McGovern's chartered Eastern Tristar 727 jet took off from National Airport at 10:33 a.m. EDT for the approximately three-hour flight to Rapid City, S.D. McGovern will spend two weeks at Sylvan Lodge, not far from the Mt. Rushmore carvings of four Presidents. Aides said he would spend this week resting, perhaps with a visit from his running mate, Sen.

Thomas F. Eagleton, and next week in continuing his planning for the campaign. McGovern's Democratic running mate, Sen. Thomas F. Eagleton of Missouri, will remain in Washington for an attempt to persuade dissident labor leaders to support the Democrats' presidential ticket.

It was generally agreed that the South Dakota senator was a decided underdog at this early stage of the 1972 cam-paign. A Newsweek magazine sur-, vey indicated that if the election were held today McGovern could be certain of only the four electoral votes of his home state and the three of the District of Columbia. The survey gave Nixon 236 certain electoral votes at this stage. Republican National Chairman Robert Dole warned his party's regulars of "over confidence." He did say, however, he felt Nixon was in "a very strong position." Dole was interviewed Sunday on the NBC program "Meet the Press." McGovern spent the weekend at his Washington Lt. William Galley's defense team says it will seek a new trial based on the finding of a "missing" GI witness to the My Lai massacre.

Payne, director of the U.S. Department of" Agriculture's meat and poultry inspection program in the state, Pennsylvania does not have enough meat inspectors.

"We were unsuccessful in reversing Judge Herman's ruling," Weinthaub said." There will be federal inspectors on the job (today), and the termination of the state inspection program has not been delayed." Besides eliminating the 205 jobs, Herman's order also will result in more stringent requirements for state meat producers and packers.

"We took the policeman off his beat, put him in a patrol car for better mobility and immediately lost touch with the people," said John T.
