AP)-Sen. Hubert Humphrey's withdrawal from the race for the Democratic presidential nomination appeared to have fragmented Ohio's delegate vote when the roll call game Wednesday night for the party's nominee. Frank King, chairman of the 153-member Ohio delegation, passed the first time the state was called on to vote. Then, as Sen. George McGovern's vote tally approached the mark, King gave the following report for Ohio Thirty-nine for Sen.

Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts and 77 for Sen. George McGovern of South Dakota. A short time later, the Illinois delegation gave McGovern more than enough votes to put him past the required 1,509 for SEN. GEORGE A MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) A sense of history which told him times were changing and a passion for organization which helped his youthful armies beat the Old Guard at its own game are the simple secrets of George McGovern's boom from oblivion to presidential nomination.

There is little revolutionary about it. It's a story of hard work converted into votes at the Democratic National Convention which gave him the party's nomination Wednesday night. If it seems miraculous that this could happen to a soft-voiced, Farm Belt senator whose name was recognized by only 5 per cent of the American public when he began his quest, there are some answers which make it more plausible. Tuesday." What about delegates' social life in Miami? "There are fewer social events than in previous years. I think it's better though.

Frankly, it offers us a chance to keep at the job we're here to do. In previous years, I found that you couldn't get to many of the social functions anyhow." Gilligan Returns McGOVERN Running Mate Race Open, Coleman Says COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)-Gov. John Gilligan planned to fly to Miami Beach today at the request of Democratic presidential nominee George McGovern's people to attend "unity type" meeting Friday. The governor's press aide, Robert Tenenbaum, said he understood similar invitations were being extended by McGovern to a number of Democratic governors, senators, mayors and state party chairmen. Asked if McGovern made an offer to Gilligan, whose name has come up as a possible vice presidential candidate, Tenenbaum said no, and then added, "they offered him a floor pass" to the Democratic National Convention.

Gilligan, who as a delegate candidate pledged to Sen. Edmund Muskie of Maine failed to win a seat in the Ohio delegation, probably would attend the convention tonight to -hear McGovern's acceptance speech.

George McGovern said after facing 300 noisy, pushing demonstrators just hours before winning the Democratic presidential nomination. McGovern attempted to reassure the crowd of antiwar and civil rights demonstrators in the lobby of his headquarters hotel: "I'm not changing my position on any of the fundamental stands I've taken." As McGovern spoke, more than 1,000 protestors gathered Continued on Page 2) First of all, he carried a supreme self-confidence which assumed from the'very start that he would win and led him and his staff to proceed even in the darkest days of the campaign as if he would.

-His organization became the envy of the political world for its thoroughness and efficiency. He recruited a staff which complemented all his best traits and shored up his weaknesses, and attracted untold thousands of devoted volunteers. He adopted a strategy which decided firmly a year and a half ago just what he had -to do and how he would do it. His grasp of the time and just the right issues to use seemed to put him there first and to leave little ground for BEN PETTUS undertake an assignment with Goodyear Canada.

"It's quite serious. He may not play at all," said a member of Fischer's entourage who asked riot to be identified. Fischer was scheduled to meet the world champion from the Soviet Union later today at 1 p.m. EDT for the second game of their 24-game match. The American challenger lost the first game Wednesday night noon," Fischer stood up, spoke animatedly to chief referee Lothar Schmid of West Germany and strode to a backstage dressing room.

the competition. McGovern got into the presidential game in 1968 when he picked up the fallen Robert F. Kennedy campaign and managed to get 146 votes at the Chicago convention. He came away convinced that if he had started sooner, he might have won it all. An immediate discouragement to any further presidential effort was the of a remaining Kennedy who was the logical heir to the Democrats' liberal wing.

McGovern ultimately decided to go no matter what Sen. Ed--ward M. Kennedy did, but Kennedy's pejrsonal tragedy at Chappaquiddick seemed to leave the field clear. In the meantime, McGovern had taken on a job which was to lay the groundwork for his Hijackings Continue Unchecked By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Two airline hijackers armed with sawed-off shotguns flew in a National Airlines 727 jet 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 offi-. cers did not know that until the hijacking of the Dallas-bound American Airlines jet was all over. Both planes were commandeered Wednesday night.

After the NatinaJ 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. (Continued on Page 2) direct to any place in the United States. "This means that people won't have to give their phone number to the operator before making a long distance telephone call," he explained. Schmid followed him, and Fischer said he wouldn't continue play unless a movie camera 150 feet from the board was shut off.

Schmid said he couldn't order the camera removed. Fischer stayed away for 30 minutes, then came back and resumed play. After Spassky's 56th move Fischer resigned. He reached over and stopped the clock after 63 minutes had elapsed, offered Spassky his hand, folded his scorecard and walked out He paused once to wave to the audience, which was applauding Spassky. When the play, resumed Wednesday, Spassky had his, king, a bishop that controlled the black diagonals and three pawns.

Fischer was down to his king and five pawns, two of them loose on the king's side. One of Spassky's pawns threatened a Fischer pawn. In his first move, Spassky captured that pawn. Fischer recaptured with his king and the game turned into an effort by Fischer to push his pawns a square at a time to the last rank under the escort of his -king. was to reform" the ancient methods by which Democrats nominated their presidential candidates and to assauge the anger of dissenters within the party.

McGovern was tapped for the job because the party leadership felt he was more moder- ate than such reformers as Sen. Harold Hughes of Iowa, the chief instigator of therestruc-' turing drive. McGovern's selection came chiefly on the preference of his long-time friend, titular party head Hubert H. Humphrey, George McGovern won the Democratic presidential nomination Wednesday night to climax an incredible campaign mat carried nun trom the back row of the Senate to the pinnacle of party power. Even before the Democratic National Convention had completed its roll call of the states, the senator from the prairies of South Dakota had captured the prize he sought in an 18-month quest he began as a lonely political outsider.

He needed 1,509 votes for nomination and JieJiad more than enough. Shortly before the convention began the nominating process, McGovern left his hotel penthouse and went down to the lobby to meet with several hundred angry demonstrators who had invaded the building, demanding to see the senator. He reassured them that he had not changed his position "on any of the fundamental stands I've taken." On-Vietnam, he said: "I don't have any doubt that within 90 days of my inauguration every American troop and every American soldier will be home and that's the pledge I make." The. demonstrators had expressed concern about reports that the South Dakota senator planned to leave a residual force in Southeast Asia. The noisy, milling protesters repeatedly interrupted each other and McGovern who pleaded with them to let questioners speak and him answer.

He pointed out that a new structure was required to house Adds If one Ohio delegate has his Democratic presidential nominee George McGovern will choose one of four vice presidential contenders as his ninning mate tonight. According to William Coleman, Marysville attorney and a convention delegate, there are a number of candidates who could be helpful to Ohio, Among the prominent, he said, are former North Carolina Governor Terry Governor Jimmy Carter of George Wisconsin, Governor Pat Lucey and auto Union Chief Leonard Woodcock- "Sanford and Carter-are highly respected southern governors and leaders and would certainly be acceptable to Ohio, I think. Woodcock, of course, would be good in regard to the labor vote in the state," Coleman explained. The former democratic state chairman repeated a comment he's made frequently concerning the prospect of Ted Kennedy running on the ticket with McGovern. "I don't think that Kenndy will be a vice presidential candidate.

I say that based on the conversations Irhk IT1', (e? It! it'-Si' i I Generator Co I've had here with a number of people and a talk I had with Sen. Kennedy in Columbus, June 3rd." According the Tuesday night session was the longest political convention meeting in recent history. "We certainly felt it when we finished Wednesday morning about 6:30, but we accomplished our purpose. The convention though has been different this year. There ace so many new people it makes it difficult to function in the sense that new delegatesand others associated with the many of them, young and inexperienced have to learn so much while we're trying to conduct business.

We've made changes but I think there must be more. They're necessary if we're to get the work done." Did George Wallace have an effect on the convention? "Yes, I'm sure he did. It was good that he was a part of the convention. It was good for the party and I think at the same time, it helped keep him in the party, too. His presence was certainly felt on a number of votes taken on the platform A $24,650 project has been completed by United Telephone Company of Ohio providing the Marysville exchange with a new emergency generator, according to Roy Harless, Marysville area manager.

He said the new. generator will provide emergency service to the Dayton Power and Light Co. "It is necessary to build a new generator because we had trouble with the old one during the storm last summer," he explained. The new generator in the Marysville office has three times the power output of the former unit, Harless continued. "This increase in power was made necessary by additions of equipment to the Marysville office and it is designed to provide adequate power for future expansion," he added.

He said he expected the generator would be able to sustain Marysville power needs for such things as air conditioning units and furnaces. "Emergency power is necessary in the event of failure of the regular electricity from storms or other emergencies in order that telephone service may still be maintained," he noted. He said the AC current from the generator will be used to keep the batteries of other generators charged, and added that when an emergency occurs, the DC current will be used. He said that telephones run on the DC current. Harless said the project is Phone i 'VrmLQ.

'TYl Fischer Seeks Victory "mm I By STEPHENS BROENING Associated Press Writer REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) "It will settle down," Bobby Fischer said Wednesday night after he lost the first game of the world chess championship to defending champion 'Boris Spassky. The second game is this afternoon, starting at 1 p.m. EDT. With a maximum of 23 more games to be played, Robert Byrne, the second-ranking U.S. grandmaster, said Fischer's loss "isn't necessarily all that significant Either of 4hese players can come back and win." A victory yields one point, a draw half a point, and after Wednesday's match Spassky needed 11 more points in the 24-game series to retain his title.

Fischer needs 12 points to end the 24-year Soviet monopo- ly of the title. Today he plays the white pieces, which gives him the first move and a slight advantage. The first game in the match began Tuesday, and Spassky adjourned it after 40 moves with Fischer in bad straits. I aw I i Roy Harless, Marysville area manager of the United Telephone Company of Ohio stands beside a new $24,650 emergency generator. It has three times the power output of the former generator and was installed in order to handle future emergencies and to provide for future growth in Marysville.

The generator is located behind the Marysville exchange office on Plum St. I i.
