Thanks doctors Friday, July 7, 1972 The Manhattan Mercury A3 Wallace leaves hospital after 54 days SILVER SPRING, Md. (AP) George C. Wallace ended 54 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 of 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. In an accompanying written statement at Holy Cross Hospital Wallace said "Sister Helen Marie, the doctors, sisters and staff of the hospital will always hold a very dear place in my heart. 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. Wallace's plane, a Military Aircraft Command jet, took off for from Andrews Air Force base at 10:04 a.m. Those accompanying Wallace include his wife Cornelia and two daughters, Peggy Sue and Lee.

Drs. Joseph Schanno and Herman Maganzini, who have treated Wallace at Holy Cross, and Dr. George Traugh and Judy Gantry, rehabilitation specialists from the University of Alabama's Birmingham Medical Center, also are going. Billy Joe Camp, the governor's press secretary, said Wallace's Miami Beach hotel room has been Names acting MCC academic dean Charles L.

Professor Gilliam has been a member of the faculty since 1968 and Dean of Students since 1969. Dean Gilliam has been recom- mended by the faculty to President Lown and approved by the Board of Trustees. He will serve in this acting role until a permanent appointment is made.

They reside at 2633 Kimball Avenue. furnished with physical-therapy equipment. Special ramps built to accommodate Wallace's wheelchair have been installed at the convention hall.

He remains crippled from a spinal wound, but can walk with the aid of braces and a walking bar. Welcoming rallies were planned during his stop at a Montgomery airport and upon his arrival at Miami International Airport. Wallace's mother, who is recuperating from major surgery, will meet the plane in Montgomery for her first visit with Wallace since he was shot, aides said. A band will be playing as the governor is wheeled down a ramp to the ground. Plans also call for Wallace to make a brief first since the reboarding the plane to continue to Miami Beach.

Sen. George McGovern, frontrunner in the Democratic campaign, visited Wallace Thursday for what aides described as purely a social call.

The confusion of the past week was CIA has tried rainmaking in Vietnam WASHINGTON (AP) The Central Intelligence Agency has tried rainmaking over the Ho Chi Minn trail of Southern Laos but with only indifferent results, military sources report. the CIA declined comment on the reports, which indicated the experiments were conducted in past dry seasons along with other U.S. efforts to hinder supply truck movements from North Vietnam to communist troops in South Vietnam and Cambodia.

The sources hinted the CIA's operations, which presumably involved seeding clouds with silver- iodide crystals or other compounds, were carried out by the CIA own aircraft and by Air Force planes assigned to work with the agency. At his news conference Thursday, Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird said his department "is not and has not been engaged in any weather- modification programs or activities over North Vietnam." Laird omitted any mention of Laos, Cambodia or South Vietnam. When asked about this, he told reporters: "I'm not going to discuss further operations along that line." From time to time, some members of Congress and of the scientific community have expressed uneasiness over reported ventures by the United States into weather warfare. U.S.

military scientists were researching in this field at least 10 years ago. In early 1962, Vice Adm. William F. Raborn wrote in the U.S. Naval Institute proceedings that "we already have taken our first steps toward developing an environmental-warfare capability." Raborn, at that time the Navy's development chief, later became a high CIA official.

"Large-scale weather-control techniques might be used to cause extreme flooding in strategic areas or even to bring a new ice age upon the enemy," Raborn wrote. Laird has discussed in public military rainmaking programs such as were used to help alleviate drought in Texas and the Philippines. "Sometimes they are successful, sometimes they are not," the Defense secretary said Thursday. One official told a reporter: "It did rain in the Philippines but you couldn't prove it was anything but an act of God."

One final quote, from Gudmundur Thorarinsson, president of the Chess Federation sighed: hope." That was Tuesday. It could have been any day in the garbled prelude to Icelandic Chess Federation, who was what chess lovers say is the match of under pressure from Fischer to give the century Spassky of the U.S.S.R. up a share of the gate receipts: vs Fischer of the U.S.A.

At one news conference, one of Fischer's lawyers said he'd come to say he had nothing to say.
