Humphrey claims trend 'absolutely' shifted to him
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Hubert H. Humphrey said yesterday that the voting trend "absolutely" has shifted to him in the climactic weeks of the presidential campaign and began his final nationwide swing with a prediction of victory Nov. 5.
"The trends indicate we are on the move and in politics the trends are vital," Humphrey said. "The trends are absolutely in our favor."
Interviewed on NBC's Meet the Press, the Vice President said: "I intend to win. We have been on the rise and there has been great momentum."
Nixon—
"We find that a good many of the undecided voters are Democrats, and that many of them are coming back into the party fold, just as they did for Truman in 1948," Gallup said.
The Gallup poll reported Sunday that Humphrey gained five percentage points since mid-October and now trails Republican Richard Nixon 36 to 44 per cent. Fifteen per cent was given George Wallace, who lost 5 percentage points.
In an interview in U.S. News & World Report, pollster George Gallup said he would not "rule out" the possibility of a Humphrey victory similar to Harry Truman's 1948 upset win.
NEW YORK (UPI)—Republican presidential candidate Richard M. Nixon Sunday defended his vice-presidential running mate against charges that his interest in a Maryland bank conflicted with his duties as a city official in Baltimore and as governor of Maryland.
"This is the lowest kind of gutter politics that a great newspaper could indulge in." Nixon said of an editorial in the Saturday edition of the New York Times that claimed Spiro T. Agnew was the "political and financial partner of a group of wealthy land speculators" while he held public office.
Nixon said that a "legal demand" for a retraction of the allegations would be made Monday.
Nixon said the charges in the Times were "inaccurate," based on information that was several years old, and that Gov. Agnew had since divested himself of all property which would conflict with his public duties.
Nixon was asked about the charges in an appearance on CBS's Face the Nation.
The Times editorial said that Agnew's association with the Chesapeake National bank "involves clear and repeated conflicts of interest" and said that Agnew falsely explained during his campaign for governor of Maryland two years ago that he had inherited the stock from his father.
Wallace—
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (UPI)— Gov. George Wallace, irked by a drop in his poll standings, spent Sunday at home, his last day of rest before the Nov. 5 election.
Wallace returned here Saturday after a week-long campaign trip that took him into the Midwest and Southern border states, then to New York for an appearance in Madison Square Garden.
He opens his last week of campaigning Monday with rallies in Hannibal, Mo., and Beaumont, Tex. When a Gallup poll Saturday showed Wallace's
strength dwindling from 20 to 15 per cent, the former Alabama governor renewed his attack on the polls, which he said are controlled by "Eastern money interests" that want to ensure the election of Richard Nixon.
Wallace said if elected he would ask Congress to investigate the polls.
In the fourth of a series of position statements, Wallace called Saturday for increased social security benefits and the restoring of the social security trust fund to a sound financial basis.
He urged improvement in medicine and said wherever possible federal grants should be administered through existing state and local government agencies so that federal agencies which duplicate their efforts can be eliminated.
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI)—Republican vice-presidential candidate Spiro T. Agnew spent almost all yesterday relaxing out of the public eye.
