140 NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J., FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1972 McGover. Fury Wit Replace 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 rpt after his triumph appearances before a unity breakfast for the party's House and Senate 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 morn- ing 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. Hundreds of jubilant McGovern delegates rose time and time again, peering over the crowds of reporters, cameramen and boosters jammed in the well of Convention Hall, to applaud the party's victorious standard bearer. Reviewing the way his campaign swept aside 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 hands and added: "American politics will never be the same again." 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. The final rites took place far beyond the prime-television nighttime viewing hours the Democrats had sought even on the West Coast. When the convention's final gavel fell at 3:27 a.m., Democrats had ended a historic convention, marked by three days of attentiveness and friendship within the vast, brightly lit hall and a week of protests outside that never came close to the violent street confrontations of the tumultuous 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago.

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 around 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 third of four nights on which the convention stayed in session well into the predawn hours, the convention ratified McGovern's choice of Eagleton as the No. 2 man on the 1972 Democratic ticket.

Faced with what they feel are confiscatory property taxes, landlords would raise rents, Cahill explained. He adamantly opposes any program that would lead to raising tenants' rents. The six Democrats told Cahill that they see room for compromise. A special committee of the Democratic caucus, in fact, has been working to prepare a recommendation on a classification constitutional amendment that potentially See CAHILL, Page 2 It is generally believed that the governor has 15 of 39 Republican votes for the income tax. Democrats want 21 Republicans to vote favorably before they add any votes.

That 21st GOP vote would be the edge needed out of the 41 votes required for passage of the income tax. There is deep skepticism that the governor can round up six more GOP votes, but the Middlesex Democrats feel he could find them fairly readily if he accepts classification. And if Cahill does opt for classification, he could find at least five or six votes from Middlesex County, said Democratic delegation leader John J. Fay Jr. of Woodbridge.

al from rural and suburban counties who would swing just for that reason. Classification means that business unquestionably would be denied a windfall and that no business taxes would be shifted unfairly to homeowners, he explained. Cahill told the assemblymen that he has one principal objection to the classification plan proposed by Senate Minority Leader J. Edward Crabiel, D-Middlesex, the leading proponent of classification. Crabiel recommends two classes of property.

Homeowners would pay up to 40 cents per $100 on a statewide property tax, while all businesses, including residential landlords, would pay up to $2.40. 1 WILLIAM T. CAHILL By TED SERRILL Homo News Staff Writer EAST BRUNSWICK Emerging from a meeting with Middlesex County's Assembly delegation, Gov. William T. Cahill said yesterday that he will consider any compromise on property tax classification offered to him by Democrats in the lower house.

To Middlesex' six Democrats, acceptance by the governor of a classification compromise might well mean the salvation of Cahill's tax reform program. Many legislators and observers See Related Stories On Pages 10 and 11 are becoming convinced that-barring a last-minute "miracle" the income tax bill will be defeated by the Assembly on Monday, thereby killing tax reform. The hour-long meeting at the N.J. Turnpike Administration Building here did not appear to produce any more enthusiasm by the governor for classification. He told newsmen he was "not optimistic" as a result of the meeting, nor is he any more optimistic that his reform package will win approval in the legislature.

"It's still an uphill fight," Cahill declared. "Many legislators are torn between their responsibility to the state as a whole and their responsibility to their districts," he explained.

Supreme Court ruled today that college students should be allowed to vote where they attend school. In a unanimous decision, the state's highest court expanded a lower court ruling of last fall that permitted college students in Mercer County to vote in their college towns. The court said that the college students were "improperly discriminated against and were improperly denied the right to register to vote in the communities where their college residences were located." The suit was filed by students at Princeton University, Rider College in Lawrence and Trenton State College in Ew-ing. All three schools are in Mercer County. Officials from those municipalities had said they questioned students more closely than other citizens when they tried to register to vote, asked them detailed questions about residence and generally referred them to the Mercer County Board, of Elections which invariably denied them permission to register.

Superior Court Judge Frank J. Kingfield ruled last fall that students except those who affirmatively state they plan to return to their former residences should be allowed to vote in their colleg towns. He also declined to extend his ruling to students outside Mercer. The Supreme Court said that "New Jersey approved the 26th amendment lowering the voting age to 18 and it did so with Like Roosevelt Garner? Truman-Barkley?

That's what the delegates to the Democratic National Convention were thinking about last night after the vice presidential bomb had finally FREEHOLD (AP) -New Jersey Secretary of State Paul J. Sherwin and two others who allegedly tried to fix a state contract in return for payments to the Republican Finance Committee were to be arraigned today in Monmouth County Court.

None of the defendants planned to appear in court, but rather would make innocent pleas through their attorneys. Sherwin's attorney is Adrian Foley. The trio was indicted last month by a state grand jury in connection with an attempt to award a highway construction contract to Michael J. Manzo, 53, who is one of the defendants. The third defendant in the case is William C.

Loughran, 43, a Republican Party fund raiser from Sea Girt. The indictment alleged the three conspired to have bids on a resurfacing project for Route 49 thrown out so Manzo could have an opportunity to re-bid. The indictment also accused them of soliciting the misconduct in offices of state Transportation Commissioner John C. Kohl and former Commissioner of Highways Russell H. Mullen.

It also charged Sherwin and Loughran with receiving a $10,009 bribe from Manzo to be transmitted to the party and Manzo alone with paying the bribe. Foley had said at an earlier bail hearing that the charges against his client, who is close close friend of Gov. William T. Cahill, are without substance since Manzo never received the contract he is said to have bribed the others to get for him. The three men have also been indicted by a federal grand jury on extortion-con spiracy charges in connection with the same case.

They are to be arraigned on those charges Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Trenton. But he was being talked about last night not for what he was but for what he wasn't. For instance, he wasn't Ted Kennedy, who despite everything seemed to be really the top choice of most of these delegates for the number two spot and even the number one choice for many. There was little question that McGovern wanted Kennedy over anyone else as his running mate and it was plain he was disappointed that he couldn't smoke Kennedy out.

So Eagleton started as a second choice right away. What Eagleton also wasn't, however, is Wilbur Mills, the powerful Ways and Means Committee chairman from Arkansas, and that pleases the McGovern people. Mills' name had been frequently mentioned as a vice presidential candidate because of the feeling that his conservatism would have balanced the ticket. However, that same conservatism would have turned off many of those zealots of the liberal McGovern, who said they would have viewed the selection of Mills as a sellout. More than anything else, Eagleton also wasn't the big name, the big drawing card, the big solid plus that Democrats felt McGovern needed to mount a winning campaign against President Nixon this fall.

That factor caused the reaction from delegates last night to be almost universal. As they soifght to find words to See NO HOUSEHOLD, Page 4 killed, said Cahill. In a series of statewide meetings with Assembly delegations, the governor is attempting to persuade assemblymen to cast a vote for the welfare of the state and to take the broad view. "I tell them New Jersey is still in the United States," he said. Many people with whom he talks say they do not like spi-raling local property taxes and think the state should bear the cost of public education, continued Cahill, "but nobody seems to have a better alternative to what we are offering." His program includes an approximate 40 per cent reduction in property taxes.

The proposed income tax and a statewide property tax with a $1 per $100 assessed valuation ceiling would pay much of the cost of public schools. Middlesex' lone Republican Assemblyman, Peter P. Garibaldi, of was not immediately available for comment on the session, but the six Democrats came out of the meeting feeling slightly more encouraged. There is a slim chance that the Assembly Democrats can come up with a classification RHODES EDISON A 72-year-old woman was rushed to John F. Kennedy Community Hospital yesterday afternoon after a policeman found her bound and gagged in a bedroom closet.

Her home was completely ransacked, according to police. Miss Irene DeSoto, of 281 Fleet was "barely, breathing," according to Detective Charles Peterson, who removed her bonds. Although she was fully clothed, she was tied and gagged with her own panty hose, police said. Peterson found the woman after police received a call from two unidentified women who had gone to the house around 2:30 p.m. for a weekly religious meeting.

The women reportedly discovered a pool of blood in the front room and telephoned for an ambulance and police. A hospital spokesman reported Miss DeSoto's condition was "poor." Peterson said she suffered head injuries and was bleeding when he discovered her. Hospital spokesmen said she was suffering from multiple bruises and fractures. She was taken to the hospital by township Rescue Squad No. 2.

According to Acting Chief William Fisher, there are no leads in the case. Late yesterday afternoon, detectives were canvassing the neighborhood for clues. Capt. Raymond Milcsik is in charge of the investigation. However, two suspects, who were seen at the house, are being sought.

Police are uncertain how long the victim was in the closet. However, detectives reportedly found a diary in which an entry was made for July 12. There was no time for the entry, they said. Fisher indicated it was too early in the investigation to determine a motive for the assault. Miss DeSoto lived alone.

been dropped on them. What does it mean to the ticket? How much can Tom Eagleton help George McGovern? Last night only the insiders knew for sure. Because not many delegates and alternates, nor for that matter not that many people outside the great state of Missouri, had ever heard of Sen. Thomas Francis Eagleton. His credentials are considered attractive, or be it modest freshman senator, a young 42, handsome, good speaker, a Catholic, a liberal like McGovern, a "comer," and like that.

ICicilS Reject iscner mm Today's Home News must permit millions of Americans to share this experience with you in their homes, for the benefit of chess and for the benefit of the rest of the world," Stein's letter said. Fischer ignored the appeal. Ten minutes before the match was to begin, Fred Cramer, a U.S. Chess Federation official, called the match organizers to say Fischer wasn't coming. Spassky entered the hall on time and took his place at the table.

At game time, Schmid started Fischer's clock as the rules required. Spassky looked perplexed. At the end of an hour, Schmid announced to an angry crowd: "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Fischer did not appear in the playing hall. According to Rule No.

5, if a player is more than one hour late he loses the game by forfeit." During the hour there were telephone' See FISCHER, Page 2 The future of the match, said chief referee Lothar Schmid, now depends on whether Fischer persists in his walkout. Schmid said the International Chess Federation could intervene and disqualify the American challenger, allowing Russia to keep the world title it has held for 24 years. But at the end of the day, Schmid said there would be a game on Sunday as scheduled. The row over the cameras began early yesterday when Fischer said he couldn't play alongside them in the Sports Palace. Fox, whose purchase of television and film rights for the match allowed the Icelandic Chess Federation to offer a record $125,000 in prize money, said the cameras had to stay.

In an attempt at compromise, Fox's lawyer, Richard Stein, sent Fischer a letter at 5 a.m. appealing to him to at least talk about the problem. "As a folk hero of the Americans, you Jivo Nei, one of Spassky's assistants, said Fischer's failure to appear was "a grave insult not only to the Soviet people but to the whole world." "The world champion," he added, "cannot dance to Fischer's tune." Fischer knew before he came to Iceland to play for the world title that the match would be filmed. And Chester Fox, the promoter who owns the three cameras, said they were out of Fischer's sight and hearing. "He said just knowing they were there bothered him," "Fox said, adding later: "I pity the poor guy." All attempts to get Fischer to the chess table where he lost the first game to Spassky on Wednesday proved futile.

The temperamental American chess whizz even turned down an appeal based on his responsibilities as a "folk hero of the Americans." REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) An appeals committee rejected today Bobby Fischer's protest against his loss of Thursday's world championship chess game by forfeit. The four-man committee supported the decision of chief referee Lothar Schmid to award the game to Boris Spassky because Fischer failed to appear. The decision left Fischer two games down in a 24-game match where Fischer needs the equivalent of 12 victories and a draw to take Spassky's title. The basis of Fischer's appeal was that the playing conditions in the Sports Palace were unacceptable because of the cameras, which he said disturbed him. His balk for the second in a 24-game schedule left the score 2 to 0 in the Russian's favor.

This gave Spassky a powerful psychological advantage over Fischer, who has never beaten the champion.
