Jimmy Carter said Saturday he has gained wide support from leading presidential candidates for Georgia's compromise proposal for seating his delegation at Ihe Democratic National Convention. Under this proposal no elected delegate would lose his seat as called for by the national credentials committee but more delegates would be added to meet demands of challengers. Carter told reporters at this convention scene that forces of Sens. George S. McGovern and Hubert H.

Humphrey and Gov. George C. Wallace have agreed to support the compromise as has Julian Bond, who led in making thechallenge. The McGovern endorsement meant a sacrifice for the frontrunner. It is known he stands to lose several delegates votes if the plan is adopted, but the exact number remained a matter of speculation.

Carter said he had talked to McGovern aide Frank Mankiewicz, Bond and others and added, "I think it will be acceptable." The Georgia delegates viewed their biggest remaining problem as that of getting their credentials issue settled in time for them to have seats and votes when the California and Illinois seating fights are decided by the convention.

Jimmy Carter as one of a number of businesses in the state with possible ties lo organized crime, has been cited by theState Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Unit for alleged license violations.
