Candidates Make Last-Day Talks
(Compiled from UPI Dispatches)
Both presidential candidates are making last-day appearances in their respective home states before retiring to their homes to await the decision of the voters tomorrow.
President Johnson flies to his home in Texas today for four election eve speeches.
The President's schedule called for a visit to the high school in Houston where he once was a teacher before he goes on to Austin and spends the night at his LBJ ranch.
SEN. BARRY M. GOLDWATER today accused the Johnson administration of "dereliction of duty" and blamed the latest Viet Cong attack, which damaged U.S. aircraft, on "sheer incompetence."
Johnson, who spent Sunday in Washington studying the latest reports on the situation in South Viet Nam, was scheduled to take off from Andrews Air Force Base, Md., at 2 p.m. CST for Texas.
He was to speak at a street rally in downtown Houston at 4:30 p.m. CST and motor to the Sam Houston high school for another talk at 6:15 p.m.
The President planned to wind up his visit to heavily populated Harris county with a speech at a shopping center in Pasadena, a suburb of Houston, and then fly to Austin.
JOHNSON WAS TO ADDRESS a rally in Austin at 9:15 p.m. in front of the state capitol and then go to his ranch, about 65 miles away, to await the election returns.
He planned to appear with Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, his vicepresidential running mate, on the NBC television network at 9 p.m. CST. Humphrey will speak from the West Coast.
WHILE JOHNSON ended his campaigning in Texas, Sen. Goldwater continued hammering at the administration's policy in Viet Nam.
He said administration leaders were warned of inadequate airfield defenses in Viet Nam within weeks before the attack and apparently the warnings were ignored.
The Republican presidential nominee made the charge in a statement made public as he began his final day of campaigning. He scheduled a lunch-time appearance in San Francisco and planned a final campaign stop in Fredonia, a small Arizona town which he views as a lucky windup spot.
His statement on the Viet Cong attack was his second in as many days. In a television interview yesterday, he said the attack, which destroyed six B57 jet bombers and cost four U.S. lives, might have been made because the Communists want Johnson and not Goldwater in the White House. He did not flatly assert such a political motivation, however.
TODAY GOLDWATER concentrated his fire on the Johnson administration, demanding an explanation of the attack from the "civilian strategists who have let the war in Viet Nam drift right up to its present brink of disaster.
