The Daflq Times McGovern Has Jewish Strategy Set By ROBERTS. ALLEN PUBLISHED DAILY Exctpt Sunday and Certain Holidays By THOMSON MOORE NEWSPAPERS, INC. 114 Lee Avenue, W'etrton, West Virginia 2S042 Advertising 748-0606 Editorial Thursday, July 1772 Page 4 Big Surplus The State of West Virginia ended the 1971-72 fiscal year June 30 with' a budget surplus of $10 million more than Goy. Arch A. Moore had in January.

House Speaker Lewis McManus (D) said that West Virginia certainly must be the envy of all other states in the country, most of whom are confronted with critical financial problems. WEST VIRGINIA ended the fiscal year with $408.9 million, whereas Gov. Moore last January told the State Legislature that he anticipated income of $398.4 million. The J39B.4 million figure included a surplus of $46 million which was later allocated by the State Legislature to various departments and bureaus of the state. The surplus reflects not only an upswing in business and industry In the state but good administration by Gov.

Moore. GOV. MOORE HAD PROMISED the people of West Virginia that he would turn tha state around and move it forward in the direction of progress, honesty and decency after what the state had experienced under the predecessor Democratic governors, W. W. Barren and Hulett Smith.

Mr. Barron now happens to be in prison for bribing a juror. A large number of those associated with him had been charged with assorted types of thievery. There are some Democrats who think that the surplus achieved by Gov. Moore was bad from a business standpoint because had there been a more exacting projection of the anticipated revenues the various departments would have more money to spend from the start of the year.

But just imagine how the Moore critics would have howled had there been a deficit and departments would have been compelled to cut their budgets. Of the two possibilities, the people of West Virginia favor a surplus. It means good government and it means no tax hikes. Poor Sportsmanship Bobby Fischer, the prodgious chess player, has turned out to be a poor representative of the United States on the world scene. His eccentric action preceding the championship match with Boris Spassky of Soviet Russia not only tarnished his own reputation as a gentleman and competitor, but marred the general Image of the United States.

SERVICEMEN STATIONED at the U. S. air base In Iceland have been so enfuriated by Mr. Fischer that they have publicly expressed the hope that he would be defeated in the title match. The U.

S. Is trying to maintain good relations with the Islandic people so that the air base can be retained there. The Soviet has been campaigning for years to have the U. S. ousted so that they could move in.

A newly-ordained Lutheran minister in Reykjavik broadcast a sermon in which he declared Fischer was guilty of the "sin of greed" and that Soviet titleholder Spassky was guilty of the "sin of anger." His reference to Fischer's alleged greed recalled the American's threatto wreck the24-gameseries unless the Icelanders gave him more money. He has already been guaranteed $250,000. Sassky's anger was shown when he threatened to walk out unless he got an apology from Fischer for delaying the match over money. The Lighter Side By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI) --A recent survey of 20 major occupations conducted by a group of psychologists showed that politicians ranked next to last in public trust, barely nosing out used car salesmen. Maybe that explains what was happening in Miami Beach this week.

Many of the delegates to the Democratic National Convention obviously were shopping around for a presidential candidate the same way they might buy a second hand automobile. To wit: "HELLO THERE. 'Honest Sid' Lemonpusher at your service. May I be of assistance?" "Why, yes. I was looking around for a good, late model presidential candidate to run against Nixon this fall.

Do you haveany In stock? "Do I ever Sweetheart, you have come to the right place. Take a look at this McGovern Reformer. Just arrived on the lot this morning. I haven't shown it to anyone else because I wanted to save It for someone who really appreciates quality." "It looks like a frontrunner all right, but there's an awful Jot of mileage on it. It must havebeen running a long time." "I give you my word of honor --this baby has only been driven in a coupleof easy primaries.

It's hardly broken in good." "Well, I've heard it tends to swerve to the left and has labor trouble. Do you have anything else?" "My friend, you are in luck. This is your chance to pick up a 1972 Humphrey with a supercharged intonator and a synchronized vocalizer with refutable vocabulary." "ISN'T THAT THE ONE that broke down four years ago?" "The Humphrey was recalled for removal of an LBJ escalator that was causing a campaign drag. But now it's as good as new." "What's that one over there? It looks something like a Lincoln." "That's a Muskie Moderate. It makes a great family candidate and now comes equipped with an emotional stabilizer that has automatic weeping inhibitors." "Do you still have that Wallace Hardhat you were trying to sell four years ago?" "You mean the one with the white backlash? It's no longer available.

But we do have a Wallace Populist with built-in anti-busing controls. And that isn't all. "WE ALSO CAN OFFER YOU a Jackson Hawk with a military- industrial complex, a Chisholm Crusader that runs on black power and a wide assortment of other models all In top condition." "Fine. I'll make up my mind as soon as I kick the tires. MIAMI BEACH Sen.

MoQovern has a grandiose plan all ready and waiting to win over (the extensively alienated Jewish In crucial population centers sand swing states. He will go to Israel to demonstrate his personal Interest In preserving the Arab-Soviet- threatened security of the tiny country, The scheme is a direct outgrowth of jarring experience In state primaries. Widespread i a i among Jewish voters cost him heavily in the key California and New York primaries. Instead of carrying California by a resounding 20-polnt margin as was widely predicted, McGov- em edged Sen. Humphrey only 44 to 39 percent.

Similarly, in New York, three ultra-left Congressional candidates strongly backed by McGovern were decisively defeated in Jewish dls- riots. Timing of McGovern's vote- wooing junket to Israel is still undecided. IN TALKS here with trusted supporters, the South Dakotan -indicated it would be "sometime before Labor Day" when the momentous fall election battle will formally get underway. McGovern also disclosed he proposes to ask two Senate colleagues to accompany him -both leading Israel champions. McGovern's obvious purpose is to enhance his reception in Israel and gild his unfavorable image there.

These contemplated Senatorial adjuncts are: (1) Sen. Abraham Ribicoff, former governor of Connecticut, HEW Secretary in the Kennedy cabinet, early McGovern booster and vigorous supporter of arms and aid for Israel. (2) Sen. Henry Jackson, Democratic National Chairman under President Kennedy, foremost Congressional sponsor of legislation in behalf of Israel, a Presidential rival of McGovern and outspokenly critical of him. Jackson has bluntly characterized McGovern as a "dangerous extremist," and caustically assailed his views and voting re cord on Israel.

SEN. fUBICOFF Is ready and willing to accompany McGovern to Israel. Sen. Jackson emphatically is not.Quite the contrary. He hasn't the slightest Intention of Joining McGovern in going to Israel or anywhere else.

Some Insiders credit Ribicoff with being one of the originators of the Israeli junket idea. Another is Frank Mankiewicz, long-time Kennedyite and right-hand McGovern adviser. Both are said to be "very high" on this electioneering gimmick. Jackson has not yet been approached on it. Indirectly, he has heard about it.

Privately, he is leaving no doubt of his categoric aversion. For one thing, Jackson has no desire or intention to help McGovern gloss over his equivocal record on Israel. Jackson feels very strongly about that, and has said so forcefully and publicly. Further, Jackson has his own plans to visit Israel at the invitation of the Israeli government. The Washington state Senator has been there several times in connection with his work as ranking member of the Armed Services Committee.

The com- tcmplated trip will be to study Israeli defense problems. SEN. JACKSON, replying to a McGovernite's question as to the basis of his strong disapproval of the South Dakotan, summarized it as follows; "In my view, has failed to grasp the essence of the crisis In the Middle East which I believe to be massive Soviet involvement In the radical Arab states. Sen. McGovern has stated that, In his view, the 'feeling of the that they have unjustly lost their homes and property Is perhapi the most Important source of tension and conflict In the Middle I disagree profoundly with this view.

"Finally, I am deeply concerned at Sen. McGovern's q.uts- tlonable view that Israel can survive If we In America turn our back on our European allies, slash our naval forces in the Mediterranean and elsewhere, and engage In unilateral defense cuts on a massive scale. There Is no doubt in my mind, as 1 tried to clear In my report to the Senate In December, 1876, after discussions in Israel with top Israeli political and military leaden, that the policy of national weakneu advocated by Sen, McGovern would plaoe our friends and allies, Israel In- ccluded.

McGovern was not there." In the fall of 1971, McGovern made a mysterious Junket abroad a publicity stunt pure. and simple to give his then-stagnant Presidential campaign a desperately needed shot in the arm. The trip was undertaken after the publication of polls showing the ultra-dove and New Leftist trailing at the bottom of the list of Presidential hopefuls.

McQovern's unannounced aim was to go to Peking and Hanoi. He didn't make either. THE FURTHEST he got was Saigon, where he talked to a few of ticlals, none of them Important. He also met with notoriously dovish newsman and other Vietcong partisans. THE JUNKET was financed by a New Left multl-milHonalro and McGovern supporter -Max Palevsky, Lo3 Angeles, head of Scientific Data Systems.

Insiders intimated Palevsky put up $10,000 for the trip. Previously he had helped McGovern pay $100,000 in debts incurred In his last-minute Presidential campaign following the slaying of Sen. Robert Kennedy. In McGov- wn's 1971-72 drive for the Presl- iential nomination, Palevsky contributed more than $300,000. Among insiders he is rated as the single biggest donor to the South Dakota radical.

NOTHING came of the latter's 1971 junket not even much publicity, which prompted it. ifif jNlXOIl Bid Washington Times' Bureau WASHINGTON A massive grass-roots campaign is being mounted to sweep President Nixon back into office for another four years and give him a majority in Congress. The ambitious goal was outlined last week by Clark MacGregor in his first press conference since being tapped to succeed John Mitchell as head of the Committee for the Reelection of the President. MacGregor, a five-term "Minnesota congressman who lost his bid for the Senate, disclosed he has ordered an immediate step- up of efforts to Involve thousands of people at the precinct level in the GOP election campaign. He figures that If President Nixon can win by at least 51 percent of the vote in November, this will be sufficient go give him a "philosophic majority" in Congress.

By that, he means enough members of the House and Senate to back Nixon legislative programs, regardless of their party affiliation. If Mr. Nixon can get 54 or 55 percent of the vote, this would produce an absolute Republican majority in Congress, says MacGregor. "I THINK Mr. Nixon will be reelected," said MacGregor.

"But unless we do our part, his victory won't be large enough to give him a majority in Congress." In his meeting with newsmen, MacGregor warned against the "very dangerous feeling that Mr. Nixon is a shoo-in for reelection." He said he had detected a "lack of urgency" in the campaign apparatus since taking over his new job and announced he was shifting more campaign operatives into the field to accelerate organizational work. To gain a majority h) Congress, the GOP will have to pick up at least five Senate seats and more than 40 House seats. MacGregor was asked if divisive Democratic disputes over the Presidential nomination and convention delegates will help the Republicans.

"I expect his victory will depend on the positive record he has compiled as President. It will be a pro-Nixon vote, instead of an anti-opponent vote." He revealed that Mr. Nixon will do no political barnstorming at least until October, but will tend to business in the White House. "Performing as President is the best politics for him," he explained. On other points MacGregor: --Scoffed at suggestions that Democrats owned the youth vote, even if George McGovern is the nominee.

In 1863 opposition to the federal Conscription Act led to riots in New York Ciry, in which more than 1,000 persons were killed. In 1865 Horace Greeley wrote an editorial in the New York Tribune telling federal civil workers who disliked Washington, D.C., to "Go West, young man, go West and grow up with the country."

An Expression Of Dissent To the Editor; Petitions of protest against any proposed new taxation, namely the proposed police and fire service fee by the Welrton City Building Committee are being circulated in the city. The proposed fee in its present form is illegal and further un- constitutional In that It does not affect all persons and property similarly situated. It rather discriminates between the rich and the poor.

The Citizens League as of this time is petitioning for the right to have a referendum election, thus giving each voter of the city the right to support or reject this issue. There are over 50 petitions being circulated. Thirty five hundred signatures are needed for a referendum election which I will request of the common council if the proposed police and fire service fee is enacted. I represent the majority group, which are the poor people of the city. I am not interested In the minority group, the businessmen, who are attempting to tax the poor to free themselves of a business and occupational tax.

I will defend and uphold to the best of my ability the rights of the poor in their fight for a referendum election, should the council try to enact a police and fire service fee. SAMUEL J.IAQUINTA 3216 Weir Ave. Daflq Times 114 Lee W. Va. Home Delivery 60 cents Per WeeK.
