Ribicoff seemed to be trying to reassure the defeated that they have less to fear from a top with 119 votes from Illinois. As the McGovernites cheered and paraded in a modest 90-second display of understandable exuberance, blocs of anyone-but-McGovern delegates sat conspicuously sullen in their chairs, arms folded and visages grim. There was never a movement for acclamation because it was obvious they couldn't get it.

The Boeing 727 escape plane landed at Brazoria County Air port at Lake Jackson, about 50 miles south of Houston, the Federal Aviation Administration said. Local police reports said officers shot out the craft's tires.

The men had been furnished with parachutes. The jet's destination was not known. A spokesman for National, whose Miami to New York milk run was hijacked Wednesday night, said a ransom had been paid, but he wouldn't give any figures. The 120 persons aboard the original jet were released. The plane.

Flight 496. was on its way to Kennedy Airport in New York when the hijackers took over and diverted it back to Philadelphia. It ran out of gas shortly after it landed and then lost its electrical power, killing the air conditioning. The escape plane demanded by the hijackersone identified as an Ethopian national named "Taffa" and the other identified only as a man named "Green" did not arrive from Miami until more than four hours after the hijacked plane touched down at 8:59 p.m. It took another hour and a half for a plane to arrive carrying the ransom money.

The 113 passengers, who endured nine hours of searing heat as the hijacked plane sat on a runway at the Philadelphia International Airport while FBI agents haggled wiih the hijackers over details, staggered to a recovery room. "A couple of people fainted," said one passenger. Tom Herring of St. Louis. "It looked like there might have been some cardiac trouble but no one was really hurt.

Ms. as message for court By MARGARET SCHERF WASHINGTON (AP) It's not that the Supreme Court won't hire female messengers it's just that they would be "a little awkward." That's what the court's spokesman says Maryann Clifford, 22, was told when she applied for one of the half-dozen summer jobs at the court customarily filled by law students. Ms.

Clifford-a title she. prefers says she was told "I'd be a liability because all the messengers share the same lounge." Ms. Clifford, who is entering law school at Catholic University in the fall, said she applied for one of the messenger jobs June 19 after a friend, already a messenger told her there were two openings. U.S. Marshall Frank M.

Hepler told her she was the first women to apply for the job, she said. It was Hepler. she said, who told her a female messenger would be "a liability." Bert Whittington, public information officer for the court, said Ms. Gifford "was never told she couldn't have a job We said it might be a little awkard." He said one messenger job has been filled since Ms. Clifford was turned away "but he applied ahead of her." "We went out of our way to help her find another job," Whittington said.

"We called the Federal Judicial Center to see if they had anything for her. We don't do that for everyone." The center is a research center for the federal courts. Any job there would have been a clerical one, Whittington said, but there was no job available. The Supreme Court messengers carry messages between the justices, run errands, sometimes act as chauffeurs and office helpers. They are paid $3.37 an hour.

Ms. Clifford said she will file an administrative charge against the U.S. marshall's office today, claiming she was denied a messenger job on the basis of her sex. Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act states that sex is a bona fide occupational qualification only when it is reason-. ably necessary to the normal operation of an enterprise.

By JACK W. GERMOND Washington Bureau Chief Gannett News Service MIAMI BEACH There were two winners at the Democratic National Convention Wednesday night. One was George S. McGovern. The other was Richard M.

Nixon. Both the pattern of the voting and the atmosphere on the floor made it plain that the Democratic party is not a happy ship. This does not necessarily assure the re-election of President Nixon, by any means. He has problems of his own. and McGovern is a resourceful and tenacious politician.

But Nixon does have more reason for genuine optimism than he reasonably could have expected the morning after the Democrats chose their presidential nominee. This is supposed to be a day when the Democrats are irrepressibly enthusiastic and hopeful, but that is a description that would seem to apply only to the 62 per cent here who voted for McGovern. The unyielding hostility of important elements in important states was apparent in the 'oting that everyone in the hall knew would result in McGovern winning the presidential nomination. The significant figures were those for Sen. Henry M.

Jackson, who showed nothing as a candidate all year but ended up as the "respectable" hiding place by contrast with George C. Wallace for those who couldn't brinj themselves to vote for McGovern. Thus, Jackson won 39 votes in Ohio. 86.5 in Pennsylvania. 30.5 in Illinois, 20 in Connecticut.

48.5 in Missouri, that were clear protests. On his own he hadn't earned a dozen votes in all five. The mind boggles at Jackson winning 20 of the" 51 delegates from the liberal Democratic party of Connecticut. The same pattern was there, too. in the sullen response of the delegates on the floor when McGovern went over the INDEX Ann Landers 1C Comics 6D Classified 9D-13D Editorial pages 10A.11A Family Leisure 4C Money 11B.12B Movie clock 9C Obituaries 3B Sports 1D-5D Stock 10B Television 8C Theater 9C nf (v Mm McGovern and winners 1A GOP learning McG's no patsy 3A Ted declines invitation to ticket 3A Excitement met expectations 3.4 McGovern confronts protesters 3, Tough days for George Wallace 6A Phones are lifelines for pages 3C Eleanor as potential First Lady 3C Paris talks on PARIS (AP) The Vietnam peace talks resumed today after 10 weeks but the positions of both sides appeared unchanged.

U.S. Ambassador William J. Porter put before the conference the four-point package President Nixon proposed on May 8. The Viet Cong's chief delegate. Mrs.

Nguyen Thi Binh. told newsmen she was ready to negotiate on the basis of the seven-point proposal she made a year ago. Hanoi's chief delegate. Xuan Thuy. called on the United States to end its bombardment of North Vietnam "if it really desires to negotiate" an end to the war.

The apparent lack of change was no great surprise. Any progress toward agreement is expected to come in secret sessions. Budget OK Nyack school district residents have approved. 808-628, a supplementary budget of $388,654, thus assuring next year's students an interscholastic sports program, school lunches, and regular school bus runs. These and other items, such as appropriations for library books, elementary texts and field trips, also covered by the supplementary budget, had been included in the $7,985,000 budget which was defeated June 14 by 34 votes.

Valley Cottage voters were responsible for 158 of the 180 votes by which the supplementary budget was approved.
