LOS ANGELES UPI — Sen. Barry M. Goldwater headed his presidential campaign caravan up the West Coast today from a tumultuous one-night stand in Dodger Stadium, where 53.000 persons gave a rousing reception to his proposal for a 25 per cent income tax cut over five years. The big rally was another Southern California success for the Republican presidential nominee, who won an important victory in this state's primary election. Goldwater himself was delighted with the proceedings. Asked whether he was satisfied, as he returned to his hotel here, he said. “Yes, I’d like to have one like that every day. That was the best I’ve ever had.’’ It was an encouraging climax
for the first day of the senator’s intensive campaigning. From Los Angeles he was to head for Sacramento today with later stops at Klamath Falls and Eugene. Ore., and a night foreign policy speech in Seattle. Wa. hington. The rally had all the Hollywood trimmings indigenous to this area. Feature of the evening, of course, w a s Goldwater’s tax speech. He attacked what he called the tax “gimmierky” of the Johnson administration and proposed his own program involving a five per cent income tax cut for individuals and corporations in each of the subsequent five years. His speech was interrupted more than 60 times by applause and sometimes the crowd broke in to chant, “we want Barry.”
