McGovern's reference was to Nixon's statement after his loss of the 1962 California gubernatorial campaign. McGovern, who has been widely criticized by fellow Democrats for his proposals to cut the U.S. defense budget, attempted in his speech to reassure them that he would not play into the hands of an enemy.

As he often has done in his November race between McGovern and Richard Nixon.

Leonard Woodcock, president of the United Auto Workers, one of the few labor laders backing McGovern, and himself a possi-, bility for vice presidency for a time, hailed Eagleton as a "fine choice. He has an excellent record as far as labor is concerned." McGovern turned to Eagleton a te telephone consultations with Democratic leaders around the country convinced McGovern that two big-city mayors McGovern had in mind for the vice presidency were too little known. "I'm flabbergasted," said Eagleton when he received the call from McGovern, his hand trembling as it held the telephone. "I'm so surprised my brain is numb," he later told reporters. In picking Eagleton, McGovern spurned entreaties by many Democratic leaders to try to patch up the rancorous split in the party by selecting a running mate who could woo back the disenchanted "old guard" and help carry the South in November.

Rep. William Clay, a black from Eagleton's home state, reported that McGovern selected Eagleton after Mayors Kevin White of Boston and Moon Landrieu of New Orleans proved unacceptable to Democratic leaders who were consulted by telephone in a long day of deliberation. Clay said he received his information from Walter Faun troy, the District of Columbia's non-voting delegate to Congress, who was a member of a black group which was admitted to McGovern's headquarters as an observer representing black delegates to the convention. Eagleton's name was not announced until 3 p.m. CDT and even when it was it did not dampen the campaigns of other vice presidential hopefuls.

By Jim Barlow LAKE JACKSON, Tex. (AP) Two air pirates surrendered at a small airfield here Thursday, ending a 21-hour marathon hijacking that began with the forced flight of a jetliner to Philadelphia where the men received a ransom, parachutes and a new plane.

The two men released three hostage stewardesses, the only other persons still aboard the National Airlines jet, and left the plane holding their hands over their heads. The flight engineer and copi lot, one suffering a gunshot wound and the other badly beaten, had left the plane earlier. The men hijacked the first National jet as it approached New York's Kennedy Airport Wednesday evening. They diverted it to Philadelphia where they demanded $600,000 in U.S. currency and $20,000 in Mexican currency, as well as parachutes.

They received the parachutes and an undisclosed amount of ransom, and the 113 passengers were permitted to leave the Boeing 727. But the three-engine jet lost its electric power and a second 727 was brought to the runway for the hijackers.

O'Brien said Thursday night he had made an "unalterable" decision not to continue as Democratic national chairman after the end of the party's convention. O'Brien, who led the debt-ridden Democratic Party through some of its most turbulent years and its greatest reforms, said he would step down when the National Committee meets Friday.

"There will be no more Asian children running ablaze from bomhed-out schools." Turning to domestic issues, McGovern criticized the Nixon administration's handling of the economy, saying: "For more than three years we have tolerated stagnation and a rising level of unemployment." Under his presidency, McGovern promised, "whatever employment the private sector does not provide, the federal government will either stimulate or provide itself. Whatever it takes, this countr yis going back to work." McGovern struck in mostly general terms at the American tax system, saying it is unfair and full of loopholes. McGovern avoided any specific reference to his controversial welfare refrom plan that would guarantee an annual minimum income for all Americans. In fact, there were few specifics on any of the senator's major proposals except the Indochina war. McGovern concluded by saying: "May God grant us the wisdom to cherish this good land and to meet the great challenge that beckons us home." stroller msuliicient security measures.

O'Brien said he had discussed his situation with George McGovern several times and had promised to stay through the 36th quadrennial convention. But O'Brien, on the national political scene for a dozen years, said he had made his decision to step down. O'Brien said he had been urged to reconsider but added, "I don't believe I'll change my mind." After McGovern was nominated, he asked O'Brien to stay on the job through the NovemDer elections, a move widely seen as a gesture of conciliation to old guard Democrats.

O'Brien told delegates that as he finished his term as national chairman his "fondest desire" was that the party remain level with the American people.

Delegates from seven of the eight Congressional districts urged a united effort to work for as strong a showing as possible for McGovern. An exception was the Sixth District, which supplied all three of the state's Wallace delegates.

State Rep. Woody Jenkins told the group, "We Wallace supporters came home with nothing to show for our trip here. Not a single Wallace plank was adopted." "You won the whole ball-game," Jenkins said in a tone more resigned than angry. He stated that although the delegation was representative of the state on the basis of race, sex and age, it was not chiloconhi-cally representative of a state tliat gave only 28 per cent of its votes to Humphrey in 1968. He predicted the guidelines for delegate selection would be changed before the 1976 convention.

Camille Gravel of Alexandria said the delegation "has come along" in relaxing some of the internal tensions that had existed when the delegates arrived in Miami Sunday. The caucus also heard an appeal from Sen. Gravel for support of his bid for the vice presidential nomination.

By Sam Hanna Times Washington Bureau MIAMI BEACH Louisiana's Democratic Convention delegates Thursday abandoned any attempt to unite behind Sen. Thomas Eagleton, as a vice presidential candidate and voted to let each delegate "vote his own conscience." Delegation chairman Zelma Wyche of Tallulah called a late afternoon caucus which convened after presidential nominee Sen. George McGovern, had chosen the Missourian as a running mate. Wyche asked if anyone wanted to organize a united delegation but an overwhelming majority voted nay. Several delegates wanted to vote for New Orleans Mayor Moon Landrieu, who announced that because he had not been an enthusiastic supporter of McGovern he did not think the voies would be appropriate.

Ldendrieu, who had finally supported McGovern on the balloting Wednesday night, said a senator whom he would not name had told him recently that a Southern Catholic mayor (of whom Landrieu is one of very few of any prominence) would make an ideal running mate for McGovern, but Landrieu called it merely a one-tine idea. Appearance by Gravel It was apparent that the appearance of Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel before the Louisiana contingent five -vtrs had gained some support in a delegation that could not brag about being wooed by major candidates.
