In Harrisburg William Scranton coolly navigates a party torn by Goldwater influence. He signals reluctance for the 1964 presidential bid while noting that a rudimentary campaign may be needed. Pennsylvania Republicans debate strategy as public contenders loom.

He warns against a sectional party and notes Pennsylvania’s economic and tax challenges and efforts to attract industry.
