George McGovern. Waving signs that read "Let A New Moon Rise Over the the delegation cast of the 44 convention votes for the mayor. receiving votes from delegation Others, were nominee Sen. Thomas Eagleton.

Sen Mike Gravel, Sissy Farenthold, Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm, and Clay Smothers, 1. The move to cast a substantial state vote for Landrieu began Thursday afternoon during a calcus of the state delegates. While the delegates were discussing the various names that had been mentioned, other. than Eagleton, one delegate. said the New Orleans- mayor's race had been mentioned by McGovern aides.

MAYOR LANDRIEU said this was true but that he did not know how the rumor had come about. He said it existed for some time when New York Mayor John Lindsey was a candidate and he understood that others had mentioned his name to McGovern. He added, however, that he had never been contacted about any such consideration. Several members of the delegation said that Landrieu had endeared himself to the delegation by sticking with it throughout the and stayin the same hotel with the other delegates even though the hotel facilities were ctiticized quite frequently. The Gravel vote came mostly as a result of the senator from Alaska appearing before the delegation a morning meeting Thursday.

ON THE LAST. DAY of the convention members of the state delegation were spirited and sang and joked on the way to the convention center. For the first time during the convention the delegation came near a unamimous vote on an issue, casting a 43-1 vote in favor of a party rules change that would restructure JURY From Page One conceivable Cumbey might be if sufficient evidence is found to justify his being brought back to the parish."

West Germans Avoid Dentists NUERNBERG, Germany A new survey, shows that half of West -Germans go to a dentist only pain drives them and 3 per cent have never been treated by a dentist. CHESS From Page One ing from New York, was in the anteroom when assistant referee Gudmunder Arnlaugsson of Iceland announced the forfeit would be maintained. Asked if his client would play the next scheduled game on Sunday, Davis replied: "I can't comment on that." Davis, who appeared upset at the ruling, said he had not seen Fischer since he got here.

FOUR CHESS officials considered Fischer's appeal. Arnlaugsson said, "We agreed to support Schmid's decision. Three of us felt that it could not be done otherwise. There was one against." The man who backed Fischer's appeal was Fred Cramer, an official of the U.S. Chess Federation and an associate of Fischer.

The other members were Nikolai Krogius, a Spassky aide, and Baldur Moller, an official of the Icelandic Chess Federation which organized the match. FISCHER REFUSED to play Thursday because he said the presence of three cameras in the Sports Palace where the games are played bothered him. He stayed in his hotel room. A second part of his protest objected to conditions of play. Fischer wanted the cameras removed.

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. BEFORE. BEGINNING deliberations, the committee heard arguments from Davis and the Russians, who wanted Schmid's decision maintained. Davis said Fischer wanted the game back, and deserved it because he said the playing conditions in the hall had been spoiled by the presence of the cameras.

Aware of the contention that the cameras could neither be seen nor heard by the players, Davis argued there was no objective way to measure the noise nuisance. HE SAID it was sufficient reason to stop play if one player objected. He added it was impossible to enter one player's mind to verify the disturbance. Speaking for the Russians were Yefim Geller, Spassky's second, and Viktor Ivonin, who said he was from the Soviet Sports Committee. They urged strict application of the tournament rules that specify the clock must be started if a player doesn't appear on time for a game and after an hour the game is forfeit.

THEY SAID the only valid for postponing a match excuse, written medical excuse and no medical reason had been given. Geller and Ivonin said they were willing to discuss the playing conditions, specifically the presence of cameras. After turning over his protest to Schmid this morning Fischer went to Spassky's hotel to deliver a copy. HE STOOD in the lobby uncertainly for a few minutes, then stuffed a sealed envelope in Spassky's pigeon hole after a companion had written on it "From Bobby Fischer to Boris Spassky." The envelope was delivered to Spassky as he was eating breakfast in the hotel dining room. Spassky read it slowly and commented: "It's about everything except chess." Spassky said he was, sad and disappointed by the disturbances, and planned to go fishing for two days and not think about chess.

MEANTIME, THE Icelandic Chess Federation began refunding money to ticketholders who appeared for Thursday's game. The future of the match was not clear. It seemed to depend on Fischer. FUNERAL SERVICES MR. WILLIAMS BEVERLY "BILL" SMITH 10:00 A.M.

(AP) Three persons were killed and 16 injured today when a car, reported swaying with a flat tire, plowed head on into a Greyhound bus, the Tennessee Highway Patrol said. The accident was the second in Tennessee in two months involving fatalities on a Greyhound bus.

It knocked out power to the suburb of Capleville and tied up traffic on U.S. 78 for hours. Witnesses told troopers that the impact, which mangled the car, sounded like a sonic boom. THE HIGHWAY patrol said two of the dead were passengers on the bus and the third was the driver of the car. He was decapitated, troopers said.

Officers said it took seven ambulance crews about one hour to remove the dead and injured from the scene. Johnny Trusty, owner of a nearby service station, told investigators he saw the car go past his station at high speed just before the crash. "IT HAD a flat on the right front tire, was swaying all over road, and it was making kinds of noise you then wouldn't magine," Trusty said. After the impact, the busbound from Memphis to Atlanta-left the highway sheered off a utility pole and a fence before coming to a stop in a field. Trooper R.

MCGOVERN'S.

BATTLE for the convention's support was uphill to the very end. Even his hand-picked runhad to fight for his nomination, in defiance of the long-standing custom under which conventions give presidental nominees free rein to select the No. 2 man. McGovern's choice raised eyebrows. delegates from the South said they had never heard of Eagleton, but Fred Folsom, an Alabama delegate, said he wouldn't oppose giving the candidate the ticket he wanted.

"IF SENATOR McGovern wants to get on a suicide mission, he has the right to with his own Nonetheless, no fewer than 74 names were nominated from the floor to oppose Eagleton- some in defiance of McGovern and some in fun. Jestful votes went to Martha Mitchell and television bigot Archie Bunker and CBS newsman Roger Mudd, but others came forth as serious chal lengers to McGovern's choice. While Eagleton won a majority of 1,741.81 votes with on the first ballot, 407 votes went to Frances "Sissy" Farenthold, who was defeated last month in her attempt to win the Texas gubernatorial nomination; 222 went to Sen. Mike Gravel of Alaska, a Senate iconoclast; and 107 to former Massachusetts Gov. Endicott Peabody, who had been campaigning for months.

McGovern settled on the Eagleton, 42, after first offering the nomination to three other Senate colleagues Kennedy, Abraham A. Ribicoff of Connecticut, who turned it down on grounds that at 62 he was too old; and Sen. Walter F. Mondale of Minneosta. Shreneport Journal 222 Lake Shreveport, La.
