Northwart TIMES, Monday, JfuTy JJ, 1941 Three TV Confrontations Between McCarthy And Humphrey Proposed WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy's camp has proposed three national television confrontations with Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey on "the issues confronting and dividng the nation and the party" from Vietnam to economics. Both the Democratic presidential rivals agreed during a weekend filled with pre-national convention political activity to join in at least one televised discussion, but there was little agreement on details.

Other developments included a report Humphrey had turned down a suggestion that he resign the vice presidency to show independence from the Johnson administration. And California Gov. Ronald Reagan said he "couldn't possibly" announce as a GOP presidential contender before the party's convention. Blair Clark, McCarthy's cam paign director, Sunday proposed separate McCarthy-Humphrey televised discussions on foreign policy, domestic and economic policy, and the candidates' concepts of the presidency and government. Humphrey aides favored a confrontation the before the Democratic National Convention begins Aug.

26 but McCarthy's people said it should be earlier to permit delegates and the public to analyze what they hear. The two sides also disagreed on what to call the meeting. Humphrey's people used the term "discussion" and although McCarthy aides were not saying as In the past, they said their man wanted "the freest and clearest" exchange of views. There had been new talk Rea- Director Hired For Sheltered Workshop Here Hiring of a director for a sheltered workshop in Fayette- viUe to train the physically and mentally handicapped has been announced by J. Austin Parish, chariman of the personnel com' mittee of Abilities Unlimited of Northwest Arkansas.

The new director, to assume duties Aug. 5, is Joe T. Roddy, a 1951 a a of the University of Arkansas with a B. S. A.

degree. His wife, Maxine, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H.

Gibson of Fayette' ville. They have two children, and plan to move here soon from Jonesboro, where he is employed with the Crane Company. The workshop received approval last week of a federal grant for a total project cost of $34,000, of which local support of $8,500 must be supplied. Board members are seeking availability of a temporary building location to be used by the workshop until another proposed permanent location is vacated. might announce as an ac- live GOP presidential contender but he repeated on arrival he would not become one before his nomination as a favorite-son al the convention.

"I couldn't possibly a Jhange on that at this time," Reagan said. "We'll go to the convention and then it's up to the delegates." But Michigan Gov. George Romney said: "I consider he's a pretty active candidate now. He seems to be doing pretty well." A reported plan at the conference to form coalition of Republican governors behind one candidate lost momentum when Gov. James A.

Rhodes, favorite son, said he would not commit his key Ohio convention delegation to anyone. New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller, meanwhile, predicted GOP presidential rival Richard M. Nixon will fall at least 100 delegate votes short of the 67 needed to win nomination on the first ballot.

Rockefeller said in a New York Times interview he expects to so on from there to win the nomination at the conven- on beginning Aug. 5 in Miami Beach. Nixon met with most of Reagan's California delegation in Los Angeles Sunday and said would not "raid the delegation." He indicated he considered Republican unity later more important than a fight for delfr gates now. MORE Third party presidential candidate George C. Wallace said Sunday one way to stop a riot would be "to knock some people in the head." If a man throws a firebomb, assaults a policeman or breaks a window, Wallace said, "I think he'd be getting out mighty light if somebody knocked him in the head.

I think that's what ought to be done." Wallace was interviewed Washington on CfiS' the Nation." Preparations for both national parly conventions were embroiled in labor disputes but officials in both cases were optimistic. Electrical workers picketed the Republicans' convention hall in Miami Beach in a dispute with CBS over who will feed information into.a computerized device that superimposes pictures for the television screen. TTie telephone strike threaten ing communications for the Democratic''National Convention in Chicago lacked a decisive breakthrough. But Elinois Gov. Samuel H.

Shapiro said there is a "strong possibility" a strike moratorium can arranged. In other political developments: New York Mayor John V. Lindsay said he has "no interest whatever" in being vice presl dent and Indicated he woald re fuse to accept any running mate offer from the GOP presidential nominee. Lindsay was isterviewed in New York on ABC's "Issues and Answers." --Two congressmen said they mve asked all presidential con- ienders, including Wallace, to endorse a plan to prevent bar- Saining for the presidency if there is no majority winner in November. Reps.

Charles E. Goodell, R- N.Y., and Morris K. Udall, 1 said they to announce responses Tuesday. The plan Is aimed against the possibility Wallace' candidacy could prevent a victory for either major party candidate and put him in a position to bargain with them for Ms electoral votes. --Sen.

Jacob K. Javits, R- N.Y., said a Rockefeller-Reagan ticket would be "contrived" but he could swallow hard and support It.
