In Worthington, a small Colunv bus suburb that usually votes 80 per -cent Republican, every home was visited three Saturdays ago in a massive effort by the local Democratic club. The survey showed the town was split 30 per cent for Goldwater, 30 per cent for President Johnson and the rest declaring themselves undecided. In Cleveland and Akron, News paper polls give Mr. Johnson leads ranging from 2 to 1 and up. GOP regulars point out that at this stage in 1960, President Kennedy was ahead In Ohio, perhaps not with the bulge that Mr.

John son has, and yet Republicans took the State. Much of the burden of the Gold-water campaign is placed on his volunteers, many of whom are political amateurs but make up for it with enthusiasm.

Democrats are badly in need of funds. They have a $250,000 radio and television State-wide budget for the national ticket.

On top of that, they have a total of $300,000 for the rest of the campaign which they say is "peanuts" compared to the GOP total. The cool attitude of Gov. James A. Rhodes toward Goldwater has caused some irritations in GOP circles. Unity does not seem to be a serious problem here, and all GOP candidates -are backincr Goldwater.

If Governor Rhodes is not killing himself to get Goldwater elected, the biggest Democratic vote getter in the State, Senator Lausche, is doing even less. He turned down an invitation to attend last night's fund-raising dinner for President Johnson. In fact, Lausche has not litfed a finger in the election although his wife did accompany Mrs. Johnson here. LEARN TO RUN WORLD OR DIE, MANKINDTOLD 'Nowhere Else To Go Stevenson Tells Cornell Crowd Ithaca, N.Y., Oct.

9 Adlai E. Stevenson, United Slates Ambassador to tJie United Nations, raid tonight that unless all the people of the world learn to "do a better job of running it ve shall ail perish together." In the nuclear ace, "there is no where else to go," he said. "At least not yet." In a speech at Cornell University's centennial convocation, Stevenson said scientific and technological advances have changed the world into "a tiny space ship upon which a company of humans are traveling hazardously together through infinity." No Choice Seen "In less than a man's lifetime ve have been pitched from isolation to a world so small that a push button can blow it up. We have been drawn from a slate of virtually no concern with our neighbors to one of perpetual, daily, hourly responsibility. "Some of today's political oratory sounds as though we have a choice: that we could rattle our rockets and frighten the bad guys into good behavior.

"We are like everyhody else-exposed to the same risks of death and destruction. "We can't patronize. We can't discriminate. And we can't drop out." Education Credited Stevenson cited what he called the steadiness with which the community as a whole "has confronted the revolutions of the Twentieth Century." He said the chief reason for this was the increasing number "of young people who (or several have had access to higher education." The desire for truth, he said, is "a strong bulwark against emotionalism and national arrogance, against hysteria and all neurotic retreats from reality." About 6,500 persons, including 150 representatives of universities throughout the world, attended the day-long program. Nashville Mm liny Rifle At Wrong Time Nashville, Oct.

0 IH -Two men picked an unfortunate day to buy a hunting rifle and wound up in jail for several hours today. They were questioned by security conscious officers charged with guarding President Johnson. The two, identified as Arthur K. Brown and Grover Burt, both 39 and Nashviiie residents, were picked up by a State trooper on a downtown street corner five minutes before the President's motorcade passed that way. One of them had a rifle wrapped in hrnwn paper.

Officers let them go after the men explained that they wanted to buv a shotgun, but it cost too much and set I led for a $6.50 rifle to be used for hunting. The weapon was not loaded. The arrests touched off a security search of a church tower, also in the downtown area which also proved unnecessary. Javils Explains Pica For Senator Kennedy New York, Oct. 9 i.T! Senator Javits N.V.) said today those kind words he spoke in Boston yesterday for Senator Kennedy were best wishes for health not a political indorsement.

The New Yorker said he was rot too familiar with Massachusetts politics and had forgotten that Kennedy was running for reelection this fall. Referring to Kennedy, confined to a Boston hospital with a broken back suffered in a private plane crash last June, Javits said in Eostfln: "I Tiope and pray he will soon be htalthy and strong and that he will be on his feet again in January to take his place in the Senate." The way for Kennedy to be eligible for the nrt session of the Senate in January would be to defeat Howard Witmore, his Republican opponent, on November 3. HUTZLER'S mole t.m mw en A ciuier a nvio-w or evtn a ou-ii- division would probably swamp the candidacy of Robert Taft, for the United States Senate. He is now considered running well ahead of Senator Young, the Dem ocratic incumbent. A C5 per cent Johnson victaiy' should the total vote meet the prediction of Ted Brown, the Re publican Secretary of State would mean a margin of approximately 1,267,000.

The undecided could push the figure higher.

Rowan To Speak Austin, Texas, Oct. 9 W-Carl T.

Rowan, United States Information Agency director, will be a principal speaker at the National Association of Educational Broadcasters October 25-28, University of Texas officials said today. Easlfo'ml oftn tonhht 'til 9:0 lilt IP-DRY arxel keeps these pleats eyeraeat: SITTDRESS TREAT! and 33 to 44 Washington, Oct. 9 W-A De fense Department spokesman said today that the Air Force Cannot find any evidence that Senator' Goldwatcr has recommended promotion in the Air Force Reserve for Gov. William Scranton beyond a routine officer effectiveness report. Arthur Sylvester, Assistant Sec retary of Defense, said a thor ough search has been made" of all possible places in the Air Force where such correspondenca might exist.

However, Seranton's file does show, Sylvester said, that Goldwater, as Scranton'j commander, had submitted an of ficer effectiveness report saying Scranton was qualified for promotion. But in the normal course of defense affairs, such a report would not constitute a recom mendation for promotion, an Air Force spokesman said. He said such a recommendation normally would involve a separate action. Commanding Officer Campaigning in Warminster, a 1 r-'f. ion commanding ouiccr in me Air Force Reserve, he had put in for a promotion for him a year ago.

Goldwater, a major general, said he and Robert S. McNamara, Secretary of Defense were "not getting along" and that this may be delaying Seranton's rise in rank from major to lieutenant colonel. Scranton will not become eligible for consideration by a promotion board until next June at the earliest, Sylvester said. Scranton has been a major since June 7, 1961. Sylvester said any promotion recommendation would have to go through Air Force channels.

He said the headquarters command at Boiling Air Force Base provided information that Seranton's selection folder contains only one 'officer effectiveness report." This, Sylvester said, was submitted by Goldwater for the period October, 1961-September, 1962 and states that Scranton was well qualified for promotion. 1 1 I i 7 vT i MILLER QUESTIONS ABILITY OF RUSK Also Levels 'Soft-On-Crime' Charge Against Democrats Kvanston, Oct. 9 'Representative Miller tonight sharply attacked the Secretary of State Dean Rusk, questioning his competence and declaring that the nation could be in "grave danger" if he continued in the Cabinet post. During campaign appearances in Illinois and Indiana, Miller also leveled a "soft-on-crime" charge against the Johnson Ad-' ministration, but he did not pin his accusation directly on the President. Miller laced into Kusk in a statement handed to reporters as ho arrived in this city adjoining Chicago to address a campaign rally.

Cancels Appearance He came to Evanston from Vin-cennes, where several thousand persons gathered along the streets to greet him as he rode in a parade. Miller was forced to cancel an appearance before GOP campaign workers in Evanston, due to what an aide said appeared to be the beginnings of a cold. He did appear, however, at the later campaign rally. Miller said that Rusk had vio lated a "tradition of keeping the State Department out of politics when he held a news conference yesterday and acted as "one of the President's spokesmen in this campaign." Rusk's remarks about South Vietnam and Cuba during the conference, Miller said, "should make us question the competance of the hands now holding the reins of diplomacy in Washington." "Most Damning Admission" Miller quoted Rusk as saying that the Chinese Communists and North Vietnamese are "writing the scenario for the future in South Vietnam. This, Miller said, "is perhaps the most damning admission ever made that there is a total lack of direction in the foreign policy of the United Slates." Miller also hit Rusk for implying, Miller said, that the Eisenhower Administration was responsible for the intrusion of communism into Cuba and that it was more difficult to correct the situation than it would have been to prevent it.

"Even for such a powerful country as ours," Miller said, "four more years of Mr. Rusk could be an incredible strain and perhaps a grave danger. Earlier, Miller had assailed "so-called liberals" in the John son Administration who, he said. "center more sentiment and con cern on the criminal than the victim." "HerHage Of Violence" If "this breed" is allowed to continue providing moral leadership for the country, he said, they will leave the nation's children a "heritage of violence and fear." Miller gave special emphasis to the law-enforcement theme a favorite of Senator Goldwater, the GOP Presidential nominee. In Quincy, Miller issued a statement charging the Johnson Administration with failing to provide the kind of leadership that encourages respect for the law.

He said liberal thinkers and "bleeding hearts" in the Johnson Administration are "more worried about the individual lawbreaker than the society he abuses." As a result. Miller continued, the nation's crime rate is rising swiftly and public officers have been attacked in the streets "by-ruthless mobs who have total disdain for law and order." Miller also reported that Charles H. Percy. GOP candidate for governor of Illinois, telephoned him at Quincv and told him the Gold- water-Miller ticket chances of carrying the State appear excel lent. Mongolian! To Visit Poland Warsaw, Oct.

9 A top level delegation from Pro-Soviet Mongolia, led by party boss Prime Minister Yumzahigm Tsedenha'. will visit Folsnd this mon'h. the Polish press agency FAP reports. in Texas denounced Federal encroachment on state rights, while in Washington he called for more power in the White House. In Washington, Goldwater continued.

Johnson denouneel depletion allowances, while in Texas, an oil state, he extolled their virtues. Two Sides Charged The Senator charged Mr. Johnson also took both sides of the medicare and school integration isucs, depending upon where he was speahir.g. He blamed "modern liberalism" for the increase in the crime rate, juvenile delinquency, di- vorce, illegitimacy, mental sick-' ness, school dropouts, drug acidic-! i tion, pornography, riots and hood- lumism. "The terrifying increase in the deterioration of the home, the family and the community, of law and order, of good morals and good manners, is the result of 30 years of an unhealthy social climate," he contended.

Beliefs Discussed "I refer to the philosophy of modern liberalism, the dominant philosophy of the opposition party he explained. After detailing what he considers to be the beliefs of the "modern liberal," he asserted: in snort, tney are a curious crew, dominantly imbedded in the opposition party, whose basic doc trine is that human beings are never really guilty of crime and evil, but rather that society alone must bear the blame." the henator contended that no government ever made a people great, and he continued: "But then, there's political cam paigning the science of buying votes. Promise the people, use the people. Deceive the people. "It's all fair game, just as long as you get elected." The GOP candidate was just as sharply critical of the President in discussing his foreign policies as he was on domestic matters.

He declared: "The great power of your Presi dent, indeed his chief responsi bility, is direction of foreign policy Black Brown Botile Green Sizes 14' to 28' Sy A'llh' film ml i 4Hlllltf till 11 a li to By PH (Continued mobilize every resource of our power. And then we must make it absolutely dear credible' to our enemies, and inspiring to our alliesthat we are ready and willing to apply our resources, in forms and circumstances of our own choosing, to acnieve the goals all free men seek. "Our major objective must be to reduce Communist power to a level from which it cannot threaten our security or the peace of the world." Counting On Volunteer Goldwaler flew to California from his Phoenix home this morning for a full day of campaigning for the Golden State's coveted bloc of 40 electoral college votes. This Slate provided the impetus, chiefly! from votes in the southern pari of the Slate, that gave Goldwatcr the Republican nomination. And the conservative candidate, though running behind in polls published here, is counting on zealous volunteer workers to cap ture the State on November 3.

Without California, his hopes of upsetting President Johnson would be meager. Before an attentive but undemonstrative crowd massed in front of the Hughes Aircraft Company Plant at Culver City, Goldwaler combined his criticism of the Johnson foreign policy with another slashing on Robert S. Mc-Namara, Secretary of Defense. If the Democrats win the election, be warned an audience including many aircraft workers, there will be a "gigantic" cut in military spending so the Administration can divert spending elsewhere. Would Be Better Off" Goldwatcr said his emphasis, if elected, would he the reverse.

"The President has the responsibility to provide adequate defenses and direct foreign policy," he said. "If he would spend more time on this and less time meddling in your daily lives this country would be better off." Goldwatcr did not spell out the steps he would take to implement a hard-line foreign policy. Goldwatcr complained that in Washington today there are too many people who try to shield their eyes from the ugliness in the world by indulging in the be lief the Communists are mellowing. The "dreamers" in Washington, he went on, also take comfort in the struggle between Russia and Red China, failing to realize that no matter which country wins the United States will continue to be faced by a Communist enemy. Would Rlnckarie Cuba He did mention, however, that an economic blockade of Cuba and recognition of a Cuban Government in exile would be steps he would take against Fidel Castro's Government.

And he said he would not sell wheat to Russia unless the Soviet rulers would agree to demolish the Berlin Wall, remove their forces from Cuba or take some other step to meet American demands. After his two speeches in the Los Angeles area, Goldwatcr attended a reception attended by-several dozen cinema and television stars. Among the top-minded stars whether this violates lottery laws. The county party said, however, that one of its attorneys had researched the matter and found that there was no violation involved. An accompanying letter says all tickets will be considered regardless of whether they are accompanied by money.

Mrs. Durante On Visit Mrs. Jimmy Durante also was on the guest list.

Several weeks ago her husband attended a Hollywood reception for President Johnson. Tonight the Senator was scheduled to speak here against the picturesque background of San Francisco Bay. George Murphy, the veteran screen star who is Republican candidate for the Senate seat nuw held by Pierre Salinger, came to the private reception but was not seen in public with Goldwater during the entire day of campaigning. Moreover, photographers were not allowed in the reception to photograph Goldwater and Murphy together. California political observers feel Murphy is running much stronger than the national GOP ticket and reportedly is drawing close enough to Salinger to make the Senate contest a close one.

To Sail To Pier After boarding a 55-foot yacht owned by Dan London, manager of the St. Francis Hotel and a Republican supporter, the Senator and Mrs. Goldwater were to sail to a pier at famous Fisherman's Wharf lo address a crowd gathered for a Columbus Day observance. Before his waterfront appearance, the GOP nominee was picketed in front of the St. Francis Hotel by civil rights demonstrators, one of whom carried a sign saying: "in your heart you known he's nuts." A pro-Goldwater group set up a rivel cheering section.

Tomorrow Goldwater will make his second campaign foray into the Pacific Northwest, with speeches in Spokane, and Portland, Ore. then will make his first and probably his only appearance in Salt Lake City before flying to Thoenix for a two-day rest. GOP Hit Democrats On Employee List Use Washington, Oct. 9, Dean Burch, Republican national chair man, asked the Civil Service Com mission today to halt what he called the "highly unethical" use of official mailing lists by the Democratic National Committee to seek campaign contributions Burch said government mailing lists were used to send a letter signed by John M. Bailey, Demo cratic chairman, to 'all upper grade civil service people regard less of party affiliation." He said in a statement con tributions were requested, and a blank bank draft was enclosed for the purpose.

"Since when were government rosters considered available for use to raise money in a political campaign?" he asked. Foreelosures Seen Higher With FHA, VA Washington, Oct. if Foreclosures are running higher than ever on homes with mortgages backed by the FHA and Veterans Administration, but spokesmen for both agencies say they are not alarmed the rate has leveled off. They describe the situation as an adjustment to normalcy with supply of housing more nearly meeting demand than right after World War II when realtors weie eagerly looking for houses to sell.
