Election Roundup
Wallace Charges Treason'
WASHINGTON— Presidential
candidate George Wallace flung
a treason charge Monday at an
ti-war demonstrators who fly the
Viet Cong flag and march to
chants of “Ho, Ho, Ho Chi
Minh.”
Wallace drew a line between
opposition to U.S. involvement
in Vietnam and speeches call
ing for a Communist victory in
the war. One, he suggested, is
legitimate dissent, the other
“an overt act of treason.”
The former Alabama gover
nor spoke at a United Press
International newspaper editors
conference where he pledged,
if president, he would never
use nuclear weapons except in
self defense after an atomic
attack.
ERIE, Pa.—Democratic presi
dential nominee Hubert Hum
phrey delighted a crowd, esti
mated by police at 10,000 in this
industrial center Monday with a
series of free-swinging attacks
on his Republican rival, Rich
ard Nixon.
Humphrey charged that Nix
on “says one thing in the North
and another thing in the South”
and said the GOP nominee is
more interested in crowds, con
fetti and ticker tape than in
ideas and programs.
NEW YORK—Republican can
didate Nixon—showing a com
manding lead in the three - way
presidential race in two new
surveys—says people and not
vast new government programs
are the answer to city and pov
erty ills.
Massive new programs, Nixon
said in a Sunday night radio
broadcast in New York, would
only “drain the federal treas
ury to soothe the public con
science” and would fail.
Nixon said the reliance should
be on private enterprise, and
millions of Americans he said
stand ready to help if they knew
what to do.
“As government has strain
ed to do more,” he said, “our
people have left constrained to
do less.”
WASHINGTON—T h e Su -
preme Court refused Monday to
order California to put the
names of Sen. Eugene McCar
thy (D-Minn.) and Black Pan -
ther leader Eldridge Cleaver on
the presidential ballot next
month.
A McCarthy group, called Cal
ifornians for an Alternative in
November, had gathered only
190,000 signatures of the 300,
000 required under state law.
For this reason California
courts blocked their bid.
Cleaver, who sought ballot
space for his Peace and Free
dom party, was turned down
without comment. California
courts had ruled that at the age
of 33 he is not eligible to run
for president. The Constitution
puts the minimum age at 35.
WASHINGTON — Attorneys
for presidential candidate Wal
lace complained in the Su
preme Court Monday Ohio
"stands shamefully alone” in
denying a place for third party
candidates on its election bal
lot.
Wallace supporters took their
fight to the high court after a
three-man federal court in Day
ton ruled only that write-in
votes could be cast for the for
mer Alabama governor.
WASHINGTON — President
Johnson will speak on a Na
tional Co. network radio pro
gram Thursday night on be
half of the Democratic party and
its candidates, the White House
announced Monday.
This will be the first such na
tional radio appeal of the cam
paign by Johnson. So far he has
confined himself to a state
ment or two and to addresses
tinged with politics rather than
outright campaigning.
The Thursday night address
will be carried at 7:45 p.m.
EDT.

City Council.

SALEM—Secretary of State
Clay Myers said Monday he
has allowed three Democratic
legislative candidates in Mult
nomah County to change their
Voter’s Pamphlet material.

MEDFORD—Robert Pack -
wood, Republican candidate for
the U.S. Senate, says his oppo
nent has flip-flopped on the
controversy over national forest
yields. Sen. Wayne Morse, who
is seeking re-election, has said
his Senate Small Business Sub
committee will study national
forest management policy in
an effort to increase the annual
harvest. Packwood said Monday
“this is a marked change from
his position in 1966, when he
issued a ‘beware’ warning to
anyone seeking to increase the
allowable cut . . Packwood
favors an increased cut.

Where have
all the heroes gone?
JMHuaaHattaoara&oc-x-tox-X'UANV--'---.-.-.-.
A young woman cries out her agony to
The Brooklyn sky
As good citizens dim their lights
So they may watch unseen
The late show in the streets.
A pregnant mother is harassed by hoodlums
While spectators stand mutely by.
And the young men?
The young men stand aside
Too smart to get involved.
In the current lingo they "keep their cool".
Well, listen here
No great civilizations have been built
By men who kept their cool...
No frontiers conquered
No revolutions waged
No brave new societies forged
By men who kept their cool.
All of mankind's shining achievements
Have been propelled into being
By hot-blooded young men, fired by an idea.
When the heroes take to the sidelines
Civilizations decline and disappear.
Right now this country needs heroes
To stick out their necks
For better schools
Better housing
Better jobs
Better government.
It's up to you to take it on.
You are our life insurance.
