(AP) A city judge appears to have devised a new method of sentencing persons convicted in knifing cases a day in jail for each stitch used in patching up the victim. "How many stitches did the cut require?" Municipal Judge James Evans asked the victim of a recent knifing. When the victim said 39 stitches, Judge Evans sentenced the assailant to 39 days in the city jail.

(AP) Drama, Tension Eased McGovern Nears Nomination As Major Rivals Withdraw McGovern Platform WinningOut Party Backs Reform Rules MIAMI BEACH (AP) Despite a dramatic, personal appeal from Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace, the Democratic National Convention shouted down his proposals to write more conservative terms into a liberal party platform early Wednesday.

Amid waves of cheers from the convention minority supporting his candidacy, the crippled Alabama governor came to the convention in a wheelchair to argue for his views of what the platform should say. The convention minority provided the only support as eight Wallace planks, including a de- Related Stories, Photos On Pages 2, 54 mand that the Democrats call for an end to school busing for racial balance, were rejected in a succession of voice votes. It called also for immediate, complete withdrawal of all U.S. combat forces in Indochina, while the rejected Wallace plank set the release of American prisoners as a condition for a pull-out. A minority report proposing a guaranteed annual income of $6,500 for a family of four was defeated on a roll-call vote.

The proposal was backed by the National Welfare Rights Organization. The convention also adopted rules forbidding winner-take-all presidential primaries, effective in 1976. That eliminates the issue that produced the pivotal battle over Claifornia delegates, chosen in just such a primary. And the Democrats decided that, beginning in 1976, a woman should alternate in chairing the national conventions. When the debate opened on the specific busing plank, Richard J.

Trolly, mayor of Taylor, supported the Wallace antibusing proposal by telling delegates that polls show 80 per cent of Americans opposed to "court-required busing." Forced busing, Trolly said, has caused disenchantment with the courts and "taken innocent children from their homes until the sun has gone down." But, he said, it has not achieved balance in schools. "And it never will," Trolly added, "because racial balance will never be achieved on a government bus.

McGovern's representatives dominated the committee which drafted the platform, but the document is far less a statement of McGovern's program than it is a creation of compromise. It can be said that the platform proceedings were the first signal of McGovern's campaign shifting sights from the convention to the election. With the exception of the narrow confines of the extreme left and right, all elements of the party found the platform acceptable.

The challenges by George Wallace, the Gay Liberationists, Sen. Fred Harris of, Oklahoma and others, spoke for the extremes but not the broad use of the party which encompasses the Old and New Guard. REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP)-Bobby Fischer made his opening assault on the Soviet Chess fortress Tuesday night, but world champion Boris Spassky repelled it and left the American with a tough fight for a draw-when their first game was adjourned. The first game of history's richest world chess title match was called after 40 moves and 4 When play was called off for the night, there was little left on the board: a king and five pawns for Fischer; a king, three pawns and a bishop for Spassky. U.S.

grandmaster Robert Byrne said: "Fischer is going to have trouble making a draw. I don't see how Spassky can lose." Svetozar Gligoric, the Yugoslav grandmaster, commented: Spassky the white, which means the Russian had the first move. Yefim Geller, the Russian who seconds Spassky, watched the final moves on closed circuit television in the corridor, sipping a cup of coffee. "What do you think, Grandmaster Geller?" he was asked. "I am not thinking; I am drinking coffee," Geller replied.
