Beach: A Combing With Malcolm Epley. a COW PALACE The this Republicans emptied great auditorium Thursday night, happy and confident after hearing from the man who is to lead them through a campaign cast inflexibly in the pattern of conservatism. Barry Goldwater's speech was what they wanted to hear.

It was strongly worded, inspiring, effectively delivered in a style that was in itself conservative. Only the ovations from the great audience were extreme and these no more so than those at the corresponding occasion of every national party convention. It was quite a night, with former Vice President Richard Nixon's unity speech almost rivaling that of the presidential candidate in electrifying effectiveness. Nixon had asked for this particular job and he did it well, giving what most observers tabbed as one of his best performances. THE unity pleas which rang through the big hall emphasize, of course, that there has been discord and dispute here and that there is some fear among Republicans that these may have left lasting wounds, Special attention was given to Gov.

Barry Goldwater's chances for the presidency, said Thursday in Long Beach he wouldn't be surprised to see the Arizonan swept into the White House in November on a wave of anti-Negro sentiment. Gregory, speaking at a news conference in the Lafayette Hotel, left the door open to a possible shift in racial attitudes between now and election time, but he said Goldwater commands a much larger segment of the white vote than polls now indicate. And it is this "hidden sentiment," as he described it, that will enable the Republican nominee to defeat President Lyndon Johnson. The Negro comedian, who earlier addressed the 31st annual convention of the American Newspaper Guild, said Goldwater also can those Who "refuse to admit, a racial problem exists -in the And they constitute a substantial segment of the electorate, he declared. But even if Goldwater wins, said Gregory, his election won't stem the current civil rights tide.

"It's too great," he declared. "And he (Goldwater) won't be able to hurt us." Gregory, who flew into Long Beach from San Francisco to address the Guild convention, said he puts little stock in polls as election indicators today, especially since many white persons, while loath to make their racial views known publicly, nevertheless are anti-Negro in their private thoughts.

Editor, 1 The Independent, Press Telegram, Send your entries to. Snapshot .604 Pine Long Beach, Calif. 90801. IT was sort of a high moment for some of us in the press section who had been watching, for a couple of days, the members of Scranton's family sons and daughter seated just behind us. We were glad to see their happy faces.

Politics is a cruel game, and on Wednesday night, when the Scranton children saw their dad go down to defeat, they wept openly. They wept again when he went to the podium and moved for a unanimous ballot for the opponent he had stubbornly opposed. There was, I suspect, a tear or two in the eyes of some of the hardboiled newsmen who were watching. It was a touching drama. so it is over.

The AND GOP'ers will be straggling home, after a tense week and a convention that may turn out to be one of the most significant in the party's history. It was one in which the outcome was never in doubt, but until the final stages there was a question as to whether the stern pattern of conservatism set by the dominant figures would be tempered with moderate amendment. The Goldwater philosophy held inflexibly firm, not relenting even to permit platform changes which seemed harmless and, in some cases, even more appropriate to the Goldwater theme than the original provisions. Ahead lies a campaign which many here think will be one of the sharpest, and toughest in U. S.

political history. But it will be one in which everybody will know the issues. And that is good. -Staff Photo by CURT JOHNSON 'IN THE EVENING, BY THE FIRELIGHT, A sleepy Colorado Lagoon, a semi-tropical Long Beach moon, and couples on a sandy "island."

WANTED MAN STROLLS BY TO BE JAILED Housing Site Search By GEORGE WEEKS Long Beach city and college officials met for two hours Thursday in an attempt to set in motion proposal for an on-campus fraternitysorority site. The only tangible result was an offer by Dr. Carl W.

By ANDY PARK They spend their days productively. Walter sharpens the knives and keeps the patio furniture in shape. Emmy puts needle-and-thread to cloth and creates linen art. And, when the "older folks" are sick, 79-year-old Emmy visits them and brings a handmade napkin, doily or antimacassar to cheer them up. Of an evening, Emmy may bring out the album and there, in faded browns, sparkling memories are renewed.

There, between the covers of the album, is the first one. "The engagement picture," Emmy's proudly Germantinted English explains. "It was in 1906," Walter remembers. "Emmy was the prettiest thing in Frankfurt." The pages turn and the memories build upon, each other until the whole structure of life begins to emerge. Walter and Emmy Enders celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary recently at their apartment home, 711 W.

Broadway. DAUGHTER VERA, an animal trainer and rancher, came to visit. From Riverside, daughter Tosca and her husband, USAF Maj. Robert Kirkpatrick. brought pink champagne.

On the lawn, under the patio umbrella, Walter and Emmy looked back at a life together that spans two wars, two children and more than half a century. "Has it been an unusual life?" Tosca and Vera began talking together to tell of the many, many facets of their parents' life that their 58 years together so memorable. Momma--that's Emmy--pooh-poohs the attention. On the ledger of life, the facts are these: Walter, from East Prussia, met Emmy in Frankfurt. Walter became a bookkeeper in the giant I.

G. Farben works. Emmy operated a fashionable dress shop. His father was a captain in the Germany army. Walter answered the kaiser's call to arms in 1914 and rose to be captain himself.

From the first day of World War I to the last, Walter captained artillery for Kaiser Wilhelm. IN 1939, HE AGAIN received notice and again he went to war. Poland, Holland, the Maginot Line, and, in 1945, when the Russians overran Berlin, Walter Enders was captured 1 by the Reds. "I spoke Russian and I escaped," Walter reminds. In three months, Enders walked 500 miles to the border and, on the second try, walked again into the Fatherland.

The family parted again when Emmy brought daughter Vera to America. Several years later, the man wears the Iron Cross and the Medal of Valor was certified acceptable by the U.S. and he too, came to America to Long Beach and to Emmy and his family. Those are the facts. it been an unusual life?" "It has been our life together," Emmy replies in halting English.

And Emmy puts away the book of memories and picks up the needle-and-thread. And Walter sharpens the knives and takes care of the patio furniture. Together they talk of the 59th anniversary and the 60th and the life ahead. system for further discussions. The search for chapterhouse land became more urgent earlier in the day when the City Planning Commission by a 6-1 majority, to cop the student groups in apartment areas.

With only chairman Robert Mulvey dissenting, the commission will ask the City Council next Tuesday to kill a proposed ordinance extending the fraternities' right to occupy areas zoned R-4. The commissioners acted after listening to brief testimony, along with a letter from a housewife who charged misconduct by one fraternity as recently as Tuesday night. MRS. A. M.

VIDJAK, 125 Nieto declared in the letter that at 11:30 p.m. she was awakened by a noisy party at the Zeta Beta Tau house next door. The party makers were drinking beer, and girls were present, she said. Just before midnight she called police who responded. The party quieted down.

But later that night, according to her letter, she was awakened by a fist pounding on the wall of her dwelling, and the next morning her husband discovered that a tire on his small car had been flattened by a nail. City Manager John R. Mansell told the commission police are investigating the incidents with orders to file a complete report with him. "THIS SITUATION cannot be tolerated," Mansell said. "We are going to interview every member of the fraternity and every resident within two blocks.

If we find that the fraternity members pounded on the wall and drove a nail into the tire the city will prosecute. If they can't live with their neighbors they don't belong there." The alleged disturbance occurred within a few hours after the council referred to the Planning Commission an amended ordinance extending the fraternities' right to occupy houses in apartment areas, but under stringent regulations. The extension was for one year only. Mansell repeated to commissioners Thursday what he told councilmen Tuesday that, some of the regulations, would be difficult or impossible to enforce. NO SPOKESMEN for the fraternities or sororities appeared before the commission.

The meeting between city and college representatives was an outgrowth of a City Council motion to explore the possibility of the city's regaining a portion of the land it donated to the state for the college site. City officials could then arrange leases with the fraternities and sororities which neighbors are seeking to oust from apartment areas. Representing the city were Councilmen Raymond C. Kealer, W. S.

Grant and Bert Bond, City Manager Mansell, City Atty. Leonard Putnam and Assistant City Manager Robert Creighton. Accompanying Dr. McIntosh was his administrative assistant, Ralph T. Maloney.

Michael Damon Mosca, 23, picked a bad time Thursday to go for a walk past 4331 Lennox Blvd.which is the address of the Lennox sheriffs station. For just as Mosca strolled past, narcotics officer Richard Berman was both staring and hearing a broadcast that Mosca was NO robbery and kidnaping. Recognizing Mosca, Berman sprinted to the front door of the station and arrested him. Deputies said that Mosca was suspected of having forced, at gun point, a 73- year-old Inglewood man to drive him around in the victim's car. He was booked at the jail.

Mosk asserted that the newly dominant grouping in the GOP would seek the votes of racists, opponents of the income tax, those who would make Social Security voluntary and those favoring the impeachment of Chief Justice Earl Warren. "A SIMPLE comparison of the Republican platforms of 1960 and 1964 graphically demonstrates the change in.

party philosophy," he said, citing what he called opposing views on federal aid to school construction, protection of the consumer against harmful foods and drugs, immigration, civil rights and reduction of world tensions. THE DEMOCRATIC Party, he emphasized, "would like nothing more than to have a Republican -Party that lived up 1 to the creativity of Theodore Roosevelt. The problems ahead are so immense as to call for the best ideas from both parties and from all men. We would welcome real dialogue." But, he said, Democrats "cannot take time to debate frivolous questions with Barry Goldwater." Other speakers were Michael Cullen, candidate for GOP incumbent Craig Hosmer's congressional seat, and Assemblymen Joseph M. Kennick and Willard Hastings.
