ulation is that the test will be felt in China's remote Sinkiang province. The Chinese word to Asian and African governments ap-1 parently did not specify a date or deadline for the prospective blast. The Chinese diplomatic drive to prepare the way apparently has two major objectives. One is to try to overcome in advance any adverse reactions which would be expected from countries which have long opposed any kind of nuclear testing and have supported the limited nu. clear test ban treaty.

The second is believed here to be to build up Red Chinese prestige and in effect begin practicing a kind of atomic diplomacy even before the blast occurs. Actually Western officials say it will be five to 10 years before the Chinese have a stockpile of weapons and 1 adequate delivery systems--airplanes or rocketsqualify them as a true nuclear power. Paris reports said that the Chinese were informing countries in Africa and Asia that their first test bomb would be set off the end of October. Specitic countries mentioned in the Paris reports which came to the attention of the State Department included Guinea, Mall, Cambodia and Burma.

Denison Kitchel, his campaign director, credited Goldwater's victory over New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller in the June primary largely to the -efforts of hard -core supporters in rolling up an impressive Los Angeles County vote. "That's the way we won the primary and that's the way we're going to carry California next month," Kitchel said.

Goldwater himself obviously believes that he is changing the minds of some voters by his campaigning. Neither he nor Kitchel accepts at face value the polls which show Johnson in the lead in almost every section of the country. It is their belief that a great many people who are going to vote for the Republican nominee just aren't saying so at this point. They contend private polls show the number of voters who class themselves as cided is increasing, rather than decreasing, as the election nears. Part of the Republican strat.

legy is to play up the fortune that Johnson has accumulated during his political career. A national accounting firm hired by Johnson reported this at $3.5 million, but. Republicans insist this is far too low, noting that some estimates run as high as $14 million. The second step is to suggest that Johnson is covering up scandal within the tion.
