Fla. AP -Aides to Sens. Hubert H. Humphrey and George McGovem are sparring verbally in a warmup for next week's National Convention while a federal appeals court considers the crucial Cali-' fornia and Illinois credentials Jack Chestnut, Humphrey's campaign manager, demanded that McGovem fire or repudiate Rick Stearns, one of his campaign aides, for saying that he favored a third party to "punish" Humphrey should the Minnesota senator win the Democratic presidential nomination. "Talk of punishment of the Democratic party is irresponsible and can't be tolerated." Chestnut said, reacting to the Stearns comments which seem to be part of en effort by some McGovem aides to convince party leaders that denial of the nomination to the front-running South Dakota senator would split the party.

Both Humphrey and McGovem were resting Humphrey at his Waverly. lakeside home, McGovem at his Eastern shore Maryland farm while their supporters spent the Fourth of July arguing the California and Illinois credentials cases before the U.S. Circuit Court in Washington. U.S. District Court Judge George L.

Hart refused Monday to overturn Democratic Credentials Committee decisions ousting 151 McGovem delegates from California and 59 uncommitted delegates from Illinois headed by Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley. Frank Mankiewicz, McGovern's national political director, said on the CBS radio program "Capitol Cloakroom" there is still hope the competing Illinois delegations can reach a compromise "and that something can be worked out seating them both."

Williams reportedly owed Rtutic $12,000 in back rent for a one-year period on the property containing the junkyard. Champi said an autopsy will be performed by State Medical Examiner Edwin H. Albano to determine the exact cause of death. Champi had no other details on the shooting itself.

One report was that Rustic had been shot four times by a revolver which was left at the scene. Rustic was a prominent developer and businessman in So-merspt County. In August 1967, he signed a contract with the Singer Co. to -purchase a major "portion of the Diehl Manufacturing Co. in Finderne.

The tract of approximately 124 acres included a large office building, a warehouse and a manufacturing building, which he had since leased to other companies. Both American Cyanamid and Johns-Man-ville Corp. now have offices in the buildings. The Rustic Mall Shopping Center in Manville also was developed by him. In February of this year, he met with the Manville Planning Board to discuss plans for increasing the 12 store complex to include a theater and retail store adjoining the bowling alley.

The theater is under construction at this time. In October 1970, Rustic do- nated the ancient Van Veghten House to the Somerset County Historical Society.

The weather was warm Chess Match Delayed lunches instead of the 60 minutes they had this past school year. The board won the right to set the length of the lunch period in May when an arbitrator the teachers association had protested the change and agreed to binding arbitration with the board ruled in its favor. The other two key issues in the negotiations won't change, the source indicated. The dismissal of non-tenured teachers will be handled locally instead of being turned over to an arbitrator, a procedure provided in the present contract. Teachers also will get a 4.6 per cent increase, raising the first-year teacher from $8,200 to $8,528 and one with 13 years experience from $13,000 to $14,248.

School Supt. Charles Boyle, usually the board's spokesman, said last night he believed a settlement with the teachers association had been worked out, but added "I wasn't at that (last Tuesday's) meeting." Restaino would not comment on the settlement. "The only way there can be a settlement is if the teachers vote on it," he said. Asked when that vote would come, Restaino said, "No comment." Board President Joseph Sherber said both sides had agreed not to comment on the negotiations. Benowitz, a source said, asked for the news blackout.

News on the negotiations which began Oct. 21, 1971 has been scarce since the teachers association and the board have agreed to previous blackouts. The board first outlined its offer pifblically at the May 8 meeting. Both sides commented freely during a teacher job action near the end of the school year in June. By SAM FOSDICK Home News Staff Writer EDISON Tentative agreement has been reached between the Board of Education and the Edison Township Education Association on the 1972-73 teacher contract.

the settlement resulted from a meeting last Tuesday between the two parties and Maurice Benowitz, a fact-findor named by the Public Employes Relations Commission after negotiations stalled last month. No announcement of the pact was -made at the time, nor would school board or association officials comment on it last night. Presumably, ho official comment will be made until after the 800-member association votes to ratify the settlement. It remains "essentially the same thing" teachers were offered on June 8, a source close to the negotiations said last night. Gerard Restaino, the association's president, however, said at that time he couldn't recommend ratification because the board's final draft of the agreement incWded an additional step in the salary, guide which he had not agreed to.

The major change in the new agreement is that a 10-man committee, set up by the proposed contract to evaluate the length of the controversial elementary school lunch period, will report to the board in January instead of February, 1973-the time agreed to in the first proposal. Recommendations from the committee (five will be from the board or administration and five from the teachers group) will be implemented in February "if both sides agree to them," the source said. Otherwise, the proposed contract is unchanged, the source said.

Spokeswomen at Perth Am-boy General Hospial, St. Peter's General Hospital and Middlesex General Hospital all said it was a quiet holiday with no major injuries due to fireworks. But at least 15 persons lost their lives in traffic accidents in the state.

This was not a particularly high figure and may be because the holiday is now officially a four day weekend.

Fischer arrived in Reykjavik early yesterday.

Nixon adminstration officials said they have been kept informed about the negotiations, which took place in Pyongyang from May 2 to 5 and in Seoul from May 29 to June 1. -j u. State Department spokesman Charles Bray said the agreement was "most encouraging and could have asal-utary impact on prospects for peace and stability" on the Korean peninsula.

The communique said the two sides have agreed to the following principles for reunification: It "shall be achieved through independent Korean efforts" without external interference. It shall be by peaceful means. A "great national unity shall be sought above all transcending differences in ideas, ideologies and systems." To achieve these goals, the two Koreas pledged to refrain from conducting arcimonious propaganda paigns against each other and to "take positive measures to prevent inadvertant military incidents." They also agreed to refrain from armed provocations and from slandering and defaming each other. As a first step they opened a telephone hot line between the two capitals Tuesday. Today the South Korean government began calling the Communist regime "North Korea" instead of "North Korean puppet." Joining the premier in throwing cold water- on any expectations of great strides toward reunification, the Information Ministry said- in statement today that the North-South communique represented "an attempt on our part to achieve peace and national reunification" and nothing else.

It said the outcome depends solely on the attitude of North Korea.

Premier Kim Jong-pil urged the nation to maintain its vigilance, asserting that a piece of paper from the Communists containing promises does not mean anything unless the pledges are implemented.

Kim told the National Assembly that Park Sung-chul, North Korea's second vice premier, used "undescribably abusive" words in attacking the South on the same day the North-South agreement was disclosed. He said nobody should believe that territorial reunifi-cation is around the comer. "Our political ideology cannot agree with that of the Communists," he said, "and although our dialogue opened as a result of the joint communique, we cannot change overnight our ideas, systems and life." South and North Korea announced Tuesday that they had held secret, high-level talks in Pyongyang and Seoul in May and had agreed to set up a joint committee to negotiate exchanges in a number of fields and to promote reunification by peaceful means.
