George S. McGovern.

the master of "new politics" who beat the old pros at their own game, captured his deeply divided party's presidential nomination last night by an overwhelming margin on the first ballot. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, in a post-midnight congratulatory telephone call from Ilyannis Port, rejected a McGovern request that he join the Democratic ticket as the vice presidential nominee. "Sen.

Kennedy said that he had to decline for personal reasons," a McGovern aide reported. The South Dakota senator was expected to announce his choice of a running mate some time this morning. The final session of the Democratic National Convention will complete the party's 1972 ticket against President Nixon tonight, before it hears McGovern's acceptance speech. Weary, squabbling delegates leaped to their feet with a roar and deafening chants of "We want George!" when Illinois put McGovern over the magic number of 1.509 ballots he needed to nail down the hard-won nomination. The time was 11:59 p.m.

By the end of the lirst complete ballot. McGovern's total was 1.728.X5 votes. The final tally, alter vole, changes the Associated Press charges of carrying concealed weapons.

About 50 trade and industrial associations will be asked tomorrow to adopt a 10-point consumer code drafted by the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce that assures product quality and warranty enforcement.

Chamber officials said yesterday the code satisfies demands of a "consumer revolution" and provides an alternative to further government regulation of business. "The consumer wants honesty in the marketplace; he wants proper advertising he wants the things that are in this code. said Richard H. Cox, chamber community development division manager. Cox said leaders of the business associations dealing directly with consumers ha'e been invited to a breakfast discussion of the code at 7:30 a.m.

Friday at Neptune's Table, 702 W. Camelback. "Our objective," Cox said, "is to elicit their support in their own trade and industrial associations to formulate their own ethics codes, so that businesses of the same type can effectively police their own business, thereby eliminating the necessity of legislation." The code was written by the chamber's Improved Business Practices Task Force and ratified recently by the chamber board of directors. "Consumers have every right to expect safety, quality and integrity from those whose products or services they buy," Keith L. Turley, chamber president said in making the code public yesterday.

"We arc committing ourselves to take action to implement the principles contained in the code." he said. Cox said chamber officials, will inform the business association leaders "what is going on in this consumer revolution." He said representatives of the attorney general's office and the Better Business Bureau were among those invited. The chamber's code says that business associations should: -Assure products are safe in every way. Provide high product standards at "the lowest reasonable price." Listen to consumers during product planning. clarify and honor product warranties and guarantees." Service and repair products.

Eliminate frauds and deceptions. -Insure that sales personnel are familiar with products they are selling. Provide consumers with objective information about products, services. Offer consumers a choice of products. Respond to consumer complaints and suggestions.

Muskie to McGovern: Unite parly By BERME WYNN Republic Political Editor MIAMI A II -S n. George McGovern must "reach out in a positive way" and welcome splintered Democrats back into the fold if he hopes to win in November.

Sen. Edmund Muskie. D-Maine. said last night. Muskie made this assessment a private cocktail party lor a small gathering of his staff and financial backers at the Americana Hotel just before the final convention session got underway.

"Sen. McGovern will have to reach out in a positive way to make all the people feel they are welcome," Muskie said. He said McGovern will have to find a "human way" to woo into his camp such diverse forces as Mayor Richard Daley's Cook County machine and George Mean-y's AFL-CIO workers. Muskie, who was once considered the front-runner in the drive for the nomination, said he has no idea who McGovern will select as his running mate, adding. "He's, not revealing much and I wouldn't either." Muskie, 57, decided his presence at convention hall last night would not lead to a healing of wounds, so he stayed in his hotel room and watched the proceedings on television.

But he plans to attend tonight with his wife, Jean, to witness the vice presidential selection and hear the acceptance speeches. "Here's Moe Udall." Muskie said by way of introducing Rep. Morris G. Udall. during a brief but sentimental farewell to his campaign group.

"He's a most impressive congressman and he's my friend." A couple of youths, with tears of disappointment in their eyes, unrolled a huge banner that predicted, "Muskie in 1976." "1 do not know what the future will hold," Muskie said. "I know I will do my best to give my best to this country as long as I am privileged to serve." Muskie said he did not know of anything he could have done differently, that would have changed the outcome of his campaign for the party's highest office. He said that during the afternoon he went golfing and shot his usual high score. "My golf score -is too high and my campaign score too low," he quipped. "If the reverse were true I'd be a combination of the president and Jack Nick-laus." Udall.

chairman of Arizona's splintered delegation that produced only six votes for Muskie, said he was convinced that the unexpected entry of Hubert Humphrey into the primaries is what sank Muskie. In 1970, Humphrey assured his Minnesota constituents that he had no other political ambitions but to return to the U.S. Senate and serve his people, Udall said. But a few months later Humphrey was talking about running for president, which eluded him in 1968, and a month or two later he was formally in the scramble. For one thing, Humphrey's entry dried up Muskie's money sources, Udall said.

He said the big contributors either wait- A radiant Mrs. George McGovern who was in the hall for the vote described herself as "a little numb," alter her husband's victory. "I'm anxious about the days ahead because of the changes it will mean to our family," she said. Ironically, the Illinois delegation that sealed McGovern's victory included the challenger group that ousted Mayor Richard J. Daley and his 58-member Chicago contingent through party reform rules written under the South Dakotan's direction.

The vehicle had Michigan license plates Detroit radio station WJR said law enforcement officials had traced the car's registration's to a Republic of New Africa member who once lived in Detroit. However, the man was not one of the two arrested. Associated Press MIAMI BEACH Federal agents rushed to the Doral Beach Hotel yesterday and seized two men on concealed weapons charges shortly after Sen.

George McGovern wound up a meeting in his penthouse suite. The Secret Service said later it had no evidence the men intended to harm the South Dakota senator or any other Democratic presidential candidate. The Secret Service said the two black men identified themselves as Malek Sonebeyatta, 32, and Ahmed Obatemi. 33, both of Jackson, but said that positive identification had not' been made. Both carried multiple identification, authorities said.

Two handguns were found under the seat of a car occupied by one of the men. "We have no information at this time to connect the activities of these men with any intended harm to the protectees of the Secret Service," agents said in a news release. One police source said the two belonged to a black separatist organization called the Republic of New Africa. Shortly after the 11:45 a.m. arrests, TffyV jt McGovern canceled a scheduled 12:15 p.m.

trip to attend a Democratic National Convention caucus of 151 Latin delegates at the Deauville Hotel. McGovern's press secretary, Kirby Jones, said the visit was canceled so that the senator could work on a nomination acceptance speech. Jones said, however, that aides had urged McGovern not to go because of the incident. Secret Service, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Florida Law Enforcement Department agents arrested one man as he sat in a mustard colored sports car parked on the ramp of the hotel. The Secret Service said two pistols were found under the car's front seat.

The second man was taken into custody in the hotel's interior lobby minutes later. Both were frisked, handcuffed and taken away. It was not immediately clear which of the two men was inside the hotel. The arrests occurred just after a meeting between McGovern and six governors in the senator's 17th floor suite broke up. Two of the governors, Patrick J.

There was no indication of where the man wanted to go next. It was still circling the airport at 3:15 a.m., and an American Airlines spokesman said it had enough fuel to stay aloft at least two more hours. An American Airlines spokesman said "we are making every effort to accede to" the hijacker's demands. "We are making arrangements to fuel him and meet any other demands," the spokesman said.

He said the hijacker "has a pistol, but he has not used it in any threatening manner."

The air piracy came a week after two planes on the West Coast were hijacked within 24 hours. President Nixon ordered stricter searches of all commuter flights after last week's incidents. The American Airlines plane, a three-engine Boeing 727 with 51 passengers and a crew of six, was en route from Oklahoma City to Dallas, when the hijacking occurred.

Authorities said an armed man, demanding $550,000 and parachutes, ordered the plane to fly to Fort Worth, about 30 miles from Dallas. First reports said he wanted another plane in Fort Worth. Bad weather prevented a landing at Fort Worth, however, and the pilot flew back to Oklahoma City, landing at Will Rogers Airport.
