Accompanied by his brother-in-law and wife, Mr. and Galen Showalter of Roanoke, they travel some 100 miles a day, and Mr. Phlegar says he gets 25 to 30 miles per gallon of gas from hit "Lizzie."

Phlegar and his wife of Salem, are touring the age of 13, and this auto is not for sale. Ho was offered a Mark IV Lincoln in trade for it, he said, and turned It down, preferring to keep the vintage Ford which ho restored 17 years ago and has driven 85,000 miles. While on tour, the Phlegars have no destination in mind, they just enjoy the tour and doubtlessly, they also enjoy the stares they get along the way in their Model bedecked with American Flags and a very appropriate license plate.

The support of the 13.6-rmI- lion-member federation of 129i unions and its money-raising Committee on Political Education is considered crucial to the chances of any Democratic nominee to defeat Nixon in November.

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. Michael Barnes, a Washing ton lawyer who has been work ing on the Maine senator's plans since last November, esti mated that "tens of thousands will be spent on it. Muskie originally asked for 500 rooms, now expects to fill 800 with staff, volunteers and supporters, Barnes said. 22 THE JACKSON SUN, It's 'Fischer And 'Spassky election to Sen. Hubert H.

Humphrey. The AFL-CIO has never claimed to deliver a bloc vote, but it wields considerable influence on labor families, and its COPE operation headed by Barkan raises millions of dollars for campaign spending. Unions also supply hordes of campaign workers. One source predicting a labor sit-out pointed to the precedent 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."

He takes voluminous notes, for a magazine niece, 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 Thorannsson, presi dent of the Icelandic Chess Federation, who was under pressure from Fischer to give JAMES C. "PETE' of 1956.

"We endorsed (Adlai) Stevenson against (Dwight Eisenhower, but then we really didn't do a hell of a lot about jit," he said. Disagreeing, President Paul Jennings of the AFL-CIO International Union of Electrical Workers, said, "Wo have to look where the real enemy is, and that's Mr. Nixon in the White House." up a share of the gate receipts: "I have worked for morp than a year to get this match to icciano. i would do many things.

If McGovern wins the nomi nation despite Meany, labor leaders would be confronted with limited options, none palatable to them. Meany and his chief political strategist, Al Barkan, were counting on union presidents to sway convention delegates away from McGovern, the front-runner on the verge of capturing the 1,509 delegates needed for nomination. "Barkan gave me the spiel- labor people are going to try to stop McGovern on the first and second ballots, said Jerry Wurf, a McGovern supporter and president of the AFL-CIO American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employ ees.

Edward Carlough, president of the Sheet Metal Workers, said if such a move were suc cessful "it would make the nomination totally worthless to anybody else." Some union presidents have appealed to Meany to tone down the anti-McGovern drive. But, in a showdown, most union presidents still bow to Meany wishes on major issues. "I'm going along with Meany, whatever he does," said the chief of one large con struction union, who asked not to be quoted by name. Another source said, "If McGovern gets the nomination, it becomes a competition be tween McGovern and Nixon, and labor simply couldn't be neutral or for Nixon." Others consider neutrality a real possibility. "Meany has told Barkan that, if McGovern is nominated, to just sit down' during a presi dential contest with Nixon, con fided another source.

Unless the American chal lenger 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 Fed eration 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 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 By CARL P. LEUBSDORF Political Writer MIAMI BEACH, Fla.

(AP) -When the wife of Owen Donley, Sen. George McGovern's con vention 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 ex pensive logistical operation in this Democratic National con vention city, still depends heav ily on volunteers young ones, especially.

Codus, who advanced Mrs.

Nixon's solo trip to Africa last year and her Moscow travels this year, reports Monday to join a fast-growing White House campaign-scheduling staff. His arrival seems to indicate extensive travels for Mrs. Nixon and daughters, Tricia and Julie, who already have been pretty active in promoting the Nixon image. Asked if he foresees a lot of campaigning for them, Codus laughingly replied: "Maybe more so than the Now an assistant chief of protocol in charge of handling the trips of foreign heads ot state who make official calls on the President, Codus said Nixon personally asked him to take on the new role.

Ph. 423-KW2 Day 423-44X9 Niffht Vjj mtm a- Donley, a 48-year-old lawyer from South Dakota who was McGovern's administrative as sistant 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 im proved, their planning has es calated. Their first request to Democratic officials was for 60 hotel rooms; it went up to 160 even before the New Hamp shire 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. Rv contrast. Sen.

Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota, one of McGovern's chief rivals, has cut back his room requests from 450 to 274. "The Dlans changed as the political situation did." said Wayne Fans, a 30-year-old bt. Paul attorney, who is running the Humphrey operation. All of the candidates from McGovern to Rep. Shirley Chi- sholm have offices in the ho tels thev drew bv lot last Feb ruary and in trailers outside Convention Hall.

But the extent and costs of the logistical oper ations vary considerably. The McGovern campaign be gan in New Hampshire with a press room two motel rooms and a headauarters away from downtown Manchester to save monev. Here, it is spending at least $150,000 on us convention operation. McGovern has his own tele phone system so do Humphrey and Muskie and the big gest transportation fleet of any of the candidates: 50 cars, five station waeons. four large boats, four small boats, four buses and two limousines.

George McGovern. Driven by personal as well as political antipathy, the labor titan has launched a drive that commands the sympathies of most union presidents if not their wholehearted support.
