Goodell May not have an easy Road to election unless a continuing inflation does him in the politics of 1970 Promise to shape up Well for Richard Nixon. The big issues that have made votes for the Liberal left a Vietnam school integration poverty a May not have been entirely defused but they no longer pack the old Wallop. Crime is still very much with us but the new left continues to make republicans look Good by perpetrating such outrages As Bank burning and court disruption. The new a a environmental issues a pollution the transportation of commuters a receive just As much attention from republicans As they do from democrats which takes them out of a a party politics. Nevertheless in certain key areas Richard Nixon could lose for winning. Take new York state to name the most prominent example. Charles Goodell the incumbent u. S. Senator by Courtesy of an appointment by governor Nelson Rockefeller has As of the moment of writing managed to maintain a favourable position As a candidate to succeed himself. Rockefeller who does no to want to stir up organizational trouble in his own Campaign for a new term As governor has been working hard to keep the Republican county chairmen from deserting to candidates other than Goodell. Since the Rockefeller Check Book is potent and since majority of the county chairmen have state jobs there has been a deceptive Calm on the surface of the political Waters. New f Aith lutheran Church dedicated sunday was a joyous Day for the congregation of Faith lutheran Church. It was the Day of dedication of the new Church edifice for which they had been planning and who have been closely associated with the project could feel satisfaction in what had been achieved. The Rev. Alton Koch who organized Faith lutheran Church in 1939, had the pleasure of seeing his congregation in a larger and More adequate Church sunday. Working Over Many months. Crowds for the morning and afternoon services nearly filled the new Church located along new Highway 218 in Northeast my pleasant.

Casualties and caused no material Cli Mage w Hen most of the shells fell outside the perimeter. Under the surface however Tho tides have begun to move. The criticism is More and More heard that senator Goodell might As Well be a new left Democrat for All the Good he does president Nixon and the republicans in Washington. Goodell wants to pull the plug in Vietnam by setting a hard and fast Date for our total withdrawal by his super dovish stand he would Force Nixon to go into the 1972 election As the first president in . History to accept total defeat in a War. On the Carswell nomination to the supreme court Goodell has gone out of his Way to Hurt Nixon. He was also an extremely vocal opponent of the presidents policy. So if he go Quot a Back to Washington As senator what have the Nixon republicans managed to achieve a Little help perhaps in organizing the Senate in Case they have a majority but no help at All on programs. Knowing that Goodell is potentially vulnerable a lot of people have been debating the idea of taking him on in a primary. But the debate has been under cover.

This presumably belongs to the realm of fantasy what the top conservatives Are really hoping for is that state senator John Marchi the Staten Island Republican who beat Lindsay in the primaries has made up his mind to go after Goodells Job.

John Hughes an Independent minded Republican state senator from Syracuse Joe Carlino former speaker of the Assembly and John Gilhooley Farmer assistant Secretary of labor and member of the new York City transit commission Are other republicans who Are straining at the Leash. Still another potential entry is William j. Casey the Long Island lawyer who organized the National citizens committee for peace with Security which helped Nixon win his narrow system Victory in the Senate. By opposing conservative Republican Steve Derounian in a Long Island fight some years ago Casey created bad blood among those who subsequently blamed him for putting Derounian out of politics.
