OREGON Arizona Republican Shows Deviations Suggesting Shift to Political Center WASHINGTON (CO) - The .. popular image of Arizona's Sen. Barry Goldwater- (R), now a leading candidate for his party's presidential nomination, is one , ofNstaunch and uncompromising ; conservatism. : A comprehensive review of ! Goldwater's record in public 1 life his on - the record ; stands, his votes and the bills 'he has introduced since he en ', tered the Senate in 1953 show ; that the popular image and the ' actual record are largely in ac : cord. But some interesting devia ' tions trom the straight conserva- live line have appeared in recent ; Goldwater spcaches and news : conferencees, suggesting a Gold water shift toward the vote- heavy center in U. S. politics. '. Goldwater stands, past and .' present, on key domestic issues, ; are reviewed below. ', Labor ; A large portidh of Goldwater's ' national reputation is based on ' his articulate, consistant opposi 'lion to "big labor." Goldwater ' favors a ban on union spending in politics, mandatory secret union votes before strikes can : be called, limitations on indus- ; try wide bargaining by any one union, and the controversial : "rieht-to-work" laws that bar compulsory unionism. : In the early 1850s Goldwater ' proposed a bill giving states the ; right to control all strikes, pick- eting and secondary boycotts. This inspired labor publications : to charge him with "tyranny" ; and "neo-fascism." In 1955 Gold- water said organized labor was .preparing for "massive use of . political slush funds on a nation , wide scale" to influence the 1956 ' elections. In 1958 he said that 'United Auto Workers president ; Walter Reuther was ,"a more 'dangerous menace than the -Sputniks." i : A member of the McClellan "Rackets" Committee and also ranking Republican on the Sen ate Labor and Public Welfare : Committee, , Goldwater fought hard for labor reform legislation in the late 1950s. . Decrying "the enormous eco nomic and political power now .concentrated in the hands of .union leaders," Goldwater said I V.' n EASY ELEGANCE - Designed for easy elegance Is this soft leather handbag with brass Irimmed oval opening for carry ing convenience. in 1960: "The time has come, not to abolish unions or deprive them of deserved gains, but to redress the balance to restore unions to their proper role in a free society. As a key step to "redress" of imbalance, Goldwater in 1960 suggested application of anti trust laws to unions. But his 1963 labor bill contained no such pro vision and he told Congressional Quarterly in an Aug. 28 inter view: "I don't think it will work, frankly. I can understand the reasoning of those who push it, but I think the laws are far too cumbersome. We're dealing with peoples jobs, not corporate bodies." In 1958 Goldwater introduced a Senate bill outlawing all union shops in the U. S. a manda tory national "right - to - work" law. In a June 10, 1963 Senate floor speech he again defended the principle of "right-to-work." But his 1963 labor bill provided that union shops could be legal ized by specific state action. In his June 10 speach he said he would "never vole for a so-called national right to work law." Goldwater is an implacable foe of high Government spending and taxation. He considers the 16th Amendment to the Constitu tion, which legalized the income tax, "a very poor amendment." "Government has a right to claim an equal percentage of each man's wealth, and no more, Goldwater wrote in 1960. A graduated income tax, he said, "is repugnant to my notions of justice. I do not be lieve in punishing success." In his recent CO interview, Goldwater said he no longer saw any alternative to the income tax in view of the size Of the current federal budget. He said he opposed reducing the pro gressive feature and nothing else. "What I would propose," Gold- water said, "is a complete study of the whole tax problem by a compact group of academic counselors, businessmen, labor people and legislators who could devote all the time needed to it. When the package is ready, then sell it to Congress . , . and throw the old one out. Now, in cluded in that new package would be an elimination of dras tic cutting of the progressive features, where they become punitive." In the Senate, Goldwater has voted for virtually every tax re duction proposed. But he now opposes President Kennedy's tax cut program unless the federal budget is also reduced. Goldwater has lined up with other Southwesterners in Con gress to vote against any de crease in oil and gas depletion allowances. In 1962, when a pro posal was made on the Senate floor to reduce the top income tax bracket from 87 to 60 per cent and simultaneously reduce oil depletion allowances from 27.5 to 20 per cent, Goldwater lined up against it. Social Security Suspicion of 'the "welfare state" marks Goldwater's stand on the Social Security syst n. Public rumors to the contrary, he has never advocated com plete repeal of Social Security, But he has urged that participa tion in the system be made vol untarv and has opposed expan sion of the program. He warns that already-scheduled increases in the Social Security tax win push it up to 9 or 10 per cent and result in a taxpayers' "revolt" by late in this decade. Goldwater is a strong oppon ent of President Kennedy's pro posed "medicare" plan of med ical care for the aged financed through additional Social Secur ity taxes. He says most Ameri cans would prefer to use Social Security tax dollars for the pur chase of private health plans. In 1960 Goldwater was one of two Senators to vote against the Kerr-Mills bill for matching fed eral grants to the states to cover medical expenses for the indi gent elderly. But now he cites this law as "much better" than the Kennedy "medicare" plan and criticizes the administra tion for alleged sabotaging of Kerr-Mills. Agriculture Goldwater is convinced that the present federal farm pro gram is unconstitutional ana that agriculture should be re turned to the economic laws of 'suddIv and demand. He has been an almost constant foe of Government subsidies and price supports. He was a strong sup porter of Eisenhower Agricul ture Secretary Ezra iau Benson and his policies. Goldwater feels that "tanners want to free themselves from government guarantees and re strictions" and tnat tne time nas come "to dissolve me nurai Electrification Administration." Philosophy of Government In the Senate Goldwater nas been a strong foe of large fed eral programs in fields sucn as agriculture, housing, uman re newal, depressed areas, foreign aid, education, public power and urban affairs. In his 1960 book. Conscience of a Conservative, Goldwater said there ought to be a U. S. Presi dential candidate who would de clare: "I have little Interest in streamlining government or making it more efficient, for I would reduce its size.

SUNDERLAND ROME (UPI)-Charlie Brown may have good reason to look bewildered and exclaim "Good grief!" He, his friends and the dog Snoopy who are in the Charles M. achulz comic strip of "Pea nuts" are either Fascists, have suicide complexes or are simply stupid, according to an Italian Communist party newspaper. The first book of "Peanuts has just been published in Italy. And since the Communist party apparently has orders not to discuss the Russian - Chinese rift, it decided to throw its weight on other grave matters like "Peanuts." Titled "The Hysterical Friends of Charlie Brown," an article in the newspaper Unita said the comic strip is the product of a "society which re volves around the searching for individual success." Non-Grownups 'The non-grownups of Char les M. Schulz are eight: Lucy, Linus, Schroeder, Patty, Vio let, Pig Pen, the dog Snoopy and finally Charlie Brow n," the newspaper said. All of the strips revolve around the personage of Char lie, the only one fairly nor mal .... "Lucy is before all the most hysterical. She is a hateful girl, a non-grownup and full of com plexes, above all that of supe riority. She is ignorant, but judges all and everybody, speak ing continually of others. "She believes she is the belly button of the world, and there fore better than the others, thus able to resolve all problems. When one has turned the last page, you hate her. She is a Fascist. Patty, however, like Violet, is simply stupid. "Linus and Schroeder, the two 'cases' more patent of the nervous group, have not elabo rated their traumas, in which they are in up to their necks, and live in perpetual panic or in sublimation. "Linus has a suicide complex. He saves himself by carrying a blanket which substitutes for the motherly breasts. . . Taken by Music "Schroeder is taken by music, playing Bach, and getting mad when Lucy asks him what he will win if he is able to learn all the Beethoven sonatas. "Pig Pen is a happy being, but only when he has covered i great himself with mud. If a bath takes off the dirt, he becomes agitated. "For a psychic study,' there is the dog Snoopy, which fre quents their company. He also is hysterical. He varies between his own life as a doe and as pirations to become another beast or man.- The depersonal ization and the anguish carries him to imitate others. "Thus, time by time, he im itates a rhinoceros or a lion or a kangaroo, or even Lucy or Patty. At the end he stretches out, taken with repentant sen timent and frustration. "And Charlie Brown? He is the only one who is, precarious ly, at the middle road between mental health and nervousness. Apprehension "Faced with the strangeness of his friends, he remains over whelmed or exclaims his alarm ed 'Good grief' . . . full of a ma jor apprehension for the well being of humanity. . . . "In these funnies ... it is not difficult to find a certain alien ated America, always 12 years old, which does not know itself and does not realize it is tne heir of a great history and a that America not discovered culture: which yet has America." What obviously had escaped Unita's attention was that an other left wing Rome newspa. perp Paese Sera, has been run ning "Peanuts" for the last cou pie of years. Spoof Record Book Gains in Popularity CINCINNATI, Ohio (UPI) Sales of a sedate little booklet entitled "Handling Expense Ac counts" by one Dudley V. Car rington are reported 'by its publishers, Osborne - Kemper Thomas, Inc., to be nearing 150,000 copies. Claiming to contain "sugges tions, tips and predictions" on business entertainment, the booklet actually is a spoof of the record-keeping required un der the new Internal Revenue Service tax rulings. The book let, written by Robert C. Kap-. pes and illustrated by artist Paul Daegar, was offered as a gag device for sales meetings, boards of directors and similar business groups.
