(AP) The FBI said today two armed hijackers have agreed to give up three hos-taged stewardesses and their ransom money in exchange for a private plane with an agent-pilot.

The deal was the first break in a stalemate which began when the hijackers landed at a small airstrip here aboard a plane hijacked at Philadelphia Wednesday night. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Two airline hijackers armed with sawed-off shotguns flew in a National Airlines 727 iet from Philadelphia to a small airport In Texas today with $600,000 ransom and four stewardess hostages, the Federal Aviation Administration said. The plane landed at Brazoria County Airport, about 50 miles south of Houston, the agency said. Police radio reports said officers there shot out the aircraft's tires. In another hijacking, an armed man who collected ransom abandoned an apparent plan to try to escape by parachute and surrendered meekly to a stewardess.

His pistol had no bullets, but officers did not know that until the hijacking of the Dallas-bound American Airlines jet was all over. Both planes were commandeered Wednesday night. Taken to Hospital After the National Airlines plane landed at the Texas field, its stairs were lowered and the flight engineer, who had been pistol-whipped, either was thrown out or escaped, the FAA said. He was taken to a local hospital. The hijackers remained aboard the three-jet 727 with the pilot and four stewardesses.

The two hijackers of the National plane out of Philadelphia released 111 passengers who endured nine hours of suffocat Home Town Boy on Way fo Presidency By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Corner Bar donated free beef. Housewives brought in sandwiches and coffee. The party- at the American Legion hall in tiny Avon, S. 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 reach its climax at the Democratic National Convention in Miami Beach, Fla.

"I'm a Republican and I brought sandwiches down tonight," said Cleo 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 000 to which McGovern moved when a young boy, the atmos phere was generally more se rene, 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. "I didn't realize his organization was strong enough to put the big boys down." 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 moved to near mam street, and is the main tourist attraction of the town.

"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-Hudson, N.Y. "We saw the party signs for tonight and had to come." Chester Fees, a Republican candidate for Bon Homme County commissioner, was at tne 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." Most of the people sat on folding chairs and clapped and cheered as the various states announced their votes. In Mitchell, some of the citizenry reflected on their past association with McGovern.

"George probably doesn't remember this, but I gave him a ride to his first Democratic political rally after he took over the party in 1954," said Dr. Robert McCardle, superintendent of Mitchell schools. McCardle was a basketball and football coach at Dakota Wesleyan University when McGovern was a political sci ence professor at the small school in the early 1950s. McCardle said he rememberd well when McGovern quit teaching in 1954 to become ex ecutive secretary of the state Democratic party. "It took a lot of guts," McCardle said.

Weather Service Is 'Target7 Somebody annarentlv tried tn fool Mother Nature. Although the Manitowoc Two nivers area was spared storm damage, blustery thunderstorms which spread intn the southeastern part of the state late Wednesday night caused considerable damage to other locales.

The station, which features continuous weather reports, was off the air for a brief period. Fire officials In suburban Wauwatosa said lightning was the apparent cause of a fire which caused an estimated $10,000 damage to a home there.

Illinois Votes on Nomination Hit Magic Mark Running Mate List Expands; Seeks Counsel MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) -Sen. George McGovern, climaxing his dramatic rise from political obscurity by winning the first-ballot nomination of a divided Democratic party, was considering a broadening list of vice-presidential possibilities today after Sen.

Edward M. Kennedy rejected his bid. Soon after the votes of Illinois sent McGovern's total soaring past the magic 1,509 mark in the jammed, brightly lit convention hall, and even before the official result had been an-n Kennedy phoned McGovern from Hyannis Port, to offer congratulations. During their 15-minute talk, McGovern offered Kennedy the No. 2 spot for the race against President Nixon.

Kennedy rejected it "for very real personal reasons," according to McGovern spokesman Richard Dougherty. Askew Not Interested 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 mate before midday. One close adviser said he felt the list of those under consideration was expanding as the vic torious nominee sought the counsel of Sens.

Ribicoff of Connecticut, Philip A. Hart of Michigan, Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, and Walter F. Mondale of Min nesota: two governors, Ohio's John J. Gilligan and Wiscon sin's Patrick Lucev. and labor leader Leonard Woodcock.

Promise Support Within minutes after clinch ing the nomination, McGovern received congratulations and promise of support from all the candidates he had conauered. except Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace. But labor leaders in particular remained bitterly opposed to the senator, as did many delegates.

One sign in the hall read: "McGovern Will Bomb in November." 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 as supporters celebrated the victory of the man whose youthful legions had humbled the party's mighty. Forty-five minutes later, when Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien announced the final te-tals, the hall again went wild.

By ARTHUR L. SRB Associated Press Writer MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) -Wisconsin Gov. Patrick J. Lu-cey, vigorously shaking hands with almost any one in his vicinity, could have been back on the campaign trail.

He wasn't but he wanted to be as the Democratic candidate for vice president of the United States. The vice-presidential boomlet by Lucey, a long-time friend of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, increased speculation that Kennedy would decline an opportunity to run on the ticket headed by ben. George McGovern.

"Pat and I are 99 per cent certain that Ted will not run," an aide to the governor said following a caucus of the Wis consin delegation Wednesday. Family Friend Lucey, wearing a blue blazer. striped slacks and white shoes. showed up at Miami Beach Convention Hall Wednesday night with his wife Jean and an old family friend, former ambassador John Gronouski, ea gerly talking with well-wishers among the convention-goers. The governor told newsmen he was "still hopeful" Kennedy would accept the number two spot on a McGovern ticket but that he was not optimistic.

A McGovern aide said early today that Kennedy had rejected the South Dakotan's offer to run as a candidate for vice president on the Democratic ticket in November. Active Since 1940s Lucey, an adviser in the campaigns of President John F. Kennedy in 1960 and Sen. Robert Kennedy in 1968, said he hadn't been in contact with Ted Kennedy recently and the discussion between McGovern and the Massachusetts senator were "probably on a one-on-one basis now." all the shennanigans with the heat the way it was."

Many Issues 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 nego tiating positions. Washington has alwavs pre ferred 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 davs later the United States suspended the semipubhc talks indefinitely, and the U.S. delegation chief. William J.

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 Bmh, 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. No Surprise The apparent lack of change was no great surprise. Any progress toward agreement is expected to come in secret sessions.

Municipal officials in cities like Manitowoc have the task of familiarizing voters with new terminology contained in the 1971 reapportionment law. Substitute Words Miss June Fetzer, city clerk, said that the word "ward" has been substituted for "precinct" and "aldermanic district" has been substituted for "ward." All nomination papers, elec tion notices and ballots will have the new terminology, ac cording to Miss Fetzer. In the City of Manitowoc there are now 12 aldermanic districts rather than wards.

S.D. For George Stanley McGovern, the roaa to me Democratic presidential nomination began In 1953 when he reached a crucial crossroads in his life. He was teaching history and government at Dakota Wes- Jeyan University here, but had a strong inclination to follow his father into the Methodist min istry. He felt the time for decision was near at hand. Coincidentally.

the South Da kota Democratic Party was in the doldrums it had to grow or fold. There were only two Democrats among the 110 members of the state legisla ture.
