State Officer: Welfare Report Is Misleading DES MOINES (AP) The public information officer for Iowa's Department of Social Services said Tuesday that a report listing the state fifth in Aid to Dependent Children is misleading.

Dale P. Buhl also said Iowa rankings of second in monthly aid to aged citizens under the Old Age Assistance program and top ranking to disabled persons are misleading because of the difference among states in reporting such statistics. Department research chief W. F. Rauscher said nursing care costs in Iowa are paid to in turn pay for their own cafe.

If nursing care were not included in Iowa welfare payments, Rauscher said, the state's ranking "would be radically changed." Palo Alto To Nixon EMMETSBURG (AP) Republican Richard M.

Wallace seemed terribly atone. He sat in a beige leather chair ipposite the large brick fire- lace in his paneled den, almost ibliviotM to the few around him, ind watched the results of his ong ordeal flicker on the color eleviskm screen. "I've got a good popular rote," he said. "It's all right, t's all right." His youngest daughter, 7- rear-old Lee, climbed Si and out if his lap and finally napped on lie floor between the folds of hick quilt, to be awakened vhen it was time to go to the tnge coliseum where a disappointingly small crowd of faith- ul followers awaited him. Lee had fallen asleep after a ep talk.

"Daddy," she said, 'You try to get a lot of votes, low, because I do want to live that White House." "All right, darling," he as- iured her. Occasionally, he bent to kiss icr cheek or arrange' the quilt her shoulders. "I've got a jood vote," he said. "Except ny little girl can't understand A Wallace, Lee was accustomed to Another daughter, Paggy, sat on the coach with a boy friend and a college chum. They talked quietly among themselves.

Where was everybody? Where were the shut-sleeved aides and the close friends and the clutter of ash trays and glasses and coffee cups one expects to surround a candidate on election night? "I guess I'm like most folks," Wallace shrugged. "I just like to watch the election results at home." His staff was at a motel across from the arena, waiting for him. His running mate, Curtis LeMay, was waiting there too, and Wallace talked to him once by phone early in the evening. He talked twice by to a top assistant, Cecil Jackson, but both calls were incoming and apart from them his staff did not bother him. Indeed, at times, he seemed grateful that a reporter was there--someone who would listen to a comment, or make one, about the very personal and historic drama taking place.

At one point, a television com- GEORGE WALLACE mentator remarked that Wallace had "gone down to ignominious defeat." He made the remark when 17 per cent of the vote was in and Wallace's total was 3,436,000. Wallace bristled. "A Deep Southerner getting that many votes," Wallace said, "is not ignominious." He said it looked as though he would get 10 million votes in aBL "I thtak ten wotid to a mighty good vote," to said. "A third party movement tram the Deep South--why that would to fantastic." Even more significant would be if Wallace's electoral votes were enough to deny either of the other candidates a majority. The possibility was mentioned by a television commentator and Wallace said: "I hope it does, I hope it does." But Wallace refused to discuss what he would do in that eventuality.

He said he would have a news conference some time Wednesday. He rarely revealed disappointment. "Maybe," he said at one point, "we should have concentrated more in the border states and the South-4)ut we didn't want it to be a sectional movement." At length, he could delay his trip to the Coliseum no longer. He asked his daughter to bring him two aspirin. Then, be clicked off the television and walked to his car.

His speech was brief. He introduced his family, his staff and his running mate and concluded: "The election is not over Iowa Elections at a Glance By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PRESIDENT Richard M.
