Chants of "Let's go, George" filled the hall as the Democratic ticket, beaming and waving, stood before the crowd.

Despite public avowals of confidence, some in the hall were unsure. Southern governors, such as Georgia's Jimmy Carter and North Carolina's Robert W. Scott, said they would have preferred a different ticket. But they pledged support. A big question mark was Wallace, confined to a wheelchair since the May 15 at- day.

McGovern also had to decide on a new chairman for the Democratic National Committee, which holds a morning organizational meeting. While be has pressed Chairman Lawrence F.

Three soldiers and three civilians were reported killed, raising the confirmed death toll to 16 since Wednesday and to 432 in the three years of communal violence in Northern Ireland. The army claimed to have hit more than 30 gunmen, but recovered no bodies because the guerrillas carry away their casualties for burial or treatment.

Shooting erupted in all of Belfast's major Catholic strongholds after three battalions of troops invaded the IRA "no go" district of Andersonstown to quell gunmen who had poured intensive fire at an army command post for four days. It was the first time the army had entered one of the districts taken over by the IRA. In the past such areas have been off limits to prevent a confrontation with the guerrillas holding sway there. Protestant militants have been demanding for months that the army go into the no go areas and clean out the IRA.

McGovern chose the handsome, articulate, first-term Missouri senator, a border-state Catholic with strong ties to labor, from a field of a half-dozen senators, governors and mayors.

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.
