-THE SELMA TIMES-JOURNAL, SUNDAY, JULY 16, 1972 On Vietnam Secret Talks Hinted security affairs, who has held more than a dozen private sessions with North Vietnamese negotiators in the past three years, sat in on Nixons meeting with Rogers. Nixon, who has been working and relaxing at the Western White House for two weeks, attended funeral services in Riverside, Saturday for his aunt who helped launch him on a career of public service, then returned to the San Clemente compound to meet with Rogers. A spokesman said that Nixon probably would return to Washington on Tuesday. compound Friday, former Treasury Secretary John Connally emerged from a meeting with Nixon and accused Democratic presidential nominee George McGovern of sabotaging the Presidents peace efforts. Asked whether he agreed with Connallys statement, Rogers said McGoverns pledge to end the bombing of North Vietnam immediately and withdraw all American troops and support within 90 days would give our adversary exactly what he wants without any negotiation.

Kissinger, Nixons assistant for national Vietnamese negotiator, Le Due Tho, that he is ready to hold more private talks with Presidential adviser Henry Kissinger if Kissinger has something new to discuss. But Rogers said the United States is prepared to have any kind of diplomatic activity that holds out hope for peace. Rogers came to California to report to Nixon on the 11-nation around-the-world tour he completed on Wednesday. He said he found in the countries he visited that Nixon is regarded as the world leader in the cause for peace. At the ocean-front Nixon CLEMENTE, Calif.

George C. Wallace has begun four weeks of therapy and training designed to make him physically and occupationally independent. Wallace entered Spain Rehabilitation Center in the sprawling University of Alabama Medical Center complex Friday after spending nearly eight weeks at Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring, Md. Wallace received a spinal injury in a May 15 assassination attempt while campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination at a Laurel, shopping center. He is paralyzed from the waist down.

The governor, who spent last week at the Democratic National Convention in Miami Beach, will remain at the Spain Center until he is totally independent, Dr. George Traugh, a specialist in physical medicine, said. Traugh said Wallace would follow a normal hospital schedule and will get no preferential treatment at all. He is a patient who happens to be a governor. He added Wallace would be allowed to confer with aides and conduct state business only when the days therapy ends about 4:30 p.m.

Labor Endorsement Fight Looms AFL-CIOs General Board, a much larger group that includes the 35-man executive council and a principal officer of all 119 of the federations unions. Several union leaders who do not sit on the Executive Council have endorsed McGovern, or indicated they would endorse him, and cancellation of the general board meeting that had been scheduled for Chicago Aug. 28 would appear a further effort to squelch labor support for the Democratic nominee. Many labor officials scoffed at the idea that choosing Sen. Thomas Eagleton of Missouri as running mate would help McGovern assauge labor.

Eagletons vote in the Senate against federal funds for a supersonic transport airliner is not likely to help with the International Association of Machinists, who depend on the sagging aerospace and aircraft industries for jobs. It was reported also that Meany may cancel a scheduled meeting of the Wife Finally Told Of Husbands Death Many Fleeing N. Erin WASHINGTON (AP) -Labor patriarch George Meany girded Saturday for a bruising internal battle over whether the 13.6 million member AFL-CIO will endorse Democratic presidential nominee George McGovern, or give President Nixon the political advantage of a virtually neutral labor movement. Its going to be a real bloody mess, predicted one AFL-CIO headquarters source of next Wednesdays meeting of the labor federations 35-man ruling executive council to decide the issue. The 77-year-old Meany and the once-vaunted political strategists of the AFL-CIOs Committee on Political Education (COPE) left the Democratic National Convention in bitter disarray after badly losing their effort to block McGoverns nomination.

I never saw such a confused, unrealistic- group in my life, said one labor official who disagreed with COPEs efforts to push Sens. Hubert H. Humphrey, Edmund Muskie or Henry Jackson to the nomination long after it was apparent that, McGovqrn bad it. locked up. One AF-CiQ Reader, President Jerry Wurf of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Workers, switched from Muskie to McGovern just before the Democratic convention, and later sharply assailed COPE Director A1 Barkans die-hard efforts to stop McGovern.

Barkan played Humphreys game until Humphrey himself wouldnt play it any more, and he destroyed Muskie as a viable candidate," Wurf said. Meany and the AFL-CIO had said before the convention they would never help Alabama Gov. George Wallaces bid for the nomination, labeling him "anti-labor and a "racist. Wurf has few visible allies on the AFL-CIO executive council long ruled by Meany, but one insider said the council would split down the middle in a direct vote on whether to endorse McGovern. If the vote is simply on a decision not to make any endorsement this time, Meany probably would win against a handful of opponents on the council, leaving it up to the AFL-CIOs 119 individual labor unions whether to make their own presidential endorsements.

It would be the first time in the history of the AFL-CIO that it did not endorse a Democratic presidential candidate. Despite the AFL-CIOs attempt to block his nomination, including a harshly worded white paper attacking his record, McGovern continued his peace overtures to Meany. Meany has constantly attacked Nixon on virtually every issue except the Vietnam war. But few knowledgeable labor officials see much room for Meany to bury the hatchet he used to try to chop down McGoverns nomination. How can Meany make peace after that white paper that tried to paint McGovern black? asked one.

The 56-page document, prepared before the convention In Meany eighth-floor AFL-CIO headquarters offices overlooking the White House a block away, accused McGovern of being antilabor, against some civil rights issues and pro-Hanoi. Some saw Wednesdays battle a test of Meanys control over the labor federation. Wurf hinted he may try to bypass Meany and Barkan and set up a separate labor group to campaign for McGovern if the AFL-CIO votes to remain neutral. Much of Meanys support in opposing McGovern comes from the more conservative AFL-CIO construction and building trades unions representing some 3 million workers in 17 unions. Maritime unions also have a major quarrel with McGoverns opposition to shipping at least 50 per cent of U.S.

Their exit followed hours of shooting in which tyvg, soldiers and two supposed gunmen continuing violence in Belfast and other centers. The evacuation was organized by politicians who have close links with the Provisional Irish Republican Army, fighting to merge mainly Protestant Northern Ireland with predominantly Catholic Ireland. The departure brought charges from Protestants that the IRA would be organizing a weekend push against the British army.

Catholics, by contrast, contended that the British were planning sweeps through Catholic areas which had become IRA strongholds. One of the dead soldiers was a bomb disposal expert killed as he sought to defuse a milk churn packed with explosives on a country road near the border with Ireland. The other was a soldier shot dead in the Suffolk district of western Belfast, where troops have battled IRA gunmen over the past five days. win, lose or waffle, George McGovern already has made history by winningthe presidential nomination of a party more transformed, perhaps, than any other since Andy Jackson took political power from the elite and spread it to the rough, dirty hands of the frontiersmen. Only two items temper the confidence of the experts: the memory of their own predictions that George McGovern didnt have a chance at the nomination and the fact that he won it without the big party sultans and big labor.

But when it came time to discuss issues, the tightly controlled delegation with a few notable exceptions spoke as one in the words of seven middle aged white males representing a narrow spectrum of interests. Among them were: Bill France, 62, a genial giant who owns Daytona and Talladega, Speedways, the delegation chairman. He sat in on the innermost counsels of Wallace lieutenants. And Norman Bie, 46-yearold Clearwater attorney who masterminded the complex points of order raised by the Florida delegation during the opening night battle over seating contested California delegates.

They planned stragegy for the largest Wallace delegation on the convention floor and kept tight discipline on the 81 delegates. MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) For all the talk of an open peoples convention last week, Floridas Democratic delegation was a closed shop with seven bosses. All were white, all were men, all were businessmen or professionals between the ages of 43 and 62, and five were from Daytona Beach or Jacksonville. At a convention where young people, blacks, women, Indians, Chicanos, homosexuals and welfare recipients made their voices heard, Florida spoke with one voice in the Middle America words of Alabama Gov.

George C. Wallace. The minorities were pulled into the Democratic affairs as never before by reform rujes promoted by Sen. George McGovern, who became the partys nominee. As much as leaders of the Florida delegation criticized the reforms and accused McGovern of changing them to suit his purpose, they made masterful use of the rules to control their delegation.
