His eyes brimming with tears, Humphrey bowed out at a news conference. 'MY WITHDRAWAL from the presidential race is a withdrawal of candidacy only," said the Minnesota senator, who first began running for the White House more than a decade ago. His move was almost dictated by MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) -Sen. George McGovern today cinched the 1972 Democratic presidential nomination, going over the top minutes after rival Hubert H.

Humphrey withdrew from the race. An Associated Press poll showed a combination of newly attracted delegates plus one-time supporters of Humphrey added up to a first-ballot victory for McGovern. Meanwhile, it was reliably reported that Sen. Edmund S. Muskie would also drop from the race today.

Humphrey withdrew with a pledge to keep fighting for "social jus McGovern's sweeping recapture Monday night of 151 disputed California delegates, putting him within about 25 votes for a first-ballot nomination. The Humphrey statement came after the Minnesota senator's press aide, Walter Wurfel, announced the withdrawal in an off-handed manner to newsmen awaiting the candidate's statement. Humphrey's statement was seen as a move to unify the Democratic Party which had been torn by sometimes bitter disputes between McGovern supporters and the backers of Humphrey and other candidates. Meanwhile, McGovern's campaign manager said Sen. Edward Kennedy is among two or three people being consid ered as Democratic running mates by McGovern.

"The list has fewer than five names on it at this point," Gary Hart said. UNITED Auto Workers President Leonard Woodcock also is on the list, Hart told newsmen. Hart said there is a good chance that the South Dakota senator will offer the position on the Democratic ticket to Kennedy sometime today. However, Hart said, there is no guarantee Kennedy will accept the position.

William J. Severs.

315 E. 9th and Patrolman Billy Graham, wedged between iron bars with three-fourths of their bodies outside the railing to pull the man to safety about five minutes after an apparent attempt had been discovered, police said. The man was taken to Franciscan Hospital. Rock Island, and admitted to the Mental Health Center for observation, authorities said. No one was reported injured in the incident.

GRAHAM SATO he and Severs dragged the man up about three feet. "It took about three minutes to lift him up. He was pretty heavy," Graham said. The rescue took place 125 feet from the Illinois bank of the river along the southbound lane. Severs said he noticed a car parked in the southbound lane of the bridge and saw a man climbing over the railing about 12: 30 am.

"I then backed my car up to the toll-taker's booth and told them to call the police. The tolltaker told me to drive off the bridge," Severs said. According to Severs, he came by again and could not see the man. He stopped to look and the man was hanging by his hands from one of the cables running along the underside of the bridge. Graham said he received a radio call and went immediately to the scene to find four persons who informed him of the situation.

"I THEN went to the railing and could see the man hanging from the cable, about three feet below the bottom of the bridge." Graham said. "The same time I grabbed the guy's wrist, another man Severs) reached out too and caught hold of him. We both pulled up, and the man complained about us pulling his arms out of his sockets," Graham said. When the man was brought up to the railing, others assisted in bringing him in over the rail. Graham said.

Billy Graham Explain Lid On Check Public disclosure of 1237,755 in state aid to the City of Davenport was delayed until city officials could determine why the money was received and what it was for. City Treasurer Theodore Lorenzen said today. The receipt of the money, Davenport's first-year share of the state Municipal Assistance Fund, was announced Friday by Mayor Kathryn Kirsehbaum, although the check was received in the city treasurer's office June 13. Lorenzen, who returned to work Monday after a month's recuperation after a hernia operation, said the city receives checks as a matter of routine "every day." "LIKE ANY other money, we wanted to first determine why we received it and what it was for," said Lorena'n. Lorenzen explained that all checks issued by the state are coded to enable officials to identify them.

"This check had a new code," said Lorenzen. "We later determined that it was our first payment from the Municipal Assistance Fund." Lorenzen said the money was deposited in the city's general government fund upon receipt. The $237,755 is equivalent to the revenue from about 1 27 mills tax. The city council last week certified its 197273 budget and set the tax levy collectible in September at 36 50 mills, a slight drop from the 36 72 mills assessed last year. The reduction resulted primarily from an increase in total property valuation.

Aid. Ralph Van Fossen, chairman of the city council's finance department, said today the finance committee will begin determining priorities for spending the $237,755 "windfall'' at its next meeting, Friday There was no indication the money would be used to reduce the tax levy on property.

Iowa delegates were willing to compromise on the crucial Chicago delegate question early tday, but when Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, refused the offer, Iowa voted along with the rest of the national convention to unseat his regular Illinois Democrats.

Many speculated that the 1.486 to vote to seat the Chicago challengers to Daley would seriously hamper the Democrats chances to tarry Illinois in the fall. A miffed Daley would devote less than lull energy for Democratic candidates, they believe. BOTH Davenport delegates, Mayor Kathryn Kirse hbaum, at large for McGovern. and Mrs. Monica Walton, in the Muskie camp, voted to compromise on the issue, which would have seated both 59 member Chicago delegations with each delegate getting one-half vote each.

Iowa's tally was 25-16 with five abstaining, to compromise, but the convention defeated the proposal after Daley apparently conveyed he would not be satisfied with the arrangement. On the substitute motion, the lowans voted 26 20 to refuse Daley and his delegates convention seats. Mrs. Kirsehbaum voted with the majority but Mrs. Walton cast her vote in favor of seating Daley.

Seven NASA Upbraids Astros For Souvenirs i i i 1 "Nonetheless.

NASA cannot condone these actions." NASA said it had learned the Apollo 15 crew had agreed at one time to provide, 100 covers from their forthcoming mission to the acquaintance in return for establishment of a "trust fund" for their children. "After the covers had been given to the acquaintance, however, they realized on their own that this was improper and declined to accept either the trust fund or the alternative offer of stamps in exchange for the 100 postal covers," NASA said WASHINGTON (AP) The space agency disciplined the three Apollo 15 astronauts today for earning 400 unauthorized postal covers to the moon and back last July and then turning 100 of them over to an acquaintance in West Germany. The 100 moon-stamped envelopes later apparently were sold to stamp collectors for $1,500 each, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) The other 300 unauthorized covers were confiscated and are impounded at NASA's Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston. NASA said after an investigation that astronauts David Scott. Alfred Worden and James Irwin "exercised poor judgment in their actiou." "THEREFORE they will be repri manded and their actions will be given due consideration in their selection lor future assignments." the agency said Dr.

George Low, N.ASA deputy administrator, commented, "Astronauts are under extreme stress in the months preceding a flight to the moon, and their poor judgment in carrying the unauthorized covers must be considered in this light. 1.
