McGovern foes
try to stop him
MIAMI BEACH (UPI) -
Knowing they have to stop
George S. McGovern or forfeit
their hopes for the Democratic
presidential nomination, Hubert
H. Humphrey, Edmund S.
Muskie and George C. Wallace
fly here today to press that
effort.
McGovern, claiming enough
votes to win the nomination on
the first ballot, was scheduled
to arrive Saturday, along with
many of the state delegations
to the convention.
But a major decision, key to
the aspirations of all the
candidates, still was awaiting
action by the Supreme Court in
Washington.
Chief Justice Warren E.
Burger was expected to decide
today whether to convene the

Supreme Court in emergency
session to decide whether
McGovern can retain all 271
delegate votes he won in the
California primary or forfeit
153 of them to other candidates,
including 106 to his chief rival,
Humphrey.
The U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals ruled Wednesday that
McGovern be given all the
California delegates.
On the basis of that decision,
the latest United Press Interna
tional tabulation showed Mc-
Govern with 1,366.95 firm votes
and 55 leaning. Humphrey has
377.55, with 67 leaning; Wallace,
369 and 6 leaning; and Muskie,
193.6 and 8 leaning. There are
422.1 uncommitted delegate
votes.
Democratic officials Thurs-
day turned down a demand by
poor people that 750 of their
representatives be allowed to
lobby for their welfare cause
among the delegates on the
convention floor.
Murphy said there was no
room for anyone else on the
floor. He said he had offered
the spokesmen 50 to 75 gallery
passes for each evening session
of the convention, which opens
here Monday. A spokesman for
the poor people said the
Democratic officials must act
by noon today, and pledged to
press his fight “to the very
bitter end.”
With the candidates still
absent Thursday, vice presiden-
IRVINE, Calif. (UPI)-Fra
sier the lion may not look like
it, but he is well.
His fans were worried for a
while. Nothing had happened
for more than two months, and
people were beginning to
wonder. Had the charm disap
peared? And what about the
energy?
Had Frasier lost his touch?
Not so. But the doddering old
beast, who has fathered 33 cubs
in less than a year and a half,
had his human friends on edge
for a while. For 2M> months
there were no new cubs.
But then Frasier became a
grandfather and Frasier, not to
be outmatched, fathered two
more cubs of his own.
tial hopefuls shared the spot
light, although none of them
appeared to be in serious
contention for No. 2 place on
the Democratic party ticket.
Former Massachusetts Gov.
Endicott Peabody, who won the
New Hampshire vice presiden
tial primary, opened his con
vention campaign by claiming
he would have about 1,000
delegates by the time nomina
tions open.
In Washington, Sen. Mike
Gravel of Alaska announced
that he was a vice presidential
candidate, and Virginia Demo
cratic chairman Joseph Fitzpa
trick suggested Mississippi
newspaper editor Hodding Car
ter HI.
Frasier heads a pride of 11
lionesses. Even during his
inactivity, they still pranced
about, purring contentedly and
catering to their patriarch.
They still fetched his food and
placed it at his feet, and
propped him up when Frasier
took a hankering to stroll
about.
A Last Resort
Frasier had assumed control
of the pride only as a last
resort—after five younger and
stronger lions were mauled one
by one by the fussy lionesses.
THERE ARE men’s fash
ions and then there are
men’s fashions. Actually,
there’s nothing new here.
Knee pants and tails have
been in for a long time for
those, such as Britain’s
Prince Philip photographed
at a Buckingham Palace
state banquet, required to
cut a royal figure.

His success as a lover made
him a national sex symbol. He
was honored in Congress. He
was called “Father of the
Year.”
A few persons even cast their
votes for “Frasier for Pres
ident” in the California prima
ry. Business at die park where
he prowls for the public
boomed 22 per cent!
All because a nearly toothless
old lion with a hide like a
motheaten carpet managed to
do what no other lion could. He
took a disorganized assortment
of temperamental ladies and
whipped them into an efficient,
swiftly growing and contented
family.
The charm of it all was
Frasier was pushing the human
equivalent of 100 years old. The
muscles in his mouth had given
out during his stint as a circus
lion in Mexico, his tongue
flopped about incessantly and
he suffered in varying degrees
from rheumatism, arthritis and
a sorrowful case of bleary eyes.
A Whole Day Watching
Just before the fears arose
that Frasier might be through,
a doubting reporter spent a
whole day watching the Frasier
phenomenon. By the time the
sun went down, the venerable
lion had mated 22 times.
“And each time, you’d think
it was his last,” said a
spokesman for Lion Country
Safari, where Frasier roams in
a compound with 1,500 other
animals. “But he really doesn’t
have much choice. No sooner
does he finish and fall asleep
with his feet sticking straight
up and his tongue hanging in
the dirt, than one of the
lionesses begins seducing him.”
And then there was a string
of good news. One of Frasier’s
first cubs sired his own
youngster, making the old
patriarch a grandfather. Not to
be outdone, two of Frasier’s
wives suddenly turned up in the
maternity ward.
