WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 12, 1972 Would keep force in Asia until prisoners are freed Softens his position on liberal platform cGovern takes command MUSKIE a boat missed HUMPHREY unhappy A revolution takes form By Robert Healy and Martin F. Nolan Globe Staff MIAMI BEACH The Democrats decide tonight where they think America is going.

This convention is already a revolution in American politics and could be a revolution in American life and society. It delivers up to the American people a nominee in Sen. George Mc-Govern who says that the old terms of left and right have died and that there is no center, only change versus the status quo. During the first two days of the convention there was plenty of evidence to back this up. Fischer, who arrived eight minutes after the start of the game, could only hope to settle for a draw after losing his last bishop for two pawns.

Spassky still had a bishop and three pawns to Fischer's five pawns when the two adjourned after 40 moves and one-half hour of what has WALLACE warrior "saddest words" There was Willie Brown, the black California assemblyman, on opening night electrifying the crowded Convention Hall with his Political Circuit message that McGovern had won the California delegation fair and square in a contest "man to man, woman to woman and child to child." There was Rep, Bella Abzug in her floppy red hat making the first contest of the convention the seating of more women delegates in the South Carolina delegation.

AIR CONDITIONING, Page 30 POLITICS; By David Nyhan Globe Staff MIAMI BEACH Sen. George McGovern took command of the Democratic Party without a fight yesterday, moving to consolidate the power that will deliver him the presidential nomination tonight.

As his principal rivals, Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey and Edmund S. Muskie, withdrew, the Democratic National Convention took up the most liberal' platform in its history. The 49-year-old McGovern made what appeared to be a key concession on his stand for a Vietnam pullout within 90 days, telling some wives of American prisoners of war that he'd favor retaining a residual American military force in Thailand and at sea until the POWs are released.

Alabama Gov. George Wallace appeared before the convention to denounce the "senseless, asinine busing of little school children" and push for some of his other platform planks, receiving warm applause from some delegates and stony silence from the full New York delegation and approximately half of the Massachusetts group. On the platform the McGovern strategy was to avoid roll calls, par -strategy was to avoid rollcalls, par-barrassing to his candidacy.

George C. Wallace was trounced by the Democratic convention early today along with his entire package of conservative proposals. The liberal domination of this convention was clearly shown in the vote rejecting Wallace's proposal for the party to pledge itself as being "unalterably opposed to busing to achieve racial balance." Sen. George S. McGovern, the assured presidential nominee, had worked to defeat the Wallace planks as ideologically uncomfortable for him to run on, and not even the dramatic wheelchair plea of the Alabama governor before the convention could sway the delegates.

In turning down Wallace, the convention manifested decisively its desire to adopt the pro-busing plank recommended by its Platform Committee recognizing busing as a legiti- mate, "tool for desegregation and it must continue to be available to eliminate legally imposed segregation." The platform changes sought by Wallace were shouted down with a thunderous succession of "Nay None was followed by a demand for PLATFORM, Page 18 OUT OF THE SWIM Sen.

Noting that the compliance issue is now before both state and Federal courts, Sargent said the Legislature' approval represents as "unwarranted intrusion" into the matter. Boston School Committee members, angered by the action, promised some sort of an attempt to force the Legislature to reconvene and override the governor's veto.

IMBALANCE, Page 5 By David Nyhan Globe Staff MIAMI BEACH The consensus candidacy of Edmund Sixtus Muskie has washed in on the last tide. Twenty-four hours too late for him to have any effect on the Democratic convention, or George McGov-ern's plans, the forgotten frontrun-ner said yesterday: "My name will not be placed in nomination." HHH-from joy to By S. J. Micciche Globe Staff MIAMI BEACH The "politics of joy" ended in tears yesterday. Hubert Horatio Humphrey, the "happy warrior," bowed out of the presidential race, crushed by a Democratic convention that is short on joy and even less on happiness.

The Minnesota senator reached Wallace-mismanaged disaster McGovern has said he will not "sandbag" Kennedy into taking the vice-presidential nomination, and aides said that still goes that McGovern will not pressure Kennedy into taking on a task that could put his life in jeopardy. But of all the prospects mentioned, Kennedy has the greatest assets to aid McGovern's candidacy. He is, above all, a Kennedy. He is a Catholic, and McGovern can use a Catholic to appeal to the ethnic vote and to blunt such issues as abortion about which Catholics hold conservative views. He is young, popular among labor and all minorities, and he has had a cordial and easy rapport with McGovern.

For eeks Kennedy has been the first choice of most of McGovern's key advisers. The events of the last days, which have underscored the need for conciliation with labor and other old-line Democrats, are said to have cemented Kennedy's preferential position. ASTRONAUT DAVID SCOTT to remain in corps I By Jules Witcover Los Angeles Times MIAMI BEACH Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) will have first refusal when Sen.

George S. McGovern, his Democratic presidential nomination now assured, selects his running mate probably today. If Kennedy, vacationing at Hyan-nis Port, declines, key McGovern aides said yesterday three others would be the alternatives, probably in this order: Leonard Woodcock, president of the United Auto Workers; Gov. Reu-bin Askew of Florida and Sen. Thomas H.

Eagleton of Missouri, each a fresh face to national politics. Other longshots were said to be in the running if Kennedy says no. As McGovern intensified his deliberations on the vice presidential choice his chief political advisers said Kennedy was so far ahead by nearly every yardstick that the sole question was his availability.
