Break Made In Bombing Case In Birmingham
A third white man, John W. Hall, 36, faced illegal dynamite possession charges after 133 sticks were found in a North Birmingham area. Robert E.

Goldwater Stands By Ideas Amid Presidential Talk
Washington AP Sen Bar ery Goldwater defended his conservatism against charges of hedging for 1964. He said he has not changed any fundamental positions in recent speeches, while noting a possible shift on supporting federal authority to assist school desegregation in specific cases, without using it as a blunt instrument. He remains opposed to federal force for desegregation except as Constitutionally authorized. The senator corrected a record misattributing a Montclair speech to him and criticized the labeling of conservatives as isolationists or linked to extremist groups.
