Wallace Leaves Hospital SILVER SPRING, Md. (AP) George C. ended 54 days of hospitalization today with thanks to those who "saved my life" and sped toward resumption of his governorship in Alabama and his quest for the presidency in Miami Beach. "I feel good, I feel great," Wallace declared. The disabled governor was pushed in his wheelchair to a limousine amidst the applause of several score spectators for a motorcade to nearby Andrews Air Force Base and the flight south in an Air Force hospital plane.

But Wallace, wounded May 15 at a political rally in Laurel, first paused briefly to thank government and hospital officials and staff members for the care they accorded him. In an accompanying written statement at Holy Cross Hospital Wallace said "Sister Helen Marie, the doctors, sisters and staff of the hospital will always hold a very dear place in my heart. They saved my life, and I wish God's blessings to all of them." As he shook hands with hospital staffers and other well-wishers, and saluted toward news photographers, it almost seemed as if he were already back on the campaign trail for the Democratic presidential nomination. Those accompanying Wallace include his wife Cornelia and two daughters, Peggy Sue and Lee. Drs.

Joseph Schanno and Herman Maganzini, who have treated Wallace at Holy Cross, and Dr. George Traugh and Judy Gantry, rehabilitation specialists from the University of Alabama's Birmingham Medical Center, also are going. Billy Joe Camp, the governor's press secretary, said Wallace's Miami Beach hotel room has been furnished with physical-therapy equipment. Special ramps built to accommodate Wallace's wheelchair have been installed at the convention hall. He remains crippled from a spinal wound, but can walk the aid of braces and a walking bar.

Welcoming rallies were planned during his stop at a Montgomery airport and upon his arrival at Miami International Airport. Wallace's mother, who is recuperating from major surgery, will meet the plane in Montgomery for her first visit with Wallace since he was shot, aides said.

George McGovern a first-ballot presidential nomination rested today with the Supreme Court. The court must decide whether to convene a rare special session to consider an appellate-court decision which returned to McGovern 151 Califor- nia delegates he lost in a party Credentials Committee fight. Chief Justice Warren E. Burger Thursday suspended implementation of the lower-court decision while he attempted to poll the other eight vacationing justices to determine if there was sufficient support for a special session. Should Burger call the court into emergency session, the justices might be expected to hold a hearing and announce a deci- Young Pirate Gets $450,000: Surrenders OAKLAND, Calif.

(AP) A j'oung AWOL soldier seized a Pacific Southwest Airlines jetliner for 5450,000 ransom, which he said would be given to groups "involved in the Mideast and ordered the plane 1,000 miles up and down California before surrendering early today to his hostage, a law officer, authorities said. The air pirate who gave up after the jetliner landed at Oakland International Airport, was identified by the FBI as Francis Goodell, 21, of Manassas, AWOL two days from the Army. FBI agent-in- charge Robert Gebhardt said military cards were found on Goodell, including one from Ft. Eiley, Kan. The entire 8450,000 was recovered, the agent said.

The hiacker gave a note to the pilot which said the ransom money, obtained from PSA along' with one parachute, "would be given to two organizations involved in the Mideast crisis," a Federal Aviation Administration official said. The note continued: "Recent actions by the Air Line Pilots Association and secretary of transportation have caused consternation in our organization and we are forced to take prompt action." Some ALPA members last month took part in a one-day work stoppage to protest the recent wave of air piracy throughout the world and to demand better security measures. It was the second hijacking for PSA, an intrastate airline, in two days. On Wednesday FBI agents stormed aboard a PSA jetliner at San Francisco International Airport, killing two hijackers who had demanded $800,000 in ransom and escape to Siberia. A passenger was shot in killed by one of the hijackers, the FBI said, and two other passengers were wounded.

The Oakland air pirate gave up his guns to California Highway Patrol Capt. Lloyd T. Turner, who he held as a hostage on the flight. The hijacker had a pistol taken from the officer and a 7.65- caliber pistol of German make when arrested, the FBI said. "He (the hijacker) started to act rather nervous and pursuant to suggestions, with the captain and the pilot talking to him together and individually after 2 hours he finally surrendered his weapons and surrendered to the FBI," Gebhardt said.

Turner, a passenger on the Reserve Case Pretrial Set For July 18 DULUTH, Minn. (AP) A pretrial hearing in the federal government's case against Reserve Mining Silver Bay, has been scheduled for July 18 in U.S. District Court, Duiuth. Judge Miles Lord Thursday set the 9 a.m. hearing as the first action leading toward irisl.

The government seeks to force Reserve's taconite processing plant to switch its way of disposing of taconite tailings. Judge Lord's scheduling of the hearing was the first action in the case since he denied on June 14 Reserve's motion to delay the federal court action until the Minnesota Supreme Court can rule in a state suit At the same time Lord ruied that 17 states, municipalities and environmental intervene in the lawsuit. The suit seeks to halt Reserve from dumping 67,000 tons of taconite tailings daily into Late Superior flight, had volunteered to stay, aboard the three-engined jetliner as a hostage with three crewmen after the jet's 53 other passengers and crew were allowed off in San Diego. Earlier reports that there were two passengers being held as hostage were erroneous, the FBI said. U.S.

Atty. James Browning Jr. authorized a complaint for air piracy against Goodell and recommended $100,000 bail. The Boeing 727-100, originally with with 58 persons aboard including the hijacker, was seized while on a short flight Thursday from Oakland to Sacramento. The plane was ordered 500 miles to San Diego where the hijacker got the money and parachute, then ordered it to Oakland.

He asked for a helicopter he had demanded to be waiting for him there. Turner had volunteered to be a hostage while the jet was in San Diego. The hijacker allowed all but Turner, and three crewmen to get off there. Witnesses said Capt. Jerry E.

Blakely, pilot of the jetliner, and the 42-year-old Tiighway patrol officer both were handcuffed before they walked off the plane. It was believed they had been handcuffed by the hijacker. "Persecution" Claims Black Woman Hopeful DETROIT (AP) Joyce Garrett, a black candidate for Wayne County commissioner in Detroit's 14th District, answered charges of vote fraud Thursday made by her white 67-year-old male opponent. Mrs. Garrett admitted voting in Detroit while living in suburban Southfield, but complained she was "the victim of the most vicious political persecution in recent local government history." She said she "voted in the city I consider my home," although admitting she was renting a Southfield townhouse.

The real issue in her candidacy against incumbent county commissioner Paul Silver, she said, is the "stubborn refusal of the UAW retiree to allow the district's black majority a fair choice among the candidates." The district they are fighting over is racially mixed. "I'm the black people in niy district say that I'm blacker than Mrs. Garrett," Silver declared, charging that Mrs. Garrett "hasn't accomplished anything" as director of the county Office of Human Relations. sion before the Democratic National Convention opens in Miami Beach Monday night.

On the other hand, Burger could refuse the appeal, thus letting the Appeals Court decision stand. Or he could delay implementation of the Apepals Court order until the Supreme Court convenes its fall term, well after the convention ends. In that case, McGovern might be expected to ask the convention to overrule the Credentials Committee and return the 151 California votes to him. Forces of Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley also have asked the court for a special term to attack another section of the same lower-court decision, which upheld the committee's authority to reject 59 Illinois delegates, including Daley.

In asking for Supreme Court action, the party maintained that the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia "has provoked a fundamental constitutional crisis Avhich can only be settled by this court." "Reversal of the judgment below is necessary to ensure that hereafter the federal courts will stay out of the South Viets In Heart Of Quang Tri By GEORGE ESPER Associated Press Writer SAIGON (AP) Saigon command claimed today that elements of a South Vietnamese paratrooper task force spearheaded by tanks had forged into the heart of Quang Tri City, and seized control of two- thirds of the northern provincial capital. But field reports and senior U.S. military source sharply disputed the announcement made in Saigon. Associated Press correspondent Dennis Neeld reported from the front he had no information to indicate a thrust into the northern half of the city.

A senior military source said there were no South Vietnamese units of any significant size in the city. He left open the possibility that reconnaissance teams might be operating there. Field sources said South Vietnamese paratrooper and marine units were closing in on the city but were meeting tough resistance. A huge American air and naval armada covered the advancing South Vietnamese. South Vietnamese marines were closing in on the city from the east.

One task force was reported to have advanced half a mile to the eastern outskirts and was a little more than a mile east of the Citadel, at the center of the city. A second marine task force made a helicopter landing miles southeast of the city. Lt. Col. Do Viet, a spokesman for the Saigon command, said that elements of a South Vietnamese paratroop battalion backed by tanks had pushed into the northern part of Quang Tri a few hours before dawn.

"They are right next to the Citadel," he said. American political process rather than seize its center stage," the petition read. The Credentials Committee stripped McGovern of the California delegates after deciding that the 271 he won in the state's winner-take-all primary should be apportioned among all the candidates according to their share of the vote. The appeals court held that changing the rules after the primary was over violated McGovern's rights. The ousted Illinois delegates said the committee decision and the court ruling that supported it disenfranchisel the Democratic voters who elected delegates only to see them replaced by challengers.

The party is opposing the Illinois suit on grounds it "does not involve an unprecedented judicial intrusion into the internal decision-making processes of a national political party." Meat Prices Lead All Cost Rises For June WASHINGTON (AP) A renewed surge in livestock and meat prices led an over-all rise of five-tenths of one per cent in wholesale prices of food and industrial products in June, the government said today. The unemployment rate dropped during the month. It was the second straight substantial monthly price increase, following a three-fifths of one per cent hike in May for the largest two-month increase since last January and February. The Labor Department also reported that the nation's unemployment rate dropped from 5.9 to 5.5 per cent of the work force last month for the lowest figure in more than a year and a half. The improvement was entirely due to seasonal factors.

But the actual total of jobless Americans climbed 1.1 million to 5.4 million in the annual summer flood of school youngsters seeking work. Because the rise in the work force was not as large as expected, the department's Bureau of Labor Statistics figured it as a decline in the jobless rate on a seasonal basis. Livestock prices climbed 4.7 per cent, poultry rose 6.9 per cent and processed meats, poultry and fish rose 3.6 per cent, the report on wholesale prices said. Industrial raw materials rose three-tenths of one per cent and consumer-finished ready for retail five-tenths of one per cent. The increases pushed the government's Wholesale Price Index up to 118.S of its 1967 base, meaning that it cost wholesalers $118.80 in June for Sometimes Love's Just Blind Drunk FLINT, Mich.

(AP) Some say love is blind. But when police arrested James Boak early Thursday it was stone-blind drunk. Boak, 40, distraught over an impending divorce, tried to attract his wife's attention to effect a reconciliation by knocking down 40 rural-delivery mailboxes with his truck. Police who arrested him in suburban Burton and plucked him from a crowd of angry mailbox owners said he was drunk. Detective Allen Schaaf of the Genesee County sheriff's department said Boak told him he had been drinking all day Wednesday because he learned his estranged wife was planning to file for divorce.

every S100 worth of goods five years ago. The index was 3.9 per cent above a year ago. The report said wholesale prices had climbed at an annual rate of 5.3 per cent in the seven months so far of President Nixon's Phase 2 wage- price controls, a larger increase than the 5.2 per cent rate of increase in the eight months prior to the Phase 1 wage-price freeze imposed by Nixon last August. Spassky Wins First Chess Move REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Bobby Fischer lost the draw Thursday night, giving Boris Spassky the first move, and the world championship chess match will finally start next Tuesday. Unless American challenger or the Soviet champion pleads illness and gets another postponement.

The confusion of the past week was summarized by the old woman selling cigarettes who asked in the beginning: "Fischer come?" iNear the end it was: "Spassky go?" I'm very pessimistic," Dr. Max Euwe said at 10 a.m. At noon: "It's a very delicate situation." At 7 p.m., the president of the International Chess Federation sighed: "There's hope." That was Tuesday. It could have been any day in the garbled prelude to what chess lovers say is the match of the century Spassky of the U.S.S.R. vs.

Fischer of the U.S.A. Spassky arrived early to wait for Bobby. Saying "I came to play," he philosophically accepted the first postponement when Fischer didn't show. Later he demanded an apology or he wouldn't play. At one news conference, one of Fischer's lawyers said he'd come to say he had nothing to say.

Yefim Geller, Spassky's second, fielded questions with: "Kak Gavarit po Angliski," or as you say in English, "No comment." Then there's the "Eavesdropper," a man approaching middle age with a shock of graying hair combed in careful disarray onto his forehead. He takes voluminous notes, for a magazine piece, he says. On scraps of paper he records conversations he's overheard. Say Ted Kennedy Will Have First Refusal On Vice President Bid MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) Sen.

Edward M. Kennedy will still hsve "first refusal" on the vice presidential nomination if Sen. George McGovern captures the Democratic presidential nod, sources close to the South Dakota senator said today. Despite Knnedy's repeated statements he won't be available, the offer will probably be made because polls show he would strengthen a McGovern- led ticket, the sources said. The sources discounted the value of polls ordered by McGovern on other possible running mates, declaring it is impossible to measure the value of possible candidates who are not so well known, such at Govs.

Reubin Askew of Florida and Dale Bumpers of Arkansas. Both have been mentioned by McGovern as leading possibilities. Activity in this steaming Democratic National Convention city, which has been limited this week to advance logistical preparations by the candidates and a half-dozen protest groups, picks up today as the parley heads for an opening Monday. Most of the major presidential candidates except McGovern fly here to start wooing arriving delegates in their bid to overtake the front- running South Dakota senator. Sens.

Hubert H. Humphrey, Edomnd S. and Henry M. Jackson; Alabama Gov. George C.

Wallace; and Rep. Wilbur D. Mills all scheduled afternoon arrivals. McGovern is due Saturday afternoon. With the convention to start Monday night, two major credentials cases which involve 151 McGovern delegates from California and 59 Illinois delegates led by Chicago Mayor Richard J.

Daley remained in a legal limbo. Chief Justice Warren E. Burger extended indefinitely Thursday a delaying order in the case so he could consult with his eight Supreme Court colleagues on whether to call a special session to consider appeals in the two cases. The two cases are crucial, es- pecially the California one, in McGovern's quest for victory on the first ballot. Including the 151 California votes, The Associated Press count shows McGovern with 1,454.65 first ballot votes just 54.35 short of the 1,509 needed for the nomination.

Failure to retain the 151 votes, either through court rulings or convention action, would leave McGovern more than 200 votes away from the nomination, a far more difficult hurdle to overcome. The AP count shows Humphrey a distant second with 39S.55; Wallace with 367; Mus- kie with 219.55; and 425.65 uncommitted. The rest are tered.

In The NEWS IY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Car Sale Record DETROIT U.S. automobile dealers racked up a first-half record with new car sales totaling 5,341,878 and June's deliveries topping the million mark for the second successive month. The showing brought renewed forecasts from industry executives that the year will top the passenger car sales record of 10,249,484 set in 1971 when a presidential price-freeze and a promise of excise tax repeal brought an unprecedented last-half buying spree.

A surge propelled sales by General Motors, Ford, Chrysler and American Motors to 361,183 in the final 10 days of June and lifted the month's total for domestic manufacturers to 876,126, compared with 797.363 for the similar month a year earlier. Patriarch Dies ISTANBUL Metropolitan Meliton, the archbishop of Chalcedon, is being mentioned as the likely successor to Patriarch Athenagoras the leader of the world's 250 million Eastern Orthodox Christians, who died early today at the age of 86. Meliton, 59, was to preside over a meeting today with the other archbishops of the Greek Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarchate to deckle funeral arrangements for Athenagcras. Later, at a date still to be announced, they will elect the new Ecumenical Patriarch, who is also Ar- chibshop of Constantinople. Irish Bombing BELFAST, Northern Ireland A 50-100- pound bomb exploded between a Roman Catholic church and its school in Belfast early today.

It was the first major explosion in Northern Ireland since the Irish Bepublican Army declared a truce 10 days ago, but police were reluctant to speculate who was responsible. The bomb gouged a crater 10 feet wide and two feet deep, seat four persons to a hospital to be treated for shock, and did extensive but superficial damage to the church, school and surrounding homes. Lutherans Meet DALLAS Delegates of the Lutheran Church in America turned down a resolution against a ceasefire in Vietnam Thursday as they finished their biennial convention. The delegates tabled a resolution on the war, arguing they were unwilling to adopt the proposed statement without fuller discussion. The convention was working past the scheduled closing hour at that point.

The tabled resolution called on. political and military leaders of the United States to ''cease all bombing in Indochina a nd press for a ceasefire, stop the flow of military supplies to Vietnam withdraw all military forces, encourage political settlement in Vietnam by Vietnamese." Airline Boycott WASHINGTON An officer of the Ab Line Pilots Association suggested today that travelers boycott air lines that are unwilling to spend enough money for strong ground security against hijackings. Al Bonner, ALPA first vice president, said a boycott of such air lines would bring about a definite improvement. He did not identify the air lines ALPA considers to have inadequate ground security. "Last month air line crews throughout the world stood up to the hijack menace in a one-day shutdown of air service," Bonner said in a statement.
