When a recent rain drove the people Fischer loses draw; Boris has first move Market course is indecisive NEW YORK (API The stock market pursued an indecisive course today in moderate trading. Prices were mixed after two days of advances. The noon Dow Jones average of 30 industrials was off .98 to 941.15, but declining issues edged ahead of gainers on the New York Stock Exchange. Two government reports showed that unemployment in June was down to 5.5 per cent alter holding three months at 5.9 per cent, but wholesale prices were at the same level in June as in May a seasonably adjusted annual rate of 6 per cent. Commenting that the two reports "cancelled off each other," John Smith of Fahnestock Co.

said "that sort of thins tends to put the market on dead center." Traders noted that sales of 10,000 or more shares were slow, in Thursday's market the number of block trades were above average at 143, a sign of activity on the part of institutional investors. The Big Board's most active issue was Norton Simon, off 's to 33 '4. Bausch Lomb, which lost 4 points Thursday as witnesses criticized soft lenses before a Senate subcommittee, regained 7 to 45' Delegate-- (Continued from page 1) that the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia "has provoked a fundamental constitutional crisis which can only be settled by this court." "Reversal of the judgment below is necessary to ensure that hereafter the federal courts will stay out of the American political process rather than seize its center stage," the petition read. The Credentials Committee stripped McGovern of the California delegates after deciding that the 271 he won in the state's winner-take-all primary should be apportioned among all the candidates according to their share of the vote.

The appeals court held that changing the rules after the primary was over violated McGovern's right to due process. The ousted Illinois delegates said the committee decision and the court ruling that supported it disenfranchised the Democratic voters who elected delegates only to see them replaced by challengers. The party is opposing the Illinois suit on grounds it "does not involve an unprecedented Jua'ciai intrusion into me internal decision-making processes of a national political party." Man slain when he drops hostage HOUSTON, Tex. (AP) -Paul Escalente, 26, stood in the middle of a street holding a foot-long butcher knife to the throat of his 7-month-old daughter Paula. "We tried everything we knew to talk him out of the knife or at least stall him," Patrolman T.

O. Bresenhan said Thursday. "We told him it was senseless to hurt his daughter if he was mad at his wife." A sister, Gina Vasquez, 24, told police Escalente came home drunk and mad at his wife. "He grabbed the baby and a knife and yelled for us to get out," she said. "He said he wanted Esther this wife) to come and get Paula," Mrs.

Vasquez said. "He told us he'd kill her when she came, and if she didn't come he'd kill the baby and himself." "When he advanced on me, the baby fell," said Patrolman L. W. Hoffmaster. "I had a clear shot and fired." The two officers fired about five times, killing Escalente, a Vietnam veteran discharged from the army seven months ago.

While police tried to talk with Escalente, he dashed after an unidentified man walking down the street and barely missed slashing the man's throat. Paula was listed in good condition at a hospital with facial lacerations. By STEPHENS BROEMNG Associated Press Writer REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Bobby Fischer lost the draw Thursday night, giving Boris Spassky the first move, and the world championship chess match will finally start next Tuesday. Unless the American challenger or the Soviet champion pleads illness and gets another postponement. The confusion of the past week was summarized by the old woman selling cigarettes who asked in the beginning: "Fischer come?" Near the end it was: "Spassky go?" "I'm very pessimistic," Dr.

Max Euwe said at 10 a.m. At noon: "It's a very delicate situation." At 7 p.m., the president of the International Chess Federation sighed: "There's hope." That was Tuesday. It could have been any day in the garbled prelude to what chess lovers say is the match of the century Spassky of the U.S.S.R. vs. Fischer of the U.S.A.

Spassky arrived early to Don't use an excess amount of soap or detergent when you are washing clothes in an automatic washer. Excess soap or detergent is hard to rinse out, leaves clothes gray and may cause mechanical difficulties in the washer. wait for Bobby. Saying "I came to play," he philosophically accepted the first postponement when Fischer didn't show. Later he demanded an apology or he wouldn't play.

At one news conference, one of Fischer's lawyers said he'd come to say he had nothing to say. Yefim Geller, Spassky's second, fielded questions with: "Kak Gavarit po Angliski," or as you say in English, "No comment." Then there's the "Eavesdropper," a man approaching middle age with a shock of graying hair combed in careful disarray onto his forehead. He takes voluminous notes, for a magazine piece, he says. On scraps of paper he records conversations he's overheard. He carries the scraps in a red plastic shopping bag as he moves soundlessly about "the hotel lobbies.

One final quote, from Gud-mundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic Chess Federation, who was under pressure from Fischer to give up a share of the gate receipts: "I have worked for more than a year to get this match to Iceland. I would do many things. But I will not bite into a sour apple." Thanks to a rich British chess fan who raised the stakes, he didn't have to. Kennedy (Continued from page 1) McGovern fly here to start wooing arriving delegates in their bid to overtake the front-running South Dakota senator. Sens.

Hubert H. Humphrey, Edmund S. Muskie and Henry M. Jackson; Alabama Gov. George C.

Wallace; and Rep. Wilbur D. Mills all scheduled afternoon arrivals. McGovern is due Saturday afternoon. With the convention to start Monday night, two major credentials cases which involve 151 McGovern delegates from California and 59 Illinois delegates led by Chicago Mayor Richard J.

Daley remained in a legal limbo. Chief Justice Warren E. Burger extended indefinitely Thursday a delaying order in the case so he could consult with his eight Supreme Court colleagues on whether to call a special session to consider appeals in the two cases. The two cases are crucial, especially the California one, in McGovern's quest for victory on the first ballot. Including the 151 California votes, The Associated Press count shows McGovern with 1,454.65 first ballot votes just 54.35 short of the 1,509 needed for the nomination.

Failure to retain the 151 votes, either through court rulings or convention action, would leave McGovern more than 200 votes away from the nomination, a far more difficult hurdle to overcome. The AP count shows Humphrey a distant second with 398.55; Wallace with 367; Muskie with 219.55; and 425.65 uncommitted. The rest are scattered. McGovern crossed verbal swords with Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird over the senator's proposals to cut U.S.

defense spending sharply. Laird issued an analysis of McGovern's proposal for a $32 billion reduction by 1975 and called it "tantamount to a white flag of surrender." McGovern rejected that characterization and said, "My proposed military budget will make certain that the United States is the strongest nation in the world." In Miami Beach, meanwhile, heads of three largely black organizations threatened to crash the convention sessions unless 750 delegate seats are provided for poor people. The threats were made by the Rev. Ralph Abernathy, head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference; George A. Wiley, executive director of the National Welfare Rights Organization; and Jesse Gray, director of the National Tenants Organization.

Richard J. Murphy, the convention manager, said after meeting with the three Thurs day he was unable to comply with their request "because the rules don't permit it."

Continued from page 1) by one of the hijackers, the FBI said, and two other passengers were wounded. The Oakland air pirate gave up his guns to California Highway Patrol Capt. Lloyd T. Turner, who he held as a hostage on the flight. The hijacker had a pistol taken from the officer and a 7.65-caliber pistol of German make, the FBI said.

"He (the hijacker) started to act rather nervous and pursuant to suggestions, with the captain and the pilot talking to him together and individually after 2'a hours he finally surrendered his weapons and surrendered to the FBI," Geb-hardt said. Turner, a passenger on the flight, had volunteered to stay aboard the three-engined jetliner as a hostage with three crewmen after the jet's 53 other passengers and crew were allowed off in San Diego. Earlier reports that there were two passengers being held as hostage were erroneous, the FBI said. U.S. Atty.

James Browning Jr. authorized a complaint for air piracy against Goodell and recommended $100,000 bail. The Boeing 727-100. originally with with 58 persons aboard including the hijacker, was seized while on a short flight Thursday from Oakland to Sacramento. The plane was ordered 500 miles to San Diego where the hijacker got the money and parachute, then ordered it to Oakland.

He asked for a helicopter he had demanded to be waiting for him there. Turner had volunteered to be a hostage while the jet was in San Diego. The hijacker allowed all but Turner, and three crewmen to get off there. Witnesses said Capt. Jerry E.

Blakely, pilot of the jetliner, and the 42-year-old highway patrol officer both were handcuffed before they walked off the plane. It was believed they had been handcuffed by the hijacker. McGovern depends on MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) When the wife of Owen Donley, Sen. George McGovern's convention coordinator, came to work one morning this week, she found her 10-year-old daughter Shana running the switchboard.

It was another indication that the front-running South Dakota senator, who has the most expensive logistical operation in this Democratic National Convention city, still depends heavily on volunteers young ones, especially. McGovern even has a Youth Center for his volunteers, a rented ballroom in a south Miami Beach hotel where the U.S. military scientists were researching in this field at least 10 years ago.

Donley, a 48-year-old lawyer from South Dakota who was McGovern's administrative assistant for eight years, began planning the senator's Miami Beach setup five months ago at a time when McGovern's presidential prospects didn't look too good. As his chances have improved, their planning has escalated. Their first request to Democratic officials was for 60 hotel rooms; it went up to 160 even before the New Hampshire primary and has been growing steadily.

By the end of this week. McGovern staff workers and volunteers will be scattered through 550 hotel rooms in nine different Miami Beach hotels. Only Sen. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine has more.

By contrast. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota, one of McGovern's chief rivals, has cut back his room requests from 450 to 274. "The plans changed as the political situation did," said Wayne Faris, a 30-year-old St.

Paul attorney, who is running the Humphrey operation. All of the candidates from McGovern to Rep. Shirley Chisholm have offices in the hotels they drew by lot last February and in trailers outside Convention Hall. But the extent and costs of the logistical operations vary considerably. McGovern has his own telephone system so do Humphrey and Muskie and the biggest transportation fleet of any of the candidates 50 cars, five station wagons, four large boats, four small boats, four buses and two limousines.

In contrast, Faris said Humphrey has about 15 cars and two yachts. He is renting other vehicles as needed. Asked the cost of the Minnesota senator's operation, Fairs replied, "I'm spending everything they give me. We're doing it sort of piecemeal." Muskie who dropped his active primary campaigning in late April because of a lack of funds, among other reasons had put money aside for the Miami Beach operation. Muskie originally asked for 500 rooms, now expects to fill 800 with staff, volunteers and supporters, a staff worker said.

Former Saint QB arrested NEW ORLEANS (AP) -The FBI announced the arrest today of Karl Robert Sweetan, former quarterback for the New Orleans Saints, and Wayne Maurice Boswell for allegedly trying to sell a National Football League player's notebook. The FBI said Sweetan, 29, and Boswell, 31, both of Dallas, were arrested for violation of interstate transportation of stolen property and fraud by wire.

The FBI said it had had the full cooperation of J. D. Roberts, head coach of the Saints, and the National Football League. Both men were scheduled for hearing later today before a U.S. magistrate.

Sweeten, who attended Wake Forest, was an 18th round draft choice of Detroit in 1964 as a future. He played one year in the Canadian League, then signed with the Lions in 1965. Detroit farmed him out to Pontiac, a semi-pro team. He was traded to New Orleans before the 1968 season and then went to the Los Angeles Rams in a trade just before the 1969 season.

Another source said, "If McGovern gets the nomination, it becomes a competition between McGovern and Nixon, and labor simply couldn't be neutral or for Nixon." Others consider neutrality a real possibility. The support of the 13.6-mil-lion-member federation of 129 unions and its money-raising Committee on Political Education is considered crucial to the chances of any Democratic nominee to defeat Nixon in November.
