Barry Looking Ahead To November Victory Birch Society Condemned by Gov. Scranton SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) Pennsylvania Gov. William W. Scranton urged the Republican platform committee today to condemn the John Birch Society as a leading example of "weird" extremist groups in the United States. Scranton, in a hard-hitting statement aimed directly at Sen.

Barry Goldwater's bid for the GOP presidential nomination, declared that he cannot see why the 100-member policy making group would hesitate for one second to denounce the Birch group. He also asked the committee to endorse the new civil rights law as another step, towards America's promise to the world, implicit in our Constitution, of equal rights and opportunities for all." Scranton said that if the Republicans get the platform they deserve, it will contain views contrary to Goldwater's beliefs. Without naming the Arizona senator, Scranton said: "In effect, your task is to decide what is the true conscience of a conservative. "If you choose incorrectly, not only will our platform bring defeat to the Republican party -a result which as partisans we can all deplore-but more importantly you will destroy the credibility of the conservative philosophy at the very time America most desperately needs that it be I hope with you the day has not come when we are little else than the guardians of reaction." Scranton challenged Goldwater's views on the Birch Society, Social Security, medical care, federal housing programs, poverty, farm policy and civil rights. On extremism, Scranton said the committee must choose between two points of view.

One view holds that the John Birch Society has impressive, intelligent people in it who are needed in politics, he said. This was a reference to a 1961 statement by Goldwater who has refused to disavow the group although he has criticized some of its leaders. "The other point of view, with which I agree, says that the radical, extremist groups are alien to our shores. I can find in them no saving grace," Scranton said. "Our platform should say so.

Frankly, I cannot for one second conceive why you would hesitate to specifically name the John Birch Society as a prime example of this weird presence in On civil rights, Scranton's statement appeared to back off from his earlier demand that the GOP platform endorse the constitutionality of the new rights law which Goldwater opposed on grounds that two of its major provisions were unconstitutional. Again attacking Goldwater indirectly, Scranton said a small minority of Republicans in Congress opposed the legislation. Hi-Lo Weather NEW YORK (UPI)-The highest temperature reported today to the U.S. Weather Bureau, excluding Alaska and Hawaii, was 108 at Mineral Wells, Tex. The lowest reported this morning was 30 at Redmond, Ore.

Manila Is Shaken By an Earthquake MANILA (UPI)-A moderately strong earthquake rocked buildings in downtown Manila for about 30 seconds at 1:55 p.m. today but apparently caused no injuries or serious damage. The epicenter was located 120 miles northwest of Manila in Lingayen Gulf. Scranton Fight Is Faltering; Arizona Senator Is Confident SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) Gov. William W.

Scranton today carried his faltering fight against Barry Goldwater to the GOP platform arena. But the front-running Arizona senator, confident he will be nominated, was looking ahead to November when he said he will beat President Johnson. "I also know that this is going to be a Republican year all across the country from state house to court house and from Congress to the White House," Goldwater declared. He made the forecast in a statement is sued by his headquarters while the senator was flying here from Washington. Goldwater thus moved to counter Scranton charges of defeatism on the part of the senator.

But the Pennsylvania governor reopened his anti-Goldwater assault on another front, appealing to platform writers to condemn the John Birch Society as a leading example of "weird" extremist groups in this country. "In effect, your task is to decide what is the true conscience of a conservative," Scranton said in testimony prepared for the platform committee, most of whose members are considered Goldwater supporters. Scranton did not name Goldwater in this connection but the senator is author of a book entitled "Conscience of a Conservative." The senator also has drawn some support from members of the John Birch Society and Scranton is trying to use this against him. Goldwater meanwhile picked up significant new strength in his drive toward the nomination and for the second consecutive day a top aide predicted a first-ballot victory Wednesday. Richard Kleindienst, co-director of field operations for Goldwater, called newsmen's attention to Gov.

James A. Rhodes' announcement that he is "seriously considering" release of 58 Ohio delegates pledged to him as a favorite son candidate. This could increase Goldwater's first ballot total by 35 to 40 Ohio votes. "I think we're optimistic that at the end of the first ballot Sen. Goldwater will be the nominee of the Republican party," Kleindienst told reporters.

Republican National Treasurer Richard B. Sellers--GOP national committeeman from New Jersey declared his support of Goldwater. HMC Tour Over Top The Homestake tour set a new record for June with a total of 11,687 persons visiting the surface workings of the mining company last month. Howard Meador, tour manager for the Lead Civic Association, said the new record compared with 10,799 last year in June and 9,736 for the same month in 1962. Truax said Sellers spoke only for himself and there is "no broad base of support for Goldwater" among New Jersey delegates.

"If this is an example of the Goldwater claims," Truax said, "they do not have the votes to nominate him." In going before the platform committee to keep alive his hopes for the nomination, Scranton utilized the best forum he can expect to get to impress delegates before the convention opens in the Cow Palace next Monday.

(Seaton Photo.) Sure Senators Need a Raise! Ya' Can't Wrestle for Peanuts WASHINGTON (UPI)-Sens. Strom Thurmond, and Ralph Yarborough, wrestled each other to the floor today outside a Senate hearing room, What began as a playful tugging match turned somewhat WASHINGTON (UPI) The Senate Commerce Committee today approved 16-1, the nomination of Leroy Collins to be director of the National Community Relations Service under the new civil rights law. The lone vote against the former Florida governor's appointment was cast by Sen. Strom Thurmond, who had boycotted two previous meetings to prevent a quorum from being present. more serious as the two grappled to the marble floor of the new Senate office building.

Yarborough was playfully trying to pull Thurmond toward a Senate Commerce Committee hearing room where the committee was prepared to approve the nomination of Leroy Collins as head of the newly created Civil Rights Law Mediation Agency. Thurmond had boycotted two previous sessions, thus postponing the approval of Collins for lack of a quorum, and resisted Yarborough. Thurmond was standing outside the room when Yarborough, a committee member like Thurmond, strolled up. "Come on in, Strom," said Yarborough, and shook Thurmond's hand. At the same time, he playfully pulled Thur- Civil Rights Law Is Meeting Tough Resistance in South United Press International A 30-man police force kept a crowd of angry whites away from eight Negroes leaving a newly integrated movie house at Tuscaloosa, Wednesday night.

The Negroes were whisked away in taxicabs as the whites, estimated at 200, yelled threats and booed. Five restaurants earlier refused services to Negroes in Tuscaloosa. Anti integration pickets paraded outside the tablishments. At Columbia, a former sheriff and segregationist candidate for Congress, said Wednesday night a Negro drove up beside his car and shot him in the arm. The candidate, Flo Fleming, was reported in "satisfactory" condition at Maury County Hospital, Fleming said that if electCongress he would do everything possible to "have the civil rights bill amended out of existence." In Washington, Donion W.

Edward, said Wednesday he believed the explosion that ripped the front end of a civil rights house in McComb, was meant for him. Edwards said he slept in the house at McComb Monday night and left McComb Tuesday afternoon. He said the bombers apparently did not know he was gone. FBI agents joined local authorities in investigating the explosion that slightly hurt two of the 10 civil rights workers who mond toward the hearing room. Thurmond reacted by pulling Yarborough away from the door.

"I'll make an agreement with you, Ralph," Thurmond said. "If I can keep you out, you won't go in, and if you can drag me in, I'll stay there." The two men, with their jackets off, grappled for about 10 minutes. Finally, Commerce Committee Chairman Sen. Warren Magnuson, broke it up. For most of the time, Thurmond had Yarborough pinned to the floor.

The South Carolina senator appeared in better condition than his Texas counterpart. Both are 61. Several reporters and Senate staff workers viewed the tussle. Word was passed into the committee room and Magnuson came out to break it up. At first, after Thurmond challenged him to a match to see could hold the other, Yarborough took the whole thing as a joke and shrugged off the challenge.

But Thurmond pressed the issue and Yarborough became more serious. They then took off their jackets. Thurmond forced Yarborough to the floor and held him there several minutes. He let Yarborough up and the two scuffled some more, shoulder to shoulder. Thurmond then threw Yarborough to the floor again, the Texas senator's head narrowly missing the hard marble surface.

Yarborough remained pinned to the floor for five minutes, occasionally struggling to try to free himself. Thurmond said repeatedly, "Tell me to release you, Ralph, and I will." Yarborough refused to answer grinned occasionally. An aide to Thurmond quietly tried to break up the encounter but Thurmond refused to respond to the aide's warnings that the affair would be publicized. Sen. Frank Lausche, D-Ohio, was a late arrival at the session.

He seemed amazed at the goings on and seriously told both men that they were risking heart attacks. "I'll release him if he wants to be released," Thurmond said. Yarborough said he was waiting for his "second wind." Magnuson then opened the door and came outside. on, let's break this up." he said sternly. "We're just good friends," Thurmond answered.

"We have a mutual agreement." Thurmond then released Yarborough. Thurmond subsequently went into the hearing room after seeing a quorum was present without him. After the session, Thurmond and Yarborough appeared together in the hall and appeared amiable. Yarborough, who supports a relatively large paunch, weighs about 190 pounds. Thurmond seemed about 10 or 15 pounds lighter but in considerably trimmer shape and obviously proud of it.

Discuss JFK Library CHICAGO (UPI)-Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy was in Chicago for a few hours Tuesday to discuss plans for the Kennedy Memorial Library with architect Ludwig van Der Rohe. SAN FRANCISCO (UPI)-Sen. Barry Goldwater, supremely confident the Republicans will hand him their presidential nomination next week, today predicted a GOP election sweep next November from court house to the White House. Although he conceded that "we have a tough job ahead of us," the Arizona senator said the Republicans would he al their convention wounds and unite to win a resounding victory over President Johnson.

Goldwater, odds-on favorite to take the GOP nomination from Gov. William W. Scranton of Pennsylvania, made the remarks in a statement issued by his headquarters here while he was flying to this convention city. The senator planned to deliver it at San Francisco International Airport where his backers planned a colorful greeting calculated to outdo the welcome accorded to Scranton there Wednesday. The statement, exuding confidence, said Goldwater was confident a unified Republican party would leave here late next week to "beat Lyndon Baines Johnson and win the presidency of the United States." "I also know that this is going to be a Republican year all across the country from state house to court house and from Congress to the White House," Goldwater declared.

The Arizona senator sought to heal the breach with supporters of Pennsylvania Gov. William W. Scranton, his only major rival. He said: "I know that we are going to come out of this convention united and fighting--not with each other, but with the Johnson administration and its failing foreign policy, its phony fiscal policy and its attempt to spend its way to political power rather than letting this free nation get on with the work of building real jobs to meet the real needs of our prople. "United we will win." Goldwater, who was due here about 1:20 p.m., PDT, brushed aside popularity polls reporting that President Johnson would have the November election "in his hip pocket." "Polls do not win elections," he asserted.

"People do. There is only one poll that countsthe one that opens on election day for the voters." The senator said he was in the race because of only one thing "'The support of the people in the Republican party right at the grass roots. used the house as a combination headquarters and living quarters.
