July 12, 1972 The Scranton Tribune McGovern Assured Of Being Nominee (Continued From First Page) home early in disgust. Wallace's Flordia supporters said they would stay as "the sole major last bastion of defense against ultra-liberal, movement." In the convention keynote address, Gov, Reubin Askew of Florida, sounding themes used by both McGovern and Wallace, urged Democrats to unite behind a "coalition of protest" against unfair taxation and by the few." McGovern's name will be placed in nomination Wednesday night by Sen. Abraham Ribicoff of Connecticut. One of the seconding speeches will be delivered by Mrs. Valerie M.

Kushner, 29, of Danville, whose husband, Maj. Harold H. Kushner, has been a Viet Cong captive since 1967. Humphrey showed no personal animosity against Some of the Minnesota tor's aides suggested he refrained from endorsing McGovern at this time because of the AFL unyielding opposition the South Dakotan. Spokesmen hinted privately that the giant, millionmember labor federation, 'a traditional source of Democratic support, might sit out the election rather than back McGovern over PresidentN ixon.

McGovern, the 49-year-old South Dakota senator who began his campaign 18 months ago and climaxed it with a dazzling display of power at the his spent Doral much Hotel of penthouse suite working on his acceptance speech for Thursday night. With his party deeply split over his impending nomination, McGovern for the first time previous promise qualified, total U.S. withdrawal from Indochina within three months of his election. In a statement accepting an endorsement from Families for Immediate Release, McGovern said he would keep U.S. "residual in Southeast Asia until all American prisoners of war are although "I am fully confident that there would be no such, need." Gov.

George C. Wallace meanwhile appeared in a wheelchair on the Democratic convention floor Tuesday night to demand personally that (Tuesday night to demand delegates personally that delegates emend the pro-McGovern party! platform to include a strong plank against busing. The campaign manager for the paralyzed victim of an assassination attempt, Charles Snider, said that "if they don't come up with a platform! reason for us (the against busing, there is no to run in November. Busing is the only issue where ,75 per cent of the people agree." Wallace's appearance at the Convention Hall in the state where he won his biggest primary triumph four months ago was another dramatic moment, in a McGovern's convention forces that in almost complete command. Humphrey, who congratulated McGovern by telephone before dawn Tuesday on his victory, made his withdrawal announcement shortly axis campaign director, Jack Chestnut.

The 61-year-old former vice president and unsuccessful 1968 nominee said he would not permit his name to be placed in nomination for the presidency Wednesday night and that he was "now releasing my delegates to vote as they wish." His voice quavering, Humphrey said he had fought good within the rules of the game" and in a "spirit of friendship" as a member of the Democratic family. Humphrey made no mentcon of McGovern by name, and (offered no his eyes endorsement brimmed in with: tears and he managed to smile with obvious difficulty. State Muskie Delegates Move to Back Jackson (Continued From First Page) candidate of the center, is doing 60. Mrs. Mary Salerno, Forge, released by the Muskie withdrawal from a first ballot claim on her, said she would vote Jackson.

John Guzey, AR avid Muskie supporter, though anticipating McGovern will be the nominaicated the convention, he will back the Jackson movement. Atty. Henry P. Burke, the third Lackawanna Muskie delgate, was not at the caucus, presumably because of his involvement in platform activities. Mrs.

Ann Marie Bursis, Muskie delegate from Honesdale, though expressing privately a feeling the party should unite, said she would give Jackson scenario a try. John' Connell, West Pittston, showed no hesitancy about his intetion of going to McGovern "and party" now that the Muskie candidacy is terminated. While a couple of Muskie delegates rose to say that their interest in the party places them now in the McGovern column, impassioned appeals for Jackson were made by Philadelphia and labor delegates. One McGovern convert said the Jackson switch is "an exercise in futility" and called for a halt to further strife. He expressed a disappointment Chicago Mayor Daley's convention defeat, but displayed readiness to accept the convertion's will as shown in critical ballots in Monday night's session.

Jackson advocates stressed his centralist-moderate views, implying that they did not like McGovern's inclination to left, and one speaker said the Jerry Rubins and the "kotoks" behind McGovern not McGovern himself, worried him. Gerald McEnteg, Philadelphia man, related how his union, nationally, endorsed Muskie, and told of efforts months ago to get McGovern out, but how McGovern pledged to persist and has done so. He urged building on McGovern, and pointed out the low vote tally Jackson received when he ran in primaries, but McEnteg was questioned by Robert H. "Pop" Jones, Scranton, member of the Democratic National Committee, on reports of antilabor votes by McGovern. Jones also asked why so many labor leaders were backers of and said he would have to know Humphrey instead of Me McGovern where McGovern stands on labor.

Chairman Camiel at that point dropped a hint that delegates today might hear of a strong national labor endorsement of Jackson. Mrs. John O'Shea, another Philadelphia delegate, turned in strong for Jackson and said "we must have an alternative" in that McGovern does not resent a majority." Chairman Camiel's daughter, appointed to the delegation, spoke as a "young person" and said Jackson would be a candidate to represent everyone in the party.

Askew said people were questioning a system "that they feel has become so large, the so complicated, so unwieldly, that it has gone beyond their reach." But, he said, "there's something happening in this country. It already has been given many names, and undoubtedly will be given many more I believe that we're coming to the dawn of the maturing of America (when) Americans will understand the failure of violence as a way of promoting or of resisting change." Askew called on his party to lead the way into this new tomorrow, declaring that "if we can pool our strength and harness our energy, if we can join the wisdom of yesterday to the hope of tomorrow, if we can talk together, if we can work together, and above all, if we can stay together, then nothing can stop us from making a change and winning a better life for all our people."
