SenDle your love,
But = why did you kick me
downstairs
Loved daily more as a conser-
vative hope these days. Senator
Barry Goldwater of Arizon is con-
Stantly kicked downstairs by
those who can't understand his
unwillingneSS to be a lunatic
about it.
They think he should want the
whole income tax abolished, moi
just a Limit put on the rate;
that he should wish to have
done with all foreign aid, not
just aid for maintaining social.
ism in neutral countries: that
he should be for adjustment OF
the United Nations, not just for
realizing it's no good against
war; that he should foreswear
Richard Nixon; concern HIM
self with the gur-rate fluorides-
in-drinking water and the CUR
rate mental health spots.
And most of all and summing
it all, they think he should lead
a third party.
| My admired friends Phoebe
and Kent Courtney, of the In
dependent American, love him
with a love which truly passeth
all understanding. It passes I'M
derstanding because they know
well he won't join their third
party movement.
All of which, if he holds out
against some of his conserva-
tlves, begins to make Senator
GoldWater a conservative, hope
indeed. A hope with hope in it,
not a lost cause, not a dated and
no longer desirable party line.
NIXON COUNTS ON A SIZ-
ABLE Southern electoral vote if
Kennedy is nominee, says the
United States News. 1t says
Texas. Florida, Tennessee and
Virginia are especially in the
Vice Presidents thoughts. Evil
IDENTIFY he has been confused
about the situation in my Ala
bama because of the erroneous
statement that a Patterson
state" won nine delegates at
large races in the first primary.
Since the slate was at least as
much a States Rights as a Pat
terson one, with seven of the
nine endorsed by this paper,
column and other States Rights
men, and the other two elected
for reasons other than either
Kennedy or Patterson, there is
no evidence that anybody but
the governor is for Kennedy
and even he seems unhappy.
Because of the miS-report of
an q d mi t G dly complicated
situation, Kennedy is permitted
to claim Alabama when he has
no more support here than in
other Southern states.
A HAT-FULL OF HURRAHS
and twenty buckets Of payola
and free advertisement for
Woolworth and Kress!
They've gone States Rights,
both of them, announcing that
as regards sit-ins they will FOL
low the race customs establish
ed by local people for the con-
| duct Of business in their COM
munlty' tas WoolWorth's Presi-
dent Robert C. Kirkwood puts
it,. This courageous and highly
American attitude strikes a blow
not only for the principles of
states rights and local self-gov-
eminent but also for free enter
prise. Too many big businesses
today won't fight for this free
dom until themselves in person
denied it. and sometimes not
even then.
THE MOVEMENT FOR AN
enlightened conservatism can i'll
afford to lose YOU" writes Edi-
tor William F. r"God and Men
at Yale") Buckley, Jr., of the
National Review. There are
tears for me, too, in the beauti-
full eyes of Phoebe Courtney,
editor of The Independent
American. equally conservative.
And tears from Phoebe larger
and more lustrous because con
servatlve Barry Goldwater
won't play third party with Kent
her husband and her INV and
neither will Bill Buckley. Mean
while MIR. Nixon. the only hope
OF the conservatives in what may
DC their last chance. rejects Mr..
Buckeyes Xtreme rightism.
Everything is pretty complicat-
ed among US big and little con
servatlves, including the ques-
ton Of what one is.
Me, it makes little difference
to anybody, but I'm Bob
