Page 6 --Saturday, July 8, 1972 THE TIMES-STANDARD Eurtfka. California Art Buchwald The Scenario for the Convention WASHINGTON Everyone has his own scenario for this week's Democratic National Convention. The way things have been going with the party, one scenario has as much validity as the next. This is the one that I have written and if it comes true, remember, you read it here. It is the fourth day of the convention and the Democrats have been unable to decide on a presidential candidate.

The fight to seat delegations has taken up three days and those people who were ruled ineligible have refused to give up their seats to those who were officially designated as delegates to the convention. Almost every state delegation has two people sitting in every chair. No one dares leave the floor for fear that someone will grab his seat. When someone tries to speak he is hooted down by the opposition faction. Larry O'Brien, the chairman of the party, has the podium ringed with the Na- tional Guard so no one can grab the microphone.

THE NOMINATION speeches have not been heard, but the candidates have been nominated McGovern, Humphrey, Wallace, Chisholm, Jackson and Muskie. There have been no demonstrations for the candidates in the hall because everyone is afraid if he gets up and marches they won't let him back in his section again. On the first ballot McGovern picked up 1,234 votes, well shy of the 1,509 he needed. The rest were split between the other candidates with the uncommitted refusing to vote for anyone. The second and third ballot no one budging.

By the tenth ballot of Wednesday's all- night session, the convention was hopelessly deadlocked. The stale delegations caucused right on the floor, trying to get people to change their minds. But it was impossible. On NBC, John Chancellor and David Brinkley became short- tempered and refused to talk to each other. Howard K.

Smith and Harry Reasoner on ABC were also not speaking to each other, and on CBS, Walter Cronkite wasn't talking himself. I A I everyone in and out of the convention hall that a compromise candidate had to be found one who had not already been nominated. But who? The Democratic Party leaders call a recess behind the podium. They argue and thrash it out for several hours. The only man whose name is proposed as the compromise candidate is a very famous, but controversial, figure on the American scene.

He has. announced many times that he is not a candidate for the Presidency or the Vice Presidency, and has said under no conditions would he accept a draft. Yet, the leaders argue he the one person who can sa the party. This young man, whose nam had been associated with a ve embarrassing incident, is household word now. Because the deadlock'at the conventio he is the only one who 'ca possibly beat Nixon i November.

The compromise candidate not at the convention. He hi purposely stayed away so peop would believe he was not i terested in the nomination. O'Brien puts in a call to him Everyone, in turn, gets on.th phone and tells him he has to I the candidate. The compromis candidate speaks to Georg McGovern, Humphrey, Musk and Wallace. They urge him i run.

The candidate final agrees to a draft and says will take the next plane Miami. And that's how Bobb Fischer, the U. S. chess charr pion, became the Democrat presidential nominee for 1972. 1-- Otai Itxamlltd uvtl punt Unscramble these four Jumbles, one letter to each square, to form four ordinary words.

Win at Bridge By OSWALD and JAMES (NtWSMPIR INTfRPRliE ASSH.) We wc-re watching our old friend the unlucky expert play in a team match when he picked up the West hand. The bidding started out lamely hut all of a sudden South jumped to four spades and he was faced with a real problem. Should he bid five hearts and risk the probable penalty or should be pass and try to beat four spades? He decided on the latter course and passed as did North and East. Then he played his ace of clubs and positively beamed when he saw dummy hit the table with one heart and no ace of spades.

At trick two he carefully undcrled his ace-king-queen of hearts. East produced the jack and led back a club for our 'riend to ruff. He still was sure of the king of trumps and gleefully chalked up 50 points on the plus side. "Prelty good wasn't it?" he asked. "I would be down at five hearts." "Brilliant, a unsuccessful," was our com- nent.

We turned out to be right. The bidding started the snmc wny at the other table but West hid a cheery five hearts over Soulh's four spades. North, caught in the swing of things went right to five spades and West doubled when the bidding got back to him. West also opened the ace of clubs but did not risk the un- derlead in hearts and only set five spades one trick, but did score 100 points instead of 50.
