MEARS AP Political Writer MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) Sen. George McGovern apparently recaptured his sweep of California's 271 delegates in, a feuding, tumultuous Democratic National Convention early but the vote lhat could put him on the brink of presidential nomination faced an immediate challenge. The conventon roll call was st ill in progress, but McGovern's rivals signaled in advance that they contest the parliamentary issues of who was entitled to vote and how many votes it took to win.

Under rulings by Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien, 1,433 was enough, and the forces had that. McGovern The final tally on the California vote gave Ihe McGovern forces more than 1,600 votes.

A total eclipse of the sun sent a shadow 113-miles wide sweeping at 1,000 miles per hour Monday across a great arch of the Northern Hemisphere from Japan to the Azores.

It was partially visible in most of the United States. Those in the direct path watched the sky darken as at dusk, saw stars appear and felt an evening-like drop in tem- perture. The sun was encircled with a ring, and as its Jight filtered through valleys at the edge of the moon prior to totality, the phenomenon known as Bailey's Beads became visible. The eclipse began at the Sakhalin Islands just north of Japan and its dark shadow moved across Siberia and Alaska, through Canada and over the Atlantic to vanish south of the Azores, Dusk struck the Alaska area about midmorning and University of Alaska scientists carried out a series of rocket launchings designed to record data from the moon's passage be- An Air Force jet heavily laden with scientific gear took a team of astronomers to an Arctic Circle rendezvous with the fleeting eclipse. From 39,000 feet aloft, the scientists hovered over their instruments during 225 seconds of total obs-curity of the sun's rays.

In Salt Lake City, the Hansen Planetarium blocked off a street and set up three telescopes. These projected the 20 per cent eclipse visible there so viewers could see it without exposing their eyes to the dangerous direct rays. Dr. Franklin Branley, chairman of ths Hayden Planetarium in New York, entertained 1,000 persons who gathered in the Central Park Mall to watch the eclipse, which darkened 79.5 per cent of the sun there. Branley recounted how in ancient times an eclipse was believed to be the result of a dragon swallowing the sun.

Fischer has gotten most of what he wanted, and on Tuesday at 5 p.m.—1 p.m. will emerge from his moody seclusion to play Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union for the world championship of chess. The match, in 24 games, ought to last about two months, and in it two men will be matching their wits in the kind of intense commitment and concentration that few other endeavors require. At stake for Fischer, a 29- year-old American, is a chance to be rich, and to gain the allegiance of the American public for the game which has totally absorbed his intelligence.

For Spassky, 35 years old, the men behind him, Soviet the finals. Experts on Soviet life consider chess to have become a pawn of Russian policy. The fact that the challenger is an American at the peak of his powers may help explain why Spassky -was reported to be "nervous and upset" on the eve of the match. The money involved is out of all proportion to anything ever known in the long history of chess. Just nine years ago Tigran Pelrosian got the grand total of $2,500 for beating fellow Russian Mikhail Botvinnik for the title.

The prize money now being offered is in the neighborhood of The winner will get five- eighths of the $125,000 offered by the Icelandic Chess $78,125. In addition there are the 50,000 British by London financier James Slater for Fischer to end his holdout over money. Divided on the same basis as the official purse, it would mean $75,000 to the victor. Then there is the players' izers estimated Spassky would S55.000 to more if sales increase. Added up, it meant something like $180,625 to the winner and $119,375 for the loser.
