Johnson in next Tuesday's election. But GOP Sen. Barry Goldwater, while conceding five states, in- dicated he thinks the Republican ticket stands a good chance in all the rest. Most of the presidential polls show Johnson likely to gather one of the highest vote totals in the century - possibly beating Franklin D. Roosevelt's 60.8 per cent of 1936. Finale of Campaign Goldwater's view of 'his prospects was learned yesterday as he neared the finale of his campaign against Johnson.

In September c a m p a i g n speeches; Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.) promised that "Republi- cans will end the draft altogether, and as soon as possible." President Lyndon B. Johnson has confined himself to promises of re-evalua- tion, but he, too, seems on a course that will lead to revisions. Right now, a 30-man civilian- military team is at work on a comprehensive one-year review of the selective service system. Their study, initiated by Johnson, will be completed in April and could be a prelude to new policies on man- power procurement for the armed forces. There have been two main prob- lems with the draft, as critics ranging from Wisconsin's Sen. Gaylord Nelson to Goldwater agree - unfairness of selection procedures and an oversupply ,of potential manpower. Only 48 per cent of the 18-26- year-old men who form the cur- rent "draft pool" now -,erve in the armed forces. ' The proportion of eligible men who are drafted has declined be- cause the population, and conse- quently the draft pool, have con- tinued to grow while miitary manpower needs have remained relatively constant - about 2.7 million men. By 1967, the current 10.6 mil- lion-man pool is expected to reach 21.4 million, although the size of the armed forces will not change. Sizeable numbers of eligible men are deferred or exempted from the draft for reasons includ- ing marriage, fatherhood, defense or educational employment (in- cluding student status) and Peace Corps service. Despite increasing deferrals, there are still more than enough men available to meet the average annual draft calls of 90,000 men. Because of the deferrals, "all too often, draft calls discrimin- ate against many of the poor and less-well-educated-against those who cannot afford the various escape hatches now open," Gold- water has charged. Along similar lines, Nelson has charged that the oversupply of men has "corrupted the system to favor those who can afford to stay in college until they ar3 26, those who marry early, men with criminal records or moral short- comings, those who are mentally or physically below standards ... and those whose employers will claim they are essential." -dwas learned, thinks he will wi California's 40 electoral votes hopes the GOP ticket will sur- prise pollsters who forecast a lop. sided loss in New York and think the same thing could happen it Michigan.

A semifinal poll by George Gal- lup, director of the American In- stitute of Public Opinion, gave Johnson 64 per cent and de- scribed this as an "unprecedented lead." The most recent nationwide fig- ures by pollster Louis Harris gave Johnson 60 per cent, Goldwater 34 per cent, with six per cent unde- cided In another national survey, the "popcorn poll" showed Johnson leading Goldwater by 78 to 22 per cent. 49 Out of 50 Newsweek magazine reported that a poll of 50 Washington cor- respondents "representing all me- d;a" showed 49 predicting vc- t ry for Jchnson. Their tut , con- sensu gave Johnson 454 elecoral votes to 84 for Goldwater. 1Allster Samuel Lubb ', sum- marizing his nationwide findings, said earlier this week that "Next Tuesday's voting should bring landslide victory for Johnson." The Chicago Sun-Times poll forecast a 62.6 per cent edge for Johnson among Illinois voters. The figures indicated a majority of more than one million votes for Johnson if there is a 90 per cent turnout of voters. A New York Daily News poll gave Johnson a 75.3 per cent mar- gin. In Texas, Johnson held 61 per cent of farmers' votes. In Cal- ifornia Goldwater has 42 per cent, Johnson 58 per cent, and in Ohio a three-newspaper poll indicates Johnson will win by 60 per cent of the popular vote. Improvement But Goldwater said his pros- pects have improved in the last week of campaigning. He pre- dicted: -Continuation o1 a reported California upsurge which suppos- edly has given him 48 per cent that state's votes; -A surprise showing in New York state, where he said he might win if Democratic voting in the city could be cut by three to five per cent; -Victory in Ohio and Illinois, with Pennsylvania a tossup; -A possible win in Texas due to recent gains; -Tossups in Florida and Georgia. : GroupProposes Institute For Study of Religion By ELLIOT BARDEN A commission appointed last fall to study religion in the University's curriculum has recommended establishing an in- stitute for advanced study of religion. The institute should have three functions, the commission says: -To carry out research in the study of religion; -To assist in the planning and development of University curriculum on religious subjects: -To serve as a liaison agency on religious matters, both among University divisions and departments and between ther University and other institu- tions. 'U' Responsibility The commission was named last fall by Vice-President for Academic Affairs Roger W. Heyns "toconsider the respon- siblity of the University" for . courses on religious subjects. Chaired by Prof. William L. Schlatter of the business > school, it submitted its report this summer.f The report estimates that the establishment and opera- .... Lion of the proposed religious institute would cost about $150,000 a year for the first dew years of operation. Funds for the institute could be so- licited from interested founda-r Lions, business concerns andr individuals. VICE PRESIDENT HEYNS The report also suggests in- V corporating the soliciting of funds for the institute into the multi-million dollar fund drive now being planned for the Uni- versity's sesquicentennial celebration. Heyns noted recently that the final list of organizations' which will receive money from the fund drive has not been compiled. He indicated, however, that the proposed institute is being considered for inclusion into the campaign. Criticism The religious commission's report includes a general criti- cism of the University's. present curriculum in religion. It de- plores the "failure" of the University to "study religion suffi-" ciently to enable it to receive the same scholarly treatmenti accorded other academic fields."' The commission charges the University is deficient on > courses in modern Western religions.

George Romney accused Demo- crats of playing politics yesterday with the National Guard scandal he announced 24 days ago. Democratic Atty. Gen. Frank Kelley charged Romney acted illegally in dismissing the state guard's three top officers Oc. 8 after a report showed apparent irregularities in guard operations. Romney replied that he had acted on the advice of members of Kelley's staff. The governor said Kelley's an- nouncement was a political act, timed to come just before Tues- day's election. And he said it could have real political reper- cussions. R omney's opponent, Rep Neil Staebler, said he "can't conceive of a governor acting without con- sulting with his chief advisor." Staebler added that the Guard scandal should not be a political issue. He said he didn't know whether Kelley's statement would affect the election. Kelley's accusation came close behind the release of a poll taken by the strike-idled Detroit News. IL showed Romney leading Staeb- ler by 48 per cent to 44, with seven per cent undecided and one per cent favoring Albert Cleago, can- didate of the all-Negro Freedom Now Party. The poll also showed that Ne- gro support for Romney has skid- ded from 34 per cent last July to 12 per cent this month. Last July, when the firs: News poll was completed, Ronney had 50 per cent, Staebler 15 per cent and five per cent were undecided. The Freedom Now Party was not organ:zed until after the firs: poll was taken. The polls showed that state voters favor President Lyndon B. Johnson three to one over Sen. Barry Goldwater. By The Associated Press NEW YORK-President Lyndon B. Johnson brought his campaign to a climax last night when he told an enthusiastic audience in Madison Square Garden he is go- ing to win Tuesday because the people believe his opponent's "ex- tremism in the pursuit of the Presidency is an unpardonable vice." At the same time, Republican Sen. Barry Goldwater made his final presidential campaign bid in the South as he denounced the 1964 Civil Rights Act as "unfair discrimination in the private af- fairs of men." Government must "insure free- dom of association," the GOP candidate told a cheering crowd in Columbia, South Carolina. "But it cannot and should not insure association itself. That is a matter of the heart and con- science." "Of course," he declared, "gov- ernment should not discriminate among citizens on irrelevant grounds such as color, creed or religion, and no political leader believes it should. "No person," Goldwater assert- ed, "whether government or pri- vate citizen, should violate the rights of some in order to further the rights of others." "Freedom to associate is a double freedom or it is nothing at all," he said. In Phoenix, Goldwater termed as "strange, distorted minds" those that would unilaterally dis- arm the country, saying that to keep the peace, the United States had to be strong militarily. The President said he is ending "a campaign which will see the American people choose the lead- ership of the Democratic party." Johnson bitterly assailed Gold- water as a man dedicated to "ex- treme ideas." He said, without naming him, that the GOP nom- inee was not a true "conservative" but only a "radical" who had re- sorted to "smears and scandal", because he and his runningamate, New York Rep. William E. Miller, "found out that the American people would overwhelmingly re- ject their ideas and their pro- grams. "They ran smack into the good sense of the American people," he declared. Goldwater's main theme was civil rights, but he fired at John- son for wanting "more and more control over your lives." Both vice-presidential candi- dates predicated victory for their tirkets. In Los Angeles, Minnesota Sen. Hubert Humphrey said he and Johnson will carry the elec- tion ir. at least 40 states. He lashed out earlier at Gold- water for taking a "callous and immoral scrap heap approach" to the plight of America's aged. Miler, in Philadelphia, said in his last campaign speech that "we got a real chance to win." He said the GOP campaign had been "a crusade for the preservation of liberty." Johnson Sees Victory Tuesday; Goldwater Assails Rights Bill - . Legislative Hopes Depend On Congressional Elections WASHINGTON (P)-The next President's chances of seeing his legislative program enacted-to say nothing of scores of political careers, new and seasoned-ride with the. voters' choice Tuesday of a new Congress. All 435 seats in the House and 35 of the Senate's 100 are to be filled. Mathematically, the odds are against the Republicans taking over the majority in either cham- BENEFITS VS. FEDERAL CONTROL: Candidates Split over Aid to Eduction ber. But both parties are predict- ing increases in their present strength. The two parties' more sober pre- dictions of Senate gains just about offset each other. Prospects are for the Senate to remain firmly controlled by the Democrats. The division at present is 66 Demo- crats, 34 Republicans. In terms of legislation, the shift of a relative handful of seats in the House could be even more vital. It is in this chamber, where the Democratic majority is not as effective in practice as it looks in numbers, that Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson had most trouble putting their programs across. A modest pickup of votes by Democrats could break the dam for a number of key measures whichJohnson, if, elected, is sure to push. A similar gain by Repub- lican would strengthen the brak- ing power effectively used by a GOP - Southern Democrat coali- tion. But it would appear that only a political earthquake could shake loose the 41 seats the Republicans would have to pick up in order to gain control. Republican spokes- men have talked privately of win- ning 10 to 15 more seats. Demo- crats talk of gains in the same range, but say a Johnson landslide could bring many more. A gain of about 15 seats could be highly important to the Demo- crats, if they retain the presi- dency. Although the outgoing Congress was divided 257 to 178 in favor of the Democrats, the Republican - Southern Democrat coalition and other occasional Democratic defections on particu- lar issues produced cliff-hanger votes. Moreover, these figures do not reflect the decisions not to bring up some legislation at all because head counts showed they lacked a few votes for approval. The next Congress' action on the Appa- lachia program, establishment of a department of urban affairs, health care for the aged, housing and farm bills and further school aid might all hang on a shift of Four Killed i n Mortar Attack on Viet Base WASHINGTON P) -Four United States servicemen were killed and six B-57 bombers de- stroyed in the wake of a Viet Cong attack on the Bien Hoa Air- port near Saigon early this morn- ing. The Defense Department said Communist guerrillas lobbed some 100 mortar shells into the air- field area. President Lyndon B. Johnson has scheduled a meeting for this afternoon in Washington to re- view the situation. U.S. military officials in Saigon said artillery and planes from Bien Hoa struck back at the Viet Cong mortars, but there were no indications that the retaliatory move was successful. The attack was called the most destructive Viet Cong maneuver against any American installation in the history of the war. In addition to the four fatali- ties, 20 American soldiers were in- jured and eight other B-57's were damaged. Two propeller - driven fighter bombers and a helicopter were also destroyed. The huge attack seemed planned to coincide with South Viet Nam's National Day, the first anniver- sary of the overthrow of the Diem regime, which was to be celebrated today. Police reported that Viet Cong terrorists were likely to try some bombing in Saigon during the day. Maximum security preparations were in effect. White House aides said the attack could not be considered "a severe setback" in the Viet- namese war, but added it might be an important development in the hostilities. Johnson will meet with Secre- tary of State Dean Rusk, Secre- tary of Defense Robert S. Mc- Namara and other top administra- shun officials. Goldwater Fears Help for Schools EDITOR'S NOTE: As in most oth- er areas of theacurrent cam- paign, the two major contenders have taken almost totally oppo- site positions on the financing of higher education. Both men have taken stands flowing naturally from their differing orientations towards the role of the federal government in society. Here is a report on the votes and major statements of the candidates and their running-mates. Collegiate Press Service Sen. Barry Goldwater's position on education is in line with his general opposition to federal ac- tion in what he calls "local af- fairs." "Federal intervention in educa- tion," he says, "is unconstitu- tional." The quotation from "Con- science of a Conservative" seems to be representative of his phil- osophy. He has voted against every program to increase federal in- volvement in higher education for the past 10 years. Arguing that "federal aid to ed- ucation inevitably means federal control of education," he voted last year against the five-year $1.2 billion "bricks and mortar" col- lege construction bill and also in 1963 opposed President John F. Kennedy's $5 billion omnibus aid- to-education bill. In 1960, in "Conscience of a, Conservative," he said: -"The function of our schools is not to educate, or elevate, socie- ty, but rather to educate individ- uals and to equip them with the knowledge that will enable them to take care of society's needs ..." Writing early this year about the goals of education, Goldwater call- ed for "the broadest possible op- portunity for every individual, in line with his talents; the highest possible quality, from elementary grades to graduate school; and the greatest possible free choice." But, he continued, "federal aid is not the way" to reach these goals. See GOLDWATER, Page 2 Johnson Favors ; Federal Support Collegiate Press Service President Lyndon B. Johnson has strongly favored federal aid to public education, and has sup- ported a wide-ranging array of! legislative programs providing that aid. Increased educational opportu- nities have been given a major- if not dominant-role in the Pres- ident's War on Poverty, and in his other programs aimed at build- ing "The Great Society." As a congressman and a sena- tor, Johnson voted for five of six major federal aid to education acts, including the $50 million Per- manent School Lunch Program (1946), the $300 million Education- al Finance Act (1949), the Na- tional Defense Education Act (1958). Johnson strongly supported the $1.2 billion Higher Education ActI and a three year extension and ex- pansion of the National Defense Education Act. Both programs were pas:ed by the last Congress. The act calls for a five year program of federal grants and loans for the construction of class- rooms, laboratories, and libraries at both public and private schools. More Buildings More specifically, it provides funds for the construction of ad- ditional classrooms for several hundred thousand students, addi- tional graduate schools and facili- ties at 10 to 20 "major academic centers," additional technical in- stitutes, and 25-30 new public community colleges during the year of the program. The NDEA extension continues the present program under which students can obtain long-term low interest loans for college expenses from the government, increases the amount of money available for the program, raises the ceiling on the amount any one student can See GOLDWATER, Page 2 SEASON'S SECOND WHITEWASH: Michigan Blanks Northwestern, 35-0 By CHARLIE TOWLE Contributing Sports Editor Michigan's football team, in the words of its head coach, Bump Elliott, "put it all together" as it whitewashed the Northwestern Wildcats yesterday, 35-0. The victory;brought Michigan's season record to 5-1 and its Big Ten record to 3-1, good enough for third place behind Ohio State and Purdue. Michigan amassed 336 yards on the ground and 117 through the air in a game which saw Elliott start to empty his bench late in the third quarter. A touchdown with only 25 seconds left in the first half gave the Wolverines the big psychological lift which carried them through the contest. The Wolverines went 80 yards in 14 yards on that drive to post an impressive 21-0 lead over the Wildcats at halftime. Senior quarterback Bob Timberlake started the drive rolling around right end for 17 yards. After two unsuccessful pass attempts, fullback Dave Fisher powered up the middle on a big third-down play for 15 yards and a Michigan first down at the Michigan 49-yard line. A grabbing-the-face-mask penalty against Northwestern, follow- ing a six-yard loss on an attempted pass, brought Michigan into :., ... ,......::: k t,: r:k .... . iit. k «: -: :.: 3ck'... s. . . ti4r?.. u .: ; tix: : ..aQ +. .: i. :::.....?k. $' a x S.k..... ? ... __ §............
