Humphrey's nomination esident by the Democrats ago, he and his supporters een operating without any rong statement from t h e nt. Johnson in his telegram to - which he said he was as "an absentee member Texas Democratic party" full of praise for Hum- aid he was sure that Hum- and his vice presidential g mate, Sen. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine, "can count on you." He' described Humphrey as "a fighter and a patriot." "I have watched him give his courage, common sense and com- passion to the cause of America," the President declared. A Democratic victory this No- vember, Johnson said, "will mean the difference between a united and divided America." He declared it "can also mean the difference between world or- der and world chaos. "Unless we Democrats unite to heal and lead America," Johnson said, "America will never have the vision to heal and. lead the world." Johnson recalled that eight years ago when he ran for vice president with John F. Kennedy, he asked his fellow Texans to give undivided support to the Demo- cratic ticket. He said that what he called the magnificent response he received spelled -the difference between vic- tory and defeat then. This year, he added, "In ano- ther crucial election, I again ask you to close ranks behind our candidates." Newsmen later asked George Christian, the White House press secretary, whether Johnson's tele- gram to the Texas convention was the kickoff for more open presi- dential participation in the cam- paign on behalf of Humphrey. He said the telegram spoke for itself and he wouldn't interpret it in any way. But, Christian add- ed, "I'm sure there will be oc- casions when the President will make' appeals for the Democratic party in the fall." He said he saw no conflict be- tween that and the .President's March 31 statement that he would not engage in any personal parti- san politics. He did not indicate in what way Johnson might make any fu- ture appeals for the party, but said that the President has made it clear he will make such state- ments on these matters as he sees fit. 1. Meanwhile the new head of Texas' established Democrats told his party's state convention to tune in to young Texans rebelling against "the establishment." The keynote address by Lt. Gov. Preston Smith, nominee for gov- ernor, did not mention his party's national nominees, Vice President Hubert Humphrey and Sen. Ed-. mund Muskie. Asked about this by reporters, I he said: "This is a state conven-, tion. They are not involved." Directing his fellow Democrats' attention to those he called "the young rebels," Smith said "it is understandable that youth has al- ways questioned the motives of 'the establishment.' They always will, and I think they should. Sometimes they are right." Smith, 56, said he is "not con- cerned with those with th'e weird beards, the stringy hair and un- tuned guitars. I am concerned with bright, honorable young peo- ple in the grip of powerful re- action against things as they are.", Yesterday's convention was pre- ' f * .q* k ~ . #r ' ..Li A q """ ""-""" .

Humphrey, in a speech yester- day to a Democratic luncheon in Buffalo, attacked Nixon's stand on the nuclear nonproliferation treaty now awaiting approval by the Senate. MISSED OPPORTUNTY If the United States -misses the, opportunity to ratify the treaty, Humphrey declared, it may have "missed the opportunity to save the world from nuclear confronta- tion." Although Nixon has endorsed the treaty he has recommendtd that the Senate withhold approv- al due to the Soviet Invasion f Czechoslovakia. In a statement prepared for: campaign stop in Rochester, of- fered some proposals for dealing with the urban crisis. "Our circumstances demand . a far greater measure of state and local initiative, responsibility and cooperation, together with 1 e s s direct federal control than exists today," the vice president said. 'STRONG PRESIDENT' However, Humphrey said, "Our circumstances require a strong and active president - strong enough to shake up the federal bureaucracy." ~ Earlier, Humphrey told students and hecklers that as president h. would do everything necessary to end the Vietnam war, but he re- minded them that it is Lyndon Johnson - not himself - who is controlling events. "You have one president at. . time," Humphrey said. "That's all you need." But Humphrey aknowledged that a major controversy of his young campaign was due to his failure to read the minority plank on Vietnam offered by doves at the Democratic National Con- vention in Chicago. Humphrey's running mate, Sen. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine, cam- paigned at the other engi of the state, in New York -City, de- manding that Nixon speak out on issues, especially Vietnam. Muskie said Nixon was hiding his vies. Nixonfears Wallancenm thred t ANAHEIM, Calif.

CHOICE TO HOUSE As Nixon described it, the at- tempt would be to deny him. a maJority vote in the electorial col- lege, and thus send the W h fit e- House choice to the House of Representatives. The Republican nominee called, upon his Democratic rival, Vice- President Hubert H. Humphrey, - to repudiate any such move by southern Democrats. Nixon already has shunned any , direct campaign confrontation with Wallace, the third party con- tender. Nixon flatly ruled out a televised campaign debate with Humphrey if it also would include Wallace. Nixon said tihat would not be -in the public nterest because it would build up the third party candidate by giving him equal time with those of the two major parties. Ellsworth has suggested that the Democrats would like to -do ,' just that, so that the House would wind up with the presidential choice. If none of the candidates gQt-a- 270-vote majority in the electorial college, the house would make the presidential selection with each state delegation casting one vote. NEW CONGRESS The choice would be made by the Congress elected Nov. 5. In the current Congress, Demo- crats are in control of 29 dele- gations, Republicans have ma- jorities in 18 states, and --three. are evenly divided: Nixon said it is vitally impor- tant that the White House deci- sion be made in the electoral col-- lege, not the House. To that end, he said, "we're go ing to go all out in every one of the major states."- " a #-mi Wt.
