Goldwater to day prevailed over forces which have guided the Republican party Since 1940 and locked up a first ballot nomination for president. Goldwater won the Republican presidential nomination in the fece of unfavorable public opinion Polls and substantial opposition within his own party. Delegates to the party’s 28th national convention gave the Ari zona senator a platform which re flects his wishes on every major i*sue — from civil rights and ex tremism to control of nuclear Wea pons. Thus equipped Goldwater will challenge President Johnson at the polls in November. As the senator himself put it in a statement issued during the tumultuous convention proceed ings, “the Republican convention is reflecting the conservative ma jority of the Republican party.” He might have added “at long last’, as no such swing toward1 conservatism had gripped the par ty since before the nomination of Wendell Willkie 24 years ago. If there ever was any real doubt as to the choice of this convention it evaporated early to day in a display of naked Gold water power. Brush Amendments Aside With machine-like efficiency end almost impassively, the sena tor’s forces brushed aside a series of platform amendments sought by backers of Pennsylvania Gov. William W. Scranton. The key test came on a propo sal to strengthen the civil rights plank of the platform. It was de feated by a roll call vote of 897 to 409 and with it went any linger ing Scranton hopes of victory. The delegates reconvened at 2:30 p.m„ (PDT 5:30 p.m.,) EDT to listen to speeches putting can didates in nomination and then to watch or join in the roof-shak ing demonstrations which will mark Goldwater’s nomination.

Speaking on Second Chronicles, Chapter 38, which describes the downfall of ancient Israel, Gra ham sa^d "some prophets were all right. They warned the people. “But the others preached what the people wanted , Jo hpaf:iand the people believed those who preached what they wanted to hear.” He said it was possible a nation or an individual can reach a point of no return in wickedness. He called on those in his Jet Stadium audience to return from wicked ness “while you can.” In discussing Matthew, Chapter 24, the evangelist drew a com parison between the present world and the time of Noah. “As it was then, so today we have divorce, an over-emphasis on sex, worldwide lawlessness, war, hatred, freed. We are very reli gious, but we have not taken up the> cross and followed Christ.’’ Charged With Paroles Violation, Quizzed In Girl's Slaying Guy Taken Into Custody Today Charles Lee Guy III, 26, paroled from the California State prison in 1963 after serving five and a half years for the shotgun slaying of his mother’s boy friend, was bock in custody today for alleged multiple violations of his parole.
