Nixon says Goldwater shifted on five issues
Nixon told reporters in Detroit that Barry Goldwater has altered positions on five major questions to align with the Eisenhower Nixon platform except civil rights. He cited UN withdrawal, TVA ownership, right to work, diplomacy with USSR, and Social Security, and said a candidate need not back every issue to earn the nomination. Nixon spoke after breakfast with Gov. George Romney and ahead of the Governors Conference.

Supreme Court Won't Review Red Party Ruling
Washington court decision upholding the Communist Party of the United States conviction for failure to register under the Internal Security Act remains in place. The Supreme Court declined to hear the case, with no reasons given. The government sought reversal, arguing party officers could refuse to register to avoid self incrimination, but the appeals court ruled registration would still reveal information. The party had been fined 120000 dollars for failing to disclose officers, income, expenditures, and printing press locations, a fine later set aside.

Sovereignty Bill Faces Scrutiny In Louisiana House
In Baton Rouge Rep John Garrett of Haynesville led amendments to empower the State Sovereignty Commission. The House approved the changes 53 to 39, increasing membership from eight to ten and moving toward at large selection. Critics warn of a secret service vibe as records stay confidential and access is limited to lawmakers. The bill, authored by Louis Padgett and John McKinley, would permit investigation of activities detrimental to Louisiana, with key hearings set on ethics and workmen’s compensation as session extends.
