2 News Journal, Mansfield, 0. Monday, July 10, 1972 Ohio Delegation A Real Mixture By RICHARD G. THOMAS News Journal Washington Bureau MIAMI BEACH, Fla. Ohio delegates taking part in the Democrats' process of choosing an alternative to Richard Nixon are such a mixture of ideology, skin color, age, sex and political that it had to take something as compelling as the party's national nominating convention to get them together under one roof. But for all their diversity there will be at least one fleeting moment during the next four days when Ohio's contingent of Hubert Humphrey regulars, George McGovern reformers, black determinists led by the Stokes brothers and Wayne Hays conservatives will collectively act according to a pre determined script.

That will come on Wednesday evening, roughly between 8 and 9, when delegation chairman Frank W. King faces a potential worldwide television audience of 640 million. and barks out the state's vote on the first ballot of the presidential nomination. What the stubby, 60 year: old labor leader will say is predictable, largely dictated by the May 2 primary: 84 or so votes for Humphrey and 69 or so for Humphrey will be receiving the 79 delegates he won in the primary along with the five east central Ohio delegates controlled by Wayne Hays, the maverick 18th District congressman who views McGovern's liberalism as anathema to the Democratic Party. McGovern's total will be made up of the 61 delegates he won in May plus the eight Cleveland black delegates pledged to former Cleveland Mayor Carl B.

Stokes. Humphreyite King says the eight may switch to Humphrey but Rep. Louis Stokes (D-Cleveland) two weeks ago publicly told McGovern the Cleveland blacks are his. Voting at a convention according to the script written weeks earlier in Ohio is nothing new for state Democrats, although in past years the predictability stemmed from the iron. fisted favorite son system and produced lopsided margins for the presidential candidate liked best by the party establishment.

In 1968 the delegation largely obeyed the wishes of Sen. Stephen M. Young and cast 94 of its 115 votes for Humphrey, and in 1964 all 99 votes went to Lyndon B. Johnson. In 1960 each of the 64 delegates followed Gov.

Michael V. DiSalle into the John F. Kennedy column, and in 1956 Gov. Frank J. Lausche had control of 54 of the 58 delegates and steered 52 of them into the Adlai Stevenson camp.

But due to new party rules the days when Ohioans came to a convention like so many marionettes strung to one master, are gone. This stirs glee among the McGovern delegates, who see themselves as committed to a man rather than a party organization. But people like King prefer the old rules. "Obviously I'd rather have a delegation that I have control over for the candidate I'm for, that's the name of the game," said. "But I don't say that I'm dissatisfied with this system.

This was the will of the people. this was the way they voted, and so this is all right with me." One has to go back to 1952 to find an Ohio Democratic delegation which split as widely over candidates as 1972 contingent will on Wednesday night. Twenty years ago, the state cast 13 votes for Stevenson on the first ballot and 29.5 for Estes Kefauver. It. changed to 17.5 Stevenson and 27.5 Kefauver second and to 26 Stevenson and 27 Kefauver on the third ballot which put Stevenson over the top.

There is uncertainty surrounding the delegation vote tonight when the convention takes up the le disputed cre-' dentials committee ruling depriving McGovern of 151 delegates he won in California's winner take all primary. King feels there will be only minor slippage, if any, from the 84-69 Humphrey McGovern division expected on the presidential balloting. "This will not be a vote for or against whether they think the California rules are right or proper," he said. "It's McGovern versus those who are not for McGovern." McGovern forces, however, feel they've converted several. Ohio Humphreyites to McGovern's position the California question.

Along with the battle over seating Mayor Richard Daley's Illinois delegates, the California dispute is one of two credentials challenges facing the convention tonight. 6 Represent 17th District MIAMI BEACH Six persons from the 17th Congressional District, elected in the May 2 primary and pledged to two presidential hopefuls, are attending the Democratic National Convention as delegates or alternates. The delegates, all pledged to Hubert H. Humphrey, are James T. Collins, Hebron; Barbara G.

Grosjean, Mt. Vernon and Mary M. Lusk and Thomas E. Mellars, both of Newark. Both alternates are pledged to George S.

McGovern. They are Steven G. Fair and Frederick Reeder, both of Ashland.

(AP Photo) Flown from New York to Iceland Chess Champ's Chair Arrives By IAN WESTERGREN REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) The Borris Spassky Bo by Fischer world chess match can begin Fischer's favorite chair has arrived. The swivel chair in metal and black leather was flown from New York to Iceland and put on the stage in the Reykjavik chess hall Sunday. Spassky's Russian advisers arrived shortly after the much talked about chair and studied it suspiciously. Then they left without comment.

Now the Icelandic organizers face a new problem: Where to find a similar chair in Iceland? "It would look better if both Spassky and Fischer had the same chairs," said Gudmundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic Chess Federation. Fischer took one look at the dozen different chairs the Icelanders had assembled from Reykjavik's furniture stores the other day, sat down in some of them and then gave his verdict: "Fly in my own chair."

Enforcement Lags On Billboard Law COLUMBUS (UPI) Enforcement of a new state billboard law is proceeding slowly, the Highway Department said, apparently because many owners of signs that dot Ohio highways do not yet know the law exists.

"Probably our biggest problem is to get the word to the sign owners that there is a law requiring the submission of an application and the fee," said Croft Merritt, administrative engineer of the department. The law, an outgrowth of the 1962 federal Highway Beautification Act, requires billboard owners to submit an application for the signs to remain where they are. The deadline for the application and payment of a $15 fee was June 30. Merrittt said, however, only 9,500 sign applications have been received. "This represents about 45 per cent of what we expected to receive," he said.

Merritt estimated about 25,000 signs exist within 660 feet of the state's primary highways. One fourth of them could be termed "abandoned." The law, which took effect last Dec. 7. requires the way Department to find the owner, inform him of the law and give him a chance to submit his application and feel. If he fails to do so, the state can then remove the sign.

"Once they know about the law, I don't expect any trouble in getting them to comply," Merritt said. Eclipse Visible in Ohio COLUMBUS (UPI) Today's eclipse of the sun will reach its maximum effect in Ohio at 4:36 p.m., with about two-thirds of the sun blocked from view as the moon passes between the earth and sun. The eclipse will be first noticeable in Ohio about 3:25 p.m. and will end at 5:40 p.m. according to Arne E.

Sletteback, chairman of Ohio State University's astronomy department. Two Quizzed In Beer Theft Two 18-year-olds were arrested for investigation of burglary early Sunday by police who found them drinking beer believed stolen from John Hall Distributing 52 Surrey Rd. At 3:33 a. m. police found a window broken out at the distributing company.

Checking they found the business offices had not been disturbed, but a Richland Security officer told police he saw two youngsters carrying two or three cases of beer in the vicinity. Police found the two suspects at 5:44 a.m. in the backyard at one boy's house with some beer. They are held for questioning. YOU CAN HAVE FUN ON ORGAN PIANO 6 WK.

(AP) "What they're suggesting is no different from the way we did it, except that federal officials will handle all of the ballots," a Raleigh County United Mine Workers official says of guidelines for the court ordered UMW election this winter. Ronald Lester, Local 5770 president at Eccles, was one of 275 grassroots union officials who filled the county courthouse here Sunday to hear U. S. Labor Department representatives lay down ground rules for the replay of the 1969 UMW balloting. That election was voided in federal court at Washington and new voting ordered Dec.

1-8. "We had a secret ballot a clean election last time," Lester said after from the briefing emerging, closed to news media by election coordinator Dow E. Walker. "Our members could even go into the back room and vote if they wanted to." Walker said details of the rules under which voting for international officers' and district auditors and tellers would be conducted would be made public as "firm plans are made." "Our plans may change and the press could confuse the issue," Walker told reporters. Bows.

Before leaving for a salmon fishing tour of northern Iceland the defending champion said, "I am not going to argue about chairs, chess boards and sets.

I will leave that to Bobby. It makes 1 no difference to me." After lengthy and dramatic preludes, both Fischer and Spassky appeared ready to start the first of their 24 games Tuesday. "Bobby is relaxed and ready. We will play Tuesday unless Spassky is ill," said Fred Cramer, vice president of the U. S.

Chess Federation. But the players still have to inspect and approve the facilities in the hall, where the organizers expect 3,000 fans paying $5 each to be on hand Tuesday. Gudmundur Arnlaugsson, deputy referee of the match, spent all day Sunday polishing off the fine details. He tested several chess boards and finally settled for one made in Iceland specially for the match. It has been put together from Icelandic stones.

Arnlaugsson, who had to take over when the chief referee Lot har Schmid of Germany flew home Saturday, also has a choice of five or six different chess sets of various sizes. Schmid said he would return Thursday after visiting his son, who was injured in a traffic accident. Quality Let The Experts In Elegance Shower Proof Your Coats And Jackets.
