I THE SACRAMENTO BEE Page Al24 Thursday July 13 1972 Harris Survey November Winner Must Be On Issues Adaptable ago At this juncture of the campaign the peace issue is working strongly on behalf of the man in the White House although continued US in volvement in Vietnam at election time could blunt some of this that of most economists or if the President should reinstate the wage-price freeze then the economy issue could be neutralized in one fell swoop although it is unlikely to help Nixon materially is still considerable upset over growing crime drug abuse and purported permissiveness toward the young For example by 68 to 25 per cent a big majority favors "stiffer penalties on hard drug users" and opposes the legalization of the sale of marijuana by an even more lopsided 77-16 per cent Americans also oppose "amnesty for those who fled the country to escape the draft" by 53-38 per cent I should he decide to run as a third-party independent candidate Peace Issue quest for peace in the world has deep appeal to a war-weary American people Although skeptical that East-West tensions will disappear overnight public support for reaching accords with both mainland China and the Soviet Union run high The abiding public will is to liquidate US Vietnam involvement with some semblance of honor The most striking political development of 1972 has been the capacity of Nixon to capture the peace issue despite a step-up in US air and naval attacks on North Vietnam A solid majority still backs Nixon on his order to mine Haiphong Harbor But in taking his dramatic trips to Peking and Moscow the President has scored most heavily on the peace issue A substantial 64 per cent of the voters now credit him with high marks for "working for peace in the world" up from 48 per cent a year Nixon's advantage However in the aggregate this roster of issues is not cutting as deeply IICINV as in 1968 partly because Nixon has presided at the White House for the past four years and partly because Wallace has most capitalized on them The best bet about 1972 is that the electorate will not divide along right-left ideological lines for in many ways the center in American politics has been wiped out If Nixon wins it is likely to be because he has neutralized the Vitnam and economy issues and has captured public imagination with a radical approach to dealing with the Communist superpowers If McGovern wins it will be because the tides of antiestablishment feeling demanded radical change at home and in the leadership of the country Above all this is far from a normal political year and normal traditional politics simply will no longer suffice for one man or the other to make it to the White House (Copyright! 1972 ChIcarm TribuneNrw York News Svndicate Inc World Rights Reserved) This disenchantment with the establishment has produced an accelerated sense of alienation among the voters up from 40 to 47 per cent just in the past year For example the feeling that "what you think doesn't count much" has increased from 44 to 53 per cent since 1971 and the concern that "people who have power are out to take advantage of you" has gone up from 33 to 38 per cent in the past 12 months alone This mood finds its most visible manifestation in the issue of tax reform By a nearly unanimous 9010-6 per cent voters favor "tax reform with higher taxes for upper income people and corporations and lower taxes for lower income people" A substantial 74 per cent of the voters feel ''the tax laws were written to help the rich not the average man" This sense of antiestablishment alienation is probably McGovern's single most powerful ally in this election However the disenchantment also would help Gov George Wallace By Louis Harris In a curious way the personalities of both President Nixon and Sen George McGovern are likely to be dwarfed in this fall's election by the much larger and deeper sources of change and concern which pervade the United States in 1972 The outcome next Nov 7 well could hinge on the ability of each candidate to adapt to the more basic currents that are running among the electorate than on how well either might apper in a political beauty contest Here are the prime underlying facts in this presidential election: both the public and private sector the establishment is under heavy attack Since 1966 public confidence in the leaders of business has slipped from 55 to 27 per cent while at the same tme respect for the US Supreme Court has dropped from 51 to 19 per cent for the executive branch of government from 41 to 19 per cent and the military from 62 to 24 per cent Prices Employment the economists have proclaimed the recession as long since past the scar tissues on the minds of the American people are far from mended A sizable majority of 59 per cent of the public still feels prices are rising faster than last year and 42 per cent think unemployment in their area is still increasing The twin worries of inflation and fear of joblessness still bite deep Nixon achieves his lowest marks from the public in the area of his handling of the economy A natural Democratic issue the bread-and-butter area of concern helps McGovern However should the public's estimate of the state of the economy catch up with Nixon's Advantage This roster of concerns never has been the kind of dominant issues some political analysts have claimed for it Nonetheless to the extent personal safety can be tied to the explosive emotional issue of "busing to achieve racial balance" (now opposed by 81 per cent of the public) it will work to Vietnam

spokesman said the craft was low on fuel and predicted it would return to shore as it did A spokesman for National whose Miami to New York milk run was hijacked Wednesday night said a ransom had been paid but he wouldn't give any figures The hijackers had been furnished with parachutes at Philadelphia Their destination was unknown when the escape plane departed about 5:30 am The original hijacked plane ran out of gas shortly after it landed at Philadelphia and then lost its electrical power killing the air conditioning In another hijacking in Oklahoma City an armed man who collected 8550000 ransom abandoned an apparent planned try to escape by parachute and surrendered meekly to a stewardess His pistol had no bullets but officers did not know that until the hijacking of the Dallas-bound American Airlines jet was all over The escape plane demanded by the identified as an Ethopian national named "Taffa" and the other identified only as a man named not arrive from Miami until more than

latter slated for catch-up raises are California Water Project workers for a total of 1212 to 1312 per cent highway patrolmen for 912 to 1012 per cent and correctional officers for 15 per cent Just how that 90 per cent portion of the inequity money will be distributed will be decided by the State Personnel Board To Seek Exception Dwight said the state will press its case for an exception to inflation control guidlines to permit eventually paying the full inequity increases retroactively in succeeding paychecks While the bulk of state workers are now largely assured of their raises the state college and University of California faculty and other employes at these institutions are not The faculty members have not had cost-ofliving increases for 36 months Their raises average 712 per cent about $50 million worth plus $117 million to remedy inequities in some categories The faculty application went in later and the Pay Board has not yet acted on it Some Voice Bitter Words At Nomination Camera Stays Chief referee Lothar Schmid of West Germany who makes the decisions on all contested points in connection with the match told Fischer during his walkout there was nothing he could do about the camera Film have been sold to an American pro-and television rights for the match moter and Fischer and Spassky are to get a share of the proceeds estimated at a minimum of $27500 each Schmid said he was prepared to invoke two rules of the match against Fischer Rule 17 prohibits in the name of "the highest principles of sportsmanship" that either player "distract or annoy his opponent" Rule 21 allows the taking of pictures during the match by official photographers as long as the cameras are "neither visible nor audible' Fischer lost the first game of his championship chess match with Spas-sky In a hopeless position at the 56th move he stood up and offered his hand Spassky took it The game was a play-off of Tuesday's adjourned position Fischer had given up a bishop for two pawns At the time it was not known whether he had blundered on his 29th move or whether he had a continuation so deep that nobody could see it A night of analysis convinced the experts that Fisher's move was indeed one of the strangest lapses in grandmaster history "A beginner's blunder cost him the game" a Fischer admirer sorrowfully said Theories Several theories are being advanced about Fischees blunder One taken seriously by chess experts involves the temperament of the two players Fischer so goes the thinking was so anxious to win the first game that Spassky purposely played a dull line trading off pieces and waiting until the bored and irritated Amen-can would do something rash In other words Fischer was suckered out of a drawn position into a loss This may sound far-fetched but it has been known to happen Such impulsiveness is not normally in Fischer's cool precise style but this first game was something special and Fischer gambled and lost Another theory holds that Fischer has been so preoccupied with the business and controversial aspects of tiu match that he has not prepred himself as thoroughly as he might have And still another is not really a theory It is simply that the great Bobby Fischer made a mistake 1 I ir 1 I il :40:: i4411 i 0 4:: :2:: "70 '4'h tr4 1:::: f0 A701 'i :::::4:: A ks '''''i 441: 4'1' -1 1 7 4 A '1: V4 f' 144 -4G i' i 1

we had to have the election with the usual percentage of the population we'd lose but the new voters will give us the chance to win" Foresees Change Madeleine Russell of San Francisco national committee woman of California believes those Democrats who supported other candidates will be more favorably impressed with McGovern as they have greater chance to observe him "He's most effective with people" Mrs Russell said "When people see him they feel the strength of his integrity" Sen Birch Bayh of Indiana was cautious "I'm not optimistic about our chances in November and I'm not pessimistic" he said McGovern is an unknown quanity to many voters and that could be an advantage" Right now there are a lot of anti-McGovern delegates who disagree with even Bayh's cautious nonoptimism They think disaster awaits the ticket and they are mighty unhappy This thinking was expressed by a singer in one of the strip hotels who dedicated the next song to "George McGovern's chances in November" and then sang "It's Impossible" This got a lot of laughs but November is a long way from July and it should be remembered a lot of smart politicians and newspaper writers were

sawed off shotgun and a box they said contained a bomb Adams dove out of the cockpit two hours after he landed saying the plane was out of gas and he would not subject the passengers to a crash Adams was picked up off the runway by police and taken to a hospital Sage Glenn a deputy marshal at the airport said "Taffa" had tried to buy a ticket on a Delta Airlines plane but ran when asked for
