MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) Sen George McGovern, climaxing his dramatic rise from political obscurity by winning the first-ballot nomination of a divided Democratic party, was considering a broadening list of vice-presidential possibilities today after Sen. Edward M.

Kennedy rejected his bid. Soon after the votes of Illinois sent McGovern 's total soaring past the magic 1,509 mark in the jammed, brightly lit convention hall, and even before the official result had ben an-nounced, Kennedy phoned McGovern from Hyannis to offer congratulations. During their 15-minute talk, McGovern offered Kennedy the No. 2 spot for the race against President Nixon. Kennedy re- jected it "for very real personal reasons," according to McGovern spokesman Richard Dougherty.

Askew Bowt Out Earlier in the evening, Florida Gov. Reubin Askew, another prime prospect, told McGovern through aides he didn't want to be considered. McGovern aides said the nominee would make no announcement about a running-mate before midday. One close adviser said he felt the list of those" under consideration was expanding as the victorious nominee soughtrte counsel of Sens. Hubert H.

Within minutes after clinching the nomination, McGovern received congratulations and promise of support from all the candidates he had conquered, except Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace. But labor leaders in particular remained bitterly opposed to the senator, as did many delegates. "Bomb-Out" Sign One sign in the hall read: "McGovern Will Bomb in November." After two straight all-night, sessions, the climactic round of' nominating speeches proceeded swiftly, withJittle semblance of the old-time hoopla and floor demonstrations.

At last the roll call was reached and, as the 1 midnight, McGovern's nomination was as-sured. T. Bedlam burst through the vast hall as supporters celebrated the victory of the man whose youthful- legions had humbled the party's mighty. Hall Goes Wild Forty-five minutes later, when Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien announced the final totals, the hall again went wild, their long quest against what seemed overwhelming odds crowned at last with success, kissed and hugged one another.

A third roar went up five minutes later as O'Brien declared McGovern the party's nominee and designated a committee to inform him of his designation. The committee is headed by Ribicoff, who nominated McGovern in a losing quest four years ago and again Wednesday night as "a candi- The Vote Count The final official first-ballot vote for presidential candidate at Democratic National -Convention was: McGovern 1,864.95 Jackson 485.65 Wallace 377.5 Chisholrn 4 101.45 Sanford 69 5 Humphrey 1 35 Mills 32.8 Muskie 20.8 Kennedy iq.6?

Taking an unusually harsh tone, Madame Binh charged that President Nixon's eight-point plan proposed Jan. 25 and calling for new presidential elections in South Vietnam, was aimed merely at maintaining U.S. control of the country. "The demand for an immediate ceasefire to come before an accord on military and political questions' on conditions put forward by Mr.
