Florida governor said “the time
has come when we must stop
talking about an American
dream, and start listening to
the dreams of Americans.”
Despite a “thunder of discon
tent,” Askew said, Americans
need “someone to tell them
that it’s all worthwhile;
someone who understands that
their moment of doubt caijnot
be allowed to grow into an age
of despair.”
Askew said that “we’re
coming to the dawn of the
maturing of America ... a day
when there’s hope at last that
all Americans will understand
the failure of violence as away
of promoting or of resisting
change...”
Americans, Askew said, are
questioning “a system that
seems to have lined all the
power of big government, big
business, big agriculture, big
money and even big labor
against them ... when the
business lunch of steak and
martinis is tax deductible, but
the working man’s lunch of
salami and cheese is not.”
“There is indeed a new
coalition in this country,”
Askew said, “a coalition of
protest. It includes black and
white, young and old, North and
South, right and left, some of
the rich, most of the poor, and
millions of overtaxed and
overcharged middle-income
Americans as well.”
The handsome Floridian said
that Democrats can “give this
coalition of protest a leader,
and we can stand by that
leader, whoever he or she
might be.”
He called for an end to
“dollar democracy and govern
ment by the few,” and
elimination of “those secret
documents and secret meetings
which only serve to protect the
politician.”
“We can fight the battle for
tax reform as it’s never been
fought before, and let others
talk of waiting till next year,”
Askew said.
He said the party must lead a
fight for “decent health and
medical care” for everyone, for
restoration of competitive pri
vate enterprise, and for the day

when every citizen “has a real
chance to make it in everyday
business.”
“we can dedicate ourselves to
the pursuit of responsive
government after the election,
not just the practice of good
politics before,” Askew said.
Nixon
just
nodded
By EUGENE V. RISHER
SAN CLEMENTE, Calif.
(UPl)—President Nixon, his re
election campaign already
geared to a faceoff with George
McGovern, just nodded and
returned to conferring with his
advisers when told the South
Dakota senator had the Demo
cratic nomination in the bag.
Nixon had no comment to
make on the Democratic
choice, said Press Secretary
Ronald Ziegler.
While the Democrats were
reaching the windup of their
contest for the nomination,
Nixon was meeting Tuesday
with two men who figure in his
re-election planning — Robert
Finch, a White House counselor
and old friend who helped
manage Nixon’s 1968 campaign,
and Caspar Weinberger, his
chief budget manager.
The President was talking
with Weinberger when Ziegler
told him that Sens. Edmund
Muskie and Hubert Humphrey
had withdrawn from the race,
leaving the nomination to
McGovern.
“He just nodded,” Ziegler
said later.
Representatives of the Nixon
campaign organization are in
Miami Beach to gather first
hand knowledge.
Although Ziegler refused to
comment on McGovern’s victo
ry, it apparently did not
surprise any of the President’s
strategists, who began several
weeks ago gearing their cam
paign apparatus to do battle
with McGovern.
They have examined most of
McGovern’s public pronounce
ments in detail and prepared
counter arguments to most of
his positions.
Nixon also talked by tele
phone with former Treasury
Secretary John B. Connally,
who arrived in Washington
following a five-week round-the
world trip as the President’s
special representative.
Connally will fly here late
this week, probably Friday to
report to the President on his
conversations with world lead
ers. He visited more than 20
countries to explain Nixon’s
foreign policy and details of his
Moscow and Peking summits.
Secretary of State William P.
Rogers, who is scheduled to
return later this week from a
visit to eight countries, also will
meet with Nixon, probably on
Saturday.
Medicaid
cutting
SIOO,OOO
By United Press International
The Medicaid program is cut
ting off nearly SIOO,OOO in fed
eral funds to ten Georgia nurs
ing homes because they flunked
safety code inspections, it was
announced Tuesday.
The homes, which have a
total capacity for 488 patients,
were charged with inadequate
physical facilities, including fire
escape systems, doorways,
sprinkler systems and unsatis
factory storage of drugs.
Lewis Bates of the state
health facilities license branch,
said the homes failed to meet
the standards prescribed by the
1967 Life Safety Code.
“We personally don’t have
any authority to enforce the
code, but Medicaid can bring a
little pressure by cutting off the
money to these homes, which
they did,” Bates said.
Bates said his office was now
paying particular attention to
homes caring for the elderly
that do not receive federal
funds, and which meet no
standards.
“There are many old age
care homes in the Atlanta area
that I would term flop houses,”
he said. “They’re plain filthy
with old folks sleeping on mat
tresses on the floor and given
just enough food to exist.
