STEVENSON McGOVERN TRUSTED (INSIDERS in the George McGovent campaign say that Sen. Adlai Stevenson III had been virtually written off as a vice presidential possibility before the credentials dispute over Mayor Richard J.

Daley and 58 Chicago machine delegates. Now, however, McGovern 'reportedly is reconsidering Stevenson as a valued asset in carrying Illinois against Nixon in November. SECURITY IS so tight at the Democratic convention at Miami Beach that even holders of tickets for VIP boxes will be required to pick them up each day. Democratic officials fear that handing them out for all four sessions, even to VIPS, would allow counterfeiters time to print bogus tickets that would flood the convention hall. THE ENDORSEMENT of McGovern by Jerry Wurf, president of the Federal, State and Municipal Workers Union, is considered particularly valuable because Wurf is rated as the labor leader with the most influence with his union membership.

According to labor experts, the only other union chief who rivals him in that way is Leonard Woodcock' of the United Auto Workers and his hold on his membership has been loosened by the support for George Wallace in the rank and file.

That quadrennial madnebs.

known as (he political conventions, here again. Monday the Democrats lead off in what promises to be a slam bang effort to select a party nominee for president. In the following story, and in the other reports Inside, TODAY and Gannett News Service give you the information you'll need to follow It all. By JACK W. GERMOND Gamwtt Nawt Svrvlca MIAMI BEAtM The emocratic National Convention that opens here Monday is certain to be noisy, turbulent and sweaty.

Very little else is There is perhaps an even chance that the important decision, the choice of a presidential nominee to oppose President Nixon, will be made for ail practical purposes in the opening session at the Convention Center Monday night. That can happen if the delegates through one parliamentary device another, reach a floor vote on the credentials committee decision that denied Sen. George S. McGovern 151 of the 271 California votes he thought he had won in a winnerwinner take all primary there June 6 This situation has been clouded by the ruling of a federal appeals court return ing the delegates to McGovern But there is still a chance that the South Dakotan's adversaries will try to make a floor test of the issue, pei haps by challenging rulings by Democratic National Chairman Lawrence O'Brien. However it happens, 1 McGovern gets the full 271 rrom California, he is home fiee either wer the top or so clos'p it won't matter.

You can look then for a rush of odd blocs to supply the last delegates needed to assure him the 1.509 required for the nomination. Even without the court order, McGovern would be favored to reverse the California decision on the floor. Moreover, he could do lit even if the J20 CaUfomUns be Is assured of getting were denied the right to vote on the Issue. 'Ills prime advantage is that he can expect the backing of supporters who are committed by primary election results, to vote for someone efc on the first ballot but are free to do as they wish on the credentials question. Michigan Is an example.

McGovern won only 38 of the state's 102 votes, in the primary, the credentials test he' expects tq. get some of the 67 ho 'are by state law to Gov George C. Similarly, bout half of (Tennessee's, primary bound votes' likely, to support McGovern jon the, California question; If McGovern does. reclaim all 271 California rotes, It's almost impossible to see him being denied the nomination. His total then would be, by any estimate, within 50 votes of the required 1,509 The delegations to follow at that point would include: Illinois.

There are about 30 nominally pro Muskie votes in this delegation that may swing to McGovern if they can make the difference. Kansas. Gov. Robert Docking probably can deliver about is of the state's 17 uncommitted votes and was inclined to do so before the California credentials decision halted McGovenr's momentum. New Jersey.

McGovern could get 20 of the state's uncommitted on top of the 78 he has been expecting all along. Connecticut. Former Democratic atlonal Chairman John M. Bailey reputedly holds the key to 15 to 20 uncommitted votes here and, although he is not enthusiastic about McGovern, he is notoriously realistic. The uncommitted blocs considered most hostile to McGovern are those from Kentucky, 38; Missouri, 61; Oklahoma, 26; and Texas, 32.

If anyTSf them start moving in substantial numbers to McGovern, the ballgame is surely over. Although a McGovern victory on the California question probably would assure his nomination, a defeat wouldn't fjHLtlh.

Even without the 151 contested delegates there, McGovern will be much closer than anyone else. And, contrary to myth, be could survive a non winning first ballot because of the second ballot votes he might expect from supporters legally bound to other candidates for one vote.

These would include 21 from North Carolina, 24 from Tennessee, 14 from Maryland and 28 from Indiana, or at least 87 The decision in a close contest might rest with delegates committed to the seteral minor candidates in the field. In that case, the groups to v. atch would include the 50 or so supporting Sen. Henry M. Jackson, the 25 to 30 backing Rep.

Shirley Chisholm, and the 27 in Aikansas for Rep. Wilbur D. Mills. Of the other major candidates in the field, the one rated most likely to rise if McGovern is stopped short is the one with the fewest solid votes now, Sen. Edmund S.

Muskie. He is considered the most obvious compromise possibility, if only because he has done the least to an iaiojiTzeT the Mother contenders and has support in more segments of the party. But it is difficult io visualize him climbing from his base of 200 to the nomination without a major defection in the McGovern strength. Sen. Hubert H.

Humphrey would have close to 500 votes if the California credentials decision stands, but there is strong resistance to Til among the more than 500 uncommitted and among Muskie delegates. Thus, Humphrey "wtfuld need virtually all of Wallace's 373 to 400 votes, plus all of those from minor candidates to get close. And none of that seems in the cards. The alternative if McGoern were stopped, would be Sen Ed ard M. Kennedy or a dark horse like Sen.

Walter Mon dale. But no one could predict the circumstances that could lead to such a result. The California test is one of only two credentials questions that will occupy the spotlight Monday sight the second being the decision that unseated Mayor Richard J.

It is quite possible for delegates to vote against Daley without being necessarily pro McGovern. Nor is there likely to be any revealing voting on the platform Tuesday night, although challenges to the draft planks are expected on issues from school busing to abortion. The most significant test is likely to come from the Wallace forces, who are unhappy with several planks andplanjojofferjIterjiatiYeSj, The voting on the Wallace proposals is likely to expose the limits of the Alabama governor's real strength at the convention, and it could' tram the new amity between him and the national party machinery 4 Keynoter Askew Do Boos Await?

Giving up in disgust, Askew began to listen to friends in his Panhandle hometown of Pensacola who were urging him to try and reunite Florida's Democratic party, a party badly battered by the 1968 elections. As the darkest dark horses, Askew defeated seyeral better known Democrats and then soundly defeated Kirk on a calm platform, of tax reform and responsible leadership. The key plank in his platform' was, to tax corporations their "fair share" in Florida, Wjthln a year Askew had the Legislature solidly behind him and won an overwhelming endorsement of his new tax program at the ballot box.
