McGovern Charges Peace Overdue; President to Make Peace Tour
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) -- George McGeeGovern greeted reports of an imminent Vietnam war and demanded that President Nixon tell why it took "another four years to put an end to this tragic story."
Reacting to the new peace reports much as he had to peace rumors earlier in the week, McGovern told cheerers at a university campus that he hoped "peace will come at long last."
But he sounded the same theme he had earlier in the day in Detroit, saying he hoped that President Nixon "will not now permit General Thieu to stand in front of a settlement of this war."
IN HIS speech at the University, where a grassy courtyard holding 10,000 people overflooded by water from roofs of adjoining buildings, McGovern said, "I know that everyone in this audience shares my views. These reports will turn out to be true and that peace will at long last come to this tragic part of the world." Mr. Kwan haunts my mind this afternoon," he said, "is this: Why, Mr. Nikon, did you take another four years to learn about it."
NOTING THE South
Vietnamese have said that the
United States wouldn't dictate
peace terms, McGovarnal said the
new U.S. president, Gen.
Thieu, you are not going to
dicate any more战力 to us."
MGovern said the proposals outlined Thursday were "very similar to those accepted by the White House," and with all my heart that Mr. Nikon will not permit Gen. Thieu to walk of a settlement to this war."
MGovern said he had not been informed by the White House of development efforts in Iraq and foreign affairs adviser, Paul Warwick, was trying to arrange an appointment at the US embassy yet nothing has been arranged.
McGovern spent the morning in a television studio, taping a show he co-created to simulate a debate with Nixon by matching recent films of Nixon with live McGovern comments. When, or whether, it will be used,
WITH 12 DAYS to go before the election, McGovern is concentrating heavily on television with paid spots.
Even if everything breaks right for the Democratic nominee, by and large, Mr. Bush's squeeze to amass the needed 270 electoral votes. His managers are also a big part of the squeeze.
wins a national popular majority.
In order to win, McGovern would probably have to capture Kentucky or the largest states besides Texas—California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan—while adding another 48 from Wisconsin, New Jersey, South Dakota, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia.
In just about all of these states, except perhaps Alabama and Dakota, and the District, even McGovorm's strategy thinks hegame.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- AIMID A
developments, President Nikon
prepared Thursday for a quick,
two-stop political forum in West
Virginia.
Six hours before his scheduled departure, the White House disclosed Nixon would land first in Huntington, WVa., for an airport rally before flying 15 miles to Ashland, Ky.
The original plan had him visiting only Ashland for a rally intended to bolster his campaign in three states—Kentucky, West Virginia and Oklahoma.
Ashland is across the river from Ohio and 10 miles from the West Virginia border.
In the hours before his scheduled departure. Nixon was
pondering the administration's request that he said presidential adviser Henry Kissinger had agreed to a cease-fire plan but later asked for the suspension of his role.
Nikon, sporting a big lead in the polls, has limited his re-election campaign to radio speeches and occasional one-day trips.
A half-day of campaigning Monday in New York's white-collar suburbs was his first political appearance in 10 days. He plans to motorcade through a dozen northern Ohio cities on Monday.
Kentucky and Ohio, two of Thursday's target states, are rated as solidly in the Nixon column.
