That is the lowest percentage increase for the quarter in 11 yeais. In San Clemente, President Nixon greeted the report as "the best news yet 6n the crime front." He said it "represents truly significant progress in this administration's determination to roll back the wave of crime which swept our nation in the 19S0's." Attorney General Richard G.

Rep. Wilbur G. 'Mills of Arkansas, the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, withdrew his name in the closing hours, following the example of McGovern's prith cipal rivals, Sens. Hubert HI Humphrey and Edmund S. Muskie, the party's standard bearers in 1968.

Mills said he would be glad to talk about the vice presidency, if asked, but the word from McGovern headquarters said the candidate would prefer someone could measurably enhance: the prospects of election in November, That failing the McGovern forces were still juggling number of names. Sargent Shriver, the former director the Peace Corps and poverty program and a brother-in-law of the Kennedy brothers, was said now to be on that list, But the senator's private thoughts were unknown to anyone.

Ribicoff of Connecticutindeed, in the very choice of Ribicoff to be the principal proposer, Ribicoff said he spoke for "the finest political organization in the history of American politics" and his first pledge was that it would be available in November "for every Democratic candidate in this land." He spoke, he said, for a candidate who had read the mood of the country when others read public opinion polls and who has shown, contrary to all the dire predictions tonight that "he is a winner." It is only with a plausible promise of victory over President Nixon in the fall that the McGovern forces expect to regain the support of some of their most bitter opponents, an3 a demonstration of that promise will be their first mission in the weeks ahead.

James Hart of Elmhurst, head of the McGovern caucus in the Illinois convention, said shortly before the session convened, "We have 94Vi solid votes for McGovern. I'm sure there will be between 100 and 125 McGovern votes on the first ballot." Fifty of the McGovern votPS come from the New Chicago Delegation, which took the seats of Mayor Richard J.

Muskie, who has withdrawn, were expected to swing heavily toward McGovern. Rep. George Shipley, leader of the 22nd District delegation, switched from Muskie to McGovern in "the interests of pariy unity." Several other Muskie supporters in the 22nd, 23rd, 18th and suburban Chicago districts also were poised to vote for the South Dakota senator. A fistful of uncommitted delegates switched to Sen.

Theories are being advanced about Fischer's blunder.

One, taken seriously by chess experts, involves the temperament of the two players. Fischer, so goes the thinking, was so anxious to win the first game that Spassky purposely played a dull line, trading off pieces and waiting until the bored and irritated American would do something rash. In other words, Fischer was suckered out of a drawn position into a loss. "Fischer did not think enough about the said one American grandmaster. "He rushed into it and he goofed."

But if Fischer persisted in his objections, Schmid said, there would be trouble. The game was a play-off of Tuesday's adjourned position.

Fischer had Tuesday given up a bishop for two pawns. At the time it was not known whether he had blundered on his 29th move, or whether he had a continuation so deep nobody could see it. A night of analysis convinced the experts that Fischer's move was indeed one of the strangest lapses in grandmaster history.
