Simple Majority Will Decide Issue By WILLIAM MONTALBANO Herald Staff Writer A pair of parliamentary rulings Sunday gave frontrunning George McGovern a significant boost toward the Democratic presidential nomination Aggressive anti-McGovern forces intensified a relentless campaign to stop him but showed little apparent increase in their numbers Lawrence the neu-t a 1 Democratic national chairman ruled that 120 California delegates committed to McGovern could vote in a crucial California credentials test tonight AND THE convention parliamentarian Rep James recommended that a majority of delegates eligible to vote on any challenge be able to decide the issue That meant that McGovern would need fewer votes to win the California credentials vote In the dwindling hours before the opening gavel political passions climbed with intense lobbying by both pro-and anti-McGovern forces Edmund Muskie with about 200 swing votes remained a fence-sitter Hubert Humphrey and George Wallace sat squarely opposed offering no compromises The show begins at 7:30 pm With challenges from 15 states to dispose of the first session could last 20 hours the chief attorney warned Sunday THE CREDENTIALS fights are complex Opening night promises heaven for lawyers and statisticians and interminable confusion for nearly everyone else including some of the delegates whose seats are being contested The parliamentary rulings are open to reversal by appeal from the convention floor and appeal by anti-McGovern forces was virtually certain But decision improved chances of regaining the entire 271-member California delegation he won in a winner-take-all primary He lost 151 of his California delegates in the Credentials Committee With a majority of 1433 needed to win the California

with humor McGovern made these other points: He made a mistake on his welfare program because he and his staff had not done their homework or thought it out carefully But he has deliberately withheld his revised proposal until after the convention because his opposition could seize upon it to take delegates from him although some details have leaked out "What got now is a frantic scramble for every possible he said not a very good forum for a thoughtful evaluation of a complicated tax and welfare proposal sure that a concert of saints could not come up with a proposal now that would be accepted by the people who are trying to stop me They will seize on anything I propose now Gov George Wallace during a hospital talk before they headed for Miami Beach volunteered to McGovern that he

Spassky said Saturday before going salmon fishing that he would not argue about the conditions or the picking of a board and a chess set will leave that to Fischer It makes no difference to he said the offi-German Lothar FISCHER who has gone to the hall where the match is to be played complained about a number of things including the chairs the light and the board Since he could find no chair to

Page 2A CoL 8 WHERE TO FIND IT By SAUL FRIEDMAN Knight Newspapers Stall Writer George McGovern in a new overture toward party regulars said Sunday he would accept a plan to seat Chicago Mayor Richard Daley and his delegation at the convention if his California delegates were also returned McGovern said he would prefer compromise which he has proposed to seat both the Daley delegation and the challengers giving a half-vote apiece to delegates of each side But if the convention voted to reseat the original California and Illinois delegates McGovern said object I would accept The South Dakota senator made his remarks during an exclusive interview with Knight Newspapers in his penthouse suite atop the Doral Beach Hotel COATLESS and relaxed McGovern sipped coffee rested his foot on a table near the sofa and displayed apparent confidence that he would leave Miami Beach the presidential nominee of his party Iliddcu Helpers By ROBERT BOYD Knuht Nwspaperi Stiff Writers Sometime between 9 and midnight tonight the Democratic National Convention will most likely decide whether going to nominate George McGovern for president The first key test will come on a seemingly obscure point of order The outcome was still in doubt Sunday night but McGovern appeared to have a better chance to win the test than his enemies did of stopping him On the surface the issue before the convention will be how many votes are needed to settle a contest between two rival delegations ACTUALLY AT stake however will be chances of regaining 151 California delegates which he needs for a
