Thousands of Scottsdale School District children begin the new year with mixed emotions yet eager to learn. The district emphasizes growth, higher budgets, and tax support to sustain a strong education.
Last week city officials met with the We're For Scottsdale Committee to receive a gloom laden progress report. The group cites slow progress due to heat and lack of volunteers while warning that a judge's ruling and undecided annexations threaten the tax structure and essential services. Committee chair Rev. Lee J. Smallsteed notes 60 to 75 percent valuation signatures in covered areas but calls for paid workers to finish the job. If annexation stalls, Scottsdale could face major financial and service losses.
Senate opposition and Goldwater allies dissect his writings as the 1964 GOP nomination contest intensifies. Arizona editor William Mathews argues the senator's remarks in Why Not Victory reflect a harsher stance on peace and American strategy, while Goldwater defends his text against charges of advocating coexistence with international communism.
Tucson editor Mathews accuses Senator Barry Goldwater of advocating war by proposing an ultimatum to Moscow and predicting Soviet rejection of coexistence. The column argues Goldwater’s stance signals a shift toward an ultra conservative GOP, influencing party committees and framing Cuba and test ban debates.
Washington reports a notable shift as George Romney gains national support without a formal campaign. Polls show Romney matching Goldwater against Kennedy nationally and leading Kennedy in the South, aided by Eisenhower's backing for a moderate nominee.
Ralph McGill reflects on September's arrival and the football season as he recalls Grantland Rice and laments long schedules for high school and college teams. He notes intense lobbying by football scribes and alumni, the risk of overemphasis, and the coach as a powerful cultural figure in academies.
An editorial critiques the rise of football dominated campuses noting faculty pressure on players to pass, the decline of liberal arts colleges, and the shift away from big time programs. It argues football is a traditional sport with a place but warns factories may be unstable as the trend toward sanity grows.
Senator Major General Barry Goldwater contends that fears of a dominant military in U S policy are unfounded and urges a continuous review of military pay. He notes civilian wages have risen faster since 1952 and supports a 5 to 18 percent pay increase for 2.6 million personnel as a stopgap toward longer term parity. He calls for sustained incentives matching the value of servicemen to national defense.
The column contrasts English Conservative prestige in outdoor sport with American political life. It notes the Tory focus on grouse shooting as a longtime symbol of statesmanship and likens it to American tastes, implying public figures’ concerns over image and tradition without similar sporting rites.
A rambling critique of how politicians chase sports from golf to yachting and fishing, noting shifts in public image and the risks of matching athletic pursuits to campaigns.
