Though George Wallace has remained out of sight since his November trouncing, his brand of right-wing evangelism is still very much on the minds of his followers. The Association of Wallace Voters met recently in Dallas and it vowed to have a slate of third-party candidates by 1970 to run for state and national posts. In Louisville last week, 176 delegates -- some members of such groups as the John Birch Society and the Liberty Lobby -- gathered to form yet another conservative party. Wallace, who did not even bother to answer an invitation to address the convention, was described by one speaker as "too liberal" because during his presidential campaign he had endorsed larger social security payments and 100% parity for farmers.

The meeting was called by William K. Shearer, 38, a mustachioed, self -described political consultant who headed Wallace's California campaign until they had a falling-out. When the two-day convention broke up, the party treasurer had managed to squeeze out only $75 in contributions. Exclaimed Shearer: "We are on the way to saving America." But about all that was accomplished, in fact, was to elect officers and give the party a title. There may be trouble getting it onto a campaign button. The name: The National Committee of Autonomous State Parties known as the American Independent Party, the American Party, the Independent Party, the Conservative Party, the Constitution Party, the Courage Party and such other political parties as desire to affiliate with this national committee. Or simply the N.C.A.S.P.A.I.P.A.P.I.P.C.P.C.P.C.P.
