Wallace Looking To 1976 As Country Boy Roosevelt
President Nixon is optimistic that a Paris ceasefire in Vietnam will hold with pressure from Moscow and Peking to stop the fighting. The Chinese cite the 20 year old Korean truce as a model for a stand-still in Vietnam, while urging peace instead of prodding Hanoi. Hub Gardner attended the event but did not know Windham's standards. Gardner declares readiness to work, seeks space in the Daily for future words and a photo, and asks readers to watch for publication before August 9th, 1972.
