British movie actress Joan

from Rome today and was
met by her flance. actor

But it was a toothache,

Rome.
Reports from Rome were
that she rushed here after
getting a message from
Mr.. Beatty, %, an actor

Manhattan.
But the 25-year-old bru-

Congress Action
The District already has
achieved the first major step
toward voting for President
and Vice President. Congress
before adjourning approved a
constitutional amendment CIV
ing the District a vote fer Pres
ident and Vice President. The
amendment must be approved
by three fourths of the States,
however, before it actually
takes effect. The District plank
drafted for the Republican
platform refers to this amend
ment approvingly.
Legislation to give the Dis
trict national representation
and home rule, however, failed
to get through the last session
of Congress.
If the plank recommended
by the subcommittee is in
cluded in the platform un-
changed - and subcommittee
members seemed confident it
would be - the District will
have support for full suffrage
from both parties.
The Democrats, at their con-
ventlon. urged the States to

amendment for national suf-
frage, indorsed representation
in Congress for the capital,

Belief that the Platform

Platform committee chief

nevertheless voiced confidence
that the final version to be
submitted to the convention
Wednesday will be well within
the general framework of the
Nixon Rockefeller ideas.
Confused and Annoyed
1t seemed equally certain
late today. however, that some
of the eight subcommittee
would be successful in keeping
in the platform several key
provisions they previously ha6
agreed upon. This repeatedly
was true of the subcommittee
on agriculture and defense as
well as on civil rights.
Members of the civil rights
subcommittee, confused and
annoyed, repeatedly were max

ment on suggested wording of
a plank that would spell out
the Nixon-Rockefeller views.
They repeatedly voted, ga, late
last night for a more moderate

The governor looked like

as he stepped off his plane. the
"Wayfarer Ketch," to greet his
300 greeters. He was wearing

Over-eager as always, they

In contrast to their clamor,
the governor displayed meas
ure of calm and grace. He
obligingly repeated all the
questions put to him. When
ever anyone suggested he would
bring strength to the ticket. he
smilingly acknowledged the
compliment.
He tried to picture his long
seance with Vice President
Nixon over the platform as a
meeting of minds rather than
a bargaining session with him
self as the big markdown of
the year. He cheerfully made
the Sherman-like statement
about his vice presidential
availability.
He said he would caucus with
the New York delegation to-
morrow night, thereby raising
the possibility that the one
element of suspense in this
solemn conclave will be ended
before the gavel falls.

Nixon BIistered
ByGo|dwater
On Surrender
The Stars Convention Bureau

The Stars Convention Bureau
CHICAGO. July Ex-senator
Goldwater of Arizona today
angrily labelled the New York
platform agreement between
Vice President Nixon and Gov.
Nelson A. Rockefeller as "the
Munich of the Republican
Party"
He also charged that Mr..
Nixon, who is expected to get
the Republican presidential
nomination next Wednesday,
surrendered" to the New York
Governor and the agreement,
If unchallenged, will lead to a
Republican defeat in November.
At a press conference here,
Senator Goldwater, a spokes-
man for the party's conserva-
tive wing, bitterly assailed not
only the agreement but also
the way it was reached at a
secret night meeting at Gov.
Rockefener's Manhattan home.
A Munich on Two Counts
He amplified his remarks
with a release saying:
1T will be a Munich in two
lSenSeS-that it surbordinates
principles to expediency; and
that it guaranteed precisely the
evil it was designed to prevent
in this case a Republican de-
feat in November"
Republican conservatives, the
Senator said, must raise their
voices and make their weight
felt at the convention" so that
the country will know the party
is still conservative and "the
flag OF principle still flies.
He called the agreement
last minute pressure tactics"
to impose upon the Republican
platform writer's platform
provisions from 1000 miles
away"
Pledges Fight on Floor
Expressing doubt that the
agreement would be accepted
by the Platform Committee,
Senator Goldwater said he
would join with others in a
fight against them on the con-
vention floor if some of the
proposals are included.
He said the statement re-
leased by Gov. Rockefeller on
the agreement contained some
proposals that Mr.. Nixon told
him only yesterday in a tele-
phone conversation would not
be included in the platform.
Asked if be considered he
had been betrayed, Senator
Goldwater said:
Il don't know If betrayed is
the word. would certainly use
disappointment to a very strong
degree"
Nixon Rockefeller Ticket
He said a Nixon-Rockefeller
ticket cant be ruled out" now
and predicted that if Gov.
Rockefeller becomes a candi-
date for the Wee Presidential
nomination the convention
would give him "a respectful"
vote.
Gov. Rockefeller has said re-
peatedly he would not take
second place under any circum-
stances.
The Senator, who has been
indorSed by South Carolina and
Arizona Republicans for Presi-
dent, said the Nixon Rookie
feller agree ent had not
changed his own plans. Il am
not candidate" he said.

and myself regarding the basic
philosophy to be followed as
we go into the 1860 campaign
Whatever differences that
existed between Gov. Rookie
feller and myself were mat
ters more of specifics than of
principle. I felt it in the best
interests of both our country
and the Republican Party at
this critical time in history
that it be made clear that we
stood firmly together on these
important issues.
Therefore, 1 called Gov.
Rockefeller and arranged a
private meeting last night. The
text of the statement released
by the Governor defines our
area of agreement and pro-
videS a guide to our thinking
for the consideration of the
Platform Committee"
Promises Consideration
Mr.. Klein also read a short
statement from Chairma n
Charles Percy of the Platform
Committee, promising careful
consideration" would be given
the Rockefeller Nixon sugges-
tionS.
In subscribing to the joint
platform agreement which was
issued early today by Gov.
Rockefeller's Office, Mr.. Nixon
appeared to have departed
from the position taken by the
Eisenhower administration on
several major issues pending
in Congress this year, includ-
ing:
/. The adequacy of the exist
ing military budget, and the
scope of the defense structure.
2. The recommendation for
a "contributory system" of
financing medical care for the
aged, which contemplates a
social security payroll tax, as
provided for in the Democratic
sponsored Forand bill. The
Eisenhower administration ia
vored a program administered
by the States, with the Federal
Government helping to finance
it from general taxes. The New
York agreement also embodies
a Rockefeller suggestion that
individuals be given the option
of taking a lump sum from the
social security fund when they
reach IS and purchasing their
own private health insurance.
The recommendation t h a t
this country resume immediate
ly underground nuclear testing
for purpose of improving
methods of detection, while
ending tests already detachable
also closely resembles Gov.
Rockefeller's original proposals
to the Platform Committee.
In his Chicago press confer
ence late today. Gov. Rookie
feller took the position that the
differences between himself
and Mr.. Nixon over the plat
form were not as great to be-
gin with as many people have
thought. He said what hap
pened in New York as evidence
of that fact.
He also said he did not feel
that the 14-points agreed upon
by Mr.. Nixon and himself
constitute a reputation of
President Eisenhower.
Stresses New Problems
Il do not feel that at all"
the Governor said. New prob
lens require new solutions, and
he (the President) has said he
would welcome having the
Vice President express his
opinions"
He said the Endorsement of
a "contributory" system OF
health insurance would GER
tainly include placing it under
the social security payroll tax
law, but would not preclude
some other system, and added
that some advocates of the ad-
ministration plan contend that
also is a contributory system

When Nancy Arth of Wash
ington arrived in Chicago to
assume her duties as a conven-
ton worker, she was advised to
take good care of the big pic
ture of Vice President Nixon
on the third floor. Put it away
in a safe place each night, she
was told. Nancy couldn't find
a closet big enough for the
giant photo, so when she leaves
work she dutifully deposits the
picture in a bathtub attached

comments to questions about

have been at odds with the ad-

eight-hour session that ended
early today that he and Mr.

Hagerty Quizzed
Mr.. Hagerty was asked al
the outset of his news con-
ference whether the President
was pleased with the Nixon
Rockefeller meeting.
II haven't any comment on
that" Mr.. Hagerty said.
@. Well. the language of the
statement ISSUED by Rookie
feller after the meeting) in all
cases has not been entirely
clear, but some of it seems to
repudiate the Presidents own
policies. A. I still haven't any
comment on it.
@. AS the leader of the Re-
publican Party, why doesn't the
President have any comment
on such a development? A.
haven't any comment on it
Try it again.
@. Would the President be
pleased to see Mr.. Rockefeller
running for Vice President? A
l haven't any comment on that
either.
While some newsmen saw
the reported Nixon Rockefeller
agreement as repudiating some
Eisenhower policies, others saw
1t as clearing the way for Gov
Rockefeller to support the GOF
ticket in a unity move even
though he has reiterated he
was not interested in the vice
presidency.
No Talks With Nixon
Mr.. Hagerty said the Presi-
dent had not talked with Nixon
by telephone in the last two
or three days, but had been in
regular touch with Robert Mer-
riam, a White House staff aide
at the COP convention scene
at Chicago.
The press secretary said the
President and Mrs. Eisenhower,
on their arrival in Chicago on
Tuesday, would have lunch with
Vice President and Mrs. Nixon
in the Presidents suite in the
Blackstone Hotel.
Asked whether he would
characterize the lunch as busi-
ness, social or political, Mr..
Hagerty said he would char-
acterize it las a luncheon.
The President will address
the convention Tuesday night.
