Tuesday, June 24, 1972 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven Tuesday,111 1June111120,II1972II 1THE11MICHIGANIIIIIDAILYIIIIPage $.eIvenMI McGovern expects big N.Y. win (Continued from Page') Democratic Committee in Washington. While he strongly condemns the action, McGovern charged that it was "the legacy of years of wiretapping and snooping and violation of pri- vation of privacy in which the government itself was too deep- ly involved." He added that the situation was moving toward "a quasi-fascism in which nothing is sacred." At the press conference, Mc- Govern charged the present ad- ministration with manipulating foreign affairs to aid the Nixon campaign for re-election. "It's not just a coincidence that all the dramatic break- throughs have come in 1972 ... International affairs are being manipulated for their own do- mestic purposes," he said. Overall, yesterday was the most leisurely McGovern has spent in the past 2 weeks. After the press conference, The South Dakotan visited his headquar- ters to personally thank a few of the 30,000 volunteers who have worked throughout the state. The young staffers beam- ed as he went from floor to floor greeting them individually and autographing campaign lit-, erature, T-shirts, and even a, report card. Many of the workers are still in junior high school. Walking a short distance to a luncheon with top New York staffers, McGovern was sur- rounded by an enthusiastic lunch-hour crowd on Fifth Ave. Yesterday evening was high- lighted by a reception for more than 100 influential New York labor leaders. Interrupted by enthusiastic cries of "Hallelujah" and "You- 'll win" McGovern offered to be "labor's friend in the White House, and assured them that he was not "a far-out radical who would take the Democrats down to defeat in November," as another presidential candidate, Senator Hubert Humphrey (D- S.D.) had charged. "For many years in South Dakota, one of the charges that I had to contend with was that I was so close to Hubert Hum- phrey that his extreme liberal- ism might contaminate me. Now, he seems to think that's true . . . We don't elect very many far-out radicals in South Dakota to the U.S. 'Senate." During the week-end, Mc- Govern concentrated his atten- tion on the various etlinic com- munities around the city. He made a special effort to reas- sure the Jewish community of his support for Israel. In a Saturday night address at a Manhattan Synagogue, Mc- Govern said, "when the present administration took office, the President called the Middle the most critical foreign policy problem after Vietnam" yet the Middle East is no closer to peace today than it was then, and the danger to Israel, in many re- spects, has increased." The Senator said that he in- tended to celebra the 25th anniversary of Israeli independ- ence by being "the first Ameri- can president ever to visit Is- rael while in office." McGovern also conferred with orthodox rabbis at two Hasidic congregations in Brooklyn. Al- though Israel was the primary topic of concern, it, was kept in the background as the rabbis informed the Senator of the need for financial aid for their schools. He was not as well received at Dave's Fruit Market several blocks away. About 50 demon- strators from the Jewish De- fenseLeague greeted his arriv- al with pushing, shoving and cries of "Nixon, Nixon" and a few scattered shouts of "hit him!" "S m i 1 i n g benignly throughout, McGovern s a m- pled some melons and shook hands with a few supporters. Secret Service men had to force his way through the hostile crowd and back to the motor- cade. McGovern also visited the Black and Puerto Rican com- munities. Speaking briefly at a Puerto Rican rally in Harlem on Saturday, the Senator said, "what I want more than any- thing is to build a country where people care about each other." Sunday morning, the ex- Methodist minister spoke at a Harlem church, emphasizing his tax-reform proposal. "Why is it so disturbing to do something to help people in the $5,000 to $15,000 income bracket," Mc- Govern asked, "if it's all right to help a big corporation?'" MMI petitions legal The Michigan Marijuana. Initiative (MMI), was verbally notified yesterday that the revised petition form is approved as to form by the State Board of Canvassers. The Secretary of State's Election Division informed MMI attorney Perry Bullard of the decision which was made last Friday. The revised petition has been circulating since May 15. It con- tains the same text of the proposed amendment as the original petition, but also has the added line "a proposal to add Article 1, Section 24 as follows:" which explicitely identifies the intended location of the proposal in the Michigan Constitution.- Four to five thousand signatures were collected in the one week that the earlier petition form was circulating. Bullard contends that, "These signatures on the earlier petition form are valid and if necessary the Michigan Marijuana Initiative drive will go to court to establish their validity." He explains that "the statute regulating constitutional amendment petitions requires only that the petition include the full text of the amendment. The Michigan Marijuana Initiative contends that the Article and Section number are not a part of the full text, but merely a notification to the compilers of where to put the amendment." Bullard continues, "We really didn't care where they put it in the constitution as long as it passes and becomes a part of the constitution." Bullard points to the parochiaid and the 18-year-old constitutional amendments as they appeared on the ballot in 1970. Neither included the article or section number to be amended or added. "T h e voters on election day never see the exact article and section number of proposed amendments when they vote because the one hundred word description written for the ballot by the State Elections Director does not include the article and section number," Bullard explains. Local candidates file With the filing deadline for the August 8 primary set for today, there was a flurry of electoral activity in the city yesterday as late-comer rushed to announce their can- didacies. One of the best known of yesterday's filers was U. S. Rep. Marvin Esch (R-Ann Arbor) who is seeking re-elec- tion. Esch will be upopposed in the Republican primary. University accountant Bill Brown also announced his candidacy yesterday, seeking 'the Democratic nomination to face Esch in November. Also contesting the Democratic nomination for the congressional seat are State Rep. Marvin Stempien (D-Livonia), Walter Shapiro, Billy Turner and Fred Schwall.
