Among other things, Senator Goldwater was quoted as say­ing that Germany would have won both world wars if the na­tion had not had as supreme commander each time a man ”who didn't understand war.“ Also, he was quoted as favoring ”great leeway“ for the North Atlantic Supreme Commander in deciding whether to use nu­clear weapons.  The Senator is understood to have been flooded with invita­tions from as many as 50 or­ganizations, some of a radical nationalist or neo‐Nazi charac­ter, to make appearances dur­ing his visit to Germany.  Word of the rightists' invita­tions was broadcast by the Co­lumbia Broadcasting System, and Senator Goldwater there­upon canceled his trip. He charged that the network had reported he was going to start his campaign at Hitler's start­ing point with an effort ”to cement relations between the extremist groups in America and Germany.“  Daniel Schorr, the C.B.S. cor­respondent in Germany, broad­cast on July 16 what the net­work called ”clarifying state­ments,“ as follows:  ”In speaking the other day of a move by Senator. Gold­water to link up with these [right‐wing German] forces I did not mean to suggest a con­scious effort on his part, of which there is no proof here but meant more a process of gravitation which is visible here.“  According to Roland Fried­rich Messner, president of the Political Club of the Evangel­ical Academy at Tutzing on Lake Starnberg, a forum of West German politicians in Bavaria, the Senator appeared to have been interested as late as July 17 in reviving the journey.  Mr. Messner said he had re­ceived a telegram from Dean Burch, Goldwater campaign  The Tutzing academy was founded in 1946 by the Bavaria bishopric of the Evangelical Church, and is something like a religious retreat house, but is also concerned with public affairs. The Political Club is not church‐owned, but uses the academy's premises, and has been financed by two West Ger­man governmental offices and by contributions, including travel grants from the United States Information Agency.  Mr. Messner, the academy's 39‐year‐old director, is the son of a former Buchenwald con­centration‐camp prisoner. He is known as strongly pro‐Amer­ican. He visited the United States in 1962, and got the idea of inviting United States poli­ticians to his forum, pairing Republicans and Democrats. He met Senator Goldwater through Lawrence J. Merthan, legisla­tive counsel to Senator Eugene J. McCarthy, Democrat of Min­nesota, who formerly worked in Germany with an American Lutheran agency. Last year, Mr. Merthan was asked to sound out Senator Goldwater about coming to a seminar.  It was through Mr. Merthan that the group first checked Mr. Goldwater again last Jan­uary of February. At that time, the Senator was heavily en­gaged in campaigning, and said he could not accept the in­vitation.  According to Mr. Messner, Representative William E. Mil­ler, then Republican National Chairman and now Senator Goldwater's running mate for Vice President, extended an in­vitation to him to come to San Francisco for the convention. Mr. Messner said he had to de­cline because of his club duties.  Mr. Messner has said the fail­ure of Senator Goldwater to come to the forum has been ”most distressing for me.“ He added, ”The reputation of the Evangelical Academy of Tut­zing as an independent and re­spected political forum is be­yond dispute.“  The confusion over the Sol­daten‐Zeitung article ascribed to Senator Goldwater arose after controversy over an as­serted interview with the Sena­tor published last weekend by the Munich illustrated weekly, Revue.  In this, Senator Goldwater was quoted as endorsing a policy of ”brinksmanship,“ iden­tified with the late Secretary of State John Foster Dulles as ”a policy that your country and all successful countries have pursued for the last thousand years.“  He was further quoted as say­ing, ”One must always show that one is ready to take any risk if one wishes to be respected as fighting for peace.“ The Senator also was said to have observed that nowadays atomic bombs ”can practically be assembled in anybody's kitchen.“  Mr. Nellor, the Senator's press secretary, denied that there had been any ”interview“ with the Revue correspondent, Werner Holzer. Mr. Nellor said the Senator recalled talking to a German newspaperman at a rodeo at Prescott, Ariz., about three weeks earlier and being asked ”a few questions on the street.“  Mr. Holzer said in Bonn that  The Senator, he said, hesitat­ed for a moment, but then in­vited him to come over to a car and they talked for 10 to 15 minutes. Mr. Holzer said he could take no notes during the conversation ”because Barry would have run off,“ but he sat down immediately after to jot down Senator Goldwater's com­ments, which added up to an 18‐page report.  When the Soldaten‐Zeitung article became public Tuesday, Mr. Nellor said the Senator had received but never answered questions addressed to him on behalf of the weekly by Dr. Austin J. App, an associate professor of English at La Salle College in Philadelphia.  In Philadelphia yesterday, Dr. App, who is president of the Federation of American Citizens of German Descent, said he had suggested the ques­tions as the basis for an inter­view in behalf of the weekly May 27. He reiterated the re­quest July 18, and receiving no reply, visited Goldwater head­quarters in Washington on Wednesday, only to be sur­prised, at being told that an article had appeared under the Senator's name.  Dr. App's organization aims at an Atlantic Charter peace for the world, focusing espe­cially on Central Europe. The professor said he had sent two articles on American politics to Soldaten‐Zeitung.  One, published under the cap­tion, ”Welcome, Mr. Republi­can,“ he said, reported an ”in­creasing likelihood“ that Sena­tor Goldwater might defeat President Johnson.  ”If this were not so,“ he wrote, ”then both honorable Democrats and the vast horde of dishonorable ones, the leftists and crypto‐Communists, would not be so terrified by his nomination.“  He concluded that the ”op­position in shady quarters against Goldwater is that he is more for NATO than for Moscow, that he does not sub­scribe to the leftist slogan of 'better Red than dead,' that he wants the Soviets to practice democracy by liberating Central Europe before we bail them out of these difficulties with wheat deals or what have you.“  Dr. App said he did not know whether the second article had been published. In it he charged:  ”The foreign opposition to Goldwater appears to be an echo of The New York Times and The New York Herald Tribune, the only two American papers upon which Europeans seem to rely for their information about America. And these two papers, especially The New York Times, are soft on Communism and tinged with Morgenthauism.“  (Henry M. Morgenthau Jr., Secretary of the Treasury during the Roosevelt Adminis­tration, was considered a pro­ponent of a policy that would have turned Germany after World War II basically into an agricultural area).  In commenting on Represent­ative Miller's nomination for Vice President, Dr. App said friends had assured him that Mr. Miller ”has revised his ideas a great deal“ since he participated in the Nuremberg trials of Nazi German war criminals as an assistant prose­cutor.
