Most of the government casualties were reported in the helicopter landing of several hundred South Vietnamese mate, and that government infantrymen found bodies of 55 North Vietnamese killed earlier by air strikes two miles south of the outpost. Their own losses were given as two killed and five wounded. In the fighting around Quang Tri, the North Vietnamese seized the initiative in one battle.

International a MIAMI BEACH Here is the Democratic national convention platform at a glance: Jobs, income and dignity A full employment economy; tax reform directed at more equitable distribution of income and wealth; federal income assistance for welfare families.

Rights, power and social justice Free expression and privacy; child advocacy; national health insurance; ratification of the equal rights amendment; rights of poor people, servicemen, consumers, youth, veterans, American Indians. Cities, communities, counties and the environment Support of general revenue sharing with use of federal income tax; overhaul of federal housing policy; support for new towns. Education Support for goal of desegregation as. a means to achieve equal access, to quality education for all children. Busing is one of many tools for desegregating schools.

Crime, law and justice Equally stringent law enforcement for rich and poor; drug addiction and alcoholism are health problems; abolishing capital punishment as an ineffective deterrent to crime. i Farming and rural life Farm income must be improved; price ceilings on agricultural products will be resisted until farm prices reach 110 per cent of parity; support for family-sized Foreign policy Immediate and complete with-; drawal of all U.S. forces in Indochina; cessation of all action in Southeast Asia and return of all prisoners held by North Vietnam and its allies; adequate military forces for deterrence, but reject use of the strategic arms limitation agreement as excuse "for wasteful and dangerous acceleration of military unequivocal support of Israel's "right to exist within secure and defensible steps should be taken to establish regular diplomatic relations with China; relations with Cuba should be' reexamined.

One Wallace delegate from Florida met hi3 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 ap-pearance before a large crowd since he was shot in a Laurel, shopping center on May IS. 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. TIGHT SECURITY 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. The governor's wife, Cornelia, appeared tense as Wallace was being wheeled to the podium. But after his 12-minute address had ended smoothly and amicably, she smiled and confided to reporters that "he's been waiting to come he's very excited.

I think he's very pleased that he can be here." 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. A quieter protest was leveled by the entire California delegation, which refused to rise during the ovations at his arrival and departure.

George McGovern of South Dakota as the Democratic, presidential candidate. There will be the formality of nominating Aiabama Gov. George Wallace, the favorite of 75 diehard Florida delegates, but there was no expectation hs would win. "A big hurricane might come along and blow all his McGovernites out in the ocean," said delegation chairman Bill France. COMMITTED SUICIDE Delegation vice chairman Fitzhugh Powell, reacting to the defeat of Wallace's minor-" ity platform, said the Democrats have "just committed suicide." "The Democratic party 'realizes that we were here, but having a closed mind they didn't listen to the message which they will receive again in November," Powell added.

Another delegation vice Aubrey Vincent, said the party was founded on "principles of blood, sweat and tears, but McGovern sup-' porters seem to want a party based on sex, pot and queers." The Wallace platform crumbled around the Florida dele--gation, even though the, 'candidate himself was hoisted to the podium in his wheelchair1 in a dramatic last minute ap-. peal for IN JEOPARDY He' said any' platform 'that doesn't confront the' issuot busing "and confront it jn the, right manner is going to be in' jeopardy as far as success is concerned in November." But the busing plank and seven other items in the Wallace minority platform were) shouted down by the convention without a roll call. The Wallace group, clad in red-white-and-blue outfits and decorations and waving Wallace placards, was swamped by the hordes of McGovern delegates. Dan Warren, a Florida delegate from Daytona Beach, presented a futile convention floor argument for a Wallace plank calling for election of federal judges. "The Supreme Court is the real power in our government and yet it answers to no one," Warren said.

"We do not believe that the American peo-. pie will continue to accept leg-islation from radical court decrees." United Preii InUrnalioml REYKJAVIK, Iceland -Caught in a hopelessly drawn game, temperamental American challenger Bobby Fischer took a chance to bring some life into his first World Chess Championship game. In that moment, soft-spoken and mild-mannered Boris Spassky proved why he is the world champion in the noblest of games. (Continued from Page One) ated through a second marathon night session in a relaxed atmosphere after Monday night's sharp credentials battles, Wallace provided a dramatic highlight -with an appeal for far-ranging tax reform and a denunciation of "the senseless asinine busing of little school children." A mighty roar went up and red -white -and -blue placards waved from the pro-Wallace delegates as Wallace was carried in a wheelchair to the po, dium. Other delegates stood in respect to the governor, partially paralyzed when shot down while campaigning in Laurel, May 15.

The strictest security of the convention was in force. APPEALS FUTILE But Wallace's appeals were doomed to failure as the convention worked to approve a platform, tailored largely to the liberal views of McGovern. Wallace, holding just a few hundred delegates, and Sen Henry M. Jackson of Wash-, ington, with under 100, vowed to stay in the presidential race although McGovern's assured first-ballot strength shot past the 1,509 votes needed to Win- Some labor leaders who had supported Humphrey including I. Abel, president of the Unihted Steeiorers Union, threw their' support to Jackson.

Terry Sanford. House Speaker Carl Albert will nominate Mills. 1 DELEGATE TAB With much of the Humphrey and Muskie strength now listed in the undecided column, the. Associated Press count gave McGovern 1,590.75 votes as the day of his nomination dawned. The total needed for nomination is 1,509.

Wallace trailed with 378, the uncommitted total stood at 850.6 and the remainder were scattered. McGovern spent much of yesterday in his 17th-story penthouse in the Doral Beach Hotel. "He's working tm his acceptance speech and, I dare say, thinking about the vice presidential thing," spokesman Richard Dougherty said. The senator met with various groups during the day, including relatives of a half-dozen American prisoners of war in Southeast Asia. McGovern promised to stand by American prisoners, a pledge that marked what aides said was "an elaboration" of his Southeast Asia policy.

CHANGES A BIT Until now, the senator has talked only of withdrawing all U.S. forces from Indochina within 90 days of the inauguration, halting bombing and military support of the South Vietnamese government headed by President Nguyen Van Thieu. In a statement, however, he said he would keep U.S. troops in Thailand and naval forces in the Gulf of Tonkin off the Vietnamese coast until the prisoners were freed. But he added is "fully confident there would be no such need," that the U.S.

withdrawal would bring prompt freedom for the prisoners. In the brightly lit Convention Hall, meanwhile, the delegates went through the con- Frisco Names Woo As 'First' Jnlted Press International SAN FRANCISCO Richard Woo, 23, has become the first permanent Chinese-American sheriff's deputy of San Francisco County.

O'Brien the convention's permanent chairman and adopting party rules, including one that bans winner-take-all starting in 1976.

It was such a contest that stirred the California credentials fight. I WOMEN TO PRESIDE The party also decided that, starting with 1976, a woman will preside over every other national convention. Yvonne Braithwaite Burke, a black California state legislator and congressional hopeful, is vice chairman of this year's convention. 'The most controversial rec ommendation of the rules committee, a revolutionary new charter that would bring the party under increased control of grass-roots Democrats, -remains to be scheduled. There are indications the rules committee will decide to put it off until later to avoid -more bitterness at this convention.

Askew, who delivered the convention's keynote speech, was interrupted with a loud roar when he said funds needed to meet the nation's medical needs were being used for "a war that should have ended" a long time -ago. His speech also was filled with praise for what he called the party's open processes and criticism of secrecy in President Richard Nixon's Republican "administration. NO HYPOCRISY "We can prove that hypocrisy has no place in the Democratic of the 1970s," said. "We must stop talking about an American dream and start listening to the dreams of Americans." Referring to the "coalition of protest" in this year's Democratic primaries, Askew saids "We can give that coalition of protest a leader, and we can stand by that leader regardless of whom he or shi may be." McGovern's forces had given dramatic demonstration early yesterday in the California credentials fight that they had control of the convention. Later in the morning, Humphrey became the first of his major rivals to drop from the race.

TEARS EVIDENT Tears brimming in his eyes, Humphrey abandoned a 12-year quest for the White House, saying his name would not be presented when president nominations are made tonight. i "But my withdrawal from the presidential race is a i a a 1 of candidacy only," he said. "It is not a withdrawal of spirit or deter-mination to continue the battle that I've waged all of my life for equal opportunity, for all of our people, for social justice for this nation." He said he will "do my level best" to help unite the party against Nixon. Several hours later, Muskie, the onetime front-runner whose fall in the long primary campaign paralleled McGovern's rise, dropped out, too. 2 With Guns At McGovern Hotel Nabbed The Associated press MIAMI BEACH Two men were taken into custody today by Secret Service agents and the FBI outside Sen.

George McGovern's hotel. Two pistols were taken from their car. Both men were black, and wore jeans. They were taken into custody shortly after Mc-Govern concluded a meeting on the 17th floor in the pent- house suite of the Doral Beach Hotel with six Democratic governors.

"He took a chance to win a chance," said Danish grandmaster Jens Eneveoldsen. DISPLEASED "We will never know until Fischer tells us if he does," said another international grandmaster.

Fischer obviously was displeased with his game. After the adjournment he angrily demanded a meeting with the Icelandic organizers to complain 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 knowledgeable observers said they felt the audience was more quiet than is normal at top chess games. Crime Rate Growth Cut To 1 Pet.
