STATC HIOTOftlCAU 6QCUT ai otatc or a AO i sou or confidence McGovern expresses bound less he'll be named 'DEM presidential norrynee Maine's Edmund S. Muskie, on kingmaker powers at once the front-runner, took this least orthodox 36th primary. He also sought an Illinois compromise which would put Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley in a delegate's seat with one half a vote and a more kindly feeling toward quadrennial assembly of disarrayed Democrats. But' votes, and his Illinois loss, showed him with 1,315.95 votes plus 42 leaning his way, putting him 152.05 short of the nomination.

The UPI tabulation gave Humphrey 531.55, plus 58 leaning. The uncommitted bloc numbered 311.4. McGovern, well aware that victory on tonight's procedural votes over the ground rules of the convention could yield victory Wednesday, wooed delegates for support in that crucial roll call. He scheduled visits to the big and largely unfriendly delegations from Ohio, where Humphrey is strongest; and Texas, where George C. Wallace held the lion's share of delegates.

Texas rancer Dolph Briscoe, who beat a liberal to win his party's -gubernatorial nomination, was thought to be leaning toward Humphrey: By STEVE GERSTEL 1 MIAMI BEACH (UPI) George S. McGovern invaded the camps of his enemies today, seeking a key victory at tonight's opening session of the Democratic National Convention which could make his nomination almost certain and almost bloodless. His rivals still lacked and still sought the cohesion necessary for an effective stop McGovern coalition in Wednesday presidential balloting. They also lacked a unity candidate all could agree upon, and no new name surfaced. Edward M.

Kennedy's wife Joan, here to help raise money for the party, said Kennedy's decision neither to seek nor accept the nomination was "final." From Hyannis Port, where he went yachting, Kennedy said there was "no way" he could be convinced to take second place on the ticket. Muskie was undecided whether to use those powers to coronate McGovern or to keep alive his own hopes of becoming a compromise -S Aides promised a quick decision after Muskie's scheduled "solidarity meeting" this morning with his estimated 200-plus delegates. In the same flat, dry prairie voice with which he announced his candidacy 18 monthsago when he was unknown to most Americans McGovern expressed boundless confidence of reaching his goal. He reflected none of the tensions swirling around him in this steamy resort strip, trapped in its own traffic. He claimed enough support in tonight's voting to reverse the Credentials Committee vote which took from him 151 of the 271 delegates won June 6 in California's winner-take-all McGovern.

With that accomplished, McGbvern's delegates counters said, he would have 1,541.5 votes Wednesday night at the nominating session 32.5 more than necessary. A parliamentary ruling Sunday from Lawrence F. O'Brien, the party chairman, strengthened McGovern's hand. O' Brien decreed that all delegates except those whose right to vote is under challenge could ballot on whether to seat a challenged delegation. Even if he loses all challenges, they said, he would ha ve a bare minimum of 1,331.5 votes and would pick up the rest toward the 1,509 needed as the roll was called.

He claimed well overtwice as many delegates as his nearest rival Hubert H. Humphrey.

"Bobby lis relaxed and ready. We will play Tuesday unless Spassky is ill," said Fred Cramer, vice president of the U.S. Chess Federation. But the players still have to inspect and approve the facilities in the hall, where the organizers expect 3,000 fans paying $5 each to be on hand Tuesday. Gudmundur Arnlaugsson, deputy referee of the match, spent all day Sunday polishing off the fine details.

He tested several chess boards and finally settled for one made in Iceland specially for the match. It has been put together from Icelandic stones. 4 Arnlaugsson, who had to take over when the chief referee Lothar Schmid of Germany flew home Saturday, also has a choice of five or six different chess sets of various sizes. Schmid said he would return Thursday after visiting his son, who was injured in a traffic REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI- American chess challenger Bobby Fischer slipped into the Reykjavik sports arena before dawn today for a minute inspection of the facilities provided for the start of Tuesday's championship match with world titleholder Boris Spassky. Chess sources said Fischer left a list of complaints about the lighting', the table and other facilities.

They said all the complaints could be. straightened out before Tuesday's game. Earlier, Fischer had his favorite chair; a black leather and metal swivel model, flown in from New York. Spassky 's Russian advisers arrived shortly after the much talked about chair and studied it suspiciously. Then they left without comment.

Now the Icelandic organizers face a new problems Where to find a similar chair in Iceland? "It would look better if both Spassky and Fischer had the same chairs," said Gudmundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic Chess Federation. Fischer took one look at the dozen different chairs the Icelanders had assembled from Reykjavik's furniture stores the other day, sat down in some of them and them gave his verdict: "Fly in my own chair." Spassky, the 35-year-old world champion, did not seem to worry much about details of the $250,000 match. Before leaving for a salmon fishing tour of northern Iceland the defending champion said, "I am not going to argue about chairs, chess boards and sets. I will, leave that to Bobby. It makes no difference to me." 7 After lengthy and dramatic preludes, both TWO SECTIONS 24 PAGES Legislature gets chance to 2nd-guess Gov.

I don't I killed IRENE HERRMANN Wisconsin's 7th District Congressman David R. Obey today announced his candidacy for re-election. Obey, who at 33 is one of the "Nation's five youngest Congressmen, was elected to the House in a special election in Peterson playing different lonely role MIAMI BEACH UPI) Donald Peterson, the fiery Wis-consinite who sparred verbally on television with Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley at the 1968 national Democratic convention, is playing a different, lonelier role at this year's convention. The Eau Claire business executive, who was chairman of former Sen.

Eugene McCarthy's Wisconsin contingent four years ago in Chicago, isn't a delegate this 'year. "I picked my guy and he lost," said whose 23-year-old daughter, Terri, is a Wisconsin alternate delegate pledged to Sen. George McGovern. Peterson, who once worked to get McGovern elected senator and was on his staff, supported Sen. Edmund Muskie in the April 4 Wisconsin primary.

That action resulted in almost complete ostricism by Wisconsin's McGovern backers who used their. muscle to prevent Peterson from becoming a member of the 1972 convention rules committee even though he spent the past few years helping to formulate those rules. McGovern swamped Muskie in the, Wisconsin and Peterson fell with him even though he managed to win reelection -recently as Wisconsin national Democratic committeeman.

EIGHT COWS KILLED Part of a herd of cows was wiped out Saturday night when a car traveling on County came over a hill and plowed into the animals. Eugene Nawrocki, 24, Route 2, Boyd, told County Officer Max Brookshaw he attempted to stop his car but was unable to and struck eight cows. Five were killed outright and three others had to be shot according to a report made by Brookshaw.

The accident occurred at 9: 15 p.m., approximately one and one-half miles east of EE. Nawrocki's car was totajfed, and he was reported to have received minor injuries and was in shock following the collision.

They said that a fuel tank storage shed was burned, five electric motors were, lost, and the controls were burned off two fuel tank trucks.

They remained at the site until 4: 17 a.m. Saturday and then returned again at 5: 20 a.m. when a fire in the wall of the tank shed flared up again.

"But I don't know how many people I killed." Standing in a waist-high steel plated dock and flanked by two military policemen who were manacled to his wrists, the young Japanese pleaded guilty to all four charges against him in the attack that killed 26 people and wounded 79 others at Lod May 30. Defense attorney Max Kritz-man called on the three-man court to establish a commission of experts to determine whether Okamoto carried out the submachine gun attack while under the influence of drugs or on emotional impulse.
