THE BATTALION !()_ 195 Thursday, October 10, 1968 College Station, Texas Page 3 m Km Wallace Says Polls Rigged For Nixon ALBANY, N. Y. <A>) _ George C. Wallace charged Wednesday that Richard M. Nixon is in ca hoots with the Gallup Poll and said the national public opinion polls are rigged. Wallace called for a congres sional investigation of the pro fessional polltakers, who he said are controlled by the Eastern moneyed interests. The third-party presidential challenger predicted the next ma jor poll will show that he has lost ground to Republican Nixon. He offered this explanation at a rally of 5,000 in Scranton, Pa., elab orating at an airport news con ference in Albany later: “Mr. Nixon said in Michigan the other day Gov. Wallace is beginning to lose some of his sup port — and the reason for that is, Mr. Nixon knows what the Gal lup Poll is going to say in advance. “Because they are for Mr. Nix on. And we ought to have a Congressional investigation of these professional pollsters in the country.” A spokesman for Gallup said in Princeton, N. J., that there was McCarthy Makes HHH Sad, Refuses To Endorse Him no truth whatsoever to Wallace’s charges. “The Gallup Poll has never done any work for any party or candidate,” he said. “We’re fact finders. We report the facts as we find them.” It was not known whether Wal lace had had a pre-publication look at the next Gallup or Harris polls. They are distributed to news media in advance 6f publi cation date and frequently the word gets out. “In my judgment,” Wallace complained as he arrived for a rally on the capitol grounds here, “this Eastern moneyed in terest crowd has controlled the polls, and ought to be investi gated in the next Congress, be cause they are trying themselves to elect candidates by molding public opinion, by trying to point out a winner. “But they’re not going to get by with that.” On questioning, Wallace iden tified the Eastern moneyed in terests as the multibillion-dollar, tax-exempt foundations that he condemns in virtually every cam paign speech.

Humphrey said Wednesday “I feel a little sad” at Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy’s refusal to endorse him for the presidency. Humphrey said, however, “I’m not prone to start meeting condi tions. I state my own case.” The vice president’s comment at an airport news conference apparently referred to McCar thy’s statement ■ Tuesday night that he would not endorse Hum phrey at this time, but that there were conditions he hoped Hum phrey would adopt. McCarthy called for a shift in Vietnam war policy, a restruc turing of the draft system and reform of the Democratic party machinery. While flying from Boston to New York to accept the state’s Liberal party presidential nomi nation Humphrey told newsmen he talked to McCarthy on the UNITED CHEST Security Chief Asks Students’ Help To Ease Game Parking Problems (Continued From Page 1) and energetic campaign director in Ed Fenner,” Schleider empha sized.

They have been requested to remove their cars Saturday from several lots in the immediate vicinity of Kyle Field to help pro vide ample parking facilities for visitors attending the A&M-Tech game.

Parking lots needed for Sat urday’s game include Lots 9, 30, 31, 48 and 49, which provide nearly 2,000 spaces, Powell pointed out. Students, however, will not be without adequate parking facili ties. Powell said they may park in space available north of Ross and east of Houston, as well as along the streets in these areas. Lots also available for students asked to remove their cars are 4, 5, 7 and 8. While all cars should be re moved by the 10 a.m. deadline, Powell added, “it does not mean that a student attending the game with his family or friends cannot compete for space later in the day.” Powell said home games de mand “a lot of cooperation on the part of everyone” and called for “good sportsmanship both on the field and off.” telephone Tuesday.

Exley and exhibit chairman said. The “HO” gauge brass logging locomotives are of the type used in the Northwest at the turn of the century. They are wood and oil type engines.

Wallace, and said someday they might be called “President Agnew” and “Presi dent LeMay.” “It could happen,” Humphrey said in reminding the liberal audi ence that either Republican Gov. Spiro T. Agnew of Maryland or retired Air Force Gen. Curtis LeMay would be only a heartbeat away from the presidency if the Democratic ticket is defeated. Humphrey then praised his own running mate, Sen. Edward Mus- kie of Maine, saying: “I have never had to draw Ed Muskie kicking and screaming back into the mainstream of my own cam paign — or into the 20th century.
