McGovern,
Muskie
plan
WASHINGTON U) - Two springs
before the 1972 presidential primary
season, Democratic Sens. Edmund S.
Muskie of Maine and George S. Mc-
Govern of South Dakota are taking
the first, important steps likely to lead
to races for the presidency.
In a sense, the two Democratic sen-
ators have been campaigning ever
since 1968, crisscrossing the country,
making speeches designed to keep
them in the public eye and helping
fellow Democrats in the manner used
by John Kennedy and Richard Nixon
to lay the base for their presidential
bids.
Now, they are beginning to take
more definite steps-though any deci-
sion is still at least 18 months away.
Muskie has set up a separate re-
campaign likely to result in a land-
slide victory this fall. He is beginning
to gather tapes and films of his activi-
ties, and has started to break in "ad-
vance men" for his out-of-town ap-
pearances.
McGovern, like Muskie a frequent
speaker for his two dozen colleagues
seeking re-election this fall, has raised
$300,000 for their campaigns. He is
realigning his staff and plans to hire
key political and media operatives.
And he is laying the first, tentative
outlines of a national political organi-
zation for his presidential bid.
Muskie, the 1968 vice presidential
nominee, is widely regarded by politi-
cians as the early front-runner despite
recent attacks \ by Ralph Nader on
search office, ostensibly for his Senate
Muskie's anti-pollution stand. As for
McGovern, who made a brief unsuc-
cessful presidential bid in 1968 follow-
ing Robert F. Kennedy's assassination,
even some of his own backers have
doubts about how far he can go.
Muskie and McGovern, while the
furthest advanced towards a presi-
dential race, are not alone as Demo-
cratic hopefuls. Former Vice President
Hubert H. Humphrey, the 1968 nomi-
nee, is expected to try again if he is
successful in regaining a Minnesota
Senate seat this November.
Other hopefuls in the Senate include
Sen. Birch E. Bayh of Indiana, who
has stepped up his national speaking
activities after leading the successful
fights against President 'Nixon's two
Supreme Court nominees; Sen. Fred
aheadJ
R. Harris of Oklahoma, who resigned
as the party's national chairman to
speak out more on national issues;
and Sen. Harold E. Hughes of Iowa,
mentioned as a dark horse possibility.
Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy of Minne-
sota, who is retiring from the Senate
this year, has dropped hints in recent
months he may undertake a second
try for the presidency in 1972.
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massa-
chusetts insists he will serve out the
six-year Senate term to which he
seeks election this fall, although Na-
tional Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien
says he must be considered among
potential 1972 nominees.
Neither Muskie, 56, nor McGovern,
47, denies he is considering a 1972
race.
"It's the kind of challenge that ob-
For
1972
viously I'm thinking about," Muskie
said in a recent interview. "The im-
pulses that took me into public life
in the first place are moving me in the
direction of making that challenge,
given the proper circumstances."
"My own view," McGovern said in
a separate interview, "remains that
my role can best be served by address-
ing myself bluntly to the issues." Ask-
ed recently in Salt Lake City about
1972, he replied "I'm interested in
national politics and have been for
years. But I'm going to reserve any
judgment about a candidacy for 1972."
Neither senator puts much stock in
public opinion polls which currently
show that Humphrey, Muskie and
Kennedy each command about 25 per
cent with McCarthy, McGovern and
the others far behind.

A CALIFORNIA JURY has ruled that the death of Kevin
Moran resulting from a gunshot wound in the April 18 demon-
stration at Isla Vista was accidental.
The jury issued the ruling after hearing police officer David
Gosselin testify that his gun fired unintentionally and after testimony
from a state ballistics expert that the safety on Gosselin's gun was
defective.
Polics Chief Alfred Trembly, who suspended Gosselin several days
after the shooting, said the officer was being reinstated.
THE VIETNAM PEACE TALKS began their year yesterday
with an exchange of threats.
As has become customary, the only thing the delegates could
agree on was a meeting next Thursday.
The North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong warned that further
U.S .air raids on the North would provoke more walkouts. Such raids
early this month brought cancellation of last week's session.
Philip C. Habit, the U.S. envoy told the 66th plenary session that
President Nixon "will be patient in working peace. We will be con-
ciliatory at the conference table," he added.
SOME 100 WELFARE ACTIVISTS staged a second day of
demonstrations yesterday at the Department of Health, Education
and Welfare.
The National Welfare Rights Organization convened what it
termed a hearing on the Southeast Asia war and welfare inequities
in the HEW auditorium.
On Wednesday 21 welfare rights demonstrators were arrested after
an eight-hour sit-in the office of HEW secretary Robert H. Finch.
APPROXIMATELY 1,000 SYRIAN troops yesterday crossed the
frontier into Lebanon and took up positions in the area from
which an Israeli raiding force withdrew Wednesday.
Lebanese border officials said the force from Syria was armed
with mortars, anti-aircraft guns and other equipment.
After crossing the border, the troops were reported to have pushed
on to the Arkoub area on the western slopes of Mt. Hermon.
The Syrians gave Lebanese authorities no advance notification
of the move, highly placed sources said.

INDIAN AUTHORITIES stepped up their efforts yesterday
to prevent widespread rioting in Maharastra State between Hindus
and Moslems from spreading to the teeming city of Bombay.
The week-old violence has already claimed 126 lives, according
to police. Hundreds of persons have been injured and thousands
arrested.
Yesterday, Bombay police took in custody 650 possible trouble-
makers. They also posted armed guards at all suburban railway
stations in the Greater Bombay area
The latest deaths occurred Wednesday night when police opened
fire on a mob at a village near Thana, north of Bombay, killing two.
The mob was reported about to attack a minority community in an-
other village.

There were no immediate reports of contact with the

The attack came a day after Secretary of State William
Rodgers reiterated the Nixon Administration's assurances
that U.S. military forces will not become involved in Cam-

WASHINGTON WP)-Three ad-
ministration leaders yesterday re-
portedly told Republican senators
that moves to restrict President
Nixon's troop-committing powers
must be overcome if a crisis of
confidence in the presidency is to
be avoided.
But senators reporting on the
private session were divided as to
whether the tone was one of ac-
commodation or a hint the White
House is ready to face a historic
and divisive constitutional show-
down with the Senate.
The meeting came as the Senate
opened debate on the Church-
Cooper amendment which would
bar the spending of federal funds
to maintain U.S. troops in Cam-
bodia past the June 30 deadline
set by Nixon. The measure is
named for its chief cosponsors,
Sess. John Sherman Cooper (R-
Ky), and Frank Church (D-
Idaho).
In another secret meeting, Ells-
worth Bunker, ambassador to
Vietnam, reported the United
States is sending U.S. rifles to
Cambodia and stoutly defended
the course of the war and the con-
duct of the Saigon regime.
The Republican caucus was ad-
dressed by Secretary of Defense
Melvin R. Laird; Henry A. Kis-
singer, Nixon's chief foreign policy
adviser; and Elliott L. Richardson,
undersecretary of state. All refused
to comment to newsmen.

War Amendment" which would

war power.
