are caucuses, but the dem- onstrations are usually well-re- hearsed with the only spontaneity coming from frumpy little old ladies lucky enough to touch Ronald Rea- gan. And the caucuses ae almost as interested in alloting convention tickets and distributing parking per- mits as in choosing among Nixon, Rockefeller or Reagan. In a lot of ways, the key to the first ballot vote lies in the relatively hard to decipher Southern delega- tions. For with Rockefeller failing to catch fire, Reagan must pick up enough first-ballot votes there to stop Nixon. But in talking with the generally outgoing Southern delegates there is one word which\ keeps recurring whenever they discuss their dele- gations-"fluid."

Nelson Rockefeller's candidacy because, Rockefeller say's, they "have decided that they cannot win their elections unless I am nominated." Esch is up for re-election this fall. His opponent will be former Rep. Weston Vivian, the winner of yesterday's local Democratic primary.

Republicans nominated unop- posed were O. Herbert Ellis, Fourth District; David R. Byrd, Fifth District; and Richard E. Walterhouse, Sixth District. County supervisors were former- ly chosen by the governing bodies of individual municipalities, not by popular election. The change in selection procedures caused the size 6f the normal August pri- mary ballot to increase consider- ably. Local trowel workers gain settlement A fourteen week strike against the Washtenaw County General Contractors and Home Builders Association was brought to a close yesterday when the Trowel Trades Local 14 settled their dispute.. The new contract includes a $2.10 per hour wage increase to be spread over the next two years boosting the trowel tradesmen's wages to $8.29 by Jan. 1, 1970. The union had earlier asked for a $3.00 per hour increase over the next two years while the con- tractors-builders had formerly of- fered a 73 cent increase over the same period of time. By JILL CRABTREE Former Congressman Weston Vivian won the Democratic nom- ination to run for "his old Second District seat by a 4-1 margin yes- terday, defeating challengers A. Jerome Dupont and John McDer- mott. With 44 per cent of the vote counted, Vivian had 5078 votes, followed by Dupont with 1179 and McDermott with 795. On the Republican side, incum- bent Rep.

La~erier, Clark 'Red' Shelton and Earl Willis. Dupont, a recent graduate of the University law school, con- ceded defeat last night around. midnight. Prof. Nicholos Kaza- rinoff of the mathematics depart- ment, Dupon't campaign treas- urer, said his candidate will not ask his backers to take any par- ticular stand on November's Vi- vian-Esch contest. Dupont him- self will announce his own posi- tion within a week. Kazarinoff' added. From his Ypsilanti campaign headquarters, Sheriff Harvey said he did not think investiga- tions of unfair labor practices in his office by the State Labor Me- diation Board and the Attorney General affected yesterday's bal- lotting. "We knew all along we were going to win," he said. Harvey denied reports that uni- formed sheriff's deputies cam- paigned for him yesterday. In the noh-partisan race for the nominations for judge of the Second District Michigan Ap-. peals Court, which takes in Ma- comb, Oakland, Livingston, and Washtenaw counties, Appeals Court Commissioner John F.

The governor has been trying to convince delegates who are running for office this November that Richard Nixon is "a loser" who will hurt rather than help their chances if he heads the ticket. The other two Michigan Con- gressmen were Garry Brown of the Third District and Jack Mc- Donald of the 19th District. A professional Michigan Re- publican worker who is an advis- er to Brown and who worked on Esch's campaign desk in 1966 es- sentially agreed with Rockefeller's analysis. The worker said a state-wide' poll taken by the Michigan Re- publicans party shows, that Rockefeller would beat Hum- phrey in the state by a margin of two per cent while Nixon would win by only one-half of one per cent over the vice-president. "That simply is not enough to create a coattail effect," the source noted. The state Republican source admitted that the Second and Third Districts have traditional- ly voted Republican, and defended Rockefeller's statement on the grounds that an upsurge of in- dustrial and intellectual popula- tions in both districts is chang- ing their political tendencies.

Eisenhower, 77, suffered what Army doctors called a new heart attack early yesterday. The physicians said the outlook for him was "guarded." John, Eisenhower, his son, flew to his X bedside because, he told newsmen, the doctors "thought the situation was serious enough that I should be here." Doctors at Walter Reed Army hospitalrmade norofficial an- nouncerment that Eisenhower had suffered another heart attack, his sixth since 1955 and third in slightly more than three months. But they used the words in an- wers to Written questions submit- ted by newsmen. Eisenhower has been at the army hospital since May 14. Monday night he addressed the Republican National .Convention in Miami Beach by electronic hookup from his hospital suite. In answering questions, the doc- tors said that after his massage, Eisenhower watched the proceed- ings on television for about an hour before retiring. "He felt well and was in good spirits and there is no reason to believe that last night's activity was related to the heart attack he sustained this morning," they said. Asked about his condition, they said: "Any individual who has sustained a recent infarction is considered to be seriously ill." Republican delegates at the convention were asked to send their prayers for his recovery.
