Barry, Rocky Go To California Undaunted
UPI—The two leading GOP presidential candidates, their enthusiasm still high despite the result of the New Hampshire primary, resumed their campaigning today with an eye on the California election June 2.
The winner of the first-in-the-nation primary, Henry Cabot Lodge, however, remained at his ambassadorial post in South Viet Nam and gave no indication he would return home to campaign actively for the Republic nomination.
THE EFFECT of the New Hampshire primary on New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller or Arizona Sen. Barry M. Goldwater's chances of success in their effort was inconclusive. But, a survey of GOP leaders across the nation reflected the opinion that the GOP convention this summer will be the scene of a wide-open fight for the nomination.
BOTH CANDIDATES plan to step up their activities in California and elsewhere, both to overcome the effect of the New Hampshire return and to nail down additional delegate support for the summer convention.
A great many of the party representatives, acknowledging Lodge's 11,000-vote victory margin without ever leaving Saigon, still were skeptical that his supporters would be able to repeat the feat in other primaries or that he would capture the nomination unless he returns to the United States before the GOP gathering in July. The ambassador's smashing write-in success in the New England contest, they inferred, was more a tribute by the state's voters for a Massachusetts neighbor than an overhealing defeat for either Rockefeller or Goldwater.
Lodge garnered 34.8 per cent of the total vote cast Tuesday. Goldwater picked up 21.7 per cent, Rockefeller 21 per cent and Richard M. Nixon 16 per cent.
Goldwater stopped today in Phoenix, Ariz., on his way to California to be grand marshall of a rodeo in the city. He leaves his home town tonight for 10 days of campaigning for California's 86 presidential primary votes.
BEFORE LEAVING Washington, Goldwater admitted he had made some "goofs" during his tours of New Hampshire, but he promised that he and his supporters would not

make the same mistakes elsewhere.
Rockefeller already is in California where he conceded yesterday that polls in that state and Oregon showed him as the underdog. To overcome this role, the New York governor planned to follow a rigorous four-day handshaking and speaking tour.

WHILE THE two leading announced candidates battled in California, the two most mentioned dark horse prospects for the nomination. Richard M. Nixon and William W. Scranton, continued to maintain they were not candidates.
The result of the New Hampshire primary has not affected his plans, Nixon said last night. "I have no intentions of becoming an active candidate," he said while volunteering to "speak for the Republican Party, if they want me, and to unite it."
Pennsylvania Governor Scranton, still refusing to enter the race for the nomination, said that the New Hampshire primary result had made Lodge a serious contender for the Republican prize.

Dethroned Boxing Champ Faces 10-Year Jail Term
DENVER—(UPI)—Sonny Liston today faced the possibility of a 10-year prison term for carrying a concealed weapon.
Liston, who lost his crown to Cassius Clay two weeks ago, had other troubles, too. He and his Intercontinental Promotions were sued yesterday for $1,150,000 for breach of contract.
Last week, Ben Bently, Liston's former publicity manager, sued him in Chicago for back pay.
A .22 caliber pistol was found on the former heavyweight boxing champion's person Tuesday night when a police officer stopped him for speeding down a Denver boulevard.
THIS LAW PERMITS felony charges to be filed against a convicted felon found to be carrying a weapon. Conviction carries a two to ten year sentence.
Since Liston has a police record, authorities were attempting to determine whether the concealed weapon charge filed against him yesterday constitutes a felony under a Colorado law passed last year.
Liston served two terms on felony charges in Missouri in the 1950's.
totaling more than three years. Denver police said they had asked the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Washington to forward Liston's police record to Denver.
Liston served a term in the Missouri State Penitentiary in Jefferson City from May, 1850, to Oct., 1952, on first degree robbery charges, and a nine-month sentence in the Missouri County Workhouse after pleading guilty to assault to kill
