Free Press Washington Staff WASHINGTON If Sen. George McGovern is denied the Democratic presidential nomination, he probably will throw his support to his arch-rival, Sen. Hubert Humphrey, a top McGovern strategist says. Then McGovern would run as an independent candidate next fall to "punish" the Democratic candidate. This prediction was made by Rick Steams, one of McGovern's chief political aides, at the senator's presidential campaign headquarters here.

1 for a titanic collision with the stop-McGovern coalition at the convention in Miami Beach next week. Such threats have begun to flow from the McGovern camp in response to the anti-Mc-Govern forces' dire predictions that his nomination would irreparably split the party. The damage to the party will be even more severe if McGovern is blocked by such "un fair" tactics as tile California challenge which may strip the senator of 153 of his committed delegate votes, the McGovernites warn. Since the forces of Sen. Humphrey are the nucleus of the stop-McGovern coalition, McGovern aides threaten specific revenge upon Humphrey should the California challenge be upheld and cost McGovern the nomination.

McGovern, who took a big risk in bringing the issue before the courts, lost Monday in his first bid to overturn a decision stripping him of 153 California delegates. U.S. District Judge George L. Hart Jr. ruled that the Democratic National Convention's Credentials Committee's action wasn't "cricket and might be even dirty pool." But a clear constitutional Issue was not shown, he added, and the federal courts should not go further into "a political thicket." The matter should, therefore, be decided by the convention, he ruled.

Attorneys for McGovern, led by Joseph Rauh said they would take their case to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which indicated that it would hear arguments Tuesday. If necessary, McGovern strategists said they would ap-peal to the U.S. Supreme Court before the convention opens in Miami Beach next Monday night. McGOVERN suffered another blow Monday when Hart also refused the Democratic National Committee's request to enjoin an Illinois state court from ruling on a motion by Chicago Mayor Richard J.

In addition to the prize money, each player also will get 30 percent of television and film rights from the Icelandic sponsors.

Fischer also had asked for 30 percent of the gate receipts from the theater where the match is to be played.

Sheriffs Deputy Robert Wood said there appeared to be no motive for the shooting, and advanced the "joy killing" theory. The girl was struck by 42 birdshot pellets, two of which lodged in her brain.
