Sen. Barry Goldwater on Saturday labeled Gov. Nelson Rockefeller more in line with Democrats than Republicans. He spoke at Dulles airport after arriving to launch his GOP presidential bid, walking with crutches from a pre Christmas knee operation. He opposed face to face debates with Rockefeller and urged a Johnson confrontation if he wins the nomination.
