Some old guard will return, nn will King be vith them? -r Ray kuss OWK I an analysis Weather Today's High in Low 90s Overnight Low in Low 70s Warm and Humid Probability of Precipitation 30 percent Details on Page 9 By Hugh McDiarmid Journal Htroid Staff Writtr MIAMI BEACH The so-called cream of the Ohio Democratic Party will be stumbling back home this weekend with cne of the worst political hangovers in history. The principal malefactor has been Frank W. King, a controversial and unpredictable Ohio labor politician who has become the unquestioned leader of the state's fading but still aggressive "old guard." Not since 1964, when the party scheduled a "pre-primary con-v i to decide whether George S. has a chance of defeating i ar Nixon in Ohio, a pivotal state in any presidential election. Also on the line are the party's chances for capturing congressional and state legislative seats held by Republicans in proportions far exceeding the number of Republican voters in the state.

And in 1972 unlike 1964 Ohio Democrats will be fighting a popular incumbent President at the top of the ticket not Barry Goldwater. THE PRIMARY cause of the Ohio party's malaise is Frank Frank King King, 60-year-old president of the Ohio AFL-CIO and one of the more noticeable characters to emerge from this week's Democratic National Convention. Had it not been for King's energies, the successful 1 a t-minute primary campaign put on in Ohio this spring for Sen. Steve Young or John Glenn should run for U.S. Senate, have Ohio Democrat woulds been so open and so sore.

That 1964 convention ended inconclusively and in chaos with Democrats from throughout the state leaping on tables, screaming and shouting at one another and, at the very end, throwing furniture around the north ballroom of the Neil hotel in. Columbus. THIS WEEK'S scene in Miami Beach was less physical than the 1964 eruption, but the wounds are far more serious. The fighting involves more than a U.S. Senate seat.

At stake is whether Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey would not have been oossible. And the collapse of Sen. Edmund Muskie's campaign, which had attracted support from Gov.

About Business And now (IUE) argued that the council violated instructions from Congress to exempt low-wage workers from the pay controls. They contended that Congress intended the cutoff to be at $3.35 an hour. This woul produce an annual income of almost $7,00, which the Labor Dept. says is necessary for an urban family of four to maintain a "lower" standard of living. A family with a single wage earner at the $1.90 an hour level fan annual income of $3,952.

The council's $1.90 figure was based on a study by the Office of Management and Budget, which said urban families of four with yearly incomes of less than a year are considered poor. The council said $3,968 a year works out to $1.90 an hour for a wage earner. The unions argued the $1.90 figure was unrealistic. Jones agreed, saying Congress had "rejected the poverty level earnings as prescribed by the Office ofManagement and Budget as a yardstick for determining exemption from wage control."

Marine Engineers Beneficial Association (MEBA) were the first by the heads of any major unions. MEBA, which supported Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey for the presidency in 1968, is made up of marine and other engineers and 10,000 air traffic controllers. THE MARITIME industry generally is well disposed toward Mr.

Nixon; the Merchant Marine Act of 1970 sharply increased federal subsidies for the U.S. merchant fleet. Meanwhile, Floyd E. Smith, president of the third largest union in the AFL-CIO federation, said he would seek to rally his International As-s i a i of Machinists and Aerospace Workers behind McGovern. And Ken Miesen, candidate for the presidency of the AFL-CIO American Federation of Teachers, announced he, too, will support McGovern.

In response to a question, Smith, who was one of the AFL-CIO's three members on the government's Pay Board and is a figure of some influence in the executive council, said he and his union's other officers "are going to do everything we can to win the endorsement of our convention for the McGovern-Eag-leton ticket." Meany and the AFL-CIO executive council scheduled a meeting Wednesday to discuss whether the giant federation should endorse McGovern or sit out the presidential election and concentrate on congressional and state election races. There appeared little likelihood, however, the federation would endorse Mr. Nixon, as Calhoon and Lyons did, because it has criticized the Administration so strongly on economic and other domestic issues. MEBA is in the AFL-CIO; NAGE is not. AFL-CIO forces fought hard at the Democratic convention to prevent McGovern's nomination.

McGovern, however, also has won support in the AFL-CIO from Presidents Jerry Wurf of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employes and Patrick Gorman, head of the member Butchers Union. They often are at odds with Meany. President I. W. Abel of the Steel Workers union, a powerful member of the AFL-CIO council, told reporters in Miami Beach he will not work for McGovern's election.

From Win Dispatches WASHINGTON In a dcision thatcould free millions of lower income wage earners from limitations on pay raises, a federal judge rule yesterday the Administration's Cost of Living Council must raise the wage control exemption level well above the present $1.90 an hour. U.S. Judge William B. Jones said the $1.90 cutoff figure was much too low. He did not say what amount of increase would be appropriate, but he suggested the $3.53 an hour level proposed by organized labor appeared reasonable.

Prior to the ruling, persons making $1.90 an hour or less were legally free to take whatever pay raises they could get from employers, without regard to the council's guideline callng a limit of 5.5 percent a year in wage increases. UNDER THE $1.90 cutoff figure, 9 million workers were exempt from controls. According to Labor Dept. estimates, a $3.35 cutoff would exempt another 14 million wage earners for a total exemption of about half the nation's nonsupervisory workers. A Cost of Living Council spokesman said the agency is considering appealing in the Federal Appeals Court.

A spokesman or the AFL-CIO, which together with other labor units filed the i i a 1 suit, called the ruling "an absolute vindication of our position." In his 20-page opinion. Judge Jones commented that the council's "alarm at prospect of an exemption from wage controls for 50 percent of the nonsupervisory working force is less convincing in light of its recent ruling exepting small businesss from both price and wage regu-laions." The Pay board, back when it still nad labor and bsiness member on it, voted down a proposal to set the exemption cutoff at $1.90 nn hour, calling that igure too Iw. But the board could not agree on a higher figure and threw the issue back to the council, which adopted the $1.90 figure.
