McGovern Files Busing Plan To Split Democrats At Convention
Democratic platform writers backed by McGovern supporters approved a firm school busing plank by 70 to 27 over Wallace allies and moderates. The move signals a floor fight at the Democratic National Convention over desegregation methods as McGovern claims he needs about 1% more delegates to clinch the nomination. A tentative foreign policy plank also calls for immediate withdrawal of all U.S. forces in Vietnam if the Democratic nominee wins.
