Goldwater Talks on Vietnam and Platform Strategy
Goldwater addressed questions on his Vietnam stance, saying he would first decide on a win policy in South Vietnam and then inform the Joint Chiefs of Staff to act. He discussed Scranton’s Der Spiegel interview and defended a concise platform, noting unity after the convention and that civil rights is now law. He rejected dictating platform terms from outsiders and weighed Wallace’s potential impact on votes.

Eisenhower sticks to neutral role in GOP race
Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower declared he remains neutral in the Republican presidential nomination fight. Speaking at a trainside news conference in Harrisburg before leaving for the GOP Convention in San Francisco, he said he was showing no partiality and had been completely consistent. His stance dimmed hopes of Pennsylvania Governor William Scranton receiving Ike’s endorsement against Senator Barry Goldwater. Dr. Milton Eisenhower said Ike’s position could not be clarified, noting each Eisenhower makes his own mind. The former president and Mamie were greeted by spectators and guarded by FBI agents and state police at the station before boarding three private cars to Chicago.
