Five thousand supporters of Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy (D-Minn.) turned out for a rally in Woburn last night. The rally's organizers had expected 700 to come. They made arrangements for 2500 to hear the Senator but turned away an equal number.
McCarthy told the crowd that Americans should "use reason and knowledge to give some direction to history." He was repeatedly interrupted by cheers. At a press conference, McCarthy said he had expected Sen. Robert F. Kennedy '48 (D-N.Y.) to run for President, but he was "surprised" at the timing of Kennedy's announcement.
