McGovem evm has a Youth Crater for his volunteers, a roited ballroom in a south Miami Beach hotel wliere the young non-delegates can together and meet with delegates. Donley, a 48-year-old lawyer from South Dakota who was administrative assistant for eight years, began planning the Miami Beach setup five months ago at a time when presidential prospects look too good. As his chances have improved, their planning has escalated. Their first request to Democratic officials was for 60 hotel rooms; it went up to 160 even before the New Hampshire (HTimary and has been growing steadily.

By the rad of this week, McGovem staff workers and voluntem will be scattered through 550 hotel rooms in nine differrat Miami Beach hotels. Only Sra. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine has more. By contrast.

Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota, one of chief rivals, has cut back his room requests from 450 to 274. (dans changed as the political situation said Wayne Faris, a 30-year-old St. Paul attomey, who is running the operation.

But the extrat and costs of the operations vary considerably.

ISTANBUL (AP) Metropolitan Meliton, the archbishop of Chalcedon, is being mra- ttoned as the likely successor to Patriarch Athraagoras tiie leader of the 250 million Eastem Orthodox Christians, who died early today at the age of 86.

Meliton, 59, was to preside over a meeting today with the 11 other archbishops of the Greek Orthodox Ecumraical Patriarchate to decide on funeral arrangemrats for Athe- nagoras. Later, at a date still to be announced, they will elect the new Ecumenical Patriarch, who is also Archibishop of Constantinople. Another prospective choice is Metropolitan Kallinikos, who was named acting vice patriarch today after the death of Athraagoras. Athenagoras died at Balikli Greek Orthodox Hosfrital in Is- tantnil, succumbing to kidney failure following a massive toss of bk)od his doctors said. He broke his hip in a fall a week ago and was to have bera ftown to Vienna today or Saturday for orthopedic surgery.

His 24-year reign was most notable for his efforta toward reunion with the Roman Catholic Church after more than 900 years of schism. He and Pope Paul VI met three times, in Jerusalem, and Rome. The Jerusalem meeting on Jan. 5-6, 1964, breached barriers of silrace and hostility that had existed since the Great Schism of 1054, whra the two churches separated over questions of authority and forms of the creed.
