Threatened Wallace Hints Broadly as He Lashes Platform Panel on Equality ATLANTIC CITY NJ (AP) Segregationist Gov George Wallace of Alabama demanded of Democratic platform writers Friday a plank calling for outright repeal of the Civil Rights act and hinted at a posri-ble new third party movement In sharp language Wallace warned of an uprising against the party's prevailing leadership unless it reverses- an alien philosophy of government w'hich the American people can-no! long embrace an unsound and dangerous philosophy He implied he will take leadership in a third-party movement immediately after the presidential election if as he put it the Democratic and Republican parties me-too each other through the presidential campaign of this year In such an event the Alabama governors statement said: We will begin immediately after Nov 3 to start a movement to bring about representative government We will use public opinion and we will use the ballot box We are going to remove some people from office and we are going to represent people who want to save this country Wallace who entered presidential primaries in Wisconsin Indiana and Maryland and showed surprising strength released his own delegates after the Republican party had nominated Arizona Sgif Barry Gold-water He recalled Reconstruction days in his appearance at the final session of the 1 a t-form Committee preceding next weeks Democratic National Convention He said Southerners once before have thrown the yoke of oppression from their backs Their action is instructive to this party at this time In return for a promise of removal of federal troops in 1876 he recalled three Southern states gave their electoral votes to Republican Rutherford Hayes w'ho had run second' to Democrat Samuel Tilden Hayes won the troops were removed and Reconstruction ended Wallace said The people rose up and sternly changed (he direction of Reiterates Position on Giving Tactical Nuclear Weapons to Chief Backs Social Security WASHINGTON (AP) Sen Barry Goldwater of Arizona underscored Friday his call for more ready access to small tactical nuclear weapons for the supreme commander of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization And the Republican presidential nominee took the Senate floor to endorse the Social Security system and announce he will support a five per cent increase benefits Goldwater reiterated his opposition to the Johnson plan for health care for the elderly under Social Security In a fast paced day on Capitol Hill and at Republican headquarters Goldwater also: Disavowed any desire to make a campaign issue of accounting methods that may have been used arriving at published estimates of President Johnson's finances and those of the Johnson family Said he is investigating reports of trouble in the Minute-man missile program and termed the situation rather serious Scanned his presidential elec-' tion prospects in the Southern states and said they are best Florida Louisiana Mississippi and Alabama Georgia will be tough he said Accused the Soviet Union of Nazi-style repression of Jews and the Johnson administration of deep amnesia in its dealings with the Russians Goldwater had breakfast with House Republicans studying NATO unity went to the Senate to declare his support of the Social Security increase and held a pair of impromptu news conferences Amid a swirl of political controversy over the auditing methods used in calculating President Johnsons wealth Goldwater aid: I dont want to make this a campaign issue Later Goldwaters press secretary Paul Wagner told newsmen it would be fair to say" Goldwater was ruling out as an issue the whole subject of personal finances On Capitol Hill Goldwater met privately with nine House Republicans working as a GOP task force on NATO unity Rep Albert Quie of Minnesota the chairman said they had agreed that: The supreme NATO commander should have more ready access to smaller tactical nuclear weapons Goldwater has made suggestion before Quie quoted him as having said the nuclear force involved would be mortar-sized weapons (with) no more powen than many of our conventional weapons only in a smaller package The Minnesota congressman said the nominee and the representatives also agreed the 'West the CONVENTION HALL Atlantic City NJ (AP) Three busloads of Mississippians rolleckonto the Democratic convention scene Friday and heralded the possibility of another roaring party-shattering civil rights row and a throwback to 1948 The convention opens Monday to pick President Johnson for president and the man he wants for a running mate This will be routine But Democrats usually stir up fight about something frequently civil rights This time it is simmering two spots in the Platform Committee and the Credentials Committee Party leaders are hunting for a way to keep it from boiling over onto the convention floor and winding up with a bolt by Southerners such as they staged 16 years ago in Philadelphia Both Alabama and Mississippi are involved now as they were then The main menace to Democratic harmony centers in the determination of delegates of the Democratic Freedom party of Mississippi to keep the regular Mississippi delegation from being seated at the cpnvention The Freedom Democrats are largely Negro the regulars are all white It was the former who came by bus Friday prepared to take the battle to the convention floor But the first significant rounds will be fought in the Credentials Committee at its first meeting Saturday The Freedom Democrats contend they were barred methodically from taking part in the choice of the regular -i 1C delegates They also contend rjl DLLS II the latter have spurned the national ticket in the past the last time in 1960 and may again this year Party officials and the White House want to snuff out a floor fight before it starts since a vie- tory for the Mississippi regulars might hurt the ticket among Negro voters in the North while the seating of the challengers might swing white votes to GOP nominee Barry Goldwater in the South Johnson has been weighing three possibilities: seating Mississippi delegation Democratic
