. has literally dominated the
news, dominated the political
dialogue of this country since
the convention," McGovern
said.
"I had hoped," he continued,
"this election could be decided
on the record of the Nixon ad-
ministration vs. the alternatives
I'll be offering in the months
ahead."
McGovern said he would try
to choose a new running mate
as quickly as possible but add-
ed he and his aides would be
"very cautious and very care-
ful" in checking the background
of the new choice.
That choice requires approv-
al of the party's national com-
mittee, which is expected to
follow his recommendation as
the national convention did in
picking Eagleton.
The most frequently men-
tioned names for possible suc-
cessors have b e e n former
tee Chairman Lawrence
O'Brien, Sens. Gaylord Nelson
of Wisconsin, Frank Church of
Idaho and Edmund Muskie of
Maine, and Mayor Kevin White
of Boston.
O'Brien, now national cam-
paign chairman for McGovern,
was notified of the Eagleton
step-down about an hour before
the news conference announce-
ment, but an aide said he was
not consulted.
Both McGovern and Eagle-
ton were interrupted frequent-
ly during their brief statements
by members of both men's
staffs and bystanders In the
Caucus Room in the Old Senate
Office Building where many
important announcements, in-
cluding presidential candida-
cies, have been made over the
years.
The conference between Mc-
Govern and Eagleton was the
first direct meeting of the two
since Eagleton's revelation of
his medical history.
The faces of Eagleton's senate
staff members telegraphed the
decision even, before it was an-
nounced. They stood grim and
unsmiling in the marble-walled
room where many other candi-
dates, John and Robert Ken-
nedy among them, had begun
presidential campaigns.
McGovern, tanned, wearing a
dark blue suit, smiled as he
strode into the room. IHagleton
tried to match the smile but
failed. His mouth was pinched,
his body tense.
Beads of perspiration appear-
ed on Eagleton's forehead as he
stood beside McGovern. By the
time the press conference had
ended under the hot television
lights, small rivulets of perspira-
tion were running down his
cheeks and neck.
Eagleton went into the session
saying he would give McGovern
statistics showing mail and tele-
Quaalude--Nobody really listens
(Continued from Page 3)
on Quaalude "difficult to get
hold of," and pointed out that
"drug companies aren't going
to do anything unless they're
made to do it."
In spite of the increasing evi-
dence of the addictive poten-
tial of Quaalude, the William H.
Rorer Co., which manufactures
Quaalude, has been slow to
send out any warnings on the
drug.
Pamphlets on Quaalude which
are distributed to doctois by
Rorer claim that "even after
wide use, physical dependence
has not been clearly demon-
strated."
Charles McCallister, executive
vice president of Rorer, still
claims that "this addiction
thing, as far as we're concern-
ed, has not been established."
He also claims that "scads of
research" was done before the
drug went on the market, and

cite a cutoff of funds as the
remedy to the Vietnam problem.
Shapiro not only is asking a
cut off of funds but is in favor
of anything that will end the
war. "I will do anything I car.
in Congress to end the Vietnam
War-including supporting the
impeachment of Richard Nixon."
Although the only feature of
abortion reform which is con-
nected with national politics is
national health insurance, all of
the candidates are asked to ex-
press their views on it at one
time or another.
Stempien has argued that
abortion should not be legal-
ized on the grounds that legis-
lators are required to protect the
rights of the unborn. He says,
"Our constitution does provide
legal constitutional rights for
unborn children. From the mo-
ment of conception it has a.
separate life of its own."
that "lots of work is stfll go-
ing on."
When asked -why Rorer's ex-
tensive research didn't reveal
the addictive potential of Qua-
alude, McCallister explained
"No responsible people would
take patients and put them on
10 to 15 tablets a day to test for
addiction."
Quaalude is currently consid-
ered a legal drug, since it is not
yet included in the Controlled
Substances Act.
A spokesperson for the Bu-
reau of Narcotics and Danger-
ous Drugs said that he felt it
was only a "matter of time" un-
til Quaalude was included in the
act.
He added that a survey is
currently being conducted in
major cities across the coun-
try to evaluate the dangers of
the drug. Based on the find-
ings of the survey, the Bureau
will determine which of the
le to face
vember,
Turner has stated that he
supports abortion "to a limited
degree." Turner says that if a
married woman is having an
abortion and is living with her
husband, then the husband
should have some part in the
decision.
Schwall, like Stempien, also
opposes abortion reform while
Shapiro is much in favor of
reform, calling for legalization
and coverage under national
health insurance.
Marijuana is the source of
numerous questions posed to the
candidates and the answers
cover all the possibilities.
Shapiro wants legalization of
marijuana and all drugs. Turner
does not want legalization of
marijuana, but rather, reduced
penalties for use. His reasoning
is that not enough is known
about the drug. He says, "I
think you should have enough
facts to make a good judgment."
five schedules of the act the
Quaalude will be included in. ,
Reclassification of Quaalude
as a controlled substance would
make it illegal without a pre-
scription, and would provide for
a penalty of from one to five
years in prison.
The new act would also re-
quire drug companies to keep
accurate records of the amount
manufactured and who it was
sold to, in order to cut down on
diversion of the drug into illegal
channels.
McCallister claims, however,
that his company already exer-
cises the precautions called for
by the act. When asked where
all the Quaalude on the streets
is coming from, McCallister
said forged prescriptions, illegal
sales by druggists or over-pre-
scribing by doctors may be the
source.
He says he has found no evi-
dence of leaks within the com-
pasny.

phone response running in his

"I feel very good," he said as
he strode into the meeting. "I
felt very good all day."
Eagleton said he felt the con-
troversy would have blown over
if given enough time. McGovern
apparently disagreed.
"It was my subjective political
judgement that in another two
or three weeks . . . that pretty
soon the issue would run out of
gas," Eagleton said.
After the announcement Eagle-
ton said he would continue in
public life despite the furor
which had dogged him for the
past week.
"My conscience is clear and
my spirits are high," Eagleton
said. "This is definitely not my
last press conference and Tom
Eagleton is going to be around
for a long, long time."
It was the first time in Ameri-
can history that a vice presi-
dential nominee has resigned dur-
ing the campaign. The only other
vacancy on a nationat ticket was

presidential n o m i n e e James
Schoolfield Sherman of New
York six days before election
in 1912.
"I have consistently support-
ed Sen. Eagleton," McGovern
said. "He is a tatented, able
United States senatordwhose
ability will make him a promi-
nent figure in American politics
for many years to come."
"I am for George McGovern
and I am going to continue work-
ing to see him elected president
of the United States," Eagleton
responded.
