Nixon tapes may provide new evidence in assassination attempt
MONTGOMERY. Ala. (AP) — A
spokesman for former Gov George Wal
lace on Monday called for the release of
every tape from President Nixon's White
House on the 1972 assassination attempt
on Wallace, following a report that such
tapes exist
Unreleasod White House tapes show
that Nixon wanted to use the attempted
assassination of Wallace to discredit
George McGovern's 1972 Democratic
presidential campaign. The New Yorker
magazine reported Monday.
Elvln Stanton, Wallace's chief aide,
said the former governor believes "high
er-up officials" were involved in a con
spiracy to eliminate him from ihe 1972
presidential race. Stanton said the New
Yorker report underscores the need for
an investigation
Wallace, who was seeking the Demo
cratic presidential nomination, was shot
May 15, 1972. during a campaign stop in
Laurel. Md.. leaving his legs paralyzed.
The New Yorker said Nixon and White
House counsel Charles Colson discussed
planting McGovern campaign literature
in tho Milwaukee apartment of would-be
assassin Arthur Bremer wtthln hours of
the shooting.
The expectation was that the discovery
of the Democratic campaign material in
the apartment could be leaked In such a
way as to appear to link McCovern and
his allies to the Wallace shixjting. the
magazine said
Bui the idea fizzled because the FBI
quickly sealed off Bremer's apartment,
according to the article by journalist Sey -
mour M Mersh
Nixon lawyer K. Stan Mortnnson de
clined to comment on The New Verier
story.
The tapes reportedly am among hun
dreds of hours of recordings from the
Nixon's White Mouse recording system
that am held in secret at the National Ar
chives
Stanton said efforts by Nixon's White
House to get operative F Howard Hunt
to Bremer's apartment have been report
od previously But he said Wallace had
not known that recordings existed of
Nixon talking about it
jstunton said Wallace, 73, wno is in
poor health, would have no comment on
the report But he said Wallace "Is not
satisfied that everything has been re
vealed that should have boon revealed"
concerning the shooting.
"I'd like to srni every bit of the tapes
and other evidence . and those Involved
in obstruction of justice prosecuted.”
said Stanton
He said Wallace "has said on occasion
there are faces he has in his mind of
higher-up ofTit lals who were involved in
such a conspiracy. But he would not
mention any names Ixicause he doesn't
have any proof "
