LINN HOSTESS TO RESEARCH CLUB Mrs. Ned Johnson gave a very interesting report on Williamsburg, Va., when the Research club met Monday in the home of Mrs. William Linn. To get to Williamsburg, one can travel route 17, the same road that many generals in both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars traveled with their armies. It is also the road over which John Wilkes Booth rode, after shooting Lincoln, to make his escape. One travels into an ordinary town until he gets into the restored part of Williamsburg with its true historical background. A Dr. Goodwin first got the idea of restoring part of the town to its original background. He gave a talk in New York in 1925 and John D. Rockefeller, Jr., heard him and became interested in the project and gave it much financial backing. Much research had to be done to be sure everything was authentic. As one enters the restored part of Williamsburg, one can see the White House, the Brush house, which has the oldest house in the group; it is a cookhouse in the back which still is used as such in the summber time. William and Mary College is still in existence and, although its enrollment has never been great, it has produced presidents of the U.S., signers of the Declaration of Independence and many governors. Other places of importance are Bruton church and the governor’s palace, which is so grand it almost takes one’s breath away. After the business meeting, Mrs. Linn passed candies. The Christmas meeting and tea will be held December 17 with Mrs. Glen Dickerson as hostess.

Infra Party Power Fight Looms In GOP CHICAGO (UPI) — jßepublicans, wasting no time in mapping strategy for the 1964 election campaign, are loading their weapons for what may be the most bitter intra - party power struggle since 1952 when GOP members were forced to choose sides between Eisenhower and Taft. From a Republican point of view, last month’s election was widely interpreted as a clear-cut victory f or the liberal wing of the party with candidates like Nelson A. Rockefeller, George Romney and William Scranton emerging in control of key governorships. Rockefeller, in fact, has been tabbed by many as the front runner for the 1964 GOP presidential nomination. But if there were any notions that Republican conservatives were ready to accept Rockefeller as the mgn to challenge President Kennedy, they probably were dispelled here this past weekend. Meet At Motel A determined group of conservative Republicans from all parts of the country—but with a notably strong concentration from the South—gathered at a motel here Sunday to draft plans for a “Goldwater for President” drive. The strategy — session, 'attended by about 40 persons, was held in secrecy. Word of it leaker out only Monday. The general purpose of the meeting was to prepare and organize a strong conservative voice in the party that would speak with power at the 1964 Republican presidential convention. Specifically discussed were possible ways of blocking Rockefeller’s bid for the nomination and gaining the candidacy for Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz. . If Goldwater and the New York governor actively oppose each other for the nomination, it would touch off the most direct clash between liberals and conservatives in the Republican party since the 1952 pre - convention battle between Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and the late Ohio senator, Robert Taft. Unknown to Goldwater Goldwater, reached Monday night at his home in Phoenix, said he ‘knew nothing of the Chicago meeting. “I just got back from Grand Canyon,” he told newsmen. “I don’t know who they are or what it is.” He declined any further comment. Republican National Committee Chairman William E. Miller also refused to comment. But Charles Barr, a Cook County, 111., Republican leader who attended 'the closed door session, called it “a meeting where you let your hair down and talked candidly about the candidates and the issues that might be affecting the (1964) race.” , Barr said five possible presidential candidates were discussed

and it "was generally concluded, the strongest candidate, if he wereT available, would be Senator Goldwater.” He said Rockefeller was given little chance of defeating Kennedy if he received the nomination. “As a matter of fact, some people went so far to say from Kennedy’s standpoint Rockefeller would be the best candidate,” Batt- said. “There was considerable discussion about the attitude of the South and the border states about Rockefeller.” Barr said, adding that most of those present felt the South would vote Democratic if Rockefeller were the GOP candidate. FOUR COUNTY J (Continued from Page One) Approximately 2,400 people attended the banquet, which was to | have been honored by the presence I of the chief scout executive of the ' Boy Scouts of America. Joseph' IA. Brunton, Jr., however, was i "fogged in” in New York city, ; and was unable to fly to the meeting as planned. j However), by making arrangements through ■ WKJG-TV and NBC, eight minutes of his speech was sent over the leased wire, and recorded locally, then replayed, wjth very natural sound. The entire program,' with awards, lasted about three hours.
