Such a program, he said would need the services of "every engineer, every aero space worker, every college graduate, every machinist verv electronics worker the labor of every man and woman in this country who is physically able to work." MR. NKON, expressing deep concern over a commuter train accident in Chicago in which at least 41 persons were killed, canceled plans to fly to that city today for a campaign motorcade.

Democratic vice-presidential nominee Sargent Shriver meanwhile sought the support of Jewish voters in Los Angeles with promises that McGovern as President would defend the security of Israel and press the Soviet Union to allow Jewish citizens freely to emigrate. Shriver said Mr. Nixon de cided only in this election year to sell arms to Israel and that he missed an opportunity to help Soviet Jews by tackling this issue during negotiations for a trade package with the USSR. IN OTHER developments: John Ehrlichman, principal domestic adviser to President Nixon, said a directive soliciting FBI information for use in the Nixon campaign was sent out by a Justice Department subordinate, but that he ordered the operation halted. Ehrlichman said the FBI must be kept nonpolitical but the Justice Department itself, headed by a political appoin tee, is "responsive to the po litical system." Handicapped Group Is Supporting Hudnut Senator George McGovern assailed President Nixon yes terday for vetoing amend ments to the Older Americans Act and other domestic legis lation.

But Mr Nixon con tended that under his administration Social Security has been made inflation-proof. Mr. Nixon spoke in a paid political radio broadcast after he signed a $6-billion bill expanding a variety of Social Se-curlty benefits. McGovern, campaigning earlier in Con necticut and Pennsylvania, nroDosed the title "Mr Veto" for the President. MR.

NIXON promised to push next year for property- tax relief for older Americans and for the comprehensive welfare reform which Con gress deleted from the Social Security bill. McGovern had begun hammering at earlier vetoes before Mr. Nixon announced his intention of signing the Social Security measure, but letting hills for a National Institute on Aging and to provide public- service jobs and various services for the elderly die on the erounds they were too expen sive and ineffective. These pocket vetoes administered after the lawmakers adjourned were shocking, McGovern said. He said Con gress would have overridden them if it had the opportunity.

"In an effort to obtain the votes of more than 20 million older Americans, Mr. Nixon's TV campaign advertisements are filled with pious promises, most of which are plainly untrue and most of which have been flatly contradicted by this veto today," McGovern said in Pittsburgh. WITHOUT mentioning the vetoes directly Mr. Nixon said the Older Americans Act will continue to be perfected, interim financing is available and budgeting under the law has increased eightfold during his term of office. Most important, he said, was the provision for automatic cost-of-living increases in Social Security benefits Congress enacted earlier and "which I have been pushing for many years." "Social Security, in short, is now inflation-proof," he said.

Speaking to union and political leaders in Hartford, McGovern also contended he has a plan to take up any employment slack caused by the end of the Vietnam war; he said Mr. Nixon does not have such a plan. McGovern proposed a wide Indorsement Of Democrats Is Denounced Don W. Mantooth of Indian apolis, Marion County chairman of Citizens for Wallace, denounced yesterday an indorsement of the state Democratic ticket made last week by Robert Rhodes of Misha- waka. Mantooth commended personally, though not as spokesman for his group, the candi dacies of Berryman S.

Hurley for governor, Dr. Helen Calvin for Congress in the Third District, and Otis Yarnell for state senator from the 35th District, all on the American Independent Party ticket. RHODES attended the Democratic National Convention and is state chairman of Citizens for Wallace. Mantooth said in a news release that supporters of Alabama Governor George Wallace in the Indiana presidential primary will not accept Rhodes' reasoning that they should back the Democratic ticket this fall merely because five Wallace delegates were allowed to represent Indiana by the regular organization. GETS UNMAILED GOP LETTER Who's 1st To Know? Why, St.

Angelo! By PAUL M. DOHERTY One telegram-style letter out of more than a million intended to be mailed to Hoosiers on behalf of Republican candidates ended up in the hands of the Democratic state chairman yesterday, even before the letters were mailed. But the message, over the typed signature of President Richard M. Nixon, was obtained not through planned political espionage but from a Democrat who got it from a Republican friend, Gordon St. Angelo, the Democratic chief, reported.

JAMES T. Neal, Republican state chairman, said he had not yet seen a specimen of the letters by late afternoon yesterday. But it was his understanding that the letters were to transported to Washington, D.C., yesterday and mailed Jrom there, he added. I Robert L. Erbrich, president of Commercial Computing Corporation, which did the addressing, would not comment on the situation except to say that the letters "passed through inany hands." The letter St.

Angelo had asked the voter to support Otis R. feowen, the GOP gubernatorial nominee, and United States Representative William G. Bray (R-Ind.) of the Sixth District. v. It was addressed to "Ms.

Dorothy Weymouth" of the Martinsville area. Mrs. Weymouth later said she never had received such a letter. -ST. ANGELO referred to the letter as "a fictitious-looking telegram," and said the $88,000 postal cost for that mailing alone illustrates that the Rupublicans in the state are outspend-iDg the Democrats 3 to 1." iNeal said be does not know how the Democrats could have obtained a copy of a letter addressed to a paricular but the messages are properly authorized, by the President's re-election committee.

Bowen Accuses Foe Of Education 'Politics9 A group of 15 handicapped individuals yesterday indorsed William H. Hudnut, the Uth District Republican congressional nominee, over his opponent, Representative Andrew Jacobs Jr. Calling themselves the Handicapped Committee for Hudnut, the group issued a statement saying, "Hudnut, because of his experience and profession, is best able to voice the concerns and future hopes of all handicapped citizens in the 11th District." RICHARD W. EYSTER II is chairman of the special committee. The statement also expressed hopes "that through this expression of support, other handicapped persons in the community will consider and support" Hudnut.

Hudnut Friday proposed special legislation to provide a special Federal income tax credit for businesses which hire the handicapped.

Food And Drug Measures Draw Support At Hearing the Justice Department to In' vestigate reports that the Dem ocratic Party may be trying to settle its old debts for 25 cents on the dollar. Dole said in a statement such a practice might violate the Corrupt Prac tices Act. McGovern's campaign direc tor, Lawrence F. O'Brien, described the Democrats for Nixon organization as "nothing more than a dummy Republican committee, bankrolled almost entirely from the Finance Committee to Re elect President Nixon." O'Brian said reports of the General Accounting Office show that more than 87 per cent of the receipts of the committee headed by former Treasury Secretary John B.

"The quickest way for that appropriate growth potential (of the state) to be jeopardized is for partisan politics to be injected into Indiana's higher education system development," Bowen said in prepared remarks for an Ev-a i 1 1 Chamber of Commerce meeting. "My opponent has attempted to make that injection.

He has attempted to make post-high school education a partisan football for him to kick pass and fumble. "PARTISAN politics has not been a factor in the development of Indiana's post-high school education system in the past. It is not now in the present, and I do not believe that it should ever be so in the future."

"The position of superintendent is of tremendous importance in state government.

In remarks prepared for delivery at South Bend, Lugar said that Welsh, the Democratic nominee for governor, proposes new state programs on drug abuse, but did not perform in that area as governor in the 1061-65 period. In contrast, the 1971 General Assembly under Bowen's leadership set- up the drug-abuse division in the Department of Mental Health, Lugar said.

TARPEY City officials are vacillating over a decision whether to require some local government employes to be on the job election day if they are not working at the polls, it was learned yesterday. A decision to allow all employes a day off next Tuesday would be contrary to a policy started in 1971. The policy stipulated that those not working at the polls were to be on their regular jobs. COMPOUNDING the problem is the fact that about 372 local government employes are employed under the Federal Hatch Act, which states that persons paid with Federal money may not participate in partisan politics. A report that about 50 Hatch Act employes of the federally funded Community Services Program had been told by their supervisors to work at the campaign headquarters of a Republican congressional candidate was denied by top city officials.
