Askew Gains Support Following Keynoter mm Delegate Helen Lynn of Tampa, a Wallace delegate, said the keynote "didn't interest me. He let us down on the busing issue." Askew opposed an anti-busing proposal that was on the March 14 Florida ballot. delegates were something less than enthusiatic, although Florida Delegation Chairman Bill France, a Wallace man, at first said Askew made a "great speech," and then qualified it with: "Well, it sounded good." ct' -m. i iww.wiwi.iim mmmmmmmu i.wMV-.:-m A -if I vvJ VV 1 CHECK OUR DISCOUNT WINE CELLAR FRL, SAT.

The Florida senator said that on the one hand people are afraid of McGovern because of some of the things he advocates, yet on the other hand "people are looking for change and seem to embrace things he's saying." Chiles said that even though McGovern will have a tough time of it in Florida, "across the country he may run a lot closer race than people think." BETWEEN NOW and November, said Chiles, it's a question of how McGovern's image changes. But to Chairman France, a Wallace supporter, the nomination of assures "the largest exodus of Democrats in November in years." France said he is sure that McGovern is a fine man personally although he said S-A THE TAMPA TRIBUNE Ttiursday, Jnly 13, 1972 McGovern Silent On 2nd Spot From Page 1 choice of a vice presidential running mate. After he talks to Sen. Edward M. Kennedy by telephone, he will make his choice known some time before the final convention session decides the issue and hears McGovern's acceptance EVEN BEFORE McGovern was nominated, circulars were spreading through the convention floor reading: "Help Draft Ted Kennedy for president.

It can be done." McGovern, the son of a tethodist preacher from the Squth Dakota plains, triumphed after a hard fought campaign he began in January, 1971, as a virtual unknown. He fashioned a youth- -ful following of protesters, reform of the party rules and consummate political skill into aa unbeatable lead for the nomination soon after the convention began Monday night. But his victory, one week before his 50th birthday, already was clouded by rancor and threats of rebellion. SOME DELEGATES, notably from conservative Texas, were openly hostile. The AFL-C6, with its powerful political muscle, was hinting it might suVout the election rather tSaa endorse McGovern.

Wallace, angered by defeat of his efforts to rewrite the Pro-McGovern party platform, considered reviving a third party movement in the South, his aides said. about 100 young anti-War demonstrators, shouting that McGovern was "selling -out" on Vietnam, carried fhrelf to the lobby of "the nominee's oceanfront hotel. 'Protest leaders called-McGovern a "false hope" and accused him of appeasing the party's right wing by announcing Tuesday he would keep "a residual UJS. force in Southeast Asio until American prisoners of war are freed. Abraham Ribicoff of Connecticut told the convention that McGovern was not dividing but strengthening the party and was ready to pit "the finest political organiza-ton" in the history of American politics" against the Re-publicnas.

"Instead of reading the polls, George McGovern was reading the mood of the country," Ribicoff told the roaring crowd. "And he read it right." U.S. Chess Champion Loses In Title Opener I Says It's All Wasted By JACK GREENE Tribune Staff Writer MIAMI BEACH The unofficial astrologer of the Democratic National Convention has bad news for the party "There is no problem with Nixon winning in November." Because of that, says Clifford McMillen, "It (the Democratic convention) is all a waste of time." McMlLLEN ALSO offers this advice on tonight's highlight by stating, "The vice presidential nominee should be (U.S. Sen. Edmund) Muskie." Who is McMillen? He is listed in some convention reference material as Professor Clifford McMillen, an astrologer.

He long ago predicted George McGovern would be the nominee for president, and delegates last night made true what McMillen saw in the stars for McGovern. McMillen, a teacher in astrology and ESP in the Dade County school system and at the Miami Museum of Science, said he has had calls from some delegates. He has not advised the delegates how to vote, only told them what would happen, McMillen said. McGOVERN'S SIGN is Cancer and he's getting aid from "a certain planet moving in his behalf," according to McMillen. Muskie's sign is Aries.

Convention brochures, including one put out by McGovern, list McMillen under a category called "Useful McMillen was asked if there is nothing on the astrological horizon that could alter the November prediction. "No. There will be much favorable publicity the first week of October it will come from developments at home, not in the war that will carry well over into a winning election." This information came to a reporter in an interview. The delegates don't know about it, so they are staying here to get a national ticket and most are predicting a Democratic win in November. he's never met him but France said it is the McGovern philosophy he can't support.

The Florida man predicted Nixon would be "difficult to beat." In apparent reference to Wallace's vote-getting power in this state, France said he knew "500,000 people in Florida that wouldn't vote for" McGovern. CRAMER and France tended to play down the impact of whatever vice presidential choice the Democrats make, but Chiles took the view that it could have considerable bearing on the outcome of the race. Cramer said that in the McGovern candidacy as evidenced by his. proposals and the platform his position "puts in clear focus" the differences between the Democrats and Nixon on amnesty, abortion, winding down the Vietnam war without surrender, and national defense. Agreement, but FIDE officials said they felt Fischer was bound by it- because he had cabled his acceptance.

Chester Fox the American company owning the television rights, said it would seek another meeting with Fischer's representatives before today's game in an effort to resolve differences. Income for the rights were vital to the Icelandic organizers who said they could lose nearly $100,000 if the match were called off. They are bound by agreement to pay Spassky five-eights of $125,000 even if the match is not completed. After yesterday's walkout protest, Fischer returned to finish play. He gave up when he saw he could not prevent Spassky moving his only surviving pawn to Fischer's' side of the board, thus turning it into a queen, the most powerful Fischer stood up, made a helpless gesture to the audience and walked off.

The second game is scheduled for today at 1 p.m. EDT. JUDGE LOTHAR SCHMID said Fischer was "very angry and upset backstage" when he left the playing board to protest the closed circuit cameras that televised the moves to the audience in the hall. "I told him it's allowed in the rules to have these cameras," Schmid said, "but when he said he had not signed any rules. I know this story is not finished yet.

We will hear more about these cameras from Fischer." By JACK GREENE Tribune Staff Writer MIAMI BEACH The people across the state and nation yesterday told Florida Gov. Reubin Askew they liked his keynote speech to the Democratic National Convention the night before. Well, most of those sending telegrams said they loved the governor and his talk. GOVERNOR'S AIDES by the end of the day had collected a pile of messages, all but three laudatory. Even one of the nasty reactions started off with "Congratulations." But the short wire that followed from the Temple, man was anything but congratulatory: "You have proven yourself a Judas goat." For the biblical scholar that reference is clear: The Judas goat leads others to slaughter and then escapes unscathed.

BUT THE RECEPTION was overwhelmingly favorable to the Askew keynote address, many along the line of the one-word telegram of Mrs. Marguerite Wefel of St. Louis, Mo. "Magnificent," she said. One Miamian may have been letting his state loyalty carry him away, but he wired the governor at the Miami Beach Convention Hall: "Congratulations to our next president, Reubin Askew.

McGovern, No." But the mention of Askew in presidential terms was aot restricted to telegrams from Floridians. From Kansas City, "As far as I'm concerned, you're another John F. Kennedy." Another man described the keynote as "the greatest speech since Franklin D. Roosevelt." REACTION FROM those who were in the giant hall to listen to Askew was about the same as that from television viewers. "It was the greatest keynote I have ever heard," said National Party Treasurer Robert Strauss of Texas.

New York Mayor John Lindsay said it was "excellent," and U.S. Sen. Vance Hartke of Indiana termed it "outstanding one of the finest keynote speeches of this country." Other national and state party figures including U.S. Sen. Lawton Chiles and Florida Democratic Chairman John Moyle praised the speech.

CHESS SOURCES said Fischer would forfeit the second game of the 24-game series if he failed to appear within one hour of the 5 p.m. (1 p.m.. EDT) starting time today. Angered by the presence of two closed-circuit television cameras high above the contest stage, Fischer got up and walked out for 35 minutes during the second day of play' yesterday.

He later returned to concede to the Russian on the 56th move. Two other cameras placed in towers out in the hall had been taken away at Fischer's request before the first game began Tuesday evening. Schmid said FIDE could ot accept Fischer's latest demands because the so-called "Amsterdam Agreement," made by the organizers and the two players, allowed closed-circuit TV coverage of the match, the sources said. FRED CRAMER, vice-president of the U.S. Chess Federation, who announced Fischer's demand at the closed meeting late noted that the 29-year-old American challenger had never signed the Amsterdam Are Set Back At Quang Tri a.S.

Scores of thousands took to the streets in a persistent downpour. THE BRITISH ARMY, fearful that the parades would spark a violent confrontation between the two sides, sealed off the centers of Belfast, Londonderry and Portadown. Catholics hate the Orange demonstrations as a flaunting of Protestant ascendancy.

Troops in full combat armor and equipped with high velocity rifles manned the parade routes, but they were stationed inside cross streets to avoid provocation. In Belfast, a six-mile-long procession of Orangemen ranks swollen by contingents of Protestants from Scotland, Liverpool and Toronto snaked through the city. The march skirted Roman Catholic enclaves and their havens for gunmen of the outlawed Irish Republican Army without trouble. The column included military-style vehicles manned by masked members of the extremist Uister Defense HZ Jk The Dis A i tanks attacked government paratroopers on the southwestern flank and drove them off their hilltop positions. THE ENEMY occupied the outposts, and the troopers called in air strikes to blast the positions.

At least three North Vietnamese T54 tanks were reported knocked out by wire-guided missiles. The southwestern flank of the operation is considered vital because allied officers have been concerned since the beginning of the drive that the North Vietnamese might attempt to circle around behind the task force and attack Hue, 32 miles to the southeast. Other battles raged on the northern, eastern and southern sides of Quang Tri City. Government forces claimed to have killed more than 40 enemy and knocked out nine tanks. South Vietnamese casualties were put at two killed and 24 wounded in early reports.

THE GOVERNMENT units were reported under continuous artillery fire. Allied spokesmen said a U.S. Air Force jet Tuesday blasted a hole in the wall of the 19th century Citadel in the heart of Quang Tri, paving the way for an eventual assault into the enemy-held fortress. The U.S. Command said a laser-guided bomb was used to breach the wall.

Lt. Col. Do Viet, a spokesman for the South Vietnamese command, said the strike against the Citadel was "only a preparation for our troops" and did not signal an imminent ground attack on the heavily fortified city center.
