HHH Appeals to Sulking
McCarthyites for Support
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
NEA Washington Correspondent
Listening for once to really warming cheers from Democra
tic party faithful, Vice President Humphrey felt the contagion.
But he still found it necessary to talk beyond them to the
McCarthyite dissidents who are denying him full party sup
port across the country.
“Together we can win, but separate we lose,” he said.
It was one of the most candid confessions of urgent diffi
culty ever heard from a presidential nominee this early in a
campaign.
Still talking to the dissidents, he cast the problem of the
party’s disunity in another light:
“VVe can’t unite the nation if we can't unite the vehicle (the
Democratic party) which wants to help the nation.”
New York leaders like John Burns and John English con
tinue to warn privately that Humphrey’s fears are well
grounded. Many, many supporters of Sen. Eugene McCarthy
simply have not come out of their sulking tents.
National Chairman Lawrence F. O’Brien showed his deep
ened concern for the problem when he came close to convert
ing a nationally televised panel show into a platform for an
impassioned plea to the disaffected to return to the fold.
Underscoring the general fright was word from Minneapolis
that backers of McCarthy, of Sen. George McGovern of South
Dakota, and in some cases of the late Robert F. Kennedy plan
to meet in larger session there on Oct. 5-6 to plan a general
strategy for taking over the party’s leadership for the election
battles of 1972.
It is without precedent for any substantial elements of a
major party to begin planning openly for the next election
even before that party has finished its struggles in the current
election.
Some Democratic figures are reading this development as
proof these dissidents not only expect Humphrey to lose, but
want him to lose and lose big so they more easily seize upon
the shattered remnants of the party.
The unreconstructed McCarthyites obviously are resisting
loyalty appeals and ignoring argument that a massive presi
dential defeat in 1968 might cast the party into the abyss for
many years to come. They can cite the quick 1966 rebound of
the Republicans from the Goldwater cataclysm of 1964.
Such a comparison could prove, however, to be far too glib.
The victorious Republicans in 1966 were heavily advantaged
by general revulsion against the Vietnam war and by the in
credible unpopularity of President Johnson rising out of that
war and his curious inability to sell even his best programs.
Dissident Democrats cannot fairly assume that a trium
phant Richard Nixon would still have the Vietnam war on his
bands in 1970 or beyond or that he would necessarily be en
cumbered by any of the other special handicaps which
plunged Lyndon Johnson into the depths.
The McCarthyite strategists due to gather soon in Minne
apolis may devise a game plan that could indeed give them
Democratic party control if Humphrey loses big. But they
might wake up in 1971 to learn they were presiding over an
empty shell.

This Is the Stripe of Career
Agitators, Riot Fomenters
By RAY CROMLEY
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON (NEA)
• Because there’s talk they’ll attempt a new’ “confrontation”
on election day, now is a good time to jot down a few notes
about three top strategists of the Chicago youth riots.
DAVID DELLINGER, 53, was born at Wakefield, Mass. In
October, 1940, he refused to register for the draft. He balked
even at registering himself as a conscientious objector.
As a result, Dellinger was indicted by a New York grand
jury. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to one year and a
day in prison.
On being released. Dellinger registered for military service
but said he was a conscientious objector. In June, 1943, he
was charged with failure to report for a physical examination.
He again pleaded guilty and was sentenced in August 1943 at
Newark. N.J., to two years in prison.
Little was heard of Dellinger for the next two decades.
It is known that he was editor of Liberation magazine, pub
lished by the Fellowship of Reconciliation and that in April,
1964, he traveled to Cuba legally as a news representative.
As chairman of the National Mobilization Committee to End
the War in Vietnam. Dellinger was a major organizer of the
October. 1967. march on the Pentagon.
JERKY CLYDE RUBIN, 30, was born in Cincinnati. Ohio,
attended Oberlin College for one year and the University of
Cincinnati five years, ending up with a B.S. degree in Ameri
can history in 1962. He later did graduate work in sociology.
He traveled to Cuba illegally in 1964.
Rubin has been a full-time paid employe of the Vietnam
Day Committee. At a rally sponsored by that committee in
1965, he favored "massive civil disobedience” and was quoted
as saying, "We must consider treason—deliberate sabotage
of the war machine.”
In 1967, lie was an unsuccessful candidate for mayor of
Berkeley, Calif., on a platform opposing war and espousing
black power and the legalization of marijuana.
As a co-ordinator of the Oct. 21, 1967, march on the Pen
tagon, Rubin was quoted as saying, .“The peace movement is
no longer one of merely protest and demonstration. We are
now in the business of wholesale and widespread resistance
and dislocation of the American society. We, the American
people, are going to have to close down the Pentagon, the
universities, the banks . . .”
On June 13, 1968, Rubin was arrested by the New York City
police on a charge of possessing .marijuana. He is, at present
a leader of the Youth International Party (Yippies).
THOMAS HAYDEN. 28. was a founder of the Students for a
Democratic Society (SDS), was principal author of the 1962
Port Huron Statement which is the basis of SDS ideology,
and was an SDS national president.
In December-January, 1965-66. Hayden went to North Viet
nam illegally with Communist Partv USA theoretician Herb
ert Aptheker and with Staughton Lynd.
In September. 1967. Hayden and 40 other Americans went
to Bratislava; Czechoslovakia, for a one-week conference with
North Vietnamese and Viet Cong representatives.
Hayden was one of the instigators of the demonstrations
against Dow Chemical Co. recruiters at Rutgers University.
conclusions “were based upon
intelligence estimates of Soviet
nuclear attack submarine per
formance characteristcs which
were erroneously too low and
have since been revised upward
on two occasions.
Although Russia has a larger
fleet—3so compared to this
country's 146 subs—McNamara
determined that the U.S. lead in
nuclear propulsion gave Ameri
ca a quality lead over Soviet
quantity. Os the U.S. total, 105
are attack boats, 33 nuclear
powered and 72 propelled by
diesel. The forty-one others are
Polaris missile firing subs.
The Senate report said Russia
had difficulties originally in
developing nuclear propulsion
but now is producing "nuclear
submarines at a rapid rate.”
Manufactured
Home Sales Up
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The
Home Manufacturers Associa
tion reported today that sales
of manufactured homes and
components are running well
ahead of 1967. and that this
rate should indicate a record
year for their segment of t h e
housing market.
HMA financial analyst G. C.
Klippel states that, with mem
ber companies reporting a 48
percent increase in July, seven
months sales are a whopping 38
percent ahead for the year to
date. July was the biggest sin
gle month since August 1966, ac
cording to Klippel, the indepen
dent analyst who receives and
evaluates confidential sales re
ports from several phases of the
construction industry.
Poultry Inspections
Are Not Uniform

al poultry Inspectors are not

the nation’s most costly chicken
disease, the Agriculture Depart
ment said today.
Officials said a three-state
test has disclosed that condem
nation rates for leukosis are
much higher at some process
ing plants than at others.
It is not known whether some
inspectors are being too lax or
others are overzealously con
demning wholesome chickens,
the officials said.
The disease does not cause
illness in humans, officials said
but is still automatic grounds
for condemning chickens in
plants under federal inspection.
In 1967, condemnations for leu
kosis amounted to 29.6 million
pounds, or 1.3 per cent of all
broilers produced.
Tlie three-state test showed
that for processors handling
50,000 broilers daily, the differ

MIGRANT WORKERS harvest beans at a farm in upstate
New York. There are about 17,000 seasonal farm workers
in New York, about half of them from out of state. The

foods are available to migrants, just as they are to other

to from $62,500 to $212,000 a
year.
Results of the test were dis
closed by department officials
to poultry industry executives
at a meeting last Thursday in
Atlanta, but were not supplied
to newsmen who had asked in
advance to be informed here
when the report was complete.
The information was furn
ished to reporters here in re
sponse to queries after the re
port was carried in a poultry
trade association newsletter.
The test of the uniformity of
federal inspection was made
last spring and early summer
in four pairs of processing
plants in Mississippi, Georgia
and Maryland. It grew out of
repeated complaints of nonuni
form inspection results from
poultry industry spokesmen.
Agents selected four pairs of
federally Inspected processing
plants. For each pair, three
separate poultry flocks were
used, with half of each flock

Democratic secretary Joe

him to say he was modifying

from the executive committee,
and intended to blast the na

In theory, disease condemna
tion rates for a single flock
should be about the same at
any inspected plant. Officials
found however, that inspectors
at one plant condemned 5.08 per
cent of a flock while inspectors
at another condemned only 2.53
per cent of the other half of the
same flock.
In another instance, half a
split flock suffered 1.25 per cent
condemnations, while the other
half had a 0.72 per cent condem
nation rate at another plant.
