What Makes George Run? An AP News Analysis By REX THOMAS Associated Press Writer MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) George C. Wallace as the Democratic vice presidential nominee? Forget it, says one of his top campaign directors. "The governor told me just two days ago that under no circumstances at this time would he accept the vice presidential nomination," the aide said Thursday. "And I don't think he would." Then what makes George run? If the Alabama governor can force a first-ballot deadlock at the Democratic National Convention, he could try to pry delegates loose from other candidates--a difficult if not impossible task.

More than likely, he will seek concessions from the other presidential hopefuls. The governor has spoken of trying to influence the drafting of the party platform. Or, he might seek commitments from the other candidates to soften the impact of school busing for racial integration, if not oppose it altogether. Wallace would have to offer something in return, of course, like turning his delegates over to another contender willing to bargain with him. And that's where the whole thing could collapse.

Wallace could discover that he couldn't deliver. He may have difficulty, in fact, in keeping some of his delegates from turning against him on the first ballot. Wallace has said he expects to go to the convention in Miami Beach with 400 pledged delegates. He has shown surprising strength outside the South in the primaries, running second in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Indiana following a first-place showing in Florida. And on Thursday he ran away with the primary in Tennessee, polling about 70 per cent of the total vote cast.

The victory also captured the questionable commitment of all 49 Tennessee delegates, which he may have trouble holding. But the campaign aide who brushed aside the talks of a vice presidential spot said he feels that if Wallace is treated respectfully at Miami Beach, the convention will "wind it up" as far as the governor's role in the presidential campaign goes. "Otherwise," he added, "hell yes, he'll run as a third party candidate. Wallace Receives Rousing Reception in Michigan FLINT, Mich. (AP) Alabama Gov.

George Wallace, hitting hard at busing and his Democratic opponents for supporting it, arrived in Michigan Thursday to a rousing reception. Campaigning for the state's May 16 presidential primary election, Wallace threw rallies at Saginaw's Tri-City Airport and in Flint, where he had to hold two sessions because of the overflow crowd from this automotive town. While predicting a plurality of the state's vote would go to him, Wallace said no Democratic candidate would take a majority in the primary. He also said none of the hopefuls would have the nomination sewed up before the national convention, and that it would probably take several ballots to pick a nominee. Wallace's 10-day, 12-city tour of Michigan was interrupted by a trip to North Carolina to campaign for the primary there.

He is scheduled to return to Michigan next Monday. Wallace arrived from Tennessee, where, as expected, he swept to an overwhelming victory in that state's primary Thursday night. The governor addressed a packed house at Flint's Whiting Auditorium, and castigated Sens. Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota and George McGovern of South Dakota for their support of busing to achieve integrated schools. "Mr.

McGovern and Mr. Humphrey both voted to bus your children," he told an enthusiastic audience. "If anybody is against busing, I don't see how you can vote for them." When another 1,500 persons crowded outside the auditorium some of whom left, despair- McGovern Cuts Down Plans For Campaign in Michigan By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS chance to head the field in George McGovern has decided to cut down his campaign in Michigan in order to focus on primaries in Nebraska and California, according to a top campaign aide oE the South Dakota Senator.

Wallace also hit the war in Vietnam, claiming he had predicted in 1969 a Vietnam "Dunkirk" similar to recent action in South Vietnam's northern provinces if the U.S. did not destroy the effectiveness of the North Vietnamese.

(McGovern and Humphrey) should get you out of Vietnam," he said. "They got you in. If they were going to vote for the Gulf of Tonkin Resoulution, they should have been willing to win it." Wallace informed the cheering crowd of his victory in Tennessee, and predicted it would affect the uncommitted delegates in the nation's non-primary states. He compared Tennessee to Florida, which he also won, and predicted that a North Carolina victory. His only opponent there is former Gov.

Terry Sanford. In an attempt to counter the attack by Michigan organized labor on his campaign, Wallace called himself the "best friend of organized labor of Alabama." And he called the Democratic party apparently including labor-favored Humphrey no longer the party of the people but "the party of the eastern McGovern's plans leave only PTM i i an TM-inr for t.hfi intellectual snobbery that look two major contenders for the 132 Michigan delegate votes- George Wallace, who arrived in Michigan Thursday to begin a 12-city, 10-day swing through the state, and Minnesota Sen.

Wallace hopes to capitalize on the state's heavy blue-collar vote and high anti-busing emotion, while Humphrey attempts to cash in on his traditional favor with organized labor and black voters. McGovern's Michigan campaign chairman, Donald Tucker, denied that a firm decision had been made to cut down on the Senator's time in the slate.

Trial Will Be Moved HOWELL, Mich.

Livingston County Circuii Judge Paul Mahmske grantee the motion for change of venue for Raymond Humble, 23 and Mrs. Janet Lee Musser 17, both of Flint, because pub licity might prejudice prospec tive jurors.

Police said she had been beaten, shot and GOP Wil Switch Site Of Convention WASHINGTON (AP) The iwitch of the Republican nominating convention from San Diego to Miami Beach will be made official today by the Republican National Committee. The committee has been called into special session to consider Miami Beach's bid for the three-day convention opening Aug. 21.

Acceptance is only a formality. Party officials have been working for months to change the convention site, and have given their full support to Miami Beach's invitation. Its acceptance was recommended Thursday by the arrangements committee of the national committee. San Diego originally was picked reportedly at the urging of President Nixon, whose summer White House at San Clemente is only 50 miles away. But financial and space problems created difficulties that GOP National Chairman Robert Dole said recently have become insurmountable.

Financial arrangements for the San Diego convention also became a potential political embarrassment for the Republicans when it was disclosed that International Telephone Telegraph Corp. had promised to put up most of the money at a time it was seeking a favorable antitrust settlement from the federal government. Rep. Bob Wilson of San Diego, who played a key role in getting the convention assigned there, defended his city against the charge that it didn't have facilities or resources to stage it. Wilson blames the impasse that led to the search for a new site on the "greed, stubbornness and uncooperation" of Peter Graham, operator of the sports arena in which the contention was to be held.

Miami Beach, which will also host the Democratic National Convention starting July 10, offered the Republicans rent-free use of its conventional hall and free bus service for the delegates. The city has requested the federal government to provide a security force to help local police in case of demonstrations like those that marked both 1968 conventions.

"I have taken myself out of the primaries; I have not taken myself out of contention," Mus- kie said at his rented seaside villa in this golfing resort. Muskie said he couldn't estimate how many more nominating votes he might be able to get without participating in the primaries, or how many he would need to rebuild his battered candidacy in a divided I Democratic convention.

With Sens. Hubert H. Humphrey and George McGovern and Gov. George C. Wallace all doing primary election battle while Muskie retreated to a week's golfing holiday, that appeared to be an understatement of the odds against the one-time front runner.

Without Wallace, Muskie said, the chances would be pretty good that either Humphrey or McGovern could assemble first-ballot nomination strength.

8.8 Million Cars Recalled WASHINGTON (AP) Domestic automobile manufacturers recalled almost 8.8 million cars last year in 182 safety defect campaigns, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said. The total dwarfed the 740,000 vehicles recalled in 100 defect campaigns in 1970. i manufacturers, meanwhile, recalled more than 600,000 vehicles in 53 campaigns last year, compared with more than 500,000 in 54 campaigns in 1970. Federal regulations require that automobile manufacturers notify owners of any safety-related defects discovered in their equipment. Since the motor vehicle safety law went into effect in September, 1966, almost 25 million domestic and foreign vehicles have been recalled.

The 1971 recalls resulted mostly from defects in General Motors cars, including 6,682,000 Chevrolets of models from 1965 through 1969, called back to correct possible front engine- mount defects. n-Year-OId Girl Driver Stopped MILWAUKEE, Wis. (AP) -Authorities turned an 11-year- old girl over to her parents after stopping her for driving erratically on a local freeway. Deputy Sheriff David Smukowski said that when he stopped the station wagon Thursday, the young driver claimed she was a midget and pulled out a license which she insisted was hers. The youngster, whose parents said never had driven before, later told authorities she was going to visit her grandmother with three younger girls as her passengers in the family car.

The license was her mother's. Police reported $200 damage done to two parked cars which the girl allegedly struck on South Side streets.
