AP Crippled Alabama Gov. George Corley Wallace came smiling and claimed his moment of drama.

Accorded a long-awaited Democratic National Convention appearance to argue his platform views, Wallace was greeted by a lusty ovation and heard in an aura of Rood behavior. "I am here," said the man who bolted the Democrats in 1968, "because I want to help. "I want it to become again the party of the average citizen as it used to be and not the party of the pseudo-Intellectual snobbery that it has come to be." But white his familiar call for slashes in foreign aid and an end to "the senseless, asinine busing of little school cnildren" evoked cheers enough to flood the convention center, it was clear that the hearts and minds of most would not be swayed from Sen. George McGovern, the man to be nominated tonight. The loudest cheers arose expectedly from the Alabama, Michigan, Florida and Texas delegations, their "Wallace for President" banners held high and their hopes soon to be shattered in the subsequent balloting over the various planks tailored for McGovern.

But there were no walkouts, as in 1968, and few outbursts of bitterness. One Wallace delegate from Florida met his tearful wife in the lobby and said, "Honey, let's go have a beer and then get back to work. It's going to be a long night." It was Wallace's first appearance before a large crowd since he was shot in a laurel, shopping center on May 15. He was 15 pounds slimmer and his voice seemed weaker, but he looked fit and alert as he leaned into the podium. Television viewers could not tell that he was in a wheelchair, but they saw pictures of him being lifted onto the podium boxes.

The convention already had seen unprecedented security, but as Wallace's arrival neared, scores of additional police and Secret Service agents took up stations in the hall. Visitors and newsmen were cautioned to remain seated, and cameras and briefcases were searched repeatedly. While the governor's address lacked the old fire and was notably void of any personal attacks or threats to quit the party again, it was full of the same litany which marked his primary campaigning. There were a few boos, most of them aimed at his remarks over school busing, but they were effectively dampened by the cheers. weather Blackwell Is Teasdale Target Missouri Fair to partly cloudy, warm and humid through Thursday.

Precipitation, .06. ST. AP State Sen. Earl Blackwell came under heavy criticism Tuesday for his decision to withhold an antitax amendment from the November ballot in Missouri. The criticism, leveled during a press conference, came from Joseph Teasdale one of Blackwell's oppoents in the August Democratic primary for governor.

"He's using it as a bribe, and it's just not fair," Teasdale said. The petitions for Blackwell's proposed constitutional amendment to control tax increases specified that the issue was to be voted on at the Nov. 7 general election. But Blackwell ordered an aide not to file the pcuuons 6y the deadline last Thursday. Teasdale, the Jackson County prosecuting attorney, said Blackwell was using the petitions to have the issue placed on the ballot as his personal property "and he just can't do that." Blackwell said in a statement issued last week that the filing of the petitions would be dependent upon his election as governor.

"Tax reform will come if I'm elected," Teasdale said. He also disclosed his campaign expenditures and contributions. He said he has received $101,983 in contributions and has spent $19,148 of the total. McGovern Platform Is Approved by Democrats MIAMI BEACH, Fla. AP The Democratic National Convention gave Sen.

George McGovern today the kind of platform he sought, rebuffing a personal plea that Gov. George C. Wallace made from his wheelchair for a strikingly different party document. Reflecting in general the views of the man whose nomination now is assured, the platform calls for immediate withdrawal from Vietnam, closing of tax loopholes, replacing the welfare system with income grants and recognition of busing as one means of achieving quality education. The delegates stayed in session from p.m.

CDT Tuesday until 5:25 a.m. today to complete their work on the platform. The convention gave the Alabama governor, crippled by a would-be assassin's bullets, a two-minute ovation when he was wheeled to the podium. It listened respectfully to his firm-voiced argument that it should appeal to the "75 to 80 per cent of the American people who are against senseless, asinine busing of school children," and, in other respects as well, largely rewrite the draft platform. But later it shouted down, one by one, the Wallace proposals.

An even clearer demonstration of McGovern power came when the convention defeated a number of amendments, with broad-based support, but which--so the candidate's emissaries said--would be embarrassing in the campaign. These included proposed planks favoring liberal abortion policies, nondiscrimination against homosexuals, and major goals of the National Welfare Rights Organization-a $6,500 income guarantee for a family of four, rollback of rents, government takeover and repair of substandard housing. The majority version of the platform, adopted almost unchanged, ranges widely. Among its provisions are elimination of "unfair" Nixon administration wage-price controls, strengthened antitrust laws to hreak up conglomerates and to "deeon- centrate" near-monopolies-with the automobile industry cited as an example- emphasis on rights of women, curbs on the congressional seniority system and insistence on open meetings, stiff controls on handguns, abolition of capital punishment and firm control of military spending. The Wallace proposals that were rejected included a constitutional amendment for prayer in schools, affirmation of the right to bear arms, authority for states to impose capital punishment and provisions for election of some federal judges and periodic reconfirmation of others.

Eagleton Causes Stir in Missouri Democratic Ranks MIAMI BEACH. FLA. AP Reactions in the Missouri delegation ranged from elation to anger today on reports that the state's junior U.S.

senator, Thomas Eagleton, is one of several potential vice presidential running mates under consideration by Sen. George McGovern. Mcfiovern is expected to claim the Democratic nomination in balloting tonight, and likely will name his running mate Thursday. Kagleton said in an interview Tuesday lie had been told by McGovern staff members that he, Sen. Phillip Hart of Michigan and Sen.

Gaylord Nelson were under consideration. Eagleton generally is considered to be among those on most lists trickling out of McGovern headquarters. "I'd be very flattered and honored," Ragleton said. "But I'm not seeking it. One dees not campaign for it." Eagleton switched his allegiance Tuesday from Sen.

Edmund S. Muskie of Maine to McGovern after Muskie withdrew as a candidate. Eagleton's switch prompted some criticism within the Missouri delegation, and set the stage for a possible heavy Missouri vote tonight for Sen. Henry Jackson in his bid to halt a first-ballot McGovern victory. Barbara Mueller, 25, Crestwood, who supports McGovern.

said she had re-polled the Missouri delegation early today and found votes for Jackson, 2U4 for McGovern and six undecided. Gov. Warren E. Hearnes, who also had supported Muskie, was the first Missouri delegate to sign a petition brought around by a Jackson aide to place Jackson's name in nomination tonight. "He's still in the race," Hearnes said of Jackson.

Mrs. Mueller said she believes Eagleton "has an excellent chance" to be picked as McGovern's vice presidential running- male, if the South Dakota senator wins the nomination as expected. "He's from a border state, and he's been a Muskie delegate until today, so that satisfies some of those uncommitteds in our delegation." 1-oary Skinner, 31, Kansas City attorney, said lie doesn't know what Eagleton's ehlances are but agreed he would make a choice. "I hope he has a good chance," said Skinner. "I think he could do much to help (lie ticket.

He is much qualified. "His talents compliment those of McGovern. I think they would make a balanced ticket. I think with Eagieton on the ticket McGovern would carry Missouri." Taking strong exception was John A DeWitt, Gilmer City, 6th District chairman. "I think Eagleton has torn his pants for re-election in 1974, I really do," said DeWitt, "My people are pretty conservative, and most of them think he had no business jumping to McGovern because McGovern is going to be taken out.

"Eagleton has ruined his chances for reelection, and he's really torn the party apart in the state. If we have a landslide election for Nixon, Republicans will carry candidates in on his coattail. "My district, as a whole will not support Eagleton on a bid for re-election." Jim Farley, Farley, attorney, said he believes 'Tom Eagleton would be an attractive national candidate, but I wouldn't like to see him wasted on a McGovern ticket. It would take a major miracle for him to be elected. "I hope Tom waits for something better, because he's got a greater future.

But it's his decision, of course," said Farley. Charles Armour, Richmond, said, "I don't think they've got other men who they think are stronger that they want." Lee McKee, Joplin, said the Missouri delegates weren't talking too much among themselves about Eagleton's chances because "it's pure speculation." He said it would "make the state extremely proud." Another delegate from Joplin, Kermlt Lewis, declared, "I'll believe it when It's announced. School Board Shifts Funds to Finance Spartan Stadium The Moberly Board of Education authorized the shifting of 12 cents of the money in the school district incidental fund to the building fund at Its regular meeting at the Junior High School Tuesday night. This money was part of the $1.25 of school levy funds that a school board Is authorized to levy without voter approval. The reason for the readjustment of the money was to provide additional funds to forward the work on the Spartan Stadium at the High School.

It became apparent to the Board for the first time at last night's meeting that the money acquired by donations for Phase I of the stadium work (estimated at $30,000) was not going to stretch far enough to allow games to be played on the high school field this fall unless supplementary financial support was provided. The Board emphasized that no new taxation was Involved, but money on hand was released where it could lie used as needed. The original Idea was to set up Spartan Stadium for Ita first year use with the non-tax funds donated. Later Phases II and III would supply the approximately needed to flesh out tlio complex to its full growth. The Board acted upon the basis that the public had been promised games to bo played on the high school field this fnll and that the action taken would be publicly accepted on this basis.

Present at the meeting was Dr. Robert Mueller, who was general chairman of the drive to build the stadium with donated funds. When asked his opinion of the action taken by the board, Dr. Mueller signified that it was the opinion of his committee when the drive started that the $30,000 goal set for the drive would enable the stadium to be put to use without resort to other funds. The Board learned that $5,967.91 had been spent for work at the field already.

This subtracted from the $28,377 in the fund only left a little more than $20,000 to use. By priority allocation It was deemed necessary to protect the field with a chain length fence (estimated cost, over Expense of sewer and watcrllne was estimated at more than $4,000. The cost of bleachers depends upon a number of factors, the board learned, but the probable cost, whether ailng the junior college seats and mounting them at Spartan Staslum, or buying now scats outright and placing them, was estimated nt from $7,000 to $10,000. With that much of the monoy accounted for, there Is llltte money loft to provide lights. Originally the installation of lights had been estimated at $13,000.

After conferring with a Gateway Electrical Co. representative, Ray Rhinehart, the cost of lighting the field was adjusted upward in estimate. Before committing itself to lights, the Board members have scheduled a trip to the South Shelby High School stadium to observe the lights there and to compare costs of that installation.
