WINGED that Senator Goldwater's
thinking was too superficial
for the presidency.
A hardening Of the Repub-
leans theological line against
Senator Goldwater could most
easily be accomplished by Gen.
Eisenhower, but the former
President shows no taste or
talent for this maneuver. Like
the others, he doesn't have an
active candidate and he is wary
Of a divisive battle for liberal
Republicanism.
His ineptitude at inter-party
politics was reflected in his
agreement with Senator Gold
water that the 1864 G. o. P.
platform should be a short
statement of principles. Such
a platform. lacking in precise
positions, would serve the pur-
poses of a campaign pitched
on negatives but it would frus-
trate those Republicans who
want their party to take q con-

Negative Mood Strong
The negative mood Is dis

: POINT OF VIEW
GoIdWater faces z Hurdles

Republican field must survive
q tough test Of durability.
The Senator's shrewdness
and composure suggest that he
may prove equal to this test.
He is, as one Republican de-
scribes him. "a strong positive
force induced by many mega
tive charges" and these charges
seem likely to hold their spark.
The doubts on Senator Gold
water still run strong. how
ever, among many influential
Republicans. They are lying
low and hiding their time but
they will strike hard II q mo-
ment Of weakness comes. Awed
by his expanding hold on the
rank and file professionals
across the country and devoid
Of a strong alternative, they
car do nothing unless, or until,
Senator Goldwater falters.
Strategists Can't Act
Seasoned and willy Republi-
can strategists such as Leon
ard Hall, Fred Scribner, Ray
Bliss, and Herbert Brownell
cannot move against the pres
ent tide Of Goldwater senti-
ment. The Senators and gov
ernors Of the party's liberal
wing cannot profitably array
themselves against q man who
has sunk deep roots among
their voters.
Their reticence is deepened
by the austere abStention from
the scene Of Gov. Romney. The
polls continue to show that the
Michigan Governor has a strong
base Of Republican support but
the only encouragement, as far
as can be learned, that he has
given the men who would like
to bring him forward Is O firm
promise that he will not take
himself out Of the picture with
the finality Of q Sherman state
ment.
Even after the Michigan Leg
islature concludes its special
session, probably sometime In
November, Gov. Romney Is not
expected to agree to the travels
and exposure that would broad
en- his support. He Is q presi-
Dental candidate but he Is
thinking Of 1868 and he is said
to feel more strongly than
many Republicans that it will
be impossible to defeat John
Kennedy in 1864.
Has Sense Of Destiny

a strong sense Of personal des-

on Senator Goldwater because
they have already tasted defeat
on the right-to-work proposal
that he has Endorsed. II may
be possible to win without the
Negroes but It Is necessary to
bid for support beyond the
suburbs.
Senator Goldwater's test VIII
lie is his ability to balance the
popular negatives in his appeal
with the facts Of contemporary
life. If he can achieve this bal
ance. he seems likely to win the
nomination, almost by default.
If he cannot, the party will
look hard at the reluctant ROM

NEWS NOTES
Richard Nixon, despite his
current speaking activity and
published speculation that he
may be a compromise choice
for the Republican nomination,
is unlikely to attract strong
support. A survey Of some lead
ing Republicans indicates that
while many suspect he Is
anxious to run again, he could
not attract the organizational
support that would make him
a serious contender.

A recommendation for scut-

by its four-member subcom-
mittee named in May to expe-
dite adoption of the agency's
General Plan for the year 1000

The advisory represents the
crumbling of the last bastion
supporting a 5-acre zone
that planning engineers previ-
ouSly tagged a key tool in pre-
serving the rural and natural
resources plotted in the Gen.
eral Plan.
Governments in both Prince
Georges and Montgomery re-
jected the 5-acre proposal
months ago as impractical.

Mount Vernon Asks Tourists HeIp

The staff at Mount Vernon
Is taking to the tourist its case
for keeping the view across the
Potomac River wooded and UNI
sullied.
A new map Is displayed on
the lawn Of George Washing
tons home illustrating the land
that the Mount Vernon Ladies
Association is trying to keep
away from the influx of mod
ernization.
The map is a mild attack on
recent congressional action re-
fusing to appropriate $724,600
that had been authorized for
purchase Of 1.100 acres on the
Maryland side of the river.
Holds Up Action
Congress originally author
lied the purchase of the land
in 1861, but as yet only $2l3,000
has been appropriated. This
went for the purchase Of Mock
ley Point, the site Of a proposed
sewage treatment plant.
Charles C. Wall, resident d.
rector at Mount Vernon, al
legged that the refusal by Con-
gress to appropriate the money
was holding up further private
efforts to secure land and ease
mentS. Some 70 easements al
ready have been secured from
private owners promising not to
Interfere with the view.
The Accokeek Foundation is
delaying a further grant of
land until it is assured the
money will be appropriated by
Congress.
! Mr.. Wall said the unspoiled
view is equally advantageous
Dor the George Washington
Memorial Parkway and Fort
Washington as for Mount +,
Vernon. !,
