V-J-ASSOCIATION
SEPTEMBER 1, 1963
The Goldwater Campaign
The two-month, nation-wide talking tour Sen.
Barry Goldwater (R.-Ariz.) is engaged in can
hardly be viewed as other than a Presidential
nomination-seeking campaign. Inasmuch as part
of the American political mystique is that it's un
wise to admit candidacy too early, Goldwater is
making no announcements.
One day (Sept. 2) he says he will decide by
January. Another (Sept. 10) he says he'll give a
yes or no "sometime when the primaries start in
the spring." But nobody close to the charismatic
Arizona senator has any doubt that he wants to
be President or that he is anything but an unan
nounced candidate for the G.O.P. nomination.
For openers, he has reserved the whole 15th
floor of the Mark Hopkins Hotel in San Fran
cisco 51 rooms, including the Presidential suite
for before and during the 1964 Republican
convention. And he does not bobble, blush, or
demurely demur if you
he d do if he were President.
GOLDWATER lists as an exclusive asset his
seven years traveling the country as chair
man of the Republican Senatorial Campaign
committee. His million miles and thousands of
speeches have given him a wide acquaintance.
The senator is in the process of adding to
that asset in criss-crossing the nation to make
speeches. His journeys will take him into Ohio,
Illinois, Oklahoma, California, New Jersey, New
York, then back to California, Pennsylvania,
Oregon, Texas, Massachusetts, and then back to
New York.
It is altogether characteristic of Goldwater
that he should have accepted the invitation or po
tential favorite sons Gov. James A. Rhodes of
Ohio and Gov. William
vania, for example to
events. As he himself
raised considerable sums for "men like Senators
Javits, Case, Kuchel, and Cooper," and has
sought money in New York City for Governor
Rockefeller.
WHETHER he hopes to cloak himself in the
Mr. Republican mantle of the late Sen.
Taft, or whether it is merely a reflection of his
conservative mindset, there can be little doubt of
the sincerity of Goldwater's party regularity. He
already has pledged support, to any Republican
Presidential nominee in 1964 as better for the
country than "any New Frontiersman."
"We Republicans ought not to be harassing
each other," he says. "We have a common polit
ical enemy, the Democrats, Let's fight them in
stead of each other." These sentiments will be put
to a test during the cross-country tour when he
speaks at a Western Republican conference in
Eugene, Ore., on Oct. 10. Governor Rockefeller
Of New York, who has charged that the "radical
fight" was trying to capture Goldwater, will ad
dress the same group on the same day.
Goldwater s tour is
shocks. As a remarkable interview soon to be
published by Congressional Quarterly will dis
close the Arizona senator is not nearly so right
as either his most moonstruck supporters or his
most adamant critics would have him. From the
use of-federal troops in domestic situations to
water fluoridation, his attitudes may surprise
and even confound both his followers and his
foes. E.R.R.
Footballs Color Line
Another break in college football's color line
is coming up this fall this time in the Atlantic
Coast conference. Darryl Hill, a Negro, is due to
start at wingback for the University of Maryland,
Saturday, Sept. 21, in a home game with North
Carolina State.
No trouble is anticipated then or a week Inter
when Maryland travels to Columbia, S.C., for a
conference game with the University of South
Carolina. Maryland coach Tom Nugent served
notice some months ago that "Any team that
plays us plays the best men we have." Hill will be
the first Negro to compete in a major sport in the
Atlantic Coast Conference.
The breakthrough in the Atlantic Coast Con
ference leaves in the all-white-player category
only the Southeastern Conference, comprising 12
institutions in seven Southern states, and the
Southwest Conference, comprising seven Texas
schools plus the University of Arkansas. Neither
oi mese conferences nas a written rule barring
Negroes from their football teams, but on this
there is a "gentlemen's agreement."
CVEN in the Southeastern Conference, where
resistance is high because of official atti
tudes in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana,
change is inevitable. Southeastern Conference
Commissioner Bernic Moore is quoted as predict
ing that Negroes will be playing in the confer
ence in four years. Kentucky and Tennessee are
expected to be the first.
Comptition with integrated teams is permit
ted for all except a handful of the all-white
teams. Georgia Tech's Board of Regents this
year approved competition with integrated
teams, even in Atlanta, and Tulanc has the same
policy. College athletes in the South seem to be
ahead of the public in the
regation in snorts.
It is recalled that even Mississippi State al
lowed its basketball squad to compete in the
racially-mixed N.C.A.A. basketball champion
ships up North. To balk show-cause orders seek
ing; to restrain them, the Mississippi State coach
sent a stand-in team to the airport to accent sub-
peneas while he spirited

Good Night
To the Editor: The American
police-stale is now under way,
having been launched in the
South against desperate gov
ernors and individuals determ
ined to maintain racial purity
and honor. The "Ncgro-fi-cB-lion"
of the nation is bv now
of course far along, having be
gun at first by Hie acceptance I
of the Negro culture influence j
jazz, ragtime, Ihe Charleston,
Ihe Twist, etc.. and Hie fillhv
noveJ-lhings which while moil j
at first resisled, but succumbed : i "'is scnooi. ouu, u is cum
in anrl which t remember were ! Plllsoiy to buy One, and it is
forbidden us by our parents as
immoral. Now Ihe Negro
morals are accepted, the hlood
is acceptable. Your off-bear of
several generations will be ofl
color and degenerate.
The "hill-of-riuhls," heller
called Ihe "bill-of-licrn.se" (The
"Ten Commandments" of Ihe
Jews was the law of the land),
is used by this Catholic presi
dent and decadent government,
to bring to pass this racial
merger, which they cannot or
will not recognize as such. By
forceably breakm? the- taboo
against interracial fraterniza
tion and equality of blacks a:id
whites, this President will ac
complish what, a Catholic re
gime long ago accomplished in
Mexico and in all other coun
tries it dominated, with ohvinu.-.
result: The destruction of the.
white race. The end of the
white man in America is not f-ir
off.
The evil influence of Negro
carnality is only equalled hy the
worst quality of Jcwcry, that is,
selfish materialistic cunning
The god here worshipped - ir
respective of prclcnsioni is a
trinity: hedonism, cpicuriani.-.m,
and sophistry that is to .say,
love of pleasure and profit. It i
disquieting to feci oneself he:ng
influenced to the cause of the
Nazis.
But what can a less than
minor citizen do, even in pro
test against atom bombs? If a
Catholic president can n.-e fed
eral Negro troops and dictator
ial powers against protesting
Southern whites, he can use
force against protesting Protest
ants, Jews, and other "heret
ics," political and religious, and
usher in a new "inquisition "
The end is clearly visible, ami
is soon to come.
Since this is no longer to K-
a "while man's a in,"
whose people no longer have
pride in their race, this white
man no longer wishes to live

Inventors
To the Editor: How do in
vestors fare under the "free en
terprise" system? In the first
place, few inventions can be
turned to financial profit wilh
little capital. Generally the capi
tal needed is large. Very often
it is gigantic. The inventor wno
owns the requisite capital to ex
periment, perfect, and finally
turn out the product of his geni
us, does not exist; ai icasi, no.

These college kids who went

we can't go to Cuba because
Cuba isn t a free country like us.
And he says if we go to Cuba

Now it used to be that Red

wasn't good for us to go to. But

And then Albania. And now

stand this. But has our State
Department, I ask, thought
things through? Don't be silly.
Take, for example, South
Vietnam. Americans go over
there and get the idea we'ra
giving $1.5 million a day to fur
ther a corrupt dictators ship.
They come home and say so.
Does this help further our for
eign policy objectives? Of
course not. South Vietnam
should certainly be added to tha
list.
And Latin America. Here we
are trying to promote a Good
Neighbor policy. And here are
all of us Americans going down
there getting drunk, spat on or
expropriated. No sir. The only
way to promote a Good Neigh,
bor policy is never to drop in on
your neighbors at all. So there's
another score of countries that
are bad for us to go to.
As for Africa, you know how
louchy things are there. And lo
let a lot of us fool Americans
wander around these new na
tions shooting off our mouths . .
"What about Europe?" you
say. I agree. Not onlv do wo
American tourists add to our
gold drain, but our morality's
involved. Is it really good for
us Americans to visit a country
like England? Where Cabinet
members chase scantily clad
girls around swimming pools?
And if the State Department's
going to let us go to France, it
should al least stamp our pass,
ports: "For Adults Only."
But the country that worries
me most is East Germany. Do
you realize our Stale Depart
ment still lets us Americans
travel in East Germany? Which
is such an awful dictatorship
thai it's even got a high wall
around it? To keep its oppressed
citizens from traveling where
they want to? Why, this wall
which keeps East Germans
from traveling where they want
has become the very symbol
of Ihe fact that East Germany
isn't a free country! Like us.
So I say our State Depart
ment should get on its toes . . .
under the slogan: "Today Cuba,
Tomorrow the World!" And we
can stop all this fuss about pass
ports. Because we Americans
won't need them.
Meanwhile, I suggest these
angry students just remember
Ihis is a free country. Where
one of our rights has always
been to travel where we please.
But to keep this a free country
with the right to travel where
we please, we naturally have to
give up certain rights. Like
traveling where we please.
And it behooves all of us in
these times of help Our Leaders
preserve our precious freedoms.
By giving them up. One by one.
Or, as my friend Miss Amanda
puts it: "Anybody who says this
isn't a free country should be
clapped in jail!"
