McCarthy Won't Lead Fourth-Party Ticket
Senator Eugene J. McCarthy states he would not head a new party bid if he loses the Democratic nomination but might back a substantial independent effort led by others. He hints he may cancel plans to meet North Vietnamese diplomats, cites conditions for any independent support, and notes Humphrey could back him if he secures the Democratic nomination. Nixon predicts a November victory aided by Democratic primary momentum. Rockefeller criticizes national transportation policy, Wallace aims to be on most state ballots, and New Jersey Governor Hughes notes potential McCarthy delegate walkouts.
