Though he turned 60 last week, Nelson Rockefeller showed all the ebullience of a conventioneering Jaycee as he bounced from coast to coast in a spurt of razzle-dazzle campaigning. He rode a motorized ricksha and a cable car in San Francisco, a trolley in St. Louis, a stern-wheeler on the Ohio near Louisville, and a pea-green convertible in Wall Street.

Manley, Chicago port director, who estimates that 750,000 tons of cargo will be diverted to East Coast ports by this week. Such losses could saddle U.S. and Canadian taxpayers with extra burdens. Seaway traffic has lagged so far behind expectations that the $460 million U.S.-Canadian project is still losing money.
