Dem Pres nominee Sen McGovern presses for approval of bill stalled in HR that would repeal equal-time law, which requires broadcasters to give same treatment to fringe and major party candidates; although White House has made it clear that Nixon will not participate in any debates even if law is repealed, networks have offered instead to provide equal air time for 2 major parties; NBC has set aside 8 hrs to be divided equally between Nixon and McGovern, CBS has offered 4 prime-time half hrs to each, and ABC has promised unspecified amount of free time; total free time is valued at some $1.2-millon and would not be counted in $8.4-million TV-radio spending limit set by new Fed Election Campaign Act; repeal bill passed Sen last March but is now stalled in HR Commerce Com because of running feud between Chmn Staggers and CBS over its documentary The Selling of the Pentagon; Speaker Albert says he favors repeal but has been unable to persuade Staggers to bring bill up for com action; other Dems have tried to persuade Staggers to leave Washington temporarily so that 2d-ranking Dem on com, Repr Macdonald, could get bill to floor in his absence; whether Nixon would sign bill seen doubtful because of his previous statements that he would approve bill only if it applies to Cong as well as natl candidates, which HR probably would not accept
