HHH, Nixon Go After
Big California Vote
By United Press International
Hubert H. Humphrey and
Richard M. Nixon went after
California’s big bloc of electoral
votes today with Democrats
enthusing over and Republicans
scoffing at polls showing
Humphrey closing the gap.
Nixon, exuding confidence at
every public appearance, threw
a new element into his
campaign Sunday by saying he
would be willing to go to Paris
or Saigon before his inaugura
tion to help get the Vietnam
peace talks “off dead center.”
Humphrey, also oozing con
fidence, was exuberant over his
surprising jump in the polls and
two important campaign appea
rances by President Johnson
Sunday in his behalf.
Aides to Humphrey said in
Los Angeles Sunday night the
candidate was confident he
would get at least 313 electoral
votes in Tuesday’s balloting, 43
more than he needs. Nixon
aides say their candidate will
get at least 330 and possibly 450
of the 538 electoral votes.
Nixon, appearing on a nation
al television program (Meet the
Press—NßC), insisted his offer
to go to Saigon ot Paris
reminiscent of Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower’s pledge to go to
Korea if elected—was not a
“grandstand stunt.”
Johnson, campaigning for
Humphrey Sunday, told a
Houston Astrodome crowd Hum
phrey should be elected “for the
sake of our American Union.”
On a nationwide television
political broadcast Sunday
night, Johnson urged Americans
not to sit out the election in
protest nor waste their votes on
a “spoiler” candidate, a refer
ence to third-party candidate
George C. Wallace.
In other developments:
Wallace—The former Ala
bama said Sunday if there is an
electoral deadlock in Tuesday’s
election, he will throw his
support only to the candidate
who vows to carry out the
promises Wallace has made.
The promises included, he said,
a return to local government,
“stop taxing the little man to
death,” a crackdown on “an
archy” in the streets, cutting
off foreign aid to countries not
helping the United States in
Vietnam, and others.
EATING OUT IS IN
NEW YORK (UPD—With
personal income and leisure
time on the increase, Ameri
cans are eating more and more
of their meals away from home,
National Biscuit Company re
ports.
About S3O billion a year is
now spent for food that is
consumed away from home—in
restaurants, cafeterias, drug
stores and other dining places,
the company says, In estimating
that the total will reach S4O
billion by 1971 and SSO billion by
1974. Food processors like
Nabisco are capitalizing on this
trend by developing new foods
and packaging the company
says.

COOL IT
NEW YORK (UPD—As the
1969 model cars make their
appearances in the nation’s
showrooms this fall, a hot
selling point apparently is to
“cool it.” A recent survey
shows that one out of every two
new models is air conditioned.
Further, by September, 1970,
predictions are that 70 per cent
of cars sold will have air cooled
units. The study, conducted by
Scovill Manufacturing Company,
supplier of air conditioning units
for the home and the automo
tive industry, shows consumer
demand for these items in cars
has now exceeded such de
mands for the air conditioned
home.
