Wisconsin is shaping up as the most crucial test for both Nixon and Michigan's Governor George Romney.

...Wire. To date, Rockefeller's strategy has been to keep Romney's cause afloat at least through the first three or four state primaries. But the pressure is increasing for Rockefeller to speak up for himself and to campaign openly in Oregon, where he has strong support.
