Wallace Says Middle Class Burden of Taxes Hurts Economy
Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace argues the middle class is taxed out of existence and calls for tax relief for low and middle income Americans. He plans to field at large Ohio delegates for the Democratic convention and will campaign in most state primaries excluding New Hampshire and Vermont. Wallace, speaking from an airport news conference en route to Boston, rejects boosting inflation via higher corporate taxes and notes his health remains strong despite being wheelchair bound since 1972. Fewer than 100 supporters met him on President's Day amid blustery conditions.

Meany backs Humphrey as best electable Democrat
AFL-CIO chief George Meany says Hubert H. Humphrey is the most electable Democrat to beat Ford, while Kennedy remains formidable. Meany stressed no endorsement yet and urged unions to participate in choosing delegates for the July convention. He criticized Wallace as a disaster and faulted Ford and Reagan as products of Republican conservatism. Jackson pushes candidacy with multiple union endorsements and high-profile meetings.
