PHOENIX. Ariz. UPI — Republican presidential candidate Barry M. Goldwater Monday prepared for a campaign swing through California during which he planned to elaborate on his proposal for automatic annual income tax cuts. The Arizona senator, who is scheduled to start his intensive day-to-day campaigning Tuesday at San Diego, Calif., spent a quiet Labor Day at his hilltop home here. Goldwater mentioned plans for automatic yearly cuts m federal income taxes in a speech at Lockport. N. Y.. on Saturday. He planned to outline these plans Tuesday mght in his first major speech of the week to be delivered at a huge campaign rally at the Dodgers baseball stadium in Los Angeles. GOP officials hope to fill the 56,000seat stadium for the address. Sunday Goldwater tossed a few barbs at the Defense Department, saying Defense Secretary Robert McNamara had closed more military bases in four years than were closed in the eight years of the Eisenhower administration. And he renewed his charge that McNamara and President Johnson were reducing Air Force strength with no new bombers presently on order. Goldwater also expressed shock and surprise at state-
Vinson, D-Ga.. chairman of the House Armed Services Committee and retiring “Dean” of the House. Keating Raps Bobby Kennedy SYRACUSE. N. Y. UPI Sen. Kenneth B. Keating. RN.Y., charged Monday that Robert F. Kennedy, Democratic candidate who hopes to unseat him. “doesn’t know much about foreign affairs” and “talks out of both sides of his mouth” on political issues. Keating, who arrived here at noon to begin a campaign tour of the New York State Exposition, said the former U.S. attorney general, whom he did not mention by name, “doesn't know much about foreign affairs, except for hi? visit to Indonesia.” Furniture Spilled State police at the Putnamville Post reported this morning that a truck load of furniture was spilled on U.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. UPI — President Johnson’s administration “has sworn in an agreement with the Soviet Union that it shall never take action against Castro,” William E. Miller. GOP vice presidential nominee, charged Monday in a Labor Day address prepared for delivery here. Miller said that President Johnson is thinking in terms of accommodation with the Communists instead of trying to win the cold war. Apparently seeking to allay Democratic allegation? that Sen. Barry M. Goldwater is “trigger happy.” Miller said: “No man in America hates war more than Barry Goldwater.” “He detests the very thought of being a wartime president.” Miller said. Miller said “instead of facing the problem of Communist slavery in Eastern Europe, in Latin America, in Africa, in Asia, and elsewhere with a positive policy born out of strength and courage. Lyndon Johnson's administration only ignores it, hoping that somehow communism might go away. . . “Free Cuba! But this administration says no! In fact, this administration has sworn in an agreement with the Soviet Union that it shall never take action against Castro Cuban Premier Fidel Castro.” Miller spoke on the courthouse square in South Bend, home of his alma mater, Notre Dame University. Earlier in a busy Labor Day of politicking, he paraded and pumped hands in the Lake County steelmaking center of Gary and In nearby Porter County. Both Lake and Porter counties went for Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace in the Indiana presidential primary and the areas have been watched for possible signs of “w hite backlash” in the coming election. Miller charged that the campaign in Viet Nani has been waged on the promise of coun.selling our soldiers there “to do enough to die but not enough to win.” Miller said that under the policies of the Johnson administration “we can see only disaster on the horizon for American working men and women.” “The picture is not bright,’' Miller said. “We have nearly five million Americans unemployed. more, incidentally, than when this administration took office. “In fact, at no time during the past four years has this administration been able to equal the 4.9 per cent average of the Eisenhower years. “Today there are 14 million Americans who are only working part time. In addition. 2 million moi-e are being displaced each year by advancing technology and automation.” Miller attacked the war on poverty program of President Johnson, especially the proposal to establish forest camps. “Will they just sit and commune with nature and emerge from the camps no better equipped for ;i job than when they entered?” Miller asked.
