George McGovern the most attractive presidential candidate and sides with Nixon on most major issues. "I think i it would be a mistake to assume that I'll sit this one said Connally, who resigned in May as Treasury secretary amid speculation that Nixon might choose him to replace Spiro T. Agnew on the GOP ticket in November. "It's conceivable that I could be fairly active" for Nixon, he said, but he turned aside questions suggesting that the President sent him on the reek worldwide trip to groom him for vice president. "I would anticipate that I wouldn't" be offered the post.

he said. "As I read the tea leaves, that's not in my future." Besides, he said, reporters should ask Nixon that question. Connally said he is still a Democrat.

It lost 39-86. There had been many signs friction between King and Fink during the convention, but actual outbursts have been stifled until the explosion on the floor of the convention hall early today. Humphrey delegates, left rudderless by his withdrawal, will try to decide in caucus today who will be their next man. Humphrey delegates met in their Key Biscavne headquarters at 11 a.m. for a last get-together with the man they wanted the party nominee for president.

"The senator wanted with us to express his thanks for our said Frank W. King of Columbus, the Ohio leader for the Minnesota sena- tor. Admits Few Choices "After that, we'll talk it over and decide what to do." King would not commit himself as to the likely choice, but earlier he said, "It doesn't seem like we have any other course," meaning that the Humphrey group must support Sen. George McGovern. State Sen.

Oliver 46- -old shrugged, Humphrey delegate a large. "Yes, they'll go for McGovern. It's all over." King, who is executive secretary of the Ohio AFL-CIO, said he had talked to I.W. Abel of the Steelworkers in Pennsylvania and knew that the Pennsylvanian had gone over to Sen. Henry Jackson, "I knew that." said King.

"I've heard some talk about a movement to Jackson. I haven't talked to enough people to know, how deep the sentiment is." 'Natural Decision' King wouldn't hazard a guess whether Ohio organized labor would support McGovern. "The question of supporting Sen. McGovern will be decided nationally," said King. "I don't can add It was that Gov.

John J. Gilligan had said in Columbus he would be delighted to support McGovern. King declined comment on Gilligan's statement, but made no effort to hide the reported rift between himself and the governor. "I would like to think I didn't cause it," he said of the rift. "I would like to think I haven't to it.

I don't want to add added, Intramural warfare broke out in the Ohio delegation--all aimed at arrangements made by the state Executive Committee for their stay at the convention. William Lavelle, state chairman of the Executive Committee, turned arrangements over to John Jones, faced a bad draw and moved the delegation to Key Biscayne to get better accommodations. $12 Cab Fares This left the delegates a $12 cab ride to the Convention Center or to the Fontainebleau Hotel. Shuttle buses provided by the city were supposed to solve the transportation problem. The bus system has worked in fits and starts and always late.

"They're fed up with having to pay $8.00 for a bus ticket and then have to nav $19 cab fares to get around," King said. Lavelle and Jones were not around for comment, but a staff member said, "They haven't anything to do with the buses. That's the City of Miami." Plant Overloaded BATAVIA, Ohio (AP)--Mayor Richard Jamieson said the Ohio Health Department has ordered the city to take immediate steps to correct overloading of the city sewage treatment plant.

Collections will begin Aug. 1 in the city of 15,000. McGovern spent much of the day Tuesday in his 17th-story penthouse in the Doral Beach Hotel. "He's working on his acceptance speech and, I dare say, thinking about the vicepresidential said spokesman Richard Dougherty. The senator met with various groups during the day, cluding American relatives of a hall dozen prisoners of war Southeast Asia.

McGovern promised to stand by American prisoners, a pledge that marked what aides said was "an elaboration" of his Southeast Asia policy. In the brightly lit convention hall, meanwhile, the delegates went through the convention routine, electing Lawrence F. O'Brien the convention's permanent chairman and adopting party rules including one that bans winner-take-all primaries, starting in 1976. It was such a contest that stirred the Califor- nia credentials fight. Women Gains Role The party also decided that.

starting with 1976, a woman will preside over every other national convention. Yvonne Braithwaite Burke, a black California state legislator and congressional hopeful, is vice chairman of this year's convention. who delivered (convention's keynote speech, was interrupted with a loud roar when he said that funds needed to meet the nation's medical needs were being used for "a war that should have ended" a long time ago. His speech also, was filled with praise what he called the party's open processes and crit icism of secrecy in President Nixon's Republican administration. Demonstrate Control McGovern's forces had given dramatic demonstration early Tuesday in the California credentials fight that they had control of the convention.

Later in the morning, Humphrey became the first of his major rivals to drop from the race. Tears brimming in his eyes, Humphrey abandoned a 12-year quest for the White House, saying his name would not be presented when presidential nomi nations are made tonight. Several hours later, Muskie, the onetime front-runner whose fall in the long primary campaign paralleled McGovern's rise, dropped out, too. He said that McGovern had won with dedication, skill and hard work "against enormous odds" and added: "Let's now go about the business of winning the presidency and governing Anybody but Nixon OK With Gays, Far Outs MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) Yippies, Zippies and Gays didn't join hands and dance in the streets when George McGovern clinched the Democratic presidential nomination.

In fact, many of the 1,500 counterculture demonstrators camped out at Flamingo Park scarcely seemed to notice what was going on at Convention Hall, what with all the pot. skinny dipping and good vibes to be had. "What difference does it make?" asked David Cohen, a member of the Students for a Democratic Society from Chicago. "He going to end racism. He isn't going to buv capitalism." But if there was little celeout in the preconvention maneuvering, it was easy to find a kind word for the South Dakota senator.

"Anything would make me happy if it means Nixon will no longer rule the country, said Kenneth Grogan, Tampa, Fla. "McGovern is about the best there is, but I don't think everyone is satisfied with him." Several nondelegates at Flamingo Park worried that McGovern might change some of his positions. "I hope he doesn't back down WASHINGTON (AP) Serious crime in the nation dur ing the first three months of this year rose only 1 per cent, the lowest increase in 11 years, the Justice Department announced today.

Violent crime, which makes up about 13 per cent of the total index offenses in the crime report, increased 2 per cent in the first quarter of 1972, compared to a 13 per cent increase during the same period in 1971.

In the categories that make violent crime, murder was up 2 per cent compared to 1971's rise of 11 per cent; forcible rape up 17 per cent versus 2 per cent last year, robbery down 2 per cent, while in the first quarter of 1971 it was up 17 per cent.

Nixon Talks With Soviet Ambassador Experts See Spassky First Game Winner REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Defending champion Boris Spassky was favored by the experts to beat American challenger Bobby Fischer in the opening game of the world chess match when play resumes this afternoon. The opener of the richest chess competition in history adjourned Tuesday night after 4 hours and 34 minutes of play and 40 moves by each player.

The game was to resume at 5 p.m.-1 p.m. EDT. Referee Lothar Schmid of West Germany will make Spassky's 41st move. The Russian wrote it on a slip of paper and handed it to him in a sealed envelope at the adjournment. The two competitors, their seconds and chess enthusiasts throughout the world spent part of the overnight break analyzing possibilities for the 11 pieces remaining on the greenand chessboard in Reykjavik's sports hall: king and five pawns for Fischer; king, bishop and three pawns for Spassky.

The match had appeared headed for a draw until Fischer tried to seize the initiative on his 29th move.

A few moves later the bishop was trapped and lost in exchange for two pawns.

SAN CLEMENTE. Calif.

Kissinger, the president's principal foreign affairs advisor, were invited by their host to visit the Western White House today.

Ronald L. Ziegler, Nixon's press secretary, said the chief executive and the visiting Russian would meet at some point during the day. In response to a question, Ziegler declared, "I don't want to describe it as a courtesy call." Asked if substantive matters be discussed, he replied, "Yes." Vietnam talks resume Thursday in peace, after a twomonth hiatus occasioned by a United States withdrawal that preceded Nixon's order to mine North Vietnamese ports.

When McGovern himself showed up to address a senior citizens' rally at the Flamingo Park stadium Sunday, only a scattering of youths were intermingled with the oldsters.
