BAULCII Associated Press Writer Eight primaries set for Tuesday add up to the biggest political day so far in this fast-build- ng campaign year with the fate of George C. Wallace's third party presidential hopes at stake in Alabama's gubernatorial runoff. Attention also will focus on Senate primary voting in California, New Jersey, Montana and Mississippi and party balloting for candidates for governor in California, New Mexico and South Dakota. House seats in all eight states will be up for grabs as well. In Alabama, Wallace faces incumbent Gov.

Albert Brewer, who defeated him in the initial Democratic primary last month by 11,703 votes, but failed to build the necessary majority. Wallace faces a tough shot since no candidate finishing second in the initial primary has ever won an Alabama gubernatorial runoff since 1914. Tuesday's winner is all but assured general election victory since the Republicans have indicated they will have no candidate in the fall. Several factors are at work in the Wallace-Brewer runoff, including the 30,000 voters registered since the May election, the potential impact of the nearly 150,000 votes cast last month for the No. 3 finisher, Charles Wood, and the race issue.

Brewer received the lion's share of the state's large black minority in May and Wallace has made much of this "Negro Bloc vote" in an effort to pick up more of the white vote, particularly among Wood's followers and the 500,000 registered voters who stayed at home in the first round. A Wallace defeat would put a serious dent in any plans he has to build from his 1968 third party presidential try for a stronger bid in two years. In California, polls rate Los Angeles Mayor Sam Yorty an underdog in his battle with former Assembly Democratic Leader Jesse Unruh for the party's nomination for governor. Republican Gov. Ronald Reagan is unopposed for his party's nomination for a second four year term.

Also in California, polls show Republican Sen. George Murphy a strong favorite to withstand a primary challenge by multimiL lionaire industrialist Norton Simon. The Democratic Senate primary is rated a tossup, with Jlep. George Brown contending against Rep. James V.

Tunney son of former heavyweighl champion Gene Tunney. New Mexico Democratic Sen Joseph M. Montoya is favorec to best Richard Edwards, a former state representative who is challenging him for renomina- tion. Montoya got a boost from Sen ate colleagues Friday when the Ethics Committee cleared him of any wrongdoing in connection with published reports that he and other senators had taken payoffs to introduce bills to head off deportation of Chinese seamen who jump ship in the United States. If Montoya wins, his likely opponent in the general election will be GOP Gov.

(AP) Tufts University held commencement exercises Saturday but hardly any of the 1,500 graduating class showed up.

The students voted that the $10,000 alloted, the traditional graduation week parties be used for various campus aciyities, including a student-run drug rehabilitation center and summer camp scholarships for underprivileged children. By FRANCES LEWINE Associated Press Writer SAN CLEMENTS, Calif.

They flew here to give the President and top Washington military leaders an up-to-date progress report on the month old Cambodia operation and how it will affect plans for withdrawing more U.S.

troops from Vietnam. "The President was encouraged by this briefing," deputy press secretary Gerald Warren announced afterwards. He turned aside questions on pedal details, explaining that he President wants "to make his own report" in a 15-minute TV talk. Warren emphasized that Pres- dent Nixon had no new or dramatic decisions or announcements to make regarding the Vietnam war. The June 30 deadline still stands for withdrawal of all U.S.

roops from Cambodia, Warren said. He added that the President did not plan to say anything about the timetable for withdrawal of the 150,000 troops he announced would come out of Vietnam by next spring. The TV address, at a time to be announced later, will relate to the progress of the operation against the enemy's Cambodian border sanctuaries launched April 30 and the Vietnamization program under which the United States hopes to turn over more battle responsibilities to the South Vietnamese. All three national television networks and Mutual Radio saic hey would broadcast the presi- ential address.
