The delegates voted to add a proposal to grant Indians first priority in allocation of federal surplus lands and strengthen the provision supporting a U.S. military commitment in Europe and the Mediterranean to deter Soviet pressure against Israel. By voice vote, the convention shouted down eight proposals, ranging from endorsement of capital punishment and public school prayers to a constitutional -amendment barring busing, despite a plea by Alabama Gov. George C.

Wallace. Wallace, with a few hundred delegates, vowed to stay in the race. Sen. Henry M. Jackson of Washington claimed a min- -imum of 450 delegates, including about 85 from Pennsylvania and 70 from, Ohio.

(Related stories, photos inside) John V. Tunney of California, told reporters after taking with him by phone that he thinks it highly unlikely Kennedy would accept. He added he expects Kennedy to fly here from Hyannis Port, Thursday to appear at the convention with the nominee. McGovern's aides said that others under consideration include: United Auto Workers President Leonard Woodcock; Sens. Thomas F.

Eagleton of Missouri and Abraham A. Ribicoff of Connecticut and Florida Gov. Reubin Askew. The Democratic National Convention, meanwhile, stayed in session until 3:22 a.m. PDT in the longest continuous session in history of either party before shouting its approval of a platform that mirrors McGovern's views in calling for total U.S.

withdrawal from Indochina and supporting busing to eliminate segregation and to improve educational quality. Kennedy was clearly his top choice despite repeated statements he is unavailable. The day was marred briefly in late morning when two men were taken into custody outside McGovern's hotel by Secret Service and FBI agents. Two pistols were found in their car. The men were black and wore jeans.

They were seized shortly after McGovern had wound up a session with a group of Democratic governors. Richard Drayne, Kennedy's press secretary, said the senator stayed away from Miami Beach "not to shun the convention but to avoid the speculation that would arise if he were there." Kennedy watched the opening of the platform debate on television Tuesday night but did not stay up through the all-night session, an aide said. A close personal friend of Kennedy, Sen. Terry Sanford of North Carolina, third; Rep. Shirley Chisholm of New York, fifth; Sen.

Henry M. Jackson of Washington, sixth. Weary delegates had barely 12 hours off after the longest convention session in the history of either party before tonight's climactic meeting at which McGovern was scheduled to be the first candidate placed into nomination and, when the balloting took place, the party's nominee. California planned to yield to Connecticut when the states were called for nominations so that Sen. Abraham A.

Ribicoff could nominate the 49-year-old South Dakota senator to head the Democratic ticket this November. Speculation turned immediately to possible running mates after the withdrawal of Sens. Hubert H. Humphrey and Edmund S. Muskie on Tuesday assured McGovern's nomination.

The aide, Charles Snider, said Wallace's name would be placed into nomination tonight as planned and that the paralyzed governor would make his decision about a race for the White House soon after the convention. If McGovern was even close to choosing a vice-presidential candidate he did not let on. There was no indication he has even been in touch with Kennedy, who is vacationing at Hyannis Port, Mass. Mills, pushed principally by Southern governors, is here, still at least a formal candidate for the top prize. Former Sen.

Eugene J. McCarthy of Minnesota will be nominated first, although he long ago abandoned his campaign. His name was drawn first at a meeting of the party's Rules Committee. McGovern will be nominated fourth, Wallace second and Mills seventh. The others and their positions: Former Gov.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) Sen. George McGovern stood today on the brink of a first-ballot Democratic nomination for president amid strong hints that Gov. George C. Wallace will make a third-party try for the presidency.

His sunny day already marred by the interception of two gunmen outside his hotel headquarters, McGovern passed the hours before the third convention session pondering possible running-mates. However reluctant, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts appeared to head the list. But while a group of governors was, telling McGovern that Kennedy or Rep.

Wilbur D. Mills of Arkansas would be an attractive addition to the ticket, Wallace's campaign manager told newsmen the chances that the Alabama governor would head a third party "seems to be getting stronger and stronger every minute."

The match had appeared headed for a draw until Fischer tried to seize the initiative on his 29th move. REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) World champion Boris Spassky won the first game Wednesday in his world title chess series against American Bobby Fischer.

Fischer, In a hopeless position, resigned. He stood up, folded his score sheet and walked out of the Reykjavik sports palace. The decision confirmed the judgment of the experts who considered Fischer was in a difficult position when the game was adjourned after 40 moves Tuesday night. The victory gave Spassky a 1-0 lead In the 24-game match and an important psychological advantage. Fischer never has beaten Spassky.

His winless streak against the Russian now stands at six games. Fischer's resignation came after he had staged a walkout, apparently in objection to movie cameras in the back of the hall. He stormed offstage and did not return for 30 minutes. Then, a while later, Fischer indicated he had given up by reaching over and stopping the clock.

While field burning Is underway about a week earlier than last year, district fire officials and the DEQ don't expect heavy burning to begin before next week. "There's some reticence to burn right now," says Bruce Snyder of the DEQ's air quality division, "because there are a lot of uncomblned fields next to ones that have already been harvested." 1 One fire official also noted that heavy morning dew was slowing down those who want to burn this) week.

"Most people want to let their fields lie a day or two before burning," says Mrs. Tom Red of the Halsey-Shedd burning district. That district Is the largest In the state with some 45,000 acres registered for burning In a lS-equare-mlle area. "We don't expect any really heavy pressure for a week to 10 days," says Snyder.

Under DEQ regulations, only portions of the total grass seed acreage may be burned on a day when burning is allowed. On day when one quota Is granted by the DEQ mid-valley farmers would be allowed to burn slightly more than 8,000 acres of grass fields. In practice, the DEQ grants two and sometimes three quotas on excellent burning days. That would push the allowable acres to more than 18,000.
