Ludington Daily News, Friday, August 23, 1968. Wallace Storms VFWConvention By JUDITH SERRIN DETROIT (UPI) An Ala bama veteran stormed the ramparts of the national convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars here Thursday. He was former Gov. George C. Wallace, the American Independent Party's candidate for the presidency, and lie was popular.

Wallace was introduced to the convention as "an example of the American dream come true," the poor boy who made it big. Many of the 8,000 in the audience seemed to agree. They interrupted his 50-minute -speech with applause 19 times, and then surged around him to shake hands as he tried to leave. In contrast. Spiro T.

Agnew, the Republican vice presidential candidate who spoke to the convention Wednesday, was applauded by a smaller crowd only five times and was received calmly. It is not so much what Wallace stands for as what he is against that won the veterans' support. Things like "briefcase bureaucrats in Washington," crime in the streets, communists, anarchists, revolutionaries, the "sick Supreme Court" and what he sees is a weak U.S. military position. Law And Order This is a convention that has passed resolutions urging 10- year terms- for Supreme Court members and opposing further unilateral bombing cutbacks against North Vietnam.

The greatest problem in the country today, Wallace said, is the lack of law and order. "Order must be restored," he said. "The problem of our cities can't be solved unless we have order. "Those who want us to lose the war in Vietnam are the same ones who incite breakdowns of law and order in our country," he said. Wallace said in an interview later that he thought a police state was needed "for those who would grab you and mug you," and that the police needed a freer hand in law enforcement.

When he is elected president, Wallace said, he will ask Congress to repeal Supreme Court decisions that have hampered police. Several Negro delegates walked out of the Cobo Hall convention center as the governor was speaking. "We just don't like some of the things he's saying," one delegate explained. About 30 young people marched briefly in front of the hall with signs such as "Wallace supports hate." But there also were two vendors selling "Win with Wallace" buttons. And they were selling pretty well.

Give A Choice Wallace says he doesn't need the backing of politicians because he has the support of the little people, the man in the street. He said these people should have the freedom of choice in conducting their everyday lives and not have to kowtow to a "federal guideline writer." They should be able to send their children to any school they want and to sell their house to whomever they want, he continued. Wallace also said a large majority of congressmen, three- fourths or more, basically agree with his philosophy. "If I'm elected, it's going to give a lot of people in Congress a chance to do some things they have wanted to do for a long time," he said. "I'm afraid they may overreact."

Delegate Seats Questioned LANSING (UPI) -Area supporters of Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy were poised today to force a floor fight over the seating of four Michigan delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Zolton Ferency, former state Democratic chairman, and congressional candidate James A.

Harrison said they would seek to carry their challenge to the convention itself if the credentials committee rejects their protest. Ferency and Harrison contend the four Sixth District delegates all of whom back Hubert H. the official 96 vote Michigan contingent were illegally selected at a secret caucus last June. They claim the "real, legal, caucus actually chose two delegates favorable to McCarthy, one supporting the late Sen. Robert F.

Kennedy and one aligned with Humphrey. Ferency, who resigned as an alternate delegate after charging the Michigan group was stacked with Humphrey boosters, said all details of the twin caucuses would be presented to the credentials committee. "We'll lay it on the line and hope for the the outlook is not very promising," he said. "If we are turned down, there is no other recourse than to file a minority report with the convention and ask the convention as a whole to act on it." Ten per cent, or 11 votes, of the credentials committee would be needed to approve presentation of the issue on the floor. Harrison said there are about 34 committee members in the McCarthy camp.

"It's entirely possible that the issue will be decided not on right or wrong, or on a legal or illegal basis, but on the basis of votes on the credentials committee," Fere- jicy said. He added that Gov. Richard Hughes of New Jersey, the committee chairman, is an "administration man" and would probably go along with whatever Humphrey supporters want. Harrison likewise was not optimistic. "But if all the facts were known," he said, "there would be no question as to which delegates should be seated." HOSPITAL NOTES Admitted Thursday, Aug.

Msgr, Joseph C. Walen, director of Catholic Social Services for the Diocese of Grand Rapids, announces that a full-time caseworker has been assigned to provide social services to the residents of Mason County.

Prior to the appointment of Charles A. Bader, M.S.W., to supervise this branch office, caseworkers from the Muskegon division traveled to Ludington to serve the area on a part-time basis. The demand for more services to the area made this move necessary. Catholic Social Services provides family and marriage counseling and individual counseling, service to unmarried mothers, foster home care and group home care, besides complete adoption services. Bader's territory will cover Manistee, Lake and Wexford counties besides Mason County which will comprise the future West Shore Division of Catholic Social Services.

Headquarters are located at 1105 S. Washing- Ave. in Ludington. Bader has been employed at the Traverse City Division of Catholic Social Services since October 1963 and has been supervising the adoption program there for the past three years. He is a graduate of Central Michigan University, holds a graduate certificate in social work from the University of Utah and a Masters Degree in Social Work from Michigan State.

A native of Saginaw, Bader has worked for the Washington State Department of Public Assistance for eight years and was the executive secretary for the Wenatchee branch office of Catholic Family and Child Service, Diocese of Yakima, Wash, for five years before his return to Michigan. Bader, his wife and seven children, currently reside at 419 N. Gaylord Ave. "We haven't even started yet and we already have an active caseload of 45 cases in this territory," Bader said, "so you can see how necessary it was to get the agency's services closer to the people who live We will be starting a recruitment campaign for foster homes this fall and also a recruitment campaign for volunteer workers in Given Good Conduct Medal Dewyer recently was awarded a special good conduct medal as an outstanding airman during his three years of duty.
