I if fimrv Dakota senator that it might be inflammatory NEVERTHELESS the sentence was included in a second copy of the speech prepared but not delivered for appearance before the South Carolina Legislature two days later And when asked about it McGovern said that he would stand by his view that the Vietnam war should not be won is an immoral illegal and unjust war which we should never have gotten McGovern explained the only way we could win it would be to destroy the Vietnamese people That would be worse than not winning it and getting Most doves have not gone so far as to take the view that the war was a mistake has been too costly and cannot be won Only the most militant anti-war advocates have suggested that the United States should not win the war Sen William Fulbright (D Ark) a long-time leader of Senate doves has voiced the philosophical view in academic seminars and in his book Arrogance of that' the United States would be tempted to intervene elsewhere if it should win in Vietnam BUT UNLIKE McGovern Fulbright is not a presidential candidate who is vulnerable to sharp campaign attacks On one other occasion during his southern trip McGovern displayed his deepening abhorrence of the war And again he courted trouble During a meeting with South Carolina delegates McGovern was under cross-examination by a conservative hawk Bill Jones of Greenwood a country prosecutor Their exchange was getting sharper when McGovern was asked if he favored giving the North Vietnamese what they wanted and begging for the return of American prisoners McGOVERN fired back: is better than And a few minutes later he added: boys are dying in those cells beg go to Hanoi and beg if I thought that would release them one day Unlike other doves who when in conservative territory have based their opposition to the war on the losses of "American and the money it has cost McGovern has also pleaded for the saving of Asian lives SIMILA India (UPI) Apparently serious differences prevented a formal meeting Thursday between Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and Pakistani President Zul-fikar Ali Bhutto in their summit conference heTe A Pakl- -stan spokesman said the talks were a very critical The two leaders however saw each other socially Thursday night at dinner and aides to Mrs Gandhi said it was hoped that the talks which began Wednesday could resume at the summit level today The hitch developed as the official delegations met Thursday morning to arrange the second face-to-face meeting of the two heads of state The delegations met again in the afternoon but were unable to agree It appeared Thursday night the talks were in danger of seriously bogging down over the same issues that have divided the countries almost from the time they both achieved independence from British rule in 1947 Indian officials however indicated privately Thursday night thejr stance was not rigid and said they were confident that Mrs Gandhi and Bhutto could meet again to discuss substantive issues The Indian side evidently was pressing for a no-war pledge from Bhutto but was believed willing to settle for his tacit agreement that present lines of demarcation would not be violated stance is not said an Indian official we want is for their side to demonstrate a change in their attitudes of the The morning meeting of the official delegation lasted Back But Still Missing WASHINGTON (UPI) John Mitchell was back in Washington Thursday but the whereabouts of his wife Martha were not known 1 The Mitchells left the Westchester Country Club

delegates The realigment was on grounds that the California winner-take-all primary disenfranchised the 55 per cent of the electorate that voted against McGovern The challengers contended the primary violated in spirit a prohibition by McGovern's Party Reform Commission against unit rule They said the delegates should have been awarded on a basis proportional to each share of the vote McGOVERN got 442 per cent of primary votes which would leave him with 120 of the delegates Under the ruling Humphrey who finished with 393 per cent of the California votes would get 106 delegates Other Democrats who would benefit by loss of 151 delegates include Muskie who would pick up 6 Wallace who would get 16 Chisholm 12 Los Angeles Mayor Sam Yorty 4 Eugene McCarthy 3 Jackson 2 and John Lindsay 2

committee split along candidate lines with the South going heavily against McGovern CALIFORNIA members of the committee refused to de- mand that they receive any vote on the question on grounds that four of their 10 members the proportion of the McGovern vote were not subject to the challenge Phillip Isenberg spokesman for the California group and a city councilman from Sacramento said in an interview that the California members did not act because it would have increased the acrimony already present in the proceedings Both sides claimed their chances would be better at the convention of upholding their postions although convention rules would appear to allow the 120 McGovern delegates to vote on the question This would appear to increase their chances of success Referring to his opponents with obvious scorn McGovern accused them of rigging the Credentials Committee to something in the committee room they win from the He said a shabby alliance of people acting from spite and
