Rockefeller for using what Curtis called the self serving tactics of a Man desperately trying to retrieve his de Clining political  Curtis took the Senate floor to reply to Rockefeller s declaration of War or. The Radical right in a statement apparently aimed at some supporters of Arizona  Goldwater for the Republican presidential nomination. This brought a defense of Rocke Feller by sen. Jacob k. Javits r n.y., who said Curtis completely misinterpreted the governor s in Tention. Judgment Given it is my considered judgment that a Man who would take such desperate and destructive Meas ures against his own party in a Gamble to gain some temporary personal advantage has already forfeited any claim to loyalty from any part of the party Organiza  Curtis said. Curtis an Active supporter of Goldwater did not mention the governor by name. But he said he had received Many Telephone Calls and messages from party organization people who Are filled with anger and dismay at this cynical attack which if continued can Only weaken disastrously the whole  Curtis interpreted Rockefeller s statement As an attack on gop conservatives. Strange and suicidal since conservatives constitute quite clearly the great majority of the party the senator said it seems All the More strange even suicidal for a Man sometimes thought to have been a Republican Leader to turn on a great majority of his party such a destructive at  Curtis went on this Brazen attempt to cast a Shadow Over All conservatives by pinning an extremist Label on them is the same tiresome and hypocritical game which for years has been the principal weapon of the North Ern  gives interpretation javits told the Senate this interpretation of Rockefeller s target is wholly mistaken saying governor Rockefeller picked out no Republican to attack. He did not attack conservatives he at tacked the Radical  millions of republicans Are conservatives he said but the major Ity of republicans do not believe that Justice Earl Warren should be impeached that the income tax should be repealed that the United nations should be kicked out of its Headquarters in new York or that Dwight Eisenhower is a Neo  suburban counties 16 per cent in cities and 13 per cent in Rural areas.
