HHH wants bombing halt
By United Press International
By United Press International Hubert H. Humphrey told the nation on television Monday night that if elected president he would halt the bombing of North Vietnam if Hanoi would give some signal of "good faith."
The vice president, in a lengthy reststatement of his Vietnam views, did not specify what kind of evidence from North Vietnam he would need before ordering a bombing halt, but he appeared to move a bit further from the Johnson administration policies.
"As president, I would stop the bombing of the North as an acceptable risk for peace because I believe it could lead to success in the negotiations and a shorter war," Humphrey said.
"In weighing that risk—and before taking action—I would place key importance on evidence direct or indirect, by deed or word, of Communist willingness to restore the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Vietnam," he added.
The Democratic candidate said he also would try to get South Vietnam to take over a greater share of the fighting so that American troops could start coming home. He promised not to escalate the war either in South or North Vietnam.
Humphrey's Republican rival, Richard M. Nixon, was in Detroit for a statewide telecast and a meeting Tuesday with Michigan Gov. George Romney on urban problems.
A key Nixon aide, Robert Ellsworth, issued a statement denying a charge by GOP Sen. Mark Hatfield of Oregon that Nixon has avoided taking stands on Vietnam and other issues in the campaign. But the statement promised that Nixon would spell out his position in more detail during the remaining five weeks before the election.
George C. Wallace, the third party candidate, rode through downtown Chicago before an estimated 100,000 persons at noontime. Wallace proposed that rural areas be industrialized to provide training and jobs for the unskilled and to stem the flow of people from the countryside to the crowded cities.
In other developments:
Edmund S. Muskie—The Democratic vice-presidential candidate said Nixon was "somewhat of a modulated Wallace" in his appeal for law and order. Muskie said Nixon and Wallace were two of the most "reactionary" political figures in America.
Spiro T. Agnew—Nixon's running mate, campaigning in Toledo, Ohio, accused Atty. Gen Ramsey Clark of downplaying
