Coast Guard investigation shows. Cmdr. Marvin Bromen of the Coast Guard office here said Thursday that the debris and river force tore the head boat and docking fleet from their moorings and sent them downstream along with 59 boats at the marina. The drifting boats knocked 15 more boats loose from another marina downstream. Five more portion of the docking area.

PERHAPS only in Milwaukee, beer capital of the country, is such an event possible but "suds night" at a recent Brewers baseball game must have been a lulu. The price of a 12-ounce cup of brew was knocked down from 50 cents to one thin dime. And, for the second year of the special promotion, the fans apparently loved it. Some 21,000 Milwaukeeans turned out on a shivering night to drink and cheer mostly drink, according to the statistics. 1 A total 121,000 cups of beer were sold, concession people reported.

(If you're slow on math, that's about six cups for every paying customer. By the time the average rises with exclusion of youngsters and others who didn't drink, it's no wonder that 58 persons were pinched, mostly for drunk and disorderly behavior. As one observer reported: "Veterans of last year's 10-cent beer night dressed for the occasion in raincoats. Those who didn't will be taking trips to the dry cleaners. Beer was slopped on you by the guy squeezing down the row to get to his seat.

Beer was dropped on you by the guy in the row behind you. Beer was thrown at you by an unknown assailant a few rows back. "By the seventh inning, the stadium was strictly hard hat country. If the drinkers were considerate they drank the beer before they threw the cup at you. If they weren't so thoughtful, you got a free beer shampoo." Fun? To some, perhaps.

But not to Milwaukee's Finest. "On the record I won't say anything," said one policeman, "but off the record this stinks. If I had paid to get in here I would have left by the second inning." mm -1 it. jC But the debris began piling up again shortly after midnight Monday and the marina was warn fmr are ft if snapped from moorings.

The longer the American prima donna continues his act the more accurate that impression will seem.

On both sides, the buildup is increasing at a furious rate, and the policy-makers in Washington are deeply disturbed Nixon's Reflections President Nixon, in a private chat with friends about his Peking and Moscow visits, dispelled any notion that Red China's aging patriarch: Mao Tse-tung, is incompetent. The President described old Mao as highly alert and engaging.

Nixon also found Mao's counterpart in Moscow. Leonid Brezhnev, robust and hearty with a quick sense of humor Brezhnev doodled on a piece of paper while they talked about missiles, silos and submarines. At one point, he looked up from his doodling, recalled the President, and blurted mischievously: "You know more about our silos than Ido." Kissinger's Bodyguard The story can now be told how a Secret Service agent almost gave away Henry Kissinger's secret mission to Peking in July 1971. Kissinger slipped across the border from Pakistan into China to make the arrangements for President Nixon's subsequent visit. The cover story was put out that Kissinger was ill But his bodyguard became suspicious and began looking for him.

The Secret Service man tracked Kissinger all the way to the China border and began demanding answers from the Pakistani authorities. They queried Kissinger in Peking He instructed them to hold the agent under arrest and keep him quiet until Kissinger's return. WASHINGTON Russia and China are preparing for war. There is no other way to describe the buildup on both sides of their 5. 000-mile border.

This has become the subject of urgent briefings inside the strategy councils in Washington. At least one brieting was called at 3 a.m. to review the latest developments. President Nixon has tried to play the role of peacemaker between the two Communist goliaths. He has stressed firmly to both Moscow and Peking that a Sino-Soviet war would be against U.S.

national interests This is a diplomatic way of warning that the United States might intervene to protect its interests. In Moscow, the President found the Kremlin leaders "obsessed" with the Chinese leaders. This was no departure, of course, from their past attitudes. For years, they have been whispering into American ears to quote from one secret report that "the Chinese wanted the (Vietnam wari to continue and expand" and that "they had aspirations in India. Pakistan, Thailand, the Philippines, etc." The British also reported, after a round of talks with Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin, "that he spoke about the Chinese the way Pakistanis talk about Indians." The cause of Russia's uneasiness has been China's build-up in the remote Lop Nor region of Sinkiang province near the Soviet border.

Lake Lop Nor. fresh at one end, salty at the other, is located in a bleak and desolate area. Until the Chinese nuclear technicians arrived, its only visitors were Lopnik tribesmen who came occasionally to spear fish. Russian apprehension has been heightened in recent months by the development of a Chinese solid-fueled rocket that could carry a nuclear warhead up to 2,500 miles. This would bring Moscow within the sights of Chinese missilemen.

The Russians have responded by building up their military forces along the border. An estimated million men, equipped with the latest Soviet weaponry, have lined the border. And new forces are arriving almost daily. want ad three times its normal June rate Monday night.

She said she could find nothing disturbed at that time, however, when her son returned from work later he discovered that his wristwatch was missing from the kitchen. Deputies are investigating.

Mrs. Smith holds important committee posts, but probably is best known nationwide for her record of never having missed a rollcall vote except once when she scheduled a hip operation at a time when she mistakenly thought the Senate would not be in session. Mrs. Smith survived her first intraparty challenge in 18 years, even though she stuck to her customary weekends-only campaigning. Women, older folks and many who are not millionaires will gain satisfaction from her victory.

Her millionaire primary opponent aimed his biggest guns at her age, appealing to young voters and liberals. She is considered a conservative, but the new young voters did not turn out in sufficient numbers to unseat her. She will face a popular four-term Democratic congressman in November, but Maine usually votes overwhelmingly Republican. It seems likely Mrs. Smith will continue to be an institution.

One Minute Pulpit With a great sum obtained I this freedom, Acts 22: 28 THE STATE OF HEALTH of the presidential nominees is an important matter to the electorate. It is a neglected issue, but it may, suddenly and dramatically, thwart the collective will of more than 80,000,000 American voters In tragedy. The first time it happened was on April 4, 1841. Our newly elected ninth President, William Henry Harrison, died of pneumonia incurred at his own inauguration. He served 32 days.

Harrison was 68, old beyond his years and feeble of manner. Most party nominees and Presidents act outraged when it is suggested that the people have a right to know that they are voting for a healthy human. Presidents are aware that most corporations will not promote executives without a sound bill of health, but the principle does not apply to aspirants to the White House. The eleventh President, James Knox Polk, served one term and died three months later, at age 53. The next President, Zachary Taylor, "Old Rough and Ready," was elected in 1848 and died 16 months later of typhus.

Poor Successors Lincoln and Garfield were assassinated both in reasonably good health at the time and were succeeded by two men poorly equipped for the work of the presidency. Andrew Johnson came within one vote of being impeached; Chester A. Arthur, Republican, made so many enemies in his party that, in 1884, it refused to nominate him for a second term. This was good sense because he expired in 1886. Our 25th President, William McKinley, was shot in Buffalo, N.Y., on Sept.

6, 1901. He was a portly, healthy looking specimen. McKinley, a conciliatory man who abhorred violence, was succeeded by a young and vigorous Vice-President named Theodore Roosevelt. He completed McKinley's first term, and was elected to a second. In 1908, the vigorous Roosevelt fought for the nomination of the fat William Howard Taft, and helped elect him.

However, after one term, Roosevelt became disenchanted with his huge protege and, in 1912, organized the Bull Moose party, which split the Republicans so badly that the Princeton professor, Woodrow Wilson, was elected. This man, tall and slender with a mentality as formal as a funeral, was elected to two terms. Wilson, after World War fought a losing fight for Senate endorsement of the League of Nations. At Pueblo, on Sept. 25, 1919, he sustained a cerebral hemorrhage.

He vacillated between a comatose and conscious state for the rest of his second term. In effect, the U.S. did not have a President. Neither his second wife nor his doctor, Admiral Grayson, would give an accounting of his health to the nation. The next President, Warren G.

Harding, was gray, handsome and incompetent. In the latter part of his first term, Harding made a trip to Alaska and returned to San Francisco to die in a hotel on August 2, 1923. Once more, a Chief Executive did not survive a term of office. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democrat, was elected to office four times.

In April, 1944, before he declared for the fourth term, his doctors knew that Mr. Roosevelt was a victim of congestive heart failure. Roosevelt, who wanted only to live long enough to see the end of World War II and the establishment of his "baby," the United Nations, lived to within five weeks of Germany's surrender and the first session of the U.N. Who's HST? He died of a cerebral hemorrhage in Warm Springs, Ga. Then as now, little importance except the political was attached to the office of the Vice President, and half the nation was asking who Harry Truman was.

He turned out to be an honest, ornery patriot. He was succeeded by Dwight D. Eisenhower, who sustained a serious heart attack in Denver in 1955. The American people showed how little presidential health means to them by reelecting him in 1956. He fooled his physicians by surviving two terms, dying after a fourth heart attack on March 28, 1969.

The next President, John F. Kennedy, was assassinated. He was our 35th President, and the eighth to die in office. It isn't a good record. It is impossible to foresee accidents and assassinations, but it is possible for the electorate to insist on medical examinations of party nominees, and a public disclosure of the results.

The work of the President of the United States, in my opinion, would kill a healthy ox. kERIE 2291 WATCH FOR DATE OF EAGIE PICNIC.)

Temperatures before dawn ranged from 101 at Needles, to 51 at Evanston, Wyo. Post that moment," one drafting committee member told us, "George McGovern lost his chance to be president." Mrs. Abram Chayes, an ardently liberal McGovern delegate from Massachusetts, immediately started writing a more liberal busing plank. But Van Dyk stopped her; McGovern would accept the Pelham-Sawyer compromise anyway! This reflects McGovern's newly pragmatic view that over 70 per cent of Americans opposing forced busing cannot be ignored. By the time the full platform committee took up the busing plank Monday, McGovern's militant supporters were restive over Van Dyk's tight control.

The McGovern-dominated drafting committee Sunday rejected planks on homosexual freedom and free abortion and approved milk-and-water planks on welfare and taxation. On Monday in the full committee, Van Dyk engineered votes defeating radical taxation and welfare plans once espoused by McGovern himself. But McGovern platform committee members, particularly blacks, wanted to return to the pro-busing "another tool" amendment. Since even the compromise would be opposed by Wallace at Miami Beach, Van Dyk made a spot decision not to impose discipline. So, the committee voted, 70 to 27, to record the Democratic party in favor of the massively unpopular integration device.

McGovern's attempt at moderation on busing had failed. But McGovern did not even attempt moderation on national defense. His lieutenants were frantic when the drafting committee, with Mrs. Chayes momentarily absent, voted 7 to 6 for a non-committal national security plank. When Mrs.

Chayes returned, the McGovernites got the drafters to send to the full committee both that plank and a rival McGovern version calling for defense spending cuts. That insured both defense and busing would be battled out on the convention floor with McGovern seerring to oppose strong national defense and favor forced busing. Put in those terms, McGovern's effort to keep the platform well to the right of his own pronouncements may have been mostly in vain. 2947 WASHINGTON McGovern and Wallace forces in secret negotiations last weekend attempted to unite the Democratic party on the corrosive issue of racial school busing but barely failed It dramatic episode showing how much Sen. George McGovern will compromise to be elected president but also indicating even that may not be enough.

In closed-door sessions of the 15-member platform drafting committee at Washington's Mayflower Hotel, agents of McGovern and Gov. George C. Wallace actually agreed on a busing plank that was later rejected by Wallace himself. But McGovern operatives the next day permitted the full platform committee to substitute a pro-busing plank, insuring a bitter challenge from Wallaceites on the convention floor in Miami Beach. The episode fits the inconsistency of McGovern's platform policy.

His dominant forces refused to budge an inch from dovish positions on defense and Vietnam but bent miles on taxation, welfare and social issues. His strategy on the crucial domestic issue of busing has been mixed, reflecting the entire platform. On balance, McGovern's march to the center has been a sometime thing. When the drafting committee came to school busing last Saturday, its liberal majority proposed a pro-busing plank: forced busing is "another tool" to integrate schools. That plank AS YOU WERE would guaranty bitter opposition from Wallace delegates.

But state Sen. Pierre Pelham of Alabama, Wallace's skillful platform representative, interjected. Why not let him and former Gov. Grant Sawyer of Nevada, an uncommitted delegate and one of the few experienced politicians on the platform committee in New Politics 1972, try to work something out? Ted Van Dyk, a onetime aide to Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey now running McGovern's platform operation, agreed.

Surprisingly, Pelham and Sawyer returned with a busing compromise worthy of the Delphic oracle: "Quality education is the issue busing is not." Moreover, "transportation of students" a delightfully vague term is endorsed only when it achieves "quality education." Whether that is anti-busing or pro-busing depends on the eyes of the beholder. Van Dyk quickly relayed McGovern's approval. But it was too late Saturday night to contact the hospitalized Wallace. Overnight, McGovern's inner circle was jubilant, joyously envisioning reconciliation between the McGovern and Wallace wings of the party to insure victory over Richard M. Nixon.

Sunday brought the McGovernites down to earth. Pelham reported that Wallace had vetoed the compromise, insisting on an overt prohibition against racial busing.

The nation's only woman senator, 74-year-old Margaret Chase Smith, defeated handily a 38-year-old millionaire businessman who ran a computerized campaign. Mrs. Smith is a veteran. She succeeded her husband to a seat in the U.S. House after his death in 1940, and moved to the Senate in 1948.

A week later another veteran legislator, Rep. Emanuel Celler, the 84-year-old dean of the House, was unseated in the New York Democratic primary by a young woman. Elizabeth Holtzman, 30, defeated Cellar, who has served his Brooklyn district since 1923. So it isn't necessarily age or length of service which explains the whims of voters. And apparently it isn't sex, either.

Another woman, the outspoken Rep. Bella Abzug lost her House seat to another representative in a New York district combined by reapportionment. Sen. Smith and Rep. Celler have been considered institutions in Congress.

No such prospect was in store four months ago, when almost everyone notably the correspondents of Time magazine assumed that Edmund Muskie would be the nominee. We were still taking comfort in those days in the old politics, and Muskie was the most comfortable old pol on the scene.

Kilpatrick the national share-the-guilt campaign, brought on by Vietnam, Humphrey had received rather more than his share. His nomination, it was suggested, might alienate many of the young people, but he could unite other elements labor, the blacks, the Jews, the old folks. On paper, we said, Humphrey looked like a unity man.

It was the old politics talking. Now it's George McGovern. His triumphal barge is floating toward Miami, straight into hurricane winds. A party that might have been fairly well united under Muskie, and not altogether fractured under Humphrey, threatens to dismember itself. The old politics, we are told, must now yield to the new.

I will believe the triumph of George McGovern, and I will accept such an ascendancy of the new politics, on the morning of Wednesday, November 8. Not before. McGovern will inherit this nomination through one of those freaks of intestacy that delight the chancery lawyers. The party of 1968 died without leaving a will. McGovern is about to go home with the family silver, but he inherits some liabilities also: He cannot well abandon his quarreling relations.

Forgive me a certain stubborness on this point. The old politics was the politics of compromise, of accommodaUon, of you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. It was the politics of patience, the politics that could embrace the pretty image of reform without actually taking the girl to the altar. It was pragmatic politics, the politics that worked. It is the fashion these days, especially among the more fervid evangelists of the McGovern revival, to denounce such old politics as the devil's work.

Getting along with Mayor Daley, in the new morality, is like knowing sin. I may be wrong I often am but I do not believe the old politics can be successfully disdained: Not if one expects to win an election. Under the new rules for Miami, the reformers have effectively expelled a host of old regulars. Under the proposed reorganization of the party structure, men and women who have devoted years to the Democratic party would be relegated to subordinate rank. HIS FLOCK.
