One McGovern aide said that everytime McGovern's "issue men" meet to brief Shriver, they keep getting interrupted by phone calls and demands that Shriver make an appearance.

With a new running-mate finally selected and approved, the Democratic presidential candidate planned a hectic two-day swing to Manchester, N.H., Hartford, Providence, R.I., and New York City. The first stop is the J.F. McElwain Co. shoe factory in Manchester, a largely symbolic appearance for McGovern.

He says it was his appearance there last Feb. 18 during the New Hampshire primary campaign that he first fully appreciated his appeal to blue-collar workers. "That's the place where it became apparent to me that these factory workers were sympathetic," McGovern said in Washington Wednesday. "I've always seen that as the turning-point in the campaign." But on this trip, he said, "instead of making a speech to them I'm going back to listen-to ask them what they think the next president of the United and Democratic governors.

I I Park Fro At Richardson's 8 News Herald, Port Clinton, Ohio Thursday, August 10, 1972 Agnes gone, not forgotten By LOUISE COOK Associated Press Writer The floodwaters of Tropical Storm Agnes are long gone, but the signs of devestation remain in the thousands of people still homeless, the hundreds of roads still impassable and the acres of cropland still barren. An Associated Press survey of the area flooded by Agnes from June 16 to June 23 showed massive clean-up efforts have provided at least the basic necessities of life for the more than 500,000 persons in in the East who suffered from the storm. The hardest work still lies ahead, however. The Department of Housing and Urban Development has ordered 9,250 mobile homes at a cost of about $50 million for the Wilkes Barre, region, for example. But only three of 29 newly designated trailer areas are complete.

The Small Business Administration approved 714 loans total-ting about $2.2 million for damaged homes and businesses in West Virginia. But it expects the final figure to reach $5 million for 1,600 loans. The Office of Emergency Preparedness said Wednesday that Agnes caused 118 deaths and more than $3 billion in property damage. It said 5,000 square miles of land were inundated by 28.1 trillion gallons of water that fell and flooded communities along 4,500 miles of major rivers and 9,000 miles of streams and tributaries. OEP Director George Lincoln said that more than $2.2 billion in federal and private relief will be available to help rebuild.

He said the expenditures represented "by far the largest federal outlay ever to assist states, counties and cities to spring back into firstclass shape." But the statistics don't tell the whole story. They don't tell about the hard crab industry in Maryland where crabbers are catching more shellfish than ever, but can't sell them because of health department reports that raw sewage was washed into Chesapeake Bay by the storm. They don't tell about the Lemmerman Farm Market in Wyckoff, N.J., which, for the first time in 33 years of operation, ran out of corn by 11 a.m. on Sundav momma" because floods had ruined the crops. And they don't tell about the Branchi family of Kingston, Pa.

Water filled the first floor of their house, warping every door and window and wiping out all the furnishings. In most areas, the most critical problems are finding housing for the homeless and repairing damaged streets and other city facilities. In Virginia, where 12 persons died and one is missing, Agnes caused damage totalling $167,491,300 in 59 of the state's 96 counties. "As far as we can determine, it was the state's worst flooding in terms of destruction, cost and water level just about everything," said James Bradley of the Office of Civil Defense. Ninety-six houses were destroyed; 1,346 suffered major damage; and 4,638 suffered minor damage.

The total bill: almost $29 million. Six hundred miles of interstate, primary and secondary roads and 130 bridges were destroyed or damaged. The total bill: $13 million. In New York State, where 24 counties were flooded, private property losses are estimated at more than $400 million, public property losses at $221 million and agricultural losses at $84 million. The Small Business Administration said that 19,122 homes and 1,723 businesses were destroyed or damaged in the seven hardest-hit counties.

In Ellicott City, some entrepreneurs are giving tours of flood areas at 50 cents a head with profits going to storm victims. The tour includes hollow stores on West Main Street, condemned businesses and a walk through one building with holes in the floor. End war demand heads for House WASHINGTON (AP)- A rider ordering U.S. forces out of the Indochina war this year headed for a House vote today with some leaders saying it could carry a military foreign-aid bill to defeat. Leaders on both sides of the war issue predicted the mandate to pull U.S.

forces out of Indochina in return for release of American prisoners and a limited cease-fire would be narrowly rejected. Some, including Speaker Carl Albert and Republican Leader Gerald R. Ford, said a military foreign-aid bill could be voted down if the war-pullout mandate stays in it. Albert said he feared the bill could be rejected regardless. But House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Thomas E.

Morgan, said: "They'd better take this one if they want any foreign-aid bill. This is the swan song as far as I am concerned." The Senate already has rejected President Nixon's foreign military-aid requests. Morgan indicated that if the House did 1 the same, foreign aid would not be dead but would be continued on an interim basis. The war-pullout directive originally carried a deadline of Oct. 1 before House antiwar forces changed it to Dec.

31 to carry it past the November elections and give Nixon a longer period to withdraw the troops. The directive would order all U.S. military forces in or over Indochina withdrawn so long as American prisoners were re ALSO supporting actress I -WIRE LEACHMAN THE i LAST i nearly 3 million tons of livestock feed grain to the Soviet Union last year, the first U.S. grain sale to that country in nearly a decade.

lrJ BEST PICTURE mm mm WASHINGTON APi The Agriculture Department says the Soviet Union may buy between 250 million and 400 million bushels of U.S. wheal, as much as one-fourth of this year's crop. Officials say a number of private companies are involved in transactions. including one whose Soviet sales operations are headed by a former U.S. assistant secretary of agriculture Wheat market prices in the Midwest have risen sharply in recent days, reflecting rumors that a massive sale to Moscow is imminent.

In Kansas City the price has climbed from $1.57 per bushel to $1.84. If the big sale materializes, a 400-million-bushel transaction and some sources say it could be i even more would be equal to nearly half the present U.S. wheat surplus and a fourth of the 1972 crop, estimated at less than 1.6 billion bushels. Asst. Agriculture Secretary Carroll G.

Brunthaver said Wednesday in an interview that there has been tremendous demand for wheat in the market, presumably by private companies seeking grain for the Soviets. "We keep hearing eight to 10 million tons," about 296 million to 375 million bushels, Brunthaver said. "That's entirely possible. Whether it's more than that. I don't know." One of the export firms involved is Continental Grain New York, which recently hired former Asst.

Secretary Clarence D. Palmby, Brunthaver's predecessor, to head up its export-sales operations for the Soviet market.

Jim Bryant, director of public information for Amtrak. said Wednesday the Cincinnati service from Washington, D.C.

-Newport News, through Cincinnati to Chicago has lost $2 million since Am-trak's inception May 1. 1971 and would be most vulnerable to being eliminated next year if any services are dropped. From May 1. 1971. through Dec.

31, 1971. the service has lost $1.2 million and another $800,000 from Jan. 1 to April 30 this year. Amtrak is the National Railroad Passenger a government industry combine organized last year to run the nation's passenger trains. bThe network consists of 216 trains a day on 26 basic routes throughout the country.

The Cincinnati service is the "weakest train in the entire system," Bryant said, and he said two factors were primarily responsible It has cost Amtrak $600,000 to maintain Cincinnati's Union Terminal. He pointed out construction will begin shortly on a smaller Cincinnati station which, when finished, will be much less expensive to maintain. Poor trackage through Indiana forces trains to slow to 40 miles per hour and slower between Cincinnati and Chicago, causing problems with travel time for passengers. Penn Central, which owns the tracks, has no money to improve them, said Bryant.
