United Presi International
Washington-IUPD - Conserva
tives are becoming impatient
for Sen. Barry Goldwater (R
Ariz.) to announce his candi
dacy for the
R e p u b lican
n o m i nation.
Before they
chivvy the
senator into
c o m m i t ing
himself, the
R e p u b lican
c onservatives
should consid
er their own
sorry political record since
World War I. Goldwater is
familiar with that record.
That is reason enough for
him to hestitate long before
committing himself to a pre
convention campaign for the
Republican presidential nom
ination. Republican conservatives
have not since 1924 nominated
their conservative candidate
for president. Their man in
1924 was Calvin Coolidge, al
ready president by succession
to Warren G. Harding who
died in office Aug. 22, 1923
Actively Opposed
Thereafter, the Republicans
nominated candidates actively
opposed by the conservative
party factions Herbert
Hoover, Alf M. Landon, Wen
dell L. Willkie, Thomas E.
Dewey, Dwight D. Eisenhow
er. Richard M. Nixon had
conservative support in 1960
but he lost much of it dur
ing (he Republican National
Convention and more of it
before the campaign ended.
Republican conservatives
have mighty liitle to offer
their hero, Goldwater, except
an opportunity to get his po
litical brains knocked out at
the 1964 Republican Nation
al Convention. Goldwater
anyone deserves a better
deal than that.
The argument against nom
inating for president a con
servative Republican or a con
servative Democrat is both
simple and effective. The ar
gument is that a conservative
cannot win the electoral votes
of the populous industrial
states whose politics is dom
inated by big cities such as
Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo,
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New
York, Boston, Los Angeles, St.
Louis.
Some of Big States
It is further argued that
it is impossible to elect a
presidential candidate without
some or all of the big states.
And there is another import
ant factor working against
conservatives in the national
political conventions. That is
the need of big city political
leaders to nominate for presi
dent candidates who will ap
peal strongly to the various
blocs of big city voters. With
outs this bloc support the big
city political leader would be
out of business. These blocs
include the labor vote insofar
as it is controlled or delivered
by labor bosses, the Negro and
other ethnic groups and so on.
U. S. senators and gover
nors with big cities within
their constituencies equally
must oppose nomination of a
conservative presidential can
didate. The senators, gover
nors and state political boss
es demand a presidential
candidate who can rally the
bloc voters, the balance-of-power
elements of American
politics.
Some conservative Repub
licans believe that they have
tne answer to this problem.
It is for the Republican party
to forget the liberal bloc vot
ers in the North, the Negro,
labor, ethnic bloc, and to go
after the conservative, white
Southern voters. Some Gold
water enthusiasts believe
their man could be elected
without elcctorial voles from
New York, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, New England,
Michigan, Missouri, Washing
ton, Oregon and California.
These conservatives may be
wrong but they are political
realists. If they have no fu
ture in the North, they must
look elsewhere.
In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
It was announced the other
day that Red China's Mao has
invited Red Russia's Mr.
Kroosh to COME TO PEKING
to discuss the differences that
exist between the two big
units of the communist world.
Question:
Will he go?
And if not, why not?
IT'S an interesting question.
Dispatches tell us that
Washington authorities who
have followed the conflict
through hundreds of thou
sands of words since it came
into the open about three
years ago find it hard to be
lieve thai Khrushchev can ac
cept Mao's invitation to come
to the Red Chinese capital at
any time in the near future
without risking a serious loss
of face.
OUR Washington people
think that if the Red Chi
nese had given any indication
that the way was open to a
settlement and that they were
prepared to accept Soviet lead
ership of the whole Commu
nist bloc Khrushchev could
go to Peking to score a tri
umph. But
If he goes on MAO'S
TERMS, his- action will be
construed as a sign of weak
ness on his part, and evidence
that Russia needs the Chinese
Meeting Set by
Hereford Group
Dr. Frank G. Bennet, Chico,
president of the California
Hereford association, will
speak on what the California
Hereford association is doing
to progress when he talks to
the Cal-Ore Hereford associa
tion at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday,
March 21, at North's Chuck
Wagon.
The California association
has held a number of sales
to promote the breed. He also
will speak on dual grading.
The debate on creep feed
ing calves held at the recent
winter Hereford ranch tour
will be continued.
worse than the Chinese need
Russia.
That would be bad for
Kroosh.
WHAT will come of it?
For an answer, let's go
back into history which is
immensely valuable because
of the demonstrated fact that
what has happened once may
happen again.
WHEN Mahomet introduced
Mohammedanism to t h e
Arabs, they were cautious
about accepting it and asked
for proof of his miraculous
powers. Mahomet then order
ed Mount Safa to come to him.
When the mountain did not
move, Mahomet said:
"Allah is merciful. Had the
mountain obeyed my words,
it would have fallen on us to
our destruction. I will there
fore GO TO THE MOUNTAIN
and thank Allah that he has
had mercy on a stiff-necked
generation."
OLD Mao has invited Mr.
Kroosh to come to Pe
king. If Mr. Kroosh refuses to
come, Old Mao may shrug his
shoulders and say with Ma
homet: "If Kroosh won't come
to Mao, Mao will come to
Kroosh."
We'll see what we'll see.

How do we thank such a man as this?
The railroad hat is deceptive. Bill Schupbach is a
lifetime Standard Oiler, retired. His grandfather,
father and uncle were Standard Oilers before him.
Before retiring, Bill was a refinery foreman. His
company retirement plan gives him security, and
time fo'r model railroading, but his big enthusiasm is
still Standard Oil Company.
and is still one of the "Boys" at the refinery. He
knows that he belongs.
It isn't the spoken thanks that do it; but your
lasting interest in a man, your counting him as a
person and not a statistic, these are the things that
liven his spirit.
We have thousands of such fine men and women on
our retirement payroll. If you know some of them,
you know that they, too, are ardent
Standard Oilers.
Bill keeps close to us, and we to him. He is invited
to our picnics and parties, receives our publications,
