George S.

McGovern told Labor Day audiences today that he will "add two more names to the unemployment rolls in November-Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew." In a speech prepared for rallies in Barberton and Chippewa Lake, Ohio, and Oakland, the Democratic presidential nominee described his party as the friend of the working man despite the hostility of AFL-CIO President George Meany. 'The President says inflation is under control," McGovern said. "I say let him try to feed his family for a week on an average paycheck. "Whenever you shop at the local grocery store, you find out that Richard Nixon cost more," he said. "The Nixon inflation is ground into every pound of hamburger you buy." Turning to unemployment he said: "We, are end the long involuntary holiday of five million workers who have been unemployed under Richard Nixon."

He flew to Ohio from Hilton Head, S.C., where he dined at the plush Plantation Club with southern governors and tried to convince them that he is not a radical. McGovern picked up a lukewarm endorsement from the host governor, Democrat John C. West of South' Carolina.

West said in a statement: "I shall vote for the Democratic ticket in November," but he added he would not attempt to influence other South Carolinians and he recommended "that each voter study the issues and the candidates and-piake his decision according to the dictate of his own conscience."

(UPI)-In a political bid for the blue collar vote, President Nixon marked Labor Day today" with a scathing attack on "master planners" who advocate the "welfare ethic" income "redistribution," hiring quotas and busing to achieve racial balance in the schools. While not mentioning Democratic foe George McGovern by name, the target of his denunciation "was clear.

"We are faced this year with the choice between the 'work ethic' that built this nation's the new 'welfare ethic' that could cause the American character to weaken," he" said. Urging workers to go to the polls in record numbers, Nixon asserted the traditional American values "have come under challenge" by his opponents. and distributed Sunday.

He said that those who believe in the "welfare ethic" are seeking "something for nothing" without striving and sacrifice, while those who advocate the "work realize "willingness to work makes a person a better human being." Nixon was particularly harsh on the busing issue, saying "well intehtioned people, who believe paternal government in power in a central government believe they know what is best for the welfare of every locality.

They fail to see how their zeal sets back the cause of good race relations, of orderly desegregation and of quality education. "Our children are America's most priceless national asset," said Nixon. "We must not allow them to be used' as pawns in the hands of social planners in Washington, many of whom basically believe that children should be raised by the government rather than by their parents." "The believers in the welfare ethic think it is unfair for some people to have much more income than others," he said. 'They say we should begin right away to redistribute income, sothat we. can reduce the number of poor and bring about the day when everybody has much closer to the same income," he added.

"I believe thaj a policy of income redistribution would result in many more Americans becoming poor, because it ignores a human value essential to every worker's success- the incentive of reward."
