The two front-runners Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York and Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz. missed a face-to-face confrontation at a weekend western republican conference by 45 minutes. But, for the first lime since their unofficial campaigns were launched, they spoke lo com paratively similar audiences on the same day in the same place. Rockefeller picked the confer ence to challenge Goldwater to a series of debates on the "vital issues" of next year's political campaign. Proposal Rejected Goldwater, after first appear ing to grant a provisional ac ceptance, then rejected Rocke feller's proposal outright. But both agreed on this: Former Vice President Richard Men Lodged in Jail During Week End Medford city police arrested i Irvin Lee Moore, 37. of 704 North i Fifth St., Jacksonville, early to day on a charge of driving I while under the influence of in toxicating liquor. Moore was lodged in Jackson 'county jail. He was taken into I custody about 12:10 a.m. at Ta ble Rock rd. and Adams st. Johi.

Nixon, who lost in a bid for the presidency by 119.000 votes in 1960, is trying to get a second chance against President Ken nedy. Republicans from 13 western states, including Alaska and Hawaii, attended the three day conference, starting Friday and ending Sunday. There appeared to be no gen eral concensus on who won Ihe popularity contest. Rockefeller addressed 7,500 listeners ai one public session a noon appear ance at the 10,000 capacity Mc Arthur court. Goldwater, who spoke in the same place s i x hours later, had an audience estimated at 8,5001,000 more but the hour was to his advant age He spoke informally with another group later at the Lane County fairgrounds. Both sides claimed victory. Hatfield comments But Oregon Gov Mark Hat field, often mentioned as a vice presidential possibility, said Rockefeller "regained sone of his lost ground." He said Goldwater "remained strong in Oregon with avid fol lowers." "There was no dark horse talk," he added. "The Nixon references evoked no response but he remained a distinct dead lock possibility. It apoars to me this was the dress rehear sal." In a 45-minute session with only a handful of delegates be fore adjourning the conference Sunday the Republicans adopted a series of resolutions attacking the Kennedy administration's domestic and foreign policies. They included a compromise civil rights resolution condemn ing "exploitation of individual human dignity for political pur poses" an apparent reference to Kennedy's civil rights pro gram. Tax cut eyed Another resolution urged Con gress to pass a federal income tax reduction combined with a limit on federal expenditures. A third resolution called for action by the state to provide equal educational opportunities. If they do not, the resolution said, they face "the inevitable pressure for federal aid." The conference lashed out at Kennedy's policies in Latin America and accused the a d ministration of mishandling for eign affairs in Cuba and South Vict Nam. J.

Although Osvaldo Martinelli. deputy mayor of the vacated village of Erto, had warned over an amplifying system that another slide was coming, other authorities at Belluno said there was no danger. Could See Movements A UPI reporter who flew over the area in a U.S. Army helicopter said he could see a constant movement of rocks down the side of the mountain but that it was impossible to tell from the air whether there was any large-scale landslide under way. The warning early today was that another slide was moving down Mount Toe at the rate of a foot an hour and that if it Rockefeller Deplores Refusal To Debate Issues ALBANY, N. Y. (UPI)-Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller Sunday night deplored the refusal of Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., to debate him over television on the issues confronting t h e Republican party. "In terms of Republican re sponsibility and the Republican party's opportunity to win the 1964 election, I think the sen ator's decision is a mistake," Rockefeller said in a statement. The exchange between the two prime contenders for the 1964 Republican presidential nomi nation came Saturday. Rocke feller, in Eugene, Ore., for the Western Republican Conference, challenged the Arizonan to de bate him and help the Republi can party "arrive at a consensus on vital current issues." Nothing To Gain "There is absolutely nothing to be gained by Republican de bating Republican," Goldwater said. "We should be fighting the New Frontier. Such debates would tend to add to what little division there is in the Repub lican party." "I do not understand the logic of the claim that such dis cussion and debate would under mine the unity of the Republi can party," Rockefeller said. Two Oregonians Die in Traffic By United Press International Traffic accidents claimed the lives of two Oregon residents Saturday. Robert A. Grossnickle, 19, Oregon City, was killed and a companion critically injured when their motorbike collided with a truck near Provo, Utah. Injured was James L. Ricks, 19, Falls Church, Va.

Bengtson has been paroled from Oregon state penitentiary after serving about 17 months on two convictions of larceny by embezzlement.

Later, other thorities denied that a au new slide had started. An estimated 2.500 persons died in last week's disaster. Originally, officials had be lieved the death toll might run as high as 4,000, but it turned out that many of the listed in habitants in the villages were in other countries as migrant workers at the time. Cut In Two When the original landslide, estimated at half a billion cubic meters, hit on Wednes day, it virtually cut the reser voir in two. Some of the water still is backed up behind the dam, but another lake has been formed behind the natural dam of the landslide. The lakes are at two different levels. If a new landslide came down, it would hit the second and higher lake. Its waters could be pushed backwards and could hit the towns of Cas so and Erto, already partly destroyed by the tidal wave backlash of the original slide. Red China May Face Expulsion At Moscow Parley MOSCOW (UPI)-World Com munist leaders will meet here next month to begin talks which may lead to Peking's explusion from the Moscow-led Comunist camp, informed sources said Sunday. The world's major Communist parties with the probable ex ception of Communist China and its allies are sending high level delegation here between Nov. 7 and 15 for the 46th an niversary of the Russian revo lution. The sources said the parties would make one more effort to bring about another Soviet Chinese meeting to try and re solve the dispute. Such a meet ing, however, is likely to be as unsuccessful as last summer's ideological talks here. Soviets Have Support If this last attempt breaks down, the sources said, a call will be issued for a final meet ing of the world's 86 Com munist parties to take up the question of China's explusion. Western observers calculate that the Soviets have the sup port of a least 72 of these par tics. But explusion of Peking would be bound to create a rival international, headed by China and containing its sup porters including at least North Korea, North Viet Nam, Albania, and the Japanese Com munist party.
