The piece argues Gov. Scranton's claim that Barry Goldwater is outside the mainstream is unfounded. It asserts Goldwater commands broad GOP support, dominates convention delegates, and draws many Democrat defectors, while critics accuse him of extremism. The author says those decrying him are outside the mainstream.
The piece argues Virginia Republicans should field a strong opponent to Senator Harry Flood Byrd, noting his broad cross party respect and stating opposition will not derail presidential alignment. A bold candidate could raise Republican visibility and help other races, while Byrd is not expected to react harshly to challenge.
Raymond Moley warns that the United States faces a steady loss of free gold due to domestic money expansion and foreign withdrawals. He criticizes Administration policy, notes Democratic plans to free gold for international use, and cites dissent from five Republican members plus Senator Javits. The piece also connects currency policy to inflation risk and political motives ahead of the 1964 election.
Sen. Tom Kuchel of California contemplates defecting to the Democrats if Barry Goldwater secures the Republican nomination and controls the party platform.

The piece compares Governor William Scranton to Barry Goldwater, noting Scranton's low public profile and limited political experience while Goldwater leads in primaries and endorsements. It suggests Scranton offers limited distinction from Goldwater on policy and could become a civil rights extremist, weakening his nomination prospects.
In Geneva the United States and the Soviet Union begin to adopt an agenda for piecemeal arms control at the 18 nation disarmament conference. Moscow voices softer opinions on other delegations and agrees to listen to proposals while the U S signals willingness to padlock fissionable material plants. Foster cites a limited inspection option and plant by plant shutdown as likely steps. The aim is to curb enrichment output and prevent other nations from aiding weapon production.
