The one man acceptable to both distrustful Democratic camps Edward M. Kennedy, surviving heir to a dynasty-said a final "no" early this nVorning in a congratulatory telephone call a few minutes after McGovern won a restless convention's call to leadership. The need for the party unity that most felt McGovern must now cultivate to make the nomination worth having gave support to speculation that he might turn to conservative Rep. Wilbur D. Mills of Arkansas as a vice presidential choice, despite his earlier vow to eschew a running-mate whose 3 the ews pletion of an impossible task to bitter "can't win" charges.

McGovern set about today choosing a running-mate acceptable to both the coalition of discontent which nominated him for the presidency and the angry old pros who think he can't win it. Vice presidential ambitions swelled in a dozen hearts while McGovern pondered his choice.

Whispers and rumors and speculation and clandestine campaigning were evident wherever Democrats gathered. But McCSavern kept to his rented penthouse and kept his own counsel. Some of his associates said he had narrowed the list of possibilities to OCUS Disaster Relief Plan SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (UPI) President Nixon has proposed a $1.7 billion program, calling it the richest disaster relief purse ever, to give $5,000 grants and loans at 1 per cent interest to victims of tropical storm Agnes.

"Conscience demands it; humanity impels it." Boyle Criticized WASHINGTON (UPI) For the first time that' anyone can remember, United Mine Workers W. A. "Tony" Boyle has been criticized in the union's official newspaper, the UMW Journal. An editorial in the July 1 issue accused Boyle of "lawlessness and betrayal" of UMW members, a letter to the editor accused him of lying to retired members, and there were articles about opposition candidates and "a return to a union leadership that is fair and honest."

In a living room crowded with kinfolk and confidants, McGovern watched his nomination on television under the heat and glare of television lamps recording the moment.

After 18 months, starting from nowhere, the candidate of discontent had won. His eyes shone bright with emotion. He kissed his sisters and his nieces and shook hands with the men, then went back to writing on a yellow pad with a felt-tip pen the acceptance speech he will deliver tonight. But hostility remained from the old guard. On the convention floor, the die-hard supporters of Hubert H.

Humphrey and Edmund S. Muskie cast their votes for the token candidates or for Sen. Henry M. Jackson of Washington, a party warhorse, rather than go with the obvious winner. Jackson and Alabama Gov.

About 800 workers are involved in the work stoppage caused by the dispute over which union shall do work on transmissions lines on the electric plant tract. William Hilsman, vice-president of Hoosier-Engineering offices at Dublin, today said he had "no comment on the work stoppage situation."

He issued the-warning after blunt attack on the U.S. air raids, which, he said, included a heavy raid Wednesday on a populous district of Haiphong and neighboring hydraulic works. Viet Cong negotiator Madame Nguyen Thi Binh charged the U.S.

Air Force was now using napalm and toxins in its raids on South Vietnam. (In Saigon, military sources said Wednesday U.S. planes were dropping chemical bombs in Communist-held Quang Tri Province. But they denied the bombs were either toxic or poisonous.) Wearing a traditional long-skirted dress, the stern-looking Viet Cong woman diplomat said, "All this does not show the United States desires to engage in serious negotiations." "We will see today if the United States has a genuine desire to end the war," she said. By GEORGE SIBERA PARIS (UPI) The Vietnamese Communists today rejected President Nixon's latest peace plan as an "unreasonable and absurd" ultimatum and said they will settle for nothing except acceptance of their own plan.

Other delegates came across after their votes were no longer needed, but many did not make the conciliatory switch, demonstrating that the wounds remained raw.

Mills, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, could reassure the old guard and the South. He shares few of McGovern's views, but his ties are strong to the party's disenchanted congressional wing. Without naming them, McGovern adviser Fred Dutton said 12 to 14 persons remained on McGovern's veep list. But freshman Sen. Thomas F.

Eagleton of Missouri said that the choice, with Kennedy's refusal, had narrowed down to three and that he was among them. He named the others as Sen. Abraham A.

Thieu administration and the American military presence, while depriving the South Vietnamese people of the legitimate right to self-defense," Madame Binh said. Earlier, the Saigon delegation bluntly told the Communist it will never accept their plans for South Vietnam's political future. Today's 150th session was the first since May 4 when Nixon broke off the talks because the Communists showed no willingness to negotiate in pubKc or in private. The United States agreed to return to the conference table today, the President announced June 29, because there were indications the Communists would adopt a more flexible attitude. South Vietnamese Ambassador Pham Dang Lam told Hanoi that Saigon would never accept imposition of a coalition government to replace President Nguyen Van Thieu.

The Communist delegations stand, coupled with a violent condemnation of U.S. air strikes in Vietnam, failed to move the conference off dead center as had been hoped in Washington. Taking an unusually harsh tone, Madame charged that President Nixon's eight-point plan proposed Jan. 25 and calling for new presidential elections in South Vietnam, was aimed merely at maintaining U.S.

control of the country. "The demand for an Immediate ceasefire to come before an accord on military and political questions on conditions put forward by Mr. Nixon on May 8 and June 29 is in fact nothing but an unreasonable and absurd ultimatum," she said. She said the ceasefire called for again today by U. S.
