All of these things are things in which he's been identified for years.

He has a very quick, retentive mind and a delightful imagination, a great sense of humor. Hubert is liked, enthusiastically, I think more than almost any member of the Senate; It's been a great asset to (Editor's Note: Wisconsin's senior senator, William Proxmire, (left above) is not only one of the leading economic minds in the U.S. Senate, but after winning his bid for re-election in 1970 by the widest margin in the country as well as in Wisconsin's history, he is a most astute politician. In a very wide ranging interview with Herald-Telegram publisher, John M. Lavine, right) in Chippewa Falls on Proxmire not only revealed intimate, personal views of each of the front running Democratic candidates for President, but he told Lavine who he would pick for Vice President what he thought President Nixon's greatest areas of strength and weakness were; and as chairman of the Joint Economic Committee of the Congress, he outlined a plan which would drastically reduce America's rates of unemployment and inflation.

The following is part one of the Proxmire interview. He's the kind of a man that you just feel is committed on principle. He will take a position regardless of its political consequences. Now there's some exceptions to this kind of thing. For example, I think that his vote which he says he regrets on the Taft-Hartley Act is one which if he had to do over again he would have voted the other way.

I think that perhaps he may recognize that the equities were on the side of labor in the Taft-Hartley Act the vote he cast is a vote for so-called "right to work" By and large, I think he's viewed as a fellow with a very deep, humanitarian sensitivity and with a commitment to help people who need help very much. He's so identified with things like Food For Peace. He's identified with movements like the Peace Corps, although he didn't-originate it. It was originated by Reussand Humphrey more than anybody else in the Senate and House. He's the kind of man that people feel they can talk to and trust.

He's idealistic, maybe a little too idealistic. As far as Hubert (Humphrey) is concerned, Hubert has gone through a whole series of phases. He's been in the Senate a long time. He's a very exciting, dramatic figure. He's probably the finest impromptu speaker who's served in the Senate in the 15 years I've been there.

The kind of fellow who could just explode. The only other man who can do that in the Senate is John PastorLPastori has this kind of a Latin temperament which is most exciting and interesting. is a great speaker. And he can speak on so many things and knows so much in so many areas. He has a very catholic mind in that sense, a very unusual gTasp of complex issues in the area of Arms Control, Foreign Policy, and I think the only thing that stood in Hubert's way has been a driving ambition tobe President of the United States, and I think if he were a little more casual about it, he would have done much better than he's done.

1 think there's also, of course, an aspect of'Hubert Humphrey that was reflected on the "All in the Family" T.V. show. One of the latest episodes was one involving Archie's cousin, Maude. Maude was a "Hubert Humphrey Democrat," and they said, what's a Hubert Humphrey Democrat? "A Hubert Humphrey Democrat is somebody who's for everything, for everything-for Of the cost of this is phenomenal. I can remember one tiipe we had a meeting with Hubert, when he was Vice President, and Ernie Greening, (Senator from Alaska) was there asking what he could do about getting the budget bureau to ease up on their opposition to hospitals in Alaska which were very expensive.

Hubert said the first thing you should recognize is that the Budget Bureau is the enmy, Now, here he was the Vice President of the United States the President, and the Budget Bureau, you Turn to PROXMIRE Page 3 LAVINE: Because you know the Democratic front rurihers and most of us just read about themcan you give us a candid picture of what are they like, what are they like as people, as Senators, and politicians?

He's gentle. Some people feel he's too gentle, easy going in the sense that you never suffer from recriminations from him. People feel that if they've crossed George or disagreed with George, they won't have to worry that if they do that they're going to lose him on something in which he believes. This is both a strength and a weakness. (DDniipipewa mILIDnTrffilLffiCemAffl McGovern VOL! 102 NO.

Wisconsin sun-gazers only saw about a two-thirds eclipse of the siiin, as the moon moved inside the sun's orbit to block the solar rays from earth for several hours in the afternoon.

Humphrey withdrew from the race. "After consultation with some of my closest friends and supporters, I have determined that I will not permit my name to be entered in nomination at the convention, and It was announced today by Marvin Schaeffer, District Engineer for the State Divisionof Highways, that the State Highway Commission has approved the installation of traffic control signals at the intersection of present traveled US 53 and County 'P' (Woodward Avenue), located on the south side of the City of Chippewa Falls.

Schaeffer indicated that there has been considerable local interest in the traffic flow through this intersection from the standpoint ofvvehicle and pedestrian safety. He also noted that district traffic personnel recently completed the updating of past studies regarding the vehicular and pedestrian volumes, turning movements, accident history, at this location. The updated study indicates that the nationally accepted warrants for the installation of traffic control signals are reasonably met and that the installation of the signals is apparently justified as a means for more safely crossing or entering USH 53 at this important local intersection. The traffic control signals will be traffic actuated (vehicle detectors will be placed in the appropriate approach traffic lanes) and will operate similar to those presently in operation on US 53 in the city of Eau Claire. "The signals will be installed by Division of Highway's personnel working out of the District 6 headquarters in Eau Claire.

It is anticipated that the crews will start work on the installation the last week in July and that the traffic control signals will- be fully operational shortly after Labor Day. am now releasing my delegates to vote as they wish." "My withdrawal from the presidential race is a withdrawal of candidacy only. It is not a withdrawal of spirit, or of determination to continue the battle I have waged alhmy public life on behalf of those who had no voice," Humphrey said in a statement.

THAT VICTORY -and the weight by which it was won-apparently prompted Humphrey to give up his decade-long quest for the presidency. McGoVern's other rivals were largely silent Sen. Edmund S.

And Leonard said the return rate for young offenders is ever, worse, with a study showing 72 per cent of those arrested before they are 18 are arrested again within five years. "The members of the bench who work with young people and their problems are among the most dedicated jurists we have in this country," Leonard said. But he added they are "shackled by a lack of moral support and funds.

Leonard, a former Wisconsin state senator and lawyer, was the keynote speaker at the 35th annual National Council of Juvenile Court Judges Conference.

It began Sunday and runs through Friday. He told them the nation "has not made enough inroads into the crime rate among young people" and rattled off a num prising that their efforts have not been enough to successfully stem the rising tide of youth crime." Leonard said all the aids a judge has to help juveniles are "in far too short a supply," such as parole personnel, psychiatric services, foster family services and youth counseling teams.
