McGovern invaded the cnrnps of his enemies today, seeking a key victory at tonight's opening session ot the Democratic National Conren- lion which could make Ills nomination almost certain and almost Woodless. His rivals still lackcd-aiid still sought--the cohesion necessary for an effective stop: McGovcrn coalition in Wcdncs. day's presidential balloting.

Tliey also lacked a unity candidate all could agree upon, and no new name surfaced. Kdward JI. Kennedy's wife Joan, liere help raise money for the party, said Kennedy's decision neither to seek nor accept the nomination was From llyamils Port, where ho went yachllng, Kennedy said Ihere was "no way" he could he convinced lo take second place on the llckel, Maine's Edmund S. Sluskie, once the front-runner, look on kingmaker powers at this least orthodox 3Cth quadrennial assembly ol disarrayed Democrats. But JIuskie was undecided whether lo use those powers to coronate McGovera or to keep alive his own hopes of becoming a compromise choice.

Aides promised a iiuick decision alter Musltle's scheduled "solidarity meeting" this morning with his eslimatcd 200- plus delegates. In the same flat, dry prairie voice wilh which he announced his candidacy 18 months ago-when he was unknown to most Keeps Demos Guessing us "no vo Wednesday night at the votes and his Illinois Inss. hont iii, nr Americans McGovern expressed Ixnmdless confidence of reaching his goal. He reflected none of the tensions swirling around him in this steamy resort strip, (rapped in its own traffic. He claimed enough support in tonight's voting to reverse the Credentials Committee vote which look from liim 151 of the 271 deliles won June- 6 in California's winner-takc-all 'primary.

Ite also sought an Illinois compromise which would put Chicago Mayor Richard j. Daley In a delegate's seat with one half a vole--and a more kindly feeling toward Me- Govern. With that accomplished, Me- Govern's delegates counters said, lie would have 1,541.5 votes Wednesday night at the nominating more than necessary. A parliamentary ruling Sunday Irom Lawrence P. 0'IJricii, tlic party chairman, strengthened n's hand.

O'liricn decreed that all delegates except (hose whose right to vote Is under challenge could hallot on whether to scat a challenged delegation. Even if he loses all challenges, they said, he would have a bare minimum ot 1,331.5 votes and would pick up the rest toward the 1,509 needed as (lie roll was called. He claimed well over twice as many delegates as his nearest rival, Hubert H. Humphrey. UPI's count, rcllccliiig Me- Govern's loss of 151 California votes and his Illinois loss, showed him with 1,315.95 votes plus '12 leaning his way.

pulling him 152.05 short of the nomination. The UPI tabulation gave Humphrey 531,55, plus 58 leaning. The uncommitted bloc numbered 311.4. McGovcrii, welt aware that victory on loniglil's procedural voles over tbe ground rules ol Hie convention could yield victory Wednesday, wooed dele- gales for support in lhat crucial roll call. He scheduled visits lo the big and largely unfriendly delpga- lions Irom Ohio, where Humphrey Is strongest; and Texas whore George C.

Wallace held the lion's share of delegates. Texas rancher Dolph liriscoe, who heat a liberal to win his party's gubernatorial nomination, was though! to be leaning toward Humphrey. "I came here uncommitted." ha said, "and I'm Mill ujicommilted." McGovcrn made a "lair play" pitch, arguing (hat taking California delegates away Irom him after all candidates had agreed to the w'rmcr-lake-nll rules would be unjust. Ohio, Gov. John Gilligan, a red-haired liberal, breakfasted Sunday with Muskle, whom he had supported originally, and urged him to I McGovern in the California Issue.

Later he dangled Hie vice presidential nomination before JIuskie as a lure, but JIuskie said he wasn't very interested. The Humphrey camp said a convention majority of 1,509 votes should he necessary to setllc all disputes. They vowed to light O'Brien's ruling in the South Carolina challenge, the first and crucial vote which could cast the decisive pattern for the entire convention. Adding to McGovern's opli- mism was latent support Irom delegates who would vote for him on a second or third ballot but were bound by stale law or state convention to vote for others on earlier ballots. Such committments did not hind Item on procedural issues such as the California credentials light.

But the Humphrey camp said even a California win would not ensure McGovern the nomina- (Scc CONVENTION on Page 8) 3 OTHER OFFICERS SLAIN Artillery KHIs General SAIGON (AP) A lone north i a artillery shell killed an American general promoted only 12 days ago and three other U.S. officers shortly after they landed at An Loc for an inspection, (he U.S. Command announced loilay.

(AP) A team of solar astronomers hopes to make an airborne obscrvalion eight miles above Northern Canada of tlie sun's corona during the solnr eclipse today. A converted Air Force cargo jet stuffed with elaborate scientific gear monitored by two dozen scientists from the Los Alamos, N.M.. Scientific Laboratory was to lake off from Fairchild Air Force Base here.

At 3:42:56 EDT at a point northwest of Hudson Bay and 1.600 miles from the North Pole, Hie scientists hoped to train telescopes, cameras and radiation measuring devices on the eclipse. An eclipse oc- curs when the moon glides between Ihe carlh and sun, blotting out the sun. The scientists' primary large! is tlie solar corona, (lie gases that stream millions of miles oul into space and normally aren't visible because tlic brighter light Irom the sun's body blots them out. But when tbe moon obscures the solar disc tlie corona becomes visible, the source of many scientists' allention. Experiments aboard Hie aircraft were to measure the corona's magnetic field, its temperature, and other characteristics that still aren't well understood despite HO years of research.

Scientists believe (hot (he corona contains clues to liow Ilic sun interacts with (lie eatth-- why il causes disruption of radio communications, the intriguing northern and southern lights and other cl- fccls lhat interfere with man's activities. The eclipse was to be visible over much of the United States and Canada, but only along a 110-mile wide path stretching from Siberia to (lie North Atlantic would the sun be totally blotted out. II is here lhat experts concentrate (heir attention. The Air Force aircraft is used to get the solar scientists above clouds and lhe obscuring effects of earth's atmosphere. By Hying in Ihc path of the eclipse at nearly COO miles an hour the scientists hope to extend their observing time during totality from one minute, '59 seconds, to three minutes and -12 seconds, an important gain.

At and near Halifax, N.S., tbe Canadian a Council planned to lire a lolal of eight rockets to lolt instruments into Ibe of totality. Another Los Alamos group at Poker Flats. Alaska, also planned to launch a rocket loaded with special instruments. The National Science Foundation in Washington, D.C,, said several ground expeditions were creeled (o be in place, primarily in Canada's -Maritime Provinces. There, however, clouds easily could ruin observations.

Iban 50 enemy shells hit An Loe Sunday, killing seven South Vietnamese soldiers and wounding 17. Tallman was a combat infantry officer in Korea mid was serving Ms third tour of duty in Vietnam. He is survived by his widow and seven children, including one son who was graduated from West Point last month and another who is a member of the class of 1S73. Tallman was graduated from the Point in 1MO. On South Vietnam's northern front, meanwhile, the South Vietnamese attack on Quang Tri City was stalled lor the fourth day by heavy North Vietnamese artillery fire.

The Saigon command reported Hanoi's gunners fired more Iban 300 shells into South Vietnamese positions on the southern and eastern edges of Quang Tri and 30 miles to the south, on the western flanks of Hue, Jlorc lhan a half do7cn clashes were reported on the southern and eastern outskirts of Quang Tri. The Saigon command said (hat 101 North Vietnamese and 14 South Vietnamese were killed and 34 South Vietnamese were wounded. The South i a strategy appeared to be to bold back while U.S. warplanes blasted the N'orlh Vietnamese hunkers. More (ban 10 U.S.

B52s pounded areas around Quang Tri and Hue wilh 1.700 tons of bombs. Some of the strikes were within a mile of Quang Tri City. In the air war against North Vietnam, US. fighter- bombers hit North Vietnam with more than 300 strikes Sunday, tile U.S. Command said.

The raiders destroyed three large warehouses and six supply caches at the Xuan Mai mitilary (raining area 16 miles bouhhwesl of Hanoi and knocked Iwo bridges midway along the northwest rail line from Hanoi to China.

Hubert Humphrey visilctl flic Texas delegation Sunday niglil in Miami Beach anil went along with a gag proposed a Wallace McGOVERN Texans Map Vole Plans MIAMI BEACH (UPI) -Texas delegates to the Demo- cralic National Convention arc trying lo lurn Ihe tables on Sen. George McGovcrn and undercut bis chances of winning the party's presidential nomination on the lirst ballot. More than two-thirds of the delegates will apparently vote to sustain a challenge against the California delegation at tonight's opening session of Ibe convention. If the California challenge delegation is scaled, il would cost McGovern at least first ballot voles. Mrs.

Emma Long ot Austin, leader of the Texas forces of Sen. Hubert Humphrey, predicted tlie state's Humphrey anil uncommitted delegates will join with backers of Alabama Gov. George Wallace in the credentials light, giving about 95 to 97 of Texas' 130 voles lo the challenge delegation. Paul ttavcnholt. a Humphrey niclc, told a Texas Humphrey caucus Sunday it was McGovern who helped the unit rule under which Texas sent its delegation to the 1308 convention.

"This business of replacing delegates at the convention level is not something which started in 1072," Hnvonholl said. was used effectively in 19G8 (o minimize Texas' influence," He said McGovcrn argued before the IDS con- vention that the unit rule was unfair. Tlie rule was then abolished, but. Itavcnholt con- lends McGovern is trying to impose it to keep all 271 California delegate votes. Tbe Te.vans spent most of the day Sunday negotialing for sircngth in the credentials fight.

Practically overlooked were two credentials challenges from Texas which are scheduled lo go to the convention floor tonight. One of (hose challenges being brought up in a minority report would replace 14 male delegates with women. Another would replace four male delegates with three black women and one Mexican American woman. "I think they'll both come (Sec TEXAN'S on Page 8) Crash Tip Wins 1 MJAJII BEACH, FJa.

Delegates in dungarees and Dasliikis. From Southern mansions and Washington, D.C., welfare homes, wilh bullons that, say "Let George Do It" and mean McGovcrn in one ease and Wallace in another. Indeed, the sight (o be hc- lield by the television millions starling tonight is said lo Jie Die most different--if not decorous--parley of the Party of the People since its first ifuadrcnnial call by political revolutionaries in 1832. Since when, for example, has il been so difficult lo tell so many of the delegates from so many (he demonstrators? Who recalls the last time blacks were proportionately overrepresented? Or when the spouses who were left at home or consigned to the hotel with Hie kiddies were, in large numbers, men? Or who could have foreseen thai old pro Hubert Humphrey would pin his hopes to an argument founded on party reforms, as is the case tonight when (he convention lakes up the issue of George JlcGovcrn's claim lo 271 delegates from California? Or that Chicago Slayer Richard J. Daley, the man whose orchestration in 1968 swayed even the boys in the hand, could find himself stripped not only of his political baton but of his convention ticket as well? Still, there is much of tbe same old song in this experience, even tliongh 90 per cent of Ihe delegates arc convention freshmen and can't sing "Happy a Are Here Again" without a cue card.

There's just no mistaking a political convention, reform or no reform. The giant liall stands bathed, like mosl things here lhat don't move and some that do, in carnival-like splashes of red. white and blue. Elaborate portraits of party nicnli enables peer down on tbe delegates, as if no man dare commit an act of heresy bcncatli the brooding presence of Franklin Itoo.se- vell, Thomas An- drew Jackson or John F. Kennedy.

Lyndon B. Johnson's likeness was stolen or misplaced, but they gol another and bung it in the rear. The hall, loo, rcflccls Ihe taint of tragedies past and trouble anticipated. It, along with most of the nearby hotels, is guarded by both machines and men. civilian and military, some visible, some not.

Tiie police are ordered to search all bags and other personal items. And near the blue, layer-rake podium are ramps, rcadv for Gov. George C. Wallace's wheelchair. You know, too, that you're at a convention when: --Women care more about the buttons they're wearing than tlie clotlies they're pinned lo.

--Television cameras attract more attention than (fie nudie floor shows at the nighl clubs. --People pass oul leaflels to people passing oul leaflets. --Delegates interview reporters. --Thrre out of four people gelling on hole! clevalors don'l care which way il's going.

Fischer took on" look at the dozen different chairs the Icelanders liad asssembld from Reykjavik's furniture stores the other day, sat down in some of them and Ilicn gave bis verdict: "Fly in my own chair." Spassky, the 35-year-old world champion, did not seem lo worry much about details of (be $250,000 match.

Iklore leaving (or a salmon fishing tour of northern Iceland the defending champion said, "I am not going lo argue about chairs, chess- boards and sets. I will leave that lo Bobby. It makes no difference to me." After lengthy and dramatic preludes, both Fischer and Spassky appeared ready lo slart the first of Iheir 21 games Tuesday. "Hobby is relaxed and ready, We will play Tuesday unless Spassky is ill," said Fred Cramer, vice president of Ibe U.S, Chess Federation.
