Rogers held open Saturday the possibility of new secret Vietnam peace talks and said "there are some slight nuances" in Hanoi's latest proposals that "give us some encouragement." Emerging from an hour-long meeting with President Nixon, Rogers told newsmen on the lawn of the Western White House that he did not want to raise premature hopes of progress toward ending the war.

He would not comment directly on the statement Saturday by a chief North Vietnamese negotiator, Le Due Tho, that he is ready to hold more private talks with Presidential adviser Henry Kissinger if Kissinger has "something new" to discuss. But Rogers said the United States is "prepared to have any kind of diplomatic activity" that holds out hope for peace. Rogers came to California to report to Nixon on the 11-nation around-the-world tour he- completed on Wednesday. He said he found in the countries he visited that Nixon is "regarded as the world leader in the cause for peace." At the ocean-front Nixon compound Friday, former Treasury Secretary John Con-nally emerged from a meeting with Nixon and accused Democratic presidential nominee George McGovern of sabotaging the President's peace efforts. Asked whether he agreed with Connally's statement, Rogers said McGovern's pledge to end the bombing of North Vietnam immediately and withdraw all American troops and support within 90 days "would give our adversary exactly what he (Continued on Page 8) has been feeling well since his return to office June 19 after being hospitalized for some four weeks.

3 election, and there is speculation that some of the more controversial matters will be postponed until the new court meets in September. Several magistrates have suggested that no action be taken in the election of a school board member and filling other vacancies in county posts. They contend that decisions at this time would be unduly political. The meeting will be a sentimental one for County Judge Franklin Ivey, who has announced that he is stepping down from office at the end of his interim term on Aug. 31.

Ivey has been a part of the County Court sessions since 1950, as the clerk for more than 20 years and as the county judge since May, 1971.

(AP) George McGovern started the long road from small-state senator to presidential nominee armed with a single major issue: opposition to the Vietnam war.

But as the South Dakotan developed into a major candidate, he broadened his approach by programming stands on a major reduction in military spending and serious reforms in welfare and taxes. Here, briefly, are the issues McGovern will be using in his fight against President Nixon: Vietnam McGovern considers the conflict a Vietnamese civil war in which the United States never should have become involved, even though the Soviets and Chinese are supplying the North with arms. On his inauguration day, McGovern says, he will halt all U.S. bombing in Southeast Asia, set "a definite date for withdrawal of all American forces within 90 days time of the inaugural-Simultaneously would announce the termination of aU military aid to the governments of Laos, Cambodia and South Vietnam." McGovern says he will take those actions without assurances that U.S. prisoners of war would be returned, but said his moves "would trigger the release of our prisoners." Otherwise, McGovern has 1 '1'', (.

China, Russia, Cuba "Personally, I applaud" Nixon's "trip to Peking his efforts in Moscow." McGovern also favors re-establishment of diplomatic relations with Cuba. It could begin "by inviting Castro or some designated person to Washington, or vice versa." Middle East "We have an obligation to furnish Israel the advanced aircraft and other equipment necessary to prevent attack. should be an ongoing commitment, based solely on the military requirements of the day." McGovern also says that it is a thousand-in-one situation but "if it were necessary to save Israel I would, without question," commit U.S. forces there.

By making it clear to the Arabs and their Soviet allies "that we're going to back the state of Israel, you head off the possibility" of World War III erupting over the Mideast. He also said June 17 that he would visit Israel on the country's 25th anniversary next year. If elected president, he would be the first U.S. chief of state to see that country firsthand. 1 Other Foreign Affairs McGovern rarely dwells on other aspects of foreign affairs.

However, his campaign literature lists food, technical and economic aid to other nations to be based on need "rather than narrow ideological and political considerations." He rejects what he considers overly protective limits on U.S. imports which, McGovern says, would bring about the reappearance of American isolationism. Economy The Democratic candidate has sponsored legislation to assist with economic conversion of U.S. private industry from production of military-related goods to civilian goods and services. The bill, among other things, requires that part of the profits U.S.

companies earn on military, space and atomic energy contracts be used as benefits to workers whose work weeks have been shortened or jobs eliminated due to cuts in military spending. It also offers an incentive to employers to plan for the transfer of their workers to civilian production. McGovern also has urged substantial increases in government-financed public service employment programs and aid to private industry "to meet, the nation's needs for housing, public transit, environmental protection" and other needs. And, he has called for a federal fund to "give the same protection against bankruptcy to small businesses and industries that the Nixon administration has sought to provide to a few giant corporations like Lockheed." Tax Reform A major McGovern campaign issue is tax reform to close loopholes he says allow many big corporations and rich people to avoid taxes at the expense of middle-income working families. His specific proposals include: Elimination of the investment tax credit for business; a tax rate on gifts and inheritances graduated up to 77 per cent when the value is $500,000 or more; a reduction in local property taxes by increasing the federal share of financing elementary and secondary education; a minimum income tax.

He has also said he wants to phase out depletion allowances on oil and other products. Welfare One of McGovern's most controversial proposals, the candidate's plan for redistribution of income, will guarantee every American a minimum annual allowance. It would be in the form of cash grants to those below a certain income level and in the form of tax credits. Like other income, this will be taxable. McGovern stresses that his welfare reform plan would work only in tandem with tax reform.

National Defense McGovern proposes cutting defense spending to $54.8 billion for the fiscal year starting July, 1974 down from a projected $87.3 billion for the same year under the Nixon administration. Under his proposal, McGovern says, the U.S. military would "be built on muscle instead of fat," with expenditures that are "necessary for a prudent national defense and no more." It envisions a total end to U.S. involvement in the Vietnam war; a withdrawal of all U.S. land forces in Korea and throughout the Far East; a reduction in total military manpower from 2.4 million men to 1.7 million, a reduction in the number of U.S.

troops stationed in Europe from 300,000 to regardless of whether there is a similar withdrawal of Communist troops. It also envisions reducing from 22 to 16 the number of air wings stationed in Europe-leaving four wings on carriers assigned to Europe and the Mediterranean; a decrease in B52 and FB111 bombers from 520 to 200; retention of the 1,000 Minuteman intercontinental ballistic missiles in hardened silos in the United States, but elimination of the 54 larger and older Titan ICBMs; termination of development and production of the Bl strategic bomber, the F14 and F15 fighter planes, and the Safeguard antiballistic missile system.
