Jack Chestnut, Humphrey's campaign manager, demanded that McGovern 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 an effort by some McGovern aides to convince party leaders that denial of the nomination to the front-running South Dakota senator would split the party.

Both Humphrey and McGovern were resting Humphrey at his Waverly, lakeside home, McGovern 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 McGovern delegates from California and 59 uncommitted delegates from Illinois headed by Chicago Mayor Richard J.

It has since become a museum of relics and papers belonging to Revolutionary War Gen. Nathaniel Green.

An Associated Press survey of about two dozen cities shows that grocery bills particularly for the better cuts of beef and for pork have increased anywhere from a dime a pound on up in the two weeks since the latest warning was issued. Cabinet officials scheduled a meeting in Washington today with officials of food chains and called in farmers for a Thursday session to help in preparing a food prices report that President Nixon has requested by July 10. Shoppers, meanwhile, were issuing their own reports. "The food prices are jifst terrible now," said a woman in a Seattle, supermarket.

"I know how much the prices have gone up because I just started shopping regularly a year and a half ago when I was married." "Prices are out of sight," said a man in a Kansas City store. "The very first thing the government should have done in its economc program was to put controls on food prices." Supermarket executives warned consumers on June 16 to expect a rise in prices, particularly of meat. They said that wholesale costs have been going up and the retail outlets no longer could absorb the increase. The AP checked prices in a dozen cities on June 16, then checked again two weeks later to see if there had been any change. Among the findings: In Seattle, the prices of 10 items were checked.

Five went up, one went down and four remained steady. Increases included veal round steak, which went from $2.25 to $2.39 a pound, and rib pork chops, up two cents to $1.09 a pound. Stable items included peanut butter crackers, fruit juices, cheese, mayonnaise, butter and milk. In the Chicago suburb of LaGrange Park, pork loin end cut went from 79 to 85 cents a pound and jumbo eggs increased from 59 to 65 cents a dozen. Sirloin dropped from $1.59 to $1.39 cents a pound, but the manager said the decrease was temporary, due to a holiday special.

In Los Angeles, ground beef went from 73 to 78 cents a pound, sirloin tip steak from $1.49 to $1.67 a pom.d and a Swiss steak TV dinner from 63 to 67 cents. Items that were Unchanged included round steak, chicken legs, russet potatoes, lettuce, oinions, liquid cleaner and aluminum foil. A store manager in Los Angeles said, "It's hard to tell what is happening to food prices because they go up and down continuoually. We do know that our prices are going up and our profits are going down." Chess Match Delayed REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) The world championship chess match between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky now is scheduled to start tomorrow afternoon following another postponement, this one demanded by the Soviet champion. After holding out for more money and getting it, the American challenger came to Iceland for the postponed opening match yesterday.

But Spas-sky walked out of the noon drawing to decide who would move first because Fischer was not present. He had sent Jiie sppntift a Unman PaHinlir 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. State police reported northbound traffic "medium" on the Garden State Parkway Monday and last night, with the heaviest traffic Sunday night.

Page 6 SEOUL (AP) The Soifth Korean government warned its people today not to expect speedy results from its agreement with North Korea to work for improved relations and reunification of the Korean peninsula. 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 reunification is around the corner.

"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. 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 a 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.

The ministry added that national Unity is called for more urgently than before and the people's strong faith in democracy is more than ever vitally required to achieve unification. The agreement is expected to boost to the talks between officials of the South and North Korean Red Cross organizations to reunite the millions of separated families. The organizations have been holding preliminary negotiations since Sept. 20, and a few procedural matters remain to be settled before they begin the major busi ness. Their 21st meeting is to be held Mbnday at Pan-muiljom.

Nixon adminstration officials said they have been kept informed about the negotiations, which took p'ce in Pyongyang from May 2 to 5 and in Seoul from May 29 to June 1. State Department spokesman Charles Bray said the agreement was "most encouraging and could have a salutary 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 campaigns against each other and to "take positive measures to prevent inadvertant military incidents."
