Eagleton has sometimes been referred to as a Kennedy-type Democrat. He is youthful in appearance, smiles easily evenly when the joke's at his expense and is a Roman Catholic.

Sen. Edward "Ted" Kennedy helped in Eagleton's senatorial campaign four years ago. Eagleton dislikes being beled either a conservative or a liberal because he says his views depend on the issue involved. Friends and close associats regard him as a liberal on most matters. When elected to the Senate four years ago, he called that the climax of "the ultimate ambition." "Id like to be regarded as great U.S.

senator," he said. Eagleton's rise in Missouri politics has been meteoric. His career began with election St. Louis circuit attorney when he was 27. Four years later, he became Missouri's attorney general and another four years later, at 35, he won the lieutenant governor's office.

Since the convention started in Miami Beach and after Sen. Edmund Muskie, his first choice, withdrew, Eagleton has aligned himself with McGovern forces. In the Senate, Eagleton has been linked with labor and consumer issues. Eagleton was a principal sponsor of the Clean Air Act of 1970 and was an author of the Water Pollution Act of 1971, which is still pending in a conference committee. He has been vice chairman of the Senate's air and water lution subcommittee under Sen.

Table land is an extensive elevated region with a level surface; a plateau. Goldwater And M'Govern Differences Broad, Basic MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) Republicans hope, and many Democrats fear, that Democratic presidential nominee, George. McGovern is a Goldwater of the left, extremist doomed to defeat so overwhelming he will carry much of his party down with! him. Parallels do exist with Goldwater, the conservative GOP nominee routed in 1964 by Lyn don B.

Johnson, but the conI trasts appear to be far more striking as McGovern sets out to unify the Democrats to challenge President Nixon in November. Like Goldwater, the liberal McGovern started with the narrow support of what was considered an extreme fringe of his party. Like Goldwater, he is a pleasant man, with support from devoted followers. As they did for Goldwater, supporters of McGovern packed the caucuses and state conventions to squeeze delegate representation often far beyond their real support among ers. And like Goldwater, McGovern became leader of a deeply divided party with many key figures saying he not only couldn't win but meant party disaster.

Beyond the superficial, however, the differences Goldwater and McGovern are broad and basic. Goldwater was carried by his followers to a presidential ination he. never really wanted. He regarded politics as an unpleasant chore. McGovern, behind that blend of professor and preacher, is a politician who got his start by building a South Dakota Democratic party that was basically a vehicle for electing George McGovern to Congress.

McGovern wants to be president, is determined to achieve his goal and confident he can. He represents the nation's majority party that, even while divided, gives him a far stronger starting point than the divided and minority GOP gave Goldwater eight years ago.

Rockefeller in California. McGovern's nomination is the product of political reforms that have made primary elections the dominant feature of the process. Starting with a close run against Edmund S. Muskie in New Hampshire and a break-through in Wisconsin, McGovern swept victoriously through the last seven Democratic primaries and amassed twothirds of his delegates at the polls. Goldwater was an idealogue, BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) Three battalions of British troops, supported by armored vehicles, swept into a Roman Catholic stronghold in Belfast late Thursday night after a raging gun battle with guerrillas of the Irish Republican Army.

Army headquarters reported that about 1,800 troops quickly established control of a fourmile-square area of the Andersonstown Catholic "no-go" zone. One soldier was believed killed in the assault. A spokesman said that as the troops moved in, a fierce battle broke out between soldiers and IRA gunmen in the Catholic Lower Falls, region of Belfast. This evidently was an IRA diversionary tactic, he said. Heavy shooting also was reported in other areas of Belfast.

The penetration of Andersonstown was the first major military operation of its kind ried out by soldiers since Britain imposed direct rule on Northern Ireland more than three months ago. Military headquarters said the invasion of Andersonstown--a long-time IRA bastion-was carried out on express orders from William Whitelaw, the British administrator of Northern Ireland. A statement explaining the invasion cited four days and nights of IRA attacks on the army post at one end of Andersonstown, culminating in "an attempt to blow up the post The post had been under almost continuous attack since man willing, even eager, to articulate and emphasize controversial if it meant antagonizing large segments of his party. McGovern envisions himself as a unifier. Over the past month he has sought to tone down his more controversial positions to increase their acceptability to potential rivals.

Goldwater sought the presidency when one president, John F. Kennedy, had just been assassinated, and successor, Lyndon B. Johnson, was riding a wave of sympathy and support as he achieved success after success with a friendly Congress. the IRA renounced its 13-day cease-fire on Sunday. A full-scale battle erupted Thursday night.

Thirty besieged troops held on until columns of reinforcements moved up. The fighting broke out at the lend of a 24-hour period of clashes that left 10 dead in the divided province, including a British soldier killed by a sniper earlier Thursday. He was the fourth soldier to die in nearly 200 shooting incidents which also killed six civilians. The violence surrounding mass parades Wednesday by Protestants made it one of the bloodiest days in the province's three years of communal strife. Eleven British soldiers were wounded in sniper attacks that continued until dawn Thursday.

At- least 427 persons have lost their lives in the fighting. Rumors of clandestine meetcarings between the British and leaders of the Irish Republican Army have been rife since the IRA chief in Belfast, Seamus Twomey, called for a new truce Wednesday. Twomey said his forces might consider renewing the fire they ended Sunday after 13 days if British troops stick to truce terms barring them from arresting IRA men. British government spokesmen here and in London said there was no truth to reports of new secret contacts with the terrorists. Britain's Conservative government has been criticized for sending represento meet secretly with the IRA leaders last week.
