Friday, July 14, 1972 Green Bay Press-Gazette Fischer Balks, Loses on Forfeit REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) An appeals committee rejected today Bobby Fischer's protest against his loss of Thursday's world championchess game by forfeit. ship. four-man committee supported the decision of chief referee Lothar Schmid to award the game to Boris Spassky because Fischer failed to appear. The decision left Fischer two games down in a 24-game From Page A-1 McGovern Calls for Dem Unity that marked the needed ma- jority. As votes were checked, the defeated candidates most prominent among them being Texas state Rep.

Frances T. "Sissy" Farenthold, Sen. Mike Gravel of Alaska, and former Massachusetts Gov. Endicott Peabody trooped to the rostrum and declared support for Eagleton. The roll call was never finished.

Then, after delegates sang "United We Stand, Divided We Fall" while waving their fingers aloft in the V-shaped peace symbol, Convention Vice Chairman Yvonne Braithwaite Burke, a black Californian, brought Eagleton to the platform. After acknowledging the cheers, he praised the delegates from Wallace's Alabama for their "gracious courtesy" in supporting the presidential nominee's right to choose a running mate, and vowed to carry "a new message of hope to the American people" in the campaign ahead. And in what seems likely to be his line of attack against the man he hopes to displace, Vice President Spiro T. Agnew, Eagleton pledged to "restore the dignity" of the vice presidency as an office "whose occupant must appeal to the highest, not the basest, motives of our fellow Americans." Then came Kennedy, last man of the family which has seen two other sons fall before assassins, declaring the party "has met the test of greatness" by nominating McGovern and Eagleton. "Let no one doubt the energy of this party, for we are united by heritage," he declared.

He said Nixon's Republican administration has failed its test "and the failure of leadership will be rewarded by failure at the polls this November." The thunderous reception accorded Kennedy, who sat out the convention at his Hyannis Port, home, rivaled that given McGovern, whose candidacy fell heir to much of the support of Kennedy's slain brother, Robert. Security in the hall, tight all week, appeared redoubled as additional agents took up their places around the rostrum. Then, as the convention band blared the strains of "Happy Days are Here Again" and "When the Saints Go Marching In," McGovern came forth, followed by the rivals who had earlier pledged to back his effort this fall. Often as he spoke, his supporters erupted in applause as he pledged an end to the Vietnam war, as he pledged before all else that "the doors of government will be opened, and that war will be closed." The Wallace supporters, centered in the delegations from Alabama, Texas, Florida and Michigan, sat silently through much of the speech. They filed out quietly as McGovern's supporters stood and cheered, clapped and marched following his speech.

The ovation that followed, surpassing his greeting, went on for minutes as the other top Democrats again faced the cheers of the crowd. Chants of "Let's go, George" filled the hall as the Democratic ticket, beaming and waving, stood before the crowd. Earlier in the evening, O'Brien, in what many saw as a farewell speech after more than two years of party leadership, looked ahead to victory at the polls in November and said, if that happens, "we remember this place as the place where the Democratic party came back to life." After returning to Washington today, McGovern flies to South Dakota on Saturday. match where Fischer needs the equivalent of 12 victories and a draw to take Spassky's title. Andrew Davis, Fischer's lawyer who arrived this morning from New York, was in the anteroom when assistant referee Gudmunder Arnlaugsson of Iceland announced the forfeit would be maintained.

Asked if his client would play the next scheduled game on Sunday, Davis replied: "I can't From Page A-1 comment on that." Davis, who appeared upset at the ruling, said he had not seen Fischer since he got here. Four chess officials considered Fischer's appeal. Arnlaugsson said, "'We agreed to support Schmid's decision. Three of us felt that it could not be done otherwise. There was one against." man who backed Fischer's appeal was Fred Cramer, an official of the U.S.

Chess Wisconsin Delegation Splits Over Eagleton I thought the leaders were here in Miami Beach," Peterson said. Harry Peterson of Green Bay was applauded for saying the caucus was talking nonsense about "kidnaping" Kennedy. "He has said he doesn't want to run. He has said he has responsibilities to his family. He received death threats.

It is irresponsible, virtually immoral, to press somebody to run under those circumstances," Peterson said. While realizing that they From Page A-1 2 Hijackers Surrender In Texas engine jet returned to Philadelpha. The hijackers had demanded about $600,000 and 20,000 Mexican pesos worth $1,600 and 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 Adams, 52, of Miami jumped out the front window.

After the plane landed at Lake Jackson, copilot Norman W. Reagan, 34, of Miami and flight engineer Gerald Beaver, 37, of Spring, both jumped out of the front of the plane, leaving three stewardesses behind. Reagan suffered a broken pelvis, broken wrist, possible facial breaks, broken ribs and contusions when he jumped. Beaver had been shot once in the right side, apparently after the pilot's escape in Philadelphia. Both men were listed in fair to good condition at a Houston hospital.

A fourth stewardesses, Sande Schmitt, 26, of Fort Lauderdale, escaped while acting as a go-between for the hijackers with the FBI. When the two men surrendered they released the three other stwardesses, all unhurt. They were Catherine A. Nosse, 28, Miami Springs; Donna S. Thomas, 24, Miami; and Linda Joiner, Miami.

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. Bags Searched CHICAGO (AP) Two major U.S. airlines have announced stepped-up security measures in an attempt to thwart hijackings. American Airlines said Thursday that carry-on baggage was being inspected at boarding gates as passengers walked onto planes at O'Hare International Airport. United Air Lines, the nation's largest carrier, announced it will employ personnel to inspect all hand luggage carried by persons boarding its 727 flights.

It added that it will continue its policy of making spot checks of passengers boarding its other flights. An American Airlines spokesman said the luggage inspection would not be limited to passengers boarding the 727s. Edward Carlson, president and chief executive officer of United, said the increased se-' curity measures were being put into effect "immediately throughout our system."

NEW USED MACHINES: PACKERLAND BUSINESS MACHINES 500 N. Webster 'Closed Saturday Mornings During June, July Aug. Dial 435-5241 From Page A-1 Ted Backed Lucey for Second Spot sources involved at the time. That, plus Lucey's continuing desire for a convention role and his attachment to the Kennedy organization, led state Democratic Party Chairman Willard Gerrard of La Crosse to open personal political relations with Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley.

Attempts were made during the convention to use those contacts to help settle the party reform battle with Daley, but the mayor's refusal to negotiate blocked a compromise and, subsequently, Lucey's possible use of that resource in his vice presidential bid. Lucey also attempted to use similar contacts with national labor leaders for the same purpose during the final hours of his campuign to be McGovern's running mate. The crux of Lucey's attempted appeal was based on his liberal background, experience as a governor, Roman Catholic religion and his record as a staunch McGovern supporter from the final days of the Wisconsin primary on. Eagleton's record is very similar, involving instead the U.S. Senate, but he had supported Sen.

Edmund Muskie for the presidential nomination until the Maine senator withdrew from the race this week. Wisconsin is considered at present a safer McGovern state this fall than is Missouri. Had Lucey been successful, he would have been the first major national candidate from Wisconsin since 1924, when Sen. Robert M. LaFollette ran for president on the third party Progressive ticket.

Elks Vote To Retain 'Whites Only' Clause ATLANTIC CITY (AP) Delegates to the national convention of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks voted Thursday against opening the organization to nonwhites. The two-thirds majority rejected a resolution that would have deleted the "white only" clause from the constitution. It was fourth time in five years that the Elks, the world's largest fraternal organization, with a membership of more than one and a half million, voted to retain the controversial clause inserted in the constitution in 1888. A majority of delegates at a New Orleans convention last Federation and an associate of Fischer. The other members were Nikolai Krogius, a Spassky aide, and Baldur Moller, an official of the Icelandic Chess Federation, which organized the match.

Fischer refused to play Thursday because he said the presence of three cameras in the Sports Palace where the games are played bothered him. He stayed in his hotel room. A second part of his protest objected to conditions of play. Fischer wanted the cameras removed. They are used for movies and television.

Arnlaugsson said the committee reserved a decision on that and had invited both players to inspect the hall this afternoon so the problem could be discussed. Chester Fox, the New York promoter who bought the film rights to the match, said he met with Fischer at the Yale Club in New York last June 28 to discuss arrangements. Fox said he explained how the cameras would be used, and said Fischer raised no objections, adding: "'He seemed perfectly reasonable." "We discussed how we would film. He wanted to know specifically how much money he would get. That's all he was interested in," Fox added.

Schmid said the third game of the 24-game match would be held on 1 schedule Sunday, but the future of the match was very much in doubt. Schmid said it depends on whether Fischer continues his boycott. He added that the World Chess Federation FIDE could step in at any time and disqualify him. But Dr. Max Euwe, president of the organization, said Schmid was still in charge of the match and must decide how to handle the American.

year voted for its deletion, but that vote fell short of the twothirds required. Even if 1 the resolution to eliminate the clause had received a twothirds majority this year, it still would have needed ratification by a majority of the more than 2,000 local Elks lodges. The resolution was offered by the Madison, lodge, which has sponsored similar resolutions at previous conventions. Because of the alleged discriminatory policies, numerous Elks lodges in Wisconsin have had tax exemption privileges revoked. The Green Bay lodge is one of them.

Records of the Day would be snowed under at the convention, the delegates voted unanimously to join the the effort to return to the original party reform charter from a watered-down compromise which emerged during convention week to satisfy complaints that members of Congress would lose too much say in party affairs. The compromise cuts back on "grassroots" members of an expanded National Committee, appoints a commission to keep working on reform and calls for a policy decision at a 1974 convention. Donald Peterson said the compromise will salvage some things.

"I think it is important to come out with something. I this is the best we can do. We much prefer en the original, but need some kind of structure for a national political party which we don't have now. And in two years we will have a policy conference," Peterson said. Nikolay announced that the McGovern campaign apparatus of the April primary will be reconstructed for the November election, with a regional office in Green Bay.

Some delegates urged prompt contacts with the formal party organization. "We should work a as closely as possible with local Democratic organizations. There are a number of them with good legislative candidates. We should demonstrate that McGovern has good coattails and get cooperative work in return," said Arnold Serwer of Madison.

Bombs about some drastic changes in their fliers' tactics. The weapon is the SA7, or "Strela" a Soviet missile which the North Vietnamese fire from the shoulder like a bazooka. It is much like the U.S. Redeye missile. The Strela is equipped with an infrared homing device that is attracted to the heat given off by an aircraft engine and carries a high-explosive warhead.

It has proved very effective, especially against the comparatively slow helicopters and propeller planes, officers say. Military sources estimate that more than a dozen U.S. aircraft and at least that many South Vietnamese helicopters and planes have been downed by Strela missiles since they appeared on the battlefield in early May.
