Reuben Askew of Florida is best-known and has won nationwide respect for his honesty and courage. Former Gov. Terry Sanford of North Carolina has broad and substantial experience. Either Askew or Sanford would immediately be accepted by the public 'fis fit to stand one heart beat from the presidency. But neither would bring a significant accretion of strength to McGovern.

Because Askew and Sanford are progressive on race and other issues, they are the kind of Southerners who are perhaps more widely admired in the rest of thecduntry than in their own conservative region. Most of the Southern voters whom theywouldttractare likely to vote for McGovern anyway. The only Southerners who would help McGovern are Gov. George C. Wallace, whose nomination is a political impossibility, and Rep.

Wilbur Mills. The latter would be reassuring to the business community and to party regulars, but even If McGovern could persuade Mills to run which is not impossible their differences in personality and philosophical outlook are so great that it would be difficult for them to conduct a coherent campaign. As of now, assuming Wallace does not run as a third-party candidate and split the Nixof vote in the Soum, Mc- vwiviii io nvi unwjr van jr aisjr Southern states. For him to look to Dixie for a running mate, therefore, is to appeal to his weakest area. In politics as in bridge, it is better to lead from strength.

-If he is to be elected, McGovern has to carry several Midwestern states which Hubert Humphrey narrowly lost By WILLIAM V. SHANNON New York Times News Service WASHINGTON Although Sen. George S. McGovern is still tantalizingly short of the marginal votes needed to make him certain of the presidential nomination, political discussion has already turned to his selection of a running mate. Since McGovern is the candidate of anti-establishment forces, he is unusually free to move in any direction in choosing a vice presidential nominee.

He can conciliate the power brokers by naming someone preferred by them or he can tap another political outsider likejiimself; The political probabilities are that McGovern will act in conventional jATTLE is mm wnm Wmmm lilllliii in 1968 OhioJllinoisMissouri, and8udiences, Wisconsin.

GenCarl MillerJILseems to us that if the counties may provide free bus transportation to parochial schools, the state may provide a contribution to the school lunch program of the parochial schools." It is impossible logically to "disagree with this reasoning. There is no evident violation of the constitutional principle of separation of church and state involved here. As Miller pointed out, the nutritional needs of children are the same regardless of their religion and whether they attend public or private schools. American Mr. Fischer had already beaten all thejeading U.S.

chess players and many of the best in the world as a callow teenager. Now he has survived the rigorous eliminations to meet Mr. Sasskyfortheworldti Youwould have thought that he would have been thrilled to play the world's best anywhere and any time, as the culmination of a brilliant career and perhaps the beginning of a long reign as champion himself. But no. Mr.

Fischer proceeded to raise objections about everything, reminiscent of a North Vietnamese ar-' ranginga-peacednferenceTTIe" found none of the sites in Europe acceptable for the match, finally settling for Iceland, of all places. Then when everything was set, he decided that the in prize money wasn't enough and stalled at phowing up. A wealthy Britisher doubled the prize pot out of his own pocket, and Fischer finally arrived too late for the match to open on schedule. It was postponed. Then he failed to show up for the meeting to arrange the opening move.

Mr. Spassky finally had enough. He demanded an apoldfy, and Mr. Ficher finally delivered it. He said he had been "carried faway" by the vision of riches from the chess title.

So now everything seems set for the match to begin, next Tuesday, unless Mr. Fischer finds something else to object to. Well, maybe chess has been too staid and stuffy. A little old-fashioned American boisterousness probably will do the pastime some good. Fischer has at least succeeded in moving the match from a filler among the obituaries to Page One.

But we wish the pomposity could have been punctured with a little less display of vulgar boorishness. That's all right for Khrushchev-type Russians. But it doesn't fit our notion of American sportsmanship. The Kentucky attorney general's office has advised the department of education that funds apropriated by the. General Assembly forthe school JunchV program should be shared by parochial schools.

The question had not arisen previously because until this year no state money vas given to the lunch program. But in the 1972 session the legislators voted for the current year, and for each of the next two years, to implement funds spent by the children themselves for lunches. The major part of the program is financed by federal money. "We think that an appropriation out For This We never thought we would find our-- selves rooting for a Russian against an American in any field of competition, but Bobby Fischer has changed all that. We hope he loses his bid tounhorse kus- sian Boris Spassky as the world's chess champion.

No'w America has never held the worid chessr championship, and while the nation's fate doesn't hang on our achieving that distinction, we do cherish the sporting hope that we may some day. If this be chauvinism, make the most of it But if MrFischeLgoesoiLjnowto win the championship, as he very well may do, it will be hard to feel the pride in; a countryman's achievement we should after his display of greed and bad manners in the pre-match maneuvering. Pleasant Way To Make Money More than 91,000 visitors who attended trade shows and conventions in the, Memphis, Tenn. area during the first half of 1972 spent an estimated $10.8 million, according to the Convention and Tourist Bureau of the Memphis Area Chamber of Commerce. The bureau said 107 conventions and sales meetmgsalreadyjubookeoMor the latter half of the year, with expected attendance of 57,000 delegates.

These bookings are expected to bring $7.4 million into local coffers. It is figures like these that confirm our faith in the aims and objectives of the Paducah-McCracken County Recreational, Tourist and Convention Commission. We can't think of a more pleasant way of making money than by entertaining-visitors, which gives the area prestige too.

Of to ride me in the deny those who desire to view such films nor to try and prevent the theater owners" from showing such films. One of the founding concepts of this country was based on religious freedom and what might be a moral issue for one group might be perfectly acceptable to another group. For those who object so strenous-ly that such films are objectionable to their tastes, the answer is simply to stay away. It appears as though the city police court judge is trying to draw attention from the real issue of the investigation of corrupt and illegal practices within the court and with the aid of the ministry, cast a bad reflection on one of the board members. The theater In question has been open for some time now and it has been no secret as to the types of movies shown.

Why did the judge wait until he became involved in a controversy to make this a public issue? Had he acted out of a moral conviction, he could have brought such action during the firstweek of the theater's operation. Thinking people should be able to see through this diversionary tactic and continue to support the board of investigation. If the board probes deep enough, it just might find a "malignancy" in our court that needs immediate surgery. I hope that the local ministry will concern itself with this major social Issue as it has with the minor issue of the film. GLADMAN C.

He saw the shifting of millions of Americans by a few government officials and realized that no oath of secrecy should stop him from warning the American people. Thus, he came to know a value higher than his own pledged word: patriotism. In his own way, Ellsberg kept his honor while endangering his freedom.

He warned the American public. Had he not done this, then his honor would have, using Mr. Kilpatrick's words, "become a mere scutcheon, no more than a word, nor more than air." STEVEN R.

Similarly, McGovern would like to find a way somehow to patch up the dangerous quarrel In Illinois between his own supporters and the old-line Democrats led by Mayor Richard Daley. The selection of Sen. Adlai E. Stevenson III, another attractive younger figure, might be part of such an arrangement.

Sermon tjDi RABBI KAUFMAN miracle.

It seemed as if the Jewish martyrs of the generations had become alive in the vigorous frenzy of the undaunted heroes as they fought and won the shortest of all wars in the history of modem times. The greatest military experts recognized with admiration the inexplicable phenomenon. Russia raged in fury, as it beheld the billions of rubles in the Soviet-equipped weapons go up in smoke or captured by Israeli heroes. The land of Israel paid a precious price 759 soldiers lost their lives for guarding and preserving their kindred and their sacred soil to the honor of the entire Jewry of the world. Golda Meir, the prime minister of Israel, came at the close of the war to the United States.

On June 11 she addressed Jewish multitudes in Madison Square Garden and thanked them for their generous contributions to win this victory. She concluded with the hope that after the Six-Day War, there might come the seventh day, the Sabbath of peace, not only for Israel but for the whole human race. But days before the five years of cease-fire was to be celebrated, the terrorist organization operating from Lebanon, sent three young Japanese with hand grenades and machine guns and massacred 25 innocent persons among them a party of Puerto Ricans on a pilgrimage to the holy sites of Christendom. That horrible massacre was hailed by the spokesman for the Liberation of Palestine as a "great victory." But the Japanese government assumed "total moral responsibility" for the tragedy. The fact that three mass murderers at Lydda Airport were Japanese was not the fault of the Japanese people nor of its government.

For every has its lunatics and fanatics. Japan, however, sent its high ranking envoys to Jerusalem and declared that It would pay compensations to the families of the victims. We see that the miracle continues, to the consternation of the culprits and their cohorts, and the moral fibre of mankind Is aroused to new nobility.

I i I James J. Kilpatrick Says; Unforgettable, But ully The Last Hopei EDITOR: The current madness of our city's judicial government is a reflection of how lax citizens have been in supporting unqualified people to run our courts. How can a man with no legal experience, no knowledge of the law and apparently, disregard for our state and federal laws be qualified to run a city police court? Whether you like it or not, the Supreme Court has made a ruling on the constitutionality of the showing of rated movies and it is now legal to do so. No organization, religious or otherwise has the right to impose its standard of morality on citizens who may disagree with that standard. What I want to see, read, or hear is my business and the first amendment to the Constitution clearly protects this right.

Another question that should be. brought it light stems from the fact that a selected group of 35 citizens supposedly representing a cross-section of the community were chosen to view the film in question. Since 16 of the selected were ministers representing various religious organizations, how can this be construed to be a cross-section of the general coi munity? Naturally, most ministers would be prone to call certain rated films lewd and lascivious. A minister has a perfect right to lecture his congregation and other groups concerning the morality of such an issue but he has no right to By MAX KAUFMAN The Six-Day War was a decisive turning point in modern history. It affected not only Jews and Arabs in the Middle East, but it broke the shackles of traditional logic and revealed hitherto unper-ceived realities both for peoples and individuals.

Just recently it pushed Japan, through dramatic tragedy, into the moral limelight of the world, and plunged some other nations into egocentric folly. It has-lit a new light upon the limitless horizon of human life and thought It was a miraculous event which has not yet run its course but is continuing and will continue to influence the coming days, decades and Those who disregard it will do so to their own mental and emotional detriment What Is there so significantly striking about this historic phenomenon that lasted only 131 hours? The answer is not simple. But the facts explain far more than words. No event can be judged only by itself, in isolation. It must be also considered by its consequences.

One of the undeniable consequences of the Six-Day War is that in the last five years since 1967 Israel has taken in 185,000 immigrants. This is the official report of the minister of integration, Mr, Nathan Peled, before the Parliament of Israel. Mr. Peled gave the following figures: 80,000 came from Europe; 53,000 from Asia and Africa; 35,000 from the United States and Canada; and 17,000 from South America. We are evidently facing a global movement of important proportions.

Last year only 42,000 settled in Israel. This year about 60,000 are expected. How did the Six-Day War begin? The late Nasser of Egypt gathered an army of 80,000 men with 900 tanks in Sinai. To justify this maneuver, he falsely announced that Israel had concentrated troops for a massive assault on Syria. In vain did the United Nations observers proclaim that no such concentration existed.

Nasser expelled the United Nations emergency force from Sinai, and the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba. On May 22 he announced the imposition of a blockade in the gulf. His speech left no doubt as to his intentions; "We awaited the proper day when we would be fully prepared and confident that we would take strong measures if we were to enter the battle with Israel our basic objective will be to destroy Israel." At this threatening conflagratlonthie United Nations Security Council said and did nothing. The aggressor had a green light. On May 30, Egypt and Jordan concluded an alliance against Israel.

On June 4 Iraq joined them and signed a similar pact Troops from Algiers, Morocco, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia converged toward Israel. Egyptian aircraft began to go into and out of Israel, carefully mark-' ing targets for attack. In Israel, everyone felt the air of doom. Suddenly a desperate valor seized Israel's forces. Under the command of General Yltshak Rabin they smashed their way to the Suez Canal, to the entire length of the Jordan River and to the Golan Heights.

Jerusalem was reunited. The'' Western Wall, the holiest relic of Its ancient temple was restored to its people. Joyous jubilation resounded and tears of triumph flowed freely from the eyes of young and old. Soldiers kissed In ecstasy the stones of the holy wall and vowed that It shall never again be taken from them. World opinion which, houn ago, had been filled with helpless anguish as Israel seemed to perish, now blinked In 1 wonderment 'and rallied in its support.

Israel'! triumph was an unexpected Ellsberg Kept His Honor KILPATRICK WASHINGTON For politician and political writer alike, this weekend brings a point of termination. The road that began last March in New Hampshire now runs to the sea at Miami. We have reached the Xrail's end. It is a road, in my own view, we ought not to travel again. The present system of presidential primaries contains some good features, but it offers much less good than ill.

By 1976 a better system must be found. fThis year saw the Democratic candidates struggle through 23 primary elections. Advocates of the system insist that it benefits both the voter and the candf-date. The voter has a chance to observe the" contenders under conditions of stress and to judge how they stand up under' fire. The candidate, for his part, has a road-show chance to try out his company before taking the play to Broadway.

Both points are valid. In retrospect, it seems evident that Edmund Muskie's campaign was doomed long before he denounced the Wallace voters in Florida or shed those famous tears in New Hampshire, but the emotional outbursts were fatal. If he could not keep his cool under so little heat, what would he do in the- White House? As for campaign organization, we saw in the McGovern operation the benefits of staff experience. His top people got the fumbles out of their system in Florida; thereafter they played like the Cowboys. Nobody else was in the same league.

the drawbacks far outweigh the Any primary is bound to be physically exhausting, but the helter-skelter scheme that now obtains Is needlessly exhausting. Campaigns are bound to cost money; they ought not to cost a fortune. At the very least, party primaries should be just that they should produce a nominee who is the first choice of his own party, but crossover voting makes a travesty of this objective. ''A single national primary late in August, under the plan proposed by Sen. Mike Mansfield, Is not the answer.

Such a system would undermine our federal structure, and assuming a runoff election in September, it would demand three national convulsions in less than three months. A system of five regional primaries, advocated by Oregon's Sen. Robert Pack-wood, offers a better solution. His plan would preserve the role of the states; it would retain the ultimate party conventions; it would eliminate wasteful travel, and it would provide abundant time, over a five-month period, to examine the candidates' minds as well as their stamina. Meanwhile, we are stuck with what we have; and the trail has had its memorable moments.

One of the highlights for me came in Jacksonville on a balmy night in March, when George Wallace turned up at a TV station to be interviewed by four regional newsmen. A reporter asked Wallace how he would deal with the Allende government in Chile. I. happened to be sitting behind his lovely wife, who was in the front row, and saw her grow tense. The governor never flinched.

"The problem," he said in effect, "cannot be separated from larger problems of foreign aid. Now let me tell you where I stand on foreign That was the last of the Allende government. After the broadcast, Mrs. Wallace permitted herself a small sigh of relief and pleasure. "I like to died," she confided, "when that man asked George about Chile.

I thought, what does George know about Chile? But you saw, didn't you?" Her wifely pride bubbled over. "He knew all about Chile." The same kind of story could be told of the others Hubert Humphrey in the snows of Milwaukee, Henry Jackson doggedly appealing to barefoot collegians, McGovern at his best In California. It has been a long trail typewriters and telephones, planes in the night, tears and laughter, violent shock. We ought not, I say, to travel this particular Barnum Bailey route again, but if the primary campaign of '72 proves to be the last such parade, it provided an unforgettabla' show. (0 1972 EDITOR: I believe whole-heartedly in the freedom of the press and "the people's right to know." At first glance, it appears that Mr.

James J. Kilpatrick does not. In the July 4 edition of The Sun-Democrat he cited four Incidents of the erosion of a man's word of honor. Three of those I would like to dwell upon. General John Lavelle was under the authority of his commander-in-chief and proceeded upon a path of action that was unauthorized and perhaps detrimental to diplomatic relations and our own logistics.

Victor L. Marchettl, I suspect, is seeking prominence at the expense of national security and personal honor. Hark! Let us speak of Daniel Ellsberg, who had given his word not to reveal the Pentagon Papers. A man's word of honor should be guarded religiously and dealt out miserly. Who has given his word to a friend not to divulge some confidence? Then, later, found it more beneficial to all concerned to divulge this confidence.

I believe than Daniel Ellsberg Is a great man of honor. I believe that he saw the malicious actions of certain governmental officials and realized that this deception should not be kept from Ameri Backs Burkhart EDITOR: Mr. Burkhart, as Jong as you stand up for law and order, you won't be very popular with the people or anything that is right.
