Milliken and Attorney General Frank J. Kelley today said they would file "emergency" appeals of two federal courts rulings that set in motion development of the largest cross-district busing program in the nation.

Milliken, a Republican, and Kelley, a Democrat, said they would ask the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati, Ohio, to reverse two court rulings by U.S. District Judge Stephen J. Roth hi the Detroit school integration case. The two rulings are Roth's order, issued Monday, requiring the state to purchase 295 buses to prepare for interim busing to integrate some element a schools in metropolitan Detroit this fall, and Roth's June 14 order setting up an 11-member panel to draw up integration plans for Detroit and 52 suburb in three counties.

"Yesterday's ision by Judge Roth ordering the state of Michigan to pay for 295 buses in preparation for a metropolitan busing plan raises great questions of a constitutional nature," Milliken and Kelley said (Continued on page 3.)

The vessel, the Amsterdam, built in Amsterdam in 1748 for the Dutch East Indies Company, was the biggest Dutch East Indiaman of her day and was on her maiden voyage Jan. 8, 1749 when she hit a sandbank off the south coast of England and settled into quicksand.

Eventually the vessel was 'sucked' into the sand to a depth of 30 feet and its remaining top structure began to be swept away by wind and tide. Tides of 22 feet covered her from sight. In 1969 workmen laying pipe across the Hastings beach began to unearth cargo and artifacts with a mechanical digger and the Amsterdam was found.

MIAMI BEACH (UPI)--The self styled happy warrior, Hubert H. Humphrey, pulled out of the race today for the Democratic presidential nomination in the face of the spfeeding McGovern steamroller.

Humphrey, the 1968 nominee, appeared with his wife Muriel and daughter at his side at 12:22 p.m. EDT before a crowded room full of reporters to announce his withdrawal, saying he was releasing his delegates to "vote as they wish." Humphrey appeared somber as he read a three-paragraph statement on his decision that clinched the nomination Wednesday night for George S. McGovern. His voice broke slightly toward the end of the statement as he thanked his staff and supporters who worked for him. After reading the prepared statement, Humphrey added a few words saying, we fought the good we bow out." He then hugged Muriel and walked away from the microphones.

Humphrey was said to have reached his decision to withdraw early this morning after seeing his major -hope of overtaking McGovern fail. That was the convention's decision to give McGovern all 271 delegates from Cailforina, instead of splitting them up with Humphrey getting 106 and McGovern 120 based on the June 6 primary voting. Humphrey then slept on his decision a few hours and "met with his top advisers at midmorning. Later, he callec together aU. of his staff for a closed meeting and--as tear were shed, including some by Muriel Humphrey he tolc them he was bowing out.

Humphrey And Muskie Withdraw Restoration of 151 California Delegates Gives McGovern Edge MIAMI BEACH (UPI) Sen. George S.

McGovern wrapped up the Democratic presidential domination today as Sens. Hubert H. Humphrey and Edmund S. Muskie dropped out of the race. Humphrey released his delegates during a dramatic noon hour news conference and Mus- kie followed suit a couple hours later.

Sen. Henry M. Jackson however declined to leave the now- smashed stop-Mc Govern effort, saying he was in the fight to its end. George C. Wallace gave no evidence he had any intention of quitting either.

"After consultation with some of my closest friends and supporters, I have determined that I will not permit my name to be entered in nomination at the convention, and I am -now releasing my delegates to vote as they wish." "My withdrawal from the )residential race is a withdrawal of candidacy only.

McGovern was relaxing in his hotel room when Humphrey announced he was conceding to the South Dakotan's nearly two- year battle to beat the pros at their own game. He talked by telephone to Humphrey and praised him for "his 25-year fight for human justice." McGovern was just 43 votes short of the 1,509 needed for victory when balloting begins in the convention hall Wednesday night. Humphrey's 429-plus delegates, many of them almost sure to back will put him easily past the required quota. Humphrey's pullout came just hours after McGovern forces on and off the convention floor captured a crucial vote which restored to McGovern 151 California delegates which had been taken from him in pre- convention rulings. That victory--and the weight by which it was won-apparently prompted Humphrey to give up his decade-long quest for the presidency.

George C. Wallace announced plans to go to the convention floor tonight to press his fight for the kind of conservative platform he must have November. says the party for victory in TOTAL ECLIPSE The July 10 total solar eclipse as seen from 39,000 feet above Northern Canada.

A cloud cover disappointed some scientists during Monday's total eclipse of the sun, but for the man in the street nnd Mrs. Douglas Greening's cows, the momentary phenomenon meant very little. The eclipse occurred as the moon passed between the earth and the sun, casting a shadow of complete darkness in a thin line from Sakhalin Island north of Japan across Alaska and Canada. The phenomenon lasted for two hours and 13 minutes, beginning at 2:32 p.m. Holland time in the Orient, and fading put at 4:45 p.m.

Townspeople watched the phenomenon in perfect clear weather through layers of exposed film. The total eclipse across northern and eastern Canada lasted for about 126 seconds, but a partial eclipse was evident for about half an hour. Most residents of Canada and the northern United States witnessed only the partial eclipse--if they bothered, to look at all.

LONG SESSION The first day of the Democratic Convention Monday at Miami Beach, went into the second day and found some of delegates weary. A short nap for two of the delegates was in order, while a third fingers her hair. The first convention session lasted nine hours, ing at 3:53 a Holland time. (UWtttepfcote).
