“My Savior and Almighty
Friend,” by Isaac Watts is the
hymn we have chosen from the
Century old Hymnal we have to
reproduce this week.
My Saviour, my almighty
Friend,
When I begin thy praise,
Where will the growing
numbers end,
The numbers of they grace?
Thou art my everlasting
trust;
Thy goodness I adore:
Send down thy grace, O
blessed Lord,
That I may love thee more.
My feet shall travel all the
length
Os the celestial road:
And march with courage in
thy strength,
To see the Lord my God.
Awake! awake! my tuneful
powers,
With this delightful song,
And entertain the darkest
hours,
Nor think the season long.
Eclipse
Georgians will have a chance
to see one of nature’s rarest
and most awe - inspiring spec
tacles next Monday—an eclipse
of the sun.

and improved living, working
environment for all the citizens.

Trail’s executive director,
Wade Pierce, says his com
mission was given this grant to
study and determine the needs
of the aged in services.
“Our program is designed to
research for resources to fill the
gaps,” he said.
Trail officials want to provide
some workable solutions for
these problems rather than to
just point them out.
“We are particularly in
terested in housing, not
necessarily substandard, but
rather homes that are not
designed to accomodate the
aged.” Pierce continued.
He pointed out examples of
homes’ being too large or those
having steps rather than ramps
as well as those which are
classified as substandard or
inadequate.

feels that the desires and wishes
of the elderly should be kept in
mind. He says the study should
come up with ways to ac
comodate the aging without
having to dispalace them.
“If we find that an aged’s
living conditions are not
standard we have got to find
ways to repair and develop that
house and property on the
spot,” Houghtaling continued.
A prime derective of the study

The commissions also will
study gainful employment for

Secluded Wallace
ponders course
By BESSIE FORD
MIAMI BEACH (UPI) -
George C. Wallace secluded
himself in the presidential suite
of a plush hotel today and
pondered whether he had the
physical stamina or the politi
cal muscle to turn the
Democratic party away from a
course he found distasteful.
Aides scrubbed plans for his
participation Sunday on three
television panel shows. They
said an appearance before the
Democratic National Conven
tion also remained in doubt.

Georgia delegation uncertain
ATLANTA (UP!)—The Geor
gia delegation to the Democrat
ic National Convention headed
for an uncertain future in Mi
ami Beach Friday.
The delegates are split in sev
eral directions and there is no
certainty the compromise
worked out by state party lead
ers will be accepted by the con
vention.
Os those delegates who have
committed themselves, 10 are
for Sen. George S. McGovern,
pale from his hospitalization,
planned no activities today
except a brief appearance as
host at a party for all
convention delegates.
That itself presented a
problem. In Alabama Wallace
refuses to attend public affairs
where liquor is served. But,
said Charles Snider, his cam
paign manager, “We will have
to serve booze or nobody will
come.’’
Suite Heavily Guarded
Three doctors and four nurses
were kept on standby in a room
near Wallace’s heavily guarded
suite on the 20th floor of the
Sheraton Four Ambassadors.

where he reclaimed gubernator

day absence since an attempt

Vol. 100 No. 158
MIAMI BEACH (UPI) -
George S. McGovern confronted
his greatest challenge today, a
coalition of all other candidates
who joined behind a Supreme
Court decision that could stop
him agonizingly short of the
Democratic presidential nomin
ation.
In a sharp setback for
McGovern almost on the eve of
the convention, the Supreme
Court Friday night blocked
lower court rulings which gave
McGovern all California’s 271
delegate votes and barred the
seating of Chicago Mayor
Richard J. Daley.
The effect of the Supreme
Court’s action, by a 6-3 vote
after hours of closed discussion,
was to strip McGovern of at
least 151 and possibly 153
California votes. At the same
time it gave him 41 of Daley’s
59 votes.
The net reduction of approxi
mately 110 votes reduced
McGovern’s total, by his own
count, to 1,431, and by a UPI
tabulation to 1,285 of the 1,509
needed for nomination.
Prospects Boosted
It also boosted the prospects
of Hubert H. Humphrey and
Edmund S. Muskie, gave new
hope to fringe candidates and
assured the Democrats of a
bitter, divisive public bloodlet
ting.
While delegates arrived by
the planeload, officials pre
pared for any eventuality. The
first of an estimated 2,500
Army paratrooper and Marine
riot control troops arrived early
today at a tent encampment in
Homestead Air Force Base, 25
miles from Miami Beach, ready
to move in case of violence.
They were backing 6,350 other
law enforcement personnel,
including 3,000 Florida National
Guardsmen.
Humphrey, Muskie and Henry
M. Jackson immediately issued
statements lauding the Su
preme Court’s decision to stay
out of convention politics.
National Chairman Lawrence
F. O’Brien said the convention
would abide by the ruling.
McGovern, who has threa
tened to bolt the party if he
loses the nomination because he
is denied the California votes,
was in Washington but his
office issued a statement that
said “it is now the responsibili
ty of the delegates...to protect
the ‘rule of law’ and the
nation’s time-honored sense of
fair play.”

However, the governor said if
any of the delegates are unseat
