Barry Sidesteps Chance
To Return Rocky's Fire
PITTSBURGH (UPI) - U.S.
Sen. Barry Goldwater, It-Ariz.,
apparently is not ready to en
gage in a political shooting
match with New York Gov. Nel
son Rockefeller, a declared
seeker of the GOP presidential
nomination.
Goldwater was given ample
opportunity during a press con
ference here Friday night to re
turn the fire leveled against
him by (Rockefeller in a public
statement Thursday.
But Goldwater, here to ad
dress the Harvard Business
School of Pittsburgh, chose to
stay on the defensive by merely
saying that the governor simply
fails to understand Goldwater's
approach.
Goldwater said that 90 per
cent of Rockefeller's charges
were erroneous. ,
Declaring that he does not
know "what Rockefeller had in
mind," whon the governor said
Goldwater has no program, the
senator said: "I don't know
what Rockefeller's platform Is,
but mine's been tossed around
from pillar to post."

In his speech to 700 members
of the Harvard businessmen's
group, Goldwater described the
present federal tax system as a
"ball and chain on our feet."
He said President Kennedy's
tax program would do little
to improve it.
Goldwalor accused the ad
ministration of depending on
depression year solutions and
failing to admit "that a new
day needs new enterprise" so
Uie economy can grow fast
enough to meet the demands of
jobs.
Goldwater, mentioning the ad

the sleel industry's price hike
last year, said "no area of gov

its policies upon unwilling per

Rockefeller Claims
Barry 'Out Of Tune'
ST. LOUIS, Mo. UPI -New
York Gov, Nelson A. Rockefel
ler, campaigning for the Repub
lican "presidential nomination,
said today that Sen. Barry Gold
water, R-Ariz., will not be the
19B4 GOP standard bearer un
less he "modifies his positions."
Rockefeller said Goldwater
was "not in tune with the mnin
stream of Republican thinking."
The New York governor said,
"unless Goldwater makes some
radical change he won't hold Hie
support ho has now."
However, Rockefeller pledged,
"I will support whoever wins
the nomination." '
Rockefeller the only an
nounced candidate for the Re
publican president nomination,
challenged the Arizona senator
to modify his stands on foreign
and domestic affairs.
Rockefeller said in the past

bling in Las Vegas is controlled
by organized crime syndicates.
It has quotes saying that
Goldwater was a friend for
many years of Gus Grecnbaum,
manager of the Riviera Casino,
and Willie Biolf, a convicted ex
tortionist. Both maintained
homes at Phoenix. Ariz., Gold
water's home town.
Goldwater told a news confer
ence here the book's allegations
"wouldn't have any effect on a
presidential campaign" if lie
decides to seek the Republican
nomination. "It's trash and the
American people won't want to
have anything to do with it. In
(act, it might even be libelous.
We're looking into that."
Goldwtcr said he had never
been a "personal friend" of
Bioff. but that he had known
him under the name of "Al Nel
son" and that "Nelson" had
contributed to his campaign
fund years ago. He said that
much later Bioff introduced
himself to Goldwater under his
real name.
Goldwater said he had known
Greenbaum when Grecnbaum
ran a grocery in Phoenix be
fore moving to Las Vegas.
Tlie Las Vegas Review
Journal quoted the book as say
ing: "In 1955 Biolf found an even
more unlikely friend: The jun
ior senator from Arizona, Barry
Goldwater. The two men were
often seen together and Gold
water . . . personally ehauf
feured Biff in his private
plane all over the southwest to
attend various parties.
"When questioned by report
ers, Goldwater became indig
nant, protesting that he had no
idea that his friend, one Wil
liam Nelson, was the notorious
Willie Bioff.
Goldwater has urged "with
drawing from the United Na
tions, sale of the Tennessee Val
ley Authority tTVA)" and indi
cated both ideas arc contrary to
the mainstream of American
thought.
Rockefeller said, "Goldwater
has been in opposition to Presi
dent Eisenhower and the major
ity of the GOP .senators on ci
vil rights legislation."
The governor said, "Goldwa
ter in ltXi.1 volcd against cloture
to limit filibuster" against the
civil rights bill.
In answer In a question of
whether he would name a Ne
gro to his cabinet if elected
President, Rockefeller said he
would be "receptive" to the. ap
pointment of "qualified citizens"
to any post.
Rockefeller arrived by plane
this morning for a weekend of
campaigning for Missouri sup
port for his presidential bid.
The Governor was w hisked by
molurcadc to the St. Louis Press
Club for a news conference.
His schedule included an ad
dress tonight at a news media
banquet. His .St. Louis visit will
lie rounded Sunday wilh an ap
pearance on CBS TV's "face

Peace Corps
WASHINGTON LTI - The
Peace Corps is approaching Hie
sanctity of the FBI and motlter
hood at least in the cses of a
majority of the House of Itcp
re.sentalivcs. The House voted last week to
autliorize every penny of the
$l(t! million President Kennedy
wants to expand the volunteer
organization's activities in
Latin America and Africa. The
authorization was almost twice
as much as the Peace Corps
spent last year.
The lawmakers beat back
three separate attempts to cut
the authorization. In a session
of Congress where the economy
bloc is flexing its muscles w ith
now vigor that's quite an ac
complishment. The only other government
agency which has won every
cent it wanted authorized is the
KBI. headed by J. Kdfar

Holds Key To Foreign Aid

authorization bill.
The Senate finally approved
its $3.7 billion version of the bill
63 to 17 Friday after almost
three weeks of the sharpest at
tacks in the program's IB-year
history. The wrangling left the

Voting for the bill were 43
Dcmocrals and 20 Republicans.
Opposed wore 10 Democrats and
7 Republicans. All , opposition
Democrats were from the South
except Sens. Alan Bible, D-Ncv.,
and Wayne Morse, D-Ore. The
Republican opponents included

GOP presidential possibility
Barry M. Goldwater, Ariz.
The $3.5 billion House version
of the same bill carried its own
set of policy provisions, many of
which overlapped those imposed
by the Senate during the meas
ure's rocky voyage.
After disposing of the author
ization bill, Congress must then
tackle the appropriations meas

which is expected to follow suit

The Peace Corps, though, has
a strange effect on even the
most implacable opponents of
foreign aid. Rep. Robert V.
Hemphill, D-S.C. told the
House he never has voted for
foreign aid but he is a staunch
supporter of the Peace Corps.
Hemphill said it put Ameri
cans and people in other lands
"heart to heart."

Jury Learns Of Difficulty
In 'Shopping' For Murderer
MINNEAPOLIS dPI' - The
moral might be: do your shop
ping early. Here was a man
sent "out shopping for a killer"
in the Twin Cities area, accord
ing to the state's charge.
He must have dawdled. Or
maybe his price was not right.
Or the supply short.
Because he still was shopping
in Minneapolis just a few days
before the job w as scheduled to
be done. And he didn't pick up
one of the murder weapons un
til the day before the schedule
called for murder.
That was the testimony in
Hennepin County District Court
by a dark and articulate 34-year-old
former convict named
Sheldon Stanley Morris, a fig
ure long awaited as a top state
witness in the "murder for
hire" trial of T. Eugene Thomp
son. Morris w ill be tried separate
ly as an accessory in the mur
der of Carol Thompson, the St.
Paul housewife whose husband
had loaded her with $1,055,000
in life insurance in 1 1 months.
The state charges Thompson,
35, a criminal lawyer and
church elder, with mastermind
ing a plot to kill his wife.
The shopper, the state al
leges, was Norman J. Mastrian,
a police character and former
boxer, 'who had been a client
of Thompson's.
Relaxed and almost suave on
the witness stand, Morris told
a tale of devious seeking by
Mastrian, with himself as
chauffeur. A former tavern
keeper, he had been living with
the Mastrians, he said, and he
had seen Thompson in Mas
trian's company several times.
Carol Thompson was mur
dered on March 6. The state
claims it had been planned lot
March 5, but didn't come off
could it be the man was still
shopping?
Morris testified late Friday
and will return to the stand
Monday. The last week in Feb
ruary, he said, he and Mastri
an picked up one Richard L.
Sharp, 38, a longtime police
character, in Morris' car. They
were driving along and sudden
ly: "Mr. Mastrian asked Mr.
Sharp if he was willing to com
mit a murder for $2,000. Mr.
Sharp did not reply. He was
just as stunned as I was. Then
he said he was not interested."
"What did he then say?"
Prosecutor William B. Randall
asked.
"He told Mr. Mastrian he
possibly knew someone who
might be interested. Mr. Mas
Irian said, who? Mr. Sharp
said. 'I know a fellow by' the
name of Bill Ingram. . .' "
Willard (Bill) Ingram, a
known burglar, has admitted
that he and Henry lHanki But
ler pulled a burglary that net
ted tliem a 7.65 millimeter Ger
man Luger, which he said they
passed to Mastrian and Sharp.
So later in the day: "Mr.
Sharp went in and got Mr. In
gram and they both got in my
auto. Mr. Mastrian asked Mr.
Ingram jf he was interested in

2200
committing a murder-1 believe
the expression used was "a hit'
for $2. Mr. Ingram asked
who and where. Mr. Mastrian
said, 'it's out of the city (they
were in Minneapolis! and it's a
woman.'
"Mr. Ingram said, 'it's not
enough money, and it isn't my
line of work, and I'm not inter
ested.' "
Comes March 4, the day be
fore the original "hit" sched
ule: "Mr. Mastrian and I were
in my car; Mr. Butler and Mr.
Sharp got in. Mr. Mastrian
asked Mr. Sharp if he'd

Explosion
Rips Hole
In Street
TUSCALOOSA. Ala. (L'Pl'-A
pre-dawn explosion heard
throughout the city Saturday
ripped a hole in the pavement
of a street 100 yards from Negro
Vivian Malone's dormitory at
the University of Alabama. No
one was injured.
Police said they did not know
what type of explosive caused
the blast or if it was connected
with the integration of the uni
versity earlier this year.
A hole about four indies deep,
one foot long and six inches
wide was torn in the pavement
in front of Mary Burke Dormi
tory East. Miss Malonc, one of
two Negroes admitted to the
university last June, resides in
Mary Burke Dorm West. The
two dorms are connected by a
narrow walkway.
Several National Guardsmen
joined local and county police
in tlie investigation.
Police said the blast occurred
al about 3:15 a.m. CST (4:15
a.m. EST) but because' there
were not witnesses and little
damage was caused, they did
not find the location until after
4 a.m.
Although it was heard over a
wide area, the explosion did
little damage and no windows
were broken in nearby buildings.

Bank Robbed
Pair Sought
Jeremiah R. Terrence, in his
early 20s, both of the nearby
North Island Naval Air Station.
Taylor and Terrence fit the
description of the two gunmen
who took the money from the
bank on pay day Friday, then
fled out tlie naval station's main
gate, guarded by three marines.
The bandits were dressed in
Navy shore patrol uniforms and
wore greasepaint, authorities
said. The robbery was one of
the largest in Pacific Coast his-
lory.
An estimated 45 persons in
the Bank of America branch
were startled when tlie white
helmeted bandits fired two pis
tol shots into the ceiling as a
warning. About 40 of the cus
tomers were forced to lie face
down and five women tellers
were herded into a small stiilf
room, the FBI said.
The bandits', one short
and the other over six-feet tall,
pulled off the robbery in a mat
ter of minutes despite the large
crowd. Many of the sailors on
this base had just been paid in
checks they frequently cashed
at the bank, the Navy said.
Teller Marian Asman, 32, San
Diego, said "The smaller man
was nervous during the holdup.
But the big man was as calm'
as they come. When he (the
tall man) left he said, 'Good-by
folks'."
