Editorial comment was scarce and reluctant compared to the flood of comment mostly unfavorable that poured out when Goldwater won the California primary and appeared headed for the nomination What European comment there was welcomed Scranton's entry as giving the liberal Republicans a rallying point into the race a battle to the death at the San Francisco convention between rightist forces and the liberal sector of the party" The newspaper in a special bn tide from its Washington correspondent added action is important because America must live in-the world of today not the world of yesterday Goldwater lacks essential II Popolo newspaper of Premier Aldo Moro's Christian Democratic party said entry boosted Republican party prestige This paper also said Scranton apparently made his

provision of a new constitution which says Duvalier has been asked to retain power for life in agreement with the will of all Haitians Papa election was practically automatic There was no opposition Ail the ballots were marked in answer to the query whether the voter wanted Duvalier to remain in office permanently The voting was free of such complications as registration and ballot marking

nomination would be a disaster for the Republican party" believe in being coy not being reluctant about the candidacy 1 don't think that the decision will be made at the convention in favor of my candidacy" he said Nixon said if Goldwater is nominated Goldwater view on issues will be the mainstream of the Republican party for 1964" He added however that he understood Goldwater has or changed

By RALPH DIGHTON SUNNYVALE Calif (AP)-An educated glimpse of life on the moon in the 1970s shows explorers going from base to base in rocket cars hauling freight with tractors that look like refugees from a gear box and living ui clusters of oversize tin cans The prediction comes from Lockheed Missiles and Space Co scientists who have spent three years figuring out how to cram the tools needed for lunar existence into the nose of rockets that are yet to be designed Ray Schneyer head of the study said in an interview current ideas are subject to change when Apollo astronauts bring areas Tentative designs call for vehicles capable of carring two to four men on 600-mile roundtrips with enough food and oxygen to last 200 hours 2 Surface vehicles with 16-foot-diameter wheels that

despite recent overtures from the Communist bloc nations will remain the mainstay of help for development plans for a long time' Saeed Hassan deputy chairman of the State Planning Commission said Hassan announced that Pakistan will receive $450 million in financing from Western nations including $220 million from the Unitea for its 1964-65 development program He said the World Bank was expected to contribute Romania Frees Prisoners Many The Observer's report Washington correspondent frey Hodgson said: has known too much about Scranton's politics because he is man who nas come a long way five years mainly by waiting until he was asked He has played hard to get "Many observers are naturally skeptical of Scranton the reluctant slave of duty They think he has ambition as well as a noblesse oblige and put his hesitations down to his shrewd sense that 1968 will be a better year for a Republican candidate for the presidency But if he has always been stow into the ring he has been aggressive enough once he is in it" In the London Sunday Times correspondent Henry Brandon wrote: what finally did stir Scranton up was Sen vote against closing off the filibuster on civil rights in the Senate When Scranton launched his candidacy from Baltimore it was an impressive and courageous performance but also a lonely one key to his success will be the extent to which other moderate Republicans rally behind him especially former President Eisenhower Only if Eisenhower helps Scranton at the top and Scranton himself can start a movement down at the grass-roots level weakening Goldwater support among debates at the Republican conven-on next month will he have a chance to create a stalemate by preventing Goldwater from winning on tne first or second ballot11 Madrid's
