McGovern's to be his running mate on the 1972 Democratic 2 Hijacks: 2 Crewmen Injured PHI XT 1 WORKING ON ACCEPTANCE SPEECH-With one eye on TV monitor during nomination activity, Democratic nominee George McGovern works on draft of tonight's acceptance speech.

2nd Winner Was Nixon ticket today. Kennedy called McGovern only seconds after the first-ballot nominee had received congratulations from Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota. McGovern and Kennedy talked for 15 minutes and McGovern said later the Massachusetts senator had declined "for very real personal reasons." McGovern told Kennedy he understood his decision and later said the Kennedy family had already made what a McGovern aide described as "great sacrifices for the nation." Kennedy, however, promised McGovern he would play a major role in the coming campaign, and agreed to discuss it further with McGovern later today.

As the South Dakota senator huddled today with a score of advisers, Frank Mankiewicz, national political director for McGovern, said he expected the choice of a vice presidential candidate to be made shortly. Another aide, Ted Van Dyke, said at a luncheon break that an announcement would be made "late this afternoon."

"Obviously for me it was a difficult decision." He said he had personal family responsibilities to my family and to my brothers' families." Speaking to 25 newsmen at Dunfey's Hyannis Motel near the Kennedy Hyannisport compound, the Massachusetts senator said his decision was final and he would not accept a draft from the convention floor. "I'd turn down a draft," Kennedy said. "I've taken steps to do so if that eventually arose." Two aides have been in Miami Beach to, as Kennedy had said last weekend, "put a damper" on any draft movement.

Kennedy also said today he By JACK W. GERMOND Gannett News Service MIAMI BEACH There were two winners at the Democratic National Convention Wednesday night. One was George S. McGovern. The other was Richard M.

Nixon. Both the pattern of the voting and the atmosphere on the floor made it plain that the Democratic party is not a happy ship. This does not necessarily assure the re-election of President Nixon, by any means. He has problems of his own, and McGovern is a resourceful and tenacious politician. But Nixon does have more reason for genuine optimism than he reasonably could have expected the morning after the Democrats chose their presidential nominee.

This is supposed to be a day when the Democrats are irrepressibly enthusiastic and hopeful, but that is a description that would seem to apply only to the 62 per cent here who voted for McGovern. The unyielding hostility of important elements in important states was apparent in the voting that everyone in the hall knew would result in McGovern winning the presidential nomination. U.S. Ambassador William J. Porter put before the conference the four-point package President Nixon proposed on May 8.

The Viet Cong's chief delegate, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Binh, told newsmen she was ready to negotiate on the basis of the seven-point proposal she made a year ago. Hanoi's chief delegate, Xuan Thuy, called on the United States to end its bombardment of North Vietnam "if it really desires to negotiate" an end to the war. The apparent lack of change was no great surprise. Any progress toward agreement is expected to come in secret sessions.

Porter told the Communists that he felt it possible to find a PORTER BIMI parallel to other peaceful developments in the world since the last session. He referred to the peace moves between the two Koreas and the two Ger-manys and the agreement between the United States and the Soviet Union to settle differences by peaceful means. He did not mention U.S. relations with Communist China. The ambassador asked for "full and measured consideration" of Nixon's proposals.

"For our part," he continued, "we will give most careful attention to the views you may express and to any preliminary questions about our proposals you may wish to present. We are also entirely willing to go into any other matter you may wish to put forward." In his formal speech to the session, South Vietnamese Ambassador Pham Dang Lam rejected one of the two key points of the Communist peace plan: establishment of a coalition government in Saigon. He said the enemy invasion of the South has been "a double failure, militarily and politically" and called for an internationally supervised a e-fire throughout Indochina as proposed in President Nixon's plan. The Communists denounced Nixon's plan and insisted that the Viet Cong proposal should be the basis for a settlement of the Vietnam war. Elks Reject Integration ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.

(AP) For the fourth time in four years, delegates to the national convention of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks voted today against opening the organization to nonwhites. The two-thirds majority rejected a resolution that would have deleted the "whites only" clause from the constitution. Inside Today MmAak 6 nritlr inr rniiniil -Associated Press WIREPHOTO The significant figures were those for Sen. Henry M. Jackson, who showed nothing as a candidate all year but ended up as the "respectable" hiding place by contrast with George C.

Wallace for those who couldn't bring themselves to vote for McGovern. Thus, Jackson won 39 votes in Ohio, 86.5 in Pennsylvania, 30.5 in Illinois, 20 in Connecticut, 48.5 in Missouri, that were clear protests. On his own he hadn't earned a dozen votes in all five. The mind boggles at Jackson winning 20 of the 51 delegates from the liberal Democratic party of Connecticut. The same pattern was there, too, in the sullen response of the delegates on the floor when McGovern went over the top with 119 votes from Illinois.

Kennedy said he wired congratulations to the South Dakota senator immediately after the presidential nomination was secured.

Kennedy had been McGovern's first choice publicly and privately. He had sought Kennedy's acceptance of his offer because he felt Kennedy was probably the best person to (Continued on Page 9A) Meanwhile, -w A -w Iff 11V1F1 SI) MS- A Celebration The Corner Bar donated free beer.

The party at the American Legion hall in tiny Avon, S.D.. population 640, attracted Democrats and Republicans alike including a few guests who just happened to drop in from New York.

A home town boy was marching to the Democratic-presidential nomination and the folks were gathering with all eyes toward the television screen to watch the saga of George McGovern. "I'm a Republican and I brought sandwiches down tonight," said Geo Ruff, the wife of a farmer, and one of about 175 persons who gathered for the party. Fifty-five miles to the north in Mitchell, a community of 13,000 which McGovern moved to when a young boy, the atmosphere was generally more serene, but the spirit was there. "He's a little too liberal for me," said bar owner Charles -Roberts, who said he respected McGovern's ability. Back at Avon, however, the party in the basement of the legion hall was rolling along.

''We were just driving through and saw the birthplace and we had to stop because we were McGovern fans," said Kevin Ettinger, 40, a teacher at Hastings-on-Hud-son, N.Y. "We saw the party signs for tonight and had to come." McGovern was born in Avon 50 years ago next Wednesday in a house that was almost demolished a few years ago. But it has been restored and is the main tourist attraction of the town. Chester Fees, a Republican candidate for Bon Homme County commissioner, was at the party and said he'd been working putting up McGovern signs. "For Avon, it's the greatest thing that has ever happened," Fees said.

"So we had better back him up." Thailand Executes 2 BANGKOK (AP) Two men who pleaded guilty to bludgeoning an old couple to death while robbing them in northeast Thailand were executed by a firing squad there today. By the Associated Press Two armed hijackers who received a cash ransom and an escape plane flew to a small Texas airport from Philadelphia today. Two injured crewmen, one shot and the other badly beaten, left the jet as it was surrounded by authorities. Later, the FBI said the hijackers had agreed to give up three hostaged stewardesses and their ransom money in exchange for a private plane with an agent-pilot. The proposed deal was the first break in a long stalemate.

The hijacking of the National Airlines plane was one of two that began Wednesday night. The other hijacking was against American Airlines for a ransom of $550,000 but the Hijack Arrest 4B lone hijacker gave up at Oklahoma City in the early morning. The shotgun-wielding hijackers of the plane in Texas took four National Airlines stewardesses, a pilot and a flight engineer from Philadelphia They demanded 600,000 ransom but officials would not say how much was paid. The National Boeing 727 landed at Brazoria County Airport, near Lake Jackson about 50 miles south of Houston, the a 1 Aviation Administration said. The pilot and flight engineer were taken to a local hospital, the latter with a gunshot wound of the side.

The hijackers, who in addition to sawed-off shotguns had a box they said contained a bomb, remained on board with three stewardesses. The fourth stewardess escaped, the FAA said, in a manner not known. The plane's tires blew on landing, authorities said, rejecting earlier police reports that they were shot out. An FBI spokesman at the scene said negotiations continued with the hijackers. Asked if this meant the FBI would bring in new tires and jet fuel, the spokesman said, "If that's necessary, we'll do that." The pilot, identified as Norman W.

A call was made to the organizers at 10 minutes before the scheduled start of Fischer's second game with Boris Spassky of Russia. It said Fischer wasn't coming.

He indicated that this secret meeting was convened the night before Fauntroy and three other black congressmen held a press conference announcing their endorsement of McGovern and the delivery of a bloc of 95 previously uncommitted black delegate votes.

Fauntroy contended that the o-McGovern movement among the delegates began snowballing several days prior to the start of the convention on Monday. And the voting trend of black delegates on the crucial California challenge Monday night told resoundingly that a substantial number of the 453 black delegates were in the McGovern corner. The congressman said when the vote on the California challenge reached 1,509, he was immediately called by the McGovern people and told, "The black delegates did it They put us over." In an interview, Fauntroy (Continued on Page 9A) No Debate About Wife's Elation -d Bat 1 1 A By GRAYSON MITCHELL The Press-Chicago Sun-Times MIAMI BEACH Blacks have been promised a substantial increase in federal jobs, 40 per cent of Democratic voter registration funds, and more than one cabinet post in a McGovern administration, Walter E. Fauntroy, the nonvoting congressional representative from the District of Columbia said Wednesday. Fauntroy disclosed that Sen.

George McGovern made the pledges to a group of blacks nearly a month ago. McGovern said that, if elected president, blacks in every state who supported his candidacy would be given a "piece of the action." Fauntroy, who was a seconder of McGovern's nomination, explained that the number of federal patronage jobs and executive appointments would be allocated according to the blacks' percentage of the total populations in their state. The congressman said that McGovern also promised to earmark 40 per cent of the Democratic party's funds for black voter registration. The drive will be conducted between August and the presidential election in November. Asked if a part of the nego-tiated package included McGovern's appointing one or more black cabinet members, Fauntroy said "yes it does.

How many? No exact number was given. But McGovern did say black cabinet members, and I emphasize the plural." Fauntroy said these concessions came out of a meeting of McGovern and a group Pedestrian Killed DE KALB JUNCTION, N.Y.

"I thought I would know what it would feel like," she said. "But I didn't expect to feel overwhelmed." Dressed in a simple, long white gown and wearing a special silver bracelet signifying her concern for American prisoners of war, Mrs. McGovern was surrounded by her five children in a VIP box 50 yards from the Democratic National Convention podium.
