Field reports said the American helicopters ran into heavy antiaircraft fire, and at least two of them were shot down. But their crews were reported rescued. The U.S.

Command said it had no additional information on the loss of the helicopters, which were from carriers off the coast. The Marines were landed 2Vz north-northwest of the city, on the eastern side of the Thach Han River opposite the Quang Tri combat base. For the fifth successive day, entrenched North Vietnamese forces managed to stall the South Vietnamese drive to recapture the city lost 10 weeks ago. Tank-led North Vietnamese infantrymen and South Vietnamese paratrooper and marines battled at four different points on the northeastern and southeastern outskirts of Quang Tri City. The Saigon command reported that 104 North Vietnamese troops were killed and eight tanks destroyed, six of them in one battle, by U.S.

naval gunfire and South Vietnamese artillery support. Government losses were six men killed and 13 wounded, the Saigon command said. In the air war, the U.S. Command said cloudy weather cut fighter-bomber strikes against North Vietnam to 199 Monday, most of them in the southern half of the country. The U.S.

Command also reported that a Navy A4 Skyhawk was lost 20 miles northeast of Thanh Hoa and the pilot missing. It was the 69th American plane downed over North Vietnam since the resumption of full-scale bombing April 6, and a total of 68 crewmen are missing, the U.S. Command said. North Vietnam said its gunners in Ha Bac Province, north of Hanoi, shot down a U.S. Phantom today and the pilot was captured.

Oldest Kansas resident 'Sickly' college dropout dies at 1 12 MINNEAPOLIS, Kan. Mrs. Kitty Bonham Harvey, who was so sickly she had to leave college, died Monday at the midway point between her 112th and 113th birthdays. Mrs. Harvey apparently was the oldest resident of Kansas.

She had been a patient in the extended care facility at the Minneapolis hospital since Christmas time. And she had been bedfast for almost a year. "I'm not getting old but my eyes and ears are," she said on her lllth birthday in 1971. When she was 109, she still was reading, could write one letter a day but was in a wheel chair. That was in 1969, when Western College of Oxford, Ohio, awarded her the bachelor's degree she missed when she had to leave school in 1877 with a year to go.

The college sent Dean Marianne Hoffman Hicks to this north-central Kansas town of 2,000 to cite Mrs. Harvey as a master of the art of living well. "I don't want to live to be much older," she said. FuneralJVednesday Her funeral will be at 2 p.m. Wednesday at the Presbyterian Church.

There are no close relatives. Mrs. Harvey's husband died in 1900 when they lived in Oklahoma. Her son, Dr. Fred Harvey, died in 1959 after practicing in Minneapolis for 54 years.

From then until Christmas, Mrs. Harvey had lived with Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Trout and Mr. and Mrs.

Bernard Clanton. Mrs. Clanton is a distant relative. Mrs. Harvey was born at Elizabethtown, Ohio, on Jan.

12, 1860. Her father was a minister, but he died before she was more than a year old. Her mother had married the Rev. Horace Bushnell and they moved The Salina Journal The home delivered daily newspaper for Central and Northwest Kansas P.O.

She played the piano and sang. She returned to Minneapolis from Oklahoma when her husband died 72 years ago. Longtime reader Reading was her main pasttime until her eyes failed. She was 100 before she complained to the Minneapolis Library Board that the print in its books was too fine. She read all kinds of books.

When she could no longer see well enough to read, the telephone became her principal occupation. She never failed to call and; thank a person who had done a favor for her. Friends in Minneapolis helped her start a scholarship fund for music students at Western College. Mrs. Harvey always sidestepped requests for her formula for long life.

"I always will think that my son helped get me in such good shape," she said. "I try not to give advice," she also said. "You have to think for yourself." Rogers near end of 9-nation tour 25.00 15.00 9.00 3.50 VATICAN CITY (AP) Secretary of State William P. Rogers said today that the Vatican has made a number of attempts to aid American prisoners of war in North Vietnam but "so far to no avail." Rogers said after a private audience with Pope Paul VI that the Vatican attempted, "directly or indirectly," to arrange an exchange of prisoners, more mail for the American POWs and a report from the North Vietnamese on Americans missing in North Vietnam. The Vatican said the Pope told Rogers he hopes the resumption of the Paris peace talks will lead to "a realistic and final agreement" to end the Vietnam war.

Such an accord, he said, should be "according City employes salary survey is submitted (Continued from Page 1) $633.

Commissioners accepted the survey for review Monday, but will not act on it until they have begun studying the proposed 1973 city budget. About $53,000 has been set aside in the general fund, and $12.000 in the water department for employe wage increases. The commissioners will decide whether to grant increases, and how they can begin implementing new wage scales.

Money set aside in the proposed budget allows for average 3 percent increases across the board. Catherwood said he had not estimated how much the city would have to spend to adopt the new schedule. Norris Olson, city manager, said he would prepare cost estimates. Olson did not participate in the salary survey and did not see the results until they were presented to commissioners. Catherwood suggested the commissioners might consider granting selective, rather than across-the-board, increases next year, to begin balancing pay schedules.

The Vatican said they also talked about "the search for peace" in the Middle East, U.S. prisoners of war in North Vietnam and President Nixon's visits to Peking and Moscow. Rogers arrived in Italy on Sunday from Yugoslavia, en route back to Washington after visits to nine nations.

He talked Monday with Italy's new premier, Giulio Andreotti, and his foreign minister, Giuseppe Medici. Rogers was to leave for Washington later today. Chess match starts without Bobby Fischer REYKJAVIK, Iceland A The world championship of chess got under way Tuesday without Bobby Fischer, the American challenger. He showed up seven minutes after Russian titleholder Boris Spassky made the first move. It seemed another one of these psychological ploys that chess masters often use in an attempt to unsettle their opponent.

Spassky was there on the dot of 5 p.m., waited a minute, then calmly pushed his queen's pawn forward two spaces. Injured near Chapman CHAPMAN David A. Lott, 23, Ft.

A While his fellow Democrats were kicking off the first day of their national convention, Sen.

Edward M. Kennedy remained far from the Miami Beach convention site as he entertained members of his family with a sailing party off Cape Cod. Kennedy's day Monday included the party for several hours on his new 54-foot sloop with his sister Eunice Shriver and Ethel Kennedy, the widow of his brother Robert. Seventeen of the children of Kennedy families went along on the early afternoon outing. Kennedy said the sailing party was.

to celebrate the birthday of Mrs. Shriver, his oldest sister. Kennedy spent the morning at work on a briefcase full of accumulated papers and reports brought to Cape Cod from his Washington office. The senator said he has no plans to go to 'Miami Beach, but expects to congratulate the winner by telephone. McGovern wants Kennedy for his running mate By the Washington Star MIAMI BEACH Sen.

George McGovern planned to make a concerted effort Tuesday to try to convince Sen. Edward M. Kennedy to run for vice-president. According to all of McGovern's top aides, Kennedy is the only candidate in the running i i i a i nation--despite fresh statements by the Massachusetts senator that he does not want to make the race--until McGovern becomes convinced he is not available. That should become known by Wednesday morning, because McGovern planned a long talk with Kennedy by telephone late Tuesday.

A top McGovern aide, Ted Van Dyk, said, "Although Kennedy has rejected the job of Veep, it's a lot different once you have a Presidential candidate." He said Kennedy should take a different view now that he can be certain the offer is not simply a ploy either by anti-McGovern forces hoping to stop McGovern, or forces attempting to boost their stock with organized labor or other groups. There are 4 other names on the McGovern list Sens. Abraham Ribicoff of Connecticut, Phillip Hart of Michigan and Thomas Eagleton of Missouri, and United Auto Workers President Leonard Woodcock according to McGovern's aides. MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) Kansas Gov.

Robert Docking said today he was up his delegate's position at, the Democratic National Convention for an alternate committed to Sen. George McGovern and recommended that all of Kansas' other uncommitted delegates follow suit. Docking predicted a number of the Kansas delegates previously undecided on a presidential nominee would throw their support to the South Dakotan as the party's candidate. However, there was a faction of Kansas delegates led by Burton "Bud" Buser of Topeka, who retained hope a movement could be started to block McGovern's nomination in spite of the apparent landslide of delegates to McGovern. Buser said he had information that the other presidential candidates, prompted by Sen.

Hubert H. Humphrey's lead, would unite behind either Sen. Henry M. Jackson of Washington or Rep. Wilbur Mills of Arkansas.

Buser predicted he could line up more than 20 votes for Jackson or Mills in Kansas. The Kansas delegation was in caucus this afternoon deciding what to do. State Sen. Harold Herd, Coldwater, leader of the Kansas McGovern group, was elated at the California decision. The Kansas vote was 18 for restoring votes to McGovern which the Credentials Committee had taken from the South Dakotan to reflect the popular vote in Cali- fornia, and 17 against.

Herd had predicted he had 18 votes" and claimed he had two more "heavy leaners" and conceivably could i 5 corral as many as 22. The 17 who stood with the uncommitted faction, which included Docking, state Chairman Norbert Dreiling, National Com- mitteeman Tom Corcoran, and Com- mitteewoman Nell Blangers, represented a mild success for the state party powers in view of Herd's pre-vote optimism.

George McGovern learned the hard way this is the year of what might be called "group identity" at the Democratic Nation- al convention.

Paying an important call on 1000 women massed in caucus at the Carillon hotel, the South Dakota Democrat listened with quiet satisfaction while one of the speakers declared that women would not have attended the convention in such impressive numbers had it not been for the senator's efforts to open the party to political minorities. Then McGovern rose. "The credit for that," he said with confident modesty, "must go to Adam." The room instantly erupted in boos and hisses, erasing the senator's smile and reminding him of one of the dominant characteristics of this convention: the emergence of proud and vocal clusters of people bound together less by geographical or even ideological interests than by a sense of common identity and shared grievances. McGovern tried quickly to recover, "Should -I have said Adam and Eve?" he asked. But the brittle laughter which 'Dear greeted this effort to recoup should have told him his listeners were not prepared to forgive even so prominent an ally as he for an" inadvertent lapse into chauvinism or, for that matter, any other sign of the "Old So it is with the others: The blacks, the Spanish-speaking Americans, the youths, the senior citizens, the Indians.

McGovern clinches nomination (Continued from Page 1) nee in 1968, losing narrowly to President Nixon. The former vice president appeared before newsmen and television cameras with Mrs. Humphrey at his side and with other members of his family standing behind. He said he would continue to work for "justice and compassion," and declared he had "waged a good battle within the rules of the game." There were tears in his eyes as he bowed out of what is almost certainly his "last hurrah." McGovern's display of organizational muscle came when he recaptured 151 disputed California delegates at the peak of a tumultuous session.

But with victory within reach in the convention's opening session, the McGovern camp failed in an effort to engineer a compromise to seat both Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley and a heavily pro-McGovern group of Illinois challengers. Daley ousted The convention then voted to oust the powerful Chicago mayor in a move expected to have far-reaching consequences both throughout the party and in its fall campaign for the White House in the politically crucial state of Illinois. Party leaders had feared the opening night session would run into the daylight hours. But the showdown votes on California and Illinois were followed by a series of compromises that quickly brought the opening session to a close a few minutes before 4 a.m.

tSalina time). In terms of the party's presidential- fight, the California test was crucial, per-' haps decisive. It took two votes, both decided by larger than expected margins, to settle the Call-I fornia credentials dispute! First, the McGovern forces overturned by a vote of 1,618.28 to 1,238.22 the.Creden- tials Committee's decision which had been engineered by backers of Humphrey, Sen. Edmund S. Muskie and Gov.

George C. Wallace to deny McGovern all the California votes. Then, by an even broader margin of 1,689.52 to 1,162.23, the McGovern forces defeated an attempt by a Florida backer of Wallace to challenge the parliamentary ground rules set by the presiding officer, Democratic National Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien. Wichita man killed OSAWATOMIE, Kan.
