WASHINGTON — With the
“stop-Carter” movement failing in
Pennsylvania, Sen. Hubert H.
Humphrey is being asked to step at
least part way into the race for the
Democratic presidential nomina
tion.
Sources close to Humphrey, the
party’s 1968 presidential nominee,
indicate he will say yes.
However, Humphrey said after
former Georgia Gov. Jimmy Carter’s
victory in Pennsylvania, “I want to
see the Democratic party win. If
Jimmy Carter can win. I’m not going
to try and stop him at all.”
Formation of a Humphrey cam
paign committee was expected to be
announced today following the Car
ter win in Tuesday’s Pennsylvania
primary, his seventh first-place
finish in nine primaries.
“We think there is a necessity for
moving ahead now,” said Rep. Paul
Simon, D-Ill., one of the leaders of
the Humphrey movement.
If Humphrey agrees to let the
campaign committee operate on his
behalf, it would make him legally a
candidate under federal election
law, although he has not announced
his candidacy formally.
A group of Humphrey supporters
put together a tentative campaign
committee Tuesday to be headed by
Minneapolis businessman Robert
Short. Sources within the group said
they had scheduled a meeting today
to ask Humphrey to give his blessing
to the effort.
Even if Humphrey continues to
withhold a formal announcement of
his candidacy, the committee could
begin immediately trying to line up
convention support for him, princi
pally from among the many uncom
mitted delegates being picked in
state primaries and caucuses.
Such a committee also could begin
setting up the machinery necessary
for the convention manuevering that
will be essential if Humphrey is to
get the 1,505 delegate votes he
would need for nomination.

Humphrey has said for some time
that he would accept a draft but
would not campaign in the
primaries. However, he has added
recently that he might reappraise
the situation after the last primaries
are held June 8 and enter the race
more actively if no other candidate
has emerged as the clear party
choice by that time.
But the Pennsylvania results se

Associated Press Writer
TYLER, Tex. — President Ford,
facing a potential showdown primary
here with challenger Ronald Re
agan, accused his opponent today of
trying harder and swinging wilder
because he is behind in the race for
Republican convention delegates.
In remarks prepared for a public
forum at Tyler Junior College, Ford
said, referring to primary battles in
which he bested the former Califor
nia governor: “Somewhere be-
and
tween the snows of New Hampshire
and the sunny climes down in
Florida, the focus of this year’s Re
publican campaign for the presi
dency began to shift away from the
growing strength and prosperity of
the American economy to a new and
complex issue: the strength of
America’s military forces.
“Now, I’ve been down the cam
paign trail before and I know there’s
a reason why a challenger will try to
shift his attack. It’s called second
place. It makes you try harder-
swing wilder, too.”
In other remarks for later in the
day. Ford decried “simple solutions
to complex problems” and expressed
determination to keep Americans
safe from crime at home and from
war and aggression abroad.
Trying to stake out his own issues
in the face of challenge to his defense
leadership by GOP challenger
Ronald Reagan, Ford emphasized
anticrime efforts in his text for a
speech to three law groups.
But he wound up with the pledge
to “continue to insure that the
United States of America is unsur
passed in military capability” — a
pledge he seems compelled to make
everywhere because of Reagan’s
persistent campaigning on that is
sue.
On preserving peace at home and
abroad. Ford said, “There are no
easy answers, no simple solutions to
the complex problems of personal
and national security. But our de
termination to solve these problems
is in itself a source of strength. And
our warning to those who threaten
our security at home or abroad is the
same: Americans will never be in
timidated and Americans will keep
the security and independence we
have had for 200 years.”
Ford flew to Texas on Tuesday
night to campaign up to the eve of a
Saturday primary in which he says
Reagan is the front-runner.
The President came to Texas via
Louisiana, where he went through a
heavy round of public activity in the
Shreveport area, whose television
and radio stations have large audi
ences in East Texas.
Ford does not face a primary test
in Louisiana.
The first stop on Ford’s four-day
trip, the longest he has made during
the campaign season, was at
Barksdale Air Force Base, La.
There, with B52 bombers lined up
nearby, he declared, “I pledge to
you today that as long as I hold this
honored office, I intend to see to it
that the United States will never be
come second to anybody.”
Reagan has been arguing that the

Wallace notes strength
says he remains No. 2
Associated Press
HOUSTON — Alabama Gov.
George Wallace, ignoring his distant
finish in the Pennsylvania primary,
has closed his campaign for Satur
day’s Texas primary by telling sup
porters he still is a viable candidate
for the Democratic presidential
nomination.
“I do say it never hurts you to win
a primary,” Wallace told about 150
supporters at a rally here last night.
“However, I did not consider that
I would do well in Pennsylvania at
all, because we did not campaign
much in that state.”
Wallace told rallies at Longview
and Houston yesterday in the last of
the three campaign swings he’s
made through the state, that he still
is the No. 2 Democratic candidate in
popular vote.
“We have the second number of
popular vote of the four presidential
candidates running in the
primaries,” Wallace said. “So we re
still a viable candidate for the presi
dency and nobody’s going to the
convention with a majority of the
delegate votes in my opinion.
“If we can pick up some delegates
in the great state ofTexas to join with
the delegates that we already have,
which are 104, then there are 23
other primaries and we can
enough delegates to be avia
didate at the Democratic conj
tion. ”
