McGovern Campaign Flows After Minneapolis Events
McGovern hailed women's suffrage anniversary and cited 20 000 young Americans dead since Nixon promised a secret Vietnam peace plan. He assailed Nixon for hiding from debate and masking $10 million in secret money from big backers. McGovern returned from a four day swing amid VFW and American Legion silence in Minneapolis. He won AFT backing and aims to win union support via a labor summit and Meany’s return to the Democratic fold. Shriver won ILWU endorsement as Meany’s stance vexes Meany. Changes to welfare and tax reform to cut business alienation will be unveiled Tuesday in a Wall Street speech.
