McCall Is scheduled to stand trial Aug. 15 for the beating death of a black county jail inmate, Tommy Vickers of Miami.

Edmund S. Muskie of Maine bowed to the in evitable Tuesday and dropped out of the race for the Democratic presU dential nomination. Muskie withdrew as front-runner George McGovern piled up enough votes to win the nomination on the first ballot. Sen. Hubert H.

Humph-rey of Minnesota, another rival, abandoned the race earlier in the day. MUSKIE SAID he was quitting because it was now apparent that McGovern was going to be the, nominee. Under these circumstances, Muskie said, there was no point in having his name even introduced into nomination. "IT IS apparent to all of us that Sen. oeorge McGovern is this convention's choice as the nominee of our party," Muskie told a news conference.

Muskie called for a "common cause" between the economically fortunate and other Americans who have been left behind. He wished McGovern every success and said "let's now get going about the business of winning the presidency and governing wisely." MUSKIE'S BRIEF statement, delivered with his wife by his side, was an appeal for party unity. Unlike Humphrey, he pledged his support specifically to the obvious winner, McGovern. Attention quickly shifted to Mc-Govern's choice for vice president. Sen.

Edward M. Kennedy of Mas sachusetts was high on the list ot possible running mates, according to McGovern aides. HUMPHREY WITHDREW with a pledge to keep fighting for "social justice" but without an endorsement of McGovern. Two other rivals, Gov. George Wallace of Alabama and Sen.

Henry M. Jackson, pledged to remain in the race hours before the start of the second session of the nominating convention. His eyes brimming with tears, Humphrey bowed out at a news conference. 'My withdrawal from the presidential race is a withdrawal of candidacy only," said the Minnesota senator, who first began running for the White House more than a decade ago. His move was almost dictated by McGovern's sweeping recapture Monday night of 151 disputed California delegates, putting him within about 25 votes for a first-ballot nomination.

HUMPHREY'S STATEMENT was seen as a move to unify the Democratic Party which had been torn by sometimes bitter disputes between McGovern supporters and the backers of Humphrey and other candidates. Humphrey has said consistently he will support and work hard for McGovern if the South Dakota senator wins the nomination.

The county is expected to award the cable television franchise next Tuesday.

THE FRANCHISE winner will be required to pay the county between 3 and 5 per cent of its gross revenues' estimated at from $145,000 to $375,000 annually under the county's cable television franchise That income could back revenue bonds by the authority. The authority is expected to receive next week a feasibility study on Tangerine Bowl, expansion or construction of a news stadium. The study is being made by the Arena Group of which currently Is building an open stadium in Buffalo, N.Y. County commissioners created the civic facilities authority when it appeared Orlando may lose the Tangerine Bowl game because of inadequate facilities. ALTHOUGH THE authority Is autonomous, commissioners asked that it give first priority to Tangerine Bowl expansion.

Preliminary estimates of expanding the stadium from 17,000 to 50,000 seats begin at around $6 million. The National Collegiate Athletic Association has indicated it will withdraw bowl sanction unless the stadium is improved. The University of Florida has committed a 1974 game to an expanded stadium and other major colleges have expressed an interest in playing here. THE AUTHORITY also is awaiting a proposal by York entrepreneur Steven D.jGurian, who ast month asked special tax ex- em pti on on area development schemes to finance a domed stadium and entertainment complex. Gurian told the authority his proposed $50 million stadium could not pay for itself, and the exemptions on Initial area land development would be necessary to finance, the civic facility.

Champion Boris Spassky of Russia arrived exactly on time at 5 p.m., waited a minute, then calmly pushed his queen's pawn forward two spaces. Referee Lothar Schmid of West Germany pushed the button on the time clock and the match had begun. Fischer sometimes choose to be late to tournaments and matches. It was not known where he was. Then minutes after Spassky began the game, Fischer appeared from offstage left.

With long strides he sped' to the black leather swivel chair placed behind the white side of the board. Applause which greeted Fischer's arrival arose in crescendo when Spassky moved forward from the side of the stage where he had been waiting to shake Fischer's hand.

Poe, who said commissioners have not finalized the plan, said he had discussed it in "general" with William Roy, Civic Facilities Authority chairman. Orange Okays County Road Improvement By TOM FIEDLER Staff Writer Benefiting from a $550,000 computer error, Orange County 1 com missioners today approved a coun-tywide road improvement program which has gone begging for nearly two years through lack of money.

The commissioners accepted a road work schedule covering 42 miles of secondary roads submitted by county engineer Charles Goode and rejected for the past two years. The project calls for the resurfacing of nearly 25 county maintained roads and a major improvement on SR 535 east of Interstate 4 away from the Walt Disney World complex. AMONG THE roads benefiting from the windfall are Mercy Drive, Curry Ford Road, Conway Road, Apopka Vineland Road, Hiawassee Road, a portion of Lake Underhill Drive and Clarcona-Ocoee Road. The additional road revenues turned up last week when the state Department of Transportation discovered a computer error in compiling Orange County's share of the sixth and seventh cent gas taxes. THE COMPUTER apparently, failed to credit the county for $275,000 which, when matched, by state funds yields $550,000 in maintenance money.

The SR 535 improvements, which will cost the county $200,000 of the total, includes fourlaning the road east from the site of the old Disney Preview Center to the Osceola County line. The project will not improve the road used by Disney employes, however, which has become a major source of controversy between, the county and Disney officials.

It also supports busing as "another tool to accomplish desegregation." Tonight's biggest fight, to be mounted by Alabama Gov.

George C. Wallace, in a personal appearance at the convention, is expected to be about that. CHARLES SNIDER, Wallace's campaign manager, called the busing language a party "suicide for November. He and other Wallace supporters were proposing a substitute plank calling for a constitutional amendment to outlaw busing as related to school integration.
