Muskic lKlay set hlmsell up as a peace maker hours before the start of the a tic National Con- 1 but front-runner George S. McGovcrn spumed the olive branch of conciliation, Onco the front-runner himself, Muskie called (or a parley of all eight declared candidates' for.ho.presidential nomination to iron out a dispute over challenged California delegates lhal could keep the opening session meeting until near dawn.

Hut McGovcrn, his hopes for a first-ballot nomination already buoyed by two favorable parliamentary rulings and signs ot support from uncom- delegates, said the senator's offer showed traces ot a stop- Me Govern 15 DUPLEXES movement and he would have no part of It, "I really sec nothing to bo Rained at a closed meeting of this kind," McGovcrn told a news conference an hour after Muskie yolccd his proposal on national television and party chairman Lawrence F. O'Bricn set the hour at 1 p.m. McGovern aides said Sluskie apparently wants to reach some compromise on the California squabble but they wouldn't play ball with him because they feel McGovern Is entitled to all 151 disputed delegates. Besides, they said, implicit in any compromise would be a loss of some of these votes. Jn the labor ranks there was evidence of a mounting drive to head off McGovern.

AFLCIO officials were circu- Snubs Muskie Parley laling privately a harshly worded attack on McGovcrn's record on labor, the Vietnam war, Communism, civil rights nnd a laundry-list ot oilier issues, Moreover, one could detect in JIuskie's call for a parley of nomination-seekers a ploy lo pull McGovern back to the pack and away from bis front- running spot. At a midmorning news conference at svhich no iiuestlons were answered, the Maine senator said the credentials squabble WLS "leading toward .1 growing polarization of the Democratic parly." He said the McGovern ami Humphrey camps are in a virtual war and "Die toll in political dead and injured could be horrendous," In Hie camp ol Sen. Hubert 11. Humphrey there was will, mgness lo take Sluskie up on his offer and work out a compromise on challenged delegations. Jack Cheslnut, his campaign manager, said Humphrey would attend the Mtisklc-sug- gestcil meeting and that a bolu- lion off the floor appeared possible since "the parlies hero are reasonable men." But Chestnut also said: "Our campaign will be continuing" and that the Humphrey forces were prepared for a floor fight.

At Hie same lime, the Humphrey aide disclosed some 90 blaek delegates who are in Inc. Humphrey camp would vole for Hep. Shirley Chisholm of New York 'on the first ballot. This move makes even clear- er that the black congresswoman is part of Ibc slop- -McGovcrn movement. Some Humphrey' hackers have been suggesting llial all black delegates might bo rallied lo the Chbliolin banner lo hold the line against McGovcrn.

From (lie headquarters of a fourth candidate, George C. Wallace, came a call for parly chairman Lawrence F. O'lirien to resign or ask for a vole of confidence from the convention's delegates. Charles S. Snider, Ihe Alabama governor's campaign manager, said his action was prompted by O'Brien's rulings Sunday on California credentials.

O'Brien, who will preside over tbe convention, held it would take a majority of those eligible to vote to adopt credentials reports and that (lie tin- contcslcd members of challenged delegations may vote on the challenges, These rulings could be Important sources of strength to McGovcrn. If he captures the contested California delegates he eonM be lifted lo within 50 voles of a first-ballot i Wednesday night, according to The Associated I'rcss' tally.

I A I Db'ACH (UPl) Texas delegates to the Democratic National Convention are trying to turn Ihe tables on Sen. George McGovcrn and undercut his chances oi the party's presidential nomination on the first ballot. More than tiro-thirds of the delegates will apparently vole to sustain a challenge against the California delegation at tonight's opening ot the convention.

If the California challenge delegation is seated, it would cost lie- Govern at least 151 first ballot votes. Mrs. a Long Austin, leader of the Texas forces of Sen. Hubert Humphrey, predicted the state's Humphrey and uncommitted delegates will join with backers of Alabama Gov. George Wallace in the credentials fight, giving about to 9J of Texas' 130 votes to the challenge delegation.

They said all Ihe complaints could be straightened out before Tuesday's game. Fischer's second, the Hcv. William I-ombnrdy, said later the 29-year old challenger was ready to play. "I don't know if he is thinking of chess but lie is ready," said. Spassky said lie was not Coins to argue about the arrangements, despite Fischer's complaints.

"I will leave lhat lo nobby. It makes no differ- encc to me," he said. "Fischer docs not like the lighting, the board and the pieces, the location the TV cameras r.nd some other minor details. These things arc troublesome but not critical. The organizers arc already doing something about it," said Fred Cramer, vice president of the U.
