4 Ct-birlt DAILY NEWS, MONDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1971 TTT, wrni ir TS. Wttk. ittm 9U lays imdsay: i lit ijne he had been given an opportunity to try out his political wares over an entire state. Indiana is strategically at the nation's crossroads, presenting a tempting mixture of both urban and rural feeling, and it has just lost its only blooming favorite son candidate, Sen. Birch Bayh, who withdrew from the presidential sweepstakes.

Ostensibly, the trip was designed to help the campaigns of seven Democratic-candidates for mayor in the Hoosier state. In reality and no one was kidded into believing otherwise the only mayor who stood to be helped was Lindsay. Clearly, ith his new party's kingmakers looking on closely, the mayor had to prove himself. And he knew it. Which explains why he put in a day of wild movement on day that began early in the morning at New York cityJjhall word; the furor wherever he went, validating the mayor's 97 recognition rating.

They saw another Lindsay, too a Lindsay who at times became almost a caricature of the country politician. Mellifiuous phrases boomed from his lips, accompanied by dramatic gestures. His talks were studded with time-honored references to "your great state chairman," "your great county leader," "your great candidate" and "the great city of Indianapolis (or Gary, LaPorte, Evans-ville, New Albany, Michigan City, Fort Wayne)." He was also at his baby-kissing, charming, charismatic best. It was pure corn, but the folks ate it up. But There's a Minus Side Despite the over-all pluses of this junket, there were many areas in which accompanying reporters agreed that Big John had simply bombed out.

Friday, for instance perhaps due to fatigue he made the mistake of arriving late and seemed to turn off several friendly audiences by attempting serious speeches when all they wanted was another drink, a few words of greeting and a chance to just look at him. The mayor at least pleased the Indiana people he reeded to please most. State Party Chairman Gordon St. An-gelo, who accompanied Lindsay, early today labeled his performance "great." "He did a lot of good for himself in Indiana," St. Angelo told this corner.

Debts for Future Collection Lindsay helped St. Angelo, whose rule has been under challenge, solidify his post as boss of the state's Democrats. Standing at Lindsay's side in the big cities, the state leader harvested a full measure of helpful reflected glory. The mayor also helped local county leaders and candidates. These will be the leaders and delegates at next year's party convention.

Right now, they owe one to Lindsay and they know it.

How much he learned from will become more than apparent real-soon. Next Friday, the mayor goes to Utica, N.Y., to help local candidates. On Sunday, he speaks at a fund-raising breakfast for the Westchester Democratic organization at Glen Island Casino; from there he flies to Jackson, to endorse the candidacy of Charles Evers for governor a losing cause but an appearance that will earn Lindsay points in black communities throughout the country. Sunday night, he will fly to Talahas-see, for appearances there. Next day, he hops to Miami for a speech before the Florida League of Cities.

Also scheduled are side trips to St. Petersburg and Tampa and a round of conferences with political leaders in a state that will have an early primary next year. City Hall, spanned three plane hops, seven interviews and speeches, a series of private conferences and ended at 3:30 the next morning in an informal cocktail and talk session with a group of equally worn-out reporters. Yesterday was even more crowded. Consider: four plane flights, 10 appearances, more private conferences and another day that was finally wrapped up at 3:30 this morning.

Security was tight because of possible demonstrations by Canada's large Jewish community and the many minority groups whose home nations are now under Soviet rule. One purpose of the trip wras to tighten Soviet-Canadian relations as part of the Kremlin's worldwide public relations campaign and also to repay a visit to the Soviet Union last May by Canada's Prime Minister Tierre Elliott Trudoau.
