Humphrey Quest Ends With Tears By LOU CANNON MIAMI BEACH (WP) Hubert Humphreys long quest for the presidency ended in defeat Tuesday with a tear for his staff and a pledge to his country.

With his voice trembling and a smile on his face, Humphrey released his delegates and vowed to continue seeking a nation governed with justice and compassion. Humphrey made his statement to an overflow news conference, but he talked first to his 180 staff members, telling them he would spend the rest of his public life working for social justice in America. Going to Be a Senator I'm going to be a senator, he said. Im not going back to the drugstore." Humphreys comments were directed to the youthful and unpaid volunteers on his staff. Most of them wept openly when he said it was better to have sought the presidency and lost than not to have sought it at all.

No one had to be reminded that it was the last presidential hurrah for Humphrey, who lost to John F. Kennedy in the primaries of 1960 and to Richard Nixon in the general election of 1968. Staff Cries With Him Humphrey remained dry-eyed throughout most of his speech, but at the end he asked his staff if he could wipe away a tear. The volunteers and the cadre of Democratic loyalists who stuck with -Hu re this year against improbable odds wept with him. Id rather lose with Hubert than win with anyone else.

said S. Harrison Sonny Dogole, the Philadelphia millionaire who un-stintingly gave his money and his time to the Humphrey campaign. Were all sad because we love him so and in life you have only one love affair with a man. Humphrey and his wife Muriel met at 9:30 a.m. in his suite and told seven of his closest advisers and friends, including campaign manager Jack Chestnut, what he intended to do.

There was no disagreement on the decision, which all of them knew Humphrey had been pondering for several days. -In his heart, Humphrey had decided last week at Lake Wav-erly, to go out with grace and dignity. I'm not going to be a hang-dogger, he told the Washington Post, struggling for a midwest-ern metaphor to express his deeper emotions. Ill be a good soldier. Ill do what Im asked to do.

Maybe Ill even do a little more. Nixon Ready to Meet Russ Chief Today SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (AP) President Nixon plans to meet today with Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin on substantive East-West questions left unresolved at the recent Moscow summit. Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler said Tuesday Henry A.

Kissinger, the Presidents national security affairs adviser, knew that Dobrynin and his wife were on the West Coast and asked him to visit the Western White House here. Ziegler, asked to characterize the planned Nixon-Dobrymn meeting, replied: I don't want to describe if as a courtesy call. Asked if substantive matters would be discussed, the Nixon spokesman said, "Yes. He declined to elaborate. Zeigler said Dobrynin was in San Francisco to visit the recently opened Soviet consulate there and was invited by Kissinger to join him in the Los Angeles area.

The two men and Mrs. Dobrynin got together Tuesday in Los Angeles and visited the Universal movie studio, then went to dinner. By ROBERT HARPER Spokesman-Review Staff Writer MIAMI BEACH Many delegates turned to support Sen. Henry M. Jackson, in the wake of the withdrawals Tuesday of Sen.

Hubert H. Humphrey, and Sen. Edmund S. Muskie, D-Maine, for the Democratic presidential nomination. But the nomination appeared to be locked securely in the hands of Sen.

George S. McGovern, on the heels of Mondays convention vote to restore 151 of his California delegates. Brian Corcoran, Jackson press secretary, said Tuesday the Washington senator had been endorsed by Dolph Briscoe, Texas delegation chairman and Texas gubernatorial candidate. Briscoe said Jackson made a particularly favorable impression on the Texas delegation, which has 33 uncommitted delegates, at an afternoon caucus. Other Jackson delegates were picked up Tuesday in Kentucky, Kansas and Indiana, Corcoran said.

The number of Jackson delegates now could total in the several hundreds, he added. Balloting for the Democratic party presidential nominee is scheduled at todays convention session. Jacksons presidential nomination petition was filed by the 6 p.m. Tuesday deadline with 196 delegate signers from 24 states, Corcoran said. The petition needed only 50 delegate signers from three states, he said.

Endorsements for Jackson also came from Alaska Gov. William Egan and Georgias Gov. Jimmy Carter. Carter is slated to deliver a nominating speech for Jackson. MIAMI BEACH, Fla.

(AP) Florida Gov. Reubin Askew said Tuesday night that Demo- 1 crats are responding to a new coalition in this country a i coalition of protest and to a thunder of discontent coming from rich and poor alike. Delegates to the partys national convention, Askew said in the traditional keynote speech, were chosen in a ballot-box rebellion from Florida to California. This is indeed the most representative convention in our history. Its impossible, in fact, to look upon this group without feeling that one has seen the face of America.11" If the new elements in the party stay together and work together, they can elect an administration which will win a better life for all Americans, the governor said.

But, he went on, its impossible to ignore the forces of division that pull at us from every direction tonight, forces that would deny that people can stand together for the good of each, and the happiness of Let us remember that this nation was founded on diversity; that our differences can be a source of strength as well as weakness; that a good and open fight can be a vigorous way of searching for the truth; that while no one person or group possesses the absolute truth, every person and every group has something of value to offer. Askew said that if divisive forces in the party can be kept in check, nothing can stop re-vitalized Democrats from nation's We democracy the again We secret meetings protect close We tax fought talk And right health land not by people, help utility, leader, of The that I shall continue to fight, for the views of these people until the end of the convention, he said. Of McGovern cnances against President Nixon, Jack-son said, I think hes got real problems. I predict he will not have the support of organized labor. I don't know of a Democratic candidate for President who has been successful without organized labor.

Thats his first big hurdle. McGovern also will have trouble gaining support of the Jew ish voters in New York and California because of his views on the support of Israel, Jack son said. Jackson said McGovern forces are strong in districts no Democrat can carry in a general election against a Republican. In order to win, he has to broaden his base, Jackson said. If he does, then he has a chance.

Jackson said he intends to support the partys presidential nominee. Come what may, I will support my party, he said. Ive never bolted my party to attend a third party convention, he said in reference to McGoverns support of third party candidate Henry Wallace in 1948 against Pesident Harry S. Truman. The Washington senator again dismissed the possibility of being a vice presidential candidate with McGovern, but said McGovern could reach him later on what Jackson might do in the campaign.

McGovern Win Called a Certainty By WALTER R. MEERS MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) Sen. George McGovern strode without major challenge toward the Democratic presidential nomination early Wednesday after Sens. Hubert H.

Humphrey and Edmund S. Muskie bowed to his towering national convention strength and quit the race. Despite a dramatic, personal appeal from Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace, still a candidate, the Democratic National Convention shouted down his proposals to write more conservative terms into a liberal party platform tailored to McGoverns views.

Wallace Cheered Amid waves of cheers from the convention minority supporting his candidacy, the crippled Alabama governor came to the convention in a wheelchair to argue for his views of what the platform should say. The convention minority that whooped it up for Wallace provided the only support as eight Wallace planks, including a demand that the Democrats call for an end to school busing for racial balance, were rejected in a succession of voice votes. Busing Wanted The platform committee had endorsed some busing as a tool to improve educational opportunity. It called also for immediate, complete withdrawal of all U.S. combat forces in Indochina, wohel the rejected Wallace plank set the release of American prisoners as a condition for a pullout.

The platform votes demonstrated anew what was already evident: The convention power was in the hands of the McGovern forces. Secret Service agents and aides wheeled Wallace to the microphone, and he told the delegates the average man is frustrated, tired of big government. The ovation he got in his first major political appearance since a May 15 assassination attempt was a reflection of his support in the convention: Cheers and rebel yells from supporters in states that are his strongest, delegates from Florida, Texas, Michigan. But much of the convention listened in silence. His speech was vintage Wallace: law and order, demands for tax reform, a protest against foreign aid and mounting welfare costs.

Busing Hit As he had on a hundred platforms before the shots that cut him down in Laurel, Wallace denounced the asinine, senseless busing of little school children. His partisans cheered, but there were boos elsewhere on the convention floor. I am here because I want to help the Demoratic party, Wallace said. "I want it to become again the party of the average citizen as it used to be and not the party of the pseudo-intellecvtual snobbery that it has come to be. But if the evenings moment of drama belonged to Wallace, 'politically, the Democrats sweating, sweltering convention resort belonged to McGovern, the senator from South Dakota, longest of long shots when he began his White House quest 18 months ago.

By midevening, an Associated Press count showed delegate commitments at 1,582.05. rising from the 1,507.75 he held earlier in the evening and far beyond the majority that will choose the Democrat to challenge President Nixon. In simplest terms, McGovern had the votes: On delegate disputes, on the platform the con vention was completing Tuesday, and on the nomination it-seiif. After a night of tumultuous political infighting that kept the Democratic National Convention in session until near dawn, it was a day of political drama. First, Humphrey of Minnesota, a presidential campaign warrior for a dozen years and the partys presidential choice in 1968, withdrew what must be his final bid for the White House.

Then Muskie wrote a finish to the campaign that plunged him from front-runner to loser. It is apparent to all of us that Sen. George McGovern is this conventions choice as the nominee of our party, said the senator from Maine. political life. can do away with dollar and government by few and fight again and for public financing of presidential election campaigns, he said.

Spokesmen Charles W. Bray III, announcing this move, said the aim is to bring down the price of fresh and frozen beef and veal to the American consumers.

Undersecretary of State John N. Irwin has asked envoys of the 12 countries to meet at the State Department Wednesday with Treasury Secretary George Shultz and representatives of the Department of Agriculture, the Cost of Living Council, the President's Council of Economic Advisers and the office of the special assistant to the President for consumer affairs. Imports to Increase Bray said it is anticipated that President Nixons freeze on voluntary restraints on meat exports, announced in late June, would bring an 11 per cent increase in meat imports this year. The new appeal to the 12 nations for all the beef they can ship here will boost imports still further above the 11 per cent already expected. The 12 nations and the amount of their exports to the U.S.

in 1971 in millions of pounds were: Australia, 600.4 million pounds: New Zealand 250.9; Mexico 78.2; Ireland 74.7; Guatemala 25.3; El Salvador, 3.0; Honduras, 16.7; Nicaragua, 44.8; Costa Rica 39.8; Panama 6.1; the Dominican Republic 12.5 and Haiti, 2.6. It will be explained to the ambassadors that countries which help the United States now with larger meat imports will have this factor when import quotas for 1973 are set. During 1971 there were 1.112 billion pounds of meat imported into the United States under the voluntary restraint program. Total U.S. meat production this year is estimated at 23.3 billion pounds.

With a boost of more than 11 per cent in meat imports, in the vicinity of 1.3 billion pounds will be furnished to American consumers with the hope that this will bring down soaring meat prices.

THE CONVENTION MIAMI BEACH (NYT) -Sens. Hubert H. Humphrey and Edmund S. Muskie surrendered the Democratic presi-dential nomination Tuesday to Sen. George McGovern and urged him to reunite the party.

McGovern responded by asking his followers to give a respectful hearing to the views of two of his remaining rivals, Gov. George Wallace and Sen. Henry Jackson. MIAMI BEACH (NYT) Sen. George McGovern is reported to have narrowed his choices for a running-mate to three or four men, but campaign aides disclaim firm knowledge of their identity.
