McGovern claimed enough votes today for a first-ballot nomination for President at the Demo- cratic National Convention on the basis of gaining almost 100 previously uncommitted delegates, mostly blacks. At a news conference he attended with three members of the Congressional Black Caucus, McGovern said the 96 previously uncommitted delegates he gained would give him 1,510.5 votes. It takes 1,509 to nominate. South, where his support is considered weak. The United Press International tabulation, taken before the new addition, gave McGovern 1,340.65 delegates with 63 leaning.

They added up to 98.

But Fauntroy later scaled the total down by one when he said the Alabama delegate already was included in the McGovern total. He said a final reconciliation of numbers would be made later in the day.

Military sources say petroleum is the single most vital product Hanoi needs to keep its supply network and war machine running. At the same time, North Vietnam has greatly increased the. number of troops it is moving toward South Vietnam along the rain-soaked Ho Chi Minh trail, the second such escalat'on reported by intelligence sources in the past six weeks. Ranking allied analysts say both indicate that Hanoi is intent on trying to maintain its current offensive rather than agree on a cease-fire this summer. The pipeline construction was discovered in reconnaissance photos within the last 10 days but not disclosed until today.

Sources said the bulk of the activity is taking place in a 25-mile-wide buffer zone south of the Chinese border and 75 miles northeast of Hanoi where U.S. planes are at present prohibited from bombing. Some sources said construction crews have already brought the fuel line, paralleling the bomb-destroyed northeast railroad between Hanoi and China, to within 50 miles of the North Vietnamese capital, extending it from inside China. Virtually all of North Vietnam's fuel supply was cut off when U.S. planes mined its harbors.

In May, Hanoi ordered 40,000 tons of petroleum from Russia but only 3,000 tons were delivered before the ports were closed. WASHINGTON (UPI) The supreme court today ordered reargument next term in two cases challenging whether state laws against abortion are an unconstitutional invasion of privacy. "In a brief order without comment, the justices set new arguments in abortion cases from Georgia and Texas to be heard sometime next fall or winter. In a separate action, the court also called for reargument in three cases where new obscenity rules and standards were at issue. In the Texas abortion case, the state law makes abortion a crime unless necessary to save the mother's life.

Thirty ofher states have similar laws. Georgia's law allowing abortions for some reasons, such as pregnancy because of rape and the possibility of a physical or mental defect in che child, is similar to that of 16 other states. 1 lr After escape covered by bandages, was among other refugees from the besieged An Loc.

Simmons voted last week to establish an account in the Ruskin Bank to handle monies generated by the E. G.

Simmons Park, located near Ruskin. Shevin's executive assistant, Jim Barrett, told The Times there was no specific statute dealing with voting in such instances but said "he probably should have abstained from voting to have kept himself above challenge." Barrett then cited Florida statute dealing with dards of conduct" for public officials. The statute said no public official "shall transact any business in his official capaci ty with any business entity of which he is an director, agent, member or which he owns a controlling interest." Barrett said the statute carried a criminal penalty but doubted that "there has been any criminal The matter came up some weeks ago when county parks director Robert Williamson asked for permission to establish accounts in various local banks to keep large amounts of receipts from accumulating at the various county parks. The board approved Williamson's request.
