Barry Go|dwater
Politician

WASHINGTON (UPD - Ari-
IONA has only five electoral
votes and that alone makes
Sen. Barry Golwater an I'M
usual candidate for the presi-
dental nomination. Professional
politicians prefer a man from
the states with big populations
which can contribute massive
support to the cause.
\. Goldwater did not climb SLOW
ly up the political ladder step
by step. He did it in one enor-
nous leap. In 1851 the only po-
litical office he ever had held
was city councilman in Phoe-
nix. A year later he was elect
ed to the United States Senate.
1t was sufficient of an upset
to focus national attention on
him. Stephen Shadegg, in a
sympathetic biography of Gold
water, says the odds were five
to one against him. Arizona had
not elected a Republican sena-
tor since 1920, and the voters
registration was heavily Demo
cratic. GoldWater won by only
1000 votes and frankly admits
he probably was carried into Of
flee on the momentum of the

hover In 1858 Goldwater was
reelected by $4,000 votes.

FuIhright Wants
Nations Press
To Probe Itself

WASHINGTON (UPD - Sen.
J. William Fulbright, D : Ark,
suggests that the nations press
take an honest look at its own
practices before casting impli-
cations on persons in public
life.
Fulbright cited a New York
newspaper story describing a
$3.50, 900 press junket staged to
promote an upcoming movie.
The story said about $50 re-
Iporters from % countries and
So cities in the United States
got free transportation to Holly
wood and housing and services
for four days. In return, it said,
some very favorable" articles
were written about the movie,
Its a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad
World" Only five newspapers
paid the expenses of their re-
porterS, the story said.
"At a time when the press is
SO quick to attach grave con-
flict of interest implications to
the activities of others, | sug-
EgeSt the journalism profession
take an honest look at its own
practices" Fulbright said.
Its responsibilities to the
public in terms Of honesty and
integrity are no less than the
responsibilities resting on those
who serve that same public as
elective and appointed officials.

Cured a t the Republican
national convention in 1860
when he was looking longingly
at the vice presidential nominal
ton CT would have to have
marijuana in my veins to say
| wouldn't accept it"). The con-
vention nominated Richard Nix
on and Henry Cabot Lodge and
drafted a liberal platform of
which Goldwater bitterly disap-
proved.
For a man whose home state
could muster only five electoral
votes, Goldwater's presidential
potential looked unpromiSing.
But he had one factor going for
him his two terms as chair
man of the senatorial campaign
committee for the Republicans.
This job took him all
over the nation. He met the
professional politicians and
made speeches to the voters.
He planted the seeds of the
flowers hat are blooming for
him now - the argument that
Republicans cannot win if they
are going to be a "mee too"
party with liberal platforms
and candidates.
Many Speech Offers
Invitations for speeches began
pouring into his office. Not all
of them were from political or
CARNATIONS, for Goldwater is a
Mason, a Shriner, an Elk, a
Moose, a member of Sigma Chi,
Eastern Star, Alianza, Veterans
of Foreign Wars, American Le-
|gion and Woodmen of the
World. He is not an orator in
the sense that he utters ringing
phrases and carries his listen
ers to emotional peaks, but he
is an effective speaker because
he has a sense Of humor,
speaks out bluntly and gives
the impression of sincerity.
It is difficult to pin-point a
date On which the Goldwater
campaign ceased to be an in
formal series of speeches
|c"just hedge-hopping around the
country talking to people') and
became a real drive for the
nomination. April 8 Of this year
may be as good as any other
date, for it was then that a
young business investment man
from Dallas, Tex, named Pc
ter O'Donnell, announced he
was opening a national draft
|Goldwater headquarters here in
Washington.
He said he was doing 1t with
out the advice or consent of
Goldwater, and the committee
rented office space on Connec-
.ticut Avenue for $1,000 a
month. O'Donnell spends part of
his time here and part travel
ling in behalf of the Goidwater
candidacy.
Advised To Run
Sometime between now and
the end of the year O'Donnell
and members Of his committee
plan to call on Goldwater. They
will tell him there is a grass
roots demand that he run for
1.-THE nomination. They will tell
him about their estimate of how
|he would fare against President
Kennedy in next years election.
On the basis of that estimate

What is considered an un-I
usually drastic measure was
passed Wednesday afternoon
when the House, by a vote of
% to IL, put through a House
substitute for Senator Hazel's
bill to prevent the use of Gig
arettes by minors. Under the
bill itwould be unlawful TO know
ingly sell or give cigarettes to
any person under FL years.
Minors buying cigarettes would
be subject to a fine, and those
misrepresenting their age would
also be subject to a fine. The
fines range from $40 to SIS.

bout a hundred school children
were present when action was
taken on the bill. The vote on
the bill was as follows: Yeas

the bill. She said the bill be-
ing considered was one of the
most important measures that
has come before the General
Assembly this season, as 1t
protects the boys of the State
against the poisonous Gig
arettes. She declared that the
smoking of cigarettes among
boys was spreading like Wild
fire. Those who have made a
study of 1t, she declared say
that from 200 to l,500 boys
are forming the habit every day
of the year. Mrs. Aaron did
not consider the bill drastic

It. He thought the measure would
in no way be a hardship on
those who sell cigarettes, as
they do not want to sell to

lieves the bill would stop the
sale of cigarettes to minors.

and not attempt to read them.
Representative Mooney raised
the point that the section of
the bill which provides fine
of SIS on a minor misrepre-
senting his name was too Sc
we're. He said a father may have
an incorrigible son, and would
be required to pay these fines
when the boy misrepresented
age. Representative Hirsch
thought the bill was entirely
too drastic. He said there is
now a law prohibiting the sale
of cigarettes to boys under IL
years of age and defied any
one to show where there had
been five arrests under the law

then taken and the bill passed.
