Vice presidential ambitions swelled in a dozen hearts while McGovern pondered his choice. Whispers and rumors and speculation -i, and clandestine campaigning were evident wherever Democrats gathered.

Police radio reports said officers shot out the aircraft's tires. In another hijacking, an armed man who collected $50,000 ransom abandoned an apparent plan to try to escape by parachute and surrendered meekly to a stewardess. His pistol had no bullets, but of-' ficers did not know that until the hijacking of the Dallas-bound American Airlines jet was all over. Both planes were commandeered last night. After the plane landed at the Texas field, its stairs were lowered and the flight engineer, who had been pistol whipped, either was thrown out or escaped, the FAA said.

He was taken to a local hospital. The hijackers remained aboard the National Airlines with experience during Cuban refugee airlifts. National Airlines identified the other stewardesses as Catherine A. Nosse, 28, iif' Miami Springs, and Donna S. Thomas and Linda Joiner, both 24, of Miami.

Other crew members were identified as Elliott M. Adams, 52, of Miami, the cap-' tain; Norman W. Reagan, 34, of Miami, the copilot; and Gerald L. Beaver, 37, of Spring City, Texas, the flight engineer. Adams escaped when the aircraft landed earlier in Philadelphia.

The three other stewardesses taken hostage were still aboard. Witnesses said she walked out onto the wing, jumped to the ground and was picked up by a sheriffs patrol car. At i noon, the FBI was still report-, ed questioning her and the list of demands had not been released. Her step-father, Donny Slay of Pompano Beach, described her as a "cool-headed girl," a five-year veteran stewardess 727 with the pilot and four stewardesses. The two hijackers of a National Airlines Boeing 727 plane out of Philadelphia released 111 passengers who endured nine hours of suffocating heat as the aircraft sat on a runway in Philadelphia In- ternational Airport while FBI agents haggled with the gunman over details of delivering the ransom money and freeing the passengers.
