He'll Visit Brevard Early in Campaign FRANK BEACIIAM TOOAV Convtntion BurMu MIAMI BEACH Plans are being made for Democratic presidential nominee George MeGovern to visit Brevard (or a campaign tour shortly after th Republican National Convention next month, it was revealed Wednesday.

A tentative date has been set for the South Dakota senator to visit the Space Coast but it cannot yet be revealed, said Dr. Richard fhompson, a member of the Brevard Democratic executive committee. Thompson, Brevard campaign manager for New York Mayor John Lindsay in the Florida presidential primary in March, said he probably will head up Central Florida a in a i organization. He said he also had been trying to persuade members of the Florida delegation to support MeGovern as the party's nominee but was finding the going rough.

Proposals 'Flexible' For Renewed Peace Talks SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. On, the eve of of the Paris peace talks, President Nixon conferred Wednesday with a ranking Soviet diplomat as 'the White House reiterated that U.S. proposals to end the Vietnam war were flexible. Timing of Soviet Ambassador Anatoly j'Ppbvnbj's visit Jjhe purely said press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler, and docs not relate to the renewed Paris talks.

Ziegler said, however, that Vietnam would come up "in the course of overall discussion' on world affairs" between Nixon and the diplomat who has served in the past as a go between in U.S. contacts with Soviet readers: Fischer Loses American: 'Bobby Fischer went down to defeat ln.the world championship chess opener Wed nesday, giving.

Ziegler described the as "purely speculative" "'and said' he "would have no 'ubstantive comment on it." But the spokesman used Hie occasion to repeat that the United States seeks "constructive and serious talks" with the Communist and will "listen to the other side." "We have said there is flexibility ju our proposals," Ziegler added. "We do not have a closed mind." Dobrynln's meeting with was arranged by the President's chief foreign affairs" adviser, Henry Kissinger. Thompson said. "Most are Wallaceitcs through and through." Thumuson said MeGovern will take a two week vacation following the convention and will wait until after the Republican convention to begin his campaign. He said the Brevard visit, which would be one of the Democratic nominee's first campaign stops, was agreed to in exchange for his work in helping set up the Florida organization.

MeGovern would have some fence mending to do in Brevard. He has never been enthusiastic about funds for the space, program. This was reflected in the McGovern duminated Democratic platform which fails to mention the future of the space program. DR. RICHARD THOMPSON MeGovern organizer tf Convention TW.

Downstairs in the Doral lobby about 250 young McGovcrn volunteer campaign workers watching television erupted in a loud cheer as the Illinois vote put the senator over the top.

They immediately began chanting "Beat Nixon, Beat Nixon, Beat Nixon." Even during the demonstration when MeGovern passed the winning mark, blocs of Wallace and Jackson supporters notably i Michigan, Pennsylvania and North Carolina delega? tions sat in conspicuous silence, many of them with arms folded.
