...Pennsylvania's Scranton, whose presence on the ticket would promote G.O.P. unity and help Barry in the industrial Northeast. Scranton has repeatedly said he does not want the vice-presidential nomination, and last week Goldwater said: "I don't think either of us would be comfortable running with the other." Still, there are strong arguments that a Goldwater-Scranton ticket would make the best of political sense, and the possibility should not be ruled...
...over the U.S. and gave him hundreds of far-flung pulpits from which to preach his views. Finally, Dirksen had said for months that he would back whichever candidate he thought would help the most Republican Senate nominees. He realized that Goldwater might hurt the chances of such Northeast Republican incumbents as New York's Ken Keating and Pennsylvania's Hugh Scott. But he also felt that the G.O.P.'s best chance this year for increasing its Senate membership was in the Midwest and Far West-where Barry is relatively strong. Still, there were days of cautious...
...evidence on which to enter the case, and the Mississippi Highway Patrol, which declined to do more than issue a routine missing-persons bulletin. Then, Tuesday afternoon, a telephone tip on the station wagon's whereabouts came to the FBI office in Meridian. Agents rushed to the northeast corner of Neshoba County, found the gutted car in a blackberry thicket 40 feet off State Highway 21 near the dank Bogue Chitto Swamp. The site, twelve miles northeast of Philadelphia, was in the opposite direction from which Deputy Price said he saw the civil rights workers going when they left...
Even Awhile the OAS was meeting in Washington, new evidence was building up against Castro. Last month officials in Surinam, The Netherlands' self-governing colony on South America's northeast coast, reported that Castro gunrunners in high-speed launches are smuggling large amounts of arms down the Courantyne River for delivery to Communist terrorists in neighboring British Guiana. The Dutch army has already sent 1,000 soldiers, plus two helicopters, to reinforce the border-river patrols, and a navy frigate has just steamed in with more much-needed help...
This Eastern-clique business is a fetish with Goldwater and his followers; they constantly compare 1964 to 1952, when, they insist, the Republican kingmakers of the industrial Northeast cheated Robert A. Taft out of the Republican nomination. The comparison, of course, is absurd. Bill Scranton has not achieved the national stature of a Dwight Eisenhower, and Barry Goldwater is far, far from being a Bob Taft. Moreover, the storied kingmakers who launched Ike into politics-and thereby won undying enmity from the G.O.P.'s conservative wing-did not catapult Scranton, or anyone else, into the race...
