"I always visualized the possibility of being killed in a campaign because I've been in many scrapes. But I never foresaw or thought about being a paraplegic. I always thought once I was shot, that would be the end of it But the end didn't come, only paralysis." HE ACKNOWLEDGES that he "might have wished the end had come" as he lay in an intensive care unit "when I was suffering so I could hardly stand it" But he adds, "I do not feel that I have a chip on my shoulder.

I am happy to be all ve. God was good to me to let me live. By air rights I should be dead." It is his paralysis that also caused him to abort a race for the U.S. Senate this year, a race he insists he that he is paralyzed from the waist down, the use of his legs lost when a would be assassin fired five bullets into his body in 1972. That was the "shooting," as he refers to it.

And it is the point that divides his life so completely. Before the assassination attempt he stood a chance of becoming president, he thinks. After that, there was no chance. THE EXPERIENCE has not, however, left Wallace bitter. "I don't feel bitter at all," he explains.

WHILE REFUSING to discuss his divorce or rumors that be plans to marry again, calling such matters "personal and does say he likes "to be alone at times, but I would rather be living with Insisting he lacks a "sense of history," Wallace nevertheless says he hopes history will view his career 'as having vindicated the South and "destroyed the myth that a Southerner could not seriously run for president" PSC to hear public BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBIA The South Carolina Public Service Commission has set aside 2:30 p.m. Friday for customers of Duke Power Co. to testify in the commission's current public hearing on the utility's 10.3 percent rate increase request.

Sterling Anderson, D-Spartanburg, said Wednesday that there had been "almost a blitz of media advertising hitting the Piedmont area of South Carolina." Anderson made his comments during the second week of a PSC hearing into Duke's request for a 10.3 percent, or $34.5 million, rate increase for its 300,000 customers in South Carolina.

Lee, Duke president, telling consumers that the utility is doing everything in its power to hold down costs while building plants to meet the electrical needs of future generations. Anderson said that some of his constituents have asked him, "Who are they trying to influence, us or the commission?" The lawmaker asked the commission to make' sure the costs for the new advertising campaign are borne by the utility's stockholders and not its rate payers. W.R. Stimart, Duke controller, confirmed Wednesday that the 3225,000 spent on the cam-. paign had been charged to an account which rate payers must ultimately cover.

The objections to a Sunday parade came from an Abbeville Baptist Association resolution which stated that a Sunday parade "would lead to conflict with regularly scheduled Sunday worship services and be detrimental to the general spiritual well-being of our community." The Jaycees responded today with a letter to the resolution committee of the Abbeville Baptist Association and signed by Jaycee President Dana Gravley. The letter said all other comments concerning the parade plans had been favorable until we received your resolution." "We see very little conflict with regularly scheduled Sunday worship service and we see no detriment to the general spiritual well-being of our community, as stated in your resolution," it reads in part. Ronald Hix, parade chairman, had predicted earlier that some churches might object to the Sunday date of the parade but the date was carefully considered before a decision was made. It was 'felt, he said, (hat a parade held on Sunday could be enjoyed by more people.

Court is considering rollback in postage BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON A federal appeals court is considering pleas from the greeting card industry and eight states for a rollback in the cost of a first class postage stamp. The U.S. Court of Appeals is scheduled to hear oral arguments today in cases filed by the National Association of Greeting Card Publishers and the eight states' attorneys general. The cases, along with several other challenges to various postal rates, have been consolidated for the arguments.

The greeting card industry group, whose customers use first class mail, have attacked the last three increases in first class postal rates. The group won the case against the 1974 rate increase from 8 cents to 10 cents. The appeals court agreed that the increase had not followed the dictates of the' 1970 law that established the Postal Service. But the decision had no effect because by the time the court issued its decision in 1976, the rate had gone up again to 13 cents. The greeting card publishers then filed suit against the increase to 13 cents, but lost that case just as they were filing a third suit attacking last May's increase to 15 cents.

The industry group wants the rate rolled back to 13 cents for private individuals while kept at 15 cents for first class letters for businesses.
