0 Parley Denied On Priorities
OTTAWA (CM-Premier Dull Roblin's idea for a federal-pro- vincial conference on govern- ment spending priorities has i turned down by Prime Minister Pearson.
Such a generalized discussion wouldn‘t have much practical value. Mr. P, rson said in a July 21 reply the Manitoba premier. The letter was r: public Thursday.
Meanwhile. the Prime Minis- ter had this to say about priori ties:
The provincee' short-run fi- nancial needs for education recognized when Ottawa a few months ago gave them greater access to the income tax field.

The n a ti on a1 contributory pension plan. slated for Parlia- mentary action this year. could
be put holding back anyth more important."
Goldwater conferred alone for 16 minutes Friday and agree that. “racial tensions should be avoide " in the campaign ahead.
White House Press Secretary George Reedy gave that ac- count of their talk after Gold~ water slipped in and out of the White House without seeing re. porters.
"The president met with Sen ator Goldwater and reviewed the steps he had taken to anfl the incitement of racial ten- sions." Reedy said.
"Senator Goldwater ex- pressed his position. which was that racial tensions should he avoided." Reedy said,
"Both agreed on this post- fioh." he added.
STATEMENT REVIEWED Reedy said Johnson and Gold- water both reviewed the brief statement before it was issued. “It was reviewed with Sen- ator Goldwater." Reedy said. "He was aware him we were going in lane this statement." He would not out in de- tail the tension - averting steps Johnson mentioned at the meet-
i g.
Two hours before the meet- ing. Johnson told a press con- ference he doesn't see how civil rights can be removed as a campaign issue. He said he had no plans to make a pact with Goldwater to avoid civrl rights are an issue.
