Wearied by marathon preliminaries, the Democratic National Convention prepared to nominate Senator George S.

McGovern for President last night while crippled, Alabama Governor George C. Wallace signaled the possibility of another third-party race. After the raucous, all-night sessions it took to seat delegates and draft a platform, the convention's main event looked easy. McGovern had the votes.

Six names were to be placed before the national convention tonight. The first was that of former Senator Eugene J. McCarthy whose delegate commitment count is simply: zero. The others, in order: Wallace, former Governor Terry Sanford of North Carolina, McGovern, Representative Shirley Chisholm of New York, and Turn to page 9, Column 1 7Billiori: Flood Relief For East Spassky Wins 1 st Game Of Chess Championship The 56 Mov)2s In The First Title Game, Page 6 Also Seek Parking Lot Case Link STAR STATE REPORT A state police detective is en route to Florida to question an Anderson man held there on a kidnaping charge in connection with the shooting death of an, Indianapolis law firm secretary. Indianapolis police also are interested in questioning the man, Arthur Morris 21, Anderson, about the murder of a woman in a parking lot behind the Marion County jail.

HOWEVER, no Indianapolis police plan at this time to go to Florida to question Morris. Sgt. Al Coppes of the state police post at Fort Wayne will talk to Arthur Morris 21, whose whereabouts are unknown during a 12-hour period when Phyllis Jean Bailer, 26, 501 Aira Drive, the secretary, was shot to death. Two Anderson detectives, Lt. Dave Lehr and Sgt.

Butch Helton, also flew to Florida yesterday in an effort to learn whether they will have jurisdiction over Morris or whether the Federal Bureau of Investigation will take charge. Morris has waived extradition to Indiana. INDIANAPOLIS detectives want to see if Morris might be a suspect in the stabbing death on June 17 of Katherine Derrick, 28, Westfield, whose body was found in a parking lot near the Marion County jail. Mrs. Bailer's body was found near an Allen County road north of Fort Wayne Saturday morning.

She had been shot twice. Her car was found with its hood up shortly after noon Saturday about 48 miles south of Fort Wayne along Interstate 69. She last had been heard from Friday evening. Morris has been charged with abducting three Anderson women, all of whom escaped from him. One escaped Monday night near Jasper in northern Florida.

MORRIS is being held under bond at Jacksonville, Fla. Mrs. Bailer, who had been separated from her husband, Richard K. Bailer, for more than a year, was driving to Bluffton to spend the weekend with her parents. Her divorce was due to become final Sept.

Amen. A count of delegate commitment put McGovern well over the top at 1,613.75, with only 1,509 needed for the first-ballot nomination. Wallace had 383 delegates. THE ONLY SUSPENSE left was over McGovern's choice of a vice-presidential running mate. One name topped every list of prospects, that of Senator Edward M.

Kennedy of Massachusetts, who has ssii he does not want to run for national office in 1972. Indiana Democratic Chairman Gordon St. Angelo said many of the 124-member delegation from Indiana would encourage the selection of Senator Birch E. Bayh of Indiana for the second spot on the ticket. William E.

Gigerich of Indianapolis, chairman of McGovern forces in Indiana, said the nominee's Hoosier supporters prefers Kennedy but could support Bayh. But the list that counted was McGov-erns' own, said to be four or five names long, for the senator from South Dakota will have his way when the convention -makes the vice-presidential choice tomorrow night. ACROSS BISCAYNE Bay at Wallace's Miami command post, the governors campaign manager said the chance that Wallace will run on a third-party ticket again in 1972 "seems to be getting stronger and stronger every minute." In the early-morning hours, the convention had snouted down the effort of the Wallace minority to turn the party platform in its conservative direction. Charles S. Snider said Wallace will decide soon after the convention is over whether to undertake another third-party campaign.

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. OTHER PREFERENCES mentioned for the vice-presidential spot by McGovern supporters in the Hoosier delegation included, in order, Florida Governor Reubin Askew, whose wife, Donna, has strong Indiana family connections, and Leonard Woodcock, national president of the United Auto Workers. "There is no question that the Indiana delegation would support Birch Bayh for vice-president and I know his name is being considered," St. Angelo said. "We would be quite pleased if Bayh is selected," Gigerich said.

Bayh had arrived at the convention last Saturday as quite a long shot away from becoming McGoven's running mate, but his name popped up prominently late Tuesday night. MCGOVERN was closeted at his Doral Hotel penthouse yesterday pondering his choice of a running mate and had been ordered by legal counsel for the U.S. Marshal's Service at Washington to execute the mandates if a written order was not received by tomorrow from Judge Dillin. Loos said he relayed that Instruction to Judge Dillin on Tuesday. Yesterday, 7V4 months after the most recent mandates were issued by the appeal court and 15 months after the Issuance of the first one, involving McQuinn, Judge Dillin issued an order directing in writing that the marshal stay the execution of the mandates pending the court's rulings on motions for reduction of sentence.

JUDGE DILLIN'S order was postdated to Nov. 29, 1971. The judge said he postdated the directive because "that's when I told Charlie (Loos) not to execute on the opening game eight minutes after Spassky, playing the white pieces, made his first move. The American challenger responded to Spassky's opening queen gambit by setting up a Nimzo-Indian defense. THE TWO EXCHANGED major pieces, including the queens in the 11th and 12th moves of the game.

Playing briskly, Fischer pulled a bishop back to queen two on the 14th move to prepare the way for active use of his rooks. Then Fischer made a move that most experts said ended his chance of winning the game.

The gunman was said to have ordered the flight to Philadelphia. Aboard the Boeing 727 jet were 113 passengers and a crew of five.

The plane had made local stops after leaving Miami. Its last before Kennedy Airport was Philadelphia. An operations spokesman at the airport here said the captain radioed he had a man aboard with a sawed-off shotgun and a box which he said contained a bomb. (UPI Tleptioto) HENRY JACKSON, LYNN SOMMERS She'll Second His Nomination THE PRESIDENT recalled that he visited a devastated area of Pennsylvania in the wake of tropical storm Agnes. "The destruction and loss were im- mense, almost overpowering," he said.

"But even more moving were the spirit, the optimism, and the determination of the disaster victims themselves, and that of the government and volunteer workers who were striving side by side with them to undo the damage nature had wrought." The President said "The progress that has been made to date is impressive" printing out "in terms of the property damage and of the sweeping extent of the territory affected, this has been the worst natural disaster in the whole of America's history." MORE THAN 18,000 homes and businesses were destroyed or damaged and more than 80 persons lost their lives in floods triggered by Agnes. "The challenge we face," said Mr. Nixon, "is not an easy one. But I have faith that, working together, we can overcome the terrible devastation that the floods have left behind." Nixon Sends Two; Top Republicans To Miami Beach Miami Beach (UPI) President Nixon sent two top Republicans to the Democratic convention yesterday to seek support among Democrats refusing to back the presidential candidacy of Senator George S. McGovern.

Interior Secretary Rogers C. B. Morton and Governor John Love of Colorado, who are serving as stand-in campaigners for the President, said they planned to meet with Democrats disenchanted with their party and McGovern's "wild" positions on the issues. CALLING McGovern "a very beatable" candidate, Morton said organized labor, supporters of Governor Wallace of Alabama, and established political leaders were "obvious areas" where Mr. Nixon could pick up.

Democratic support. "We've got a very fertile field here." he said. Morton described the convention as "one of the most divided ones in my political memory" and said he planned to report his findings personally to the President. The former Maryland congressman said he would talk to his former House colleagues where he has already observed "all shades of disenchantment with McGovern." Love said he would contact friends among the governors. CHIME ALERT Emergency Only other Fire Rescue (First Aid) 634-1313 'Emergency Ambulance 630-71 1 San Clemente, Calif.

(UPI) President Nixon announced yesterday he would ask Congress to appropriate more than $1.7 billion to help rebuild communities in six Atlantic Seaboard states devastated by tropical storm Agnes. The President also said he would propose that Congress authorize special disaster loans to affected homeowners and businessmen in New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia and Florida at only 1 per cent Interest. No payment would be required on the first $5,000 of a loan. "NEVER BEFORE has so thorough and so all-embracing a recovery effort been launched. Never was it more uniquely needed," Mr.

Nixon said in a special, five-minute speech taped for radio broadcast. In a third step to speed disaster relief, Mr. Nixon said he had invited some 500 mayors, county executives and other leaders from the stricken six-state area to attend a special conference with Federal officials at Washington tomorrow. Frank Carlucci, deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget, will preside at the conference. Mr.

Nixon pointed out Carlucci is native of one of the hardest-hit communities in Pennsylvania Wilkes-Barre. The $1.7 billion allocation, the President said, was the largest amount to be earmarked for recovery efforts In the United States. The President's proposal was a substantial liberalization of existing Federal disaster relief regulations. The current law provides for a $2,500 grant with the remainder repaid at 5V per cent. It also requires that the first $500 on any loan must be repaid.

Under Mr. Nixon's proposal the first $5,000 would, in effect, be a grant with the remainder of the loan paid off over a 30-year period at the 1 per cent interest rate. To date more than $100 million already has been expended for relief assistance and the President recently signed a measure authorizing an additional $200 million. Sentence Mandate mandates. It's immaterial whether I signed an order or not.

What's the difference whether my order Is oral or written?" Kenneth G. Carrick, clerk for the appeals court at Chicago, said an order directing a stay of execution after the issuance of a mandate is "unprecedented, as far as I know, in this court." "Once the mandate is issued, we wipe the case off our books and assume the defendants will be picked up by the marshal to start serving their terms," Carrick said. The appeal court clerk said he "didn't know" whether Judge Dillin has legal authority to take unlimited time in modifying sentences.

Fischer, who had stopped play in the game for 35 minutes to protest the presence of two closed-circuit television cameras high above the contest stage, conceded to the Russian on the 56th move.

He gave up when he saw he could not prevent Spassky's moving his only surviving pawn to Fischer's side of the board, thus turning it into a queen, the most powerful piece in the game. Fischer stood up, made a helpless gesture to the audience and walked off. The second game is scheduled for today at 1 p.m. EDT. PLAY IN THE interrupted first game resumed on time, but Fischer walked out after three moves to protest the two television cameras.

Match organizers covered the cameras with a cloth, but Fishcer said they still bothered him. Spassky, wearing a slate jacket and beige trousers, made the first move yesterday, taking one of Fischer's remaining pawns. Fischer then took a pawn from Spassky with his king. After 40 moves and 4V4 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 siad 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 12Vi.

Each win counts for one point and a draw Mi point. The two chess masters have played each other five times in the past. Spassky won three of the games and two were draws.
