The vote a 4-3 decision came after a lengthy discussion about alternatives to be presented to the court which would relieve some of the hardships of the staggered hours. BOARD MEMBERS voted unanimously to use available federal funds to draw tip a "comprehensive, system wide" desegregation plan for the 1973-74 school year. The crucial question facing the board yesterday was how to ask U.S.

Dist. Court Judge L. dure Morton for relief from the busing plan. The U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals had questioned why the school board had not asked Morton for modifications of the plan during the past school year.

Dr. Elbert D. Brooks, director of schools, and his staff presented yesterday three alternative modification proposals. THE PROPOSAL adopted by the board would return VVharton, Washington and Hill-wood Junior High schools to neighborhood schools making Washington and Wharton predominently black and Hill-wood predominantly white. To counteract the efforts of this resegregation.

Brooks proposed an exchange program between Washington and Hillwood and between Wharton and McMurray Junior High School. McMurray has not been involved in the present court plan. Under this proposal, half of a student body would be exchanged with its paired school for a half day twice a week. The effect is that twice a week, a student would be in Brings Cause fo Floor MIAMI BEACH Alabama Cov. George C.

McGovern Uses Defeat 4 By I.ARRY I) CGIITREY TtflMtMa StaH Corrctawidant MIAMI BEACH Battle lines between the new politics and the old were clearly drawn as Tennessee's Democratic delegates fought out credential challenges on the convention floor early jester-day. As Sen. George McGovern's nomination became a certainty later yesterday, however, his Tennessee supporters adopted a conciliatory attitude, promising to abide by state law and cast a meaningless vote for Alabama Gov. George Wallace tonight.

THE PROMISES did little to soothe party regulars in the delegation who sided with anti-McGovern forces in the credentials showdown. Most of them were still echoing the line which has run through the entire convention here that McGovern's nomination spells disaster for the party in Tennessee. "We'll be lucky to keep the state legislature," said George Barrett, a Nashville lawyer who hovered over the delegation on the floor during the opening session, trying to sway voles for the anti-McGovern position on the California challenge. "My vote (on tonight's ballot) will go to Wallace now," said Connie Ross, 19, Memphis. "I HAVEN'T decided whether to cast the vote myself or let an alternate do it.

It's just hard to vote for someone I disagree with so much, but I think that's what Senator McGovern wants us to do abide bv the state law. We're thinking about November now." Earlier in the week, McGovern supporters had threatened to bolt from Wallace on the first ballot if McGovern was stripped of the 151 challenged votes. However, there seemed to be no movement in that direction yesterday. It still seemed likely that at least six Memphis delegates supporting Rep. Shirley Chisholm will follow through on their promise to vote (Turn to Page 6, Column 4) To Gain Final Victory By JOHN' HAILE TonntiMan stall Corrpondi MIAMI BEACH Auid of a first ballot presidential nomination, Sen.

George McGovern sent his political forces to the convention floor last night to "gracefully" defeat George Wallace's attempts to rewrite the party platform. In the most a a ti moment of the convention, Wallace, the victim of a May 15 assassination attempt, was carried to the convention podium in his wheelchair and rolled to the bank of microphones to argue for his platform positions. The convention gave him a respect- See editorial, "Sens. Humphrey, Muskie Make Party's Job Easier," on Page 8. ful reception, with many de 1 ate enthusiastically cheering, some politely applauding and others, such as Illinois, New York and California, sitting quietly in their seats.

At times there were scattered boos. Wallaces voice was strong as he repeated his points on campaign issues. DESPITE Wallace's personal appearance, the McGovern delegates beat down, point by point, with voice votes, the Alabama governor's platform demands on busing, national defense and prayer in school. The McGovern forces were determined to hand the Alabama governor stiff defeats, but the campaign leaders had made it clear they wanted it done without driving Wallace out of the party. "Our objective is to carry the evening, but to do it gracefully, Ted Van Dyk, McGovern's platform strategist told his floor leaders.

EVEN BEFORE the platform battle broke loose on the convention floor, political speculation here had shifted to who will be McGovern's choice for vice president. Sen. Edward Kennedy reportedly is his first choice, but Kennedy's determination to stay out of the presidential race has been extended to the vice presidential consideration. Speculation on the vice presidency began immediately after the success of McGovern forces on the convention floor saw McGovern win the full 271 Stall photo by Jack Corn via AP Wirtphoto delegation and seat a full delegation. In the light of these major roll call ballots the demand that more women be seated in the 32-member South Carolina delegation seemed inconsequential.

But, as it turned out, the South Carolina roll call was critical and McGovern felt he had to lose it in order to win the two vital later roll calls on California and Illinois.

The reprimand for the three astronauts was described by a spokesman as "damaging." He said he didn't "think they will fly again." ONE ASTRONAUT, James B. Irwin, 42, already has announced his retirement to take up religious endeavors.

The others, David R. Scott and Alfred M. Worden, both 40, will be given "due consideration" for future spaceflight assignments, the spokesman said. The astronauts took an unauthorixed batch of 400 envelopes on the July, 1971, mission in which Scott and Irwin landed on the moon at Hadley Rille.
