Final campaign week
Humphrey welcomes McCarthy's support
PITTSBURGH (UPI)—Hubert H. Humphrey yesterday jubilantly welcomed the support of Eugene J. McCarthy and said it would have a "decidedly good" effect on his campaign in the last seven days before the election.
Almost bubbling over with enthusiasm, Humphrey received the good news from his old Minnesota colleague early in the day before starting out on a long swing through Pennsylvania—from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia—in an effort to win the state's 29 electoral votes.
At two points during the trip, Humphrey underscored his intention, if elected, to be his own President, instituting new ideas on Vietnam policy and divorcing himself from personalities in the Johnson administration.
Humphrey took his campaign to East Pittsburgh and McKeesport. He spoke to several thousand workers at the Westinghouse Corp.'s East Pittsburgh works and again at the National Tube Works of U.S. Steel Corp. in McKeesport.
Humphrey told the Westinghouse and U.S. Steel workers Richard M. Nixon "has become the No. 1 doubletalker of all times."
He said Nixon "had the gall to come here yesterday and call for federal aid to parochial schools when he voted to kill it."
Humphrey, who long had hoped for the McCarthy endorsement, said there was no way to measure how much it would mean in votes.
"But the senator has many supporters and friends throughout the nation," Humphrey said. "I believe these people who have listened to him on other subjects will listen to him on this subject."
Nixon
DETROIT (UPI)—Richard M. Nixon labeled a "man of the old opponent a "man of the old
politics" yesterday and said the Democrats had missed their chance for new leadership.
Nixon's comments were an obvious allusion to Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy's endorsement of Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey.
"They could have nominated a man of new leadership but they didn't," Nixon told campaign crowds as he wound through Detroit suburbs. "Instead, they nominated a man of the old politics."
This was the politics, Nixon said, which would continue to let American prestige sink, continue a war without resolution and continue a security gap between the United States and the Soviet Union.
During his 50 mile tour of the Detroit metropolitan area, Nixon pegged his appeals to what he considers one of his main sources of support—the suburbanites, the "forgotten Americans" who pay their taxes and do not engage in riots.
In Dearborn, where Humphrey recently peeled off his coat and made a handshaking tour of the Ford Motor Company's River Rouge assembly line, Nixon paused briefly at a high school and waved 60 about 1,000 students.
Nixon stopped in for a visit to a community self-help project in a Detroit ghetto area, the scene of racial rioting in the summer of 1967. In the suburbs, he touched on the law and order issue.
"Forty-three per cent of all American people said in a poll they were afraid to walk the streets of their cities at night." Nixon said.
"I make this one pledge to the younger generation. The wave of crime will not be the wave of the future."
Nixon is stepping up his attacks on Humphrey during the
final week of the campaign, characterizing him and his party as "disorganized rabble" who cannot manage their own affairs.
Wallace
ENID, Okla. (UPI) - George Wallace, visiting oil-rich Oklahoma, said yesterday offshore jurisdictions for coastal states should be equalized at 10 miles to insure equal treatment for drilling oil.
Specifically affected would be California, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, which now have territorial limits set at three miles.
In a statement issued as he arrived for a rally, Wallace pointed out that Florida and Texas already have offshore jurisdiction set at 10 miles by treaties and constitutional mandates.
"It is only reasonable that all coastal states receive treatment at least equal to Texas and Florida," the third party candidate said. "A uniform jurisdictional limit is essential to the orderly and equitable development of our coastal waters."
Wallace brushed aside questions about the oil depletion allowance. "All these matters ought to be appraised and looked into," he told newsmen.
lace stressed the importance of conserving oil reserves, but added there should be limits on oil imports.
Wallace voluntarily disclosed that he has spent $5.8 million on his third-party campaign for the
presidency, most of it received in contributions of less than $100 each from through out the country.
The VP's
CHARLESTON, S.C. (UPI)—Republican vice president candidate Spiro T. Agnew, campaigning in the South, made no
direct mention yesterday of his current battle with the New York Times, which printed an editorial leveling conflict of interest charges at him.
He did say, however, that "It's been interesting being the lightning rod in this campaign . . . it's like being an honorary punching bag."
