WASHINGTON CAP) - TV
final phase of the race for the
Republican presidential nomi-
nation gets under way Friday
amid indications that Sen. Bar-
ry Goldwater of Arizona is only
a whisker away from a first-
ballot victory,
■ Washington state Republicans
open their convention and dele-
gates to the GOP National
Convention will be chosen in
two Colorado districts Friday
By Saturday night some C
delegates will be chosen in
Washington. Colorado. Alabama
and Hawaii, and political ob-
servers will be better able to
gauge the impact of Goldwa-
ter’s victory In Tuesday's Oil-
ifomia primary.
That victory gave him M del-
egates from the Golden State,
boosting his first ballot strength
in The Associated Press survey
of delegates already chosen to
446. That contrasted with a
claim of 454 by Goldwater’s
headquarters.
A spot check Wednesday of
political leaders in most of the
IS states and Puerto Rico,
where a total of 258 delegates
remain to be chosen, showed
Goldwater la expected to win
between 140 and 190. And an-
other 25 or so of these unchosen
delegates could wind up In the
senator's comer before the
GOP convention opens July
in San Francisco.
If he fulfills these estimates,
Goldwater would march into
the convention with from 625 to
650 first-ballot votes, just shy
of the 655 needed for the nom-
ination.
Goldwater backers who are
predicting a first-ballot nomina-
tion are looking closely at the
bloc of nominally uncom-
mitted or favorite-son votes, in-
cluding 58 in Ohio, 48 In Michi-
gan, 11 in New Jersey and 30
in Wiseomln-
They feel there is Goldwater
support in those delegations
which can be called on either
during or at the end of the first
roll call.
The AP survey of 1,050 dele-
gate* already chosen shows this
first-ballot lineup based on
pledges, primary commitments,
instructions and stated prefer-
ence: . ■■■■

Baytown Pays Expenses
But Not Like Pasadena
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -
Students staged antigovemment
•e Wjj
expense payments to members
of the Baytown City Council.
About 10 years ago, the coun-
cil started drawing 550-a-month
in expense money. This is per-
mitted by the city charter but
it does not specify any figure.
When Velma Ansiey first run
for- council four years ago, she
included in her platform a plank
calling for council members to
submit itemized expense ac -
counts instead of picking up a
check each month. The council
ident Chung Hee Park's Cabinet
threatened to place the entire
country under martial law.
More than 6,000 students over-
ran police lines in a rock-throw-
ing riot In Kwangju, 150 miles
south of Seoul. Police tried to
scatter the students with tear
gas, but they squatted in front
of the provincial government
building and shouted for Park's
resignation and the lifting of
martial law in Seoul.
Many students and policemen
were reported Injured.
Less violent demonstrations
broke out in Inchon, Pusan and
Chunchon. More than 2,000 high
school and college students
were involved.
Heavy troop reinforcements
kept Sebul quiet, enforcing mar-
tial law proclaimed by Park in
the capital after 30,000 students
and adults rioted Wednesday.
More than 600 police and dem-
onstrators were injured and 91
persons were arrested.
Some members of the present
council are receiving expense
money, but the amounts seldom
total $50-a-month, I
Mayor Lee Liggett has not ac-
cepted expense money from the
city since he was elected last
year, \
New members of the council
have not received any expense
payments since they were elect-
ed in April.
Council members can ,legally
where more than this amount
is spent on city business. For
example, when the council au-
thorized (Councilman Jack Hu-
ron and former Councilman
Tommy Cook, to investigate var-
ious city manager applicants
from other cities both were paid
expenses in excess of $50.
Except for mileage allowan-
ces, no other city employes re-
ceive expense checks. If sent
