Senator Goldwater delivered
one of the most scathing de-
nunciations of the President yet
offered by a major Republican
spokesman at a press confer
ence and in a speech to the
windup session Of a conference
Of Southern G. o. P. leaders.

tive Southerners have no place

the Senator also put himself
fatty on record against moves
by the Federal Government to
enforce int grafton in the
schools.
Seen Boost for GOIdwater
His comments were viewed
with particular interest by ma
ltional Republican officials here.
2 coming as they did on the heels
of news of New York Gov. Mel
son A. Rockefeller's impending
divorce.
That announcement. in the
privately expressed opinion of
virtually every major Republic
can leader, has damaged the
Governors stock and thereby
increased the chances Of Sena-
tor Goldwater winning the 1864
presidential nomination.
BY outspoken condemnation
today Of the left wing" think
ing of the Kennedy administra-
ton and his obvious bid for sup
port of Southern segregation
lists, the conservative Senator
made it plain he is not going to
swing toward the middle Of the
road in seeking the nomination.
At his press conference. SEN
ator Goldwater said he
wouldn't want to comment on
anything as personal as the
Rockefeller divorce. He said he
had no thoughts for 1854 other
than to run for reelection to
the Senate.
( Advises G. 0. P.
Z However, he was free in his
advice on where the Republi-
cans should go in their quest
for victory in 1864 - to the
"hinterlands" and not to the
big cities of the North.
The elections earlier this
month in New York and New
Jersey, he said, show "the So
called liberal approach the Re-
publican Party is unfortunately
attracted to can't win cleo
tions.
Were not going to get the
Negro vote as a bloc in 1864
\ or 1868, so we ought to go
hunting where the ducks are"
Based on this record" the
/ Senator added, Gov. Rookie
Teller would have trouble in
the South" if he were the 1864
nominee. ..., ..,
For himself, he promised to
bend every muscle to give the
South a voice" in future Re-
publican Party decisions ION
everything that affects the life
of the South"
Sees Platform Error
Senator Goldwater said he
thought both parties made a
mistake in pledging specific &C
ton on civil rights in their
1860 platforms. Asked If that
meant that the Republicans
should back up" from their
prior pledges, he replied, II
would hope So"
The Senator said he thought
1.-The South is making good
progress" on race relations and
believed school policies, unlike
voting rights and transporta-
ton, we're still the RESPONSE
bility of the States"
Il would not like to see my
party assume it is the role of
the Federal Government to
enforce Indignation in the
schools" he said.
Senator Goldwater said he
thought the Supreme Court
school desegregation decision
was right, but not necessarily
the supreme law of the land.
After all the Tenth Amendment
is still there"
He said those who favor Fed
eral action to desegregate
schools should press for a con-
stitutional amendment giving
the Government that authority.
Personally, he added, he would
support a contrary amendment,
spelling out the States right to
exclusive control of the opera
ton Of their schools.
Liberalism Questioned
His comments appeared to
strengthen his already formid-
able support among the Re-
publican leaders of the II
States represented here. Many
of them expressed open appre-
hension at the consequences of
a R0cknfe1ler nomination even
