At this point in time, the President is picking up slightly more of the Wallace vote in a two-way contest than either of his two leading pos-s i 1 Democratic opponents.

This is a reversal of earlier findings of the Harris Survey over the past year. Wtih Wallace out of the race, Nixon holds a substantial but not decisive 7 to 8-point lead.

Certainly McGovern's upsurge belies any such theory.

His book, "One World," was written in 1943 after a world tour. Javits said although Willkie was a loser "he had a greater impact on our nation and its foreign policy than many elected presidents. "In my judgment, that impact has been crucial to the security of our nation and will be crucial to the future of peace," he said.
