ATLANTA (UPI) - George Wallace promised Sunday to name a vice-presidential runfting mate this week, then blasted federal intervention for what he termed the near destruction of the public

schools.

Meeting with Georgia’s Democratic Gov. Lester Maddox, who announced last week he would support the former Alabama governor’s bid for the presidency, Wallace would not say when or where he would announce his

running mate.

On the Lighter Side

By DICK WEST

WASHINGTON (UPI) — The disturbance that shook Chicago during the Democratic convention was by no means the most violent political upheaval in America this year. It was indeed, a rather pallid affair compared to what happened in Brownsville, Tex., on the evening of July 20. The Brownsville blowup, or blowout, was not widely reported at the time, mainly because the survivors were in no condition to talk. They were having their stomachs relined. Since then, however, scattered details have been drifting northward and it is now possible to piece together a fairly coherent picture of the horrifying event. Basically, it was a confrontation between supporters of Wick Fowler, the Chili party candidate for president, and a rebellious faction along the Texas-Mexican border. Heated Dispute At issue was the question of whether Fowler’s pepper policy made him a “hawk” or a “dove” when whipping up a pot

of chili.

The border gang, most of whose members are affiliated with the Wide-Awake Public Relations and Septic Tank Co., had accused Fowler, whose power base is the Chili Appreciation Society, of being

“soft on chili.”

One of the rebel ringleaders, Ward Colwell of the Brownsville Herald, charged that Fowler’s campaign promise of “twoalarm chili in every pot” was a snare and a delusion. He asserted that the chili Fowler was offering the nation was hardly more thermal than “warmed - over cream of

wheat.”

Stung by the charges, Fowler, who has campaign headquarters in Austin, grabbed his most incendiary recipe and headed south, bent on whipping the

insurgents into line.

Battle Line

Chili party loyalists were met in Brownsville by the dissident forces, who had their own chili pot bubbling and were addition, ally fortified with something called “border buttermilk.” The two sides faced each other eyeball-to-eyeball, both of which were red. Then came the brutal showdown as to which

WASHINGTON (UPI)Hubert H. Humphrey, who has the uncanny ability to smile while demons chew at his ankle, likes to compare his current underdog fight to that of Harry Truman in the 1948 election. In many ways, the situation is similar. The Democrats emerged battered and bruised that year from a convention scarred by a walkout of southern delegates behind the Dixiecrat banner of Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina. The solid South became unglued and gave its electoral votes to Thurmond but Truman, who started far behind in the polls and failed to improve by election day, upset Republican Thomas E. Dewey—and the Democratic party survived. Trumanesque Campaign Truman had Thurmond. Humphrey has George Wallace. And the 1948 analogy has motivated Humphrey to wage a Trumanesque campaign with all the accompanying handshaking, baby-kissing, hell-raising furor of a man who must catch up. Humphrey, unlike Truman, does not have the Republican, controlled 80th Congress to attack; the conflict between Congress and the White House during the past four years has been between members of Humphrey’s own party. Truman did not have to defend a controversial war in Southeast

And, notwithstanding the southern walkout, the Democratic party in 1948 was solidly united behind Truman north of Mason-Dixon line. One is tempted to say that the real lesson from the past for Humphrey may lie in Barry Goldwater's debacle of 1964. The Republican party was fractured by fratricidal strife between the Goldwater conservative wing and the liberals. Like Humphrey, Goldwater won the nomination without trouble. Same Agony Like Goldwater, Humphrey must endure the agony of making campaign appearances In states where local candidates either don’t want to appear with him or are afraid to do so because of their own constituencies. Like Goldwater, Humphrey has spent an inordinate amount of time in the early weeks of his campaign trying to explain his own statements. He must run all these gauntlets with an inadequate party treasury and with a proud fellow Democrat in the White House whom he can not afford to offend. Goldwater did not have to contend with either of those problems. But Humphrey is not Barry Goldwater and he is not Harry Truman. And perhaps his ability to keep smiling through the miseries of a divided party will outweigh the historical precedents against him.

had concocted the most throat, searing dish. For hours they dueled with ladles, each trying to incinerate the other. No body count was made, but each side held firm until the last man had fallen. It was the Alamo all over again. In the interests of party unity, Fowler has since made overtures of reconciliation, but Colwell has thus far refused to endorse him.

Impartial observers here now believe the chili party is hopelessly divided and that Nixon, Humphrey or Wallace will win the election.

---Buckley ust 22, a guard at one of the newer water treatment plants, built on 51 acres of filled-in lakefroat, surprised two boys and a girl, all three of them from the Chicago area and all of them in their early twenties, dumping a quart-sized glass jar of crystallized LSD into the plant’s final holding tank. Although the miscreants have since then been utterly uncommunicative, acting on the advice of their lawyer, they did admit, on being apprehended, that they had poured out the contents of a quart into the holding tank every single night for a week, and were baffled at their failure to turn on Chicago.

The police sent the empty jar to the laboratory to confirm that its contents were LSD. They then shut off the bank, tested the water, and found it pure. Indeed, they even found that the chlorine content was at the normal level ( one part per million parts of water). This was testimony to a smoothly functioning automatic chlorine regulator which pumped in more as existing chlorine was dissipated by the LSD. At the ratio of one/one-nillion, the holding tank could have absorbed twenty times as much LSD as had been tossed into it, raising the interesting question: what would happen if more than twenty times as much acid as was used in Chicago were poured into a reservoir which, unlike th6 super-modern installation in Chicago, doesn’t have the benefit of an automatic chlorinator? 4 And what if - the chemical engineer gave several examplesother drugs and most frighteningly poisons, of the variety thal are not neutralized by chlorine, were introduced into the watei systems? There are infinite variables in the situation. Opium, for instance, does not deliquesce at an even rate, like LSD: so than an attempt to turn on a city by opium could result in one individual’s drinking a perfectly harmless dose at one drinking fountain, while his neighbor, at an adjacent fountain, gulped down a lethal dose. The police in Chicago don't know what to do. There are plenty of laws knocking around. The flower children used. a ladder, scaled a barbed wire fence, had no difficulty in reaching over to the ground level tanks, which are covered only by open grill work. There is a temptation to drop the s prosecution in order to keep the story quiet. If on the other hand they did pf osecute, even Time and the New York Times would hear about it, and' the craze might spread. On the other hand, three contanMnators could be sent up for a good long time if you add together all the laws they violated, including, possibly, a federal national security statue. As always, a dilemma. Chicago has meanwhile instituted, following the episode of a fortnight ago, a 24-hour guard over its water reservoirs, and young chemists, who know the horrors that deranged laboratory % technicians are capable of, tremble at the thought of what could be.

Wallace met with supporters at an open house in the Georgia governor’s mansion where he was introduced by Maddox as

“President Wallace.”

When Wallace’s small blond daughter, Lee, who accompanied him to Atlanta, commented she would like to live in the new $2.5 million mansion, Maddox smilingly told her “wait’ll you

see the White House.”

Later, in a network television interview (CBS—Face the Nation) — Wallace said public schools in many of the large cities or our country have been almost destroyed by federal

guidelines.

“A number of schools were forced to close down the first day or so of school because of violence and riots—teachers injured, pupils injured and rioting at football games. Well now, this is not a good school system,” he said. Wallace said as president he would return control of the schools to local government, “within the law.” The dapper former Alabama governor said statements attributed to him during an informal chat with newsmen Friday night had been misinterpreted and he did not mean citizens would physically take over the schools. Instead, he said, he meant a “political revolution” in which people would vote for him because of his pledge to return control of their schools to the

populace.

“The people are real angry in this country aljout bussing pupils,” he said. “They are real concerned about the whole

public school system.

“The school systems have deteriorated into such a situation that it’s almost dangerous for a child to go to a public school in many places in our country, and when that develops as a result of court orders, court decisions and actions of HEW (Department of Health, Education and Welfare) in Washington, then people are,

going to rise up.

“They are going to rise up at the ballot t>ox. They are going to vote for me for president because I’m going to turn the schools back to the people of Los Angeles and Chicago and Cicero and Milwaukee and they’re not going to have to bus children across town if they

don’t want to.”

Wallace added he was not advocating segregation as such, but just saying that local citizens should decide for themselves on the question of

integration.

On the farm front

WASHINGTON (UPI)—About a million needy people may be added to the rolls of the government’s food stamp program by next June 30 under a compromise bill due for final votes in the House and Senate this week. The bill, approved by a Sen-ate-House conference committee late last week, falls short of the levels proposed by Johnson administration officials and congressional sponsors of expanded food aid to the needy. But government experts today estimated the $315 million authorized by the bill for food stamp spending in the 1908-69 fiscal year—$90 million more than the ceiling now in effect— would allow: — Expansion of the program from about 1,200 counties and

cities at present to roughly about 1,500 by the time the 19G8-G9 fiscal year ends next June 30. — Coverage of as many as 3.5 million people by next June 30 compared with the present total of about 2.5 million. -Some increase in the amount of aid given to at least some families participating in the program. The stamp program is designed to help needy families get closer to adequate diet levels by increasing their food buying power. Families qualified for the program are required to use cash they normally spend for food to purchase federal food stamps. Then, the participating families get additional allotments of free stamps.
