The International Brotherhood of Teamsters has broken away from the traditional position of supporting Democratic candidates by endorsing President Nixon for re-election.

The fact that the endorsement was expected brings no comfort to McGovern, Teamster support of the President on the Pay Board has been consistent.

Here in a nutshell is what we found out by listening in to his Dot al Hotel suite. Despite denials, McGovern Is still a stalking horse for Teddy plan is for McGovern to campaign until November. Then, if he wins the election, he will ask Kennedy to be sworn in as president in his place. The McGovern strategists figure this is the only way Kennedy will accept the presidency in 1972. IN EXCHANGE for bowing out as president, McGovern is" going to be rewarded by being made secretary of agriculture.

This will help him with his electorate in South Dakota. The 'Kennedy people have agreed to this in principle. The tapes also indicate that the reason the McGovern strategists selected Tom Eagleton as the vice-president tal candidate Is that the American people are ready lora calm administration after the excitement of Nixon's last lour years. They feel the people will buy the steady plodding manner ol McGovern and Eagleton alter living with the swinging glamorous Nixons. This is a direct quote from the tapes by McGoverns top advisers.

Some can be expected to sup- port Nixon, others McGovern, while still others will practice a form of, neutrality, no matter how Meany states his own position. For the first time since the Roosevelt coalition was formed in the 1930s, a Democratic presidential nominee is running with a weakened base in organized labor.

Instead of starting his campaign with a rock-firm financial and psychological labor foundation, McGovern must spend valuable effort in trying to woo the labor leaders as his campaign develops. The old belief that labor leaders can only a campaign organization genius would be able to weld them together Despite their deep roots in the Democratic Party, labor leaders are showing little interest and in certain cases distinct animosity toward such a union. Perhaps McGoverns new: coalition can produce the necessary votes and money to offset his losses in labor.

The petulant, money-hungry behavior of the American player in the tournament at Reykjavik, Iceland, has been so bad that it is embarrassing.

The bugging also revealed that the McGovern people plan to make the big issue of the campaign non-union lettuce.

The plan is to announce just before November that if the Demo-. crats are elected to the While Housthe President will promote Colonel Harlan Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken fame to general and put him in charge of the withdrawal of all American troops Also the tapes revealed it was no accident that McGovern and Eagleton made their acceptance speeches in Miami Beach at 3 o'clock in the morning.

Copyright You can tell sonic people to start cutting down on their calories and they say, Yes, doc'- tor, and go on eating the way they always have. In this case, maybe the doctor decided that if he laid down -an absolutely rigid eating pattern, II might work. Well, evidently it did. But 1 suspect that both he and I would have been better pleased if the patient would settle down into a-diet that would keep excess weight off instead of whacking it liff in crash fashion.

Hell usually upstage any retired man in sight if he can. And there are many tricks for doing it? Few retired people, for instance, ever disclose what hidden assets they have an inherited farm, big severance pay or 30 years of secret They draw on these to make a show. Just as effectively they can manipulate a budget to fool anybody. They can buy a shiny new car by moving into an apartment and blowing the money they got from their home.

Theres no outfiguring people, i I Copyright 1972 On the editorial page, July 15, the president of the National Education Association-South Bend was cited as presenting a Misleading Claim in stating that the South Bend Community School Corporation Board of Trustees had only offered a 1.7 per cent salary increase, which is below the rise in the cost of living. The. editorial The rate of inflation has slowed to a point that no teacher would lose income if the increase is no higher than the boards offer. Also, it stated, What he failed to note was that teachers already have a built-in salary increment of 4 per cent a year for added experience.

First, it should be noted: the salary issue is only 1 of 17 unresolved issues. The federal government in its wage and price freeze exempts regular increments in its 5.5 per cent permitted raise in salary'. As the editorial stated, it is for added experience. This does not place it in the position of meeting a rise in the cost of living. Further, the increment is not 4 per cent for all teachers.

The average raise in salaries due to increment is 2.3 per cent. Even adding this to the 1.7 per cent increase offered by the Board results in a figure averaging a 4 per cent increase in salary to teachers having increments coming. This is below the rise in the cost of living. There are 350 teachers at the top of the salary1'. scale who have no increment coming.

He was retired and not too active.

His doctor recommended that he go on a diet for one week only, drinking one quart of milk and one quart of fruit juice daily at twojiour intervals Most of his fat was around the abdomen. At the end of the wcek'he had lost eight pounds and felt great. What is your opinion of the diet? Would you recommend Well, the diet worked, didn't it? But no, 1 doubt if I would have recommended it. Weight reduction does indeed benefit some (not necessarily all) angina Sufferers, but if an angina patient is overweight, he should get" rid of the excess poundage regardless of whether it makes him feel better right away. It will surely help in the long run.

The diet you describe is drastic, unbalanced and monotonous in my opinion.

With Senator McGovern as the President, we will have a fulltime man of the people and not a chairman of the board of ITT living in the White House. With Senator Eagleton as Vice-President, we will have a man of deep concern and high intellect, not as we now have, to quote Mr. Agnew, a supercilious snob.

So he attacks Nixon for the 20,000 (who) have come home in coffins from Vietnam since he took the White House. McGovern declares his party is no "tool of ITT or any other special interest. He and wasteful economics" of 5 million unemployed, a tax system which penalizes the hard-worknig and what he says is the administrations refusal to deal with tax reform in an election year On the other track, McGovern pro i ses ari pfoTn'Ts and promises. Within 90 days of his inauguration, "every American soldier and every "American prisoner will be" out' of the jungle and out of their and back home in America where they belong. MOREOVER, McGovern promises: guaranteed jobs for every American able to work; a reinvigorated private economy; an end to price and wage controls; national health insurance; total tax reform; safe streets and so on.

The Democratic nominee is a man the American people havent seen much of yet. Even his acceptance speech was fated to be delivered in convention hall when nearly all Americans were fast asleep. He begins his campaign well behind; the latest Gallup Poll shows Mr. Nikon at 53 per cent, McGovern at 37 per cent and 10 per cent undecided). Superlatives about McGovernS' rise from zero to the nomination notwithstanding, in 14 Democratic primaries, he got 3.8 million votes, only a bare beginning to get acquainted with the nation.

but Mcgovern is charged with ambttion. Nice Guy is a myth He can be rough, impulsive and throatgrabbing politically, Faced with disfavor from Catholics and middle-brow Americans in the primaries, McGovern backed off a half-dozen social issues which helped win him his original constituency three years ago. When the word passed through the Jewish community that he -had wavered on Israel, McGovern quickly fired, off a salvo of reassurances which made Sen. Henry jScoop) Jackson sound like a Dove. 7 Similarly, McGovern instructed his operatives in the platform writing exercise that --advanced posit -partial-" larly on abortion, amnesty and a yl i ra Tib hTw if "be "quashed, even'd that meant McGovern's followers voting against their consciences.

McGoverns convention kept cool disciplined In his acceptance speech, McGovern showed conciliation for the scattered array of failed Democratic aspirants. He uttered a longer tribute to Gov. George Wallace than for anybody else, knowing the depth ol the Wallace feeling in the republic. In choosing Sen. Thomas insurance company thinks I'm a poor risk.

He rubs their grain the wrong way, and his impulsive remarks don't help, Tradition-, al-mtndcd Americans dont want their President to beg Hanois Communist leaders for anything.

Nor do they agree with McGovern's liken-' ing U.S. military action in Vietnam with Hitler's extermination of the Jew's. And they certainly dont like his espousal of busing to implement school integration, especially when he cleverly avoided the issue his own personal life. McGovern faces more than the test of Mr. Nixon, who might prove to be an elusive opponent.

The senator must somehow get Dick Daley, labor and the Wallace people back. He must stop what looks like a llow of Catholic voters to Republicanism, and cheek any defections hf Jewish voters to Mr. Nixon whotn the Israelis w'ould be very happy to live with for four more years. Democrats have a way of coming together at the end of a presidential election, and Mr. Nixon has a habit of coming apart at the same juncture.

Copyright 1972 by South Never THE By PAUL THERE ARE too many letters coming to your column from people who talk about their money for retirement. I think some of these people may have money problems, but it seems to me most of them have envy problems. They see other retired people apparently living lush lives and are jealous because theyre afraid they cant do as well. F.R.V. THERE IS JUST enough truth in your comment to make it interesting.

While many retired people are genuinely concerned over whether their money will see them through after all, retirement is Indian country and they havent been there before some are having vanity pains.
