Plans Final Day WASHINGTON UPI — Sen. Barry Goldwater planned a final day of routine chores today before jumping into the hurlyburly of the GOP National Convention as its likely presidential nominee. Aides said the senator had no appointments scheduled. They said he might work quietly at home instead of going to his Senate office or his downtown headquarters here.

Charge Backers Of Conducting Smears CHICAGO UPI — Gov. William W. Scranton heads for GOP Platform Committee hearings in San Francisco today with the charge that backers of Sen. Barry M. Goldwater are conducting a “smear” campaign against his patriotism. With two days of grass roots campaigning behind him. the Pennsylvania governor went on national television Tuesday night to accuse Goldwater’s managers of using "every conceivable kind of pressure and threat” on delegates to the Republican National Convention. Scranton's speech climaxed a last-ditch drive in Illinois to win the support of rank and file Republicans even though the state’s important 58-man delegation has gone on record with 48 votes for Goldwater and none for Scranton. Goes To Work On New Job SAIGON, Viet Nam UPI — Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, whose arrival coincided with a Communist order for a “genera! offensive,” put off diplomatic protocol today and went straight to work in his new job as U.S. ambassador to South Viet Nam. Taylor conferred for one hour this morning with the premier, Gen. Nguyen Khanh, even before presenting his credentials to the figurehead chiefs of state, Gen. Duong Van Minh. Taylor had arrived only 24 hours earlier to assume his new post. This was the signal for Communist undercover agents in Saigon to circulate leaflets ordering a nationwide "general offensive” to discourage any American attempts to extend the war here to Communist North Viet Nam. The order was not seen as a hollow threat. Communist Viet Cong guerrillas ordered their last “general offensive” following the military coup which overthrew President Ngo Dinh Diem last November, and proceeded to deal the Vietnamese government its worst series of

setbacks yet.

Coinciding with the "general offensive” announcement was the heaviest Viet Cong rampage through the central highlands in more than a year. Nine Negroes Are Beaten By United Press International A group of white men, swinging baseball bats, attacked about nine Negroes at an integrated lunch counter in Bessemer, Ala., Tuesday. At least one Negro was severely beaten. At Tuscaloosa, Ala., white men forcibly escorted six Negroes from a snack bar that was prepared to lower racial barriers. Most other restaurants and lunch counters, and a theatre, in the city peacefully accepted Negro customers. Eight Negroes were arrested at Selma, Ala., for picketing in connection with a voter registration drive. Negro leader Tom Brown said more pickets would return today and keep police

“quite busy.”

Tries To Head Off Teen-Age Rumble BOSTON UPI —Secretary of State Kevin H. White today tried to head off a rumble with a group of teen-agers. The three boys and a girl aren’t members of a gang. They’re budding politicians — and that’s the problem. White says they’re budding too early. He called a meeting at 2 p.m., to try to convince them to withdraw their names from the political battleground. Three of them—Leonard Tagg of Weymouth. Paul Rapo of Southbridge and Linda Sullivan of Wellesley—are running as independants for seats in the Massachusetts House of Representatives. Tile fourth. Lewis W. Trout of Quincy, plans to run on stickers for the Republican nomination to oppose executive Council Patrick J. (Sonny) McDonough. Tagg, Rapo, Trout and Miss Sullivan are 16 years old.

tack.

Barry Goldwater on the issues of civil rights and extremist groups. Makes Loan WASHINGTON UPI — The World Bank has made a $82 million loan to Nigeria as part of a multi-nation.

Agrees To Extend Service Deadline TERRE HAUTE UPI—Mayor Ralph Tucker and other city officials today began a search for some means of preserving public transportation here if the Terre Haute Transit Co. goes through with its decision to suspend most of its operations. President Roland St. John notified Tucker Tuesday that the firm planned to suspend most of its operations effective July 15 because of financial losses in recent years. Following a meeting with Tucker and other citj* officials. St. John agreed to extend the deadline for a limited time but would not set a specific new date. He said the company wanted to give the city "a reasonable chance” to arrange for other transportation. Tucker said following the meeting that city officials did not know what action they would take but that the bus service "is vital to the wellbeing and the economy of the community. W'e will not tolerate this action.” He said he did not believe the company could break a 25-year contract negotiated with the city in 1955. St. John said school bus transportation in the city will not be halted. That is covered in a separate contract which

The GOP platform makers will need to write verbs and some muscle into Dr. Milton S. Eisenhower’s government economy proposals if the KennedyJohnson big spending record is to be made a red-hot Republican issue in the presidential campaign. Dr. Milton is Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's brother and chairmen of the Critical Issues Council of an organization calling itself Republican citizens. He will put Gov. William W. Scranton in nomination for president. The council has been engaged this year in producing position papers for the Republican party. These papers were offered as a basis for the 1964 Republican presidential platform. Mrs. Clare Boothe Luce presented this week to the Republican Platform Committee in San Francisco a statement in behalf of the council, of which she is a member. About 400 words were devoted to fiscal policy. Fisal policy covers the area of political dispute that is fundamental in distinguishing conservatives from liberals and, sometimes, in separating Republicans from Democrats. Conservatives believe their best issue against Democrats in this presidential campaign may be loose federal purse strings, annual deficits piled on annual deficits and a zooming public debt with the end never in sight. The relatively soft approach of the Critical Issues Council to this area of political controversy seems not to develop the potentialities of the situation. The firmest position taken by the council in Mrs. Luce’s statement was in a proposal for a Bipartisan Citizens Advisory Committee to make recommendations on budget priorities and to suggest ways of improving budget making and accounting process. Such a proposal for a Bipartisan Committee to consider several profound questions is not likely to electrify the voters nor to send them roaring into the streets whooping it up for the Republican presidential candidate. The council’s statement on fiscal policy reads like an ivory tower rewrite of some gentle professor’s numinations on government, taxes, debt and deficits. What the council should employ is a senes of short, simple. direct sentences explaining what may be WTong with Ken-nedy-Johnson fiscal policy, why it is wrong and what the Republicans w’ould do about it. Recommended reading for the gently spoken citizen councillors are some lines from Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 1932 platform. Believe it or not, the Democrats said in 1932: “We advocate an immediate, drastic reduction of governmental expenses by abolishing useless commissions and offices and eliminating extravagance to accomplish a saving of not less than 25 per cent in the cost of federal government. “We favor a federal budget annually balanced. We advocate a sound currency.”
