The vice president spoke Mon day before the National Defense Transportation Association and criticized Sen.

Tower himself could not attend the reception because of a speak ing engagement in Houston. Shriver visited Corpus Christi and McAllen, and in both places he criticized the Nixon adminis tration while at the same time appealing for the Mexican-Ameri can vote in South Texas. He said his primary reason for visiting Corpus Christi was “to underscore the McGovern-Shriver policy of using more Mexican- Americans in government.” He then said that the Nixon administration is guilty of “token ism” with Mexican-Americans. Later in McAllen, Shriver shook hands with a cheering crowd of nearly 2,000 people at Archer Park while mariachi bands played in the background. He was introduced by Dr. Ra miro Casso, a McAllen physician who first launched an attack on former Gov. John Connally, call ing him a “vendido,” a Spanish term meaning someone who switches allegiance for economic reasons. Connally, a Democrat, is now campaigning for the re-election of President Nixon. Shriver said the Nixon admin istration has doubled unemploy ment, and added “Nobody in Washington cares about the un employed because they (the un employed) have no money, no bombs and no power.” Deadline Extended For Labor Survey The deadline for submission of the labor survey forms reflecting interest in the possibility of em ployment for a major pants man ufacturing plant considering lo cation in the Bryan-College Sta tion area has been extended.
