I 1 2-LANCASTER, NEW I APRIL 5, 1972 HUMPHREY THIRD McGovern Wins, Wallace Is 2nd (Continued from Page One) as a major contender in the public mind," he said. Wallace, in another strong showing after his Florida victory on March 14, rode late rural returns into second place. Humphrey led in two districts with 13 convention votes. President Nixon easily won the state's 28 GOP Convention delegates in the Republican primary. FAR BEHIND In the Democratic balloting, returns from 99 per cent of the 3,294 Wisconsin precincts gave McGovern 30 per cent, Wallace 22 per cent and Humphrey 21 per cent.

The other nine Democrats trailed far behind. Muskie, once the overwhelming Democratic frontrunner, suffered another smashing setback with fourth-place finish and only 10 per cent of the vote. This could cripple his ability to raise funds for crucial primaries ahead in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Ohio. He vowed to press on and said those states are "more favorable ground." "I don't know the meaning of the word quit," he added. JACKSON FIFTH Sen.

Henry M. Jackson of Washington finished fifth in Wisconsin after a finish in Florida and place ceded, "I'd like to have done better." An aide denied rumors he would quit the race, saying Jackson plans a major effort in Ohio. Lindsay, however, looked at returns placing him sixth after his poor fifth in Florida and said, don't think I can honestly deny them. Hence, I am withdrawing as a candidate." There was no immediate indication where his support might go. An aide to John Burns, his national campaign director, paid what was described as a social call on Humphrey.

The total number of votes in the Democratic primary was four times that in the GOP contest, indicating many Republicans took advantage of the state law allowing voters to cast ballots in either primary. McGovern and Wallace appeared to be major beneficiaries of the GOP crossovers. DEMO CROSSOVERS Slightly more than half of Wisconsin's voters usually vote Republican in presidential elections--Democrats have carried it only once since 1948-indicating that as many as one-third of the Democratic votes could have been crossovers. McGovern, appearing today on the CBS Morning News, gave himself a 50-50 chance to win the nomination. Wallace was interviewed separately on the show.

"It's 50-50 we'll go all the way and win enough delegates by the time we get to Miami Beach," the South Dakota senator said. McGovern said his vote showing indicated broadbased support. Wallace said second-place finish, after he spent only eight days campaigning in the state without precinct organization, proved that he was not a regional candidate. Wallace said future campaigns in Michigan, Indiana, Maryland, West Virginia and, possibly, Pennsylvania would be better organized and financed now that he had proven "I am a viable candidate." 34 PER CENT IN 1964 Wallace also has done well in Wisconsin primaries in the past. He won 34 per cent of vote in the state's 1964 Democratic McGovern primariended a Wallace vote was a vote of protest whereas a McGovern vote was a vote of protest with a hope for positive alternatives solutions.

Wallace, predicting he may garner more than 300 delegates before the Democratic National Convention, commented that McGovern had spent 14 years in Congress without offering the "relief and reform" programs he advocates as a presidential aspirant. Later, on the NBC "Today" show, McGovern said he felt Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey was now his toughest competitor and the Massachusetts primary on April 25 his next crucial test. McGovern said he hoped that Lindsay, who withdrew from the race, would endorse him.

He said that some members of the Lindsay organization had indicated they would move into his camp. McGovern agreed that he and Wallace "got a lot of the same vote" in Wisconsin. But he added. "The people who are dissatisfied supported me more than any other candidate." Seeks to Raise $6 Million Raise (Continued budgets, we have overcome the fiscal crisis and have established a stable financial base for forward "That required reduction of payroll, reassignment of staff responsibilities trimming of expense, and maximizing efficiency in those activities of the college which produce revenue," he explained. "As a result, we have not only erased past deficits, but have baianced our budget for 1972-73.

With continued fiscal responsibility, which is a guiding principle of the college, we will again be in balance in 1973- 74.12 He said the trustees decided that with the crisis brought to bay "the time is appropriate for the college to take new steps to assure its future strength and to maintain front rank of liberal arts colleges." "The campaign is to be a positive thrust in that direction, and we are in a strong position now to make that move," he said. Spalding said the college will not be asking for gifts to cover deficits. Rather, he stated, "we shall be asking our friends to invest in a healthy institution to assure dynamic future for Franklin and Marshall." Spalding said the trustees' decision to give high priority to the college center program from Page One) reflects their continuing concern for the total we of students attending and "their belief that the job of private colleges like Franklin and Marshall is to help, young people recognize their full potential as The central thrust of the campaign aims at giving a learning environment which recognizes and deals deliberately with all dimensions of the educational process, he said. Spalding said throughout te campaign the college will continue to stress the need for operating funds. NEEDED INCOME "All of our studies in recent months clearly show we receive in gift income at least $500,000 for operating purposes in each of the next three years to continue the high quality level of our academic program," he said.

These funds, he said, enable to keep pace with new knowledge through library acquisitions, scientific and instructional equipment, program innovations, curricular renewal, and research opportunities for students and faculty. 1971, raised $451,000 through its annual fund for operating purposes. The idea of a college center at has been discussed on and off for more than 30 years. Mrs. Reigle Is Retiring in July (Continued traveling, visits with her grandchildren and later on, becoming involved in volunteer work.

The director is the widow of C. Brooks Reigle. She lives at Leola R1. Since she started working at the museum in 1953, she has helped catalogue 28,000 items and has worked on the listing of 10,000 others, a project of which she says "only a fraction is completed." Looking towards the future of the museum, Mrs. Reigle thinks that its greatest aim in development should be in the three operating farms planned for the grounds.

These plans include farms from the pioneer, federal and Victorian periods and would feature demonstrations of the cultivation of crops by early methods and the stocking of farms. FURNITURE SHORTAGE Mrs. Reigle explains that the museum has made excellent use of the Landis collection and reminds that some artifacts remain in storage. "The only thing lacking in the Landis collection was good furniture." During the first year the museum was in operation under the PMC, there were 3,000 visitors. A few years ago, its high point of annual visitation was 132,000.

As the visitors, exhibits, buildings and grounds have grown, so have the administrative duties, Mrs. Reigle points out. 'REGRESSIVE' CURATOR She thinks that with the development of the living farms on the grounds, a curator of agriculture will be needed, "one who thinks regressively, who would be familiar with the early methods of breeding she explained as an example. A curator of education, or possibly a department of education, is another area of need brought out by Mrs. Reigle.

Such an area would time to developing programs for local school children: "I would like to see the time when the children are brought in here and actually work on crafts. We're only scratching the surface at present with the field trips here." Mrs. Reigle adds that she would also like to see the admininistration building at Landis Valley used more as a City Zoners OK 2. Apartments The city zoning board Monday granted a variance to Sara Ann Laing, 550 W. Chestnut for two apartments.

In other action, it approved variances for: Christ Hampilos, 532 W. Chestnut a closed porch, and Mrs. Mildred H. Fisher, 45 W. Vine one apartment and an office.

Special exceptions went to the Bell Urban Development 22 W. Chestnut three apartments, and Gertrude F. Kline, 127 E. Frederick doctor's office and a dwelling unit. A decision was reserved in an appeal from Serena A.

Kirchner, 748 Poplar for a parking lot. The appeal of H. H. Martin, for a used car lot office and trailer, was rescheduled for next month. FHA Acts to Cancel Loan For New Square (Continued from Page One) side construction site from the Lancaster Redevelopment Authority.

A high source in the Philadelphia office of the Department of Housing and Urban Development said today since the developer hasn't yet asked for a time extension, the loan application already "is dead." Mrs. Chait was not available for comment this morning. "An official, of the company, told upcoming notice, said, "I don't Mrs. Chait would want to comment on it." PROPOSED FOR SIDE Proposed for the west side of the new square is a 10-story office building and a 15-story apartment complex, along with smaller retail stores. Donald B.

Hostetter, executive director of the redevelopment authority, expressed surprise when told of the 10- day extension extended to the developer by HUD. "I'm disappointed in this extension. But I won't comment get official word from Mr. Patterson," he asserted. SAME DEADLINE Mayor Thomas J.

Monaghan said the 10 days were probably extended to the developer so it would come out at the same time the April 14 deadline set by the authority. "And too, I think the administrators are leaning over backwards not to injure the city community. "When they pick a figure like 10 days what they're probably doing is attempting to be fair with the community on deadlines and not embarrass it. I appreciate this very much," said Mayor Mona- ghan. CONTINUES SEARCH Hostetter noted he is still continuing his search for another developer for the new square which began about six ago after he took the weeks, the authority.

Although Second North Queen has been handed an April 14 deadline, it has a day grace period, taking it to May 14 to exercise its option rights on the west side construction site. Over the past two years, the developer has gained numerous extensions on the land option. After the death of Mrs. Goldie Hoffman, former president of Second North Queen, last year, construction in the new square has remained at a virtual standstill. Official Indicted On Tax Evasion PHILADELPHIA (AP) The Delaware County Register of Wills has been indicted on charges he a de more than $30,000 in taxes seven years ago.

The indictment against Walter T. ReDavid, a Republican, was returned by a federal grand neury, in U.S. District Court Tuesday. Police Probe Attempt To Rob Amish Youths State police were searching early this afternoon for two persons in a car who reportedly pulled a gun in a holdup attempt on a group of Amish youths near Pequea Valley High School. Police, who did not have full details, did not know the ages or the number of Amish youths involved, but said they foiled the holdup attempt by running away.

The incident reportedly happened on Amish Road, about a mile from Pequea Valley High School, around 1:15 p.m. People in the News Associated Press services.

VOWED 'FIGHT TO FINISH' Lindsay Bows Out of Demo Presidential Race MILWAUKEE, Wis.

(AP) Though they may have known it was coming, John V. Lindsay's supporters groaned a heavy "no" midway through the New York mayor's announcement he was quitting the Democratic presidential race. About 300 persons, mostly young and dressed for a celebration, packed the hotel Tuesday night which was to have served as victory headquarters. 'FIGHT TO FINISH' Lindsay--who vowed a "fight to the finish" when he began his campaign 14 weeks ago--did not appear until 11 p.m. and despite rumors he would bow out, his fans milled between a pay-bar and dance floor with exuberance.

Children were scattered around, despite the late hour, toting red, white and blue balloons while a rock band droned in the corner, trying to fill the delay. "We want John Lindsay," they chanted as a master of ceremonies put them through their paces in rehearsal for the mayor's appearance. A hint of what was to come was provided by one speaker who said he was very proud to be associated with Lindsay, "no matter how the vote was." Lindsay a former Republican who turned Democrat eight months ago, prefaced his withdrawal with thanks to his supporters and and "Wisconsin's unending courtesy, hospitality and kindness." "The returns appear, and I don't think I can honestly deny them," he said. "Hence, I am withdrawing as a candidate but I want you to know that I will continue to fight for the principles I believe." With 98 per cent of the vote tallied, Lindsay had 7 per cent of the total for sixth place in the 12-candidate field. Sanford Opens Headquarters In Washington WASHINGTON (AP) Former North Carolina Gov.

Terry Sanford, who announced his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination March 8. opened his national campaign headquarters here today. Sanford, now president of Duke University, will run his campaign from a six-room suite in a Washington office building. A top campaign aide of Hubert H. Humphrey in 1968, Sanford has entered only one primary, the May 6 ballotting in North Carolina.

Some observers have described Sanford's candidacy as an effort to take votes away from Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace in the North Carolina primary. 0thers say he is interested in party's vice presidential nomination. A Welcomes Former First Lady Pat Olympic star Jesse Owens Tuesday and received a the U.S.

Loses 2 Guitars CHET ATKINS, well known guitarist and recording star, has lost two guitars. Atkins lost one of the instruments between Hashville and Calgary, and the second between Toronto and Cleveland, Ohio, last week during a Canadian tour. Atkins, who sometimes purchases an extra airline ticket SO his instruments can accompany checked guitars with the airlines. "When I got ready to do my concert in Calgary," he said, "the Gretsch was gone. I had to borrow one, which wasn't too to do, since they're sold all over the country." The second guitar was a classic Barbero flamenco model that Atkins said is irreplaceable.

Autopsy Shows Crash Victims Were Drinking PIKESVILLE, Md. (AP) Six Pennsylvania men killed in an auto crash in Frederick County last Friday had been drinking, an autopsy report released by Maryland State Police indicates. The six were killed instantly when their speeding car hit a guardail and then rammed a concrete bridge abutment along Interstate 70S early March 31, police said. The autopsy indicated one victim had a blood alcohol content of .20 per cent. Police said that reading was on the victim whose father owned the car.

Police were uncertain as to who drove the car. Alcohol percentages for the other victims, five of them Penn State graduates, were .04, .08, .12, .15 and .18, police said the report showed.

But, upstairs in his campaign headquarters, there were no hurrahs. "I wouldn't have quit SO soon," one worker said. The female staff members stood around in their long skirts looking glum while the male campaign workers started hauling portable television sets out of press rooms. One organizer fretted about getting all the rented cars back while another leafed through a two inches of airline tickets.

Some others looked ahead to possibly another election year. They took down each other's names and addresses to keep in touch. Longer Parking At PO Backed Time limits for meter parking at the Lancaster Post Office from 12 minutes to halfan-hour were approved by the city traffic commission Tuesday. City council must yet act on the traffic commission's decision before the new meter limits take effect. Until that time, the current 12-minute meter time will prevail.

The commission also voted to ask the state for a permit to have a traffic light at the i intersections of Ross Street with N. Lime and N. Plum streets. The traffic light at Ross and Plum streets has been in existence for at least eight years, but the city never bothered to ask for a state permit to have one there. TOPICS PLAN The commission also voted to ask the state to coordinate the two traffic lights in Ross Street with the TOPICS traffic plan.

The change in the meter limits beside the post office came at the request of Postmaster Jeremiah Moore who said passport applications which the post office is now processing take longer than 12 minutes to fill out in most cases. The 14 meters on Chestnut and Prince streets next to the post office will be changed to allow 15 minutes parking for a nickel and 30 minutes parking for a dime, with a 30 minute maximum. community center by groups whose purpose would relate to the museum. The director, who is a Mative of Steelton, attended Temple University where she was a physial education major. She married, became the mother of three daughters and occasionally officiated at women's basketball games and taught ballroom and tap dancing.

With these qualifications and a hankering to learn more about antiques, one day in 1953 she stopped by the museum to inquire about becoming a volunteer. She ended up with a job as a guide, a position she held for two years before her appointment as curator. She says she had visited the museum before the PMC acquired the collection and was impressed with the entire array of artifacts and tools. She first worked with Carl Drepperd, the first acting director, who aroused her intellectual curiosity about antiques. Mrs.

Reigle credits him for her expertise in being able to analyze and identify PRIMITIVE PIECES Her work in the area of studying the wear on an item in trying to determine its purpose has led her to find the primitive artifacts more appealing to her own interests. From cleaning and working with various pieces in her blue jeans with staff members to dress affairs when staffers entertain the PMC members, Mrs. Reigle says, "That's what's been great about this staff of ours we always pitch in together for all projects." She also says that a person can develop more appreciation for a job by having worked in every phase of its development. But, she adds, "I've never achieved a knowledge of one particular area it's been a great variety of jobs. No boredom.

No monotony. This has been a creative opportunity a job where you could have ideas and see them grow with the help of others." Mrs. Geigle is obviously proud of her staff and is somewhat reluctant to admit that one of the challenges the job has presented is meeting her own drive in getting museum projects completed.

District Judge Aubrey E. Robinson ruling in a suit brought by more than 30 major oil companies, invalidated a Federal Trade Commission regulation requiring the firms to post the ratings. Robinson, in the decision announced Tuesday, said the FTC does not have "substantive, rulemaking authority" as it had claimed.
