Representatives of the Nixon campaign organization are in Miami Beach to gather first land knowledge.

Not Not Filets HooplaPasse At Convention MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) "We're eating hot dogs this year, not filet mignon," says Liz Carpenter, summing up the doldrums of the social circuit at the Democratic National Convention. "It's a different spread," added Mrs. Carpenter, a White House aide in the Johnson ad- ministration and always a fa- vored guest on the Washington social circuit. It appears that the hoopla and parties which sparked past Democratic conventions are passe this year.

Some Democrats speculate this is caused by the style of the convention the new breed of delegates whose tastes run more to dungarees and peanut butter than to cocktails and caviar. Others figure the ques- tion is purely financial an- other manifestation Of the par- ty's debt.

(AP Photofax) Unnoticed By Protesters Nondelegates Eye McGovern MIAMI BEACH, Fla.

(AP) Yippies, Zippies and Gays join hands and dance in the streets when George McGovern clinched the Demo- iratic presidential nomination. In fact, many of the 1,500 counterculture demonstrators out at Flamingo Park carcely seemed to notice what wag going on at Convention lall, what with all the pot, kinny dipping and good vibes be had. "What difference does it make?" asked David Cohen, a member of the Students for a Democratic Society from Chi- cago. "He isn't going to end racism. He isn't going to buy capitalism." But If there was little cele- rating that McGovern had won out in the preconvention maneuvering, it was easy to find a kind word for the South Dakota senator.

"Anything would make me happy if it means Nixon will no longer rule the country," said Kenneth Grogan, 26, of Tampa, Fla. "McGovern is about the best there is, but I don't think everyone is satisfied with him." The prospect of McGovern as president was cheered some of the young people. "I'm happy about it," said Bill Kohler, a beer-sipping for- mer Army private who now be- longs to Vietnam Veterans Against the War. "I'd like someone to stop the war right now, and he can't do that. But he's still our best hope." Several nondelegates at Fla- mingo Park worried that McGovern might change some of his positions.

"Just between you and me, ady, Republicans are much jigger spenders," cabbie Wil- iam Previs said recently to a questioner. "You know, some iiave it and some don't."

But the skeptics were far out numbered Tuesday night by thi apathetic demonstrators who grooved with their own thing under the huge banyan tree in Flamingo Park.

"Other years we'v received lots of Invitations i receptions and teas and thing but this year there doesn seem to be much going on." The fat-cats are here a right. Sometimes they can be seen cabana-hopping along the stretch of hotel beaches, but few are throwing extravagant black-tie parties. In a convention week usually studded with fashion shows, teas and staid "ladies' func- tions," there was only one fash- ion show.

Tickets went for a record low $3. And some went begging. "These things used to be command performances," said Mrs. Gilbert Hahn of Washing- ton, who did attend. "But now they're absolutely passe.

It's delicious that this aspect is over. Four years ago this kind of thing would have been packed every day. Now who cares?"

The rate of increase was 6 per cent a year age-, and Chess Champ Spassky Asks Adjournment REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) --Caught in a hopelessly drawn game, temperamental Ameri- can challenger Bobby Fischer took a chance to bring some life into his first world chess wpulation. In the first quarter of this ear, the number of serious crimes in those cities rose 6 per cent, one half of the 1971 in- crease of 12 per cent.

The nationwide crime statis- tics are compiled by voluntary reports from 6,068 local, 1 county and state law enforcement agencies. The report "divides serious crime into two categories--vio- ent, which includes murder, forcible rape, robbery and ag- gravated assault, and property, which includes burglary, larce- ny $50 and over and auto theft. Violent crime, which makes up about 13 per cent of the total index offenses in the crime re- sort, increased 2 per cent in the first quarter of 1972, com- pared to a 13 per cent increase during the same period in 1971. In the categories that make up violent crime, murder was up 2 per cent compared to 1971's rise of 11 per cent; for- cible rape up 17 per cent versus 2 per cent last year, robbery down 2 per cent, while in first quarter of 1971 it was up 17 per cent. Aggravated as- saults rose 5 per cent compared to a 7 per cent increase in the first three months of 1971.

Suburban police agencies re- ported a 4 per cent increase in serious crime which was slightly lower than the 5 per cent last year and substantially lower than the 18 per cent rise in 1970. Crime in rural areas in- creased 8 per cent in the first quarter, compared to a 6 per cent increase in 1971 and a 19 per cent increase in 1970.

Most experts assembled here seemed to agree 'that Spassky has a chance to win, while Fischer should be happy ii he salvages a draw. But nobody has come up with an explanation why the Ameri- can chess genius went straight into what appeared to be Russian trap. 'He took a chance to win chance," said Danish grand- master Jens Eneveoldsen. "We will never know until Fischer tells us-- if does," said a international grandmaster. Fischer obviously was dis- pleased with his game.

After the adjournment he angrily demanded a meeting with the Icelandic organizers to com- plain against what he described' as the noisy audience. Some 3,000 Icelanders and foreign chess enthusiasts had packed into the Lagardur Hall for the opening thriller. But most knowled gable observers they felt the audience was quiet than is normal at chess games. The Icelanders rejected Fis said cher's demand and told him it is up to the official referee, Lothar Schmid of West Germa- ny, to run the game from now on. Spassky's seconds, international grand masters Efrim Geller and Nikolai Krogius, sent their world champion to sleep and then spent the night and the morning hours analyzing the position to find a winning combination for Spassky.

Many experts feel they will succeed, even if Geller himself modestly suggested: "I believe we will have a draw."
