C WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1964 5c A COPY PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY Barry Goldwater Highly Critical In Fayetteville Interview With Candidate For Republican Presid ential Nomination Brings Out Campaign State ments By WELLIAM AIXEN Arizona Senator Barry Gold water called the Democratic Ad ministration’s plans to combat pov erty an effort to divided Ameri cans into classes while in Fayette ville Saturday. “If anybody has done anything to put people against people in this' country, it has been the Democra tic party over the past 30 years,” Senator Goldwater declared. He said the program was simi lar to the ones of President Frank lin D. Roosevelt which “divided the people and pigeon-holed them.” Senator Goldwater’s answers came in response’ to newsmens questions during a press confer ence in Fayetteville Saturday morning. President Lynden John son proposed to spend some $1 bil lion dollars over the next three years to fight poverty in the United States. “I think its a political gim mick,” Senator Goldwater declar ed. “It is an attempt to divide Americans into classes. , “The Democratic party tried to cater to farmers and almost wrecked them. They tried to cater to small business men and the same thing happened.” Senator Goldwater said the ans wer to the poverty problem lies in the free enterprise system. “You have to encourage people to invest their money to create new jobs,” he continued. The Democratic party has not provided the neccessary jobs for the people, Senator Goldwater charged. “I don’t believe we have a Democrat in the administration who really understands the free enterprise system in America,” he added. Senator Goldwater, the leading contender for the Republican pres idential nomination, visited in Kinston and Fayetteville Friday "and Saturday. Thig was his first trip into the South since he an nounced he would be a candidate for the nation’s highest office earl ier this month. Senator Goldwater predicted that the Republican party would make gains in the South in 1964. “But any Republican who says flatly that he can carry the South is not talking as he should,” he added. He said President Johnson’s ele vation to the White House had not had much effect on the Republican party’s chances to win in the South. "Johnson will have to turn away from the South and look to the North for votes,” he observed. “And we never know whether he Is from the South, West North or East. It just depends on where he is at the time.” Senator Goldwater challenged anyone to call President Johnson a conservative. “He is not a con servative by any stretch of the Imagination,” he declared, “....is voting record shows him to be in the same class as Hubert Hump hrey.” (an ultra-liberal). He gave the young people much of the credit for the rise of the Republican party in the South. “The young people have developed Continued On Page Four I JHV Bite Of “-NEWS-1 SPAGHETTI SUPPER The Ocean View W.S.C.S. ai Yaupon Beach will have a spaghet ti supper on January 31, from 5:3( to 7:30 o’clock at the Ocean Viev\ Methodist Church.
