(AP) -Sen. George McGovern, attaching negative motives to the Nixon administration's so-called Southern strategy, has committed himself to "doing major political battle with the President for the hearts and votes of Dixie residents. The South Dakota lawmaker, who is favored to capture the Democratic presidential nomination next month, shrugged off predictions the South will easily go Republican this year, and he promised Tuesday he would campaign hard in the region. Newspaper writers and politicians "who keep claiming I don't have any chance" in the South against Nixon "may be in for one of the biggest sur-prises of their lives," McGovern told a Little Rock, rally. "If there's anyone under the impression that we're going to write off the South, or any other part of the country, forget it," he later told a meeting of Arkansas Democratic convention delegates.

"We're going to come into every state in the Union, especially in the South." "I want to offer something other than the Nixon strategy," he said during the campaign day that took him from San Antonio, to Little Rock, where approximately 4 0 0 0 newsmen's estimatescheered him. The Nixon strategy, he said, is "a divisive one, one that appeals to the Old South, to the worst instincts in all of us." McGovern said several times during the day he thinks the South would benefit more than any other region by his populistic tax reform proposals and his plan to end the Vietnam war within 90 days of his inauguration. The South, he said, has suffered a disproportionate number of casualties in the war. He admitted, however, that his support of school busing to achieve racial desegregation could hurt him in the region, but, speaking to the Arkansas Turn to McGOVERN Page 3A raw ft LONDON The slightly in early dealings exchange rrarket today. $2.4950 compared with close of $2.50 and a later pound sterling dipped on the London foreign First quotes put it at Tuesday night's London rate of $2.5150.

WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. Lee Mctcalf said today that some of the nation's largest banks hold huge hidden blocks of stock perhaps even controlling interest in many of the biggest U.S. corporations. But these banks are difficult to identify, he said, because on stockholder lists they almost always appear under corporate pseudonyms for which translations are not readily available. For example, Chase Manhattan Bank is rarely identified on stockholder lists.

Instead, it appears under one of its 24 street names, a list that includes Clint. Cudd, Egger, Gooss, Gunn, Kane and Ring. Metcalf, a Montana Democrat and a member of the Senate Government Operations Committee, made his remarks in a speech prepared for de- livery to the Senate. The use of street names by large institutional investors leads to problems, Metcalf said, particularly in industries required by law to make public the names of large shareholders in annual reports to federal regulatory agencies. For example, the Civil Aero World bids for RENO, Nev.

Baltimore Colts quarterback John Unitas (right) was married 45 minutes after divorcing his wife of 18 years, according to the football star's attorney. Louis Wiener, a Las Vegas lawyer, reported Tuesday that Unitas married 28-year-old Sandra Louice Lemon of Miami on Monday at Washoe County Courthouse. The 39-ycar-old Unitas and his first wife, Dorothy, were married in Ohio in 1954, Wiener added. The attorney said they had been separated for two years. I A he understands that 5 per crnt can constitute controlling interest if other votes are scattered.

Metcalf said he would introduce later this year a "corporate ownership report act" which would require companies to disclose the true identity of those interests which have voting control over large amounts of stock. Metcalf said also he found bank domination in the broadcasting and electric-utility industries. "A survey of 19 banks showed that among them individual banks controlled more than 1 per cent of the stock of 25 broadcast companies, more than 3 per cent of the stock of 15 companies, more than 5 per cent of the stock of nine companies," Mctcalf said. "And one 'bankcastcr' had more than 10 per cent of the stock in a station." He did not identify any of the companies. Among his findings on bank-holdings among electric utili ties: Chase Manhattan, using four street names, is among the top 10 stockholders of 42 utilities.

More weather on Page 2A. SAIGON (AP) The South Vietnamese government today launched its first attempt to recapture Quang Tri Province. More than 10,000 marines and paratroopers crossed the My Chanh River along a 10-mile front stretching from the South China Sea to the jungled foothills west of Highway 1. U.S.B52bombers dropped some 1,350 tons of explosives to open the way for the push. Tanks, artillery.

U.S. gunfire from ships offshore and American fighter-bombers supported the advancing troops. There were no immediate reports on the extent of North Vietnamese resistance or of casualties. Since the North Vietnamese completed their conquest of Quang Tri, South Vietnam' northernmost province, on May 1, the South Vietnamese have made a number of in-and-out sweeps into the Communist held territory along the coast. But the drive today was the first large-scale attempt to carry out President Nguyen Van Thieu's orders on June 19 to retake all territory captured by Hanoi's forces in the offensive that began March 30.

The North Vietnamese have elements of four divisions in Quang Tri, supported by tanks and long range 130mm guns that were a decisive factor in the capture of the province. They have repeatedly shelled the South Vietnamese defense line along the My Chanh River and have made a number of stabs at the line with tanks and infantrymen, but the South Vietnamese and their American air support have driven the Communists back and claimed to have inflicted heavy losses on them.

Fischer-Spassky stirs interest in nautics Board requires airlines to disclose stockholders with 5 per cent or greater in tercst. "Reports filed with the CAB by airlines state that, as of the end of last year, Chase Manhattan held 6.5 per cent of the stock in TWA, 9 per cent of the stock in Eastern, 8.4 per cent of the stock in National and 7.5 per cent of the stock in American," Mctcalf said.

But, he added, no Chase Manhattan holdings were listed by three other airlines, Northwest, United and Western. "Nevertheless, Chase Manhattan holds more than 6 per cent of the common stock in each of those three airlines, according to letters 1 received recently from those companies," he said. "The bank holds the stock through two or more nominees in each instance." The Securities and Exchange Commission says that generally an interest can exercise effective control of a corporation by holding as little as 10 per cent of the corporation's stock.
