A lady supporter sporting a Scranton-For-President button approached a Goldwater supporter and asked the Gold-water fan if she would also wear a Scranton button.

The Monday morning convention session was mainly routine business. Many delegates read newspapers or chatted with friends. The largest hand received by anyone in the convention thus far went to a California man who has organized the Republican Men's Baby-Sitting Committee, a group of men whose wives have abandoned them to do volunteer work for the Republicans. One Scranton fan standing near a large gray limousine which was waiting to take Senator Goldwater to the Cow Palace quietly peeled off a large red and blue Scranton-For-President bumper sticker and attached it firmly to the back of Barry's car.

No Gold-water fan noticed it until the car bearing Senator Gold-water sped away. Both the North and South Carolina delegations are housed in the Jack Tar Hotel (Tom Moore Craig Jr. of the Spartanburg Journal staff is writing some special articles on the GOP convention for The Index-Journal. This is his first report.) By TOM MOORE CRAIG JR. SAN FRANCISCO The Golden City is flooded with Republicans from all parts of the nation and a predominant number of them are supporters of Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater.

The City Center is busy with activity almost around the clock. Banners and billboards plugging favorite candidates abound. Most original group in town Monday was the Ringo Starr-for-President faction. Composed of several wildly screaming teen-age girls, the group desires to see the British singer of Beatles fame nominated. The girls had made huge signs and continuously chanted songs and poems about their hero.

The popularity of Senator Goldwater was proved by his reception Monday morning as he left the hotel for meetings. A crowd of over 500 gathered in front of the main entrance of the St. Francis Hotel to view and cheer the Arizonan. Simultaneously, around the corner the leading supporter of Pennsylvania Governor Scranton, former Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, left the William W. Scranton in downtown San Francisco.

The fifth floor headquarters are maintained for both delegations by volunteers from local California GOP groups. The North Carolina delegation remained predominantly for Goldwater, but two uncommitted delegates remain. Members of other Southern delegations have been quietly of Spartanburg have been in talking to the two uncommitted men and have usually been plugging fhe candidacy of Senator Goldwater. Rep. James T.

Broyhill of North Carolina and S. C. Republican Robert F. Chapman of Spartanburg have been in great demand is speakers for Goldwater forces. Both have met with several uncommitted favorite son delegations and urged their support for the Arizona Senator.

Sunday night the Carolinas delegates had a chance to talk to Senator Goldwater at a private party held for Southern delegates by the Goldwater forces. The Senator bowed out early explaining that he felt he should work on delegations which were not already largely in his camp.

Judge Martin also restrained the school district from denying admission or transfer to schools on the basis of race, color or creed beginning with the fall semester. He ordered that transfer applications be made available beginning July 27, and that applications be taken from Aug. 3 to September. The five children specifically ordered admitted to white schools are members of two Darlington County Negro families. They are Theodore Whit-more Stanley, Emily Stanley, Whitfield Sims, Forest V.

Sims and Cordell Sims. Darlington County is the third county in South Carolina ordered to integrate its schools. Judge Martin ordered 10 Negro children admitted to white schools in Charleston last fall. Earlier this year he signed an order under which the Greenville County School Board voluntarily agreed to desegregate.

He also bemoaned the damage he thinks fellow Republicans have done him. With no morning session in the GOP Convention, Goldwater dropped in on the Oregon delegation and told tljem that Democrats "can do no more damage to me than some Republicans have already done." Republicans, he added, "should have discussed the fail- Platform on Page 3 ing of the Johnson administra tion, not whether Goldwater wanted to drop a nuclear bomb." The backers of Gov. William W. Scranton formed their faltering storGoldwater drive for one more try to stop the Goldwater bandwagon's swift flight toward the presidential nomination. Scranton backers plan to try to hammer three amendments into the carefully constructed platform bearing the Arizona conservative's endorsement.

It likely will be their last real stand before Wednesday night's balloting for the presidential nomination, and they pulled a surprise maneuver to try to crack Goldwater's iron grip on the convention proceedings. Sen. Leverett Saltonstall, R- disclosed they had called on one of the party's elder statesman, former Secretary of State Christian A. Herter, to of fer the Scranton forces' version of a nuclear arms control amendment. This proposal was aimed at Goldwater's statement that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization commander should have greater sypervision over small, tactical nuclear weapons.

It proposed to put the party on record as reaffirming "the historical constitutional precept of civilian control over the mili tary." It went on to say that "the authority to use America nuclear weapons belongs only to the President of the United States." An agreement was reached by convention officials to spend an hour on this and a proposed change in the civil rights plank approved by the Goldwater-dominated platform committee. But Sen. Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania, a Scranton backer thought so little of the prospects of success that he asked for only 10 minutes to offer a proposal to denounce "extremists." The expected platform battle seemed likely to provide about the last gasp of the Scranton effort to head off Goldwater. The Arizona senator claimed 800 votes for a first-ballot nomination Wednesday. He needs only 655.

SUIT DISMISSED CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) U. S. District Judge J.

Robert Martin Jr. Monday dismissed a $10,000 damage suit brought by a -Myrtle-Beach couple-who claimed the noise of jet planes at nearby Myrtle Beach Air Force Base amounted to a takeover of their property by the released by Gov. James A. Rhodes to vote for the man of their choice on the initial ballot. If there was any chance that Goldwater might ask Scranton to share the ticket with him, it apparently disappeared finally when the Pennsylvania gover nor said Monday night that he did not write a bitterly critical letter forwarded under his signature to Goldwater Sunday night.

But Scranton assumed the responsibility for it. John Conmy, a Scranton press aide, said the governor had not seen the letter before it went to Goldwater and had not ordered it sent to the senator. He did not volunteer the names of those who were responsible. Scranton said that some of the letter's acrid language attacking "Goldwaterism" was "too strong." But he said he still thinks the issues with which it dealt are important. It was generally understood in the Goldwater camp that his choice for his vice presidential running mate was Rep.

Along with the school district budgets and tax requests, the delegation received two other requests one from the County Association for Re tarded Children for funds to establish and operate an occu pational day center or sheltered workshop and the other from American Legion Post 20 for financial assistance in paving the Legion building driveways and parking area.

Purpose of the day center would be to train persons be tween the ages of 17 and 25 who are mentally or physically handicapped so that thev can be gainfully employed and become financially and personally self-sufficient within the limit of their capabilities.

Traynham explained that the center would take young persons who have completed the puDiic scnool special education program and "bridge the gap" irom that training to making them ready for jobs. He said there now are 24 persons eligible for the center program in Greenwood. Lawrence Curry of the state office and W. H. Turnley, vocational rehabilitation counselor in this area, said they believed Greenwood needs such a program and that its value has been demonstrated by centers and workshops in other cities.

They also said they believed the matching state and federal funds would be available if the center meets required standards.

The levies will be 48 mills in Greenwood School District, 45 mills in Ware Shoals and 40 mills in Ninety Six.

Milcoyan Prepares To Move Into Kremlin Front Office By KENT KRELL Associated Press Writer COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) An attorney for Sumter public schools argued in Federal Court today that the state does not have a legal obligation to educate children living on military bases. "That is the function of the government," Shephard K. Nash told U.S. District Judge Robert W.

Hemphill. "Those people on the base don't pay local taxes," he added. Nash argued against a government motion for a preliminary injunction to prevent Sumter County School District No. 2 from carrying out its announced plan to stop educating children of personnel living at Shaw Air Force Base. Nash said the case filed by the federal government against the sthobl district should be handled through the office of the U.S.

Commissioner of Health, And his unique role as Khrushchev's personal representative in diplomatic trouble spots. First Deputy Premier Alexei Kosygin apparently has taken over the first of these jobs: He was pinch-hit government chief during two periods this summer when both Khrushchev and Mi koyan were out of the country, At the same time, Brezhnev was reported to have taken over Khrushchev chair as first sec retary of the Communist party and to be working closely with Kosygin. Kosyjn, 60, a dour industrial management specialist, has been third man in the govern ment imeup since 1960. He is a memberof the Presidium but has little to do with everyday party affairs.

But as Khrushchev's favorite crony, he is expected to contin ue to wield considerable Education and Welfare, and not by the district court. U. S. District Atty. Terrell Glenn argued that the court does have jurisdiction.

He said the Sumter School district broke a contract with the federal government which had paid the district almost $1 million in school construction funds in return for an assurance of educational service to military dependents. Judge Hemphill agreed with Glenn that the court has jurisdiction, but delayed ruling on the government's request for an injunction. Judge Hemphill heard legal arguments in two suits involving Sumter County schools. Elsewhere in U. S.

District Court here, Federal Judge Charles Simons was to hear arguments later in the day involv ing a suit which seeks integration of schools in Orangeburg County. The plaintiffs in that case are also asking for a sum mary judgement. White parents in Orangeburg have already gone ahead with plans to set up a segregated, private school system for the fall term. By Monday deadline for applications, 1,837 white pupils had applied for admission to the private schools. Of these 994 were elementary school children and 843 high school children.

There are about 3,500 white pupils and 4,500 Negro students in th.e Orangeburg area. In other school integration developments Monday, U.S. District Judge J. Robert Martin Jr. ordered Darlington County to admit five Negroes to prev- Puzzled Officials Extend Search For Clues COLBERT, Ga.

The shift, apparently marking the final stage Of the 68-year-old Bolshevik's public career, was expected to set off a chain reaction in the Kremlin hierarchy.
