Wallace SILVER SPRING, Md. (AP) George C. Wallace ended days of hospitalization today with thanks to those who "saved my life" and sped toward resumption of his governorship in Alabama and his quest for the presidency in Miami Beach. "I feel good, I feel great," Wallace declared. The disabled governor was pushed in his wheelchair to a limousine amidst the applause of several score spectators for a motorcade to nearby Andrews Air Force Base and the flight south in an Air Force hospital plane.

But Wallace, wounded May 15 at a political rally in Laurel, first paused briefly to thank government and hospital officials and staff members for the care they accorded him.

They saved my life, and I wish God's blessings to all of them." As he shook hands with hospital staffers and other well-wishers, and saluted toward news photographers, it almost seemed as if he were already back on the campaign trail for the Democratic presidential nomination.
