By the end of this busy week McGovern should be within a handful of guaranteed victory and the Kennedy 72 stickers which appeared yesterday on the desks of TJayor Daley's delegates at the rules committee meeting were a belated flourish of the only card which conceivably might have trumped McGovern's. However, the new and more democratic rules for electing delegates this year have released forces which the McGovern organisation is finding difficult to control.

Many of the people we saw during the primary campaigns with their buttons proudly proclaiming "I am a grass root" have come to town and will dominate the convention hall in Miami Beach. A few of them are highly motivated activists dedicated to busting the old Democratic Party wide open the mass of them are inexperienced first-timers, raw apprentices in the political art of compromise. In accordance with the new rules, the young, the female, and the the rules for a convention, checking the delegates1 credentials and up what we wovid ejtll. party manifesto, known as the platform, is a dullish business conducted behind closed doors. But this year these activities are lhardly less important than the main function of the convention which as to nominate a candidate for the Presidency of the US.

What happens da the next few days in Washington can have a powerful bearing on the capacity of the Democratic Party to unite behind the candidacy of Senator George McGovern and on his chances of beaiting President Nixon in November. The Senator is all the time edging nearer to the magic figure of 1,509 delegates lie needs to make sure of the nomination on a first ballot. At a press conference with Mack congressional leaders tomorrow he is expected to announce the capture of between 45 and 100 hitherto uncommitted black delegates in exchange for his support for a programme of black payprice plan By IAN AITKEN The Government is preparing for a drive for a package deal with the TUC and CBI on pay, prices, industrial arbitration, and conciliation in the wake of its decision to float the pound. The heat is on to achieve an entirely new voluntary structure in return for the Government's demonstration that it is willing to put parity of sterling. It is possible that the launching pad be the next meeting of the National Economic Development Council early next month.

The average American trade unionists has the misfortune to be an adult white male. Yesterday the party's rules committee, dominated by the McGovernites, passed a radical scheme for converting the Democratic Party to what it has never been before, a nationally organised party with a strong central leadership, an anaaal policy making conference and a card-carrying membership.

The scheme will cause the most tremendous row when it is put before the convention and McGovern headquarters are busy considering a more moderate plan which would include delaying any reform for a t-uple of years. But this did not stop the rank and file yesterday from amending the plan to allow more participation. They increased the weight of grassroots representation in the central organs of the new party.

He had served in the RAF in Wrest Germany, and until two years ago was employed by the British consulate-general an Stuttgart. The Consul, Miss Eileen Scott, said he was a respected and popular member of the British community.

Miss Scott called at his flat shortly before lunch today for a drink after an invitation on Friday. When she arrived the flat was full of police and she was told that Mr Macleod had been shot. Police refused to release information, tat the man who lives in the flat below said he heard a commotion and shots from Mr Macleod's flat at 6 30 am. He went to investigate but was told by police to return to his own apartment. A large force of police was in the street outside.

Later it was reported that Mr Macleod rented a second flat in Stuttgart, the key of which had been found in the possession of Gudrun Eusslin, a leading member of the Baader-Meinhof group, who was arrested in a Hamburg boutique more than two weeks ago. Ensslin smuggled a letter out of prison to Ulrike Meinhof, a leader of the group, who has since also been arrested it is said that the letter referred to a man called "Mac." Police were said today to have found arms and explosives in the second flat.

The meeting In Paris also seems to ihave brought back to the surface the continuing but recently subterranean conflict between France and West Germany dver policy on currency and. the conduct of the EEC's financial affairs. The West Germans, among other Common Market countries, are known to favour a system whereby all the currencies of the enlarged EEC could float colilvely against the dollar. The French Insist that that would only assist the United States to undercut Europe in the increasingly difficult struggle for export markets by producing an effective devaluation of. the dollar.

There are other worries about a collective float, particularly at what rate should the pound be fixed within the tightly related grouping of EEC currencies. Mr Barber will also expect to be on the receiving end of forthright French criticism that the floating of the pound has thrown an undesired spotlight on the whole system of EEC currency parities.

If the Luxumbourg meeting cannot agree on a collective policy it is difficult to see how the authorities can permit the exchange markets to reopen.

In the absence of a clear policy statement, foreign exchange dealers expect that the speculators will simply shift the object of their attention from sterling to the lira and also the dollar. So far, the United States has kept strictly out of what it views as a purely West European problem. The official attitude in Washington seems to be that the United States cannot lose however the currency problem is resolved. Either the Europeans return to fixed parities and continue to accept dollars across the exchanges or else they float upwards and give American business a competitive boost.
