MORSE Gov. Meskill's first full fiscal year of austerity may have end ed with a substantial surplus perhaps as high as $30 million. Estimates obtained Thursday indicated the surplus could top $20 million and may even reach $30 million. With the final figures for the fiscal year (which ended June 30) yet to be detailed, only' predictions could be culled from various sources. All were solidly in the black.

The welfare budget was forecast as producing a major surplus due to controversial cutbacks in case loads and departmental employes during the year. One source saw a welfare surplus of more than $25 million in his crystal ball. From the Democratic camp came a forecast of "close to $20 million" by State Sen. Robert D. Houley of Vernon, co-chairman of the General Assembly's Appropriations Committee.

In a prepared statement issued Thursday afternoon, Houley claimed that any surplus would force Meskill to "eat fiscal crow." Houley argued that a sizeable Turns Down Nomination By JACK ZAIMAN Political Writer MIAMI BEACH Sen. Abra ham Ribicoff was offered the vice presidential nomination Thursday afternoon by Sen. George S. McGovern, the Democratic presidential nominee. "George, I love you," said Ribicoff, "but I can't do it." The telephone call from Ms-Govern to Ribicoff came to the Americana Hotel shortly after the Connecticut senator finished presiding over the final caucus of tile Connecticut delegation to the Democratic National Convention.

It was about 2 p.m. Ribicoff was being trailed by group of national television cameramen, as well as photographers for national news magazines. They attended the Connecticut caucus, taking yards of film and scores of pictures. After the caucus, Ribicoff went to his rooms upstairs at the Americana, where he received the telephone call from McGovern, one of his close friends. Inside Support It has been known for about two weeks that Ribicoff had strong support on the inside cf the McGovern strategy board for the vice presidential nomination.

One of those who favored, him was Pierre Salinger, McGovern's national political coordinator. Another who liked Ribicoff for vice president is Frank Man-kiewicz, McGovern's convention campaign manager. A Ribicaif. aide said thai McGovern, when talking to Rib icoff, said: "Abe, I want you to be my vice presidential nominee." Ribicoff clearly was prepared to say no which he has been saying for the past two weeks when it first became known he was under serious consideration for the second spot on the ticket. There is some indication that McGovern and Ribicoff had discussed the matter recently.

Speculation about this arose because, it seemed, Ribicoff would not be turning something down unless it had been offered. But Ribicoff never said it had been offered before Thursday. All he said was that he didn't want the nomination. Just why Ribicoff turned See RIBICOFF, Page 2, Col. 6 Spreading the News Sen.

At the time, Meskill declared that unless cuts of $85 million were made in the budget, the state would end the year by that much in the red. "When the final figures are in," Houley said, "it will be clear that the assembly did a pretty good job in spite of the administration's flat refusal to provide needed budget data and the muzzling of state Comptrol ler Nathan Agostinelli. But don't look for Meskill to admit that, he added. Whatever the surplus is, it will be applied to paying off a portion of the $243 million general fund deficit which mush roomed during the final years of the previous Democratic admin istration. The current plan to pay off the deficit covers a 10-year peri od.

When he recommended an increase in the sales tax from 6te per cent to 7 per cent, Meskill explained that the extra Vt per cent was not needed for current operations but to start pay ing off the $243 million deficit.

1 i his soggy reputation is a matter scholarly dispute. MIAMI BEACH (UPI) George S. McGovern, declining to seek party unity with an old- guard running mate, hand- picked freshman Missouri Sen Thomas F. Eagleton Thursday for the No. 2 spot on his ticket this fall.

A 42-year-old Roman Catho lic, Eagleton matched the McGovern mold as a liberal and a member of the Senate's antiwar bloc. Still, he was seen as possible link to organized labor, which has threatened to sit out a November race between McGovern and Richard Nixon. Lauded by Woodcock Leonard Woodcock, president of the United Auto Workers, one of the few labor leaders backing McGovern, and himself a possibility for vice presidency for a tune, hailed Eagleton as a "fine choice. He has an excellent record as far as labor is concerned." McGovern turned to Eagleton after telephone consultations with Democratic leaders around the country convinced Mc Govern 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, Mc Govern 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 November. Muskie Supporter Frank Mankiewicz, Mc Govern's political coordinator who announced his selection, jsaid Eagleton was "an early and loyal and consistent suppor ter" of San. Edmund s. MusKie.

He will add "a great deal to the Democratic ticket in the fall," Mankiewicz said. See Page 28, Col.

When he died on July 2, 862, the humble and charitable bishop asked to be buried in a "vile and unworthy place" rather than within the famed Winchester Cathedral.

One story has it that he asked to be laid to rest outside the north wall of the cathedral so passersby might tread on his grave and raindrops fall on it from the church eaves high above. About a hundred years later Swithin was canonized and plans were made to move his remains to a more saintly spot in the cathedral. According to legend, the transfer was scheduled to take place July 15, 984, but it was delayed because of violent rains that lasted for 40 days afterwards. Scholars say the transfer of his body was the occasion for numerous miracles. of the party "a nomination ol the people," the South Dakota senator said the United States is "entering a new period of important, hopeful change corn' parable to the political ferment in the eras of Jefferson, Jackson and Roosevelt." McGovern called on every Democrat "and every Republican and independent who wants America to be the great and good land it can be" to support his campaign against President Nixon.

"We are not conceding a single state to Richard Nixon," McGovern told the Democratic National Convention in his acceptance speech prepared for the final night of its quad rennial meeting. Conciliatory Air McGovern, whose nomination was viewed by many in his own party as a threat to Democratic candidates throughout the coun try, was highly conciliatory toward his opponents. McGovern, who earlier in the day had looked to a border state for a vice presidential mate in Missouri, Sen. Thomas Eagleton; said he will campaign "in the North, South, East and West." "To anyone in this hall or beyond who doubts the ability of Democrats to join together in common cause, McGovern said, "I say never under estimate the power of Richard Nixon to brine harmony to Democratic ranks. He is our unwitting unifier and the funda mental issue of this campaign.

Help Keep Pledge "And all of us together are going to help him redeem the pledge he made 10 years ago: next year you won nave Kich- ard Nixon to kick around any more. McGovern's reference was to Nixon's statement after his loss of the 1962 California guberna torial 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.

Army headquarters reported about 1,800 troops quickly established control of a four-mile-square area of the Andersons-town Catholic "no-go" zone. One soldier was believed killed in the assault.

A spokesman said that as the troops moved in, a fierce battle broke out between soldiers and IRA gunmen in the Catholic Lower Falls region of Belfast. This evidently was an IRA diversionary tactic, he said. Heavy shooting also was reported in other areas of Belfast. The penetration of Andersons-town, was the first major military operation of its kind carried out by soldiers since Britain imposed direct rule on Northern Ireland more than three months ago. Military headquarters said' the invasion of Andersons-town a long-lime IRA bastionwas carried out on express orders from William Whitelaw, tht British administrator of Northern Ireland.
