And he finessed the necessity for being kind to George An Analysis By JACK W. CERMOND NtwvJournil SuiMtt Stnrk the positions he had taken throughout the primary campaigns that brought him the nomination. He would guarantee a job for everyone, using the federal government as the employer of last resort. He would promulgate a welfare system to provide "an income sufficient to assure a decent life" to those who couldn't work.

He would reform the tax system to tear away the protections for "inherited or invested wealth" and make certain that "work is rewarded and so that those who derive the highest benefits will pay their fair share, rather than slipping through the loopholes at the expense of the rest of us." McGovern waved no red flags at the bulls of the opposition. He did not mention his support for a general amnesty or for school busing to achieve racial balance. And there was nothing that could be called derision of or gloating over his fallen opponents. But George McGovern made it clear in his first act as the nominee that he intends to be the 6ame candidate he has been all year. On the war in Vietnam, he promised to halt the bombing of Indochina on inauguration day and added: "Within 90 days of my inauguration, every American soldier and every American prisoner will be out of the jungle and out of their cells and back home in America where they belong." On defense spending, the issue that may become the focus of the campaign in the fall, McGovern pledged a national defense "alert and fully sufficient to meet any danger." But he made it plain he still intended drastic cuts in the money that would be spent on arms in a McGovern administration.

For 30 years, he said, "We have been so absorbed with fear and danger from abroad that we have permitted our own house to fall into disarray national strength includes the credibility of our system in the eyes of our own people as well as the credibility of our deterrent in the eyes of others abroad. "National security includes children for our children as well as silos for our missiles, the health of our families as much as the size of our bombs, the safety of our streets and the condition of our cities and not just the engines of war." On domestic issues, he was equally adamant in repeating Wallace by praising his "courage in the face of pain and adversity," a sentiment even Wallace's bitterest enemies would endorse. But there was only a passing reference to and certainly nothing smacking of a plea for party unity in the fall. To McGovern, the Democratic' secret weapon would be their distaste for Richard M. Nixon.

"To anyone in this hall or beyond who doubts the ability of Democrats to join together in common cause," he told his partisans, "I say never underestimate the power of Richard Nixon to bring harmony to Democratic ranks. Ha is our unwitting unifier and the fundamental issue of this campaign. And all of us are going to help him redeem the pledge he made 10 years ago: Next year you won't have Richard Nixon to kick around anymore." But it was when he came to outlining the issues of the general election campaign that McGovern was at his most unyielding. MIAMI BEACH In his first appearance as the Democratic party's nominee for president, George S. McGovern returned with a vengeance to the positions that brought him his victory.

1 For 48 hours, the Democratic convention had been alive with the suspicion that McGovern was backing away from his demands for radical change to soften the hostility of the George Meanys and Richard J. Daleys of his party. But the acceptance speech was only perfunctorily conciliatory. Its message was, in effect, a reminder to his critics that he does indeed stand for what Edmund S. Muskie has called "a quantum jump" in changing national priorities.

There were, of course, the gracious words of praise for the vanquished, his "old and treasured friend and neighbor, Hubert Humphrey" and "that gracious and good man from Maine, Ed Muskie." 3 teinpsicolsi few; A Member of the Gannett Croup Pensacola, Friday Afternoon, July 14, 1972 83rd Year, No. 139 2 Sections 15 Cents 28 Pages YONKERS, N.Y.

The victorious nominee had only a few hours to rest up after his triumph appearances before a unity breakfast for the party's House and Senate Campaign committees and a Democratic fund-raising group were scheduled before he returned to Washington later today. McGovern also had to decide on a new chairman for the Democratic National Committee, which holds a morning organizational meeting. While he has pressed Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien to stay on, informed sources said he would ask Jean West wood, the Utah national com-mitteewoman, to take the job if O'Brien declines. In the final moments of the convention that his supporters dominated all week, the triumph belonged to the onetime college professor from South Dakota.

Waves of applause rocked the hall as Hubert H. Humphrey, Edmund S. Muskie, Henry M. Jackson, Shirley Chis-holm and Terry Sanford lifted high the hands of the 49-year-old nominee and his 42- ear-old running mate from lissouri. Hundreds of jubilant McGovern delegates rose time and time again, peering over the crowds of reporters, cameramen and boosters jammed in the well of Convention Hall, to applaud the party's victorious standard bearer.

Childers said today he is preparing legislation that would repeal Florida's 5 fier cent corporate tax on he net profits of utility companies. He issued the statement after learning that the Florida Public Service Commission had quietly decided to permit state utilities to pass the tax on to their customers.

Childers, who said he voted for the corporate levy with the understanding that utilities would be exempt from it, will prefile his repeal bill Monday morning. Meanwhile, a spokesman for Associated Industries of Florida, which opposed the corporate profits tax last year when it was submitted to voters in the form of a constitutional amendment, pointed out that his organization tried to tell Floridians that all taxes are eventually passed on to the public. In a statement from Tallahassee, Jack Lee, executive vice president of the group, said. "I don't like to be in the position of saying 'I told you However, the business community tried its best to make it clear that this and all taxes are passed on to the public." Gov. Reubin Askew, who initiated the corporate levy, was still at the Democratic National Convention in Miami and could not be reached for comment on the Florida Public Service Commission's decision to let utilities pass the tax on to consumers.

In calling for removal of the levy from utilities, Childers said he will stump statewide in an attempt to gain support for his repeal legislation. "In my race, and In every other race, 1 feel this will become an issue," he said. "I hope that every legislator seeking office will make this a campaign Issue. If they don't the public will make them." Childers immediately drew backing from Milton City Councilman Alan Whidby, who is vying with Crestview Sen. William Dean Barrow and Tensacola attorney James A.
