McGovern Says ‘Pack Up And Get Out’ Of Yietnai
IJP) — George McGovern said
Tuesday night he would get the
United States out of Vietnam by
ordering the military to pack up
and come home. He also said new
allegations of Republican political
espionage back up his claims of
administration corruption.
In a nationally televised speech,
McGovern added to his now fa
miliar peace plan by saying he
would send Sargent Shriver as
vice president to Hanoi to speed
the return of U.S. prisoners of
war.
McGovern said if he is elected
president he would issue orders
immediately after he took the
oath of office stopping all bomb
ing, terminating shipment of war
supplies to Indochina, and start
ing total withdrawal of all U.S.
forces from Vietnam.
After this was done, he said,
he would notify representatives
of the other side that the steps

AUSTIN, Tex. GT)—The House
Insurance Committee voted 8-6
Tuesday night to send to the floor
a competitive care and house in
surance rate bill that an opponent
called “a mess” and “stupidly
worded.”
Full floor debate in the House
is expected Thursday, with Speak
er Rayford Price predicting de
feat for the measure sponsored
by his top lieutenant, Rep. Don
Cavness of Austin.
The bill, drafted by a five-man
subcommittee consisting of two
lawyers and three insurance
agents would:
—Allow insurance companies to
set their own rates and to class
ify policyholders in any way they
wished, except for race, color,
creed or national origin.
—Require the companies to file
their rates with the State Insur
ance Board on or before they take
effect.
—Direct the board to continue
collecting the loss experience of
all companies and to set a “stan
dard average rate.” Companies
could charge that rate if they
wished but would not be required
to as they are now.
—Continue to present require
ment that all companies use stan
dard policy language prescribed
by the board.
“The basic regulator would be
competition, but the insurance
board will be given definite au
thority to make sure rates are not
excessive, inadequate or unfairly
discriminatory,” Cavness said.
Rep. Vernon Beckham of Deni
son, like Cavness an Insurance
agent, called the bill “just a mess
that has been gotten up . . .
Heaven help us if this bill gets
through and we submit it to the
people of Texas.”
He said the bill would turn the
power to set rates over to “a
group of out-of-state insurance
companies, artificial persons that
don’t have a warm heart when it
comes to the people who are buy
ing insurance.”
“I’ve understood for a long time
you are against the bill. I’d be
glad to answer your questions,”
Cavness said.
“Equal time,” replied Beckham.
“. . . I hate to see the committee
turn out a stupidly worded bill
of this nature.”
“I don’t think we blundered
around stupidly into some area of
idiotic nonsense,” Cavness said.

has been taken and call on them
to honor their offer to return
prisoners. “Thirdly,” he added, “I
would send the Vice President to
Hanoi to speed the arrangements
for the return of our prisoners
and an accounting of the miss
ing.”
McGovern said the difference
between his policy and President
Nixon’s was fundamental:
“It is a choice after all between
saving face or saving lives. It is
a choice between four more years
of war or four years of peace.”
The television speech, carried
by the CBS network and a num
ber of other stations, was the
first nationwide paid telecast by
the Democratic nominee.
The half hour speech, first of
a projected weekly series, was
taped in Washington Sunday and
broadcast Tuesday evening as Mc
Govern was campaigning in Chi
cago.
The reports of political espio
nage came from a story in Tues
day’s Washington Post saying the
newspaper had evidence of mas
sive Republican spying and sabo
tage against Democratic candi
dates.
The reports brought the angry
charge from Chairman Wright
Patman of the House Banking
Committee that President Nixon
is responsible for an effort “to
assassinate an entire political
party through espionage.”
The Texas Democrat vowed to
try again to open an official in
vestigation of events uncovered
after five men were caught during
a break in at Democratic party
headquarters in Washington’s
Watergate complex last June. His
committee voted last week against
a hearing.
Campaigning in Detroit, Mc
Govern said the new reports prove
his previous statement that the
Watergate case is not an isolated
incident. “I’ve heard reports for
months about the administration
engaging in tactics of this kind.”
Shriver said in New Kensington,
Pa., he had no personal knowledge
of what the Post reported but
said it is unbelieveable to him
that Nixon did not know what
was going on.”
