1 1 1 1 1 MUNCIE EVENING PRESS, SATURDAY, JULY 15, 1972 PAGE SEVEN McGovern 'Without Illusions, Admits It'll Be Uphill Effort By JIM ADAMS WASHINGTON (AP) Democratic presidential candidate George S. McGovern has tried out the President's landing strip at Andrews Air Force Base and says he likes it. "We've got to get used to that," McGovern said, stepping off his chartered jet Friday night. But he said he knows he has a long way to go before he will be using the two presidential parked near his aircraft. "We're not under illusions that the battle is won," said.

"We know it's an uphill effort. I "But I have much the same feeling I had in New Hampshire at the beginning of the year-it's an uphill effort but I think we're going to go over the top." EAGLETON IS HAPPY BUT VERY TIRED Meanwhile, McGovern's run.ning mate, Sen. Thomas Eagleton was welcomed back to his home state by 400 cheering supporters at Kansas City Municipal Airport Friday night. After the flight in from Miami Beach, the 42-year-old senator said he felt somewhere "between euphoria and tired." He plans to fly to Washington immediately after a speaking engagement before re the National Audio-Visual Association at Kansas City today. McGovern brought a sizable portion of the Washington press corps and the District of Columbia delegation home with him a Friday night from Miami Beach.

He moved up and down the aisle during the flight, obviously in a good mood. "It was a hectic, crazy week," he told one delegate. "But it came out all right." BUY NOW! OR LAYAWAY FOR BACKTO- SCHOOL CUT UP TO $1.27 PRICE SELECTION OF GIRLS' BETTER DRESSES Sizes 3 to 6X ea. Our Reg. 3.97 to 4.27 ear.

McGovern spent most of the day in consultations with party leaders and attended a meeting of the Democratic National Committee meeting at which Lawrence F. O'Brien resigned as national chairman. McGovern announced the new chairman is Mrs. Jean Westwood of West Jordan, Utah, who was Utah Democratic committeewoman and an ardent McGovern supporter. McGovern received something of a setback in his choice for party vice chairman.

He nominated Pierre Salinger, a campaign adviser and former White House press secretary, but blacks on the committee nominated Basil Paterson of New York, a black former state senator. SALINGER VACATES IN FAVOR OF BLACK An awkward moment followed, and Salinger, apparently noting the vigorous applause for Paterson, withdrew from contention, saying, "I think I sense the feeling of this committee." Paterson was elected. Mrs. Westwood is the first woman of either major party to head a national committee. Friends described the 48-yearold grandmother as a dedicated organizer who knew Sen.

McGovern would get the nomination when others considered him a long shot. Aides said McGovern plans to relax at home in Washington all weekend with no public appearances and no meetings, and then leave Monday morning for a two-week vacation at Sylvan Lake Lodge near Custer, S.D. Connally Blasts Peace Pledger SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (AP) Former Treasury Secretary John B. Connally, a Democrat and close of President Nixon, has fired a verbal barrage in what promises to be a continuing White House campaign assault on Sen.

George McGovern, the Democratic presidential nominee. President Nixon has said he will avoid public involvement in politics until after next month's Republican convention. But he let Connally use the front lawn of the Western White House on Friday to take roundhouse swings at McGovern before cameras and microphones. Identifying himself as a lifelong Democrat who never bolted the party ticket, Connall said he will not support McGovern and will try to rally Democrats behind Nixon. TAKES AIM AT PLEDGE TO END WAR QUICKLY Connally took aim at McGovern's pledge to bring home all American troops and war prisoners from Southeast Asia within 90 days after his inauguration if elected.

"Obviously," said Connally, "a president of the United States has no capacity, no power to bring home prisoners of war in the hands of the North Vietnamese. "It is an unfair statement, and it is a statement that, frankly, sabotages the efforts of this administration and of the peace negotiators in Paris to try to bring the war to an end Connally came here to report to Nixon on a 35-day trip around the world undertaken at the President's request. Asked about continuing speculation that Nixon might tag him to replace Vice President Spiro T. Agnew on the GOP ticket, Connally said he doesn't want the job and doesn't expect By IAN WESTERGREN REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) -The organizers of the troubled Bobby Fischer- Boris Spassky world championship match fear that the $250,000 match for the world title is already over, informed chess sources said today. There is still a faint hope that Fischer, the temperamental American, may change his mind and decide to play Sunday when the third game is scheduled.

But even Fischer's own advisers express pessimism. "It's all up in the air. Nothing has been settled," said The Rev. William Lombardy, Fischer's second. Even if the organizers, the owner of the film and television rights and Lothar Schmid, the International Chess Federation (FIDE) arbiter, concede to Fischer's demand that all cameras be removed from the hall Sunday, Fischer may stay away.

AMERICAN UNLIKELY TO ACCEPT DEFAULT American chess it's unlikely that challenger accepts and the match decision to give game to Spassky Fischer stayed day and was the match when sources said the 29-year-old the give the second on default. away Thursdisqualified from one hour of the IN THE Open Daily playing time elapsed. He lodged an official protest but the match committee upheld the arbiter's decision to give Spassky the game point. It means that Fischer, who himself had predicted an easy. victory over the 35-year-old Russian world champion, now finds himself two points down having played only one match.

Fischer told an Icelandic. friend that he suspects, a against him and conspiracy, no longer interested in the match. There were even reports in Reykjavik that the American may fly back to the United States over the weekend. "I haven't heard anything; about that and I hope it's not said Father Lombardy. Fischer, a member of the Church of God--a fundamentalist sect -observes his Sabbath on Saturday and will conduct no.

CHESS: FINNISH STYLE I HELSINKI, Finland--As the world chess championship rages on in Reykjavik, chess zealots around the world try their luck, as 10-year-old Vesa Ahlquist does in a Helsinki park.
