George McGovern Tuesday was assured the Democrat, ic presidential nomination as two of his chief rivals, Sens, Hubert 11. Humphrey and Ed. mund S. Muskie, bowed out of the race.

An Associated Press poll showed McGovern was a cinch to win the nomination on the first ballot. His victory actually was assured just before dawn when he recaptured 151 disputed California delegates. The few delegate votes he then needed to go over the top came his way as a tearful Humphrey stepped down, re. leasing his delegates to go where they wished. That way, of course, was to McGovern's rise to the top and Humphrey's fall.

A spokesman for George Mcany, AFLCK) president, 6aid; "If they had their preference we would have no president for the next four years." Attention quickly shifted to McGovern's choice for vice president. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts was nigh on the list of possible running mates, according to McGovern aides. Humphrey withdrew with a pledge to keep fighting for "so-cial justice" but without an endorsement of McGovern.

Mayor Richard J.

Reischling replaces Bob Donahue, who resigned from the coach ing job last month after seven successful years at the school. Reischling, beginning his fourth season of coaching, stepped right off the Chico State College campus to lead Gridley High to three straight winning seasons before coming to Petaluma.

In making the announcement Petaluma High principal Jerry Dadey noted, "We screened over 70 applicants for the job and decided that Mark had the ingredients necessary to make a good basketball coach. "We were looking for someone with varsity coaching experience and we were impressed by Mark's record and his teaching credentials." George C. Wallace of Alabama and Sen. Henry M. Jackson of Washington, stayed in the race.

Wallace's campaign manager said the crippled governor would attend the second con. vention session and speak in behalf of his party platform recommendations. Meanwhile, among organized labor, there was bitterness at to work with the Amateur Basketball Association of New South Wales in Australia, but had to by pass the travel opportunity because he and his wife, Terri, are expecting the first addition to their family sometime this summer. Both the Petaluma area and the Trojans' on-the-court success played a part in the coach's decision to apply for the local position. "I have been very aware of Petaluma's basketball success he explains.

"I realize the strength of the North Bay League. I've done some junior college officiating in both Santa Rosa and Napa and I know that this area produces a very high level basketball competition." The new coach is also happy to be returning to the Bay Area. "Coming to Petaluma," he says, "will give my wife and I a chance to live in the country and still be close to the Bay Area." While his primary concern will naturally be the Trojan varsity basketball program, Reischling is also anxious to settle into the Petaluma community. "I'm really looking forward to coming here," he says. I'm always anxious to help out with community program and I hope to be able to enhance the basket, ball program and Petaluma High through workinthecommunity." The new coach's basic basketball philosophy sounds extremely familiar to the principles that made the Trojans a NBL powerhouse under Donahue.

"My teams play pressure basketball," Reischling ex-plains. "We'll live by the press on defense and our offense will always try to keep pressure on the defense. I'm primarily concerned with the tempo and control of the game." Taking over as he is in mid summer and faced with the prospect of a family move, there (See page 12, column 1) on ie Ust.

The ordinance states its purpose is "to regulate and control the design and improvement of land for all purposes within the city of Petaluma in orderto preserve and enhance the health, safety, welfare and amenities of the community." It will tighten and add provisions to the existing ordinance and its essentially a listing of technical requirements for construction control.

The council, city manager, city attorney and planning director expressed differences of opinions over numerous aspects of the ordinance and the legal aspects of some points. Attorney Edouard Robert said that when the council approved a tentative subdivision map submitted by a developer it could later require very few changes on the final map. The council then entered into a long discussion on how it could regulate as much control as possible over the tentative map to insure that everything the developer had in mind would appear on it.

Following San Mateo he moved on to Chico State, where he played varsity basketball for two years, captaining the Wildcats in his senior season. He received his bachelor's degree in 1968 and the following year earned his teaching credential. In his first year at Gridley his team broke even at 10-10. "It was a building year," the new Trojan coach says. "We had a lot of juniors." With those juniors grown into seniors in 1971, Reischling took Gridley to a 14-7 record and second place in the West Side League.

Last year he was again second with a 16-6 overall record that ranked his team eighth among small schools in Northern California. In his three years at Gridley his teams have produced six all-league selections and one Superior-California pick.

Although Sonoma County's estimated $61.8 million budget will not be adopted until late August, the board of supervisors has whizzed through preliminary budgets and approved all but one list of expenditures for over 200 county departments.
