1 A i wmmm iliiHliiiiiilil By JAMES MANNING Tribune Staff Writer What Mayor Dick Greco called "our worst water crisis ever" plagued Tampa with mass inconvenience and the possibility of disaster yesterday, and officials saw no certain solution in sight. Greco renewed a plea made Tuesday that Tampans reduce water use "to essentials," and that they "especially" not water lawns or wash cars. "It's our only hope outside of rain," he added. MEANWHILE, Greco said he had discovered a $2 million "emergency" water contract intended to solve crises in the immediate future "would not really help to any considerable extent this problem we're having now." The mayor planned steps to amend the emergency contract, and said he had taken a "tough" new stance toward engineers under consideration for a contract involving a vast, long-range improvement of Tampa's water situation. Greco also said he would refuse the press admission to an 8 a.m.

session scheduled with engineers today. Broiling temperatures and little rain have been causing Tampans to use more water than the city can treat, store and then distribute. The result is poor water pressure. THE CITY'S ability to treat water ha been reduced an estimated 10 million gallons a day because of the need also to treat heavy water discoloration which, in this season, begins to infiltrate the Hillsborough River, the city's main water source. With continued heavy demands for water yesterday, air conditioners went out; water fountains went dry; toilets would not flush; and industries moved to the brink of what one spokesman termed "a catastrophe."

McGovern his hard-won presidential nomination as he searched for a running-mate who could help avert the threat of a ruinous intraparty revolt. A Southern-dominated delegation of governors, at a breakfast meeting with the South Dakota senator, urged him to consider a moderate like Wilbur D.

Mills of Arkansas or add the magic name of Kennedy to the ticket he will head this fall. McGovern reserved judgment. As Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, yachting off Hyan-nisport, ruled out once again the possibility of running, convention delegates still red-eyed from a nightlong platform fight took their seats to seal McGovern's first-ballot triumph.

AFTER A SERIES of speeches from party notables, delegates took up five can-McGovern was the fourth name to be placed in nomination, behind George C. Wallace and Terry Sanford. After; McGovern came Shirley Chis-holm and Henry M. JackWn. Former Sen.

Eugene McCarthy of Wisconsin won the right in a lottery to have his name placed in nomination first, but he sent word to the podium just before the opening of the night session that he was withdrawing. He made no formal announcement. Missing from the list were Hubert H. Humphrey and Edmund S. Muskie, the party's standard bearers four years ago.

Both bowed out of the race Tuesday after McGovern crushed their efforts to "stall his drive for the nomination. Late in the day, Rep. Mills joined Humphrey and Muskie in bowing out of the race. Mills left himself open for a vice presidential offer.

The Republicans will defeat him but McGovern shouldn't be taken lightly or regarded as a pushover, top Florida figures in the GOP declare. IF THERE is one thing that Democratic and Republican Party spokesmen agree on in the wake of the South Dakota senator's nomination, it's that McGovern' doesn't stand to run at all well in Florida. Sen. Lawton Chiles, said that "it's too early to tell" how McGovern will fare against President Nixon this fall, but Chairman Bill France of the Florida convention delegation said the nomination of McGovern will "tear the Democratic Party wide open." Florida's Republican national committeeman William C. Cramer said in Washington that he is convinced the majority of Americans will support the reelection of President Nixon.

But Cramer said it would be "a great mistake" to take McGovern or any other Democratic nominee for 'granted "not to go full steam, regardless of" whether the nominee had been Hubert Humphrey, Edmund Muskie or McGovern. THE EXECUTIVE director of the Florida Republican Committee, Bill David, said in Tallahassee he didn't think McGovern "stands any kind of chance in Florida," However the party spokesman said he didn't consider "any election a writeoff." Chiles, who gave the convention welcome address and earlier at least nominally leaned to Muskie, said McGovern had surprised him and many others who didn't think McGovern could get the nomination.

(UPI) President Nixon announced yesterday he would ask Congress to appropriate more than $1.7 billion to help rebuild communities in six Atlantic seaboard states devasted by tropical storm Agnes. The President also said he would propose that Congress authorize special disaster loans to affected homeowners and businessmen in New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia and Florida at only 1 per cent interest. No payment would be required on the first $5,000 of a loan.

"Never before has so thorough and so all-embracing a recovery effort been launched. Never was it more uniquely needed." Nixon said in a special, five-minute speech taped for radio broadcast. IN A THIRD STEP to speed disaster relief, Nixon said he had invited some 500 mayors, county executives and other leaders from the stricken six-state area to attend a special conference with federal officials in Washington Friday.
