In a Hemphrey Omits Mace MIAMI EEACH (LTD Georee S. those who had no Humphrey said night. Humphrey's 429-plus delegates, many of them almost sure to back McGovern, will put him easily past the required quota. Humphrey's pullout came just hours after McGovern forces on and off the convention floor captured a crucial vote which restored to McGovern 151 California delegates which had been taken from him in preconvention rulings. That victory-and the weight by which it was won apparently prompted Humphrey to give up his decade-long quest for the presidency.

McGovern's other rivals were largely silent. Sen. Edmund S. Muskie met with his closest advisers to reassess his position already weak but further washed out by McGovern's refusal to join bis peace-making efforts Monday. George C.

Wallace announced plans to go to the convention floor tonight to press his fight for the kind of conservative platform he says the party must have for victory in November. Humphrey indicated himself after the nearly night-long convention session that McGovern had what it took. "The strategy was all right," the former vice president said. Humphrey in the roll of healer could serve McGovern as a bridge to Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley, who was unseated by the convention against McGovern's will, and as the man who might bring McGovern the support of alienated labor leaders.

McGovern's claim of victory cautious: "It would now seem that the nomination victory we have anticipated is within our grasp." UPI's tally showed McGovern only 43 votes short of the 1,509 needed for nomination, with 311 delegates still uncommitted. A sweet victory for many of McGovern's young supporters seeking to revenge the bloodshed of Chicago in 1968 came in the convention's decision at 4:35 a.m. EDT today to unseat Daley and replace him with a more representative delegation. The challenge to the nation's most powerful old-line political leader was a setback for McGovern, who had hoped to work out a compromise which would have avoided antagonizing Daley. The action shifted tonight to the party's platform, with Alabama Gov.

George C. Wallace hoping to make a personal appearance at the convention but probably not from its rostrum to lead the fight for his own philosophy. McGovern clinched the Democratic presidential nomination today when Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey withdrew from the race.

"After consultation with some of my closest friends and supporters, I have determined that I will not permit my name to be entered in nomination at the convention, and I am now releasing my delegates to vote as they wish." "My withdrawal from the presidential race is a withdrawal of candidacy only. It is not a withdrawal of spirit, or of determination to continue the battle. I have waged all my public life on behalf of in a statement. "On behalf of Mrs. Humphrey and me, I wish to thank those who have worked so hard for these past six months not only for my candidacy, but for the greater goal of a nation governed with justice and compassion." McGovern was relaxing in his hotel room when Humphrey announced he was conceding to the South Dakotan's nearly two year battle to beat the pros at their own game.

XCINO. 179 Library Wing Bids By STAFF REPORTER Carlisle Area School Board last night approved bids of $177,780 for construction of a senior high school library addition. Grim Bros, of Thomasville was awarded general construction contract for Steve Black, Inc.

Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) races son Patrick down the beach at their Squaw Island, home. Kennedy said is "no way" he would agree to become a vice-presidential candidate at Democratic national convention.

Hollv Work Delaved: Vote on approval was 5-1. Board president Railford Spencer dissented because of costs. The board designated Gerrit J. Betz, Mechanicsburg, to make a topographical survey plan for the Homewood site. The 34.9 acre property on Walnut Bottom Road and Noble Boulevard is slated for future use as a new middle school.

Betz estimated that the plan could be completed at a cost not exceeding $1,935. The board hired the following teachers: Miss Anne Marie Showers, Mechanicsburg, art at Bellaire and Crestview; Miss Donna Fay Stouffer, curtail traffic on a section of Big Spring Avenue and to develop a small mall complex in the center of town. These were two main considerations which received support from planners last night. The proposals were made by Nassaux-Hemsley consultants, Cham-bersburg, after a lengthy study of conditions. No action on the Master Plan will be taken until public hearings are held and approval of Council is received.

It is pointed out that a public hearing on the plan may be held "in about 3 or 4 months." Under the traffic plan, a section of Big Spring Avenue would be closed to vehicles between High and West Sts. and traffic rerouted to adjoining alleys for service to homes and businesses. The street would then be used for a small complex with park benches and landscaping to increase pedestrian mobility and enhance visual appeal. "Newville is fortunate to be in possession of the amenities derived from a small town and the development of a mall would partially recreate the traditional 'square or central gathering the report said. As an answer to the parking situation, the consultants said the only alternative is acquisition of existing buildings and razing them for parking lots.

It was recommended that the entire area adjoining the Penn Central railroad be established as a residential district to house future industrial growth. S. Viets Attack From 3 Sides SAIGON (UPI)-An estimated 4,500 South Vietnamese marines and paratroopers attacked embattled Quang Trl City today from three sides, pushing back into the city's southern edge and staging a surprise assault behind Communist lines. Military spokesmen said the airborne troops, landed by U.S. helicopters, punched into the southwest corner of the city in a daybreak assault that met heavy Communist resistance.

The attack came after government paratroopers were forced to re-group Monday just outside the city, leaving it temporarily in North Vietnamese control.

The district attorney's office told Judge Clinton Weidner it understood that medical reports might affect the sentencing of the Robert Brickley of 600 W. Penn because he had a heart condition.

The prosecution moved for an independent medical report on Brickley and this was approved by Judge Weidner.

George Leader, chief organizer for Hubert Humphrey in Pennsylvania, failed to hold all his delegates in line early today on the first crucial vote of the Democratic National Convention. The feuding state delegation voted 72-105 when the convention gave George McGovern all 271 California delegates and a big push toward the presidential nomination. Five state delegates abstained.

Six of the "yes" votes came from the delegates committed to Humphrey, the victim of the California vote. Eleven came from the caucus committed to Edmund Muskie. Leader, who tried to keep his 74-member Humphrey caucus together, was disgruntled by the outcome. "We had a slippage of six votes," he said. He refused to identify them.

"The ball game is over," Leader said. "This whole convention is over. Humphrey doesn't have a chance now. We will await instructions from our candidate." The ex-governor served as a negotiator for Humphrey at the 1968 convention. All of the Pennsylvania votes were bogged down by a long, complicated balloting process demanded by the McGovern caucus.

The delegation was forced to pass at least once or twice on every convention roll call until the vote was tallied. Leader, elected chairman of the delegation only an hour before the convention began, was aggravated by the balloting process. "I believe in reform," he said, "but not at the expense of the (Continued on Page 6) 7 Approved pressure from the joints caused a problem in the recent flooding. The state is paying the borough $2,718 to replace a sewer line at Mountain Creek Alley, $3,400 for a sewer line at the end of Butler Street on Mountain Creek alley, and $381 to repair and clean the sewer plant.

Mayor Sheaffer said the police car "had run hot" the day after the flood and resulted in $200 repairs again. Sheaffer said he thought the car ought to be replaced even if it only has 21,000 miles so far. Sheaffer also thanked the people of his boroijjh and relief officials for cooperating 100 per cent during the flood when it came to moving out of homes.

He said, "There were no short tempers as before." Council accepted from the solicitor, Murray Bryan, deeds of dedication for proposed streets on Herman Street extended and Butler Street extended from Mooreland Avenue to the borough line. Bryan also said it was pointed out that issuance of building permits should be conditional upon building sidewalks and curbs for properties. He said the power to have this done is already there, and he would check it further for the next meeting. There is federal money available, but county and local municipalities would be responsible for obtaining land rights, and with other expenses, such costs could exceed $2 million. Commissioners claim none of the area municipalities showed interest in helping finance the local share, and the commissioners feel the county can not affors such an expense.

Trostle said, "If they come up with 1 serious plan with costs of $500,000 the county might be able to Water Line By STAFF REPORTER MOUNT HOLLY Work on flood prevention here is pending reports from state and Corps of Engineers officials. Council President Samuel Garonzik last night said, "There's been nothing done except working on the sewer line what with the high water and all that." He said nothing has been done about the banks of Mountain Creek which figured in the recent flood disaster, but added that federal workers were at the sewer plant cleaning up the effluent from a nearby stream. It was also noted no word had been heard from the county commissioners concerning a federal survey taken after the July, 1970 flood which recommended a watershed project. Council voted to supply water service to Deer Lodge. Water will run through a six-inch line to be laid at the owner's expense.

If the line is extended in "Upper Holly" in the future, Deer Lodge gets reimbursed 80 per cent of the balance of it's credit at that point, Garonzik said. Council asked the borough engineer to attend a meeting with the PPG Industries engineer tonight relative to water disposal. The firm has requested the borough authority to accept 95,000 gallons of industrial waste water heated above 56 degrees. The company will pay the costs of additional sewer plant construction to handle this load. It was reported the state would repair a storm sewer at the end of Hill Street on the Condor-Murphy plant property.
