Sen. Henry M. Jackson, .81 per cent and Mayor John V. Lindsay .77 per cent. Brown also said he was certifying all 271 McGovern delegates, as required by state law.

Using these figures, however, the credentials committee decision would cut McGovern's total by 143 delegates to 118. The 143 delegates would be divided to give Humphrey 104, Wallace 20, Chisholm 12, Muskie 6, Yorty 4, McCarthy 3 and Lindsay and Jackson 2 each. In other developments: In Philadelphia, a hearing examiner decided that 40 per cent of Humphrey's and Muskie's Pennsylvania delegates were chosen in violation of the reform rules.

CAA President Elgar Wil-1 i a also assistant city planning director, said today, "We are not trying to cast any dispersions on the commission.

"We hope the outcome of this is that we might be able to assist the city commission in solving this problem which is a major social problem across the country."

Mi AMSTERDAM (AP) The president of the World Chess Federation has threatened American champion Bobby Fischer with blacklisting following reports he is holding out for a cut of the gate receipts from his World Series with Boris Spassky of Russia. Dr. Max Euwe, the world federation president and veteran Dutch grandmaster, said Thursday night that if the 29-year-old American fails to appear Sunday for the start of the world chess championship i Reykjavik, Iceland, he stands to lose his rights to play for the world title "not only this time but perhaps forever." Fischer was seen Thursday night at New York's Kennedy airport, but Icelandic Airlines said he did not board its flight to Reykjavik. When newsmen tried to question him, his bodyguards fended them off. The next flight from New York to Iceland is tonight.

But Fischer in the past has refused to fly on the Jewish Sabbath, between sundown Friday and sundown Saturday. Informed sources in Reykjavik said that Fischer in Mao reported incurably ill NEW YORK (AP) Mao Tse-tung is reported to be suffering from incurable throat cancer, the Wall Street Journal said today. "One estimate is that he may not survive beyond the year, though that apparently is not a firm medical prognosis," the newspaper reported in a story by staff writer Robert Keatley. Keatley said the 7S-year-old Chinese Communist party chairman, a heavy smoker, was reported to have received radiation treatment for his illness but it was not known if there were plans for surgery.

Man turns self in on skyjacking DETROIT (AP) The Federal Bureau of Investigation at Detroit today confirmed a suburban River Rouge man turned himself in to River Rouge police Thursday night, saying he was an accomplice in a plane hijacking in which the hijacker bailed out over Indiana with $502,000 ransom.

Cossingham extended the initial invitation two weeks ago at a city commission meeting. Mayor Frederick Brydges said Thursday that he had not et received a written invitation but he would participate in the tour if time and city business permitted. "This is a top priority," he said. The bus tour will be part of a general open house July 15 a the CAA headquarters located at Manchester and Gnint streets.

Both county and municipal officials are being invited to attend. Williams said, so that CAA board members can become better acquainted with them.

While discussing Vietnam, he philosophized about East-West negotiations in broad terms that apparently could be given broad application. Speaking of talks with Communist leaders, he said: "I find that making a bargain with them is not easy and you get something from them only when you have something they want to get from you." In this vein, he said that's why he intends to continue bombing North Vietnam, mine its harbors and maintain a "residual force" in the South until prisoners of war are returned. Chevy guarantees price on '73 trucks DETROIT (AP) Chevrolet dealers have been authorized to write advance orders for 1973 model trucks under a guarantee that prices won't be raised more than four per cent over 1972 prices, according to company spokesmen.

General Motors Corp. emphasized Thursday, however, that prices may not actually increase by the full four per cent authorized. Rather, the move was termed "price protection" to enable dealers to bid on fleet orders in advance of the setting of prices. GM hasn't yet received Price Commission authorization for any price increase on its 1973 model cars and trucks. On Chevrolet light and medium duty trucks, a four per cent increase would boost the prices anywhere from $100 to $300; but on heavy duty models, the hike could be as much as $1,000.

Shotgun pellet kills girl, 13 INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (AP) A pellet from a 12-gauge shotgun a policeman was using to destroy a "vicious dog" ripped through two walls of a garage and killed a 13-year-old girl out of view of the officer, police reported. Joyce McCray was killed Thursday when struck in the chest by the pellet as she played in an alley 100 feet from where the shotgun was fired, police said. They said the weapon was fired by Patrolman Charles L. Sparks, who had been sent to assist dog pound employes in capturing a dog reported roaming the neighborhood.

The riot guns, with a heavy buckshot load, are the easiest and quickest method of destroying a dog, police said. CHARLOTTE A 24-year-old man was taken into custody by Eaton County sheriff's deputies Thursday after he disarmed a Charlotte policeman at gunpoint and drove away in the officer's patrol car. Before Harold Lundy of rural Charlotte was captured he had involved officers from five law enforcement agencies in a chase that ended in a ditch about six miles of here. The sheriff's department received a call about 6 p.m., according to Usdersheriff Gene Iloag, from Lundy's wife saying that he was armed with two. pistols and a rifle.

About the same time, the department was notified that shots were being fired at passing cars two miles south of town. It was unknown this morning if Lundy was involved in the. shooting or if any vehicles had been hit by Charlotte Police Chief Bar Continued from Page 1 the California vote was to trim McGovern's first-place delegate total and increase his difficulty in wooing uncommitted delegates. But Gary Hart, the senator's campaign manager, told a news conference the defeat was a "temporary hurdle we will overcome by Miami." Frank Mankiewicz, his national political director, said the matter may be taken to court. A new Associated Press tally, taking into account the committee vote, put McGovern's first-ballot strength now at 1,226.9, or 282.1 votes away from the needed 1,509.

McGovern's own tally dropped to 1,333.75, or 175.25 short of a majority. A crucial question when the California case comes to the floor will be whether any of the state's delegates can vote. The credentials committee rules prohibited the state's 10 pro-McGovern members from participating, but the convention rules state that only persons whose places are challenged are barred. The McGovern backers will contend that the approximately 120 McGovern delegates who would serve, regardless of the outcome, should be allowed to vote; the Humphrey forces may challenge that contention.

supporting air-power. "We expect, perhaps, some more North Vietnamese offensive," he said, "but I believe now the ability of the South Vietnamese to defend themselves on the ground, with the support we give them in the air, has been demonstrated." He said 40 per cent of all the tactical air sorties over South Vietnam are being flown by South Vietnamese. "The success of our air strikes in the North and on the battlefield, the success in turning this battle around, hastens the day when the South Vietnamese will be able to undertake the total activity themselves," the President said. "I'm not going to put a date on it. I can only say the outcome of the present battle, how badly the North Vietnamese are hurt, will determine it, but I am very optimistic."

This would be in addition to his share of the $125,000 purse and 30 per cent of the receipts from the sales of television and film rights al ready agreed to.

The Icelandic federation was reported seeking a compromise. The Icelanders said they have already spent about $200,000 on preparations, and if they meet Fischer's demand they can't break even. The gate receipts probably will be considerable. Matches will be played three to six days a week in a sports palace with seats at $5 each. And the series is expected to last two months.

The Ulster Defense Association said the decision by the IRA's Provisional wing to remove three of the 40 barricades that close off the Roman Catholic Bogside and Creggan districts of Londonderry was "too little and too late." The IRA's provisional wing began observing a cease-fire at midnight Monday, but Catholic leaders say any attempt by the Protestants to blockade the Catholic districts would result in open civil war.
