The effect of the Supreme Court's action, by a 6-3 vote afterhoursof closed discussion, was to strip McGovern of at least 151 and possibly 153 California votes.

Nixon's order Friday extended to all passenger lines, including short-haul commuter flights, the regulations that had been in effect for transcontinental and international flights.

Aides scrubbed plans for his participation Sunday on three DETROIT (UPI) Roy Wilk-ins, executive director of the NAACP, has charged that President Nixon issued a "declaration of war against black children" by opposing busing as a tool to acheive racial balance in the nation's schools. "I'll never forgive Mr. Nixon for his declaration of war told a news conference Friday at the end of a week-long NAACP National Convention that seethed with anti-Nixon sentiment. "The only thing that would satisfy us would be for the President to withdraw his stand against busing. And I would be a hopeless optimist if I thought (he would do) that." Wilkins stressed, however, that criticism of the President's actions to put a halt to busing for the purpose of school desegregation should not be taken as opposition to Nixon's candidacy.

"If there has been any expectation of an anti-Nixon resolution, it came from no one else but the ladies and gentlemen of the press," he told newsmen before mounting the rostrum to conclude the 63rd annual national convention of the largest and oldest civil rights organization. A resolution urging Nixon's defeat had been discussed in a closed-door session of the convention's resolutions committee, but the resolution never made it to the convention floor. NAACP leaders, including Wilkins, insisted the group would not part with its nonpartisan tradition by standing for or against a presidential candidate. Wilkins said Nixon's stand on most issues has been "blurred. While he has been generous 3,500 delegates to the Iowa State Republican Convention.

The Republicans, Butz said, must "recognize that whoever he (the Democratic candidate) is, it is our job to hold him where he's at."

F4 Phantom jets were shot down by Soviet-built MIGs between Hanoi and the Chinese border, the U.S. command announced today. One of the Phantoms went down about 60 miles northeast of Hanoi and 25 miles south of China.

The other was shot down 30 miles northeast of Hanoi. Both were downed on Wednesday. All four crew members are missing, the command said. Since March 30 a total of 67 American fliers have been reported missing in North Vietnam. For backing McGovern Butz takes blast at press That itself presented a problem.

In Alabama Wallace refuses to attend public affairs where liquor is served. But, said Charles Snider, his campaign manager, "We will have to serve booze or nobody will come."

Wilkins' comments were mellowed in comparison to an emergency resolutionpassed by the convention Tuesday in support of racial busing. That resolution assailed Nixon for "arousing passions of hate and bitterness" with his busing stand.

The convention at Cobo Hall ended Friday night with an anti-Nixon, pro-integration stance by Wilkins. His closing speech called Nixon "a Chief Executive who wants all American school children sent to school by bus, the sole exception being black children whom the courts find can achieve desegregation through busing. receivesa considerable amount of ail from consumers attacking him for high meat prices. Those responsible, he said, are the newsmen in the "Washington-New York areas who read each other and listen to each other. They are vaguely aware that the population has moved past the Allegheny Mountains." Another 91,000 persons dropped out of the labor force in June.

Thenumbers were not considered in computing the unemploymentrate.announced Friday by the Bureau of Labor -Statistics (BLS). The Labor Department also reported Friday that wholesale food prices climbed 1 per cent from May to June. Rising food prices, caused largely by a 4.7 per cent in livestock prices, were foreshadowed by an Agriculture Department report last week. tulj United Press International Abourezk costs disapree PIERRE Congressman James Abourezk filed a campaign statement with the Secretary of State that does not agree with a statement of his campaign funds released earlier this year. In a campaign statement released for the period up to April 7 Abourezk said he had received $90,281.

However, on his statement to the Secretary of State the Democratic candidate for the U. S. Senate said his funds prior to April 7 was $32,361. Abourezk's statement claims he has $21,000 on hand after the primary. However, using his figures for prior to April 7 Abourezk should have $51,281 to begin his senate campaign.

Abourezk spent $76,000 on the campaign where he defeated George Blue of Huron for the Democratic nomination. Blue spent a mere $14,000 on the primary. Abourezk will face Republican Robert Hirsch, Yankton, who won a five-man primary race spending less than Abourezk, $63,539.

Vets Memorial dedicated PIERRE The Veteran Flaming Freedom Memorial east of the State Capitol building in Pierre was dedicated Friday afternoon with some 500 persons on hand. The memorial is constructed of South kota granite and is located on Capitol Lake.

It is described as a dedication to all South Dakota veterans, both living and dead, and will have an eternal flame burning from natural gas. The fountain was lit this afternoon by Gov. Richard Kneip and State Rep. John Bibby of Brookings. Aberdeen club is robbed ABERDEEN A break-in at the Aberdeen Country Club early this morning netted thieves between $1500 and $1700.

The Aberdeen police department says the break-in occurred about 2:30 with entrance gained through windows in the building. The country club manager left the building for about an hour early this morning and the break-in occurred while he was gone. The police department said all coin operated machines were broken into along with a safe. The country club is located about two miles northwest of Aberdeen. Unemployment drop is biggest in seven years Russian is best liked REYKJAVIK, Iceland If popularity were a determining factor, defending world chess champion Boris Spassky would retain his title hands down.

With the bickering apparently out of the way and the beginning of the 24-game championship still three days away, chess-mad Icelanders continually speculate who will win and compare the differing personalities of Spassky and American challenger Bobby Fischer. Spassky, a Russian, mixes freely and appears to be just about everybody's favorite. Fischer has in effect cut himself off. As one of his seconds put it, the 29-year-old New Yorker "lives in his own world." Barricades in Belfast BELFAST Protestans erected barricades in four more areas of Belfast and its suburbs but allowed Roman Catholic residents of the districts to pass through the barriers today as part of an agreement with British troops. An army source said he considered the action a propaganda exercise by the paramilitary Ulster Defense Association (UDA), a Protestant group.

Barricades went up Friday night around the predominantly Protestant Clonduff Housing Estate and two other suburban neighborhoods as the UDA extended its protest against British army toleration of areas of Londonderry where Roman Catholics have maintained such barricaded "no go" districts. Rogers extending tour BELGRADE Secretary of State William P. Rogers said today he is extending his round-the-world tour by two days for talks with the Italian government in Rome and Pope Paul VI. "Following my talks with President Tito I will proceed to Rome at President Nixon's request for talks on July 10 with the new Italian government, and on July 11 with His Holiness the Pope," Rogers said. DES MOINES, Iowa (UPD-Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz predicted Friday night that the Eastern liberal press would attempt to boost Sen.

George McGovern to victory over President Nixon in November if the South Dakota senator wins the Democratic presidential nomination. Butz, in a stinging attack on the press, also charged that newsmen were contributing to the woes of the Midwestern farmer by stirring recent controversies over retail food prices. Butz said "hostile commentators and columnists" could jeopardize Nixon's chance for re-election if McGovern won the Democraticpresidentialbid. The agriculture secretary said the press in 1964 contributed to the defeat of Republican by demonstrating Goldwa-ter's conservative attitudes. Butz said the press this year would attempt to make McGovern more attractive by portraying him as a moderate candidate.

"The same liberal press killed Goldwaterwill attempt to move him (McGovern) to the center.
