Reubin Askew they liked this keynote speech to the 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."

BUT THERE WERE persistent though inconclusive hints from a Variety of sources that McGovern, fearing a Kennedy vice president might upstage him and undermine his presidency, was concentrating his attention on four or five other names.

These included Leonard Woodcock, president of the United Auto Workers, among governors and members of Congress. Some political pros suggested privately that the purpose McGovern's first post-nomination telephone call to Hyannisport might be more an effort to seek Kennedy's support and advice rather than making one last, hard appeal for Kennedy to change his mind about running.

West of WINDSOR TEN HIGH 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." McMiLLEN 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 1 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 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 Democratiic win in November.

"I don't want to get involved in the political battles so soon after my return," Rogers told newsmen, but added: "IT IS QUITE clear to me that that is not the case.

Lucey said, the governors were "generally optimistic'! about McGovern's chances of carrying their states this fall, "much more so than at Houston" when Carter led a short-ijved stop-McGovern campaign at the National Governors Conference last month. McGOVERN, one week away from his 50th birthday and only hours away from final victory in his 18-month campaign for the nomination, asked Democratic National Chairman Lawrence E.

The Florida senator said that on the one hand people are afraid of McGovern because 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 "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 McGovern 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 he's never met him but i 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.

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.
