Last year's only double event winner in the preliminaries Barbara Jo Ivey of Winter Park went on to win the state title. She was on hand Saturday to turn the crown over to the new Miss Florida.

As the near midnight grand climax approached, judges were pondering which of Florida's most beautiful and personable girls would become the queen and her runner-up court. Also to be selected was Miss Congeniality, not necessarily one of the finalists.

Rehn-quist denied Saturday a petition by the ssful challengers to Chicago Mayor Richard J.

In turning down the petition, Rehnquist noted that the Supreme Court is in recess until October and The McGovern Myth: Pg.

"I SIMPLY do not believe that it is the same type of case which has caused the court to convene in special session on previous occasions," Rehnquist said in his opinion. The action meant that the challenged delegates will go back to state court and fight the decision at the state level. Meanwhile, a bomb threat interrupted a hearing of the Democratic Convention Credentials Committee, forcing members to call an early recess for dinner.

The threat turned out to be a prank, police said. THE CREDENTIALS committee voted Friday to unseat Daley and his 58 followers and to replace them with a challenging group. At least 40 of the insurgents are expected to support the frontrun-ner, Sen. George S. McGovern.

But he called the measure fiscally irresponsible and said it will cause a $3.7 billion deficit that must be offset by cuts in other programs. The Social Security measure, the biggest money increase in the program's history, was tied to a Related Stories, Pg. 2-A bill extending the nation's $450-billion debt ceiling through Oct.

31 of this year. THIS LINKAGE, sponsored by Democrats in Congress but voted for by most Republicans, made it impossible for Mr. Nixon to veto the Social Security boost without killing the increase in the debt ceiling. Had the ceiling not been increased it automatically would have dropped to $400 billion, thus crippling the government fiscally. Among his serious objections, Mr.

Nixon said in a White House statement shortly before departing for a two-week stay in California, is that this set the stage for what could be "a frantic, election-eve scramble to attach a whole collection of seemingly attractive, politically popular but fiscally irresponsible riders" to the next debt-ceiling bill. He said he is placing Congress on notice now that if this occurs and offseting cuts in other programs cannot be made, "then I will not hesitate to exercise my right and responsibility to veto." CONGRESS RUSHED the measure Friday just before recessing until July 17 and made it possible for the Social Security payments to be reflected in checks received Oct. 3 a month before the election. The Social Security provisions also provide for future automatic increases linked to cost-of-living rises. And the bill includes prompt tax refunds for those who suffered from the Hurricane Agnes and South Dakota flood disasters.

Mr. Nixon hailed both of these features. He said the automatic cost-of-living increase "constitutes a (Continued On Page 2-A, Col. 1) pected to arrive this morning. Fatigue, Davis said, is an impediment to playing, and he pleaded that Fischer was not medically fit to start the match.

ASKED BY Schmid why the challenger had not arrived earlier, Davis contended reporters had spotted Fischer at Kennedy International Airport on Thursday night and had prevented him from leaving.
