fttm Wirt Ditpotchei MIAMI BEACH-Sen. George McGovern recaptured his sweep of California's 271 delegates in a feuding, tumultuous Democratic National Convention early today and vaulted to the brink of the presidential nomination. A Florida challenge forced a second roll call vote on the California case. But McGovern's show of strength in the first voting demonstrated where the power was. The initial vote on the crucial challenge was 1,618.28 to seat a solid McGovern delegation from California, with 1,238.22 against.

The Associated Press count of delegate strength showed that with his California sweep restored, McGovern stood within 24 votes of the majority needed to capture the White House nomination. McGOVERN'S GOAL during the opening session was to recapture 151 California delegate votes denied him by the party's credentials committee. The decision on the majority needed to reclaim them is crucial to him in the tight, hard-fought battle against Humphrey. The test vote deciding the majority had been expected to come on South Carolina, the first challenge to be taken up. But it was put off when the South Caroliina challenge was defeated by a roll call of 1,555.75 to 1,429.05.

This was well over the absolute majority of 1,509 votes, and thereby deprived Humphrey's forces of the chance to set in motion their appeal of party chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien's ground rules. South Carolina Gov. John C. West, was prevented from chal-1 i O'Brien's ruling and force a showdown over the crucial question of the size of a majority vote.

But he claimed a victory of sorts for the stop-McGovern camp. The defeat of his delegation's challenge he said, "indicates he (McGovern) does not have the votes at present for the SAID VEST: "1 think it's the first al indication of an open convention. It's not locked up. It slows regular (McGovern's) momentum." Around Our Town at 8 p.m. EDT, exactly a half-hour behind schedule, and more than 5,000 delegates and alternates settled in their seats in the cavernous red, white and blue hall for a long and stormy night.

Earlier, a Washington Post vote count based on updated information from special correspondents in the 50 states, estimated that the McGovern forces would have at least 1,510 votes on the California challenge more than enough for victory. But the floor representatives of the angry anti-McGovern coalition, led by Humphrey and Wallace maneuvered for a parliamentary opening that could overturn the rulings of party chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien, which they said unfairly tipped the balance in McGovern 's direction. O'BRIEN warned in the convention's first major speech that the next few days would determine whether the Democrats' ambitious self-reform program would strengthen the party for the coming campaign or be "an exercise in self-destruction." Three hours before O'Brien gaveled the convention into busk ness, the anti-McGovern group finally picked up the formal support of Sen. Edmund S.

Mus-kie. The Maine senator, who began the year expecting to be the nominee himself, said he would advise his delegates to vote against McGovern's challenge to the Credentials Committee decision abrogating the California winner take all primary and distributing 151 McGovern votes among his rivals. Muskie made his announcement after McGovern had scuttled the last-minute compromise effort Muskie had launched yesterday morning. Muskie asked all the other candidates to meet with him and O'Brien to hammer out an a that would end the internal conflict he said was turning the convention into "two armed camps." As the California vote reared, the Post's count of pro-McGov-ern votes tended to confirm the claim of Gary Hart, McGovern's campaign manager, that he had over 1,500 votes in hand.

A. Harvey, p. 23. 42 Pages By Hugh McDiarmid Journol Herald Staff Writer MIAMI BEACH Six Ohio delegates defected from the Humphrey camp early today in the critical vote on seating the all-McGovern California delegation to the Democratic National Convention. The Ohio vote was' 78-75 in favor of accepting the Credentials Committee report that would have taken away 151 of McGovern's 271 votes.

A total of 84 Ohio delegates are pledged to Sen. Hubert Humphrey. Frank W. King, chairman of the Ohio delegation, had hoped to hold them all in line on California. The six Humphrey delegates who defected on the California issue were Cincinnati Councilman Theodore M.

Berry; Toledo industrialist Edward Lamb: Kent State student Michael Pierce; former U.S. Rep. Robert Sweeney of Cleveland; Warren school teacher John G. Beard, and Charles E. Nash, a farmer from Leipsic, near Find-lay.

Court tells Detroit to buy buses DETROIT (UPI) U.S.

District Judge Stephen J. Roth yesterday ordered the state of Michigan to purchase 295 school buses to prepare for a possible cross-district busing program to integrate metropolitan Detroit area schools this fall. Roth also denied the state's request to delay further action on the Detroit case pending the outcome of appeals of his ruling of last September that Detroit's predominantly black schools were segregated by official action or inaction. In ordering the Detroit board of education to order the buses and the state to pay for them, Roth swept aside protests from attorneys for the state who argued that (here was no state constitutional or legislative authority to pay for the buses. The 295 buses, at about $10,000 apiece, would cost the state nearly $3 million and could be used to transport approximately 20,000 students in an interim desegregation plan for Detroit and 52 predominantly white Pag 23 40 10-14 30 41 41 25 26 26 23 Off the Beat Radio Sports Statistics Television Dr.

Now he's on his fourth chess board, the one that Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky will play on for about $300,000 in prizes. The first one Helgason made was too shiny for Fridrik Olofs-son, an Icelandic grand master acting as technical adviser to the organizers. The second was considered too light, Helgason said. It lacked proper contrast.

THE THIRD one seemed all right, until Sunday. Then the Russians came to the 2.500-seat sports hall "where the 24-game world championship series begins Tuesday, and Yefim Geller said the squares were too IT o'clock yesterday morning to see for himself.

Overhead lights which cost $5,500 to install had to be changed, he said. The mahogany table which cost another several thousand had to be shortened by Ragnar Haraldsson, the carpenter who made it. But despite these last-minute problems minor compared with the disputes which nearly wrecked the match last week everything was set for Spassky to make the first move at 5 p.m.
