Humphrey, pulled out of the race today for the Democratic presidential nomination in the face of the speeding McGovern steamroller. Humphrey, the 1968 nominee, appeared with his wife Muriel and daughter at his side at 12:22 p.m. EDT before a crowded room full of reporters to announce his withdrawal.

Humphrey appeared somber as he read a three-paragraph statement on his decision that clinched the nomination Wednesday night for George S. McGovern. His voice broke slightly toward the end of the statement as he thanked his staff and supporters who worked for him. After reading the prepared statement, Humphrey added a few words saying, Weve fought the good we bow out. He then hugged Muriel and walked away from the microphones.

Humphrey was said to have reached his decision to withdraw early this morning after seeing his major hope of overtaking McGovern fail. That was the conventions decision to give McGovern all 271 delegates from California, instead of splitting them up with Humphrey getting 106 and McGovern 120 based on the June 6 primary voting.

He asked for an adjustment of rates for the mobile park owners and in addition a credit from April of 1970, which would make the change retroactive. The council instructed the city manager and city attorney to prepare a recommendation by Aug. 14.

A change to commercial rates for the establishments would lower rates, since they are now befog charged on the residential basis according to the of units in the individual park. The council approved a use permit for a new Seventh Day Adventist Church after notice from the city codes director, Tony Vjrgili that plans for the proposed $290,000 building meet code specifications. The building is to be located at Newmark and Fir, in a multiple residential district. Virgili noted there is an absence of development in the area and recommended a use permit without a public hearing. A street light at 19th and Pennsylvania was approved and will be installed subject to the approval of the 1972-73 city budget on the recommendation of city manager, Hal Leedom.

Lower Bay Gets Port Attention Port of Coos Bay President Robert I. -Younker today announced plans, to promote an economic program for the lower bay area of the port district. The port chairman said a Lower Bay Economic Development Committee will be set up, with businessmen and fishermen from the area serving on the committee. Members of the committee will be drawn from persons living generally in the Charleston area and those living south of the south Coos Bay limits, Younker said. The port president said similar committee can be formed for mid-Coos Bay and upper Coos i Bay areas if they are desired.

Younker said he has had re-. quests for such a committee by some of the people living at Charleston and that an overall economic program needs to be developed for the area before the Economic Development Administration will consider granting project assistance. In separate actions the port, at their regular July meeting, approved paving for a portion of a parking lot on Bayshore used by U.S. Coast Guard -personnel from the cutter Modoc, approved private sale of $930,000 ocean outfall revenue bonds to gain the best rate, and worked out an agreement with Bay Cities Catering allowing the firm to use a mobile snack bar to sell lunches at the Charleston boat basin. A letter was read from the Oregon Coast Sportsmens Council complaining that boat fenders at the Charleston launching site are makeshift and can scratch or mar a boat.

This was followed by a report from the boat basin manager that protective measures have been taken. ents. Don Bunyard, chairman of the code committee, told the board in a report that the code emphasizes the rights and responsibilities of students living within the framework of constituted law and school board policies. Care was taken to protect students against arbitrary and capricious treatment, yet insisting on responsible student conduct, he said. The protection of the learning environment for all students was a primary objective of the committee The code is not Intended to be a detailed account of all rules and regulations in District 9, said Bunyard, but some policies are specific such as those on smoking and drags.

Other policies, such as those on freedom of expression, are general and leave more to be interpreted by principals. Dress rulings refer to good taste, health and safety. Good taste is defined as what a majority of reasonable people consider appropriate for the occasion. However, students participating in extracurricular activities may be required by the coach or advisor to wear specified attire and may be restricted to certain types of grooming.

McGovern clinched the Democratic presidential nomination today as Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey quit the race. 'After consultation with some of my closest friends and supporters, I -have deter-mined nffjyrmtt na'me to' be entered in nomination at tiie convention, and I am now releasing my delegates to vote as they wish. My withdrawal from the presidential race is a withdrawal of candidacy only.

It is not a withdrawal of spirit, or of determination to continue the battle I have waged all my public life on behalf of those who had no voice, Humphrey said in a statement. On behalf of Mrs. Humphrey and me, I wish to thank those who have worked so hard for these past six months not only for my candidacy, but for the greater goal of a nation governed with justice and compassion. McGovern was relaxing in his hotel room wlien Humphrey announced he was conceding to the South Dakotan's nearly two-year battle to beat the pros at their own game. 43 Votes Short McGovern was just 43 votes short of the 1,509 needed for victory when balloting begins in the convention hall Wednesday night.

Humphreys 429-plus delegates, many of them almost sure to back McGovern, put him easily past the required quota. Humphreys pullout came just hours after McGovern forces on and off the convention floor captured a crucial vote which restored to McGovern 151 California delegates which had been taken from him in preconvention rulings. That victory and the weight by which it was won apparently prompted Hiunphrey to give up his decade-long quest for the presidency. McGoverns other rivals were largely silent. Sen.

Edmund S. Muskie met with his closest advisers to reassess his position already weak but further washed out by McGoverns refusal to join his peace-making efforts Monday. George C. Wallace announced plans to go to the convention floor tonight to press his fight for the kind of conservative platform he says the party must have for victory in November. All Right Humphrey indicated himself after the nearly night-long convention session that McGovern had what it took.

The strategy was all right, the former vice president said. We just lacked a few votes. Humphrey in the roll of healer could serve McGovern as a bridge to Chicago Mayor Richard J. Dalcv, who was unseated by the convention against McGovern's will, and as the man who might bring McGovern the support erf alienated labor leaders. McGovern's claim of victory was cautious: It would now seem that the nomination victory we have anticipated is within our grasp."

Dellenback Calls Airing At Brookings Helpful AN OPPONENT By MARGE BARRETT Staff Writer BROOKINGS U.S. Congressman John Dellenback termed a public airing of questions concerning the $1,700,000 Port of Brookings improvement project Monday as extremely helpful and valuable to a great number of people.

Seventeen people including representatives of the Brookings Port, City of Brookings, Curry-County Board of Commissioners and private citizens attended the two-hour hearing devoted to a question and answer session regarding the proposed expansion. Port Engineer B. A. Martin detailed the plan to enlarge the present port facilities to provide moorage for an additional 300 to 385 vessels stat Questions regarding the financial agreements, land costs, participation of various agencies, sewer problems, port priorities, port taxes and other matters were directed by Robert Earle, who spoke on behalf of petitioners who he said are opposed to the current expansion project. Earle questioned the port's decision to continue with the project after voters had twice rejected a bond issue for financing and asked the port Commission to explain its anticipated revenue in relationship to cost of management, operation and maintenance of the new basin.

Engineer Martin explained the port commission felt the voters had not voted against the ex-(Continued on Page 5) FISCHER THE FAVORITE ing the demand is there for enlargement, the people are here and we have a responsibility to take care of them.

But most of Iceland's 210,000 chess-mad citizens were behind Spassky. Only a few weeks ago the fans of Iceland were with the unpredictable American but he lost his popularity quickly when he demanded more money and failed to show up in time for the scheduled July 2 start of the match.

While Fischer was in New York demanding more money, Spassky was walking the streets of Reykjavik patting children on the head, conversing with local chess players and piling up points in the prematch popularity contest. REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) American challenger Bobby Fischer was the favorite of the experts in the "chess match of the century today but Icelands thousands of chess fans gave their almost undiluted backing to the Soviet Unions Boris Spassky.
