GASTONIA GAZETTE, June 30, 1972 McGovem fuming over 'shoddy deal' WASHINGTON IAP) An angry George McGovern has threatened to withhold support from the Democratic ticket it he loses the presidential nomination because of what he called "shabby back-room dealing." McGovern coupled the threat with a stream of accusations directed at the Credentials Committee vote Thursday stripping him, at least temporarily, of more than half the 271 delegates he won in California's primary. The committee's 72-66 vote to apportion the 271 delegates among nine candidates, rather than awarding them all to McGovern. fueled the unrest simmering in a party searching somewhat uncertainly for harmony between regulars and reformers. That decision and another due today on a challenge to one of the pre-eminent old-liners. Chicago Mayor Richard J.

Daley, portended further acrimonious debate at the MIAMI Beach convention opening July 10. The full convention will vote on accepting or rejecting Credentials Committee decisions. In his initial burst of anger, McGovern called the committee decision "the rottenest political steel I've ever seen in my political career" and blamed Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, his nearest rival and chief beneficiary of the ruling, for engineering it.

"I couldn't possibly support a convention that would sustain this kind of shabby back-room dealing," he declared. "1 wouldn't have any part of any convention nominee who would support this." But he tempered the assertion later when he told a news conference in Atlantic City, N.J., that his initial outburst "doesn't reflect what 1 want to say about this matter." DODGING U. S.

Vietnam was the dominant topic. Nixon said the United States "will return to the negotiating table on the assumption that the North Vietnamese are prepared to negotiate in a serious and constructive way.

We will be prepared to negotiate in that way." He reaffirmed a May 8 offer to withdraw all Americans within four months in return for a supervised Indochina cease-fire and the return of American prisoners plus an accounting for those missing. At another point, Nixon again claimed success (or his Viet- namization program while declining to say exactly when Saigon forces might be able to operate effectively without U.S. supporting airpower.
