Goldwater Opposes Knock-Down Fight

WASHINGTON (UPI) _ Sen Barry Goldwater of Arizona was pictured today as determined to avoid a knock-down, arag-out, party-splitting fight with Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller for the Republican presidential nomination. • A source close to the senator told UPI the New York governor s formal announcement of his candidacy will have no effect on Goldwater’s plans. The senator expects to announce in January whether he will seek the nomination. He also will decide then whether To enter New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary. This source, who knows Goldwater s political thinking, conceded that pressures are building up for the senator to announce early and to plunge into] the primary fights. Goldwater, however, has con-1 siderable skepticism about the value of presidential primaries. He never has considered them too important,” the source said. Concerned About Campaign He also was said to be concerned about the kind of a campaign which might be waged. “He will not go into a fight which could be suicidal for the party,” the source said. “If it turns into one of those things, the governor will be making it that way.” The senator himself, has recalled primary fights in which so much bitterness was generated that an outsider won the election. His concern is that Republicans should attack Democrats — not each other. Does this mean the senator will avoid primary fights with Rockefeller? Not necessarily. It’s too early to say what he will do about entering primaries until after he decides one way or another about being a candidate. Some Goldwater backers believe that primary competition from Rockefeller is the best thing that could happen to Goldwater. They feel it would make the primaries meaningful and enable the senator to sew up the nomination in advance of the convention. They assign to Rockefeller the political punching bag role provided by Sen. Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota in the 1960

Democratic primaries. Two solid primary victories over Humphrey gave John F. Kennedy the edge needed to win a firstballot victory at the Democratic convention. Must Weigh Factors Without active competition, these politicians argue, the GOP primaries could turn into the kind won by the late Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee when he was seeking the presidency. They brought him little but headlines. Goldwater must weight several political factors before reaching a final decision on entering the primaries. Among them: —Does Goldwater, as the front-runner, have anything to gain by furnishing a primary target to Rockefeller? — Does Goldwater stand to I gain more by taking on and trouncing Rockefeller than he would lose by a party blood-let- ' ting in a primary fight? ' — Would it be possible to smash all possible stop-Goldwa-ter movements by demonstrating the senator’s popularity with Republican voters in a few key primaries? Some Goldwater followers also have an eye on former Vice President Richard M. Nixon, who lost the White House to Kennedy by a whisker in 1960. They believe a Goldwater-Rock-efeller impasse might start a movement toward Nixon as a compromise acceptable to both factions. Roudebush Serving At Camp Pendleton CAMP PENDLETON, Calif.

School Pupils, Adults Become 111 At School SALEM, Ind. (UPI) — Fortyseven pupils and three adults were hospitalized ove might when a wave of illness blamed tentatively on food poisoning swept through the classrooms of a country consolidated school near here Wednesday. The ailment affected about 60 * Children and several adults at the Polk Twf>. School southeast of Salem near Pekin. The victims were rushed to Washington County Hospital here and state and local health oficials immediately launched an investigation. The victims included a teacher and the schoool janitor. All were reported as recovering this morning and scheduled for release from the hospital before the day is over. Laboratory tests were being performed to determine the cause of the illness. Dr. A. R. Episcopo, Washington County health officer, said it appeared to be food poisoning resulting from something eaten at lunch in the school cafeteria Wednesday noon. School officials said the lunch menu Wednesday was wieners, corn, potato salad and hot biscuits. However, a spot check of, some of those who became 'ill and those who did not indicated there was illness among various pupils who did not eat certain of the foods on the menu — among some who did not eat potato salad, or corn, or wieners. Authorities said his might 'indicate contaminated water was responsible. A few of those stricken became ill shortly after lunch but the bulk of the students did not become sick until after reaching home. Their parents rushed them to the hopital here. The sudden influx of patients strained the capacity of the hospital and administrator Harry Voyles appealed to residents of the area to provide additional cots and beds which were set up in the corridors for the patients. All doctors and nurses in the area were called to the hospital to help treat the pupils. Dr. A. Offutt, state health commissioner, sent two investigators here from Indianapolis to help determine the cause of the outbreak. Offutt also said he • thought it was food poisoning. Voyles said he was not sure how many of the schoool’s 250 pupils became ill. He said hospital staff members were so busy they did not attempt to keep a count of those who were released after examination and treatment.

Indiana Atty. Gen. Edwin K. Steers, his chief deputy, H. F. Knachel, and Steers’ father, Edwin S. Steers, senior member of the State Election Board, held an informal telephone conference this morning to discuss what happens in a city election tie. They decided informally that a 1905 law creates a vacancy in the office when no incumbent is involved, but the vacancy does not occur until the first day of the term of office. At the time the mayor who takes office on that day may appoint somebody to fill the vacancy with the approval of the new- council. In the event of a council tie, the mayor would cast the deciding vote.

GERMAN MINERS (Continued from Page One) n-lft — • bring up each man, in an order of® rescue determined beforehand by doctors who ordered the most critically ill or injured out first. ' The first man to reach the surface was iriiner Heinz Kull, 51. The last man up was miner Bernard Wolter, 28. It took exactly 56 minutes to complete the rescue from the time Kull emerged into brilliant sunshine until Wolter stepped out at the end of an entombment that had begun 13 days, 17% hours earlier. Kull’s face was so sunken it appeared almost shriveled as he was lifted out of the eight-foot-long rescue capsule. He wore a black bandage over his eyes to protect them from the bright sun. * . - ‘ The men went down into the mine at 2 p.m. Oct. 24 to start their regular work shift, and at 8 p.ip. that day they were trapped by the cave - in and flood.

The Russians have always been free to dp this, Berlin commandant Maj. Gen. James H. Polk said Wednesday.
