'Who'd you ever lick?' liliSlli' tm: tVxww II' MyiW Rockefeller makes himself a candidate and fuels stop-Goldwater movement Governor Nelson Rockefeller of New York apparently has decided all the editorial writers were wrong when they wrote off Jils chances for the Republican nomination next year. The write-off occurred after Rockefeller bad married Mrs. Murphy (not the Mrs. Murphy of the current boarding-house fame). Well, ; editorial writers have been wrong before, and Rockefeller may be just the man to prove it. Rockefeller, in a statement he obviously hopes will become a Re publican manifesto, tore into sev eral groups which have made up much of the core of the draft-Gold-water movement. As has been pointed out before, membership of the groups involved is a sort of al batross around the neck of the Sen ator from Arizona, who is a pretty darned decent sort of guy. A portion of Goldwater'S follow ing comes from young white race supremists in the South, although their man does not agree with their views. Rockefeller attacked them. Another source of Goldwater strength is in the economic reaction ary group, the Liberty Amendment boys and their friends. Rockefeller gave them hell, too. An unwanted role Jon Lindbergh, son of the famous Lindy, found himself in an unwanted spot the other day. Jon was a hero. A diving contractor in San Diego, he had released an in jured man from a trapped helicopter. Jon Lindbergh's life has been devoted to avoiding publicity. His parents moved to England shortly before he was born, in order to avoid the publicity which had been a part of the Lindbergh existence since Charles A. first flew the At lantic. His courtship, marriage, the kidnapping and murder of his first born son, all added to his instinctive In defense A few short months ago The Bulletin arranged with Elizabeth Chenoweth, one of Bend's junior cit izens, to have Elizabeth produce a weekly column for this newspaper. The column has come under some attack, and has gained some praise, from readers In recent weeks. This has not been discussed with Eliza beth; she's entitled to say subject to the standard limitations what she wants in her column, Just as readors subject to the standard limitations are entitled to say what they want about It. But, reading some of the letters nd hearing some of the comments, one suspects there is a group of Chenoweth readers who labor under some misunderstanding of the whole business. The column was not intended, by either the newspaper or the writ er, to be anything more than a voice tor a literate, intelligent, teen-ager. Elizabeth, as all columnists, has al most complete freedom to pick her own subjects and write what she pleases about them. Some readers feel she's not "deep" enough; they think she ought to spend more time on books, music, art, or burning social questions of the day. Others of Elizabeth Rockefeller's remarriage gave a tremendous impetus to Goldwater's chances for the nomination. His stock took such a decided upward swing that he's gained that honor which comes to few men a strong move is under way to stop him. Rockefeller's statement, designed to give a clearer understanding of what he thinks the Republican party should be and should stand for, is also a part of the stop-Goldwater movement. Most of the strength of the movement comes from the larger states, states which already had been written off, unrealistically, by Goldwater supporters as being un important. In the forefront are Re publican leader In Such states as New York, California, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. - The real strength of the stop Goldwater movement comes from Republican pros in those large states. They do not fear Goldwater; they do fear the effect his candidacy would have on election returns for state and Congressional offices in their own states. Party pros are nothing if not extremely realistic about the results of a Southern-Midwestern based election campaign. dislike for too much public atten tion. - Jon was a college student ten years ago. He was a well-liked, but somewhat retiring youngster. He largely disappeared from public view after he was born. His schooling was quiet. He moved to San Diego after his graduation from college, and formed a company to do con tract diving in San Diego harbor. Jon Lindbergh is a nice guy. He deserves some admiration for his action. But he won't like the hero role in which he's been cast. complain her attitude toward life and some of her subjects is not the same as theirs. But, she's entitled to do things her way. In addition, the column was not intended by either Elizabeth or the newspaper to be a "voice" for Central Oregon teenagers, or any particular group of them. It was not Intended by anyone that It should be of interest solely to teenagers; a number of parents read it, too. Some like it, some don't; this Is as it should be. The column is being handled quite satisfactorily as far as the newspaper is concerned. It isn't like the New York Times. But then Cen tral Oregon is not like New York, and probably never will be. And The Bulletin Is not like The Times, a state of affairs which is pleasing to both The Bulletin and The Times. Quotable quotes Positive action to reduce crime must begin with the Individual citi zen. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, commenting on the record crime rate in the United States last year. Rockefeller's blast at Sen. Goldwater prompted by John Birch attempts to subvert Republicans By Drtw Pearson NEW YORK Behind the tough statement issued by Gov. Nelson Rockefeller against Sen. Barry Goldwater and his right wing crusade were some alarm ing reports regarding fascist tact ics used by Goldwaterites at the recent Young Republicans' con vention in San Francisco. At that convention mob rule broke out, right-wingers tried to seize the gavel of the moderate president, and police had to be called in to restore order when playing the National Anthem fail ed to keep the Goldwaterites standing at attention so they would not rush the rostrum. The senator himself, address ing the convention, did nothing to calm the radical right or disas sociate himself from the John Birchites behind the fascist tact ics. "I had told him about the riot ing that occurred earlier in the day and asked for his aid in calm ing the situation," Leonard Nad asdy, retiring president of the Young Republicans told this col umn. "He promised to try to calm the crowd. But the only mention he made of the situation was to comment about the great spirit of the delegates. It was like pour ing gasoline on the flames." "Go Back to Russia" Nadasdy has been president of the Young Republicans for two years. The organization has a membership of around half a mil lion and traditionally follows a Discount rate increase points out U.S. living beyond income By Lylt C. Wilton UPI Stiff Writer In the simple terms of what really goes on, the Federal Re- , serve Board's increase in its dis count rate is in recognition of the unhappy fact that the United States is living beyond its income abroad as well as at home. The immediate purpose of the rate Increase is to make it more profitable to keep certain money on deposit and drawing Interest in the United States than abroad; or, at least, not less profitable to have the money here than elsewhere. If it works that way, the Unit ed States balance of payments position will be improved. The U.S. balance of payments posi tion Is the end result of the all international dealings between the United States and its people and foreign nations and their people. For some years now we have spent or given away abroad a lot more than foreigners have spent in the United States. This deficit In the international bal ance of payments is made up by payment in US. dollars. Accumulated Dollars Foreign individuals and govern ments happily accumulated these dollars immediately after the war. The U.S. dollar was so sturdy and so much sought that much of the free world used ac cumulated dollars as backing for its own currency. The dollar, literally, was as good as gold. Better, maybe, because it was handier in the pocket. The U.S. gold dollar also had some gold backing, up to 25 per cent. About J12 billion of the gold hoard accumulated by the United States was and is required to provide that 25 per cent gold backing of the U.S. dollar. For eign owners of U.S. dollars got a much better deal than that. Each of their dollars was backed by gold 100 per cent. That came about because the Roosevelt administration commit ted the United States in 1934 to sell to foreigners gold at $35 an ounce. That commitment still holds. So a foreigner with U.S. dollars has been able to demand in exchange U.S. gold to the value of his dollars. The Citizens Foreign Aid Committee calculates that on Dec. 31. 1952, the U.S. gold reserve was $23.2 billion and the gold reserve of all other free world countries was $13 billion. The U.S. gold hoard today Is down to $15 6 billion whereas the Barbs Statistics say the average American takes over 18.000 steps a day. How many know where they're going? Wa don't in much but chivalry that dayt. It't becoming a stand ing joke. On an awful lot of one-party lines the one party is usually a teen-age daughter. It serves a woman right if, for a bridge prixe, she gets tha incense burner she gave at a priie previously. Washington Merry- go policy of steering clear of intra party battles. When Nadasdy tried to continue that policy, right wing Republicans shouted: "Go back to Russia.' He was trying at that time to enforce a provision in the Young Republicans' constitution that state delegates only may vote in the election of officers, not the al ternates. The Goldwater backers and the radical right wanted alter nates Included under a unit rule provision in order to elect David Lukens, the Goldwater candidate. When Nadasdy ruled this out of order, pandemonium broke loose. "Several members of the Cali fornia delegation tried to rush the rostrum in order to take the gavel away," Nadasdy told this column, "but fortunately members of the Pennsylvania and New York dele gations, located in front of the rostrum, held them off. 'There were fistfights oa the floor," he said. "I've never seen such violence at a political affair. Their goal was to completely con fuse everybody. There was screaming and hollering. It was like a nightmare." John Birch Platform Opposing Lukens for the Young GOP presidency was Charles Mc Devltt of Boise, Idaho, who fol lowed the traditional policy of tak ing no stand for Goldwater, Rock efeller, Romney or any other candidate. Lukens was from Washington, D.C., had been carefully picked by the Goldwater crowd, and 5SMBtsnaraia5 gold holdings of other free world nations had increased by Dec. 31, 1961, to $23.6 billion. Soma Still Hold Dollars The committee calculated that from Dec. 31, 1952, to Dec. 31, 1961, the U.S. balance of pay ments deficit was about $19.6 billion. Our overseas spending in those years was that much more than we received from overseas. Obviously, many foreigners no longer regard the U.S. dollar as good as gold. But some still do hold dollars and that creates an other problem. The American Institute for Economic Research at Great Bar rington, Vt., calculated in Au gust, 1962, that those outstanding foreign dollar claims already ex ceeded the capacity of the Unit ed States to make good in gold. If the foreigners demanded their gold we could not pay up. This would create a catastrophic chaos In the free world where the dollar is a vital part of the in ternational economy. Chairman Harry F. Byrd of the Senate Finance Committee ex plained this situation in a speech the other day and added: "I re gard this as our most serious fis cal and financial problem. House education committee may institute South school hardship By Al Kuettner UPI Staff Writer The House Education Committee may take up next week a measure that could hit the South hard in its school money pocketbook. The bill, already approved by a subcommittee, is designed to en courage quicker desegregation of public schools. It would deny fed eral funds in five categories to segregated schools after June 30, 1965. Many states get large amounts of federal aid from the five pro grams: The National Defense Ed ucation Art. an "Impact area" program that provides federal aid to public schools in areas whore there arc large concentrations of troops, services to rural libraries, aid to land grant (state) colleges and aid to vocational education. Goes to Science In Georgia, for example, the state Education Department re ceives $1.RM,000 per year under Defense Education Act. The mon ey goes generally for science pro grams, testing and guidance. School libraries get about $212, 000 and another $4 million goes to vocational education. Land grant colleges get about $295,000. A major question that arises is how such a law might affect a state like Georgia. State officials point out that all school segrega tion laws have been removed. "How can you say we are sogre- .,- rl. .. k -... The Bulletin Friday, July 19, 1963 An Independent Newspaper Robert W.

He is for the abolition of the income tax, favors U.S. with drawal from the United Nations, wants to subjugate the U.S. Su preme Court by adopting a high er court of state justices. "After observing his first plat form," said retiring President Nadasdy, "he seemed to be say ing exactly what the Birchites wanted him to say." Two Republican congressmen came to San Francisco to help the radical right and the Goldwa terites, Nadasdy said W. E. (Bill) Brock, the Chattanooga candy manufacturer who was elected with John Birch support: and John M. Ashbrook of Ohio. "They spent a great deal of time working behind the scenes to elect the Goldwater candidate," Nadas dy said, "even though it is an ac cepted fact that regular party members stay out of our elec tions." "I want to alert the Republi cans as to the real objective of the John Birch Society and the radical right, namely to subvert the Republican party and seize control," said the retiring presi dent. "The radical right is just like the Communists. They drive good people away." Word of these right wing tact ics which got back to Gov. Rock efeller was one of the reasons he issued his warning blast against Sen. Goldwater and his opera tions. Earthquake rattles NW Italy GENOA, Italy (UPI) . Earth tremors today rumbled through a wide area of northwest Italy, causing panic in many of the Riviera towns but no appreci able damage. Three shocks came in quick suc cession about 6:45 a.m. (1:45 a m. EDT) and officials of two meteor ological observatories said the third and strongest registered five on the Mercalli scale. Another minor earthquake was reported in Japan, ,and in Sicily, Mt. Etna began spewing lava. The tremors were felt in two big cities, Genoa and Turin, in small towns all along the Riviera between Genoa and the French border and in the mountain towns of the Valle d'Aosta region. Many persons ran out of their homes in panic and stood in the streets or gathered on the beaches. At Ventimiglia, near the French border, several persons fainted from fright. In some homes there, plaster was shaken loose and win dows cracked but the damage was reported to be light. In one apartment house at Al benga, 12 persons fainted, most of them women. gated?" they ask. While no public schools outside of Atlanta have actually been in tegrated, the officials point out that no Georgia school can be de clared legally segregated. The action of the House group apparently is being taken without the full backing of tho Kennedy administration which wants the right to deny the school aid but not a blanket ban. This is the second time the use of such federal funds has been brought Into play as a persuasive desegregation weapon. During the Eisenhower administration, an ex ecutive order was issued by the President cutting out certain fed eral aid to segregated schools in military post areas that were used by service personnel. At that time, Georgia schools were still strictly segregated and the government began operating some classes on the Fort Benning reservation at Columbus. The new proposal would be far more sweeping and could affect hundreds of schools to some de gree. IN "BAD TASTE" PRINCES RISBOROUGH. Eng land (UPI) Anglican vicar the Rev.

Inclement weather could spoil Maine eclipse show BAR HARBOR, Maine (UPD Nature could spoil nature's big show Saturday, at least for spec tators on the ground. The weather was topmost in the minds of scientists gathering here to observe the total eclipse of the sun. The weather bureau forecast a light cover of puffy cumulus clouds over central Maine, the only area in the United States except Alaska where the eclipse may be seen in its entirety. A forecaster said the chances are better than 50-50 that the to tal eclipse will be seen by most persons except in spots where clouds obscure nature's most awesome performance. Though the forecast generally is favorable, New England is widely known for its whimsical weather. If the weather cooperates, the eclipse will be viewed by about 100,000 persons including scien tists on the ground and in jet aircraft traveling nearly twice the speed of sound at altitudes up Crime rate in United States broke all records last year WASHINGTON (UPD-FBI Di rector J. Edgar Hoover reports the crime rate in the United States broke all previous records last year and jumped 6 per cent over 1961. Hoover said Thursday in his annual "uniform crime reports" that during the past five years the crime rate in this country went up 27 per cent while the population increased 7 per cent. He said that all types of major crimes except murder showed in creases during 1962. Murder dropped 2 per cent. "The record shows police ef fectiveness remains high despite mounting crime work loads and heavier demands for a wide vari ety of increasing complex police services," the FBI chief de clared. But he added that "law en forcement machinery is impaired and policing is hampered as a result of increasing restrictions being placed on enforcement op erations." "The effectiveness of (police work). . .depends to some extent on the action of the courts and the success of the correctional process," he said, "but most of all the degree to which the local citizenry supports law enforce ment. "Positive action to reduce crime," he said, "must begin with the individual citizen." Statistics in Hoover's report showed forcible rape was up 2 per cent nationally during 19G2; robbery up 4 per cent, aggra vated assault and burglary up 5 Reuher urges Congress to stop arguing WASHINGTON (UPI) - Walter P. Reuther, head of the United Auto Workers and vice president of the AFL-CIO, urged Congress to "stop arguing" over precedents in the Constitution and "start leg islating" President Kennedy's civil rights proposals. The labor leader said both the commerce clause and the 14th Amendment would cover Kenne dy's requests including his meas ure to end segregation in public businesses engaged in interstate commerce.

Post-conviction Jeannace appeal denied by judge SALEM (UPI) A post-conviction appeal by convicted murder ess Jeannace June Freeman was denied by Marion County Circuit Judge George A. Jones Thursday. Her attorneys, Philip A. Levin and Carl R. Neil, both of Port land, said they would appeal Jones' decision to the Oregon Su preme Court. Levin said that if the Oregon court held against them they will raise constitutional issues before either the U.S. District Court or the U.S. Supreme Court. Miss Freeman, 22, Culver, was convicted in Madras in 1961 of hurling Larry Jackson, 6, to his death in Crooked River Gorge. She was sentenced to die at the State Penitentiary here on Aug. 1, but Judge Jones granted a stay of execution July 10 to allow a hear ing under the post-conviction act. Another execution date probably will not be set until the end of what could be a lengthy series of appeals. Judge Jones, after more than an hour of legal arguments, dis missed the petition on the grounds that it failed to raise any issues appreciably different from those which could have been raised on Miss Freeman's original appeal from the death sentence. Levin and Neal said they would file an amended petition within the next 10 days to strengthen their contention that the condemn ed woman was not granted her constitutional rights prior to her indictment.
