Kennedy rejected it "for very real personal reasons," according to McGovern spokesman Richard Dougherty. Earlier in the evening, Florida Gov. Reubin Askew, another prime prospect, told McGovern through aides he didn't want to be considered. McGovern aides said the nominee would make no announcement about a running-mate before midday. One close adviser said he felt the list of those under consideration was expanding as the victorious nominee sought the counsel of Sens.

Earlier in the evening, as the Democratic National Convention proceeded through its rites of nomination, McGovern left his penthouse suite at a hotel up the beach to tell antiwar demonstrators he stood by his pledge for total U.S. withdrawal from Indochina. "I'm not shifting my position on any of the fundamental stands I've taken," said McGovern, ringed by security agents as he faced the noisy, shoving demonstrators who had occupied the lobby six hours earlier.

After two straight all-night sessions, the climactic round of nominating speeches proceeded swiftly, with little semblance of the old-time hoopla and floor demonstrations. At last the roll call was reached and, as the clock struck midnight, McGovern's nomination was assured. Bedlam burst through the vast hall, where six weeks hence Republicans will formally name President Nixon to carry their standard against McGovern. Blue McGovern placards waved through the hall as sup- Continued on Page 2) MIAMI BEACH, Fla. AP) Sen.

George McGovern, winner of the Democratic presidential nomination, huddled today with a score of advisers oyer a list of possible runningmates. The South Dakota senator, whose rise from political obscurity climaxed with a first- ballot victory Wednesday night, also summoned as many governors as he could muster to bolster a show of unity at the windup session of the national convention. Frank Mankiewicz, national political director for McGovern, said he expected the choice of a vice-presidential candidate to be made shortly. But an hour after Mankiewicz talked with newsmen surrounding McGovern's headquarters there was no word on who would take the spot spumed earlier "for very real personal reasons" by Sen. Edward M.

Kennedy of Massachusetts. The roster of names was compiled during a two-hour meeting by McGovern aides. No one outside the McGovern camp attended. Similarly, only McGovern staffers 21 in all sat down with the senator in his 17th-floor hotel suite to go over the triumph. Those mentioned include five senators Thomas F.

Eagleton.of Missouri, Abraham A. Ribicoff of Connecticut, Philip A. Hart of Michigan, Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, and Walter F. Mondale of Minnesota; two governors, Ohio's John J. Gilligan and Wisconsin's Patrick Lucey, and labor leader Leonard Woodcock.

Midway through the evening, top McGovern aides were asked to submit lists of four possibilities. One aide, Rick Stearns, said McGovern had narrowed possibilities to four, including Kennedy and Woodcock. Other aides said a larger number remained under consideration. Within minutes after clinching the nomination, McGovern received congratulations and promise of support from all the candidates he had conquered, except Alabama Gov. George C.

Wallace. But labor leaders in particular remained bitterly opposed to the senator, as did many delegates.

Two injured crewmen, one shot and the other badly beaten, left the jet as it was surrounded by authorities. The hijacking of the National Airlines 727 jet was one of two that began Wednesday night. The other hijacking was against American Airlines for a ransom of $550,000 but the 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 Federal Aviation Administration said. The pilot and flight engineer were taken to a local hospital, the latter with a gunshot wound in his side. It was not known immediately how he was (Continued On' Page 4C) PARIS (AP) The Vietnam peace talks resumed today after 10 weeks but the positions of both sides appeared unchanged.

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. Politburo member Le Due Tho is due back from Hanoi in the next few days, and this could mean more behind-the-scenes sessions with presidential adviser Henry A. Kissinger or other U.S.

officials. Porter told the Communists that he felt it possible to find a 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 Gcrmanys 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.

Tho was in Peking Wednesday and held a "very friendly and cordial" conversation with Premier Chou En-Lai, Radio Peking reported. The long series of secret talks between Kissinger and Tho have covered a broad range of issues but have not produced any significant change in the conflicting negotiating positions. Washington has always preferred private talks, contending that the Communists used the weekly semipublic sessions only as propaganda platforms. But North Vietnam in the past has refused to participate in secret talks unless the regular weekly sessions were also being held. Kissinger and Tho last met May 2.

Two days later the United States suspended the semipublic talks indefinitely, and the U.S. delegation chief, William J. Porter, told the Communists "we will resume whenever you indicate you (Continued on Page 5) Dinner Call At The Jones Home All 250 residents of Yorkville are within earshot of this big brass bell which Congressman Ed Jones uses to call friends to one of the tasty and filling home-cooked meals prepared by his wife. The bell came from a steam engine retired by the Illinois Central Railroad. (So Phot by Larry Atherton) YORKVILLE There's not much danger that Congressman Ed Jones will ever succumb to the common political malady known as "Potomac Fever." Jones is quite satisfied with representing the people of, his West Tennessee district and still prefers the serene life in rural Gibson County to the cocktail circuit in Washington.

Last year, he averaged a trip a week back home to make certain of the pulse of his constituents. All of his 60 years, Jones has called Yorkville his home. He and his wife, the former Llewellyn Wyatt, live in the same home where she was born and just a good stone's throw from his birthplace. The Jones home is an 11-room, two-story frame structure built in 1908 by Dr. F.

E. Wyatt, a country doctor and father of Mrs. Jones. The Wyatts, likes the Joneses, were pioneer Gibson County famines. After graduating from the University of Tennessee with a degree in dairy husbandry, Jones put together a herd of registered jerseys and operated a successful dairy farm on the home place.

He introduced artificial breeding practices to this section of the country and was widely known for the Yorkville Jersey Cattle Show held for 37 years on a woods lot next to his home. Jones worked for the Tennessee Department of Agriculture as an inspector in the Division of Insect and Plant Disease Control and spent a period with the Tennessee Dairy Products Association. From 1944 until his election to Congress in 1969, except for a four-year leave of absence to serve as State Commissioner of Agriculture, he was the agricultural agent for the Illinois Central Railroad. Progressive Farmer Magazine gave him its Man of the Year Award in 1951 and he was named the Man of the Year in Agriculture for 1957 by the Memphis Agricultural Club. For many years, he was the associate farm director of radio station WMC in Memphis.

Just Plain Folks Spending an afternoon with the Jones family is just about as pleasant an assignment as a newsman can draw. Mrs. Jones had a home grown lunch of country ham, butter beans, corn on the cob, tomatoes and peach cobbler ready for the table Wednesday when this reporter and Sun photographer Larry Atherton arrived 15 minutes late because we missed the Yorkville turnoff. She does her own cooking at home and freezes vegetables from her. bountiful garden to take to their small Washington apartment just a few blocks away from the House Office Building.

"I guess I'm the only congressman's wife who brings her own food to Washington," Mrs. Jones told us. The Jones live alone now. Their oldest daughter, Mary Llew, is married to Air Force Capt. Robert S.

McGuire, and they recently returned to the States from a tour of duty in Germany. The second daughter, Jennifer, received her medical degree last month from the University of Tennessee and is an intern at John Gaston Hospital in Memphis. Both the girls were valedictorians at Yorkville High, and Mary Llew has a master's degree from Southern Illinois Universitv in addition to her degree from the Memphis Academy of Arts. "We gave them air the education they wanted and a good name," the congressman said. with pride.

"From there on it's up to them." One of the highlights of his career as a congressman, Jones continued, was the privilege of delivering the commencement address a few weeks ago when Jennifer received her M.D. at the UT Medical Units. There's a certificate of appreciation to "Mother and Daddy" on the wall in Jones' office to remind him of this occasion. Fourth Gibson Countian In Congress After waiting 72 years between congressmen, it is understandable that Gibson Countians take a special pride in Ed, Jones of Yorkville. His predecessors include frontiersman Davy Crockett, who served three terms before going to Texas and losing his life in the Battle of the Alamo; Robert Caldwell, a Trenton lawyer who served a single term in 1870, and James C.

McDearmon, another Trenton attorney who was congressman from 1893 to 1897. His fellow townsmen are so solidly behind Jones that the City of Yorkville made a campaign contribution of $150 from its treasury to help him in his first successful race in 1969. There's an "Elect Ed Jones" sticker on the front door of City Hall now. His neighbor, ex-wrestler and affluent dairyman Roy Welch, promoted a wrestling show in Yorkville that raised $972 for the 1969 campaign when Jones got 51 per cent of the vote against a Republican and an American Party candidate in the special election to fill the vacancy left by the death of Robert A. (Fats) Everett.

This year, some of the young men who have served as congressional pages by appointment of Jones are making campaign signs for the 1972 race in the shop at nearby Yorkville High. Almost apologizing for the slightest defection in his hometown support, Jones explained that he lost 11 votes at the Yorkville box In his first contested race "because I've always been a little ag- iii At A Glance Petulant Fischer Forfeits Second Game To Spassky TEMPERATURES Yesterday (3 FT.

Fischer boycotted the game because he objected to the presence of movie cameras in the hall. The forfeit gave Spassky, who beat Fischer on Wednesday, a 2-0 lead in the scheduled 24-game series. It was uncertain whether the match would survive.

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. Lothar Schmid, the chief referee, said Spassky would have to sit at the chess table by himself for one hour. Then the game would be forfeited by Fischer. At what point Fischer would be disqualified from the championship series would have to be decided by the International Chess Federation FIDE, Schmid said.

Fischer was scheduled to meet the world champion from the Soviet Union later today at 1 p.m. EDT for the second game of their 24-game match. The American challenger lost the first game Wednesday night. Fischer staged a 30-minute walkout shortly after the play began Wednesday, complaining that a movie camera 150 feet away was making him nervous. The camera was hardly visible in the dimness outside the lighted players' circle, and it could not be heard by Fischer, but aides said the knowledge of its presence unnerved Chief referee Lothar Schmid of West Germany, who makes the decisions on all contested points in connection with the match, told Fischer during his walkout there was nothing he could do about the camera.

Film and television rights for the match have been sold to an American promoter, and Fischer and Spassky are to get a share of the proceeds, estimated at a minimum of $27,500 each. "It's up to Lothar Schmid whether Bobby plays," one of Fischer's advisers said today, Contacted at his hotel, Schmid said: "There will be a match tonight.
