Edmund S. Muskie, Henry Jackson, Shirley Chisholm and Terry Sanford lifted high the hands of the 49-year-old nominee and his 42-year-old running mate from Missouri, Hundreds Rise Hundreds of jubilant McGovern delegates rose time and time again, peering over the crowds of reporters, cameramen and boosters jammed the well of Convention Hall, to applaud the party's vietorious standard bearer. Reviewing the way his paign swept aside lished political leadership, McGovern said he would dedicate his White House campaign to the people, declared that next January he would restore government to their hands and "American politics will never be the same again." 'Common Cause' With some labor leaders still determined to sit out the campaign and other delegates grumbling about the ways in which his operatives dominated the convention, McGovern forecast the battle against Richard Nixon would bring the party "together in common cause" this fall. is the unwitting unifier and the fundamental issue of this national campaign," McGovern said, adding that of us together are going to help him redeem a pledge he made 10 years ago: that next year you won't have Richard Nixon to kick around any Even delegates who ported the asbent Gov.

Fischer refused to play Thursday because he said the presence of cameras in the Sports Palace where the games are played bothered him. He stayed in his hotel room.

They are used to make movies and television. Arnlaugsson said the committee reserved a decision on that and had invited both players to inspect the hall this afternoon so the problem could be discussed. Chester Fox. the New York promoter who bought the film rights to match, said he met with Fischer at the Yale Club in New York last June 28 to discuss arrangements. Fox said he explained how the cameras would be used, and said Fischer raised no objections, adding: "He seemed perfectly.

No Obiections "We discussed how we would film. He wanted to know specifically how much money he would get. That's all he was interested in," Fox added. Fischer stayed in his hotel room Thursday and refused to play unless three cameras ing the match for movie and television sales were removed from the hall. Since the American challenger lost the first game on Wednesday, referee Lothar Schmid's forfeit ruling gave Spassky a 2-0 lead.

Schmid said the third game of the 24-game match would be held on schedule Sunday, but the future of the match was very much in doubt. Could Step In Schmid said it depends on whether Fischer continues his boycott. added that the World Chess Federation FIDE could step in at any time and 1 disqualify him. But Dr. Max Euwe, president of the organization, said Schmid was still in charge of the match and must decide how to handle the American.

Pressure Keeps Dollar At Its Official Floor LONDON (AP) Heavy selling pressure kept the U.S. dollar at its official floor in European markets for the second straight day today, foreling government banks to intervene with heavy support buying to preserve current exchange rates. Greatest In Frankfurt The pressure was greatest in Frankfurt, where the West German Central Bank forced to buy between $300 million and $500 million before noon, dealers estimated, to keep the U.S. currency from sinking below its floor of 3.15 marks. In Amsterdam, Brussels and Zurich the dollar also was at the bottom of the officially permitted rates and only central bank support buying kept it there.

A drop below these levels would in effect be a devaluation of the dollar. Pound Improved In London, the pound im- Agnew Keeping Options For Presidency MANCHESTER. N.H. (AP) Vice President Spiro Agnew says if he decides to seek reelection as vice president it will mean he is keeping open his options for an eventual bid for the presidency. In a copyright story in Thursday's Manchester Union Leader, Agnew indicated that President Nixon had not vet advised him whether he would ask Ag.

new to be his running mate. President's Decision Agnew said it was a decision the President "should make on a cold. realistic, political basis without any feelings of personal affinity for the individual. because what really is going to market here is the welfare of a party and its ability to remain in power to effectuate its policies." Agnewsai he had made "no cold. hard decision to seek the presidency," but said that for if vice he run again president he "would certainly be keeping my options open toward a possible decision that I might want to seek the presidency and that if I decided in my mind under Bo circumstances would I want to seek the presidency, it would be rather ridiculous to seek reelection as vice president.

Preserve Options "You could rely on the fact that if I'm a candidate for president, I want to at least preserve my options about where I'm going to eventually seek the presidency," he said. "I've never been an insecure individual." Agnew said. "and don't feel insecure about the situation. The President will make his decision. announce his decision when he's ready to do so.

Even Martha Mitchell, the wife of former GOP campaign manager John N. Mitchell, got vote. Strong Labor Ties McGovern chose the handsome, articulate, first term Missouri senator, a border-state Catholic with strong ties to labor, from a field of a half-dozen senators, governors and may. ors.

He was the senator's ond choice: Kennedy rejected an offer of the vice presidency shortly after McGovern swept to first ballot nomination Wednesday night. The final rites took place far beyond the prime television nighttime viewing hours the Democrats had sought even on the West Coast. When convention's final gavel fell at 3:27 a.m., the Democrats had ended a historic convention, marked by three days of attentiveness and friendship within the vast. brightly lit hall and a week of protests outside that never came close to the violent street confrontations of the tumultuous 1968 Democratic Con- vention in Chicago.

Starting an hour late, the convention's final session fell steadily further behind as the delegates ratified an overhaul of the party's national committee in one lengthy roll-call vote, then fell into another over the vice presidency after seven rivals formally were nominated to oppose Eagleton.

Stiff Controls They have put on stiff exchange controls instead in an effort to stem the inflow of unwanted dollars, without notable success so far.

The pound rose above $2.46 here, its highest level since June 23, when the pound was allowed to float freely outside fixed exchange rates. The pound was at $2.5750 immediately betored the float and has dropped as low as $2.43. The floating of the pound had the same effect as a devaluation and took the immediate pressure off Britain's money in international markets. But it left the dollar exposed as the next in line of the relatively weak currencies under the present scale of exchange rates. Switching Out Banks, international companies and speculators have been switching out of dollars into stronger currencies as a hedge against the possibility of more adjustments in exchange rates.

If the dollar goes down or the German mark, for example, goes up, they stand to make a profit. European governments have vowed to maintain existing rates with support buying, denying repeated rumors that they may allow their currencies to float up against the dollar. Dealers blamed these rumors primarily for the current dollar weakness. Could Not Participate Karl Klasen, president of the West German Central Bank said Thursday his country could not participate in a joint float upwards even if it wanted to because of opposition to this move from other Common Market countries, notably France. A number of factors dictate against such a float.
