George Wallace of Alabama won an ovation last night as he came smiling before the Democratic National Convention in a wheelchair to plead for greater conservatism in the party's liberal, McGovern-slanted platform. But the convention seemed sure to flatten the Wallace drive, because Sen. George McGovern already had passed the word to his delegate majority already big enough to assure him the party's presidential nomination to vote "no" on all eight parts of the Wallace package of dissenting planks. WALLACE WON cheers and whistles by asserting that the American people were "frustrated, tired of big government," and knew that big government could not solve their problems.

The average citizen, he said, feels government pays attention to them only on election day and taxpaying day. As he had on a hundred platforms before the shots that cut him down in Laurel, Wallace denounced "the asinine, senseless busing of little school- NASA reprimands Apollo 15 crew for carrying souvenir stamped envelope on trip to Mooih p. 2.

HE JOINED Humphrey in acknowledging that McGovern's impressive victory in yesterday morning's convention giving him all 271 votes of the contested California delegation had wrapped up the nomination, ending any realistic chance for others. "I will do everything I can to assure the success of Sen. McGovern's campaign," Muskie said. He praised the "skill, dedication and plain hard work" of the McGovern forces and said these are attributes that will benefit all Democratic office seekers. The solid i of the McGovern forces in the credentials battle over the seating of disputed California delegations was a dramatic display of political control and the shattering blow to the hopes of Humphrey, Muskie and other competitors (Continued on Page 6) From Wir Dispatches MIAMI BEACH Sens.

Hubert H. Humphrey and Edmund S. Muskie abandoned their sag-g i presidential campaigns yesterday clearing the way for Sen. George S. McGovern to capture the nomination a divided Democratic Party.

With gestures of goodwill and words of unity, Humphrey and Muskie announced their decisions at separate news conferences. The 61-year-old former vice president and unsuccessful 1968 nominee said he would not permit his name to be placed in nomination for the presidency tonight and that he was "now releasing my delegates to vote as they wish." McGOVERN, who at 49 years of age has assumed from Humphrey party leadership in the Midwestern liberal tradition, said the withdrawal of his old friend and fellow native of South Dakota "leaves us all with a sense of poignancy, but most of all it reminds us of his 25-year fight for human justice." McGovern said Humphrey had been "my neighbor, my friend and my personal counselor" for many years, and that the relationship would continue.

Modern Living children." His partisans cheered, but there were boos elsewhere on the convention floor. "I am here because I want to help the Democratic Party," Wallace said.

"I want it to become again the party of the aver- age citizen as it used to be and not the party of the pseudo intellectual snobbery that it has come to be." Before the start of the platform debate, Flordia Gov. Reu-bin Askew delivered the convention's keynote speech. ASKEW SAID Democrats are responding to "a new coalition in this country a coalition of protest" 'and to "a thunder of discontent" coming from rich and poor alike. Delegates to the party's national convention, Askew said were chosen "in a ballot-box rebellion from Florida to California. "This is indeed the most representative convention in our history.

It's impossible, in fact, to look upon this group without feeling that one has seen the face of America." If the new elements in the party stay together and work together, they can elect an administration which will win a better life for all Americans, the governor said. "But," he went on, "it's impossible to ignore the forces of division that pull at us from every direction tonight, forces that would deny that people can stand together for the good of each, and the happiness of all.

It- took five minutes.

AS THE SESSION wore on, Chairman O'Brien took an informal, even patronizing, approach to Ohio's problems, propping his elbow on the podium and asking, in full view of millions, "Frank, are you ready yet?" Yesterday, King told newsmen: "I apologized to the chairman on a couple of occasions because we did look very foolish, very bad for a big state but there were some operatives of Sen. McGovern who I had never seen before who were unnecessarily interfering with the operation of the Ohio delegation. "I don't know whether they just like to be on the television tube or what they like to do, but they were responsible for making Ohio ldok pretty foolish (Continued on Page 6) HE ALSO was the butt of a good many jokes, including an anonymous scribbling yesterday morning on the blackboard at I headquarters hotel in Key Biscayne that read, "Frank, 2 plus 2 equals 4." A nationwide televison audience was treated to Ohio's awkward and sometimes ludicrous attempt to announce its vote on the seating of contested delegations and on the pivotal challenge to Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien's ruling on seating the California delegates. On several votes, King was forced to announce on three, four and, in one case, five successive occasions, "Ohio passes for the moment, Mr.

Chairman." Once, during the vote on seating California, King was preoccupied with the tally and failed to hear the chair asking, "Is Ohio ready yet?" State Sen.

King admitted yesterday his Ohio, delegation had looked "very foolish, very bad" on the floor of the Democratic National Convention Monday night, but blamed much of the trouble on interference by operatives of Sen. George McGovern. "I i 1 1 too many of them to have their nose in our business," King said.

''They deliberately wouldn't add up the column of figures when we already had them tallied." An Ohio McGovern spokesman labdftd King's charges "totally untrue." He said the problems stemmed from the awkward composition of Ohio's delegations. King, as delegation leader, was plainly smarting yesterday from i i i of Ohio's repeated inability to count noses during the hectic opening convention session. A 1 I.

Woods Telephone 223-1 III obby faces long odds in 1st game By Brainard Piatt Journal Herald Business Editor John D. Woods, who joined Winters National Bank nine years ago as an assistant vice president, has been advanced to president and a director of the bank. Woods, who will serve as chief operating officer, succeeds Robert A. Kerr, who continues as board chairman and chief executive officer. KERR, WHO joined the bank in 1968 as president and has been president and chairman since last March, explained the duties of the two men this way: "John will see that things are being done right and I will make sure the right things are being done." Specifically, Kerr said he will concentrate on the structure of the organization, personnel policies and development, internal communications and controls, auditing policies and procedures.

He said he will devote time to (Continued on Page fi) Lima State workers get jobs back COLUMBUS (AP) The state yesterday reduced its brutality charges against 26 former Lima State Hospital employes to simple assault and reinstated them to their jobs along with two other former employes who hao been cleared of criminal charges. The action apparently brought an end to a year-long state probe of conditions at the hospital sparked by newspaper disclosures of alleged cruel treatment of inmates at the institution for the criminally Insane. "I i lis HOPE that we can Some experts described the move as an attempt by the American to inject some life into a rather dull game. But the general opinion seemd to be that Fischer went into a simple trap. Fischer appeared to be playing for a draw from the start unlike his normal aggressive iac.tk-.s possibly arguing that a draw playing the black pieces, or defense, would give him a chance in the second game when he plays white and has the initiative from the start.

FROM THEIR T1RST moves, both contenders played briskly, trading queens in the Uth and 12th moves but taking no advantage through even the 20th move. The game began precisely on time at 5 p.m., but Fischer did not appear for several suspense-filled minutes. The play by play, Page 28 But as the game, progressed, Fischer appeared angry with himself. WHEN THE GAME was adjourned with one-half hour of playing time remaining, Fischer's second, Rev. William Lombardy, said: "Bobby is fighting for a draw." But Robert Byrne, another U.S.

grand master, said: "Fischer Is in trouble and he might lose." Fischer apparently erred on the 29th move when he took Spassky's king rook pawn and got his bishop trapped in the process. The Russian lost another pawn before taking Fischer's bishop off the board. REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) World champion Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union capitalized on an error by U.S. grand master Bobby Fischer and gave him only hope for a draw last night when the opening game of the world championship chess match was adjourned after 4'j hours of play. The adjournment until 5 p.m.

(1 p.m. EDT) today came after 40 moves of the first game of the 24-game match and gave Spassky, 35, who was playing white, a slight advantage with a bishop and three pawns. Fischer, 29, had five pawns on the board. Fischer, of Brooklyn, N.Y., appeared calm when he arrived eight minutes after the start of the $250,000 match and was welcomed by the capacity crowd of 3,000 with a 30-second ovation. Dressed in a blue surt and white shirt, he shook Spassky's hand, quickly sat down and took two minutes to respond to the champions' opening queen gambit by choosing the Nimzolndian defense.

The American broke Spassky's mobilization of heavy pieces in the 14th move but later in the game erred by sacrificing his last bishop against two pawns. Father Lombardy, said the American meant no slight to Spassky by arriving late. "The traffic was just a bit more heavy then we had expected and we arrived at the hall only a few minutes before match time," the priest said. EARLY IN THE GAME, Fischer went over to the arbiter a couple of times and appeared to be objecting to a huge sign in blue, white and red showing the international chess federation (FIDE) emblem and the name of the Icelandic Chess Federation. The sign decorated the stage where the two players sat alone with the arbiter and his deputy.

Fischer only left the table twice to drink some orange juice. He first complained it was not cold enough but was satisfied when ice cubes were produced. Spassky spent much of his waiting time walking about the stage and disappearing to the restrooms behind. The match could continue for as many as 24 games. As champion, Spassky needs 12 points to win.

Fischer needs 12.5. One point is awarded for a victory, and one-half point is awarded to each plaver In a draw. The games will be o-i TucsdMys. Thursdays and Sundays. If "ve they wll be completed on 't: days.
