The federation official also said that even if a decision were made to endorse McGovern, the endorsement might be only "pro forma" while the energies of the AFL-CIO would be devoted to the congressional laces. I 5, (c) New York Times Service WASHINGTON Some officials of the AFL-CIO are warning that the labor federation may remain neutral in a presidential race between Sen. George McGovern and President Nixon. The report of the warning came from a highly placed official at the iederation's headquarters here and was confirmed by other union leaders.

The official said that no decision on whether to endorse McGovern had yet been made and that none was likely before August 30, when a meeting of union presidents is scheduled. There was some question posed by labor officials outside federation headquarters on whether the threat of possible neutrality was long-range that is, a serious consideration of standing aside in a Nixon-McGovern presidential contest or a short-term maneuver designed to prevent the senator's nomination by next week's Democratic convention. 'V A third possibility raised by union leaders was that the threat was meant as a lever to win concessions from McGovern if he wins the nomination. The official at the labor federation's headquarters said that the federation was "seriously weighing" sitting out a McQovern-Nixon race and concentrating all the money and influence on its political arm, the Committee on Political Education (COPE) in helping pro-labor congressional candidates uuring the forthcoming campaign. COPE officials reportedly are circulating among the officers of AFL-CIO member unions a list of influential union presidents who have declared that they will not support McGovern if he is nominated.

The list was not made available by any cf the union officials who had received it. One official said that he would not make the names public because it had not been confirmed that the union presidents named had in fact said they would refuse to endorse Senator McGovern. The labor federation officials cite long list of grievances against McGovern, ranging from his vote against a measure aimed at eliminating state "right-to-work laws" to his criticism of George Meany, the president of the AFL-CIO, for supporting the Vietnam War. The highly placed official conceded that the federation has been committed to the defeat of Mr. Nixon in November but added that the nomination of McOovern Waving Their Patriotic Sentiments TOURISTS UNFURL small American flags in the to them by promoters of a fashion show held on breeze as they ride a ferry across New York harbor the craft, to visit the Statue of Liberty.

A Global Invitation ixon To Open Door For World Stenc SOUTH OF QUANG TRI, Vietnam (UPI) The two American Army officers spent July 4 in the ruins of a small Vietnamese farm house on Highway 1 south of Quang Trl city. Capt. Gail W. Furrow nodded toward the shattered convoy along the highway nearby and said: "I've been smelling that stink for five days.

It makes me so sick I can't eat. But I guess it doesn't make any difference. All we've got to eat is rice." Furrow, 32, Urbana, Ohio, is an adviser to a battalion of South Vietnamese paratroopers spearheading the drive to the provincial capital seized by the North Vietnamese more than two months ago. His companion, Maj. Michael D.

Haynes, 35, Columbus, a black native of Barbados, said, "Hey, man, it's the Fourth of July." The two U. S. advisers sat on the top of a makeshift bunker outside their battalion command post in the ruins of the small Vietnamese farm house about three miles from Quang Tri. DISCUSSION OF July 4 was halted when a forward air control (FAC) plane mistakenly shot a smoke rocket onto one of the platoons of the two battalions advised by Furrow and Haynes. The brisk west wind wafted into the scent of dead bodies and Furrow said, "There it is again." The Allies Wary In Spile Of Advances SAIGON (UPI) Small South Vietnamese troop units moved almost unopposed Into strategic positions in Quang Trl City and Its suburbs Tuesday, but American advisers said they still expected "a hell of a fight" from the 48,000 Communist troops believed to be in the area.

Allied officers were also worried about a possible Communist attack against Hue, 32 miles south of Quang Tri City. The former imperial capital, long expected to be the target of a major Communist drive, has been shelled for three consecutive days. More than 20,000 of Hue's 30,000 defenders were thrown Into the week-old South Vietnamese drive into Quang Trl province, which has been held by the Communists for more than two months. South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thleu promised last month to drive the Communists out of Quang Trl and back Into North Vietnam. The current Communist offensive began March 30 when North Vietnamese troops moved across the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ into Quang Trl.

The Communists routed government forces in Quang Trl City on May 1 and took control of the province the first ever captured from the South Vietnamese. A 1000-MAN South Vietnamese paratroop unit moved Tuesday Into Mai Linn, a suburb only one-half mile from downtown Quang Tri. Soon afterwards, a 30-man reconnaissance patrol was flown into the walled 19th century citadel In the center of the city and a nearby marketplace.

Despite Communist artillery attacks on the government columnn moving up Highway 1 to Quang Trl City, there was no organized resistance around the city itself. Allied officers were puzzled by the lack of opposition and said they did not know what happened to the 48,000 North Vietnamese troops that captured the province. Some American advisers said they still thought the Communists would fight. "We expect to have to fight our way all the way in," one American adviser told a UPI correspondent who is accompanying the drive.

The bicentennial era officially opened a year ago and will last through July 4, 1976.

Congress established the American Revolution Bicentennial Commission in 1966 to "plan, encourage, develop and coordinate" the celebrations and programs. The President made no mention of the controversies surrounding the work of the commission, except to say that he has taken steps to expand its membership to make it more broadly representative of all the American people." The commission's "excellent Suspects Child, 4 window, but I couldn't see very good because I didn't have my glasses on," said the girls' stepfather, Leland Woods, 61. "But a neighbor told me she saw this man stick his arm and gun out the window and shoot my little girl. I ran outside and wiped the blood off her forehead. I knew she was dying." Charlene Brlcker, a neighbor whose daughter was playing with Joyce, said, "I thought it was a firecracker." "BUT JOYCE GRABBED her forehead with both her hands, and she was crying and yelling.

My husband ran out and lifted her face up then all we seen was blood." Hit by "more than 40 shotgun pellets, two of which lodged in her brain, Joyce died about 90 minutes later at a hospital. Wirepholo Little Girl Oscar Hernandez. On Police Arrest Three In 'Joy Killing' Of (c) The Washington Post SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. President Nixon said Tuesday he will issue an "unprecedented invitation" to people around the world to visit the United States during its bicentennial celebrations. The President made his announcement in a Fourth of July radio address to the nation from his office here.

"This is the time to open our hearts and our homes and our com-munitdes to those who come to America for the first time," the President said. "This is the time not only for reaching outward but for reaching inward, for discovering and appreciating parts of our own land and people and heritage which we may not have known before." In the near future, Mr. Nixon THE THREE IN custody were identified as Donald Paul Antel, 21; Michael Ramirez, 18, and Oscar Hernandez, 22. They were arrested without resistancedeputies said. Ramirez and Antel were arrested at Antel's home and Hernandez was arrested at his home a short time later, deputies said.

Authorities said a 1966 yellow car found at Hernandez's home matched the description of the vehicle used in the slaying. They did not say whether a weapon had been found or reveal what evidence led to the arrests. A light-colored car carrying three or four young men slowed to a near stop a few feet away from where Joyce was playing, a man in the rear seat stuck a gun out the window, fired once, and then the car sped away, witnesses said. "I saw the car go by from the Nations, like individuals, can better work together "if people on both sides can learn to respect one another as fellow human beings," he emphasized.

Nixon have given their house here "La Casa Pacifica," the House of Peace, and that America would be known throughout the world as the "Land of the Open Door." Chess Match Belayed By Hot Spasshy REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) Russian chess champion Boris Kpassky, charging he and the Soviet Union had been insulted by American challenger Bobby Fischer, stalked out of a meeting Tuesday, demanding Fischer's "punishment" and forcing another postponement until Thursday of their world championship match. It was the second postponement of the 21-game scries which originally was scheduled to start Sunday. It was first postponed until Tuesday while Fischer demanded more money. The second postponement came after Kpassky said Fischer had insulted him by not showing up in time for play to begin Sunday. "By this, Fischer insulted me personally and the chess federation of the USSR which I represent," Spa.ssky, 35, said.

He said he would not play until the International Chess Federation punished Fischer. Spassky left the door open, however, for the match to be played. "I still want to play the match if there is a solution. I will not play today. I will make my decision in the next few days," he said.

Chess Federation President Max Euwe did not share Spassky's confidence. Representatives of Spassky and Fischer met for two and one-half hours late Tuesday but failed to resolve differences. Euwe said later he hoped play could start Thursday because "both parties have declared that they are ready to play the match." He said new talks between representatives of Spassky and Fischer would be held later in the day. But If the talks on "personal relations" between the two players failed "then the match is off," Euwe said. Euwe granted Fischer a two-day postponement, ostensibly for medical reasons, while Fischer bargained for more money.

He agreed to play Spassky after a British banker said he would double the prize money to $250,000. plans," he said, "call for truly national participation in our bicentennial observance." As if to reply to critics of the commission's plans, he said that Americans can look back to their beginnings as a nation with a "feeling of healthy impatience for change a determination to make this good land even better," he said. In this connection the commission will concentrate on a three-part program. The first is called Herbage '76, focusing on past achievements; the second Is called Horizons '76, finding ways to achieve new goals and form a "more perfect union," and the third, Festival USA, concerned with "travel, discovery and hospitality hospitality by Americans to Americans, and hospitality by Americans to millions upon millions of visitors from nearly every country of the globe," Mr. Nixon said.

The bicentennial is a time, he said, for America to say to other nations: "You helped to make us whai we are. Come and see what wonders your countrymen have worked in this new country of ours. Come and let us say thank you. Come and join in our celebration of a proud past. Come and share our dreams of a brighter future."
