McGovern plans to spend about two sweeping and dramatic victories in the country," said McGovern. He pledged to mesh his widely praised organization of volunteers with the regular Democratic party apparatus while striving to reach an ammodation with big labor which opposed McGovern's nomination and has threatened to sit out the election.

McGovern told reporters he got two hours sleep, but both he and Eagleton looked alert and refreshed. Both stressed at the breakfast gathering at the Fontainebleau Hotel that only with all elements of the party working together could Nixon be defeated. With cooperation, they said, there was no doubt about the outcome. "We're going to win one of the most.

"America will keep its defenses alert and fully sufficient to meet any danger," if he is elected, McGovern promised.

In a plea for unity, McGovern appeared before the convention at 3 ajn. Drafter most of the television audience had gone to bed and embraced Edward M. Kennedy and the men he had defeated for the nomination. First Kennedy roused the huge crowd with a Jd-fashioned partisan roll call of Democratic heroes, and a denunciation of President Nixon's stewardship.

JL 16 PAGES happ's ost in MIAMI BEACH (UPI)-Gov. Milton J. Shapp's efforts to end the friction between labor and George McGovern were lost early today in the final hoopla of the Democratic National Convention. Shapp came to the convention Thursday night to talk to McGovern and the disenchanted labor people. McGovern asked him to come "for the sake of party unity." "We want to show there are a riumber of leaders in the party who will work for him," said Shapp, who had withdrawn as a delegate because of flooding in Pennsylvania.

He was an early supporter of Edmund Muskie. The governor met with McGovern for about 15 minutes before going to Convention Hall. "I told him he had to turn loose some of those enthusiastic supporters of his to do a real job on voter registration over the next 60 days," he said. Shapp intended to talk to the labor delegates when he got to the convention floor. But the excitement forced them to postpone their serious talks until they get back to Harrisburg.

Harry Boyer, president of the state AFL-CIO, indicated he would work for the presidential nominee despite his fears that McGovern would cost the Democrats control of the legislature. I. W. Abel, president of the United Steelworkers Union (USW), refused to backdown here," Shapp told the state delegation when he arrived. "This is nothing new.

(UPI)- The two hijackers in a crippled jet stranded on a small South Texas airfield weren't ready to concede defeat. The airplane was surrounded by police, it was out of fuel and had four blown tires, and the hijackers were weary from the 22-hour ordeal.

But they still had $600,000 ransom money and parachutes they traded for 112 passengers in Philadelphia, and were holding three stewardesses hostage. It was FBI agent Louis White of Baltimore, who convinced them they should surrender after talking to them about 30 minutes. The agent, like the hijackers, is black. "White told them the three people who were injured in the ordeal were not hurt seriously. He said the only thing for them to do was give up," said Houston FBI chief Thomas Jordon.

"He made them realize they were in an untenable position." The three stewardesses walked out first, followed seconds later by the hijackers, walking out of the rear door of the airplane with their hands held high. White snapped on the handcuffs and the men, later identified as Stanley Green, 34, of Washington, D.C., and Lulseyd Tesfa, 22, a native of Ethiopia, were charged with air piracy and held in lieu of $1 million bond each. The hijacking began Wednesday night as the jetliner approached New York on a flight from Philadelphia.

He described gulleys along the approach roads as being five to six feet in depth. The other bridges were described as being "in pretty good shape" by Brenneman. These included Roush, Hertzler's, Hayes and Staunton bridges.
