"But as far as his being a help to the. Democrats In Wisconsin, I don't think It's there.

I don't think he'll win here." "The 60-and-older r's don't look very kindly on McGovern," said Rep. George Molinaro of Kenosha. "He hasn't promised them a thing." Assembly Majority Leader Anthony Earl of Wausau said he thought McGovern's biggest liability is his image "not the man as he is but as he is perceived." Several Democratic state legislators said In Madison they thought McGovern will have a tough time carrying Wisconsin for his party In November. "Statewide, I think he will be In substantial trouble," said Rep. Terry Wlllkom of Chippewa Falls.

"And if labor stays out, I think it will be drastic." Rep. Joseph Jones of Milwaukee, whose district was carried by Hubert Humphrey in the April primary, said the Minnesota senator's supporters have not yet switched to McGovern.

Alternate Terrl 23-year-old daughter of national committeeman of Donald 0. Peterson of Eau Claire, said she was surprised at McGovern's selection of Eagleton. "At first I wondered who the heck he was," Miss Peterson said. "But after talking to a few people, I believe he sounds like an excellent choice." State Treasurer Charles Smith said he was Impressed by Eagleton's qualifications but that he wished McGovern had submitted several names for convention consideration.

"This takes away some of the openess of our convention," said Smith. Miss Hawkes said she thought McGovern should have picked a mayor who had dealt with city problems in order to strengthen the ticket. Because McGovern will head the ticket and a relatively unknown senator will be his running mate, Miss Hawkes predicted Nixon would be reelected overwhelmingly in the fall. vlce-presldcntlal balloting, giving Eagleton 33 votes and Frances "Sissy" Farcnthold of Texas, 17.

Selection of Eagleton as the vice presidential nominee drew reaction from Wisconsin delegates ranging from warm praise to sharp criticism. "I'm just numb," said a disappointed Elizabeth Hawkes of Washburn. "I've never heard of the guy." "More Pessimistic" Miss Hawkes, who supported the unsuccessful bid of Sen. Hubert Humphrey for the presidential nomination, said she was "more pessimistic than ever" about the Democrats' chances to defeat President Nixon In November. Lucey praised McGovern's selection.

Lucey said he was advised by McGovern of the decision before the announcement was-made public. "I think the selection of Sen. Eagleton is excellent," Lucey said, adding he was not By Arthur L. Srb MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP), Despite the glaring sunlight pouring through the window, a depression fell acroa the room like a heavy, black cloud.

Aides of Wisconsin Gov. Patrick J. Lucey stared unmov-Ingly at the television screen as Frank Mankiewicz, campaign coordinator for presidential nominee George McGovern, announced that McGovern was bypassing Lucey as a running mate on the 1972 Democratic ticket. The second-place spot Lucey had coveted, Mankiewicz said, would go to Sen. Thomas Eagleton of Missouri.

The announcement ended Lucey's hopes of moving from Madison to Washington and ended six hours of nail-biting tension for Lucey and his young staff of "kiddle corps" aides, most of them under 30. Visions of a possible vice-presidential office for their boss who would then be only a heartbeat away from the White House seemed to weigh heavily as they awaited McGovern's decision. "Nerve Center" The buildup began early Thursday in a swank motel where Lucey aides set up their operation "nerve center" for Lucey, who was with his wife, Jean, and their three children In nearby Key Biscayne. "Everything that could be done hai been done and Pat Is waiting," an aide told news-, men and camera crews outside the hotel along the Atlantic shoreline. On the 14th floor, Lucey's news secretary, Blake Kellog, told a group of Wisconsin newsmen permitted to be on hand, that McGovern was believed to have narrowed the selection to "three on four men," Including Lucey.

Sweating It out with Kellogg were Robert Dunn, Lucey's executive secretary, and two administrative assistant, James Bailey and James Wood. Tension Mounts An announcement that McGovern had selected Lucey could radically change their lives. Two hours passed and the tension mounted as Kellogg and others sought to relieve the pressure, playing bumper pool and wisecracking among themselves between telephone calls from Lucey. "If we don't get word pretty soon I'm selling my property in Ireland," said a close friend of the governor in hinting he would accept an appointment as ambassador to Ireland should Lucey someday become president. "It's off," Kellogg muttered of a possible Lucey nomination as the four reached 1 p.m." "There's just no way.

We'd have heard by now," he said. A call came through from Lucey and Kellogg reported the governor and his wife Jean were waiting calmly for the announcement, although 18-year-old Laurie "Is a nervous wreck." Continue Pacing More time passed and Lucey aides continued to pace the Another call came from Lucey. "The governor doesn't think he's got It," Kellogg said after a brief telephone conversation. "He says he's not optimistic." Throughout the long wait, the aides were In frequent touch with the governor's staff in Madison. "I hear Marty Schreibcr Is moving furniture, around," quipped Bailey in reference to Lt.

Gov. Martin Schreiber. At 3 p.m., Kellogg said the "word we've got" Is that four people are still very much In the running, Including Pat. McGovern Is making some calls." The vice-presidential bubble, which Lucey had sent up only days earlier, burst with the Mankiewicz announcement. As newsmen were leaving, Kellogg said, half to himself, "By golly, one nice thing about it is our Irishman got close."

They urged strict application of the tournament rules that specify the clock must be started if a player doesn't appear on time for a game and after an hour the game is forfeit. They said the only valid excuse for postponing a match is a written medical excuse and no medical reason had been given. Geller and Ivonin said they were willing to discuss the playing conditions, specifically the presence of cameras. After turning over his protest to Schmid this morning Fischer went to Spassky's hotel to deliver a copy.

i I REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) -r An appeals committee rejected today Bobby Fischer's protest against his loss of Thursday's world championship chess game by forfeit. The four-man committee supported the decision of chief referee Lothar Schmid to a'ward the game to Boris Spassky because Fischer failed to appear. The decision left Fischer two games down in a 24-game match where Fischer needs the equivalent of 12 victories and a draw to take Spassky's Otle. 'I Andrew Davis, Fischer's lawyer who arrived this morning from New York, was in the anteroom when assistant referee Gudmunder Arnlaugs-son of Iceland announced the forfeit would be maintained. Asked if his client would j)lay the next scheduled game on Sunday, Davis replied: "I can't comment on that." i Four chess officials considered Fischer's, appeal.

Arnlaugsson said, "We agreed to support Schmid's decision. Three of us felt that ft could not be done otherwise, there was one against." The man who backed Fischer's appeal was Fred Cramer, fin official of the U.S. Chess Federation and an associate of Fischer. The other members were Nikolai Krogius, a Spassky aide, and Baldur Moller, an official of the Icelandic Chess Federation which organized the match. Fischer refused to play Thursday because he said the presence of three cameras in the Sports Palace where the games are played bothered him.

He stayed in his hotel room. A second part of his protest objected to conditions of play. Fischer wanted the cameras removed. They are used to make movies and television. Before beginning deliberations, the committee heard arguments from Davis and the Russians, who wanted Schmid's decision maintained.

Davis said Fischer wanted the game back, and deserved it because he said the playing conditions in the hall had been spoiled by the presence of the cameras. Aware of the contention that the cameras could neither be seen nor heard by the players, Davis argued there was no objective way to measure the noise nuisance. He said it was sufficient reason to stop play if one player objected. He added it was impossible to enter one player's mind to verify the disturbance. Speaking for the Russians- from the plant operation.

RadlOSCtivity. There was no buildup of radioactivity in the bottom or shoreline sediments. There was an increase in the summer samples of some of the periphytic shoreline algae, but not in samples collected later in the year. The periphytic diatoms did not show an increase in radioactivity. Fish CGPSUS.

Visual observations indicated a significant increase in the number of fish in the discharge area. Also observable is a significant increase in the number of sport fishermen near the discharge area since Unit 1 of the power plant became operational. FOSSIL FUELED PLANTS In the fall of 1971. the University of Wisconsin-, Milwaukee's Center for Great Lakes Studies began a two-ylar study of the temperature, currents, marine life and chemistry of the waters adjacent to our Oak Creek Power Plant. The study was funded by the Atomic Energy Commission, but with only enough money to pay salaries and none for equipment.

To help make the study possible. Wisconsin Electric purchased and loaned to UWM $40,000 worth of scientific instrumentation. the summer of 1971, we completed a new $1,000,000 settling basin at. Oak Creek Power Plant to collect solid wastes which might otherwise have found a path into Lake Michigan. After settling, these wastes are removed by truck to a land-fill site.

Early in July 1972 we completed additional settling basin facilities at our Port Washington THE JOB'S NOT DONE As we pointed out in an earlier message on cleaner air, neither we nor any other industry has achieved a perfect balance with nature. But we are making a sincere and dedicated effort to intrude on the environment as little as is possible and POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT The waters near Point Beach Nuclear Plant have been studied by various groups of the scientific, community before, during and after construction, and research is continuing after more than 1 Vz years of operation of Unit 1. The nature of the experiments and the agencies conducting them are listed in the box below. Not one of these studies has turned up evidence of any adverse effect on the ecology of Lake Michigan from operation of the plant. Recently we received the latest progress report.

Its 184 pages of charts, graphs and analyses confirm previous studies; No adverse effect on the ecology of Lake Michigan. The following is a summary of findings in specific areas: PhytOpldnktOD. There was no change in the 1971 periphytic diatom population composition in the area outside the discharge flumes, when compared to the population composition for 1969 and 1970.

(Unit 1 began commercial operation in December 1970.) A preliminary study showed no "significant mortality to the diatom community as a result of passing through the cooling system of the plant. ZOOpldnktOfl. The zooplankton population did not change significantly during 1971 as compared with 1969 and 1970. The populations of the zooplankton and their appearance -were -simitar to that obtained during 1969 and 1970. SodimOnt, The bottom and shoreline sediment size was similar to that obtained for 1969 and 1970 with the exception that the bottom sediments of one sampling station immediately outside of the south discharge flume seem to have become coarser as a result of continuous water discharge iMaier's Remark Is Clarified MIAMI BEACH, Fla.
