Near the end of a frantic day of legal maneuvering in three cities, a three judge panel in Cincinnati issued a temporary stay which prevented the lower court's order from taking effect. A stay is a legal term for delay.

Chief Judge Harry Phillips of Nashville and Judges George Edwards of Detroit and John W. Peck of Cincinnati will hear arguments at 1:30 p.m. Monday in Cincinnati on whether to lift the stay and allow the buses to be purchased. U. S.

District Judge Stephen J. Roth had given the Detroit school board until Thursday to buy the buses to begin an integration plan this fall in Detroit and 52 suburban school systems. The board adjourned, taking no action on the bus purchase. Roumell had told members that action was not necessary since the state was required to put up the $3 million purchase price and no school board funds were involved. The schooi system's business officers were negotiating with bus manufacturers while Patrick Kowaleski, another assistant attorney general who was standing by in Cincinnati, pleaded with the appeals court to grant the stay that Judge Roth had denied.

Then, late Thursday afternoon, the appeals court order was Please turn to Page I0A, Col. 4 THE UNCERTAINTY began Thursday morning when Stale Assistant Attorney General Eugene Krasicky rushed from Lansing to Bay City, where Roth was hearing cases, to plead with him to stay the bus purchase order for five days until the appeals court could hear the case. Roth refused. Meanwhile, in Detroit, the school board was meeting. Board attorney George Roumell Jr.

was explaining that the board had no choice but to buy the buses when he was interrupted with a message that Judge Roth's clerk was on the telephone. Roumell left the room, returned a few moments later, and told board members that Roth had denied a stay and that the buses would have to be purchased.

He mentioned each of his former rivals for the nomination by name in an acceptance speech keyed to party unity. Sen. Edward Kennedy, refusing a McGovern offer of the vice-presidential nomination, joined the. unity campaign with an appearance at the closing session of the convention early Friday.

McGovern settled on Eagleton, whose liberal politics parallel his own, after a long day of consultation with aides and party leaders. f'ifVi JJ fliers A' uy era. I Jo i t. 4 like the shore.

The Manistee and Northeastern Railroad acquired a right of way in the early 1900s from property owners between Kaleva and Copemish in Manistee County. About 35 years ago the railroad pulled up its tracks. My mother owns three 40-acre parcels of land that are cut in half by the 100-foot-wide railroad strip. She can't sell it that way.

Can you help? J. Plymouth. Two of your mother's land parcels are in the clear now, and Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad agreed to sell her its strip in the third. When Action Line called, hunted up deeds at its Cleveland headquarters, turned them over to railroad's lawyers. Attorneys discovered two of its deeds involving your mother's property contained reversion clauses so right-of-way land went back to your mom.

Third deed didn't, but railroad said it would be willing to sell its abandoned strip to your mother.

THE QUESTION selection process were bandied about the convention floor Thursday night.

Matinee-idol handomeness, youth (42 years), a clean and liberal record and his Roman Catholicism, finally won Eagleton the offer. But sources in McGovern's camp said that the final pick was a close finish between Eagleton and Boston Mayor Kevin White (who is also 42). McGovern might well have settled on White except for adamant opposition from the Massachusetts delegation, the sources said. APPARENTLY also under consideration by McGovern as of noon Thursday were Sens. Walter Mondale of Minnesota, Gay-lord Nelsdri of Wisconsin and Abraham Ribicoff of Connecticut, Wisconsin Gov.

AND SAUL FRIEDMAN Free Press Washington Stall MIAMI BEACH As he searched for a running mate Thursday, George McGovern even asked Hubert Humphrey if he'd consider running for vice-president again, and Humphrey said "No." Twice more, McGovern was turned down flat by other prospects. He was refused by even more before he was able to ask them.

When he finally settled on Missouri Sen. Thomas Eagleton, his choice was influenced heavily by Eagleton's charisma and youth. But before the Democratic presidental-nomlnee made his final selection, he picked over a short list of names culled from two dozen possibles. And he offered the slot to at least one man 20 years senior to Eagleton. These and other sidelights of McGovern's vice-presidential Eagleton was expected to bridge the gap between the new and old political of the Democratic Party.

He had a key role to play in diminishing the friction between McGovern and organized labor. Hubert Humphrey, Edmund Muskie, Mrs. Shirley Chisholm and others among McGovern's opponents for the nomination turned out to hear the acceptance speech. KENNEDY SPOKE to a tumultuous crowd about "a new wind rising across the land." He likened McGovern to the Democrats' heroes; Franklin D.

Kennedy. McGovern appeared on lhe podium with Humphrey, Muskie and other -former rivals for the nomination. Although crippled Alabama Gov. George Wallace was absent, a dramatic signal of good will was extended by his state's entire delegation, which cast all 37 of its votes for Eagleton. IN A CLOSING session that lurched between slower and slowest, Eagleton finally won nomination when 50 Texas votes gave him a majority at 1:33 a.m.

The roll call lasted a tedious hour and eight minutes. In the process of nominating Eagleton the convention giddy in its exhaustion had witnessed vice-presidential votes for nearly 40 persons ranging from Archie Bunker to Martha Mitchell. Accepting the convention's call, McGovern said "this a nomination of the people and I hereby dedicate this campaign to the people." In repetition of a theme he has sounded since the earliest days of his presidential bid, McGovern recited a litany of the wrongs from which he wants to "call America home."

In fact, I lost interest already six months ago." Fischer Forfeits REYKJAVIK (UPI) -Charging that there was "a conspiracy against me," U.S. grand master Bobby Fischer locked himself in his hotel room Thursday and refused to come out for the second game, of the $250,000 world championship chess match, forfeiting the game to Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union.

Despite last-minute attempts by organizers to get him to the hall before the deadline, Fischer refused to listen and turned off his telephone. Aides said the unpredictable chess genius stayed in bed to protest the presence of closed-circuit television cameras in the contest HE LATER allowed an old friend, Icelandic grand master Fridrick Olafsson, into this hotel suite. "Talk to me about just about everything else but the match," Olafsson quoted Fischer as saying.

COMMENTS: "The DSR is always in the red" "Reduced rates across the board" "Just because I go to work during rush hours I get penalized." Interested in it any more. In fact, I lost interest already six months ago." The American camp announced four hours after the game that Fischer was filing an official protest, against the decision to give Spassky the second game. Fischer's spokesman said they would protest on the grounds the clock was started before the playing conditions were in proper order.

They said Fischer felt the arbiter had violated the rules of the International Chess Federation and would ask the match committee to cancel the results of the game. Under the rules they have 12 hours to make a decision. Icelandic chess sources quoted Fischer as saying he was not only protesting the cameras but also the fact that "there is a conspiracy against me here." The forfeiture put Fischer, 29, two games down in his attempt to wrest the championship from Spassky. Judge Lothat1 Schmid of West Germany announced the forfeiture when Fischer playing the white pieces failed in show up within the alloted hour to make the first move of the second game.
