By RICHARD BENFIELD Tht Record Convention Bureau MIAMI BEACH Sen. George S. McGovern, whose determined and come-from-behind struggle for the Democratic presidential nomination is to culminate tonight, will campaign for the presidency on the platform he wants.

In its second successive grueling all-night session, the Democratic National Convention adopted the document at dawn today and cleared the way for the presidential balloting tonight. The convention, demonstrating loyalty to the prospective Democratic candidate, rejected efforts from the left as well as the right to include amendments that would have added even more controversy to a campaign certain to shatter tradition. Rejected were planks calling .1. fehf' '111 jj it- 1 HackensacK, N. J.

Leading candidate reaps the fruits of rivals9 labor for: A minimum of $6,500 a year for families of four. A constitutional amendment banning school busing for racial balance. A constitutional amendment to permit prayer in public schools. McGovern's biggest test came on a plank that would have pledged the party to support a more liberal policy regarding abortion. On a roll call that lasted more than an hour, the convention rejected the plank to 1,101.

The question was so delicate that delegations from many states including New Jersey switched their votes repeatedly before the final tally was announced at 5 a.m. Inclusion of a pro-abortion plank might have antagonized lower-income Catholics, among whom McGovern is believed to lack strong support. The senator, who has indicated support for those who want more liberal abortion laws, has taken the position that the question should be left to the states and not the federal government. Homosexual plank rejected The convention also rejected by voice vote a controversial plank to affirm the right of gay women and men to choose their own life-styb, as long as it doesn't infringe on the rights of others.

CHRISS Los Angeles Times News Service MIAMI BEACH George Corley Wallace from Clayton, the man renowned for his stand in the schoolhouse door, had waited years for this moment.

Thought about it, worried about it, talked about it, dreamed about it. The band played "Alabama," the state song. Thirteen thousand people were looking at him. And many of them were shouting, "We want Wallace." It was George Wallace on the podium at the National Democratic Convention, probably as close as he may ever come to the White House as a candidate. Crippled from an attempted assassin's bullets, Wallace addressed the convention from a wheelchair and denounced a See WALLACE, Page A-10 The labor-distributed report said McGovern's record shows that he has repeatedly voted wrong on legislation affecting working people and the trade-union movement.

The paper contained one criticism which seemed odd for the union movement, whose history contains several violent episodes: "One cannot find a McGovern statement indicating that violent protests are inherently wrong, no matter what the protesters feel about government policy."

McGovern is harvesting the votes of most of the delegates who fought hardest to deny him that prize. Sens. Hubert H. Humphrey and Edmund S. Muskie threw in the towel yesterday, and a majority of their released delegates appear to be backing McGovern, who no longer needs them.

The latest estimates of McGovern's delegate strength show him to have more than 1,700 votes, many more than Labor spurns Bakotan N.J. backs Kennedy, but looks elsewhere From The Record Wire Services MIAMI BEACH The vast majority of unions longtime foes of President Nixon apparently will not support Sen.

This year the Democrats are critically short of money, but McGovern has been able to produce his own campaign workers, and has shown an amazing ability to raise funds. Labor is not united against McGovern.

Aggravated assault rose 5 per cent, compared to a 7 per cent increase in the first three months of 1971.

The paper also criticized his civil rights voting record and his stands on marijuana, majesty for draft dodgers, and, political violence. Distribution of the paper, which the AFL-CIO said was prepared by Jackson's office, began while the nomination was in doubt.

And most indicate there are a number of other vice presidential candidates they could support enthusiastically.

Southern dilemma The New Jersey McGovern delegates were i i on whether McGovern, who has demonstrated he has the strength to win the presidential nomination, should recommend a southerner for vice-president in an effort to muster southern support.
