Eurtki, California THE TIMES-STANDARD Kennedy Support Certain WASHINGTON (UPI) Eleanor McGovern said toda that she is certain Sen. Edwar M. Kennedy will throw his sup port behind her husband, Sen George S. McGgvern for th Democratic i i a "He has done everythin short of a formal endorsement, said Mrs. McGovern.

She sai Kennedy also says "every mem her" of the Kennedy family i behind McGovern. In an Interview, McGovern came through as leader in a new breed of politi clan's wives and potential firs ladies. She speaks out on can didates and the issues, and sh strikes out on the campaig: trail alone. She doesn't mind saying tha she is "disappointed" in Sen Hubert Humphrey, fo his role in helping to split In 271-member California delega tion. "I think it's a reprehensible thing," she said.

"My husbanc won the election fair anc square, according to the rules the state. It was really un fortunate. I think the beneficiary of it can only be on person that's Kichard Nix on." Barely five feet tall, the blue eyed Mrs. McGovern, 50, fighting a losing battle to ge her weight back up to 100 pounds. But she displays stamina and determination in her commitment to her husband's political future.

"I'm just running in suppor of my husband," she said as she settled down in a sofa in her Japanese-style home in i fashionable part of Washington She wore white slacks and an electric blue overblouse. Her hair, blonde with a highlights, framed her rounc face. She was relaxed despite the days of living in a political pressure cooker. "I feel I am a member of a team," she said! there have been rewards for rne." When she is campaigning, children, clothes, hairstyles anc food are put aside for the questions of Vietnam, the Middle East, Social Security, and drugs. "He gives me a great deal ol freedom," she said.

"He doesn't check on what I say. He has great confidence in me. The McGovern election committee sends me the latest position papers. Maybe we have ESP. So far I don't think I've made any great She said she gets nervous before a speech or a public appearance, but not while she is speaking.

Why does she want to be first lady? "Because it would mean my husband is President. I think he's needed. I think it's a marvelous forum for espousing causes. I hope to write and to focus on children all realms, physical, emotional, spiritual, to enrich their environment as a preventive thing." She said that her "modern" favorite first ladies have been Eleanor Roosevelt and Lady Bird Johnson. Out of the history books, she picks A i a i Adams.

As for her involvement in her husband's career, she says: "I haven't been a pusher. He hasn't needed that. He's been his own inspiration. I have been supportive. I believed him." She describes as "ridiculous" those who pin a "radical" label on her husband.

"I think my husband is a 'Centrist' because of the things he is promoting are things people want. I fear for this country if the needs arc not met. So many people feel alienated. They feel the government can't be trusted. So many people feel they are paying an unfair share of the taxes." The McGoverns learned first hand about the drug problem in 1968 when one of their daughters ias arrested for possession of marijuana.

The charges were dropped because of legal technicalities and she said it has "had a happy ending." Like her husband, she is against a criminal charge for users of marijuana but believes sellers shold be prosecuted. She does not favor legalization of marijuana "until we know more about it." Born on a farm near Woonsocket, S.D., she has an identical twin sisler, lla Pen- ninglon, and a younger sister, Phyllis Slcichen. She attended Dakota Wcslcyan University in Mitchell, where she met her husband. The McGoverns were married In 10W in Woonsocket Methodist Church in a ceremony performed by the senator's late father, nn ordnincd minister. They have five children Ann (Mrs Wilbur) Mead, 27; Susan (Mrs.

James) Rowcn, 26; Theresa, 23; Steven, 19 and Mary, 17. They nlso have three grandchildren, Timothy and Kevin Mead, 2 years old nnd, three weeks old, respectively; nnd Mnllhcw Rowcn, 3 months.

State Solons Working Feverishly SACRAMENTO (UPI) -Legislators resumed their feverish pace today with plans of working through the July 4 holiday to wrap up the bulk of legislative business before the Democratic National Convention begins next Monday. The two major issues still before the lawmakers are a massive tax shift-school finance proposal and reapportionment. Gov.

Ronald Reagan and Assembly Speaker Bob Moretti. D-Vnn Nuys, have reached agreement on a $1.2 billiiin aackage to resolve the school 'inancing dilemma. But Senate Democrats have withheld their endorsement. Meanwhile, the Assembly Ways and Means Committee is expected to act this week on an alternate school finance proposal by Assemblyman Dixon Arnett, R-Redwood City, that would cost the state million. Both plans are designed to meet the state Supreme Court's landmark decision that the present property tax laws are unconstitutional because they discriminate against poorer school districts.

The Assembly plans to recess during the Democratic conven- ion, but the Senate may work during the convention week jecause only a few Senators lave been named as delegates.
