Jackson, pledged to remain in the race hours before the start of the second session of the nominating convention. His eyes brimming with tears, Humphrey bowed out at a news conference. "My withdrawal from the presidential race is a withdrawal of candidacy only," said the Minnesota senator, who first began running for the White House more than a decade ago. His move was almost dictated by McGovern's sweeping recapture Monday night of 151 disputed California delegates, putting him within about 25 votes for a first-ballot nomination. McGovern's display of organizational muscle came when he recaptured 151 disputed California delegates at the peak of a tumultuous session.

The South Dakota claimed his long, uphill battle was near success and that victory in Wednesday night's nominating session is "within our grasp." Sen. Hubert H.

The convention then voted to oust the powerful Chicago or in a move expected to have far-reaching consequences both throughout the party and in its fall campaign for the White House in the politically crucial state of Illinois.

Party leaders had feared the opening night session would run into the daylight hours. But the showdown votes on California and Illinois were followed by a series of compromises that quickly brought the opening session to a close alof few minutes before 5 a.m. EDT. In terms of the party's presidential fight, the California test was crucial, perhaps decisive. According to an Associated Press count, addition of the 151 California votes brought McGovern within about 25 votes of a nomination with other uncommitted delegates first expected to move his way.

It took two votes, both decided by larger than expected margins, to settle the California credentials dispute. First, the McGovern forces overturned by a vote of 1,618.28 to 1,238.22 the Credentials Committee's decision which had been engineered by backers of Humphrey, Sen. Edmund S. Muskie and Gov. George c.

Wallace to deny McGovern all the California votes. Then, by an even broader margin of 1,689.52 to 1,1162.23, the McGovern forces defeated an Florida backer Wallace to. challenge the parliamentary ground rules set by the presiding officer, DemoNational Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien.

Humphrey's statement was seen as a move 'to unify the Democratic party which had been torn by sometimes bitter disputes between McGovern supporters and the backers of Humphrey and other candidates. Humphrey has said consistently he will support and work hard for McGovern if the South Dakota senator wins the nomination.

Then seven minutes after Spassky began the game, Fischer appeared from offstage left. With long strides he sped to the black leather swivel chair placed behind the white side of the board.

Last- minute adjustments were being made on the stage of Reykjavik's sports hall.

The playing table was shortened, the green-and-white marble chessboard constructed for the fourth time, and the overhead lighting changed.

McGovern Gets Mild State Help By MARTIN E. BIEMER MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) "We made our quota!" a jubliant James Beatty cried after Indiana voted 33-43 early today to give all 271 California delegates to Sen. George McGovern.

We were only supposed to get 28," said Beatty, coordinator of McGovern's Indiana gates.

WASHINGTON (AP) The space agency disciplined the three Apollo 15 astronauts today for carryling 400 unauthorized postal covers to the moon and back last July and then turning 100 of them over to an acquaintance in West Germany. The 100 moon-stamped envelopes later apparently were sold to stamp collectors for 500 each, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said.

The other 300 unauthorized covers were confiscated and are impounded at NASA's Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston. NASA said after an investigation that astronauts David Scott, Alfred Worden and James Irwin "exercised poor judgment in their action." "Therefore they will be reprimanded and their actions will be given due consideration in their selection for future assignments," the agency said. Dr. George Low, NASA deputy administrator, commented: "Astronauts are under extreme stress in the months preceding a flight to the moon, and their poor judgment in carrying the unauthorized covers must considered in this light. "Nonetheless, NASA cannot condone these actions." The Apollo 15 crew, like those on earlier moon missions, had NASA's permission, within established procedures, to carry personal souvenir-type items, including some postal covers.

The permission was granted with the condition that the articles be retained by the astronauts or be given to personal friends. They were not to be used for commercial or fundraising purposes or personal gain, NASA said. Weather stake for the defending Russian.

For Fischer, it is a question of money and personal prestige, of proving his claim that he is the best in the world. London oddsmakers rated the lanky American the favorite to win the 24-game, two-month competition and capture more than $180,000 of the estimated $300,000 at stake. The winner gets five-eighths of the $125,000 put up by the Icelandic Chess Federation, or $78,125, plus another $75,000 of the $120,000 provided by London investment banker James Slater to persuade Fischer to end his holdout last week. Organizers calculate Fischer and Spassky will divide at least another $55,000 from the sale of television and film rights. Barometer ..................30.28 Rainfall (24 hrs, to noon) none Rel.
