For McGovern, the challenge ahead was to unite a feuding, bickering party whose power brokers he defied and dislodged in the MIAMI BEACH (UPI) Gov. George C.

George McGovern passed the re quired number of 1509 delegate votes to win the Democratic nomination for president when Illinois cast Its convention votes. The senator from South Dakota went over the top when the Illinois delegation cast 119 votes for him.

(AP) Sen. George McGovern confronted angry demonstrators who invaded his hotel lobby and told them Wednesday night that he had not shifted his position on any of the issues including Vietnam. Responding to shouted ques-1 1 from the noisy crowd, McGovern told the demonstrators: "I'm here to hear what you have to say." HE CONCEDED there were bound to be some differences of opinion, but added: "I want to say Sen.

George McGovern his next goal: November Draft Kennedy Move Started drive that carried him to nomination. A united party is vital if McGovern is to stand a chance in his campaign to unseat President Nixon, whose renomination is assured when the Eepublicans convene in the same Miami Beach setting on August 21. But as the McGovern steamroller moved toward its target, Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace signaled the possibility of a third party race.

Ribicoff declared McGovern a winner, not only for himself but for the whole Democratic ticket, challenging an argument advanced by an opposition entry Sen. Henry M. Jackson of Washington that his nomination would drag down Democrats. But there was trouble on the Democratic right. The elders of organized labor made no secret of their dissatisfaction with the party's choice, although peacemaking efforts were under way Wednesday.

McGovern already had pledges of support from Sens. Edmund S. Muskie and Hubert H. Humphrey, the liberal candidates he overtook in the presidential primaries. When McGovern's campaign formally began, on January 19, 1971, Muskie was the towering favorite, McGovern was a political nobody whose name barely made the public opinion polls.

Patiently, almost unnoticed, McGovern built an organization buttressed by thousands of youthful volunteers, plus a new breed of political pros to work the primaries and the delegate-choosing caucuses. They used the party-reform lules their candidate helped write. McGovern won 10 of the 23 primaries, and built his delegate strength in the state conventions. Two big names that aren't on the list: Sen. Hubert H.

Humphrey of Minnesota and Sen. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine, who conceded the nomination to McGovern a day in advance. Wallace's campaign manager said he will decide soon after the convention is over whether to undertake another third party campaign. The Alabama governor, addressing the convention from his wheel chair, appealed in vain Tuesday night for a more conservative party stance and a repudiation of the busing of school children for purposes of racial balance.

How Ohio Voted MIAMI Ohio gave 77 of its 153 votes to George McGovern. McGovern picked up 8 votes pledged to former Cleveland Mayor Carl Stokes and 8 pledged to Hubert H. Humphrey. Cincinnati Councilman Theodore M. Berry voted for New York Con-gresswoman Shirley Chisholm.

Humphrey delegate John A. Blum, also of Cincinnati, voted for Sen. Henry Jackson. The remaining Ohio vote was split 23 Chisholm, 39 Jackson, 5 Congressman Wayne Hayes, 4 Humphrey, 3 Terry Sanford, 2 Edward Kennedy. ertheless, a McGovern delegate from Milwaukee was circulating the necessary petitions to put Kennedy's name in nomination.

"It's going very, very strongly," said State Rep. Harout Sansarian. "When you're in public lite," Sansarian said, "you become public property, so to speak. We'll dump it in his lap an then he'll have to make his decision." McGovern's campaign officials and Sansarian said the movement was independent a definitely not inspired by the South Dakota senator's organization. Several Wisconsin and Massachusetts delegates said Wednesday night they too plan to sign petitions to insure that Senate Kennedy is placed in nomination for vice Dresident.

The Washington Post MIAMI BEACH The reluctant senator from Massachusetts, Edward M. Kennedy, was still confronted Wednesday with the same question that has chased around him for weeks: Would he run for vice president? Sen. George McGovern, according to aides, was going to put that proposition before him in a telephone call late in the night, sometime after the Democratic National Convention nominates McGovern for President. Meanwhile, some delegates are not waiting for the answer, but are preparing a "draft Kennedy" nominating petition to place his name before the convention for vice president Thursday night even if he turns McGovern down. The young senator himself went boating Wednesday at Hyannisport, where he is spending a leisurely week away from the convention, but not away from its pressures.

The reporters camped nearby asked him about his Intentions and he repeated the disclaimers once again. "I THINK we've been answering that question all week," Kennedy said. "My position is unchanged."

The meeting climaxed a six-hour, 15-m i demonstration during which the protesters blockaded stairways and elevators. Another group of about 800 demonstrators converged on Convention Hall and set up a "Poor People's Dike," made of sandbags, on the lawn.

The senator promised that "every American soldier, every American prisoner, every American now involved in the war in Southeast Asia" would be withdrawn, "every bomber will quit flying" and all aid to South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu will cease. The demonstrators questioned McGovern about remarks he made that indicated he would keep troops in Thailand and naval forces in the Gulf of Tonkin, McGovern said Tuesday he would keep such forces in Southeast Asia on what aides said was "an inactive basis" until the North Vietnamese release U. S. prisoners of war.

Speaking just hours before he was to be nominated as the party's presidential nominee, the South Dakota senator sought to reassure the demonstrators on the key issue of Vietnam. "I don't have any doubt that within 90 days of my inauguration every American troop and every American soldier will be home, and that's the pledge I make," McGovern said.

Vice President Agnew will preside, assisted by Frank Carluccl aeputy director of the Office of Management and Buget and a native of flood-stricken Wilkes-Barre, Fa. The meeting, Mr. Nixon said, is intended to speed up relief efforts, explain the new proposals, and im-prove federal-local communications.

Some state and local officials had complained soon after the flooding that federal assistance was slowed by red tape. Mr. Nixon then ordered federal agencies to speed up disaster relief, sent Agnew on an inspection tour of the flood-damaged states and asked Congress for an emergency $100 million in relief funds. The President himself also visited Pennsylvania and said the destruction and loss he found "were almost overpowering." He said the progress in recovery efforts to date has been impressive, but added, "the challenge we face is not an easy one."

He gave up when he saw he could not prevent Spassky moving his only surviving pawn to Fischer's side of the board, thus turning it into a queen, the most powerful piece in game.

Fischer stood up, made a helpless gesture to the audience and walked off. The second game was scheduled for today at 1 p. m. (EDT.) Judge a Schmid said Fischer was "very angry and upset backstage" when he left the playing board to protest the closed circuit cameras that televised the moves to the audience in the hall. "I TOLD HIM it's allowed in the rules to have these cameras." Schmid said, "but then he said he had not signed any rules.

I know this story is not finished yet. We will hear more about these cameras from Fischer." Fred Cramer, one of Fischer's seconds, said, "Bobby was naturally very disappointed, but he is a pro and I believe he will be able to come back if we can just get the practical conditions sorted out. "Nobody likes to lose a chess game Fischer least of all," Cramer said. "But he has got the strength to overcome an initial disappointment." Play in the first game was interrupted when Fischer walked out after three moves to protest the television cameras. Match organizers then covered the cameras with a cloth, but Fischer said they still bothered him.

SPASSKY, wearing a slate jacket and beige trousers, made the first move Wednesday, taking one of Fischer's remaining pawns. Fischer then took a pawn from Spassky with his king. After 40 moves and 4'2 hours of play Tuesday, Spassky held the advantage with a bishop and three pawns against Fischer's five pawns. Play was halted when Spassky, 35, asked for an adjournment and Fischer agreed. Experts agreed that only the Russian master could win the first game.

They said the best Fischer could hope for was a draw. The match may go for 24 games. Spassky as champion must get 12 points to win. Fischer as challenger must get 12-V2. Each SAN CLEMENTE, Calif.

(AP) President Nixon announced Wednesday he will ask Congress to vote $1.7 billion in disaster relief funds and authorize 1 interest loans for homeowners and businessmen in Eastern states recovering from Tropical Storm Agnes flood damage. Mr. Nixon described the recent flooding as the "worst natural disaster in the whole of American history" and said "our response as a nation also must be massive." The special request for $1.7 billion if approved by Congress, would be the "largest single amount ever allocated for a recovery effort," Mr. Nixon said, and would be used for every aspect of long- and short-term assistance. The heavy rains left by the dying hurricane last month in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Florida, and New York took more than 100 lives and destroyed or damaged 128,000 homes and businesses, the President said.

"We must not permit the nightmare of destruction which has wrecked so many of their homes and places of business to be followed by the equally grim specter of bankruptcy or ruin," Mr. Nixon said in disclosing he would seek legislation authorizing the special.
