Wallace, former governor Of Ala-' W bam a, la estimated to have taken three out of each four votes he received from Richard M. Nixon in last November’s presidential election. Nixon just squeaked by to win the White House and become the first minority President in modem times. Georg* Wallace Win he nw again t uiven tne apparent popularity of the so called “white back-lash” voters, as shown in the voting in Los Angeles, Minneapolis, and New York City, it is highly likely that Wad lace can do better in 1972 than he did in 1968. What this means is that the so-called "con servative” vote in the United States could go even more heavily in proportion to Wallace in 1972 than it did in 1968. There is a ques tion in the minds of some whether Wallace will make another run for the White House but, to sophisticated observers, it is an easy “yes” answer. Wallace, these "political ex perts" are convinced, will run again in 1972. Without Wallace in the race; it could be a foregone conclusion that Nixon would be re elected to the presidency for a second term. It is apparent that the old. or Roosevelt stvle liberal, has lost a lot of his appeal at the ballot box. Yet, with the conservative vote split by two. such types on the presidential ; ticket, even Hubert Humphrey, certainly an old style liberal, was gaining fast by election day last year, and there are many po litical observers who believe that, if he had had another week to campaign, he’d have won all the marbles. It should be apparent that, whoever runs for president on th’e .Democratic ticket in 1972, he will not be saddled initially with jthe multiplicity of public relations and other drawbacks that ,beset Humphrey from Chicago on. In fact, before that debacle -occurred, his popularity was questioned by anti-Johnson Demo 'crats who believed he was nothing more than a front-man for :the Texan. J • • • » ■ • NEW HIDE-AW AY!—President Nixon apparently has found a retreat that won’t take him hours to reach, but that still af fords him the kind of privacy he likes to work in. • The hide-away is an office in the White House Executive Office Building across the street from President his regular offices. He explained to reporters the iother day that he felt "out of the line of fire” Rn^* New jwhen he was there, much as he does at Camp Hide-away David. : Uke the latter place in the Catoctin Mountains of Maryland, Swhen he is in his hide-away office, people somehow don’t feel as free to barge in and talk as they do in his oval office in the White iHouse itself.
