Hicks) Complexion of jury assailed by defense in Ellsberg case By LINDA DEUTSCH Associated Press Writer LOS ANGELES (AP)-A dismayed defense team in the Pentagon Papers trial says that unless a current potential jury of mostly military-oriented persons is ousted, Daniel Ellsberg and Anthony Russo will receive "a court martial, not a civilian trial." Ellsberg's chief attorney, Leonard Boudin, said he was preparing urgent motions for presentation today asking that the entire first jury numbering dismissed and a new lot drawn. Boudin said he'll also press for attorneys, not the judge, question point tfie defense has vehemently contested since U.S.

District Court Judge Matt Byrne decided to ask all questions himself. Boudin, a veteran defender of political activists including the "Harrisburg Seven," said he was also considering a late filing for a change of venue, asserting he was unaware Southern California had so many defense related industries which employ potential jurors. The defense complaints came after an initial round of juror challenges, when the judge called for 16 more'panelists for questioning, the group turned out to. be almost all government-relayed employes. Two have already indicated that bias might prevent them from serving; two more excused themselves for prejudice and were replaced by others.

Ellsberg, 41, and Russo, 35, both former Rand Corp. em- ployes who worked on secret government projects, are charged with espionage, conspiracy and theft in connection with the leak of the top secret Pentagon Papers. The documents eetailed origins of U.S. involvement in the Vetnam WAr. BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) Gun battles, raged in the Roman Catholic districts of early today as the British army adandoned its "low profile" and launched a major offensive against guerrillas of the Irish Republican Army.

Shooting erupted in all of Belfast's major Catholic strong: holds after three battalions of troops invaded the IRA "no go" district of Andersonstown to quell gunmen who had poured intensive fire at an army command post for four days. It was the first time the army had entered one of the districts taken over by the IRA. In the past such areas have been off limits to prevent a confrontation with the guerrillas holding sway there. Protestant militants have been demanding for months that the army go into the no go areas and clean out the IRA. The invasion of Andersonstown will probably intensify the Protestants' demands that the army now go into the barricaded areas of Londonderry that are the most famous symbols of Catholic defiance, the Bogside and Greggan districts, or "Free Derry," as the IRA calls them.

Army headquarters said about 700 men remained in control of Andersonstown early today but said it did not know Jhow long they would stay there. Two British troops and three civilians were known killed in the fighting during the night, raising the death toll to at least 15 since Wednesday and to at least 431 in the three years of communal violence in Northern Ireland. The invasion of Andersons- town was ordered by Britain's administrator for Northern Ireland, William Whitelaw, Army headquarters said. It marked a reversal, at least temporarily, of Whitelaw's policy of reducing military activity in an effort to wean away the grassroots Catholic support of the IRA. The retaliation began shortly before midnight.

A sandbagged Army fortification on Lenadoon Avenue had been under heavy IRA attack with guns and bombs for five hours. At one stage a rocket was fired at the post but the missile missed and hit a neighboring house. About 30 soldiers inside held out until some 1,800 men moved up in armored personnel carriers. A soldier was killed and another wounded as the troops occupied the district, but otherwise the task force met little resistance. The army said the IRA was taken by surprise.

By CARL P. LEUBSDORF AP Political Writer MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) Democratic presidential nominee George McGovern, vowing to lead a people's campaign, urged wildly cheering Democrats today to put behind "our fury and our frustrations" and unite to capture the White House from President Nixon. And the South Dakota senator appealed for help "from every Democrat and every Republican and independent who wants America to be the great and good land it can be." It was nearly 3 a.m. when the beaming McGovern, introduced by Sen.

EDWARD M. Kennedy and joined by vice presidential nominee Thomas F. Eagleton and defeated presidential rivals, stepped to the rostrum of a tumultuous, jammed Convention Hall to accept his party's nomination. The victorious nominee had only a few hours to rest up after his triumph appearances before a unity breakfast for the party's House and Sente Campaign committees and a Democratic fund-raising group were scheduled before he returned to Washington later today. McGovern also had to decide on a new chairman for the Democratic National Committee, which holds a morning organizational meeting.

While he has pressed Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien to stay on, informed sources said he would ask Jean Westwood, the Utah national committeewoman, to take the job if O'Brien declines. In the final moments of the convention that his supporters dominated all week, the triumph belonged to the onetime college professor from South Dakota. Waves of applause rocked the hall as Hubert H. Humphrey, Edmund S.

Muskie, Henry M. Jackson, Shirley Chisholm and Terry Sanford lifted high the hands of the 49-year-old nominee and his 42-year-old running mate from Missouri. Reviewing the way his campaign swept aside the established political leadership, McGovern said he would dedicate his White House campaign to the people, declared that next January he would restore government to their handstand added: "American politics will never be the same again." With some labor leaders still determined to sit out the campaign and other delegates grumbling about the ways in which his operatives dominated the convention, McGovern forecast the battle against Richard Nixon would bring the party "together in common cause" this fall. "He is the unwitting unifier and the fundamental issue of this national campaign," McGovern said, adding that "all of us together are going to help him redeem a pledge he made 10 years ago: that next year you won't have Richard Nixon to kick any more." Even delegates who supported the absent Gov. George C.

Wallace joined the ovation when McGovern vowed to wage a national campaign and said, "We are not conceding a single state to Richard Nixon." Earlier in the long evening' the convention ratified McGovern's choice of Eagleton as the No. 2 man on the 1972 Democratic ticket. But it took a one-hour, 20- minute roll call that saw votes cast for candidates ranging from television commentator Roger Mudd, to TV character Archie Bunker, to the senator's wife, Eleanor. Even Martha Mitchell, the wife of former GOP campaign manager John N. Mitchell, got a vote.

McGovern chose the handsome, articulate, first-term Missouri senator, a border-state Catholic with strong ties to labor, from a field of a half-dozen senators, governors and mayors. He was the senator's second choice: Kennedy rejected an offer of the vice presidency shortly after McGovern swept to first-ballot nomination Wednesday night. When the convention's final gavel fell at 3:27 a.m., the Democrats had ended a historic convention. With reform rules that produced massive increases in the numbers of women, black and young delegates, it ratified a transition in party power from the big-city chieftains and leaders of labor, dominant for 40 years, to the forces of what Kennedy termed "a new wind rising over he land." Starting an hour late, the convention's final session fell steadily further behind as the delegates ratified an overhaul of the party's national committee in one lengthy roll-call vote, then fell into another over the vice presidency after seven Arthur Taylor, financial wizard, is appointed president of CBS By MALCOLM CARTER Associated Press Writer NEW YORK (AP) Economist Arthur R. Taylor who has dazzled Wall Street with his tradition-shattering successes, collected another triumph this week.

Taylor, a 37-year-old financial' wizard, was named president of Columbia Broadcasting System Inc. to succeed Charles T. Ireland who died in June after eight months in the job. Without ever having taken a business or finance course, Taylor on July 31 will become responsible for CBS's billion dollar sports, musical instrument, recording, film and, of course, broadcasting enterprise. "I took the job because I'm fascinated with the field," said Taylor in his office at the International Paper Co.

"I think a free, strong communication system is an absolute necessity to the function of society," he said. "I think it's right at the heart of society, and I want to be part of it." Kathryn Pelgrift, an International Paper assistant treasurer whom Taylor drafted from his previous employer, First Boston described him as "very mindful" of economic history but "certainly not tied to standard approaches." The company's treasurer, Sheldon M. Woods, said his Taylor was a "superb listener" with a "powerful intellect and a great ability to go to the heart of issues." Pressed to define the abilities that have led to his success, Streets of Miami City quiet as everybody gave a little Fischer walks out again By WALTER STOVALL Associated Press Writer NEW YORK (AP) So Bobby Fischer has walked out on another chess match. So what else is new? Any ideas that the mercurial wizard of the checkered board had mellowed or outgrown his sulking stubbornness were dashed Thursday when he failed to show up for his game against world champion Boris Spassky in Reykjavik, Iceland. Long before the current imbroglio, Fischer, 28, was internationally famous as much for his moody obstinancy as for his chess genius.

Ask Fidel Castro. In 1955, when the U.S. State Department denied Fischer a visa to play in a Cuban tournament, Castro arranged a New York-Havana teletype hookup so the teenage marvel could take part. Castro then claimed "a propagandistic victory." Fischer promptly cabled his withdrawal unless the Cuban premier guaranteed that his government would "seek and claim no political benefit" from Fischer's participation. Castro reluctantly agreed, and Fischer reentered and tied for second.

A few years earlier, when he was a teen-ager, Fischer, already a grandmaster, walked out on Sammy Reshevsky, himself a grandmaster, during an exhibition tour in a dispute over times. In doing so, he gave up a share in an $8,000 purse. Since then, he has played Reshevsky and even shaken hands with him. He has also snown an immense interest in making money, and many chess people credit this desire as the cause of his current intractability. By TERRY RYAN Associated Press Writer MIAMI BEACH, Fla.

(AP) No one wanted another Chicago. It's almost as simple as that. So everyone gave a protesters, the police, the city, the party and its the streets were quiet during the Democratic National Convention. Convinced that violence would damage their individual causes, these diverse forces worked together this week to produce peaceful protests far different from the turbulence that swept the streets of Chicago when the Democrats convened there four years ago. The box score tells the story: Chicago: 680 arrested, 1,381 injured.

Miami Beach: 1 arrested, 4 injured. The memories of Chicago in 1968, of riot sticks and blood and tear gas, were replaced this week by a motorcycle cop leading a protest march to Convention Hall with an antiwar button pinned to his chest. By the "Jesus Freaks" and ice cream vendors wandering through the crowd just after a small section of the fence around the hall was torn down, the destructive highpoint of the week. By the jam in front ot Convention Hall when the Yip- pies and Zippies came from one direction, the Cuban anticommunists from another and the Gay activsts from yet another. Demonstration marshals linked rms to keep everyone apart.

There wae no violence, hardly a hint of des' tion. Disruptions, but not i turbances. Tense moments, but not confrontations. And in the one moment when things might have taken a different turn, George McGovern took a chance. Against the advice of the Secret Service, McGovern faced and pacified 300 chanting, shoving demonstrators in a hotel lobby just hours before he received the Democratic presidential nomination.

"I think the symbolism is more important than anything that happened," he said afterward. "We didn't want a repetition of Chicago in 1968." When it was all over and done, police were congratulating protesters, protesters were thanking police, and Mayor Chuck Hall and Police Chief Rocky Pomerance had emerged almost as heroes of the counterculture generation. City officials had prepared themselves for an influx of tens of thousands of so-called non- delegates, but at most only 3,000 gathered at any one time. Several months ago, Hall began meeting with leaders of the groups that planned demonstrations during the convention. He also led the fight that opened a city park for camping during the convention.

Pomerance organized the 800- man security force that surrounded Convention Hall, but at the same time instructed his men not to hassle people in the park about smoking marijuana or skinny dipping in the pool. "The police were just beautiful," said Fred Wanerstrand, a member of the Peoples Coalition for Peace and Justice. "There would have been a blood bath, our blood, if they wanted to do anything." For the demonstrators, the Democratic convention was just a warm up, a dress rehearsal for the Republican National Convention six weeks from now in Miami Beach. They had a good thing going with the police and the city, and trouble would only spoil it. "We showed the people of Miami Beach that we could conduct a nonviolent demonstration," said Zippie leader Dana Beal.

"They did not believe us before, but I think we proved something to them. We -got our message across without hurting anyone or trashing anything." After the section of Con- venton Hall fence was torn down on the first night, protest planners organized a group of marshals to keep people in line. When demonstrators marched to the hall the next night, a line of people from the Vietnam Veterans Against the War separated them from the fence. But perhaps more than anything else, it was the Democratic party that kept things quiet. Many people who were on the streets in Chicago were inside the convention this time.

The Democratic party had opened its ranks to an unprecedented number of young people, blacks and women and was seriously considering stands on abortion, drug laws and the Vietnam War not all that different from the proposals backed by the people in the streets. "There are times in history when revolutionaries must unite with the liberals," said antiwar activist Jerry Rubin. "This is one of those times." Taylor first demurred, then said that the answer lies in his unconventional approaches. "I am totally opposed to what I consider narrow financial thinking," he said, adding that business managers had to have an overview of operations. Financial management, he continued, is "a wonderful place to begin, wonderful training and a wonderful discipline." He said managers have a threefold function: To have a view of the future; to act as a check and balance on subordinates and on the decision-making process, and to support his colleagues in an organization unflinchingly.

Taylor was a magna cum laude renaissance history graduate of Brown University in 1957. In 1961, he received an M.A. in American economic history and successfully applied for First Boston's training program. Would observe Northern Ireland BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) A U.S. congressman says he will urge the House Committee on Foreign Affairs to visit Northern Ireland and observe the troubled province at first hand.

"To do anything less," Rep. Lester L. Wolff, said Thursday, "would be dereliction of responsibility." Wolff said he will put forward the demand immediately on returning to the United States Friday. 9 He said the House committee was scheduled to visit Northern Ireland in June, but the trip was canceled less than a week before the planned departure date. Wolff arrived Wednesday after talks on the Northern Ireland crisis with politicians and officials in London and Dublin.

He toured Belfast trouble spots during Wednesday night's gun battles and looked at Long Kesh Internment Camp Thursday morning, under an assumed name. Wolff said his reading of the situation is that a crash economic program is needed, perhaps backed by American aid. rivals formally were nominated to oppose Eagleton. Amid the unprecedented splintering of ballots, it took until the next-to-last state, Texas, before the Missouri senator passed the 1,509 total that marked the needed majority. As votes were checked, the defeated candidates most prominent among them being Texas state Rep.

Frances T. Farenthold, Sen. Mike Gravel of Alaska, and former Massachusetts Gov. Endicott Peabody trooped to the rostrum and declared support for Eagleton. The roll call was never finished.

4 Then, after delegates sang "United We Stand, Divided We Fall" while waving their fingers aloft in the V-shaped peace symbol, Convention Vice Chairman Yvonne Braithwaite Burke, a black Californian, brought Eagleton to the platform. After acknowledging the cheers, he praised the delegates from Wallace's Alabama for their "gracious courtesy" in supporting the presidential nominee's right to choose a running mate, and vowed to carry "a new message of hope to the American people" in the campaign ahead. New missile introduced by Hanoi SAIGON (AP) Hanoi's introduction of a heat-seeking Soviet antiaircraft missile into the Vietnam war is generating considerable concern among U.S. and South Vietnamese commanders and has brought about some drastic changes in their fliers' tactics. The weapon is the SA7, or "Strela" a Soviet missile which the North Vietnamese fire from the shoulder like a bazooka.

It is much like the U.S. Redeye missile. The Strela is equipped with an infrared homing device that is attracted to the heat given off by an aircraft engine and carries a high-explosive warhead. It has proved very effective, especially against the comparatively slow helicopters and propeller planes, officers say. Some officers consider it the most effective of the several weapons used for the first time by the North Vietnamese in the current offensive the others include long-range artillery, medium tanjs and wire-guided missiles.
