California Credentials Margin Adds Power Plus By DOUG WALKER, Daily News Convention Bureau MIAMI BEACH By almost every political yardstick, Sen. George S. McGovern clinched the Democratic presidential nomination early today when the convention voted to seat his 271' California delegates. McGovern himself said, "It The U.S. Command said it had no additional information on the loss of the helicopters, which were from carriers of the coast.

The Marines were landed 22 miles north-northwest of the city, on the eastern side of the Thach Han river opposite the Quang Tri combat base. For the fifth successive day, entrenched North Vietnamese forces managed to stall the South Vietnamese drive to recapture the city lost 10 weeks ago. North Vietnamese positions inside the Citadel. There were secondary explosions every few minutes, he said, indicating hits on ammunition and fuel stores. Much of the ammunition was believed to be South Vietnamese, left behind during the May 1 retreat.

In the air war, the U.S. Command said cloudy weather cut fighter-bomber strikes against North Vietnam to 199 Monday, most of them in the southern half of the country. AIR FORCE F-4 Phantoms from Thailand carried out the major attacks of the day, triggering fires and 80 secondary explosions at fuel depots in the Mu Gia Pass area, near the Laotian border 70 miles north of the demilitarized zone, the arttraand said.

Daley's del-e a i which had been charged with violating party reform rules guaranteeing representation to minorities.

McGOVERN HAD attempted to compromise that squabble by seating both the Daley delegation and the challengers, giving each delegate half a vote. His bid failed on the convention floor and many veteran politicians grumbled that Democrats cannot win without the full support of Daley, support that is now jeopardized by the ouster. Others said that Daley's machine politics have been fading in recent years and a new political day is upon the land.

Frank King, Ohio AFL-CIO president, head of the state delegation and an ardent supporter of Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, fought hard to deny McGovern 151 of the California delegates. After the vote, he conceded that McGovern seemed to have the nomination wrapped up.

But he cried foul, claiming convention chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien had favored McGovern in his rulings. HUMPHREY HIMSELF telephoned McGovern to cngratu-late him after the California vote. He hinted that he might withdraw his candidacy later today and back his old friend and political rival, McGovern. King contended that the 120 McGovern California delegates, who were not challenged, should not have been permitted to vote on the California seating issue and that a majority of the total number of delegate votes should have been required to settle the issue.

O'Brien permitted the 120 to vote and required only a majority of those delegates eligible to vote to settle the issues. His rulings were sustained by the convention. HOWARD FINK, 39, a Columbus attorney who heads the 61 McGovern delegates among the Ohio delegation, was jubilant. He said he be-1 i McGovern has absolutely clinched the nomination. The Ohio vote was 75 to seat the full slate of McGovern delegates with 78 opposed.

In winning, McGovern defeated a very real coalition of opposition made up of Humphrey, Sens. Edmund Muskie and Henry Jackson, Gov. George Wallace, Rep. Shirley Chisholm and several minor candidates. ASKED IF HE, personally, and organized labor would lock arms behind McGovern if he is nominated, King said, "I'll wait until there is a nomination to make a statement." Fink was pleased with the orderliness of the opening convention session.

"I think you saw a display of dignity and discipline that be-lier the slurs about the McGovern people," he said. "You didn't hear any boos coming from our delegation." AFTER THE VOTE on Daley and his 58 delegates, the tired conventioneers withdrew other minority reports, affecting delegates from Michigan, Texas, Rhode Island, Washington, Connecticut and 1 a-homa, completed their credentials action, adjourned and fled to their hotels.

Tank-led North Vietnamese infantrymen and South Vietnamese paratrooper and marines battled at four different points on the northeastern and southeastern i of Quang Tri City. THE SAIGON command reported that 104 North Vietnamese troops were killed and eight tanks destroyed, six of them in one battle, by U.S.

naval gunfire and South Vietnamese artillery support. Government losses were six men killed and 13 wounded, the Saigon command said. "The North Vietnamese are In there to stay," said Capt. Don Dickenson, 25, of Braden-ton, an adviser with the paratroopers. "The guys who are there have been ordered to stay there." Associated Press corre-gpondent Dennis Neeld reported! from the front that Dickenson told him North Vietnamese troops were well dug in and around the Citadel, in the heart of Quang Tri City.

"THEY ARE well-prepared bunkers," he said. "They've been there for two months and they've used their time judiciously." "You can put 105 and even 155 artillery on those bunkers and you'll only give them a headache." Dickenson said he had seen 500-pound bombs dropped within 20 yards of the North Vietnamese bunkers and they failed to hurt anyone inside. "It's fighting in cities," he said. "It's dirty. It's rough, and it's different from anything we've had since the Tet offensive in 1968.

It's no longer the quiet little rice -paddy war." Dickenson's unit moved to within 600 yards of the Citadel to probe North Vietnamese strength and defenses, then pulled back Sunday. He said Quang Tri City is in bad shape but not completely smashed to rubble. HE SAID he did not see any civilians, that they had left because "they know that where the North Vietnamese are is where the bombs are going to fall."

"They must be using a Braille system," said one aggravated delegate as the entire convention waited a half-hour for Ohio to complete its vote count on a challenged delegate seated for South Carolina.

By the end of the marathon convention session, Ohio's reputation as the home state of the country's worst vote counters was secure. The Buckeye delegation even got a gibe on CBS-TV, Walter 1 1 wryly ob-served, "Ohio makes more adding machines than any place in the country. The great National Cash Register Co. is located there. But apparently no one from there is in the delegation." The May 2 primary election fiasco was bad enough.

Ohio's convention delegation proved that the primary was no fluke. At least, the primary was not president of the National Farmers union. John Beard, a a councilman who was slightly miffed that he did not recieve labor's endorsement in his last campaign. All five Humphrey delegates representing Montgomery county's Third Congressional district stuck behind their candidate on the issue. King blamed Lawrence F.

O'Brien, a i a of the Democratic National committee, for a "bad rule" on the California vote. O'Brien permitted 120 California delegates, who would be seated whatever the outcome, to vote on the issue. Without the 120, King said McGovern would have lost. Ohio's 61 McGovern delegates were better organized than the 79-member Humphrey bloc. They were carefully seated according to congressional districts.

By contrast, the Humphrey delegates sat next to their friends, leading to mass confusion when the votes were tallied. The tallies are arranged by congressional districts. King spent most of the long morning saying, "Ohio passes," as he tried vainly to figure out how the split delegation was voting. The delegation's confusion was evidence that 'B i spoke the truth in his opening address when he talked about "the great tangled vineyard of American politics."

Pundits who had predicted that Ohio's vote on the crucial credentials battle over seating the a 1 i i a delegation might swing the could not have been worse informed. Sen. George S. McGovern had already won the battle-recapturing all of California's 271 delegates when delegation chairman Frank W. King finally announced Ohio's vote: 73 against McGovern and 75 for him.

Ohio was supposed to vote third. It voted last. Instead of setting trends, the delega- tion's performance attracted guffaws. The only fascination about the Ohio vote was speculation as to why six delegates pledged to Sen. Hubert H.

Humphrey switched to McGov-ern's side on California. King, Ohio AFL.CIO president whose support for Humphrey had never weakened, was not entirely surprised by the defections. He was ruffled. Asked who had switched to McGovern, King mentioned "That kid," and pointed to Michael G. Pierce, a 25-year-old Kent State university student.

Another defector was Edward Lamb, whom King characterized as "the multi-millionaire from Toledo." An industrialist, Lamb has been a valuable campaign contributor. Other Ohio Humphrey delegates who backed McGovern on California were: Theodore M.

Charles Nash of Leipsic, Television 36 Vital Statistics 22, 34 Weather 24 BELFAST, Northern Ireland IJ1 Militant Protestants threatened early today to take the offensive in Northern Ireland as gun battles and bomb explosions rocked the province. The Protestant Ulster Defense association, which claims It can put 40,000 armed men into the field, said if the the British do not crush the Roman Catholic guerrillas of the Irish Republican Army, the association will take the offensive against the IRA and do Us "level best to eliminate and destroy it." THE BRITISH government rushed 1,800 more troops Into the province in preparation for traditionally explosive summer season of Protestant parades celebrating historic events in the centuries of Protestant-Catholic a a' in Northern Ireland. The ffrst parade is Wednesday. The reinforcements bring the garrison to 16,800 men, the biggest it has been in the three years of communal turmoil. In the wake of the collapse Sunday night of the IRA cease-fire, army headquarters reported 232 shooting incidents in Belfast between 8 a.m.

Monday and 4:40 a.m. today. British troops were involved in 146 of the shootouts and claimed they killed or wounded 15 gunmen. Protestants and Catholics fought in the other clashes. THE HOODED body of a murdered man in his 20s was totmd near t.hc center of Bel fast, shot in the chest and head.

He was the 414th confirmed fatality in the three years of communal warfare, the seventh since the ceasefire ended and the 23rd since it began two weeks ago. Most of the latter were murdered similarly, apparently settling old scores. Bombs damaged stores, offices and homes in three areas of Belfast. Flying glass injured five persons. Other explosions wrecked property in Londonderry, Strabane, Maghen-felt and Armagh but caused no casualties.
