TUESDAY, APRIL .30, 1968 Popt : Mareft.A. - Chipfs' ~ ..::o.._6l,oiiiid'Aid Program WASHINGTON (AP)—S ingi n g, marching arm in arm and delivering polite ultimatums as they went, the vanguard of lobbyists for the Poor Peo ple's Campaign called on top govern ment officials yesterday to air their grievances. "We gave Secretary Freeman our list of demands," said the Rev. Ralph Abernathy, after the delegation was re ceived by Secretary of Agriculture Or ville L. Freeman. "We will be back in 10 days to this department," said Abernathy, who was thrust into the role of campaign leader by the slaying of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Week's Plans The conference with Freeman was first stop , for the advance group.

Nothing firm has been said about housing for this army of poor people, but the campaign leaders know which ner ves to tweak in Washington.

(AP)— Sen. Hobert F. Kennedy and Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy are mounting the most intensive po litical blitz Indiana has ever seen. On the surface, the target is the May 7 presidential primary and the first-ballot vote of Indi ana's 63 delegates to the Demo cratic Nation Convention. B.it beneath the surface, the Indiana primary stacks up as :the "West Virginia of 1968." It was in West Virginia in 1960 that Sen. John F. Kennedy proved a Roman Catholic could win Protestant votes and shred ded the hopes of e chief rival for the nomination, • then Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey. Proving Ground Indiana in 1968 is a proving ground. For Kennedy, his first primary, which he must prove he can attract votes. For Mc- Carthy, the first test against late-comer Kennedy, and the answer to whether he can keep the momentum of victories in New Hampshire.and Wisconsin. But a lame duck governor, Roger D. Branigin, is making it a three-way race, and he may turn the showdown into a standoff. Brenigin, who started as a stand-in for President Johnson and then became a favorite son candidate when Johnson with drew, is running with the con siderable muscle of the state's Democratic party organization solidly behind him.

Yesterday, the advance, part was running hours ,behind schedule almost from the start—but too high-spirited to care. "It's going beautifully," said Mar ian Wright of Mississippi, an attorney for the Legal Defense Fund of the Na tional Association for the Advancement of Colored People. On Capitol Hill, some members of Congress were 'annoyed .at the cam paign. The march that has been planned will not bring 'the improvements that are being sought—whatever those im provements are," said Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W. Va. In the House, Rep. C. C. Fisher, D-Tex., described the campaign as "in timidation by invading hordes." He called for repudiation of "this mon strous method of petitioning Congress." Conservative Approach The opening round of talks indi cated that precampaign publicity—say ing the objectives are simply jobs-and income legislation—was too conserva tive. In their views 'for the State De partment, for instance, the delegation denounced U.S. diplomatic and'business ties with Portugal and South Africa.

Party muscle behind Brani gin includes many Democrats who helped make the Indiana primary a shoo-in for John F. Kennedy in •1960. There's a Republican presi dential primary, too. Richard M.‘ Nixon is the only candidate. And, with write-in votes for-' bidden, he hasn't bothered to appear in Indiana since Feb rtiary. •Even though Indiana law pro hibits cross-over voting, the en.: forcement rests in the chal lenge at the polls. Important Primaiy One district 7 chairman, a Branigin backer, put it this way: "Branigin is a former corporation attorney and self-' made millionaire, and he's in a good position to attract cross over Republicans." Fresh from his Wisconsin triumph, McCarthy told an au dience in SOuth Bend: "I think that after Indiana there will be only one candidate " Kennedy told a crowd at In dianapolis, "If we can win in Indiana, we can win in all the other states." " Since then, with the regular Democrats closing ranks behind 'Going Beautifully' Branigin, both have softened their assessments of the im portance of victory in the In diana primary. McCarthy, viewing the weak nesses he showed among the minority groups in the Wis consin primary, has been fly ing , into South Bend for work among the Polish groups and has been walking through the Negro neighborhoods of In dianapolis.
