In handing down the ruling, the judges dismissed State Reps.

The judges ruled they should appeal the state Supreme Court's decision upholding the plan to the U.S.

Supreme Court rather than starting a new case in the federal courts. Unittd Prut liritnullwil JACKSONVILLE A three-judge federal panel threw out four challenges to Florida's legislative reapportionment plan yesterday, including a challenge based on the alleged dilution of black voting power in Broward County denying claims that the plan was unconstitutional. "It is very disappointing," said Mrs. Zebedde Wright of Fort Lauderdale, one of those who filed the challenge from Broward County, "but we still feel that our claim was valid." The challenge from Broward County claimed that the reapportionment plan had split the black community and thereby had weakened their political voice. The judges issued the biief oral ruling after deliberating for 30 minutes following three hours of arguments on the cases.

A written order will be filed later in the cases.

Kirkland of the Florida Department of Corrections identified the dead man as Thomas Frederick Morgan, 22, of Miami, sentenced in January to serve 6 staff of the airborne division making the advance from the northeast. Eight South Vietnamese also were wounded when the helicopter crashed outside Quang Tri. The Saigon command said its troops still had not entered Quang Tri, but paratroopers closing on the northeastern sector of city reported they engaged the enemy only 500 yards from the city limits. They claimed to have killed 18 North Vietnamese and said their own casualties were light.

Associated Press correspondent Richard Blystone reported from the task force headquarters that government marines fought a series of engagements less than three miles from the city. KILLED 69 ENEMY The marines claimed they killed 69 enemy and found the bodies of 48 killed by air strikes." They reported one enemy tank, four trucks and a captured U.S.-make 105mm howitzer were destroyed. Marine casualties were put at three killed and 18 wounded. Paratroopers within a mile of the southern and southeastern edges of the city were shelled and engaged by enemy troops but claimed they killed 19 enemy while losing four killed and four wounded, a spokesman said. Authoritative say the South Vietnamese strategy in the counter offensive is to engage the enemy wherever possible outside the city while laying siege to Quang Tri itself with artillery and air strikes.

In this manner, the sources say, the government forces hope to wear down the city's defenders without becoming bogged down or, trapped in bloody, high-casualty street fighting against well-entrenched enemy troops. Far to the rear of the task force, North Vietnamese gunners fired between five and 10 rounds of 122mm artillery into Hue hitting south of the Perfume River for the first time in nearly two weeks of almost daily shellings. Two of the shells landed near an American advisers' compound, but no U.S. casualties were reported. A government military spokesman in Hue said one Vietnamese was killed and 13 were wounded.

But Gudmundur Thorarins-son, president of the Icelandic Chess Federation, said his match committee had decided to reject a protest filed by Fischer against the award of the second game of the match to the Soviet champion when the temperamental American failed to show up. "If it all boils down to cameras or no cameras, I guess we'll try to remove them," Thorarinsson said.

The third game is set for tomorrow, but chess sources say it may not come off Father William Lombardy, Fischer's second, discounted rumors that the American chessmaster was flying home. "I haven't heard anything. about that and I hope it's not true," Lombardy said. "Everything is still up in the air. We have settled nothing so far." The American challenge refused to play in the second game Thursday unless all the cameras were removed.

He said they distracted him. When Fischer did not show up within the alloted one hour to make his first move, judge Loth a Schmid announced that Fischer had forfeited the game and that Spassky was leading the match 2-0. Fischer filed a protest against the decision and against the presence of cameras in the hall. The match committee met for two hours yesterday be-' fore announcing the protest had been rejected. The committee said its decision had no bearing on the presence of the cameras.

"I want to do everything I can to be a reconciling and unifying force in the Democratic party," McGovern told the national committee. He said he believes O'Brien will play a part in the cam-, paign ahead.

O'Brien urged party unity in a positive campaign for the White House. "I would not want anyone in this room to construe my departure now as a departure from the goal I have held," said O'Brien, who broke in as a top campaigner for the late President John F. Kennedy, served two terms as national chairman and was postmaster general during the administration of President Lyndon B. Johnson. O'Brien presided also over the Democratic national convention that nominated McGovern, and the nominee called it "the best convention of any political party in the history of this country."

Responding to a question, Connally said, "I will not support" the Democratic ticket "for the first time in my life." He said Nixon has done "a great job" and displayed "great courage" as he "transformed the foreign policy of his nation." Connally said he finds the South Dakota senator's views "all too isolationist in character and also too radical in character." He said McGovern is sincere in those views, but that he personally finds himself "more in accord with President Nixon's views." He singled out for criticism McGovern's pledge to bring home all American troops and prisoners from Vietnam within 90 days after his inauguration. "Obviously, a president of the United States has no power to bring home prisoners of war" until Hanoi is ready to release them, he said. Connally said McGovern's end-the-war pledge was "an unfair statement" which "sabotages the efforts" of Nixon to negotiate an end to the war. war.

Thomas Phillip Michaud of Essex, was taken into custody by FBI agents Thursday night after appearing before a national television audience on the floor of the convention. He was taken to the Broward jail, explained an FBI agent, because Broward County has made arrangements for Navy and Marine deserters to be held at the jail until they are picked up by the military, usually in a matter of days.
