Agnew Revival

Trying to stop the speculation about who will replace Spiro Agnew on the Republican ticket, President Nixon hinted that maybe nobody would. It was high time to give the Vice President his due, Nixon told his aides, who promptly got busy polishing up the Agnew escutcheon. The Vice President has been handed more visible duties, like defending the Administration's economic policies at this month's meeting of Governors in Puerto Rico. His picture adorned the cover of Monday, the publication of the Republican National Committee. He is slotted for a key role at the four regional conferences of Republican Governors next month. He may also take heart from the fact that 1968's old standbys are assuming the same jobs in the 1972 campaign. Attorney General John Mitchell is expected to resign in January to manage the campaign, and Maurice Stans will quit as Secretary of Commerce to take charge of fund raising.
