a Page 2 Stevens Point (Wis.) Daily Journal Thursday, July 13, 1972 First-Ballot Win Climaxed Climb By McGovern By CARL P. LEUBSDORF MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) Sen. George McGovern, climaxhis dramatic rise from political obscurity by winning the first-ballot nomination of a divided Democratic party, was considering a broadening list of vice presidential possibilities today after Sen. Edward M.

Kennedy rejected his bid. Soon after the votes of Illinois sent McGovern's total soaring past the magic 1,509 mark in the jammed, brightly lit convention hall, and even before the official result had been announced, Kennedy phoned McGovern from Hyannis Port, to offer congratulations. During their 15-minute talk, McGovern offered Kennedy the No. 2 spot for the race against President Nixon. Kennedy rejected it "for very real' personal reasons," according to McGovern spokesman Richard Dougherty.

Earlier in the evening, Florida Gov. Reubin Askew, another prime prospect, told McGovern through aides he didn't want to be considered. McGovern aides said the nominee would make no announcement about a runningmate before midday. One close adviser said he felt the list of those under consideration was expanding as the victorious nominee sought the counsel of Sens. Hubert H.

Humphrey and Edmund S. Muskie, his defeated rivals whose withdrawal from contention a day earlier had signaled Wednesday night's triumph. Those being mentioned include five senators Thomas F. Eagleton of Missouri, Abraham A. Ribicoff of Connecticut, Philip A.

Hart of Michigan, Gaylord Nelson Wisconsin, Army Tribunal Weighs Fate Of Accused Slayer LOD, Israel (AP) An Israeli army tribunal began to- day to weigh the fate of accused Lod airport slayer Kozo Okamoto. He admitted his full responsibility earlier in the day. The court, comprised of three lieutenant colonels, will announce its verdict Monday. The court heard Okamoto, 24, admit full responsibility for the Lod attack that killed 28 persons and wounded 67 on May 30. Okamoto, in a long and disjointed statement, said he was a professional soldier in the Japanese radical Red Army organization which "will slay anyone who stands on the side of the bourgeoisie." The court once more rejected a defense request for a psychiatric examination for Okamoto.

Through a translation garble, some reporters heard that the court had actually granted a sanity hearing. "Ours is a world revolution," Okamoto told the court. Nixon, Dobrynin Talk In General SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (AP) Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin, an overnight guest at a private home near the Western White House, pre-, pared to return to Washington today after meeting with President Nixon. The chief executive, the ambassador and Henry A.

Kissinger, Nixon's foreign policy adviser, met for about an hour and a half Wednesday in the presidential office. "The discussion involved a general review of U.S.-U.S.S.R. relations during the post-summit period," the White House said. "It covered a number of international and bilateral topics." and Walter F. Mondale of Minnesota; two governors, Ohio's John J.

Gilligan and Wisconsin's Patrick Lucey, and labor leader Leonard Woodcock. Within minutes after clinching the nomination, McGovern received congratulations and promise of support from all the candidates had conquered, except Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace. But labor leaders in particular remained bitterly opposed to the senator, as did many delegates.

One sign in the hall read: "McGovern Will Bomb-in November." Earlier in the evening, as the Democratic National Convention proceeded through its rites of nomination, McGovern left his penthouse suite at a hotel up the beach to tell antiwar demonstrators he stood by his pledge for total U.S. withdrawal from Indochina. "I'm not shifting my position on any of the fundamental stands I've taken," said McGovern, ringed by security agents as he faced the noisy, shoving demonstrators who had occupied the lobby six hours earlier. After. two straight all-night sessions, the climactic round of nominating speeches proceeded swiftly, with little semblance of the old-time hoopla and floor demonstrations.

At last the roll call was reached and, as the clock struck midnight, McGovern's nomination was assured. Bedlam burst through the vast hall as supporters celebrated the victory of the man whose youthful legions had humbled the party's mighty. Forty five Chairman minutes later, Lawrence F. O'Brien announced the final totals, the hall again went wild. Dr.

Join The Point Area Bus Co-op Visit our display in front of Campbell's during Crazy Days Analysis By Chess Expert Jubilant McGovern workers, their long quest against what seemed overwhelming odds crowned at last with success, kissed and hugged one another. A third roar went up five minutes later as O'Brien declared McGovern the party's nominee and designated committee to inform him of his designation.

The committee is headed by Ribicoff, who nominated McGovern in a losing quest four years ago and again Wednesday night as "a candidate tuned to the challenges of the When the roll of states was concluded, McGovern had 1,728.35 votes 219 more than he needed. After many votes had been changed, he wound up with 1,864.95. Behind him, in order, came Sen. Henry M. Jackson, who inherited much of Humphrey's labor support, with 486.65; Wallace 377.50; Rep.

Shirley Chisholm 101.45; former Gov. Terry Sanford of North Carolina 69.5; Humphrey 35; Rep. Wilbur D. Mills of Arkansas 32.8; Muskie 20.8; Kennedy 10.65; Rep. Wayne L.

Hays of Ohio former Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy of Minnesota and Sen. Walter F. Mondale of Minnesota 1.

As he sat in his hotel suite, surrounded by family, friends and aides, the victorious McGovern took phone calls from Kennedy, Humphrey and Muskie. Jackson sent a telegram pledging support. Mrs. Chisholm, the first black woman ever nominated for president, took the rostrum to pledge a coast-to-coast campaign to oust President Nixon. Wallace, whose supporters sat silently while the McGovern backers whooped it up in the hall, remained in seclusion at his hotel.

Earlier in the day, his campaign manager, Charles Snider, said chances of a repeat of the governor's 1968 third-party race for president were growing "stronger and stronger every minute." But Dolph Briscoe of the Texas delegation said Wallace had told him there would be no third-party movement in 1972. Although his rivals were falling into line, one major holdout was the barons of organized labor who fought drive for the nomination to the bitter end. I. W. Abel, president of the United Steel Workers union, seconded Jackson's nomination by denouncing McGovern's labor record and warning of the risk in a McGovern nomination.

Ribicoff declared, however, that McGovern "will lead the Democratic party to a great victory" in November and added: "If I were a candidate for public office this year, I would want the enthusiastic legions of McGovern workers ringing doorbells for me, too." And those legions were on hand for the night of triumph. In the senator's hotel, about 250 volunteers erupted in a loud cheer as the senator's total went over the top. They chanted, "Beat Nixon! Beat Nixon!" In hall, the Illinois announcement prompted chants of "We want McGovern! We want McGovern!" In a box to the right of the rostrum, Mrs. McGovern beamed, kissed her daughter and said, "It's unbelievable." Two More Added To Highway Toll By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Two deaths Wednesday brought Wisconsin's 1972 highway toll to 554 compared with 488 on this date last year. Charles R.

Bueger, 16, of Milwaukee, was killed Wednesday night when his bicycle collided with a car on the city's South Side. Dale Rasmussen, 44, of Spring Green, was killed Wednesday when his car collided with another on Wisconsin 17 north of Rhinelander.

(AP: Wirephoto via cable from Betten) Lucey Acts Like Candidate MIAMI BEACH, Fla.

(AP) Wisconsin Gov. Patrick J. Lucey, vigorously shaking hands with almost any one in his vicinity, could have been back on the campaign trail. He wasn't but he wanted to be- the Democratic candidate for vice president of the United States. Lucey, wearing a blue blazer, striped slacks and white shoes, showed up at Miami Beach Convention Hall Wednesday night with his wife Jean and an old family friend, former ambassador John Gronouski, eagerly talking with well-wishers among the convention-goers.

Lucey, scholarly looking 54- has been active in politics since the 1940s. He, along with Sens. Gaylord Nelson and William Proxmire, were instrumental in building the Wisconsin Democratic party into an effective organization more than two decades ago. Some insiders said they felt that Lucey, a Catholic with good labor backing, would provide balance for McGovern, a Methodist who has encountered opposition from some labor leaders, including AFL-CIO president George Meany. possibility of a Lucey candidacy first cropped up seriously last week when the governor told newsmen he would not turn down an offer for a chance to run for the secondhighest office in the land.

"The history of American politics shows that no one has turned down the nomination," Lucey said at that time. As the convention nominations drew near, and Lucey achieved new respect for his role in the McGovern effort, it became increasingly obvious the governor was actively seeking the vice presidency. Asked Wednesday night if he had become "tired" governor and if he wanted: bigger challenge on the national scene, Lucey replied, "I'm not bored with my present job. I am pleasantly surprised that we have been able to accomplish as much as we have in 18 Gronouski's presence at Lucey's side carried added impact INVITATION TO BID EDGEWATER HAVEN NURSING HOME Wood County Port Edwards, Wisconsin 54469 Sealed Proposals will be received at Edgewater Haven up to 3:00 P.M.

VAN OFFEREN, N.H.A. Editor's Note: Following is an analysis of the conclusion of the opening Fischer-Spassky chess match, written for The Associated Press by Isaac Kashdan, an international chess grandmaster. By ISAAC KASHDAN International Grandmaster LOS ANGELES (AP) When Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky resumed play in the second session of their first match game, it was clear to the experts that Spassky should win. Fischer continued the game Wednesday for an additional 15 moves, then resigned. He might have carried on for a few more moves, or resigned earlier.

There was no longer any hope for a draw. Spassky's task was not particularly difficult. He had gained a bishop late in the first session due to an error by Fischer. Fischer had two pawns as compensation for the bishop, but they were separated and weak. The pawns soon fell as a result of Spassky's good coordination of his king and bishop.

3rd Party Bid Not Expected MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) The chance that Gov. George C. Wallace will launch a thirdparty campaign for the presidency appeared today to be diminishing despite his campaign manager's hint to the contrary. Wallace was expected to define his plans more clearly in a statement later today.

A spokesman said the Alabama governor probably would return to a much-repeated position that he has no plans for a thirdparty bid but would not flatly rule it out. Hangover Help LONDON (AP) Doctors: at Middlesex Hospital have been investigating how to avoid that morning-after feeling. Their conclusions: Stick to clear alcohols such as gin, white rum or vodka in preference to red wine, brown rum and whiskey, which are heavier in hangoverinducing elements. They also recommend a tablet of fructose or fruit sugar while going home from the party. Signs NEW YORK (AP) Project Health, the new program which teaches businessmen how to recognize and avoid potentially serious health problems, reports that potential alcoholics display five early on-the-job signs.

They are higher-than-average charges on expense accounts; early arrival and-or late departure from company functions where there's free liquor; marital problems, divorce, or separation; psychiatric help for children, and high rate of illness or accidents in the family. There were then two courses open to Fischer. Unfortunately for the American, there was no real hope with either one. The one he chose was to attack Spassky's rook pawn. Spassky had no objection, going after Fischer's queen-side pawns as the quickest winning method.

Spassky would free his one remaining pawn and in a few moves advance it to queen. Whenever Fischer's pawn moved up, the long-ranging bishop was there to hold it. The alternative course for Fischer was to retreat his king to QB1 or thereabouts to defend his remaining pawns. Curiously enough, this would have led to a draw if Spassky's pawn had been on R5 instead of R4. In that case, all the pawns on the queen side would have been blocked and immobile.

Fischer's king could never have been driven off, with a constant danger of stalemate. This is an unusual, littleknown position, in which white cannot force a win, despite the fact that he has position. Fortunately for Spassky, the one square between the pawns can be utilized. In the game, had Fischer chosen the retreat indicated, Spassky would stalemate the black king, forcing the pawn to move. He would then release the stalemate with his bishop and move to capture the pawn.

With his second pawn free, Spassky would win routinely. Obituary among convention delegates because the former ambassador to Poland had worked actively in the unsuccessful presidential campaign of Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey against McGovern. Gronouski was ambassador under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson.

He has known Lucey for years. Gronouski, dean of the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas, said he came to Miami Beach when it appeared that Lucey might win the party's vice presidential nomination. "I think he's got a good chance and I wanted to be here for it," Gronouski said. Asked if he thought a McGovern-Lucey ticket might be "too Gronouski said he believed television had reduced the need for parties to select candidates on a geographical basis.

Besides, he said, such a ticket would combine a senator and a governor who have handled problems i in different areas. Wisconsin Delegates Refuse to Ride MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) Unwilling to climb on the winning bandwagon, 12 Wisconsin delegates refused early today to vote for the Democratic party's new presidential nominee, Sen. George McGovern. The split created by the withdrawal of Sen.

Hubert H. Humphrey carried over into convention balloting. Only one 13 original Humphrey delegates, Harvey Kitzman of Milwaukee, cast his ballot with the winning candidate. Five voted for Rep. Shirley Chisholm, four for Humphrey, and three for Sen.

Henry M. Jackson. Kitzman's switch to McGovern gave him 55 of Wisconsin's 67 votes. McGovern carried seven of Wisconsin's nine congressional districts in the April 4 primary. Humphrey took two districts--the seventh and ninth-and had 13 delegates before he bowed out of the running Tuesday.

When Illinois put McGovern over the 1,509 votes needed for the nomination, Wisconsin backers joined in a demonstration representing the climax of months of work by his delegates. "We were dancing and hugging each said Sue Herbst of Madison. "Some of us had tears in our eyes." Gov. Patrick J. Lucey, the other co-chairman, was getting into full gear in his bid for the vi e-presidential nomination when McGovern captured the top spot.

Despite Lucey's strong support of McGovern, there remained much opposition to the South Dakotan's nomination through the balloting. Here is how the 12 antiMcGovern delegates voted: For Chisholm: Lloyd Barbee and Norman Carter, both of Milwaukee; Elizabeth Hawkes, Washburn; Janis Kipperhan, Chippewa Falls; Tony Radosevich, Beloit. For Humphrey: Keven McDivitt, Jennifer Doar, Adelaide O'Brien, all of Milwaukee; John Anderson, Stevens Point. For Jackson: Joseph Mc Gowan, Washburn; Charles Rand, Spooner; Rosella Wartner, Wausau.
