The Michigan Daily Vol. LXXXVI, No. 45-S Ann Arbor, Michigan-Wednesday, July 14, 1976 Ten Cents Twelve Pages Carter platform OK'd Dems call for government reform, guaranteed income NEW YORK 0P) - At the big- gest show off Broadway, Demo- crats approved Jimmy Carter's campaign platform early today and denounced Republicans as veto-happy modern Tories, while the nominee-in-waiting consider- ed a vice presidential choice to complete his cast. The platform was approved by voice vote, just as the Demo- cratic National Convention script said it would be. It was pre- sented in a succession of speech- es that assumed filibuster pro- portions, to delegates and re- porters who milled about the ยข r floor, crowded the aisles and kept talking among themselves. .d gBY MIDNIGHT, many of the delegates had drifted away, leaving rows of empty seats on A f{ ,.:" . the floor of Madison Square Garden. With the platform, the Demo- crats vowed a drive against un- employment, a start on federal programs of health insurance and guaranteed minimum in- }< i come, and an effort to reform and streamline the government. They also said they would try to save money and would cut defense spending by $5 billion x to $7 billion. Before the platform was adopted, Gov.

UDALL RELEASES DELEGATES 'Mo' keeps smiling A DEMOCRATIC congres- sional leader reported, and a Carter spokesman denied, that the former Georgia governor had decided that either Sen. Edmund Muskie of Maine or Sen. Walter Mondale of Minne- sota would be his running mate. Carter's press secretary, Jody Powell, said the list of vice presidential prospects is still six senators long. That stirred skep- ticism, but Powell insisted it was so. He said the field will not be narrowed until late to- day, that Carter will then speak to all six prospects, and that the decision will be announced tomorrow morning. N i n e Democratic governors arranged to see Carter today to discuss the vice presidency. Gov. Reubin Askew of Florida said the governors want to aid the candidate "to whatever ex- tent we can be helpful to him."

One would have thought he was the delegate's presidential nomination choice. "I WANT to thank Bob Strauss (Democratic Party Chair- man), that scheduling genius, for letting me take on Pete Rose and the rest of the All Stars," Humphrey said, referring to the fact that his convention address coincided with the airing of the baseball all star game. "Only an optimistic Democrat would take on the All Stars and the Republicans at the same time, and I'm the man," he said, punctuating his claim by waving his hands in the air. Humphrey's hearty reception made the preceeding welcome for Senator George McGovern - the ghost of convention past- See HUMPHREY, Page 2 By ANN MARIE LIPINSKI special To The Daily NEW YORK-There are those in this Democratic convention city who have dubbed the four day affair the "Jimmy Carter Coronation." But not Mo Udall. Wearing a smile to rival the former Georgia governor's best, Rep. Morris Udall of Arizona yesterday told a rau- cous contingent of reporters and his delegates that his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination has not yet seen its final days. "ONE OF THE hallmarks of this con- vention is that we have no suspenses, we have no surprises," said Udall. "I just want to remove one of the few doubts left. "I think I'm going to honor (some per- sonal considerations) by having my name put in nomination Wednesday night," he said. The standing ovation which followed Udall's announcement showed that that's what his delegates were there to hear, "MO! MO! MO! Mol Mo!" his re- maining disciples chanted. "He's still my man," an Arizona delegate yelled above the applause. Udall's drive for the presidential nom- ination-like all other Democratic can- didate's drives -has been sufficiently snuffed by the successful Carter ma- chine during the waning months of this election year. But Udall, still displaying the same vigor he brought to his cam- paign at the start, isn't surrendering to Carter yet. "I am well aware that governor Jim- my Carter will win a first ballot nom- ination on Wednesday night, and my decision to have my name placed in nomination is not based on any last ditch opposition to the majority will of the convention," said the Congressman. "RATHER, IT is based on the fact that large numbers of Udall delegates have asked and urged that it be made possible for them to cast a symbolic vote for the things our campaign stood for," he continued.

Yesterday, the man Sansezero supports announced that he was freeing all his delegates to "vote their conscience."
