At Hampton Beach and Sea side several thousand sweat shirt wearing, beer drinking white teen-agers rioted. Troops were called out. One youth had his face torn with birdshot, an eye was lost. Property and busi ness losses were estimated at about $500,000. The jails were filled up.

Eight policemen were injured. Fire hoses, police dogs, billy clubs were used to stop the "wild orgy." There was some looting. Windows were smashed. Youths hurled beer cans filled with sand. When they nit a man he went down.

Goldwater dropped the talk on reapportionment in suburban Belvedere Shopping Center, however, and concentrated on "scandal" in the Johnson administration and the growth of federal power, particularly in the courts. CHEERED BY TURNOUTS Goldwater, in his first day of campaigning in the South, said he was greatly cheered by the turnouts in Atlanta. The fact there were enthusiastic turnouts meant the argument over exact sizes was somewhat academic. Some Atlanta policemen said there was about the same size crowd in Hurt Park that Richard Nixon had drawn four years ago.

Other witnesses said there were fewer. Police estimated there were 30,000 at Belvedere. Other crowd observers placed the figure at around 20,000. In both places, whatever the size, there was enough applause and enthusiasm to buoy Barry. AIMS OF CAMPAIGN In quick succession, Goldwater stressed the main points of his campaign: The Supreme Court and the President have been "engaged in legislative work and the Legislature (Congress) is being bypassed, which means you people are being bypassed." "Abuse of that old tonic, I'll call it of states rights has been received across the country," but he would restore states rights if elected on Nov.

But the senseless fury of the schoolboys on the beaches and in the resort towns was that of one last fling before going back to school- "Hey, Look Me Over" and "Sweet Georgia Brown." Bright new convertibles whipped him and his wife, Peggy, and their aides and Republican hosts through town while motorcycle escorts ran interference and shorts-clad suburban housewives and flag-waving schoolchildren cept the west leg to Ashby Street, which is expected to be opened in mid-October, Sanders said. The formal dedication ceremony, with Atlanta and Fulton County jointly participating, will be held Oct. 15.

Because of the complexity of the connector's huge Capitol Avenue-Memorial Drive interchange, the highway department has prepared instructions which it hopes will be of use to expressway motorists. As a general rule, the department said, motorists who are driving straight through the interchange should stay in the center lanes, leaving the right lane for right exit turns, the left lane for left turns. There are, however, exceptions to the rule. The most striking of these exceptions is encountered by anyone approaching on the East expressway (I-20) and desiring to go north. In this case, a right turn is Russell Likes Them Both But His Vote Is Johnson's By TED LIPPMAN Constitution Wuhington Bureau WASHINGTON Lyndon B.

He said as long ago as December, 1961, that Barry M. Goldwater could swing the South's 1964 presidential votes under whichever banner the Arizona senator ran.

Thursmond said then that the Southern people "believe in what Sen. Goldwater has advocated and is advocating." He also said his own views were closer to Goldwater's than they were to the late President John F. Kennedy.

Georgia's five Republican congressional candidates and one Democrat were licking their political chops Tuesday afternoon in the back draft of Sen. Barry Goldwater's whirlwind visit to Atlanta. The five Republicans, the most to oppose Democrats in Georgia congressional races this century, feel their party's national presidential candidate gave them a big boost for the November general election.

Roscoe Pickett, Georgia's GOP national committeeman, said he was "elated, highly elated" over the reception received by Goldwater at three stops in Atlanta. Pickett said he thinks the trip will thrust Goldwater's popularity forward among the voters. L. J.
