of their parties, and other
political leaders, were invited by

cerning presidential character:
What sort of person should be
elected president on Nov. 2,
1976, and why? Following is one
of these contributions.
By George C. Wallace
We have reached a time
when we must have new
leadership determined to
place what the people think
ahead of all other con
siderations The people want
to believe. They want to trust.
Crises, both foreign and
domestic, demand this new
leadership Our problems are
grave. They demand answers.
Our people cry out for these
answers. They do not want to
continue to feel their lives are
in suspension.
There is a new mood among
the people that they want to
know where they are going.
They want strength and
courage and wisdom in
government. There is one
thing certain. They do not
want half-baked notions, worn
out repeats of yesterday’s
broken promises or weak
leaders who say one thing and
mean another. They have had
their fill of experiments by
the courts and the radical
changers They do not want
total government.
They hunger for straight
talk Hope for a new day for
themselves and their families.
Hope for America. They want
to restore our national will to
achieve America's destiny.
The man who will be presi
dent must be more than an
elected official who will head
the executive branch of
government. He must be a
lightning rod to draw the fire
of what affects our people. He
must be a reflection of faith in
the people.
He must have the
capabilities to determine the
right course and provide the
responsive, concerned

leadership for our country to
follow to achieve new hap
piness for our people and to
find realistic answers to
problems that besiege our
land.
He must be wise and use his
wisdom. He must have the
courage of his convictions. He
must see the total picture of
what is happening to us. He
must see what the courts are
doing in destroying the hap
piness of our people. He must
see what is happening in the
destruction of the middle
class by high prices and high
taxes and government in
terference in every part of
their lives. He must unders
tand the economic downpull
that inflation is creating, par
ticularly among young
marrieds and large families
and older citizens, and he
must be dedicated to an
answer for the jobless. He
must be prepared to overhaul
our foreign policy to meet in
ternational challenges.
The clearest mirror of this
time is whether the people
trust the candidates to rebuild
the confidence in a fulfillment
of the true American dream.
We are at a period when the
politicians must be convinced
the people are right. There
must be strong bonds between
average citizens and the
government. The big test is
one of moral courage to meet

on intercepts of private cable
The House subcommittee on
government information and
individual rights Wednesday
voted 6-1 to challenge the claim
of executive privilege to muzzle
officer and creating a disturbance, all misdemeanors. He
was applauded by approximately 400 spectators as he
stepped from the stairway leading from the cables. This
was McPeak’s second arrest for wire-walking at Hoover
Dam, having paid a $250 fine for his first. (UPI)
a responsibility to every
citizen of every race, creed,
color, religion and national
origin to remove all doubts as
to the road ahead.
The new leadership must
have these human qualities
that reach out to help the truly
needy but does nothing for the
lazy and greedy. And the good
common sense to realize that
free enterprise must survive
and big government must not
interfere in the freedoms of
our people.
We look around and see that
the people seek an end to such
afflictions as forced busing,
regressive taxation on
average citizens, global
welfare at the expense of
domestic projects and welfare
loading at home.
The people want to know
they can achieve peace
through strength, that they
can have law and order, that
they will have a reform of the
federal judiciary, that they
will rebuild their cities, that
they will control their en
vironment, that they will help
the older citizens, and that
they will create job oppor
tunities.
Those who still hang on to
radical proposals, social
schemes, pie-in-the-sky
giveaways that have no
meaningful value to the peo
ple will breed only more dis
enchantment because our peo-
George Corley Wallace, governor of Alabama, was born
Aug. 25,1919, the son of Alabama farmers. He was graduated
from the University of Alabama Law School in 1942, and serv
ed in the Army Air Force in World War 11. He was assistant
Alabama attorney general, 1946-47, and served in the state’s
Legislature, 1947-53. Elected governor in 1962, he tried the
next year to block desegregation of the University of
Alabama. His wife Lurleen became governor in 1966, but died
two years later. As 1968 third-party presidential candidate
Wallace garnered nearly 10 million popular votes and 45 elec
toral votes, campaigning against Vietnam War protesters,
liberals, integrationists and Washington “bureaucrats.” He
was reelected governor in 1970 and 1974. During the 1972 cam
paign for the Democratic nomination, Wallace piled up strong
vote totals in Midwest and Southern primaries, but was shot
and partially paralyzed May 15. He then withdrew from the
race. Wallace remarried after his wife’s death; he has four
children.

investigation.
President Ford, in signed
letters dated Feb. 17, ordered
Attorney General Edward Levi
and Defense Secretary Donald
S. Rumsfeld to instruct the
witnesses to “decline to comply
with the subpoenas.”
Rep. Bella Abzug, D-N.Y.,
chairman of the committee that
issued the subpoenas, angrily
denounced the move as “un
precedented interference," and
demanded to know how execu
tive privilege could cover
Western Union, RCA Global
Communications and ITT World
Communications — private
companies.
And Rep. John Moss, D-
Calif., a panel member, said he
did not recognize Levi’s au
thority under Ford’s executive
privilege to muzzle witnesses.
He called it “the most
outrageous assumption and the
most arrogant display by an
attorney general that I have
seen — some damned two-bit
appointee of the President.”
pie do not want to be short
changed ever again.
They want government
responsive to the people. They
want to believe again. They
want government of the peo
ple, by the people and for the
people.
Now is the time to shape
truth and reason with such
perfection that our people will
become involved as never
before in rejuvenating the
true American spirit.
It is a great hour that will
test us as to whether we can
face up to challenges to keep
ablaze the torch of freedom.
It is an hour to ask God to
stand beside us and guide us
through the night with a light
from above.
It is an hour when our peo
ple pray we will find a new
day for America, provide
liberty and justice for all. and
march with pride and purpose
toward another 100 years as
the greatest nation on this
earth.
