(AP) No one wanted another Chicago. It's almost as simple as that. So everyone gave a protesters, the police, the city, the party and its the streets -were quiet during the Democratic National Convention.

Convinced that violence would damage their individual causes, these diverse forces worked together this week to produce peaceful protests far different from the turbulence that swept the streets of Chicago when the Democrats convened there four years ago. The box score tells the story: Chicago: 680 arrested, 1,381 njured. Miami Beach: njured. 1 arrested, 4 The memories of Chicago in 1968, of riot sticks and blood and tear gas, were replaced this week by a motorcycle cop leading a protest march to Convention Hall with an antiwar button pinned to his chest. By the "Jesus Freaks" and ice 4 vendors -wandering through the crowd just after a small section of the fence around the hail was torn down, the destructive highpoint of the week: By the jam in front oJ Convention Hal when the Yip- pies and Zippies came from one direction, the Cuban anticommunists from another and the Gay activists from yet another, Demonstration marshals linked arms to keep everyone apart.

There was no violence, hardly a hint of destruction. Disruptions, but not disturbances. Tense moments, but not confrontations. Amd in the one moment when things might have taken a different turn, George McGovern took a chance. Against the advice of the Secret Service, McGovern faced and pacified 300 chanting, shoving demonstrators in a hotel lobby just hours before he received the Democratic presidential nomination.

"I thank the symbolism is more important than anything that happened," he said after- ward. "We didn't want a repetition of Chicago in 1968." When it was all over and done, police were congratulating protesters, protest- jrs were thanking police, and Mayor Chuck HaE and Police Chief Rocky Pomerance had emerged almost as heroes of the counterculture generation. City officials had prepared themselves for an influx of lens of thousands of so-called non- delegates, but at most only 000 gathered at any one time. Several months ago, Hall began meeting with leaders of the groups that planned tions during the convention. He also led the fight that opened a city park for camping during the convention.

Pomerance organized the 800- man security force that surrounded Convention Hall, but at 3he time instructed his men not to hassle people in the park about smoking marijuana or skinny dipping in the pool. "The police were just beautiful," said Fred Wanerstraud, a member of the Peoples Coalition for Peace and Justice. "There would have been a blood bath, our blood, if they wanted to do anything." For the demonstrators, the Democratic convention was just a warm up, a dress rehearsal for the Republican National Convention six weeks from now in Miaimi Beach. They had a good thing going with'the police and the city, and trouble would only spoil it. "We showed the people of Miami Beach that we could conduct a nonviolent demon- stratum," said Zippie leader Dana Seal.

"They did not believe us before, but I think we proved something to them. We got our message across without hurting anyone or trashing anything." After the section of Con vention Hall fence was torn down on the first nigiht, protesl planners organized a group of marshals to keep people in line When demonstrators marchec to the hall the next night, a line of people from the Vietnam Veterans Against the War sepa rated them from the fence. But perhaps more than anything else, it was the Democratic party that kept things quiet. Many people who were on the streets in Chicago were inside the convention this The Democratic party had opened its ranks to an unprecedented number of youug people, blacks and women and was seriously considering stands on abortion, drug laws and the Vietnam War not all that different from the proposals backed by the people in the streets. "There are times in history when revolutionaries must unite with the liberals," said antiwar activist Jerry Rubin.

REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) An appeals committee rejected today Bobby Fischer's protest aigainst his loss of Thursday's world championship chess game by forfeit. The four-man committee ported the decision of chief referee Lothar ScQimid to award the game to Boris Spassky because Fischer failed to appear.

It's a perfect name for the new group of dissidents in the wake of the 1972 Democratic Convention. What Chicago was to the Street People, Miami Beach is to the Party Poopers of wihom packed up and left town Thursday. The Kansas delegation grew six members lighter as some of the Stop-McrGovernites failed to show up for the last hurrah the nomination of Sen. Thomas Eagleton of Missouri as George McGovern's running mate. The most notable absence that of Gov.

Robert Dock- ing, who fougfot baird to lead the delegation conning here. He flew ofif to a National Guard encampment, which be bas never missed. Docking had announced before the convention that he would go to the encampment. Dreiling explained to members of the press Thursday afternoon, And then, in long and rambling discussion of what had happened and was happening, State Democratic Chairman. Norbert Dreffing called the 1972 convention the greatest be bad ever seen.

Hie praised the young gaites who bad upset both his and Gov. Docking's plan to pick someone else. He blasted President Nixon and said bo thought the voters of America would change their image of McGovern as a radical when they get to know him better. Even though they saw Docking's leavng as another in a long list of desertions by the state's premier Democrat, the McGovern forces had nothing but praise for both Docking and Dreiiing as the final hours loomed. They watched the Party Poopers go, and they expect to woo them back.

They expect to unite the party. They are a crew the likes of which organized politics hasn't much of in Kansas or anywhere else. Invited to fj the Doral Hotel after their dramatic, but Victory Wednes- day nigM, the Kansas group saw it was too mobbed for them to make their way in. They straggled to the Newport Hotel, far away from the mobs, in ones and twos looking sort of lost and happy. State Sen.

Harold Herd, D- Coldwiater, who emerged as one of M-cGovem's leading Sunflower State operatives after going to the convention uncommitted, allowed as how there ought to be some way to celebrate. "If my candidate had won, I'd have had chaompagne," quipped D. J. (Joe) Saia of "You forget that's the politics of old. I can't afford that," Herd quipped back with a grin.

Members of the Kansas press were tapped for some drink money a sure sign that there has a revolution in the democratic process some ice was procured, the mezzanine at tho hotel commandeered, and a party that lasted until dawn began. It was a party not of noise and music and dancing, but of talk about the country and democracy and the war and where America was headed, and how George McGovern would do. The "kids," many of whom iare in their 30s, 40s, 50s and be- yound, had done it. And they didn't mind about the champagne. his town 50 'mile's south of Houston, In a second hijacking case, a man identified as Melvin M.

Fisto, 49, of Norman, surrendered Wednesday night to a stewardess alter a hijacker armed with a pistol commandeered an American Airline-s 727 jet during a flight from Oklahoma City to Dallas. The hijacker had demanded and received $200,000. Fisher, charged with air piracy, was held in lieu of $100,000 bond. The first (hijacking began Wednesday night when a National Airlines Boeing 727 with 113 passengers aiboard was taken over during a flight from Philadelphia to Now York. The passengers were allowed to leave when the three-engine jet returned to Philadelphia.

The hijackers had demanded about $600,000 and 20,000 two parachutes. Authorities said the ransom demands were met in Philadelphia when the hijackers swapped planes, but they would not disclose the exact amount. While in Philadelphia, pilot Elliott Adiams, 52, of Miami jumped out the front window.

Thomas Jordan, special agent in charge of the FBI at Houston, credited the surrender of the hijackers, both black, to the effort of a Negro FBI agent, Lou White, who was flown in from Baltimore to talk to the men about 30 minutes before they gave up. "They realized they were in an untenable position. They realized they were going no further, they released the girls unharmed," Jordan said.
