Touching a wide va riety of subjects, both domes tic and foreign, the senator: Said Communist China may explode a nuclear bomb any day now. But he said Peking's "rickshaw" econo my could take 25 years to build a delivery system and fashion a nuclear strike force. Ruled himself out as a vice presidential candidate. Goldwater said it would bn "ruinous" to have a presiden tial candidate pushing liber al causes while he was at tacking them. Said $7 to $10 billion could be cut from President Kennedy's proposed budget without touching space or de fense efforts. But realistical ly, he said, the economies will not be made because the Sen ate will restore House cuts. Complained that admin istration defense planners are trying to substitute the Presi dent's civilian authority for necessary tactical and strate gic judgments of experienced military leaders. "That is the big mistake Hitler got into the Kaiser got into," the senator said. Reserve Air General Goldwatcr, a reserve Air Force major general, was al most engulfed in plane mod els he tries to get a model of each plane he flies as he sat at his desk and at tacked the methods and goals of Kennedy administration defense planning. The administration is con sidering defense strategy, he said, "talks about freedom for the President to select the weapons that can't be done." Goldwater said Pentagon planners are operating on the assumption that U.S. forces, in any brush-fire war, would have to abandon convention al arms In favor of a full nu clear exchange as soon as either side used nuclear arms. "I don't believe cither side wants to go into nuclear war but we don t leave our selves any room for negotia tion or pause," Goldwatcr said.. Some small nuclear weap ons are better for a given job than TNT weapons, ho said, and it Isn't necessarily true that their use would re sult automatically in all-out nuclear conflict. "At any lime you could pause and say: 'The next step may be an attack on one of your airfields with this kind of a weapon,' " he said. "I think we arc engaged in unilateral disarmament," Goldwatcr said. "If Russia has been kept at bay it has been because of the men of the Strategic Air Command." As their role is diminished by the substitution of missiles for planes he said, U.S. strength is downgraded as against Russia's. Ahead In Some Fields In some technical fields the that Red China and other countries will develop nuclear bombs compared with the risks inherent in a test agree ment? A - "I think Red China can set off a bomb anytime. Maybe she has already done it, but she has to be able to deliver it. If she is still run ning around in rickshaws, I rtnn't tltinlr aha fan HVflnn This alone might be cause deliverv vehiclcs for perhaps for our seeming willingness 25 years without Russia's help height and distinguishing be tween true and decoy war heads. If this is the case, he said, the Russians might be closer to having an anti ICBM missile than has been disclosed. to give away everything in order to reach a nuclear test ban agreement with Russia," he said. Q - What about the risk and I don't think she's going to get it. Even France would be hard pressed to develop delivery vehiclcs in 5 to 10 years." Q - You have complained about a lack of policy enun- ciation by the administration, what about Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara's state ment that the U. S. will not accept combat operations in the Western Hemisphere by Russian troops? A - "We could have justi fied anything we had to do in Cuba or in Laos if such a policy had been in effect. If there is one glaring weakness with this administration it is the inability ... or refusal to reach decisions . . . inde cision is our greatest prob lem. Look at Congress. Isn't it swamped down in commit tees and committees and com mittees?" Proposes Cuba Blockade Q - Against all this, what policy would you propose for Cuba? A - "I still think a block ade. We know enough about the shortages . . . food . . . oil . . . that if we put up a blockade and enforced it, I think we could do it without the danger of war, giving the Cuban people help in Sabo tage, weapons ... If need be actual military help, but I don't think we'd have to go that far. I asked Lemnitzer (Gen. Lyman L. Lemnitzer, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) and Taylor (Gen. Maxvell D. Taylor, the present chairman) if Russia would defend Cuba. The an swer was 'No, she wouldn't . . .' she couldn't " Q - How do you feel about the 1964 election? A - "If the country doesn't start moving economically, it will become obvious the peo ple don't want Kennedy. I thought a few months ago that Kennedy would be im possible to defeat. I don't think so now." Q - What about the Re publican nomination? A - "It's up for grabs and I don't think the country is confined to one or two or three possibilities. I think the House of Representatives of fers a good collection of can didates Republicans could unite behind." Q - How about your will ingness to be on the ticket with someone else? A - "I don't want to be vice president. It would be ruinous to have the presiden tial candidate speaking for aid to education . . . medicare . . . in one city and me speak ing against it in another I don't think it would attract votes."

Important Resource "We often repeat that our youth Is our most Important resource and yet 50 per cent of Californians over 21 years of age have never graduated from high school," Garrigus said. "This shows that we are failing to make adequate use o our youth and that our present system of education has serious flaws." Lagomarsino poinlcd out that young people who have dropped o of high school are faced with limited oppor tunities and employment pros pects for the remainder of their lives because of lack of training and skills. "Often they end up as part of the hard core of unem ployed, on the welfare rolls or involved in crime," he said. "Many of these young peo ple by aptitude or desire are not educablc in the usual aca demic sotting. "Many, however, with spe cial help can develop into the skilled and trained workers so desperately needed by our rapidly developing tech nology. Under the prupoi.al, coun ties would need a majority vole of their electorate to es tablish the vocational train ing institutions.
