12 Corbin Times-Tribune, Wednesday, July 5, 1972 Contenders Warm Up For Miami (Continued From Page 1)' party's platform before the nomination proceedings begin. Alternate delegates may be forced to take seats in the gal- lery, Murphy said, because Credentials Committee rulings on contested delegations have resulted in half-vote splits be- tween warring factions. A number of protesters are already here, in advance of the candidates and delegates. About 40 staged a brief mock funeral outside the Convention Hall Tuesday for a young Viet- namese killed in Saigon Sunday when he tried to hijack an American plane. When they sought to drop a 3- by-5 foot slab of plywood laden with flowers into a canal as part of the ceremony, police re- trieved it.

twice, then carted it off in a boat the third time. The demonstrators then dispersed. While the demonstrators and party officials were the main players on this stage, major at- tention was still on the creden- tials battles in Washington. In Circuit Court, Joseph A. Califano the attorney for the Democratic National Con- vention, pressed his argument that the federal courts have no- role in the credentials issues, regardless of the wisdom of what the party panel was doing.

"If it (the party) wants to push the self-destruct button on these issues, that's its First Amendment right," he argued. The California case, heading for a convention showdown on Monday night, is the most cru- cial because the 151 delegates taken from McGovern by the committee decision to require proportional representation the 271 delegates may leave him short of a first-ballot nomi- nation. Including the decisions reached by the Credentials Committee, the latest Associ- ated Press count gives McGovern 1,281.9 first-ballot votes 237.1 short of the 1,509 needed for the nomination. Res- toration of the 151 California votes could leave him less than 100 away. Far behind the South Dakota senator are Humphrey with 498.55; Alabama Goy.

George C. "Wallace, 381; and Sen. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine, 225.55. A total of 454.4 are uncommitted.

In other developments: --President Jerry Wurf of the American Fed- eration of State, County and Municipal Employes switched his support from Muskie McGovern. But United Auto Workers President Leonard Woodcock said praise for McGovern Monday night was "misconstrued" as being an en- dorsement. He added he could support either McGovern or Humphrey but that "it looks as if McGovern is going to get it." --The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People adopted a resolution at its 63rd annual convention in Detroit condemning President Nixon for his antibusing views and saying he had aroused "passions of hate and bitter- ness" among Americans. Russians Postpone Matches By STEPHENS BROENING Assoicated Press Writer REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) The world championship chess match between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky now is scheduled to start Thursday afternoon following another psotponement, this one de- manded by the Soviet cham- pion. After holding out for more money and getting it, the American challenger came to Iceland for the postponed open- ing match Tuesday.

But Spassky walked out of the noon drawing to decide who would move first because Fischer was not present. He had sent his second, a Roman Catholic priest. Officials announced a new 48- hour postponement of the open- er, originally scheduled for last Sunday. They hoped both play- ers would be ready to meet on Thursday. Fischer arrived in Reykjavik early Tuesday.

The Icelandic Chess Federation had rejected his demand for 30 per cent of the gate receipts, but he agreed to come after a London in- vestment banker doubled the $125,000 purse which he and Spassky will divide. The 29-year-old American grandmaster was resting from the overnight flight in a guarded villa at the edge of town when Spassky counterattacked in the holdout department.
