Paradoxically, Scott's ambiguous stand on the Goldwater nomination may in the end pull out victory for him, but at the same time, it has brought him a myriad of problems and campaign difficulties. When Goldwater toured conservative Philadelphia suburbs last week, and Scott avoided him once more, staunch Republicans appeared with signs asking, "Where is Hugh Scott?" On one campaign jaunt, Scott's collar was seized by an elderly party woman who insisted, "Just say his name! You have to say his name!" But Scott says the name as seldom as possible, and he has yet to appear with...
Patrick Gordon Walker, 57, Foreign Secretary. One of the original staunch supporters of the late Labor Party chief Hugh Gaitskell, he has since loyally followed Wilson.

If Goldwater loses, "the hard core will remain," comments Edward Friend, a prominent Milwaukee conservative and former chairman of Wisconsin's fifth Congressional district. "They're doing it because they have convictions--they're dedicated, motivated...They would rather die than surrender what they honestly believe in their hearts...
...perceptive, just accounting of a distinguished career. However, Dr. Wilson would have noted one omission: his devotion to the College of Wooster (Ohio), where he took his undergraduate work, and which he served enthusiastically as chairman of its board of trustees. We at M.I.T. who were proud of his staunch support of this institution, admired his devotion to Wooster and his belief in the importance of the small liberal arts college...
