How to Watch A
_ .. _
President Grow
\JOHNJ. SYNO
■ *
There are a number of ways to
determine the progress George
Wallace is making in his bid for
the presidency. One way, of
course, is by watching the polls;
slowly these kept-sters are let
ting tiie truth seep out of their
bag.
But the way I like best to
observe Wallace’s climb is a
perverse sort of Choice. I prefer
to watch the squirmings of the
liberals, love to hear their ris
ing yelps, and to read the some
times-absurd formulate they
concoct to “stop" him.
That’s what I like, and the more
bitter, the more caustic they be
come the better I Idee it.
Here is a new high, one that
approaches the falsetto: Dr.
Gary Orfield, a professor at the
University of Virginia, no less,
proposes that the Republicans
and Democrats make a deal, one
with the other, join hands, to
preclude Wallace from having
any chance at winning the elec
tion.
Now you know that’s some
thing, right? Harhish stuff. And
to make it more enjoyable my
local paper says the professor’s
proposal is making quite a stir
in Washington. No doubt. Any
port in a storm.
Specifically, this “pseudo-in
tellectual” wants the Republi
cans and democrats to agree to
pool their Electoral-College votes
and thus produce for one or
the other the majority Qeorge
Wallace is sure to deny both of
them if they don’t.

Little the professor cares if his
plan would disenfranchise 20
million voters — it would stop
Wallace, and that is all that mat
ters to the eggheads; a fig for
democractic principles if they
don’t work your way. Right, pro
fessor?
They are titillating, these
screwball proposals. I enjoy
them immensely.
I should. Read a line from a
reporter-spy I have in Washing
ton: “The inside rif from HHH
camp is that Wallace may win.”
You bet he may. That’s what
I have been saying.
Why else would they be lis
tening, to the likes of this pro
fessorial pin-wheel. His propos
al is like asking the Jews and
i the A-rabs to lock arms instead

The inherent ignorance of the
man — and it is typical — & ap
parent in his by-passing the
fierce competition the pros of
both parties feel for the jobs
they covet, the jobs, the patron
age and the cumshaw. What
else is apparent in his proposal
is the truth of George Wallace’s
oft-repeated statement: “There
isn’t a dime’s worth of differ
ence between either national
party.”
That’s what the professor
knows, that it would make no
difference whichever of those
two won. How else could he
justify such a proposal? What
he doesn’t appreciate is the will
ingness of both, if victory hung
in the balance, to slit the other’s
throat; that neither would trust
the pledge of the other.

proach, that of following the
poll-cats.
