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

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. I do not

But in a September 1963 inter
view, Goldwater said:
"You're not going to reverse

tralized government) immedi
ately. If you did, it would be
rather disastrous. . . What can
we do then? We can stop sug

Communists in Italy Blast 'Peanut' Comics
By
WILLIAM F. 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.
