Nixon campaigns; Barry sways on Rocky
NEW YORK—(UPI)—Richard M. Nixon said he would "end the war" if he is elected president and Barry Goldwater expressed second thoughts about his statement that he would not support Nelson Rockefeller if he becomes the Republican presidential nominee.
Nixon's statement raised eyebrows in both parties. Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy, D-Minn., called the Nixon pledge "on the order of a rash statement."
In a telephone interview early Tuesday in Phoenix, Ariz., Gold-water said: "Rockefeller thought so little of my position in 1964, it would naturally come about that I would think little of his position. We'd be too far apart."
But at a Republican dinner in Washington, Goldwater backed away from his earlier statement. He said he wanted "to leave it open" and that he would clarify his position Wednesday at a news conference in Phoenix.

KU senior receives Danforth Fellowship
Kenneth Gray, Ulysses senior, was named recipient of a Danforth Fellowship Tuesday.
With the fellowship, Gray, who is majoring in Soviet and Slavic area studies, may receive up to five years' support for graduate work at universities throughout the United States and Canada.
Gray also won a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship last Feb. 17 and the Paul B. Lawson award presented annually to the senior in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences with the top grape-point average. Gray had a 2.97.
delegation to the Democratic National Convention when President Johnson decided not to send a stand-in to oppose him. McCarthy will have the votes of the convention's ninth largest delegation, at least for the first ballot, unless he releases it.
Lester S. Hyman, the Massachusetts Democratic chairman, said he received a telephone call from the White House seven minutes before the deadline—telling him that Johnson "did not wish to have a stand-in in the primary."
That meant that Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., would go to the convention required to vote for McCarthy on the first ballot.
but a letter from him saying he was not a candidate removed him from the race. Nixon is in the Wisconsin primary.
In Chicago, William E. Miller, the Republican's 1964 vice presidential candidate, disagreed with Goldwater. He said he would support whomever the convention nominates and he said he thought that Goldwater would change his mind and support Rockefeller, should he win the nomination.
Rockefeller failed to withdraw his disclaimer in the Wisconsin Republican primary, which meant he would not be in the primary. He had been put on the ballot.
