Dailey needles Demos
with Maier proposal
By MICHAEL O’CONNOR
Copley News Service
WASHINGTON — Mayor
Richard Daley, a man who
believes the political sun rises
and sets on Chicago with an
occasional twilight in
Washington, has proposed that
the mayor of Milwaukee be the
Democratic nominee for vice
president in 1972.
An idle comment by the
powerful and outspoken
mayor? First analysis would
indicate “yes.” But some with
more than a passing interest in
the mayor's known displeasure
with the national party
establishment feel differently.
Daley, some Democrats here
say, lofted the potential can
didacy of Mayor Henry W.
Maier of Milwaukee as a direct
slap at his party for tending to
look no further than the
boundaries of the District of
Columbia or more particularly
the U. S. Senate, for its
presidential aspirants.
Daley’s relations with
national Democrats reached
hurricane stage in Chicago
during the 1968 convention
when his hard-nose floor tactics
developed into almost as big a
story as the nomination of
Hubert Humphrey. Since then,
Daley has been reelected
mayor, tightened his grip as
Cook County’s political czar,
and has had little or nothing to
do with his national party out of
power.
He even has gone to great
lengths to show politeness to
President Nixon.
Those who have followed the
Daley whims say the exuberant
and spontaneous support for
Maier, an outgoing but tough
minded liberal who heads the
U. S. Conference of Mayors, is
his way of telling Washington
Democrats they must put on
fresh makeup if the run against
Nixon next year is to be suc
cessful.
Maier, under all cir
cumstances, should not be
considered a pace horse even
though he is as unknown as any
other U. S. municipal executive
with the exception of Daley
himself and Mayor John
Lindsay of New York.
Daley, who takes great pride
in the power of big city mid
western politics, also may be
considering the introduction of
the name of Democrat Maier to
offset the favorable publicity
accorded in recent months to
Mayor Richard Lugar of In
dianapolis, a leader of the
counterpart National League of
Cities. Republican Lugar is
known to be a political favorite
of Nixon.
In pushing the candidacy of
Maier (Daley said he would be
pleased to place his name in
nomination for vice president)
the Chicago baron also may be
attempting to burst the
national political bubble of the
Senate. Daley praised Maier as
a man who understands the
problems of the cities. There
also was a broad indication
from Daley that the election of
1972 will be won or lost in those
locales.
Daley’s bitterness with the
Democratic national leader
ship, and his belief that it is too
Senate-oriented, cannot be
discounted by the facts. In the
current memory of most
political observers, the

Texas governor
defies Nixon
By ANN ARNOLD
AUSTIN, Tex. (UPI)-The
governor of Texas has chal
lenged the President of the
United States and has ordered
the state to defy President
Nixon’s freeze on wages.
“This flagrant violation of
Texas law and the Constitution
must be challenged and that is
exactly what I’m doing,” Gov.
Preston Smith said. “I accept
full responsibility for my
action.”
Smith ordered the state to
pay more than 100,000 teachers
and state employes pay raises
passed by the Texas legislature
earlier this year but that were
not supposed to go into effect
until the Texas fiscal year
started Sept 1. White House
reaction was swift.
“It appears the governor of
Texas, for a motivation of
-which only he is aware, is
seeking to single out a group of
Texans for preferential treat
ment,” a White House state
ment said.
President Nixon, upon arriv
ing at the Western White House
in San Clemente, Calif., was
asked about Smith’s action.
“I think Gov. Connally can
handle it,” Nixon said, breaking
into a wide grin.
Nixon referred to Treasury
Secretary John B. Connally who
was Smith’s predecessor as
governor of Texas. Both Smith
and Connally are Democrats.
Smith said he was ordering
all state agencies to obey the
laws of the Texas legislature
and defy the policies of the
President.
“I am refusing to obey the
President’s order to scrap our
appropriations bill, which was
signed into law months ago,”
Smith said. “I am ordering all
agencies to follow the laws of
the 62nd legislature and award
raises to teachers and state
employes as originally author
ized by the legislature. I am
also, by this order, insuring
that no agency head will be
held liable in any way for
obeying Texas law. I accept full
responsibility for this action.”
Persons violating President
Nixon’s economic freeze are
liable of fines of $5,000.
Presidential Press Secretary
Ron Ziegler did not say if the
government would take legal
action to stop Smith, but after
reading the official White
House reaction he said:
“Tte law is that all wages
and prices are frozen for 90
days. The fine is $5,000 and I
think that all parties can be
enjoined.”
Smith said if Nixon has the
authority to negate the pay
raises in Texas “we are going
