UPI says 1, 000 people turned out to greet McG in Milwaukee
despite rain a short time before his arrival. McG's supporters,
many of them soaked to the skin, notes UPI, cheered and made the
"V" sign at McG as he promised again to "end this senseless slaughter
once and for all. " The war, he said, "corrupts, poisons and afflicts
everything we try to do to redeem this society. I have set before you
two choices, 11 he said quoting the Bible, "life or death, blessings or
curses. 11
Catholics are 1/4 of US electorate, said Cronkite, and at least
twice recently RN has gone on record in favor of federal assistance
to private schools, but he's said the best method for it must be
studied. And McG endorsed the idea of tax credits for private
schools. Reporter Morton said McG chose the largest Catholic
school in the largest Archdiocese in US to announce his position.
(Also noted by NBC.) He said he opposes aid to private segregated
schools, but he'll support it for other types. On film, McG said
he endorsed tax credits for parochial schools. Reporter said
McG endorsed no specific plan.
McG aides said the plan would cost $5-700M a year, but it
wouldn't mean a reduction in aid to public schools. McG on film, said
it wouldn't cover full cost of education, but that's as it should be, as
parents don't want a total federal subsidy -- only help. Morton
concluded that, without questioning Morton's sincerity, it's fair to
say McG's position is also a political plus, as it'd most effect 7
midwest states and Calif. all of which he needs to win.
Valeriani w/NBC film also noted McG's position was same as
RN's. Film of McG entering school to cheering, applauding crowd
and announcing his decision to great applause. Also on film, McG
saying parents and educators are not seeking and should not seek total
subsidies for all costs and only ask for a chance to provide this
education at personal cost they can afford. Valeriani noted this could
be major campaign issue for Catholic voters.
AP leads: McG moved to preempt a Nixon Admin. campaign ploy
by coming out for a tax credit for parents of pupils in Catholic and
private schools. McG ran immediately into opposition from the NEA
which said "such aid would be unconstitutional in view of recent court
decisions. 11 It urged McG to focus his energies on the fiscal crisis
in public school systems.
