Vice president Mondale for Carter but also working for himself by Steven r. Weisman new York times Ince the presidential Campaign began last september he has visited 36 Stales travelled 123,000 Miles Given 210 speeches attended 150 receptions and meetings and held More than 225 news conferences interviews and editorial sessions All on behalf of president  the end of Campaign speeches he tells voters that if they do what know you re going to do re nominate Jimmy Carter jus to show you How much we appreciate what you be done for him your party and your coun try we re going to give you a gift we re going to throw Walter f. Mondale in free no charge with this sort of exuberance. Vice president Mondale has toiled this year for Carter while making Clear that he is also working for himself. As to Atkian who once counted a serf among the Basi of open hearted liberals in the is. Senate � done any and Friend of sen. Edward m. Kennedy of  Mondale Tab year found Tea Leif to kiss up Carter s line of fiscal restraint and " i preparedness. He has played a key political Rote helping to sell car Ter i policies to disenchanted colleagues and to push for Liberal approaches within the White House and in the process he has achieved greater influence within the administration than perhaps any vice president in recent Carter has proclaimed Mondale his full partner in Many policy areas and so have More Neutral observers. It was Mondale who worked with Douglas a. Traser. President of the United automobile workers to fashion a package to save Chrysler corp. And Aid the automobile 10 it was Mondale who advised Carter last Spring to oppose a budget Compromise worked out in Congress Tea would contain Sharp increases in military Sper,3ing. In addition he became the first member of the Carter administration to Call for a Boycott of the olympic games in Moscow this summer. Finally it was Mondale who received the Early complaints from the israeli ambassador Ephraim Evron about the american vote at the United nations last March that criticized israeli settlement policies. Mon Dale arranged for Evron to meet with Carter and carte ended up repudiating the vote. Many ironies have resulted from Mondale s  least of them is the fact that in 1976, when he was a senator from Minnesota he withdrew As a presidential candidate because he said he did not have the Over whelming desire to be president which is essential for the kind of Campaign that is  More recently u Mondale was Selong the Carter administration to disaffected Democrat the presi Dent s Tumble in Publ opinion Poi continued and some democratic Leaden suggested mood As a alternative for the nomination. Indeed a recent new York times lbs news poll found that Mondale would receive substantially More support than Carter in a race against Ronald Reagan. I think if the Carter ship goes Down Mondale May survive rep. Morris k. Wall d-ariz., said last year. He s a figure around whom people could rally. You could have it both ways not turn your Back on the Carier Mondale administration. But Here s a Guy in Good with labor Blacks  Mondale s role in the administration includes unlimited Access to every official document sent to the presi Dent s desk. And with the president s wife Rosalyn. The vice president is the Only member of the whip House inner Circle who lunches a Roe every week with Carter. He also attends Carter s weekly breakfast with foreign policy advisers and his weekly meetings with adm. Stansfield Turner director of Central intelligence As Well As Cabinet and other staff meetings. Early in the administration Mondale was Given the special assign ment of relations with Africa. Since then he has Broad ened his function to include other areas of the Globe. In was also Mondale who headed an inter Agency task Force that came up with Carter s $2 billion youth employment initiative which the president describes As his no. 1 Domestic program this year. In his first couple of years As vice president Mondale retained his warm relations with liberals in the demo cratic party including Kennedy. Mondale had after All been one of their number in his 12-year career in the Senate where be was a protege of his fellow minnesotan Hubert h. Humphrey. Strains developed with Kennedy however As Moodle hewed to Carter s Effort to fight inflation by balancing the Federal budget and cutting certain Domestic programs. Among other thin this meant deferring Kennedy s proposal for compre Bessire National health insurance. His critics said that Mondale was trimming his Liberal sails in order to remain Loyal to the White House and Advance his own career much As Humphrey had muffled his criticism of the Vietnam War under president Lyn Don b. Johnson. The criticism angers Mondale who now counts him self among those liberals who came of age in the 1960s but now find that there is no longer a Cornucopia of resources to pay for social programs. Each democratic administration at its peril must look at problems As they really Are Mondale exhorted a political group this year. And fellow democrats it is the unhappy but certain and obvious fact that the demo cratic party must face up to the problem of inflation. If we Don to we will be driven out of Public office he added just As our predecessors were for failing to stand up to the problem of the Vietnam War. We be got to Deal with  the anti inflation Battle was a key theme that Mon Dale carried to potential Kennedy supporters this year but it was not until foreign policy issues surfaced that the relations Between Kennedy and Mondale broke into open recriminations. After saying for months that Kennedy had no ration ale for his candidacy supposedly because the senator had supported so Many administration programs in the previous three years Mondale accused Kennedy in Janu Ary of playing the politics of the moment by opposing the restriction on Grain exports to the soviet Union. Mondale never talks about the advice he gives to the president on the other hand he does not deny that he has had Bis share of disagreements with Carter too. I think the fact that there Are differences within the administration is not a sign of weakness Bat � sign of strength mandate has said. The administration that tries to Teo you that everything is Street Ness and Light and that there Are to differences and no debates is trying to defraud Tat american peo  after the election in 1976, when Mondale wanted advice about How to survive in the Job of vice president he turned to Humphrey and to Nelson a. Rockefeller. Both told him that there was Only one important key to Success in the Job retaining a Strong personal relation ship with the president. Perhaps surprisingly it has apparently not been hard for Mondale to do just that. Both he a Limmy Carter grew up in Small town Rural America in religious surroundings. Both love to Hunt fish and play Tennis and to read books about government and politics. Both have a wry sense of humor although Mondale with his easy going disposition is More often unable to resist a joke.
