George McGovern captures the Democratic presidential nod, sources close to the South Dakota senator said Friday. Despite Kennedy's repeated statements he won't be available, the offer will probably be made because polls show he would strengthen a McGovern-led ticket, the sources said. The sources discounted the value of polls ordered by McGovern on other possible running mates, declaring it is impossible to measure the value of possible candidates who are not so well known, such as Govs. Reubin Askew of Florida and Dale Bumpers of Arkan as. Both have been mentioned by McGovern as leading possibilities.

Activity in this steaming Democratic National Convention city, which has been limited this week to advance logistical preparations by the candidates and a half-dozen protest groups, picks up Friday as the parley heads for an opening Monday.

Burger extended indefinitely Thursday a delaying order in the case so he could consult with his eight Supreme Court colleagues on whether to call a special session to consider appeals in the two cases. The two cases are crucial, especially the California one, in McGovern's quest for victory on the first ballot.

The unemployment rate dropped during the month. It was the second straight substantial monthly price increase, following a three-fifths of one per cent hike in May for the largest two-month increase since last January and February.

The Labor Department also reported that the nation's unemployment rate dropped from 5.9 to 5.5 per cent of the work force last month for the lowest figure in more than a year and a half. The improvement was entirely due to seasonal factors. But the actual total of jobless Americans climbed 1.1 million to 5.4 million in the annual summer flood of school youngsters seeking work. Because the rise in the work force was not as large as expected, the department's Bureau of Labor Statistics figured it as a decline in the jobless rate on a seasonal basis. Livestock prices climbed 4.7 per cent, poultry rose 6.9 per cent and processed meats, poultry and fish rose 3.6 per cent, the report on wholesale prices sai'd.

His wife Cornelia stood at his side. Before he spoke, she told him, "If you can't make the speech, I can." A network newsman, Steve Bell of ABC, accompanied Wallace on the flight to Montgomery, as a pool representative of the news media. He said the governor was nervous as he returned home and once during the flight Cornelia gave him a pep talk. Before leaving Holy Cross Hospital at Silver Spring, where he has been under treatment since the assassination attempt May 15, the governor thanked his doctors and others on the hospital staff who "saved my life."

Wallace returned home to take over state government Friday with a romise to continue his political battle even though partially paralyzed and a warning to the Democratic party that it can win the presidential election only if it answers the needs of the average citizen. Wallace returned to Alabama after 54 days in a Silver Spring, hospital recovering from bullet wounds suffered in an assassination attempt while he was campaigning for the presidential nomination.

After speaking to a crowd estimated by police at more than 5,000 at Montgomery's municipal airport, Wallace, sitting in a wheel chair, was rolled back aboard an Air Force hospital plane which had flown him to Montgomery. He stopped over en route to Miami for the Democratic National Convention.
