George McGovern, by a smashing Wiscon- sin victory, said Wednesday (he South Dakotan lias emerged as best man to imilc Detno- and defeat President Nix- on in November. a a i i McGovern's national policy di- rector, told a news conlerence results have pretty emuch narrowed the Democratic field to McGovern, Sen. Hubert and Alabama Gov. Wallace.

Mankiewicz anri other aides isaid an analysis of the Wiscon- sin primary showed McGovern ran well in virtually all areas and among all minorities ex- blacks. 51 The results also showed, they gaid, that Wallace would have Wisconsin if McGovcrn Ibad not been on the ballot. Mankiewicz said (hat al- 'Jjhough McGovern, Wallace, and Iplhers benefitted from Republi- crossovers, McGovern is in best position to keep tbose j'otes in the Democratic column November, and would there- fore have tbe best ciiance of de- feating Nixon. Gary Karl, McGovern's cam- paign director, said Humphrey now the top challenger to $IcGovern and that Wallace 'Jjrobabry would "become less a factor" 'as the candidates con- jtinue through the primaries. The aides released figures Jthey said showed a strong base jpf support for McGovern in in- Jdusta'al, suburban and rural If liberal Democrats hope to Wallace's presidential Mankiewicz said, they unite behind the South fDakola senator.

"It is George McGovern who best mai'shall the challenge George Wallace," he said. "We think tbe conclusion can Jsafely be drawn that if George had not been in this primary, George Wallace would Itave swept the stale," Man- kiewicz added. "The head-to- head competition and the suc- cess ol George McGovern is the major news story here." Asked to project McGovern's primary -adversary, in the up- coming primaries, Hart said, "It's essentially a contest with Sen. we can defeat Sen. Humphrey in the later primaries and get Hie nomination." Mankiewicz said the with drawal of New York Mayor John Lindsay from the Demo- cratic presidential race Tues- day night indicated voters are no longer overly impressed with campaigns designed to capitalize on television.

"In a sense, the voters have slopped watching and have started listening," Mankiewic? said. The McGovern aide saic there were "an awful lot of people" on the Lindsay earn and "we would certainly velcome them." Patrick Caddcll, a McGovern researcher, said the war re- mained the number one issue lespite the candidates' heavy emphasis on property tax re- orm during the Wisconsin pri- mary. tVfiiftnrtfif Call 352-3351 FAIR CITY GLASS Page 3--Huron (S.D.)

The South Dakota senator, who emerged Tuesday as a ma- jor contender for the Democrat- presidential nomination, raised an estimated at a cocktail party and dinner at- tended by 1,600 persons Wednesday night. He was.flying to Los Angeles today for another major money raising event, a $50-a-plate din- ner at a Beverly Hills hotel.

Whenever he spoke with re- porters, McGovern stressed what he thought his victory in Wisconsin presidential pri- mary meant: that his drawing power is broader than that of a one-issue liberal candidate. "That election really has nothing to do with the old la- bels of conservative or liberal or radical or left wing or right-wing." he said. "It is not, for example, either left or right to demand the government re- spond to the concerns of ordina ry citizens." During Past Week 10 Americans Killed In Viet Combat SAIGON (AP) The U.S..

"Des- pondency and self-depreciation must yield place to hope." Pakistan military sources said (lie army has started a buildup to replace the regular army men among 9.1,- X)0 war prisoners held captive in India after their surrender in vhat became Bangladesh, East Pakistan. Tile army has formed a new infantry division and created another from independent bri- gades, including a unit once the private army of the Amir of Bahawalpur, ruler of the princely state which sits strate- gically at the center of the West Pakistan-Indian border.

Military sources have re'port- ed that Libya supplied Ameri- can-built Freedom Fighter P5 jets to the depleted air force and China has delivered 19 tanks, missile patrol boats and surface to air missiles since the end of the December fighting. On paper, the army has 14 di- visions, one more than it claimed in March 1971 when civil war erupted in the East. This does not include at least four divisions held captive. A Pakistani division contains at least 18,000 men. Most of the army is facing an Indian force along the 900-mile frontier from mountainous Kashmir in the north to the Sind Desert in the south.

The Pakistanis claim the Indians violate the cease-fire almos daily along that line. with young men. Sandbags still protect public buildings such as the telegraph office in Rawalpindi and the military intelligence headquar- ters in Islamabad. Private hpmes still wear coats of cam- ouflage paint. President Zulfikar All Bhutto speaks of building the best army in Asia, although in- sisting it will be only for de- fense.

Many Pakistanis seem to be- lieve India will attack first. A Cabinet minister asked a for- eign journalist, "What will the United Slates do when India at- tacks?" The question was the one most frequently raised recently when an American Embassy official went -on -a brief speaking tour in the Pun- jab, the populous province clos- est to the Indian border. Others believe the fight will start over the refusal of India to meet the Pakistan demand for immediate return of the war prisoners. Some believe eventually Bangladesh will rise against what the Westerners believe will be Indian domina- tion, triggering a war- from Pakistan. "We will come to Ihe aid of our brothers East," said a youthful Punjabi member of the National Assem- bly for the ruling Pakistan People's party.
