He told television interviewers the Press" NBC) that his inclination if nominated would be "to present one name, perhaps two or three" for a choice by the convention. He said he would telephone Kennedy at once if nominated, implying he would offer him what politicians call "first refusal." He said he has considered offering the second spot to a nonpolitician, saying he had talked it over with Leonard Woodcock, the president of the United Auto Workers and an early Muskie backer. The strategy in such a choice might be to overcome the antipathy toward him by George Meany and other leaders of the AFL- CIO.

IRVINE, Calif. (UPI)-Fra-sier the lion may not look like it, but he is well. His fans were worried for a while. Nothing had happened for more than two months, and people were beginning to wonder. Had the charm disappeared? And what about the energy? Had Frasier lost his touch? Not so.

But the doddering old beast, who has fathered 33 cubs in less than a year and a half, had his human friends on edge for a while. For lxk months there were no new cubs. But then Frasier became a grandfather and Frasier, not to be outmatched, fathered two more cubs of his own. Frasier heads a pride of 11 lionesses. Even during his inactivity, they still pranced about, purring contentedly and catering to their patriarch.

They still fetched his food and placed it at his feet, and propped him up when Frasier took a hankering to stroll about. A Last Resort Frasier had assumed control the pride only as a last resort after five younger and stronger lions were mauled one by one by the fussy lionesses. His success as a lover made him a national sex symbol. He was honored in Congress. He was called "Father of the Year."

The badly fragmented state caucus erupted in chaos Sunday night when private negotiations failed to produce a compromise chairman. Delegates jammed up against the speaker's platform, shouting insults at each other. Frankie Mae Jeter, a black delegate from Pittsburgh, ran to the podium when she learned the state caucus wanted to meet at the same time as a national black caucus. "No we won't! No we won't!" she yelled at Harvey Thieman, state chairman. She pounded her fists on the podium.

About 20 other delegates followed her to the platform, all screaming.

Humphrey caucus leaders denied that any. of their people would help McGovern in the battle. Convention (Continued From Page One) presidential nomination before Muskie as a lure, but Muskie said he wasn't very interested. The Humphrey camp said a convention majority of 1,509 votes should be necessary to settle all disputes. They vowed to fight O'Brien's ruling in the South Carolina challenge, the first and crucial vote which could cast the decisive pattern for the entire convention.

Adding to McGovern's optimism was latent support from delegates who would vote for him on a second or third ballot but were bound by state law or state convention to vote for others on earlier ballots. Such committments did not bind them on procedural issues such as the California credentials fight. But the Humphrey camp said even a California win would not ensure McGovern the nomination. They said he lacked the 1,509 votes for a first-ballot triumph and insisted his support would erode on the second and subsequent ballots, with Humphrey gaining strength as McGovern waned. Obstacles still faced.

McGovern. One of them was an attempt by blacks to unite all 458 black delegates as a bloc, perhaps supporting Rep. Shirley Chisholm of New York on the first ballot. Humphrey Maneuvers Sensing an opportunity there, Humphrey considered releasing his own black delegates to give momentum to an all-black bloc. He figured this would then deny McGovern the black support he needed for a first ballot nomination.

But a rowdy meeting Sunday of blacks to map out a united strategy ended in disunity and frustration. A second attempt was scheduled today. Disunity also was evident in the endorsement of McGovern Sunday by Rep. Ronald V. Dellums of California, a black from Berkeley.

He had been a Chisholm supporter, though not a delegate. He denounced the stop-McGovern movement as "a cynical effort to stop the coalition of the heretofore powerless." George C. Wallace displayed far less influence so far than his aides had predicted, remaining secluded in his 20th floor presidential suite of the luxurious Sheraton Four Ambassadors in downtown Miami. His staff discontinued medical reports on his condition, fearing misinterpretations. They conceded that his face sometimes unexpectedly contorted with pain from his abdomen wounds.

But they said Wallace would make an appearance in his wheelchair "at least once" at the convention, perhaps to denounce the platform's "asinine" endorsement of compulsory school busing as a useful tool toward integration. Humphrey, meantime, seemed to want to serve as the Democrats' peacemaker if he is denied the nomination, hopeful of diverting the disunity which dogged his 1968 campaign against President Nixon. McGovern's 'Loyalty Pledge' He announced he found acceptable a "loyalty pledge" from McGovern, even though McGovern kept alive his threat to bolt the convention if he is denied success by what he considered illegitimate means. But at the same time Humphrey sent dozens of young supporters into convention ho- tels to slip 30,000 mimeo- graphed leaflets under the doors of sleeping delegates. The literature denounced Mc- Govern's "attempt to bully you for your votes" with a threat to stalk out of a convention he found unfair.

He criticized McGovern's 1948 endorsement of Henry A. Wallace on the Progressive party ticket an endorsement McGovern renounced later that year. No conciliatory talk came from hawkish Sen. Henry M. Jackson of Washington state, another candidate.

He didn't budge from his warnings that Democrats are "scared to death" that McGovern's nomination would spell party ruin everywhere. "Whenever three Democrats get together they are talking about losing the Senate and the House" if McGovern wins, Nettie Magers Higgins Nettie Magers Higgins, age 93, of Washington R.

The swivel chair in metal and black leather was flown from New York to Iceland and put on the stage in the Reykjavik chess hall Sunday. Spassky's Russian advisers arrived shortly after the much talked about chair and studied it suspiciously. Then they left without comment.
