GOP Governors Seek Moderate Platform

CLEVELAND (UPD — A bloc of Republican governors pressed Sen. Barry Goldwater today to embrace a moderate party platform for 1964. Their action was based on the assumption that the conservative Goldwater had almost clinched the Republican presidential nomination. Tbe governors are attending the 56th annual Governors’ Conference, a theoretically nonpartisan affair devoted to state problems but dominated as usual by politics in an election year. Thirteen of the 16 Republican governors in the na'ion met for more than two hours Sunday night trying to agree on a brief set of recommendations for the pla’.form committee at the GOP convention next month. Three are known Goldwater supporters. Hopes For Agreement Gov. Robert E. Smylief of Idaho, chairman of the GOP Governors’ Association, said that he hoped all 16 governors could agree on “a firm statement on what the platform should contain. - ’ He said the Republicans would meet again, probably late today. He expressed hope that former President Dwight D. Eisenhower would be present and indicated that Goldwater would be welcome. Gov. Paul Fannin of Arizona, a Goldwater backer who attended the meeting, planned to notify Goldwater of the governors’ efforts. Absent from Sunday night’s meeting were Gov. George Romney, who had temporarily returned to Michigan, Gov. John H. Chaffee of Rhode Island, who had not arrived, and Gov. Mark 0; Hatfield of Oregon, who was slightly ill. The relation between the state and federal governments was the principal topic cm the agenda for today’s opening business session of the governors’ conference. To Arrive Tonight Eisenhower is scheduled to address the conference tonight with Goldwater an invited guest. Eisenhower planned to arrive at the conference hotel in mid-

afternoon and reserved an hour with Hatfield to discuss the keynote speech the Oregon governor will deliver at the national convention. The general was to be the house guest of George M. Humphrey, h i s former Treasury secretary and now an active leader in Goldwater’s campaign, while here; Politics dominated the governors’ activities outside the business sessions, with the Republicans much aware that Goldwa*er is on the verge of sewing up their presidential nomination five weeks before the GOP National Convention. Despite his apparent convention strength, only a handful of the Republican governors have climbed aboard the Goldwater band wagon. Sen. Goldwater Is Confident Os Win CHESTER, Pa. <UPD — Sen. Barry Goldwater believes he will be nominated for president at the Republican National Convention but he will not be entirely “certain - ” until the roll is called in San Francisco. Goldwater, who addressed the graduating class at Pennsylvania Mili’ary College Sunday, said he thought the “stop Goldwater” movement was “running out of actors” but he would not elaborate on that statement. The conservative Republican senator told a news conference he felt that former President Dwight D. Eisenhower and former Vice President Richard Nixon were not part of a campaign to halt his* presidential ambitions. He said Gov. William Scranton’s television appearance Sunday led him to believe Scranton “is not a member of a stop Goldwater movement nor by his word is he a candidate.” Scranton said on the “Face The Nation’s” program that he and other GOP leaders want assurances that Goldwater’s nomination would not mean “wedging” the party from its traditional principles. In reply to a question, Goldwater said he did not feel that his position on the civil rights trill and against" cloture to end the southern filibuster could be construed as the “wedge” Scranton mentioned. * He expressed belief that Republican support of cloture was from a “very, very limited minority ” in the Senate. . “I believe you saw the answer to this in Sen. (Bourke) Hickenlooper’s getting a postponement of the cloture,” he said. “I think Hickenlooper (R---lowa) was speaking for the bulk of the Republican senators. If the liberal (Republican) de-

I Household Scrapbook I By Roberta Lee I o 0 Burnt Spot in Rug Here is a method for camouflaging a small burned spot in carpet: First use a knife to scrape outthe discolored fabris. Then snip some pUe from a hidden area of the same rug, spread this pUe in the palm of one hand, and dab glue over it Then press the pUe into the damaged spot, and when dry, the repair will be practically unnoticeable. Moth Preventive When washing your blankets, add a cup of moth balls or crystals to the rinse water, and this will discourage any visitations by mouths when you store the blankets away.
