point Of insisting in his speech
that his colleague from Arizona
would be q truly national cam

any single region.
The Draft Goldwater"
movement has come in for
criticism from G. o. p. leaders
in the Northeast for distribute
ing q map showing how the
Senator could beat Mr.. Ken
needy without carrying Cali
fornia, Michigan, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, New York or Massa-
chusetts.

onto q screen for the edifica-
ton Of those attending last
nights rally. But F. Clifton
White, director Of the Draft
Goldwater Committee, told the
audience, I'VE do not write off

He warned the audience.
however, that the Senator would
have "a mess on his hands"
when he took over from Mr..
Kennedy.
He would need to "clean out
our State Department from top.
to bottom" he said, to pro-
