McGovern, the master of "new politics" who beat the old pros at their own game, won his deeply divided party's presidential nomination last night by an overwhelming margin on the first ballot. Weary, squabbling delegates to the Democratic National Convention leaped to their feet with a roar shortly before midnight Eastern daylight time, when Illinois put McGovern over the magic number of 1,509 ballots he needed to nail down the hard-won nomination.

Chamber officials said yesterday the code satisfies demands of a "consumer revolution" and provides an alternative to further government regulation of business.

"The consumer wants honesty in the marketplace; he wants proper advertising he wants the things that are in this code. said Richard H. Cox, chamber community development division manager. Cox said leaders of the business associations dealing directly with consumers have been invited to a breakfar.t discussion of the code at 7:30 a.m. Friday at Neptune's Table, 702 W.

Camelback. "Our objective." Cox said, "is to elicit their support in their own trade and industrial associations to formulate their own ethics codes, so that businesses of the same type can effectively police their own business, thereby eliminating the necessity of legislation." The code was written by the chamber's Improved Business Practices Task Fcee and ratified recently by the chamber board of directors. "Consumers have every right to expect safety, quality and integrity from those whose products or services they buy," Keith L. Turley, chamber president said in making the code public yesterday. "We arc committing ourselves to take acllon to Miiplrinent the principles contained in the code," he said.

Cox said chamber officials, will inform the business association leaders "what is going on in this consumer revolution." He said representatives of the attorney general's office and the Better Business Bureau were among those invited. The chamber's code says that business associations should: Assure products are safe in every way. Provide high product standards at "the lowest reasonable price." Listen to consumers during product planiing. "Simplify, clarify and honor product warranties and Service and repair products. Eliminate frauds and deceptions.

-Insure that sales personnel are familiar with products they are selling. Provide consumers with objective information about products, services. Offer consumers a choice of products.

The vehicle had Michigan license plates. Detroit radio station WJR said law enforcement officials had traced the car's registration's to a Republic of New Africa member who once lived in Detroit.

However, the man was not one of the two arrested. Ironically, the Illinois delegation that sealed McGovern's victory included the challenger group that ousted Mayor Richard J.

Then he announced that Illinois had cast 119 votes for McGovern, and the cavernous hall resounded with deafening chants of "We want McGovern!" That gave McGovern 1,603 votes, well above tne required majority, and the roll call went on, adding to his margin of victory.

At the end of the first complete ballot, before changes by the states began, McGovern had piled up a total of 1.728.3;') votes. When Illinois put him over the top, several hundred of the senator's young volunteers in the grand promenade of the Doral Hotel broke into a wild cheer and started chanting, "We did good! We did good!" On the convention floor, McGovern campaign manager Frank Mankiewicz, standing with the California delegation, raised his hand in a victory salute even before Choate finished reading the clinching vote. When the pendemonium subsided. Mankiewicz, a victory cigar in hand, refused to speculate on McGovern's choice of a running mate. "Let's wait a little while," he said.

"He (McGovern) has given a lot of thought to it, but I don't think he's made up his mind," Mankiewicz added. "He Continued on Page 17 Associated Press 1 Associated Press MIAMI BEACH Federal agents rushed to the Doral Beach Hotel yesterday and seized two men on concealed weapons charges shortly after Sen. George McGovern wound up a meeting in his penthouse suite. The Secret Service said later it had no evidence the men intended to harm the South Dakota senator or any other Democratic presidential candidate. The Secret Service said the two black men identified themselves as Malek Sonebeyatta, 32, and Ahmed Obatemi.

33, both of Jackson, but said that positive identification had not been made. Both carried multiple identification, authorities said. Two handguns were found under the seat of a car occupied by one of the men. "We have no information at this time to connect the activities of these men with any intended harm to the protectees of the Secret Service," agents said in a news release. One police source said the two belonged to a black separatist organization called the Republic of New Africa.

Shortly after the 11:45 a.m. arrests, Unite factions, Muskie tells McGovern By BERV'EWyNT' Republic Political MIAMI A II -S n. George McGovern must "reach out in a positive way" and welcome splintered Democrats back into the fold if he hopes to win in November, Sen. Edmund Muskie, D-Maino, last Muskie made this assessment a a private cockiail party for a small gathering of his staff and financial backers at the Americana Hotel jusf before trie final convention session got underway. "Sen out in people said.

McGovern will have to reach a positive way to make all the feel thev arc welcome," Muskie He said McGovern will have to find a "human way" to woo into his camp such diverse forces as Mayor Richard Daley's Cook County machine and George AFL-CIO workers. Muskie, who was once considered the front-runner in the drive for the nomination, said he has no idea who McGovern will select as his running mate, adding, "He's not revealing much and I wouldn't cither." Muskie, 57, decided his presence at convention hall last night would not lead to a healing of wounds, so he stayed in his hotel room and watched the proceedings on television. But he plans to attend tonight with his wife, Jean, to witness the vice presidential selection and hear the acceptance speeches. "Here's Moe Udall," Muskie said by way of introducing Rep. Morris G.

Udall, during a brief but sentimental farewell to his campaign group. "He's a most impressive congressman and he's my friend." A couple of youths, with tears of disappointment in their eyes, unrolled a huge banner that predicted, "Muskie in 1976." "I do not know what the future will hold," Muskie said. "I know I will do my best to give my best to this country as long as I am privileged to serve." Muskie said he did not know of anything he could have done differently that would have changed the outcome of his campaign for the party's highest office. He said that during the afternoon he went golfing and shot his usual high score. "My golf score is too high and my campaign score too low," he quipped.

"If the reverse were true I'd be a combination of the president and Jack Nick-laus." Udall, chairman of Arizona's splintered delegation that produced only six votes for Muskie, said he was convinced that the unexpected entry of Hubert Humphrey into the primaries is what sank Muskie. In 1970, Humphrey assured his Minnesota constituents that he had no other political ambitions but to return to the U.S. Senate and serve his people, Udall said. But a few months later Humphrey was talking about running for president, which eluded him in 1968, and a month or two later he was formally in the scramble. For one thing, Humphrey's entry dried up Muskie money sources, Beaty said.

He said the big contributors either wait- 2 McGovern canceled a scheduled 12:15 p.m. trip to attend a Democratic National Convention caucus of 151 Latin delegates at the Deauville Hotel. McGovern's press secretary, Kirby Jones, said the visit was canceled so that the senator could work on a nomination acceptance speech. Jones said, however, that aides had urged McGovern not to go because of the incident. Secret Service, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Florida Law Enforcement Department agents arrested one man as he sat in a mustard colored sports car parked on the ramp of the hotel.

The Secret Service said two pistols were found under the car's front seat. The second man was taken into custody in the hotel's interior lobby minutes later. Both were frisked, handcuffed and taken away. It was not immediately clear which of the two men was inside the hotel. The arrests occurred just after a meeting between McGovern and six gov- ernors in the senator's 17th floor suite broke up.

There was no word about what arrangements, if any, were being made to deliver the money. About an hour and a half after the plane landed, the airport control tower reported over the police radio that the plane was out of fuel and without electricity and that the hijackers were asking for another plane.

Stricter searches on all commuter flights were ordered by President Nixon after last week's events.
