Nel son Rockefeller has chal- enged Sen. Barry Goldwater, to an all out liberal vs.

conservative fight for the 1964 Republican presidential nomination. In a policy statement tanta mount to announcing his candi dacy, the wew YorK governor said Sunday the Goldwater strategy is to try to weld conserve Uve, Southern and Western sup port while writing off Northern states. ThUfv Rockefeller said, "would not only defeat the Re publican party in 1964 but would destroy it altogether." Rockefeller said it was in credible that the Republicans would offer such ah alternative to the 'unprincipled opportun isn) that has captured the Demo cratic party." PARTY OF RACISM He added: "That alternative will never be found in ft party of extremism, a party of sectional ism. a party of racism, a party that disclaims responsibility for most of the population before it even starts its campaign for their support." Goldwater, wha was not named in the statement, made no immediate response. But associates said they interpreted Rockefeller's attack as a decla ration of war they were certain the senator would accept, even though he remains an unan nounced belligerent They added that if Goldwater is writing off the industrial North as Rockefeller charged, the New York governor is giv ing up on Republican chances to collect electoral votes in the South.

FIGHTING DUDS Senate Republican Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois told a news conference he is sat isfied the Republicans can unite for the 1964 campaign no matter who their presidential nominee He said he a upon Rockefeller's statement as an indication of the "flexibility" he said prevails in the party.

Bulletin i LONDON (AP) Giuseppe Martelli tonight was found innocent of plotting to spy for the Russians. MANY ITJ The action followed ap proval of the Democratic administration's entire $147 million package for accelerating bank, corporation and insurance company taxes, and ending installment payments on both personal income and bank-corporation franchise taxes. Withholding, under Brown plan, would not have started until Jan. 1, 1965 and so its de- Jeat had no effect on the addi tional money sought by the governor for 1963-64 state op erations. The other bills now go to the Senate Finance Committee for review before moving to the Senate floor.

I GIBSON VOTES NO The only roll call backed the bank and corporation measure, 6 to 4, with Democrats support ing it and Sen. Luther Gibson, D-Vallejo, joining three Demo crats in opposition. Sen. Virgil O'Sullivan, D-Wil- liams, presented the bills as an attempt to get tax payments on a current basis to help pay for current state costs. But opponents bitterly charged that it was revenue.

They demanded that the admin istration face up to -the issue and advocate new taxes, if the state needs more money Grimsky described Brown's program as "a pure political maneuver9 td make the Demo crats look good in the 1964 elec tion year. The bills, he said, "don't fool me and I hope they don't fool the people." FRIEND IN WASHINGTON The committee chairman said Brown may not be running next year but "he 'has a friend in Washington he's polishing up to." He also challenged the legal ity of the administration's contention that the bank, corpora- uon ana insurance company measures, as revised from the recent general session; required only a majority instead of two- thirds vote by the legislature. "But I can sniff the wind, the way it is blowing," he said. "The president of the Senate Demo cratic? Lt. Gov.

Glenn M. Ander son will probably be ruling that it takes only 21 votes despite the constitution." The bank andi corporation measure produce $82.7 nullum, in 1963-64, entirely by eliminating the present privilege of paying the tax in two in Beginning 1965, banks apd corporations would make prepayments of a portion or their tax. The Senate committee earlier approved the two other major bills in the governor series.

Braden, president of the State Board of Rafferty said Braden is "go ing tip and down the state, mak ing personal attacks on me, but I will not reciprocate." This was in response to speech by Braden Saturday night at an American Civil Liberties Union meeting at the Marin County estate of Roger Kent, Northern California Democratic chairman. 3 ISSUES Braden charged Rafferty has made false statements about board policies and members and declared the superintendent "lacks good faith in dealing with the Board of Education." He attacked Rafferty on three major issues. Braden charged Rafferty falsely claimed the board opposed removal of the Dictionary of American Slang from school library, shelves.

Rafferty said the book is 'pure filth and ob scenity." 'The board did not adopt the book, never purchased a copy, never placed it in any library," Braden said.

Two men cutting out redwood snags suf fered cuts and another man had a crushed finger but did not re quire hospitalization.

BREAKS OUT SATURDAY The blaze has been dubbed the McGarvey Creek fire because it is centered in the creek's drainage area. The. -fire broke out Saturday morning in the extreme southwest corner of Del Norte Coun ty, 3 miles south of the town of Klamath. It was believed to have started from sparks caused by blasting from a Highway 101 construction project. It is burning over private log ging property of small trees and timber debris left from logging operations.

Standing dead trees have added fuel to the already dangerous blaze. Edward Martin, information officer for the State Division of Forestry in Klamath, said even though-fire-breaks-wereTert around the big fire, it is far from being under control. WIND COMES UP. The wind came up' this morn ing and Is expected to continue throughout the One of the advantages of the breezes is that it might blow away fog which has prevented borate-carrying planes from joining the fight against the flames.

HOPES RAISED But Khrushchev's surprise move in heading the Soviet dele gation at the opening of the negotiations raised Western hopes that some form of agreement perhaps an accord for a limited test ban might emerge from the crucial conference. Khrushchev, in opening the three-power conference this after noon, enthusiastically pumped the hands of presidential envoy Harri man and Lord Hailsham and.

remarked; do we begin? Perhaps we should begin by sign ing an agreement first. In a bantering aside, the Soviet leader turned to Harriman and said: "You did right when you kicked the British out of Amer- ica." Khrushchev then turned to the British chief negotiator and said: "They acted with wisdom, they kicked you out." Hailsham 's mumbled reply was not heard distinctly. WARM GREETING The Soviet leader had especial ly warm and personal greetings for Harriman, U. S. undersecretary of state who had dealt face-to-face with Josef Stalin while ambassador to Moscow during World War H.

Khrushchev, 69, vigorously shak ing the 71-year-old Harriman hand exclaimed; "You are absolutely blooming, what are you doing? Are you counting the years backwards?" I began doing that a long time ago," answered Khrushchev with a broad grin. In the light-hearted exchange before the doors were closed on the first session of the historic conference, Khrushchev told Harriman: "I am surrounded by the imperialists." KREMLIN ROOM Hie three-power negotiations aimed at reaching agreement on at least a pgrfi1 nnrlpar tpst haji opened in one of the large Kremlin conference rooms adjoining Khrushchev's office.
