Claims Goldwater Will Be Defeated
INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The chairman of the Indiana Scranton For President Committee claimed at a news conference here Tuesday that Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., will not be the 19<54 Republican presidential nominee. • 1 Robert D. Orr, Evansville, dedared that “by convention time Goldwater will be far short of the necessary votes to win on the first ballot. If he doesn’t make it on the first, he’s dead.’’ Orr, who said he has been a personal friend of Pennsylvania Gov. William Scranton since both attended Yale together, said his group would file its organization papers today with the Indiana secretary of state. He also criticized strongly what he termed “the harassment” of Clarence Hamilton, Columbus industrialist, and one of Indiana’s 32 delegates to the GOP national convention opening July 12 in San Francisco. Hamilton has stated he would vote for Scranton as soon as he is released from Indiana’s obligation to Goldwater. Orr said that he specifically called Hamilton and “urged him not to attend this press conference. It was with no little difficulty that I obtained his assent to remain in Columbus this afternoon. It has become jierfectly plain to us that Mr. Hamilton has been subjected to enough harassment already as a result of the position he has taken on his obligations as a delegate.” Attacks "Radicals" “We just didn’t have it in us to glue the radical rightwingers any additional opportunity to throw their weight around or further intimidate this 'Courageous man,” Orr said.

diana GOP vice chairman, who is vice chairman of the Scranton for President Committee, said that Mrs. Hamilton had gotten the brunt of the telephone calls to her husband objecting to his announced intention to vote for he could. Orr and Mrs. Snyder said the Ha mil ons told them most of the calls were anonymous. Orr;, said specifically that so far ps he knew “none of the pressure" was from Hamilton's 9‘h ‘District chairman, Robert Stewart, who also is state GOP chair-, man. Orr said, however, "It is certainly deplorable that here in Indiana a man can't stand on his feet and state an opinion which he is perfectly entitled to make without being crucified." Goldwater won Indiana's presidential preference primary which under state law entitles him to the 32 Hoosier votes on the first ballot. Orr, an attorney, said he personally thinks na ional GOP convention rules supersede the Indiana law and that the Hoosiers "actually could vote their conscience on the first ballot. But 1 doubt that the Indiana delegation will take this position." Claims Miller Racking Orr said Irwin Miller, former president of National Council of Churches, is "among the p dminent peo pl e' f1 backing Scranton. He said also that members of the Indiana committee have contacted veteran Hoosier congressman, Charles Halleck, House minority leader, "but I <Jon'.G think I know his views wen enough—to say" how he feels about Scranton. Orr said he still is not certain if Scranton will visit Indiana before the GOP convention but "I am hopeful." He deci ined to • identify any of the other Indiana delegates except Hamilton who, he said, would vote for Scranton if they could. He sgid merely there. were “quite a number" among the 32 in this position. Russell McDermott, Indianajmlis, was- introduced as finance chairman Orr also said that John Cooper, Fort Wayne, as secretary, would file incur |x>ration papers for the committee.

Welsh returned to . his office after attending first-time conferences- -to Canada bet wen, Canadian afid U.S. officials aimed at controlling dropping water levels in the Grbat Lakes. At an impromptu news conference, Welsh answered reporters" quettions \ that included the conference, reapportionment, higher education and his own future political hopes. Welsh, who cannot succeed himself as governor, goes out of office in January. Although his name, has been mentioned several times as a candidate for vice president, the governor had not appeared previously to have read these reports. But today, Welsh told a newsman who asked about his hopes for vice presidential nomination. and “I have not discussed it with any public figure.” s “The one the President selects will be nominated.” But he added if Johnson decided a Midwest governor is best for the ticket, “I’d be happy to accept.” Welsh said the two water conferences at Toronto and Montreal were important because they produced a realization that the dropping levels of
the Grea't Lakes represent a serious economic problem that can be solved by cooperation between the two nations. “The important point is that Canada has evidenced an interest in such control, and engineers say it is. possible to control the water levels in the lakes,” Welsh said. “The people of Indiana have a tremendous stake.
