[Headline] Sympathy rejected

PHOTO. UPI photo by Joe Marquette: Two people in wheelchairs and a man with long blonde hair (Wade Blank?) sit in front of a desk. Behind the desk, which encircles him in a corner, sits a man with glasses in
shirtsleeves and a tie (Gov. Vanderhoof). Behind him are 3 large flags, and on the side of his desk another man squats doing something with equipment. The two people in wheelchairs have handwritten poster-signs on their backs; one [Carolyn Finnell?] reads "Support us in our freedom" with the wheelchair symbol drawn in the center, the other reads "The handicapped are people too! Support us [unreadable] Rally!!!" In the foreground is a rug with symbols of Colorado - a pick and a hammer crossed, three snow capped mountains, an eye in a triangle, and the motto NIL SINE NUMINE
[nothing without the power].

Caption reads: Gov. John Vanderhoof Thursday met with young handicapped patients from Heritage House nursing home who want higher Medicaid payments. He expressed sympathy but offered no concrete aid. “I thank God I'm not where you are," Vanderhoof said. Disappointed youths said they seek a "charismatic" leader, will look elsewhere.
