But now, after losing his wife and running up $20,000 in debts, the 40-year-old toolmaker says he has abandoned his dream of becoming president. "I loved my wife very much and I guess I did mistreat her, doing what I did the way I did it without a financial backing," Hale said Wednesday. "It's something I'm going to have to live with all my life." Hale, who announced his plans to seek the presidency as an independent nearly a year ago, had hoped by this time to be stomping through Iowa instead of returning to his regular Friday night bowling league. LAST MARCH, HE rented the Dayton Convention Cen- ter's 4,000-seat 'hall for a series of "state of the nation" speeches. And although a total of less than 100 people showed up, he vowed to battle on. Hale, who said he believed people were "begging for an average American citizen to stand up," called in his platform for reinstating the draft, overhauling the U.S. legal system, improving agricultural and educational programs and com- batting crime and unemployment. Hale quit his job and remained unemployed during most of his campaign, relying mainly on income from his wife, who worked at a downtown restaurant. "A BUNCH OF people started whispering in her ear about me making her work while I was off on this wild goose chase," said Hale, who said his wife left him in June. The $2,000 he spent on his campaign plus other bills that piled up put him in the hole, he said, and that doesn't include the $23,000 he still owes on his home. Despite all the problems and difficulties, Hale, who has gone back to work, said if he could ever get proper financial backing, he'd do it all over again. And he insists he could win. "NOW, SOME PEOPLE said to me, 'You can't just walk in and be president. You have to be a commissioner, a mayor, a representative, a senator or a governor first,' " Hale said. "But I said that by the time you were done being all that stuff, you'd be so corrupt you wouldn't be any good as president. And that's the truth." Hale said he had a tough time getting attention from the media, and cited television coverage of his "state of the union" address. "It was supposed to have been on the 6:30 p.m. world news," he said, "but all I got was a big fat political gag. They put it on at 7:20 the following morning when everybody was at work." h sandwiches and pastries- CARRY-OUT q Mon-FRI 8:30 a.m.-9 p.m. SAT 11 a.m.-9 p.m. SUN 3 p.m-9 p.m. r i.>' ' Cf' 0 Y .a if . 7 "Two broiled Iambchops, one cup of asparagus, and a spinach salad ..."

White House sources said Thomas Gleason, president of the International Longshoremen's Association, did not promise Carter to end the boycott, but said he would reply promptly after con- sulting with his union. ONE ADMINISTRATION official said Carter, "speaking as president and commander-in-chief," said "that the abrupt stoppage of all grain shipments was contrary to our national interests, that it was clogging the pipeline, inter- fering with normal commerce and was unfair to the farmer." "He asked their cooperation in un- clogging the pipeline and Gleason said he would have to go back and talk to the membership," said the official, who asked not to be identified.

The Amnesty statement followed nine-day visit to Rhodesia by the organization's representatives. IN SALISBURY, Rhodesia, a spokesman for Soames said 81 prisoners were held on strictly political grounds when the governor arrived and all had been released - the last group of 21 on Wednesday. The spokesman said Soames regar- ded the human rights organization as a very respectable group, but the gover- nor "was not acting in a vacuum." The# implication was that as long as lawlessness continues in the country, certain stern measures will be required. The Amnesty statement said "up to 6,000 convicted political prisoners" are still believed held, many of them jailed under martial law tribunals. Amnesty noted Soames has suspen- ded these tribunals, but said: "This should be regarded as an acknowledgement of the serious deficiencies of this judicial mechanism, and we believe that a general amnesty for all prisoners convicted by them should be serio'usly considered."
