Humphrey says his own mistakes and a flawed selection process have helped Sen. George McGovern become the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination. Humphrey said in an interview he still thinks he's the man best able to defeat President Nixon in November and said more Democrats support him than support McGovern. He said he would campaign for McGovern if the party nominates him, although he would like to see his rival change his views on defense, taxes and welfare. Excerpts from the interview: Q.

I realize that my task is much more difficult, because I do not have that number- of votes, of delegate votes. But his is likewise difficult.

First the Senate, and many hours later the house, approved the benefit increase as amendment to a bill President Nixon urgently wanted to continue for four months the government's authority to borrow.

The debt limit extension was needed by midnight, when previous authority was expiring. Mr. Nixon had termed the Social Security provisions "highly inflationary." And Rep. John W. Byrnes, senior GOP of the House Ways and Means Committee, said the President was considering vetoing the bill.

MOST LAWMAKERS thought he would not do so, basing this belief both on the political impact of such an action and on the fact the government within days would be in dire fiscal straits without the debt limit extension. Some of the pressure was taken off the situation, however, by Senate completion of action yesterday on a bill authorizing continued federal spending at current levels. This was necessary because none of the appropriations bills for the fiscal year beginning today have been approved by Congress and executive spending a i in theory, would have ended at midnight. The House and Senate ended the day by adjourning for a two-week recess covering the period of the Democratic National Convention The bill, as approved by both houses, would fatten benefit checks of 28 million Social Security recipients. It also would raise payroll taxes of 96 million workers to cover the additional costs.

FIRST STAGE of the tax boost would take effect Jan. 1, 1973. By Jan. 1, 1974, those earning $12,000 or more would be paying 41 percent more than at present. Also added to the bill was a provision under which victims of the recent floods In South Dakota and northeastern states could claim tax deductions at once instead of next year.

The House accepted Senate additions to the debt limit bill by a vote of 302 to 35 after defeating 83 to 253 a GOP substitute which would have lowered the benefits increase to 10 percent. The Senate defeated a similar Republican proposal 66-20 before adopting the 20 percent increase 82 to 4, with the only opposition coming from four Republicans James L. Buckley, N.Y.; Carl T. Curtis.

McOOVERN DELEGATES on the Credentials Committee voted solidly with the challengers while most of those committed to other candidates supported Daley.

The Daley forces vowed to take their fight to retain their seats to the full convention and also to go into federal court in an effort to overturn the Credentials Committee decision.
