Johnson, who welcomed Hubert H. Humphrey, his vice-presidential running mate, to the 400-acre LBJ ranch near here for some quiet celebrating of their land slide election victory yesterday, sent Goldwater a telegram after the defeated Republican presiden tial nominee sent him a wire of concession. "I thank you for all your ex pressed desire to cooperate in the work thai; faces us all in the days and weeks ahead," wrote Johnson. He went on: "I hope all Americans will lay aside partisan passions and pet ty differences to unite in building a better and growing country and securing an honorable peace in freedom for all mankind. I will and r believe all your countrymen will appreciate any leadership and any effort you make in this direction." This was the full text of the President's telegram, which was signed "Lyndon B. Johnson" and dated today. ir it ' ic Goldwater Still Wants :-; To Bead GOP PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 4 (AP) His bid for the White House buried, Sen. Barry Goldwater wired congratulations to Presi- den Johnson today, vowed a course of Republican opposition when it is need and said he in tends' to stay at the GOP helm. Goldwater guessed Republicans would choose another man to make their 1968 bid for the White House. 'I have nobody in mind," he said. But the Arizona senator who gave up that calling to run against Johnson said the mas sive setback did not crush his conservative cause. And he said the GOP must stick to that path if it is to rebuild its powers. He said liberal and moderate members of the party helped pro duce his defeat, and declared: "I don't ihink we can build a Republican Party on their con cepts which, in my opinion, have no difference at all with the Democratic concepts." That brought a burst of ap plause from Goldwater's, follow ers and aides. Goldwater promised Johnson any help he can offer to build "a growing and better America and a secure and dignified peace." The GOP nominee, crushed by an unprecedented landslide, fore saw his own role this way: "... I will have a lot of time to devote to this party, to its leadership and to the strengthen ing of the party, and that I have c every intention of doing. Goldwater accepted defeat with a smile, a quip and an air of ?

Long, in discussng the myth of the Carolina gentleman, criticized pseudo beatniks, drunkeness, "grossing out" and profanity. After outlining a definition of the "ideal gentle man," he said that he realized no such person ex isted on this campus; 'however, he added, "I know people who are, trying to become what they are not now, people who are in a state of becoming." "Boys on this campus are generally well dressed, open doors for coeds, and treat the coeds as girls rather than 'its. " "But there are also those who do riot approach gentlemanly behavior. I criticize those who are Long Campaign Ends SOB, n O 9 The Democratic Stveep: It Wasn't Just Johnson By HUGH STEVENS DTII Co-Editor At first glance, it appears that the 1964 elections can be summed up in one sweeping generalization: the Democrats, led by Lyndon Baines Johnson, piled up a fantastic amount of votes, while the Republicans followed Barry Goldwater to a ballot-box disaster. It is almost that simple. Only in the South, where Senator Goldwater picked up five of the six states which he, finally won, did the GOP campaign tactics pay off. Deepest Dixie went for the Arizona Senator, largely on the basis of the Civil Rights issue, but in other parts of' the country Republican hopes were smashed. South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana gave Goldwater 47 of bis 52 electoral votes. Goldwater's home state of Arizona added the other five when it finally slid into his column late yesterday by the narrowest of margins. Otherwise, the President piled up whopping margins in state after state, winning 61-plus per cent of the vote nationwide, and in the process helped carry into office 26 Senators, 17 governors, at least 289 congressmen and a multitude of lesser candidates. Senate Races . . As the tabulated vote totals neared the 100 per cent level yes terday, there were few bright spots in the Republican columns. Some of the closer Senate races of the day looked like this. OHIO U. S. Sen. Stephen M. Young, the spry 75-year-old Demo cratic incumbent, apparently nosed out Robert Taft Jr, 47, in a see saw race. Taft had been favored to oust Young and was considered Presidential timber by many, veteran observers, but Young looked like the winner late yesterday afternoon, though by a margin of Jess than 15,000 votes oat of almost 4 milhon. A re-count may be in the offing. - . " " ... - " ' : CALIFORNIA Former White House press secretary Pierre Sal inger finally conceded defeat to former dancer-actor George Murphy, a Republican. Strong attacks on "Proposition 14" by Salinger may have cost him victory. "Proposition 14," a controversial referendum to outlaw all fair-housing statutes in the state, passed overwhelm ingly. PENNSYLVANL4 Republican Sen. Hugh Scott apparently-held off a strong challenge from Mrs. Genevieve Blatt, who was seeking to become the fourth woman Senator in U. S. history. Scott almost succumbed to a landslide victory by Johnson in Pennsylvania (67 per cent), but held on to win by only a few thousand votes. Mrs. Blatt may demand a recount. In races that were largely decided by late Tuesday evening, form er Oklahoma football coach Bud Wilkinson was beaten by Democratic State Senator Fred Harris, and Sen. Ralph Yarborough, a liberal, rode the crest of a Johnson landslide to victory in Texas. By far the most bitter dose of Democratic medicine for the GOP to swallow, however, was the thumping defeat of incumbent Kenneth Keating in New York by former -Attorney General Robert Kennedy Keating ran a million and a half votes ahead of the national ticket in the state, but still lost by about 500,000. The Goldwater-Miller ticket received an attack from N. Y. Gov. Nelson' Rockefeller, in which he blamed the Democratic landslide, not Kennedy, for Keating's defeat. House Races Republicans broke new ground in the South to partially offset the Democratic pains elsewhere in the nation. Five GOP candidates were elected in Alabama, one in Georgia, one in Mississippi. Among the Democrats ousted were Rep. George M. Grant of Alabama, a 14-term veteran: William A. Winstead of Mississippi, 11 terms; Ken neth A. Roberts of Alabama, 7 terms, and George Huddleston Jr. of Alabama, 5 terms. The GOP winners included Jack Edwards, William Dickinson, Glenn Andrews, John Buchanan and James Martin in Alabama, Howard H. Callaway in Georgia and Prentiss Walker in Mississippi. Plowed under by the Democratic sweep elsewhere were such Republicans as Ben F. Jensen of Iowa, a 13-term veteran; Walt Horan of Washington, 11 terms; J. Edgar Chenoweth of Colorado, 11 terms; R. Walter Riehlman and Katharine St. George of New York. 9 terms and Thor C. Tollefson of Washington, nine terms. GOVERNORS Republicans made a net gain of one governor, but the Democrats (Continued on Page 5) Moore TED kOT"h"m .

Long, emphasizing that he was not criticizing drinking, urged students to know their limit "and stop there." 'The second thing which marks a non-gentleman is the art of 'grossing out' grossing out your date, your friend's date, or your friend. This term refers to public obscenities and profanity I can't see where this is at all justifiable. "There is also the studied non-conformist who is deliberately offensive to others." Long specifically cited the "unwashed, greasy pseudo beatnik," and the "Joe College ' no-sock-Weejuns slovenly type." Why do males here behave offensively?

Because he limited his . cam paign to state issues on .behalf of state candidates, Moore was criticized sharplv for being aloof toward the national ticket and for holding Democratic liberals at arms length. When the votes wre counted, however, al statewide candi dates, the presidential ticket and the nine incumbent Demo crats in Congress were vaulted into office. "Don't the results speak for themselves?" asked William Webb, the party's national com mitteeman and a Moore ap pointee. "I don't see. how anv ibodv could be critical of them." "We conducted the best cam paign from state headquarters that could have been conducted by us both for the President and for Judge Moore," declared North Carolina Democratic Chairman J.

' .. ' Gen. Alfredo Obando Candia, the armed forces commander, told the nation after a 24-hour military uprising: "I have as-: sumed the responsibilitay of the government to form a military junta . that will take charge as o As the news flashed through the capital, Bolivians ran into . the streets shouting , "Viva the Ar my!" .This was; a far cry from 1952, when Paz rode to power oh the crest of a popular uprising that threw out a military junta. Paz,. 57, and a party of his lieutenants flew in a Bolivian : military plane to Lima, Peru. . He was whisked away from the airport in a black automobile and reporters were unable to talk, to him. Gunfire echoed through La Paz after Paz fled. Students and workers fired upon the headquar ters of the political police and the headquarters' of - the traffic po lice. It was believed they were venting pen tup feelings. There also was a report that some planes, presumably from the Air Force, strafed Paz's mili tia gathered on a hill near the capital. The militia backed Paz throughout and .with the National Police put down a military up rising in La Paz Tuesday. . But the police went over to the rebels in the early morning hours, and it was not long afterward that the President sped away from the government palace. Shortly before Paz. left, Obando had been reported trying to reach an agreement with military reb els centered at Cochabamba, 350 road miles south of La Paz. Led by Vice President Rene Barrientos, an Air Force General, the rebels at Cochabamba had de manded Paz resign because of last month's clashes with rebel lious students and miners that took at least 17 lives. Barrientos broke with Paz last month. In his message broadcast to the nation, Obando said the junta will hold power as briefly as possible and will call for new elections. He said Paz resigned to avoid Ho laws as to what's 'cool'. And also, they act this way because the girls let them. "There are girls here who have been dumped on because they won't co-operate' and who won't say anything because they are afraid of being put on an imaginary or sometimes real black-list "The ratio here is too good for you girls to al low this type of behavior to continue." A lively discussion was incited between the girls and the representatives from the boys Residence Halls. The discussion turned into a re-hash of the earl ier boy-girl arguments this year. The new attitudes tcward dating "dorm-rats over f rat-cats" were said to be obvious this year, mainly, because of the success of the Residence Hall combo psrties. - Long concluded that "each of you has to sell yourself as an individual the. gentleman is the one who has the easiest job of selling." President further bloodshed. Apart from the economic troubles that beset Bolivia, Paz lost further popular support when he had the constitution changed 50 he could run for a second con secutive four-year term last May. Obando said Paz had brought down trouble upon himself by this act, which was opposed by all the political parties and even stirred dissention within the Pres ident's Nationalist Revolutionary Movement:-; . . - -. i Last:Septemhnr.Paz.rlimpd hp had uncovered a plot to assassin ate him, sent 34 political leaders into exile and imposed modified martial law. Without mentioning martial law, Obando said the jun ta would guarantee life and prop erty and stay in power only until Bolivia regained its constiutional freedoms. There was no clue as to the other members of the junta. But a Colonel, Robert Aliaga, one. of the officers controlling the en trance to the government palace, is a backer of Barrientos. Paz's troubles run far deeper than the clash of political ambi tions, however. When he led the Nationalist Revolutionary Move ment in 1952, he nationalized the fin mines, which provides Bo livia with its chief export. Na tionalization led to serious finan cial losses. - ... With its large, illiterate Indian population, Bolivia is a land of poverty and poor communica tions. Paz's movement was un able to solve these problems. Bo livia has been kept going largely through-'?,U.'S.- aid, which has amounted to $400 million in the past 12 years. The Lament Of The By KERRY SIPE Anyone in favor of Barry Geldwater for president wields about as much influence in Cha 'Pe! Hill this week as a peeled balloon. Five Goldwater lapel pins and 50 cents will get you a shiny new half dollar at any bank. GOP Headquarters in Chapel Hill is locked tight this morning. A sign outside the door reads "Out of Order." 'I told you so' seems to be the name of the new national anthem. Mr. Gallup and his poll sters sing it the loudest. For getting the "ifs" and "ands" and 'althoughs" of the weeks just pass, Democrats are reas suring themselves that they never had a doubt. What, then," . is happening to those who "in their hearts STILL know he's right? Do they feel a pang of pain every time they used a band-aid or a can of wax with Johnson printed on the package? Do the nasty remarks from the sides of Democratic mouths and written on the walls of Demo cratic washrooms cause tears to form in the eyes of those who mourn the wounds of the Grand Old Party. We asked a number of still stal wart supporters of the Arizona Senator to express their grief to us. Many are living examples of the old adage that "hope springs eternal."

Combined Election Service Gives Fastest NEW YORK (AP) The 1964 elections were reported to the na tion and the world faster than ever by the first pooled national election service. The Associated Press, United Press International, the National Broadcasting Co., the Columbia Broadcasting Co., and the Amer- ican Broadcasting Co. joined in the first cooperative effort of its kind. The organization, created specifically for the purpose of collecting toe vote for president, U. S. Senate, governors and Con gress, was called the Network Election Service (NES). Each NES unit was assigned the responsibility for gathering figures in a specific group of states. All the figures were reported to NES headquarters in a New York hotel and then distributed through each of the units to the public at large. NES employed a man or a woman in 130,000 of the nation's 172,000 voting precincts to speed youth. "Sooner or later the American public will get wise to Lyndon Johnson. It's not Barry Goldwater who lost this election, it was the United States of Amer ica." Another of the Goldwater fans offered a combination of philoso phy and logic.

Student Body President Bob Spearman, acting on behalf of "Carolina Students for USNSA," yesterday expressed his willing ness to debate the NSA issue on Friday night. His statement came in response to a . DTH editorial on Tuesday morning urging a debate on the Nov. 10 referendum concerning UNC's affiliation with NSA. The DTH will sponsor the debate. At press time yesterday, no member of the opposition had come forward to accept tlic de bate challenge. "I am happy to accept the gen erous offer of the editors to spon sor a debate on NSA," Spearman said. "I feel that this is the surest method by which Carolina stu dents can find out the exact ar guments being voiced by both sides." Spearman also expressed the hope that opponents of NSA would accept the invitation to debate "in order that the issues might be taken openly to the voters." He expressed the opinion that "many students have mis conceptions about what the issues really are." As stated in the editorial on Tuesday, the DTH will announce a time and place for the Friday debate, and arrange a moderator, when and if both sides accept the offer. The referendum, which will be on the ballot in Tuesday's campus-wide elections, will decide UNC's future with NSA. If the referendum is favorable, Caro lina will remain affiliated with the national organization. If the vote is negative, Student Legis lature will be mandated to sever the University's ties with NSA. Totals Ever the results in these voting-points to the gathering and tabulating center in New York. The Daily Tar Heel, employing the facilities of the Associated Press, apparently had later vote totals than any state newspaper. The presses at ' the printing Fhop were stopped at 2:25 a.m., when the press run was approxi mately half over. New vote totals were inserted at that time. It was believed to be the first time the DTH has ever run two editions. The tabulations were then made available simultaneously to each cf the units in NES for distribu tion to newspapers and for broad casting by radio or shown on television. NES provided Tuesday night a report on 10 per cent of the na tion's precincts an hour earlier than the Associated Press provided- comparable figures in 19G0. The 25 per cent figures were also one hour earlier. At the 50 per (Continued on Page 5) Losers awfully lot of people fooled," he said. "It's so hard for me to have any respect for Johnson," a co-ed offered. 'There's nothing I can do about it now. He's the Presi dent." She and her resignation to de feat were mimiced by another Carolina Goldwaterite who said. "He's the President of the United States. You've got to support him even if you hate his guts." You can always tell the losers from the winners. The sassy self satisfied smirks of the Johnssn boys lend contrast on every streetcomer to the stark, thin, bedraggled faces cf the Gold water forces. "Only three elections have been held during my grown-tip life time," one freshman said. "I supported Adali Stevenson, Rich ard Nixon, and Barry Goldwater. I know you can't win them all but this is not even funny." Few of the losers were ready to abandon their candidate com pletely. One was. "I supported Barry Goldwater during the elec tion . . . but I've always kinda had my doubts," he said. It pays to make friends vvith the winning team. The more loyal Republican sup porters have decided that, if nec essary, TVA can ptay in the hands of the government, the U.S. can stay on the United Nations roll books, and the public accommo dations clause can stay in the lawbooks. For four more years anyway.
