PHILADELPHIA UPI — The 64th annual Mummers parade, postponed from New Year's Day because of bad weather, was held today under predicted fair skies and a court injunction against the use of blackface makup. The injunction, which also barred two civil rights groups from demonstrating against the use of blackface makeup, was granted by a three-judge panel late Friday because of the danger of possible racial violence. Judge Eugene V. Alessandroni issued the injunction because “there is a clear and present danger of violence and possible bloodshed to onlookers and bystanders because of increasing racial threats.” An estimated 2,000 policemen were expected to be on duty along the three-mile parade route on Broad Street to

marchers, some of whom still threatened to use blackface, and
protesters.
One possible trouble spot was that many so-called “independent” marchers who are not members of any regular comic division organization mingle with
the parade.
Bill Turrelli, president of the Liberty Clowns, one of the comic divisions enjoined against blackface, said Friday “If there is any cork makeup in this march, it’s because they snuck in with us. My marshals have orders to keep them out.” He added that some dues-paying marchers in his club would actually be Negroes.
PHOENIX, Ariz. UPI — Sen. Barry Goldwater, his decision to seek the GOP presidential nomination widely applauded by fellow Republicans, departs at 10 a.m. EST for Washington today to plunge into a primary campaign battle against Gov. Nelson
A. Rockefeller.
Goldwater announced Friday he would run for the Republican presidential nomination in a series of state primary elections, starting with New Hampshire March 10. Rockefeller already is campaigning in the
state.
Goldwater will begin his stumping for the nomination with speeches in New Hampshire Tuesday and Wednesday. The immediate result of Goldwater's dramatic, but expected, declaration was to assure a series of direct confrontations with Rockefeller in several primaries.
Goldwater proposed to give voters a “clear choice” between his brand of conservatism and

The Goldwater-Rockefeller collision recalled the 1952 struggle for GOP power which saw then Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower overcome the late Sen. R.obert Taft for the presidential nomination. Goldwater has sometifhes been compared to Taft, the foremost conservative spokesman of his
time.
Both Goldwater and Rockefeller indicated they favored giving voters a choice between the divergent principles within the same basic political philosophy
of the Republican party.

Rabbi Dies
GREAT NECK, N. Y. UPI— Rabbi Walter H. Plant, 44, who in 1961 joined the first clergy freedom ride for civil rights, died Friday. Rabbi Plaut was spiritual leader of Temple Emanuel here.
AMMAN, Jordan UPI — Pope Paul VI arrived in the Holy Land today to begin his historic "pilgrimage of prayer" on the soil trod 2,000 years ago by Jesus Christ. The Pope's jet airliner landed out of foggy and cloudy skies shortly- after after 1 p.m. 6 a.m., EST on its history-making flight. The 66-year-old pontiff will spend the next three days visiting the places where Jesus was born, grew up, and died. He also will hold Christian unity meetings with Patriarch Athenagoras I of the Eastern Orthodox Church and other leaders of the Eastern Christians who have been split from Rome for more than five centuries.
“I will offer a choice, not an echo,” said Goldwater, the 55-year-old westerner who has bec o m e the leading American spokesman for the conservative viewpoint in two Senate terms. His announcement was made as he braced himself on crutches and leaned on a lectern in the sunshine outside his $100,000 hilltop home. Goldwater recently underwent minor surgery on his foot.
Regardless of their own political philosophy, most Republicians— including Rockefeller —welcomed the announcement. Southern Republicans were particularly enthusiastic, and Georgia chairman James Dorsey called Goldwater “our best candidate.”

WASHINGTON UPI — The State Department said Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev's lengthy non-aggression proposal was a “disappointing" and slanted approach to the problem of settling territorial disputes. State Department press officer Robert J. McCloskey said that on the face of it, Khrushchev’s message to President Johnson and other Western leaders “is not an objective statement of the problem of territorial disputes and is therefore a disappointing response to President Johnson’s call for progress toward peace.” Some officials privately described the 21-page letter as a loaded propaganda pitch designed to further the illusion that the Soviets were taking the initiative in world peace when, in fact, they had made no new or positive suggestions. While kissing off Khrushchev’s ploy as a one-sided look at world problems, the State Department nevertheless promised to “give it careful study, together with our Allies, in order to ascertain wiiether we can develop any constructive steps which w’ould help in easing tensions throughout the world.”
