The South Dakota senator reiterated that his tax plan is based on the principle that "money made by money should be taxed at the same rate as money made by men." The point, he said, is that earnings and investment should be taxed as heavily as wages and salaries. On the speakers' stand with the Democratic presidential nominee was Leonard Woodcock, international president of the United Auto Workers. He said he was there "to show by my presence that the UAW is solidly behind McGovern."

A S.C. (AP) A handful of Dixie governors began consideration Monday of a change in the rules of the Southern Governors Conference that would allow Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace to become vice chairman next yciir. Wallace, looking pale and haggard after his recent hospital slay, arrived in mid'aft- ernoon aboard a helicopter that landed on the 18th green of one of the island's many plush country club golf courses.

Wallace dressed in a light smt and bright blue shirt, was carried from the helicopter by aides, placed in a wheel chair, and moved forward where he greeted a crowd of about 200 persons. The governor said jokingly, "Do you reckon ought to shake hands with thLs crowd?" He was referring to the attempted assassination at a Maryland shopping center, he was shot while shak- mg nanas a crowd. Wallace said he was glad to be in South Carolina and planned to attend the sessions remaining during the next two days. He scheduled a news conference for Tuesday morning and said he would answer all questions at that time. As he was wheeled to a waiting car, several persons leaned forward over a line of law enforcement officers to touch him.

He was greeted officially by Mrs. John West, wife of the South Carolina governor. Under existing rules of (he conference aimed at a bipartj- san approach, a Republican would be named to the vice chairman post. Carter, South Carolina Gov. John West and several others want to eliminate this restriction and make it possible fo Wallace, a Democrat, to be nominated.

The proposal gained the support of Democratic Gov. Marvin Mandel of Maryland, who said he would back the move to give Wallace the vice chairmanship. But, Mandel said, ho would prefer that the rules change be a temporary one. Mandel, during a news conference, said Southern governors appeared to be warming toward Democratic presidential nominee Sen. George McGovern.

He said North Carolina Gov. Robert Scott's endorsement and pledge to chair McGovern's Tar Heel campaign was "a dramatic break-through." He noted 111 at after McGovern met for more than two hours Sunday evening with the governors, South Carolina Gov. West also endorsed the South Dakotan and promised to vote for him. "The fact is that you have a number of governors here now moving to support the ticket," Mandel said.

Scott also said he would encourage McGovern to campaign in North Carolina. As Scott met with Ihe press, presidential adviser Harry Dent told other governors that President Nixon would carry every Southern slate and suggested that "rigor mortis has set in on McGovern's image. He's a loser and a radical." Earlier, West told newsmen he would vote for MeGovern and when asked if that was an outright endorsement of the Democratic nominee, answered, "I am certainly not going to vote for someone that I don't endorse, and I think voting for a man is about the best endorsement any individual can give him." West agreed with several other governors that McGovern was now far behind in the Deep South and border states. "If the election were today, McGovern would be beaten right soundly in South Carolina," he said. Mandel agreed that McGovern was in trouble in Dixie, "but a lot of things can happen between now and the election in November."
