WrWxWtWrXvXrXvlvXvXvXvXvXrW-X-x-XvXvXW v No welfare check in November, 1 Wallace yells at hecklers

by SHAUN HIGGINS Banner Staff Reporter INDIANAPOLIS -- A group of over 100 hecklers brought police into the crowd three times during George Wallace’s speach in Indianapolis Thursday afternoon. The group, carrying signs saying “HHH not KKK” and “Elect Wallace - Put a Match to America’’, were involved in several minor skirmishes with Wallace supporters. About 10,000 persons were on hand at Monument Circle to greet Wallace and his vice-presidential running mate retired, Air Force General Curtis LeMay. The duo arrived an hour and 15 minutes late to the Circle City, forcing spectators to stand in sub-normal temperature. Many members of the gathering were forced to leave to go back to work before the candidate arrived.

Wallace delivered his more or less standard speech announcing that on Nov. 5 “the anarchists are through in this country,” that “there will be no more bussing of school children, and our allies will bear a greater share of the cost of defense against Communism or lose foreign aid grants.” One of the crowd disturbances occurred prior to Wallace’s arrival, when a loyal Wallaceite attacked a sign-bearer in the dissenter’s group. Police immediately rushed to the scene to prevent anyone from getting injured. However tension continued to build as protestors cried “Wallace is a fascist pig” while Wallace supporters told the dissidents “Take a bath”, “Get a flea collar” and “ No welfare check for you in November.”

While waiting for Wallace to arrive his campaign managers wasted little time in getting shortskirted “Wallace girls” into the crowd to collect money for their candidate. A band played patriotic or country-western music and Dick Smith, an Alabama newspaper publisher, warmed the Wallace people with verbal attacks at protestors. In the early part of the speech, 12 policemen swung into the crowd to break up the major altercation between the opposing groups. The attack began when a Wallace supporter started a scrap with a group of whites and Negroes around a sign which said, “George is Rosemary’s baby.” The ^sign’s message was drawn from the title of a recent book

George Wallace and motion picture. It can be interpreted to read “George is the Son of Satan.”

The candidate fielded heckling and replied with comments such as “Make room down there for the cameras, boys. Well, you’re

on television now so you can go home.” At one point he asked a heckler to c o m e to the speaker’s stand. “You got something to say come on up here,” Wallace yelled. “But let me tell you that we’ve got a special crewof barbers we keep ready for your kind.” Several groups from all over Indiana were present at the rally including groups from Muncie, Terre Haute, Batesville and Greenfield. Several labor union locals were represented in the crowd. Approximately 400 policemen and secret service were on hand at the rally and scanners were located on the roofs and top stories of all buildings in the circle. The scanners carried binoculars and some had rifles. Wallace spoke for about 40 minutes. He emphasized that he would turn the domestic institutions of America back to people such as those in the audience. He said he was “tired of all the bureaucrats looking down their nose at us.” Continued on page 3

Nixon says he’ll use efforts to end

Vietnam war

Interpretive report: WHAT Nixon will do as president By LOUIS CASSELS UPI Senior Editor WITH NIXON CAMPAIGN (UPI)—When he is elected president—in his mind there is no longer any “if” about it— Richard M. Nixon says he will devote all of his formidable energy to ending the war in Vietnam. He believes it can be done in less than a year, perhaps in five or six months. But he will make no campaign promises to that effect because he knows that if the new president is publicly committed to stopping the war by a certain date the enemy can exact concessions in the peace negotiations merely by stalling for time. Nixon’s off-the-platform views about Vietnam, the current election campaign and several other topics were communicated to this reporter during a long and relaxed conversation aboard his campaign plane, the Tricia, as he made a jet-age barnstorming tour of the Deep South. Notes Changing Situation The Republican presidential candidate has no magic for mula, no secret plan, for bringing the war to an honorable end. He

intends to employ whatever diplomatic strategy seems most likely to yield results in the circumstances prevailing at the time. His reluctance to talk now about such specific measures as a bombing halt, while doubtless prompted in part by political prudence, also reflects his conviction that circumstances may change so greatly before the new administration takes over next January, that it is foolish to make a strategy committment now. Nixon will give top priority to ending the war because he is satisfied that there can be no real progress toward solution of this country’s urgent domestic and international problems until its costly, divisive involvement in Vietnam is honorable liquidated. But in private conversation, as in public speeches, he bears down hard on the word - “honorably.” We cannot simply pull out of Vietnam, he says, however tempting that easy out may appear. He is determined to hold out for a viable peace settlement that can avert the need of a new American intervention with a few years. Relaxed, Rested Campaigner Nixon was relaxed and Continued on Page 3

By Mark Steele Are the St. Louis Cardinals in trouble? Will the Tigers see Busch Stadium again? Well I’d say yes, but the Tiger’s eight-run, 13-hit attack, including three home runs off Cardinal starter Nelson Briles, put Detroit in the driver’s seat as the series moves to the motor city. The Tigers’ chances for a World Series victory increased yesterday. Starting tomorrow the underdog American League representative will have its smaller Tiger Stadium with an over anxious home crowd that hasn’t seen a World Series in 23 years. Just as yesterday’s two pitchers met unknowingly, again tomorrow St. Louis* Ray Washburn (14-8) and Detroit’s Earl Wilson (13-12) will meet. Sunday Tiger manager Mayo Smith has elected to go with 31-game winner Dennis McLain against Bob Gibson. This time the pressure will be on Gibson, pitching in strange surroundings with a wall much closer to his back than in St. Louis. »

The Cards, for the first time, felt the awesome power that the Detroit bats can produce. Briles had been tagged for only 18 home runs in the regular season play, before Willie Horton, pitcher Mickey Lolich and Norm Cash sent round trippers 400 feet into the Cardinal stands. Detroit carries a line-up that boosts’ eight batters capable of hitting the long ball. Tomorrow’s starting pitcher Earl Wilson, is one of the best hitting pitchers in the majors. The Cardinals can count on at least one homer from catcher Bill Freehan and veteran A1 Kaline while at Detroit. On the other hand, the experts have predicted that Orlando Cepeda and Tim McCarver of St. Louis would have their best hitting of the series in Detroit. McLain is known for throwing the home run pitch and the Cardinal’s Briles, due to pitch again at Detroit, has already given that indication. I wonder how the base paths are? H >
