DATA MICROFILMING CORP. P.Q. BOX 1695 PERRY STATION WHITTIER, CA. 90603 overn won issue By STEVE GERSTEL MIAMI BEACH (UPI) Democrats made an 11th hour attempt today to nip a disruptive credentials fight before the convention begins, but George S. McGovern refused to participate in any such private conference.

The frontrunning McGovern within a few score votes of capturing his partys presidential nomination said the issue of who should be seated from California and Illinois, and how, should be decided by the convention itself. The key issue to be decided when the convention opens at 4:30 PDT tonight, is the status of 151 California delegates McGovern lost in pre-convention rulings. McGovern just about has the nomination business district and past side streets lined with retirement hotels. Security remained tight with federal troops and state police forces standing by, and olive drab helicopters patrolling the cloud-scudded skies over the white lines of hotels. Humphrey meanwhile released the 93 black delegates pledged to him so they could vote on the first ballot for Rep.

Shirley Chisholm in a symbolic gesture. Mrs. Chisholm at the same time told 41 delegates pledged to her to vote their conscience on the California question. McGovern invaded the camps of his rivals, including the Ohio delegation where he won a standing ovation even though a wrapped up if he regains those delegates. Edmund Muskie, pledging to remain a candidate until the convention makes its choice, called on all the candidates to meet with Democratic National Chairman Lawrence F.

OBrien to work out a compromise. But McGovern said he saw little to be gained by going into a closed room with six anti-McGovern candidates. Muskie went to Party Chairman Lawrence F. OBriens room, as did Sen. Hubert H.

Humphrey, Sen. Henry M. Jackson and former North Carolina governor Terry Sanford but they called off the meeting when McGovern failed to appear. Muskie said he was- deeply disappointed and added it ap peared there was no alternative now but a collision on the floor of the convention. Muskie warned that without a prior arrangement on handling the California and Illinois challenges there would be a horrendous political battle and our party and its nominee would be among the casualties.

While the convention credentials maneuvers continued at the resort strip hotels, about 500 antiwar demonstrators marched on the convention center carrying Viet Cong flags and shouting slogans; There was no violence in the protest led by the Vietnam Veterans Against the War as it wound its way seven blocks through the Miami Beach majority of its 79 votes are pledged to Humphrey. I am confident, McGovern said, that if the delegates make their judgment tonight on the basis of their conscience and what is fair, there will be no doubt about the results. McGovern has claimed to have enough support in tonights voting to reverse the credentials committee action which stripped him of 151 of the 271 California delegates he won in that states June 6 winner-take-all primary. We will fight hard but stay fair, he said. Are we raising a breed that says give it to me; Ive earned it and if you dont Im going to pick up my marbles and walk home? Success for McGovern on the California and Illinois questions according to his aides could leave him with 1,541.4 votes, 32.5 more than needed for victory.

A parliamentary ruling Sunday from Lawrence F. OBrien, the party chairman, strengthened ns hand. OBrien decreed that all delegates except those whose right to vote is under challenge could ballot on whether to seat a challenged delegation. Even if he loses all challenges, they said, he would have a bare minimum of 1,331.5 votes and would pick up the rest toward the 1,509 needed as the roll was called. He claimed well over twice as many delegates as his nearest rival, Hubert H.

Humphrey. UPIs count, reflecting McGoverns loss of 151 California votes and his Illinois loss, showed him with 1,315.95 votes plus 42 leaning his way, putting him 152.05 short of the nomination; The UPI tabulation gave Humphrey 531.55, plus 58 leaning. The uncommitted bloc numbered 311.4. well aware that victory on tonights procedural votes fiver the ground rules of the convention could yield victory Wednesday, wooed delegates for support in that crucial roll call. He scheduled visits to the big and largely unfriendly delegations from Ohio, where Humphrey is strongest; and Texas, where George C.

Wallace held the lions share of delegates.

One strike hit only a mile from town, the closest to the city since the South Vietnamese counteroffensive began in the province 12 days ago. Earlier in the day, government paratroopers launched their first attack of the counteroffensive to clear North Vietnamese troops from the provincial capital 432 miles north of Saigon.

Field officers said the fighting was intense with neither side giving any ground. In the air over the North, F4 Phantom jet fighter-bombers Saturday took on four Communist MIG-21 jets in a dogfight near Hanoi. The U.S. command said Sunday three MIGS and one Phantom were shot down, but the Communist-run Vietnam News Agency (VNA) claimed Hanoi gunners shot down five U.S. planes over the Hanoi area Saturday.

A command spokesman said Sundays heavy B52 missions near Quang Tri City were to prevent Communist reinforce ments from reaching it. The North Vietnamese overran the entire province a month after their offensive began in the South March 30 and have held it ever since. Spokesmen said that as of this morning, 447 Communist troops have been killed in the government drive to retake the province at a cost of 36 South Vietnamese killed and 107 wounded. McAfee allies rap him By ARTHUR HIGBEE SAIGON, (UPI) A North Vietnamese artillery shell killed Brig. Gen.

Richard J. Tallman and three other Americans Sunday near the besieged provincial capital of An Loc, military sources said today. Two other U.S. servicemen were wounded in the attack, the sources said. Tallman, 47, of Honesdale, was deputy commander of the Third Regional Assistance Command operating in the An Loc area, 60 miles north of Saigon.

He was the father of seven children and had been stationed in South Vietnam for a year. The other Americans were believed to be advisers with South Vietnamese forces fighting their way up Highway 13 toward An Loc, an embattled provincial capital that has been under siege since April 6. The three dead and two wounded were not identified and no other information on the attack was immediately available.

George McGovern, accompanied by his wife, began his fignt for delegates and the Demo-cratic nomination at the convention which began today.

(UPI Telephoto) News capsule: Demos get $4.5 million lecture contract offers he had attracted, Polgar said. He added that it was likely that black Americans would interpret McAfees statements as confirmation of the paternalistic and profiteering motive traditionally ascribed to white liberal generosity in any form The press release continued that McAfee, in a manner all to reminiscent of the petty demagogue, possesses the shrewdness to use an historical event to create a following for pur-posses never to be fully articulated or defined by the public or perhaps by himself. Apparently the main reason, though, for the association denouncing McAfee was his remark that, Hitler learned the word racism from a Jewish whore who gave him syphihs. He hated Jews from his youth because of their racism and he hated them on a racist basis, too. The association bases its appeal on a platform of ethnic equality and felt it would be hurt by not denouncing McAfees statements, Mrs.

McAfee told the Advance-Register. Rodger McAfee was vacationing with his children, but Mrs. McAfee defended her husband by saying the statements sounded terrible because they were lifted out of the background and context in which they were made. She said the association was denouncing McAfees statements rather than the man himself. Mrs.

McAfee went along with By BOB SAOFFORD An association sponsoring a Labor Day concert at Rodger McAfees Raisin City farm has denounced the avowed Communist sympathizer as a bigot and petty demagogue capitalizing on his self-made publicity. Henri-Georges Polgar, of the Panamerican Association, said in a news release that McAfee apparently offered farm land worth $100,000 as collateral for Angela Daviss bail to promole his self interests. On at least one occasion, with over 70 reporters present, Mr. McAfee referred to the mil-ion dollars of free publicity he had received as a result of posting bail for Ms. Davis, and in addition, to the substantial the asociation by admitting there were things her husband said that she did not agree with.

The Panamerican Association was not able to carry out its job without denouncing the statements, she said. Because of the statements, they were pushed into a corner where they had to denounce the statements to carry out business." In response to the charge that McAfee used publicity for personal gain, his wife said, I really feel that Rodgers intentions for raising bail were uine. She said he was not prepared to handle the resulting publicity, but he is now getting his feet on the ground. He realizes now that the words he says have to be, backed up with deeds.
