Wallace Plank Gains At Convention After McGovern Line
Delegates largely backed McGovern oriented planks at the convention after withdrawal talks. Wallace supporters complained Americans feel neglected by big government but the platform committee’s six hour vote settled on a mix including ending U S forces in Indochina, prisoner release as a precondition to ending hostilities, school busing for equality, abolition of capital punishment, gun control debate, anti inflation measures, and replacing welfare with a federal system.
