Mk MM uuu4 4n Analysis 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 welfase system to provide "an income sufficient to assure a decent life" to those who couldn't 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 same candidate he has been all year. But the nicest thing he could find to say about Henry M. Jackson was that he was "a tough fighter for his beliefs." And he finessed the necessity for being kind to George 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. He 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. 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 60 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 By JACK W. GERMOND New-Jounil Gannett itrvie 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. 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 tho acceptance speech was only perfunctorily conciliatory. Its message was, in effect, a reminder to his critics that he docs 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." fSef ewi A Memlcr of the Gannett Group Pensacola, Friday Afternoon, July 14, 1972 15 Cents 2 Sections 83rd Year, No.
