Al Barkan, the AFL-CIO's chief political strategist, showed up at a union convention with a big "Dump Nixon's" button and said the main job of labor is to defeat the President in November. In other developments: In Jacksonville, Mrs. Ruthie May Deal, one of nine black Florida delegates backing Wallace, said she may resign because of "constant harassment" from crank callers, both whites and blacks. ciated Press quoted Rep.

James G. O'Hara, who helped draft the plan, as saying that because of the changes made by the Rules Committee, he no longer cared what happened to it. O'Hara said Wednesday he was misunderstood and that what he meant was that he did not care what happened to the Annunzio resolution because it would have little effect on what happens when the convention votes on the plan. The nonbinding caucus Vote was seen as further evidence of unhappiness among party regulars, over the direction of the party. There was a hint, however, delegates the past few months, were cautiously optimistic after winning their first concerted fight in the Credentials Committee a move to realign the Georgia delegation.

By a vote of 72 to 59, the panel upheld the McGovern claim of irregularities In selection of the delegation. In the California case, however, the McGovern forces will be without their 10 California supporters because delegates can't vote on challenges affecting their own states. In another development, a dispute proposal to revamp the Democratic National Committee to provide for more grass-roots participation was dealt a sharp rebuke by House Democrats. Meeting in a special caucus Wednesday, they voted 150 to 50 in favor of a move by Rep. Frank Annunzio, that decared the plan is "not in the best interests of the Demo The challenge involves California's winner-take-all primary which added 271 votes to the McGovem column after his June 6 victory there.

Supporters of Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, who ran second, and seven other candidates on the California ballot claim the delegates should be apportioned according to the popular vote to conform with party rules. Both sides predicted a close committee vote along political, rather than legal, lines. The test comes at a time McGovern claims he is just 20 votes short of the 1,509 needed for nomination.

The Associated Press delegate poll gives him 1,367.9, or 1,41.1 short of a majority. Humphrey, who trails a distant second, clung to the hope that delegates would turn to him as the candidate "best capable of beating Mr. Nixon." He blamed his own mistakes and a flawed selection process for wilting his canddiacy. Nevertheless, Humphrey said in an Associated Press in party. We have no intention of that at this time.

Certainly that decision would be the governor's and the governor's alone He said "there is no way" Wallace or his staff would bolt the convention. McGovern, meanwhile, wound up his five-state Southern swing with praise for several of the region's new, moderate governors as possible running mates and a vow to campaign against President Nixon in Dixie if he is the Democratic nominee. He said he asked Georgia Gov. Jimmy Carter "if he were available and he didn't vive any conclusive answer." He said he also would consider Govs. Dale Bumpers of Arkansas, Reubin Askew of Florida or John West of South Wallace's firm antibusing Carolina "an asset on the ticket." The McGovern forces, organizing for the California challenge with the same zeal and attention to detail they demonstrated in going after terview, "I believe that I am the candidate that can build the coalition that will defeat Mr.

Nixon." Wallace's campaign manager honed the outlines of the floor fight shaping up over the platform. Denouncing the draft prepared by the Platform Committee, Snider said, "We're going to Miami to fight it with everything we've got available to fight with. We felt like the people sent them a message. We felt like the Platform Committee didn't get the message." A committee-adopted plank describing busing as acceptable in cases where it both improves the quality of education and desegregates schools is the major irritant to Wallace forces. Snider would not say whether convention rejection of plank would launch the Albania governor into a third-party candidacy.

But he remarked, "I don't think that you can ever eliminate the possibility of a third By CARL P. LEUBSDORF AP Political Writer WASHINGTON (AP) Maverick Democrat George Wallace will stick with his party through the convention where he'll demand adoption of a platform echoing his views, says the Alabama governor's campaign manager. But after the convention, said Charles Snider, it would not be out of the question for Wallace to run once again as a third party presidential candidate, if the Democrats act as expected and reject him as their nominee. Snider would not speculate on Wallace's strategy if the party platform adopted next month at the Miami Beach convention displeases the governor. Snider talked with newsmen after conferring with Wallace at holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring, Md.

The party's frontrunner, Sen. George McGovern, waited today for the convention's Credentials Committee to resolve a challenge that could cost him nearly 150 delegate votes. Fischer Cancels surer Robert S. Strass said he will leave that post when his term expires after the convention to return to his Texas law practice and other interests. Senv Robert Dole, the Republican national chairman, said in a Chicago speech that the Democratic platform designed simply to allow McGovern to pursue his radical proposals and at the same time to make them seem to fit within the officially stated policy of one of the two major parties in this country." $1173 $306 Vl GAL.

PINT U.S. Chess Whiz Keeping 'Em Guessing jpll Now FIFTH NEW YORK(AP) Bobby Fischer's flight reservation to Reykjavik, Iceland, has been canceled again.

There are just a few more flights to iceland before the chess match is scheduled to start next Sunday. Will Fischer show up for the match? cratic party and needs further study.

In an earlier story the Asso move coverage rights had been sold. He said journalists would be allowed to transmit move-by-move reports only three times during each game and that newsmen would be required to sign a pledge to abide by the agreement to get accreditation. The Associated Press and United Press International said they were lodging protests against any curtailment of news coverage. Tele-Prompter Manhattan Cable TV and Channel 13-WNDT New York, which have announced plans for telecasts based on move by move wire service reports, also protested. The federation has sold U.S.

broadcast television rights to the American Broadcasting Company, which plans to use the film on its Wide World of Sports program. However, Roone Arledge, president of ABC Sports, said its coverage would be "condensed, limited," and he had no objections to the other organizations' move-by-move coverage. INCLUDES ALL TAXES Flight Aoa'm "He said he was going," grandmaster Larry Evans said Wednesday evening before boarding a plane for Iceland. Evans has known Fischer for years. However, Chester Fox, who has exclusive visual rights to the match, and his lawyer, Richard Stein, were not so definite.

And Fischer couldn't be reached for comment. A reporter asked Fox and Stein after they met with Fischer here Wednesday evening fare" program Is to get people off the public dole and into self sufficiency as job holders and tax payers. But nobody in government is making any predictions at this point that much of a dent will be made in the sharply rising number of families on welfare.

Why did Fox say too much? Stein answered that "unless you have firm commitments" there should be no comments. Stein added that although this is a big moment for Fischer, he has walked out on matches before.

Stein said he did ask Fischer Malcolm R. Lovell said the first year goal of the program for adults receiving Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) is to place some 200,000 of them in jobs or job training. But this won't offset the number of new people coming onto the AFDC rolls. Last year the rolls increased by 347,000 families to an all-time high of 2,935,000, and an additional 37,000 were added last February alone. Labor Secretary James D.

Hodgson told UPI there is no way to know how many new AFDC recipients will be added, "but we say that this program will markedly increase the opportunity for welfare recipients to gain training and gain entry into the world of work. That in itself should help." Workfare is a key part of President Nixon's overall welfare reform and family assistance plan still pending in Congress.

"I think he's in a good frame of mind," Fox said of Fischer. Stein said he had asked Fischer if he shouldn't be in Iceland early, to adjust to the climate. But Fischer replied that a climate change used to bother him, but it doesn't now. Fox has bought worldwide visual rights to the games from the Icelandic Chess Federation and plans to film the match. Fred Cramer, a friend of.

Fischer's and past president of the U.S. Chess Federation, said Sunday that Fischer objected to the type of lighting proposed for filming the match. On Sunday, Fischer canceled his flight to Iceland, without explanation. Cramer, who was to have flown with Fischer, went on to Reykjavik. Fox said Wednesday evening there are no lighting problems.

"If he has any problems he didn't confide in me," said Fox. Meanwhile, news agencies and television services were protesting restrictions on moveby-move coverage and in-play photographs of the contenders announced in Reykjavik on Wednesday by the organizers of the match.
