Rockefeller Goes
All Out For
Nomination
By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON UPl — Gov. Nel
son Rockefeller has challenged
Sen. Barry Goldwater to an all
out liberal vs. conservative fight
for the 1964 Republican presiden
tial nomination.
In a policy statement tantamount
to announcing his candidacy, the
New York governor said Sunday
the Goldwater strategy is to try
to weld conservative, southern and
western support while writing off
northern states. This, Rockefeller
said, “would not only defeat the
Republican party in 1964 but
would destroy it altogether.”
Rockefeller said it was incred
ible the Republicans would offer
such an alternative to the “un
principled opportunism that has
captured the Democratic party.”
He added: “That alternative will
never be found in a party of ex
tremism, a party of sectionalism,
a party of racism, a party that
disclaims responsibility for most
of the population before it even
starts its campaign for their sup
port.”
Goldwater, who was not named
in the statement, made no im
mediate response. But associates
said they interpreted Rockefeller’s
attack as a declaration of war they
were certain the senator would ac
cept, even though he remains an
unannounced belligerent.
They added if Goldwater is writ
ing off the industrial north as
Rockefeller charged, the New
York governor is giving up on
Republican chances to collect elec
toral votes in the south.
Rockefeller’s blast is regarded
in Washington as the opening gun
of a vigorous comeback campaign
for the nomination. He was con
sidered by many observers the
leading contender until his recent
marriage to a divorced mother of
four children.
State Pays off Palzer s
Payroll Commitments
JUNEAU (J5* — Commissioner
Floyd Guertin of the Department
of Administration said today the
state has provided funds to pay off
all of the known outstanding pay
roll obligations of former ferry
concessionaire Chris Palzer.
Guertin said some $14,200 was
taken from an impressed cash fund
as an advance to Palzer to permit
the liquidation of Palzer’s payroll
obligations up to and including
the time the state took over the
ferry concessions on July 4.
The money was made available
directly to the some 60 persons
involved.
Guertin said Palzer had not
made the final payroll to his em
ployes on the grounds that money
he had expected to get from the
state had not been received.
The state’s obligations to Palzer
are in contest pending a final
audit of Palzer’s operations as
ferry eoncesisonaire.
Murders Bride of 8 Hours
STRATFORD, Tex. UD — Earl
Brown, 41, told authorities his
bride of 8 hours demanded that he
stop drinking and he replied:
“I’m going to wear the pants in
this family. I’ll show you.”
The bride, Alma Geneva Duke,
49, was found beaten to death
Friday when Brown started to
leave a service station and backed
against a gasoline pump.
Brown was charged with mur
der and held without bond.
Russian-Chinese Ideology
Split Appears Widening
By PRESTON GROVER
MOSCOW UP>—The Soviet Union
today accused Red China of stand
ing only one step from “a schism
of the world Communist move- <
ment and the creation of a new,
international Communist center.” <
The government newspaper Iz
vestia also charged that the Chi- i
nese were attempting to take over <
leadership of the African - Asian ’
nations and set the colored races <
against the whites.
Izvestia published the charges ]
as representatives of the warring
Soviet and Chinese Communist
parties resumed talks on their
ideological differences over Pre- ;
mier Khrushchev’s cold war poli- ,
cies.
The seriousness of the split be- :
tween the Communist giants was
emphasized by publication Satur
day of a 35,000-word Soviet Com
munist party statement accusing
the Chinese of being hypocrites
and warmongers bent on nuclear
war with the West.
The Soviet statement, an open
letter to the Communist parties of
the world, was an official reply j
to the Chinese attack June 14 on !'
Premier Khrushchev’s policy of j
spreading Communism by living
in peace with the West.
Pravda also published the Com
munist Chinese letter, disclosing to
the Soviet people for the first time
the extent of the historic breach
in the Communist movement.
The Soviet statement vigorous
ly restated Moscow’s opposition to
Peking’s hard line and defended
Khrushchev’s arguments that Com
munism can overcome capitalism
through peaceful competition.
Gov. Barnett Accuses JFK
Of Bringing Nation to
‘‘Brink of Civil Warfare”
WASHINGTON W — Gov. Geo.
Wallace of Alabama accused Pre
sident Kennedy today of bringing
the nation to “the brink of civil
warfare” by what he termed an
attempt to appease the leaders of
negro civil rights demonstrations.
“These leaders have now pres
sured the President into the ridi
culous position of placing his stamp
of approval on mob violence and
rioting in the streets of this coun
try,” Wallace told the Senate Com
merce Committee.
Wallace charged there are Com
munist influences in the integra
tion movement.
He also testified that senators
who joined in sponsoring the ad
ministration’s bill to ban racial
discrimination in privately-owned
places of public accommodation
like stores and restaurants had
given “tacit approval” to demon
strations he said were designed to
intimidate Congress.
The public accommodations bill
is a key part of President Ken
nedy’s civil rights program. The
Commerce Committee now is start
ing its third week of hearings on
the legislation.
Wallace’s statement was read off
in rapid-fire style before a crowd
that jammed the Senate caucus
room.

Grand Jury Indicts
Four of 6 Years of
Espionage Conspiracy
NEW YORK — A federal
grand jury indicted four persons—
one of them a Soviet U.N. official
—today on charges of conducting
a 6 - year espionage conspiracy
aimed at learning this country’s
nuclear and military secrets for
Russia.
The four sought to enlist U. S.
military personnel and defense
workers as agents, the indictment
charged.
Named as co-conspirators were
two Soviet diplomatic officials
who left this country early in May.
Conviction on the espionage
charge could carry a death pen
alty.
The two couples named as de
fendants in the indictment were
arrested by the FBI July 2 in dra
matic raids on apartments on Long
Island and in Washington, D.C.
They are Ivan Dmitrievich Igo
rov, 41, a U.N. secretariat person
nel officer and his wife, Aleksan
dra Ivanona Egorova, 39, and an
other couple whose real names
have not been divulged, if known,
but who have been passing as
Robert K. Baltch and Joy Ann
Garber. Those names really be
long to a priest in Amsterdam,
N.Y., and a housewife in Norwalk,
Conn., who were unaware of the
defendants using their names, the
FBI said.

ficials of Miami, Miami Beach and
Dade County reaped a harvest of
sometimes quaint, sometimes valu
able gifts brought by the girls en
tered in the Miss Universe beauty

BIG POWWOW
ANADARKO. Okla. — The
32nd Annual American Indian Ex

real frontier scout probably would
have run clean out of his buck

southern plains tribes are gathered
for the week-long affair.
I Both Sides Are
j Optimistic In New
Test Ran Talks
MOSCOW —Joking and bub
bling with enthusiasm, Premier*
Khrushchev launched the Kremlin
talks on nuclear test ban agree
ment today in a 3^-hour confer
ence with special U.S. and British
envoys. He jovially suggested sign
ing the agreement right away.
Red China, whose feud with the
premier has reached the point of
a split, took angry note of the
talks. A Peking broadcast charged
that the negotiations were based
on what it called the “utter hypo
cracy” of President Kennedy's
“strategy for peace.”
By entering the talks with U.S.
Undersecretary of State W. Av
erell Harriman and Britain’s Lord
Hailsham, the Kremlin ignored
Peking’s latest claims that Com
munism cannot negotiate with
“US. imperialism.”
The Kremlin’s negotiations with
the Western allies are centered on
a limited agreement banning tests
in the air, space and under water.
Both the Communist and Western
sides expressed optimism.
Khrushchev was in a jovial
mood from the first instant Harri
man walked through the door of
the conference room in the Krem
lin.
News photographers were al
lowed into the room before the
talks actually got under way.
Harriman and Hailsham insisted
, that for picture - taking Khrush
chev should stand between them.
Doing so, Khrushchev threw up>
( his hands in mock despair and said
with a loud laugh:
“I’m surrounded by imperial
ists.”
“Shall we start off by signing
the agreement right away?” the
premier joked.
I Harriman shoved a pad and pen
cil toward him.
Foreign Minister Andrei Gro
myko broke into a broad grin at
his seat next to Khrushchev and
told his chief:
“Sign and then leave it to be
filled in.”
At the Kremlin’s request, the
U.S. and Britain have agreed that
tiie conference should be carried
on in secret.
