Brown's speech received the first and biggest response and demonstration of the evening.

(UPI Telephoto) McGovern forces triumph: California fight won By GEORGE SKELTON MIAMI BEACH (UPI) George McGovern won a dramatic battle to seat all his 271 California delegates today but his Democratic critics in the nation's most populous state said he would have a tough time winning the war in November over President Nixon. McGovern's California delegates cheered, hugged each other and some even wept when the Democratic convention voted 1,618 to 1,238 to seat their entire slate, thus ousting 151 delegates committed to eight losing candidates in the June 6 primary. McGovern's California "co-chairperson," Assemblyman Willie Brown of San Francisco, had shouted to the convention from the rostrum, "I deserve nothing less. Give me back my delegation." Actress Shirley MacLaine then led sympathetic Califorians in chanting, "Willie Brown, Willie Brown." "This means George McGovern is the Democratic nominee on the first ballot," declared another "co-chairperson," Assemblyman John Burton of San Francisco. But the ousted California delegates were not exactly rushing to climb on the McGovern bandwagon.

"I can see myself doing anything to keep Sen. McGovern from ever being president of the United States," said George C. Wallace's California cam- News capsule: Bremer trial UPPER MARLBORO, Md. Arthur H. Bremer, 21, the former Milwaukee busboy accused of trying to assassinate Alabama Gov.

George S. McGovern wrapped up the Democratic presidential nomination today as Sens. Hubert H. Humphrey and Edmund S. Muskie dropped out of the race.

Humphrey released his delegates during a dramatic noon hour news conference and Muskie followed suit a couple hours later. Sen. Henry M. Jackson however declined to leave the now-smashed stop-McGovern effort, saying he was in the fight to its end. George C.

Wallace gave no evidence he had any intention of quitting either. McGovern crushed the forces which hoped to deny him Wednesday night's nomination under the weight of his 18- month battle for the nomination topped off by slick convention floor maneuvers which recaptured California's big bloc of delegate votes for him. Prior to the Humphrey and Muskie withdrawals, according to a UPI tabulation, McGovern was just 43 votes shy of the 1,509 needed for the nomination. Humphrey released his 429-plus votes and Muskie about 200. "My withdrawal from the presidential race is a withdrawal of candidacy only," Humphrey said during an 1 emotional appearance before a hastily called news conference.

"It is not a withdrawal of spirit of or determination to continue the battle." He did not mention McGovern by name, nor did he urge his delegates to throw their support in any specific direction. Jackson continued to express reservations about McGovern while saying he would support whomever the convention nominated. But Muskie gave warm congratulations to McGovern and pledged full support in the campaign against President Nixon. Muskie, smiling and relaxed, told a news conference McGovern's victory "awaits only formal confirmation." Offering congratulations, he said McGovern possesses resources of "enormous importance." He won the nomination, Muskie added, despite enormous odds overcome by "skill, perseverance, dedication and plain hard work." McGovern aides said the front-runner was in contact during the morning with Muskie and other contenders for the nomination -an apparent attempt to restore party unity. McGovern issued a threeparagraph statement after Humphrey stepped aside, saying the former vice president's action "leaves us all with a sense of poignancy.

But most of all it reminds us of his 25-year fight for human justice." He said his friend-andneighbor relationship with Humphrey would continue and he has "nothing but the deepest admiration and respect" for Humphrey and his wife. Humphrey's 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 it was wonapparently prompted Humphrey to give up his decade-long quest for the presidency. 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.

Dymally of Los Angeles, one of Hubert Humphrey's top black advisers, said "It was a good floor fight.

They won. But McGovern's going to have a lot of repairing to do in California." San Francisco supervisor Quentin Cobb, pledged to Sen. Henry Jackson, predicted McGovern would be a political liability for other Democrats running in November. Rep. Shirley Chisholm's California chairman, Margaret Castro of San Diego, said she was undecided whether to endorse McGovern.

California with its 45 electoral votesthe biggest bloc in the nation-is regarded by Democrats as vital in the efforts to defeat Nixon in November. But McGovern's forces today were satisfied in merely savoring their hardwon floor fight victory which returned to the South Dakota senator all the delegates he originally had won in the California primary. Supporters of Humphrey and other losing contenders had challenged the winner-take-all feature of the primary and convinced the convention credentials committee to award the delegates on the basis of each candidate's vote, delayed cording to a report issued during a hearing Monday. Circuit Court Judge Ralph W. Powers delayed the start of Bremer's trial, which was to start Wednesday, for three weeks.

NIXON GETS OFFICE TV SAN CLEMENTE President Nixon had a television set installed in his office but looked at it only sporadically as the Democrats went about the business of picking his opponent.

Sales totaling $14,500 in the past 24 hours were reported by the Tulare Industrial Site Development Foundation, the recently incorporated local agency which is sponsoring the industrial park proposal. As the sales drive neared the halfway mark toward the 1 first $100,000 plateau which is necessary to assure final approval from the state corporation commissioner, Frank Hulbert, campaign coordinator, and Dan T.

Protestants threaten civil war in Ireland BELFAST (UPI) Militant Protestants today threatened civil war against the Irish Republican Army (IRA) unless British troops take the offensive. The paramilitary Ulster Defense Association said it would stay out of the fighting providing martial law was imposed.

The UDA, whose leaders claim they can call up 25,000 men, denounced the 13-day IRA cease-fire which ended Sunday. They called on Northern Ireland Secretary William Whitelaw not to negotiate with the IRA, "who are nothing but murderers and rebels."
