Sen. Barry M. Goldwater, said Thursday he was firmly and comhimpletely disassociating self with Scotts plea for a unilateral American cease-fir- e in Vietnam. Furthermore, he suggested that the next time Scott makes a recommendation about Vietnam, he make it clear he does not speak for all Senate Republicans. Goldwaters Senate speech was the first conservative in public about complaint Scott since the eastern liberal narrowly defeated Sen. Howard H. Baker Jr., last month for the leadership post. Conservatives, who warned Scott would be out of step with the administration, generally were pleased with Scotts performance in his first weeks in office partic-- u d a r 1 y his attack on antiwar critics who he said want to bug out of 1 sharp-tongue- Vietnam.
