Jets Using Chemical Bombs SAIGON (UPI) American planes for the first time in the Vietnam war are using a full range of non-nuclear bombs in an attempt to beat back the 106-day-old Communist offensive, military sources said Wednesday. Officers said that sophisticated bombs rarely if ever used in South Vietnam now are being dropped regularly on Communist-held portions of the country. The sources in effect confirmed a Viet Cong claim that American planes were dropping chemical bombs in Communistheld Quang Tri province, where South Vietnamese troops Wednesday said they knocked out 15 tanks and killed at least 300 North Vietnamese soldiers in their all-out drive to recapture S. Viet: 15 Red Tanks Destroyed SAIGON (UPI)-South namese troops killed 300 Communists and knocked out 15 North Vietnamese tanks in the first full day of fighting to recapture Quang Tri City, military spokesmen said today. The spokesmen said there was no progress by either side in heavy fighting around the city, the capital of South Vietnam's northernmost province that was captured by the Communists on May 1.

A South Vietnamese force moved on the city, from two directions, meeting heavy enemy resistance. The spokesmen said at least 36 government troops were killed and 86 others wounded in 11 separate battles. The U.S. command said today a U.S. jet fighter-bomber was shot down in a dogfight near Hanoi Tuesday.

In another delayed report, it said a U.S. Marine Corps A6 Intruder fighter-bomber was downed last Friday by Communist antiaircraft fire 33 miles southwest of Quang Tri City. The four (Continued on Page 6, Col. 5) THE PRESS DEMOCRAT The Redwood Empire's Leading Newspaper SANTA ROSA, CALIFORNIA The City Designed for Living WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, JULY 12, 1972 'Govern Seeks VP, Woos Unions MIAMI BEACH (UPI) George S. McGovern searched today for a running mate and a way to soften antagonism of organized labor toward him so his victory tonight for the Democratic presidential nominaction would not put him in command of a shattered party.

He was being urged to tap either Sen. Edward M. Kennedy or Rep. Wilbur Mills. But Kennedy, sitting out the convention at the family home at Hyannisport, declared he would not accept the second spot.

McGovern talked over a twohour breakfast in his seaside penthouse with a group of governors, most of them from southern and border states. And aides said he was continuing to try to make peace with AFLCIO President George Meany to restore labor's long-time place in the Democratic coalition. The breakfast meeting followed a record 11-hour convention session that put the on record in favor of busing and gun controls but with no stand on abortion or ual rights. After the breakfast with the governors of South Carolina, Georgia, Maryland, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Wisconsin, reporters were told nothing was decided as far as the No. 2 spot on the ticket was concerned.

Gov. Patrick Lucey of Wisconsin, a coordinator for McGovern, told reporters, however that there was a general consensus that Kennedy would be a great addition to the ticket. As the name of the Massachusetts senator -who has steadfastly said he would not be a candidate -was raised anew. he passed the word once again he was not interested. Kennedy will be watching the convention session on television beginning at 4 p.m.

PDT when McGovern's name, -and those six other candidates for the Labor Threat To Sit Out The Campaign MIAMI BEACH (UPI)-Top labor leaders today threatened to sit out a Nixon-McGovern presidential race even as they pressed seemingly futile effort to deny Sen. George McGovern the Democratic nom(ination. Their "Stop McGovern" paign a shambles, officials of the AFL-CIO talked wistfully of Sen. Henry M. Jackson.

But few had any real hope that he could wrest the prize from the front-runner. Aides to AFL-CIO president George Meany said no decision on labor's role in the Nov. 7 election would be made until after the convention. But they said it was likely the union federation would support neither President Nixon nor the Democratic challenger. I.

W. Abel, president of the United Steelworkers Union, said today he felt McGovern had no chance of winning the election. "One has to wonder if they (McGovern's supporters) aren't doing everything they can to deliberately lose," he said in a television interview citing the convention vote to deny Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley his seat. Even a McGovern choice of a labor leader as his running mate, Abel said, would have no real impact on labor's distaste for McGovern.

Union officials distributed a 23-page "white paper" condemning McGovern as a foe of the working man. The paper also criticized the South Dakota senator's civil rights voting record and his stands on SCPEO File Closure Charged The executive director and board chairman of Sonoma County People for Equal Opportunity (SCPEO) are charged with illegal acts by former board chairman Peter Martinez.

Mr. Martinez said that executive director Eddie May Sloan completely ignored OE0 rules and the by-laws of SCPEO, claiming she was "protecting) the privacy of her and received full support of board chairman Ann Byrd.

The only gas used in the bombs, they said, are standard riot control agents -CS1, tear and nausea gas; and CS2, a powdered, more potent form of the gas. An official Air Force descripof the bombs involved, code named BLU52, says each contains 270 pounds of the gases, which have long been used by U.S. forces in South Vietnam. "After the bomb is released, the thin-skinned bomb case breaks open on impact with the ground, spreading its contents over a wide area," the description says. "CS1 will last for three to five days and CS2 will last for 30 to 45 days.

"Riot control agents are nonhazardous. Their effects are nausea, choking and copious weeping. Military sources maintained that "tear gas bombs and other special munitions now being used in South Vietnam are employed only in Communistcontrolled areas where it is believed there are few if any civilians."

OUR HOME TOWN M'Donald Mansion Study The Santa Rosa City Council yesterday approved a detailed analysis of the structural worth and potential of the McDonald Mansion. Last week, Mayor Clement R. Guggiana sought to quiet rumors the mansion was to be torn down for multiple housing. The city, he said then, had received no word, plans or other proposals for the property. Since then, the city has learned the firm.

Sutter Hill Development Corp. has been working with the University of California's real estate office on a proposal. Yesterday, Mayor Guggiana announced that Thomas 1 Tomasi, chairman of the city's Art Commission, has accepted Outburst Of Fires In County Sonoma County firefighters had a day's work done before dawn today. A large barn in Kenwood, a building in a Santa Rosa auto wrecking yard and a house burned. There was also a series of grass fires set by an arsonist-all the early morning hours.

The barn fire broke out at 1:20 a.m. on property owned by the family of Kenwood Fire Chief Ed Geib. The old two-story structure, located off Lawndale rd. and owned by Walter T. Rodman, was described as a "total loss" with damage estimated at 000.

It was also a loss to both professional and amateur photographers who had frequently used the picturesque, weathered building as a subject. Some had won awards for their work.

Also, the question of selling the westerly property in the state may be explored since it never has been used with the mansion grounds. Representatives at UC and Stanford are aware of the city's desire to study the grounds and possible municipal development.

MIAMI BEACH (UPI)-The possibility has become "stronger and stronger" that George C.

Wallace will again bolt the Democratic party and form a third party movement, an aide said today. Charles Snider, campaign director for the Alabama governor, said Wallace would decide in what direction to move "in the very near future" -once the convention was over. Wallace had said Monday he had no plan to make a thirdparty bid. But Snider made it clear that Wallace was angry that the convention had voted down Tuesday night the changes he wanted to make in the platform on busing and other matters. Wallace appealed for the revisions in a speech from his wheelchair before the convention.

While he did not say a third party candidacy was definite, Snider said, "the discussion we had this morning indicated this possibility was stronger and stronger." The convention, Snider said, has been "stacked from the start." Wallace's third-party presidential candidacy in 1968 was generally interpreted as having drawn votes from Hubert H. Humphrey, the Democrats' 1968 nominee. Snider said Wallace was "somewhat upset" at the way his views were rejected Tuesday night by the convention. Wallace got some scattered boos, some scattered cheers. In general, the convention listened to him politely.
