"It's better to hear people out than to drive them out," he said.

"This was a Sunday afternoon excursion compared to four years ago." The political task ahead of McGovern was monumental. But the task already behind him had once appeared impossible. All that remained for the 36th Democratic National Convention was to do McGovern's bidding and ratify his still-unannounced selection for the vice-presidential nomination Thursday night. The name of the absent Sen. Edward M.

Kennedy of Massachusetts topped every list of prospects. But the list that counts is McGovern's own, said to be four or five names long, including Kennedy's. And for McGovern, the challenge ahead was to unite a feuding, bickering party whose power brokers he defied and dislodged in the drive that carried him to nomination. A united party is vital if McGovern is to stand a chance in his campaign to unseat WVvl -Tdi vlf vlw UK i rV yff (fe President Nixon, whose renomination is assured when the Republicans convene in the same Miami Beach setting on Aug. 21.

There was trouble on the Democratic right The elders of organized labor made no secret of their dissatisfaction with the party's choice, although peacemaking efforts were under way Wednesday. McGovern already had pledges of support from Sens. Edmund S. Muskie and Hubert H. Humphrey, the liberal candidates he overtook in the presidential primaries.

They conceded him the nomination and withdrew a day before the convention decision. When McGovern's campaign formally began, on Jan. 19, 1971, Muskie was the towering favorite, McGovern was a political nobody whose name barely made the public opinion polls. Patiently, almost unnoticed, McGovern built an organization buttressed by thousands of youthful volunteers, plus a new breed of political pros to work the McGOVERN Page 3 OF Two airliners are hijacked MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) George McGovern won the Democratic presidential nomination Wednesday night to climax an incredible campaign that carried him from 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 he had 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.

In both cases, the hijackers demanded money and parachutes.

The air piracy came only a week after two planes on the West Coast were hijacked within 24 hours. Stricter searches on all commuter flights were ordered by President Nixon after last week's events. The National jet, which carried 113 passengers, was hijacked by two men who reportedly demanded $600,000 in American currency, $20,000 in The meeting climaxed a 6-hour, 15-minute demonstration during which the protesters blockaded stairways and elevators. Another group of about 800 demonstrators converged on Convention Hall and set up a "Poor People's Dike," made of sandbags, on the lawn. The senator promised that "every American soldier, every American prisoner, PEACE Page 3 auguration every American troop and every American soldier will be home, and that's the pledge I make," McGovern said.

George McGovern confronted angry demonstrators who had invaded his hotel lobby and told them Wednesday night that he had not shifted his position on any of the issues-including Vietnam.

Responding to shouted questions from the noisy crowd, McGovern, told the demonstrators: "I'm here to hear what you have to say." He conceded there were 2 men nobbed Mexican pesos and three parachutes. The three-engine Boeing 727 was approaching Kennedy airport in New York when the hijacking occurred, authorities said. It returned to Philadelphia and circled for an hour while officials tried to decide what to do. It landed just before 9 p.m. EDT at the airport which was closed to all other flights.

Passengers and crew remained aboard. A National spokesman said an Army plane brought parachutes to the airport. There' was no word about what arrangements, if any, were being made to deliver the money. About an hour and a half after the plane landed, the airport control tower reported over the police radio that the plane was out of fuel and without electricity and that the hijackers were asking for another plane. In addition, it was reported that the pilot had escaped by jumping out of the plane.

The American plane, which reportedly carried about 18 persons, was diverted to Greater Southwest International Airport at Fort Worth, Tex. The hijacker reportedly demanded $550, -000, parachutes and transfer to another plane which he wanted sent from Dallas. Shortly after 10 EDT, the second plane had not been dispatched. Heavy thunderstorms with lightning and gusty winds buffeted both Dallas and Fort Worth. The hijacker reportedly said he had a gun and a bomb.

Television station WBAP said the pilot of the plane had confirmed that the hijacker had a gun.

Secret Service, FBI and Florida Law Enforcement Department agents arrested one man as he sat in a mustard-colored sports car parked on the ramp of the hotel. The Secret Service said two pistols were found under the car's front seat. The second man was taken into custody in the hotel's interior lobby minutes later.

Both were frisked, handcuffed and taken away. It was not immediately clear which of the two men was inside the hotel. After the game was over Fischer told the man who taught him the moves of the game when he was a boy in Brooklyn, N.Y., that "it will settle down." It was a bad day all around for the 29-year-old American. In addition to conceding Spassky a 1-0 lead at the outset Man fined $20 in rotiUdbaih MISSOULA, Mont.

(AP) Federal agents rushed to the Doral Beach Hotel on Wednesday and seized two men on concealed weapons charges shortly after Sen. George McGovern wound up a meeting in his penthouse suite.

The Secret Service said later it had no evidence the men intended to harm the South Dakota senator or any other Democratic presidential candidate. The Secret Service said the two black men identified themselves as Malek Sonebeyatta, 32, and Ahmed Obatemi, 33, both of Jackson, but said that positive identification had not been made. Both carried multiple identification, authorities said. Two handguns were found under the seat of a car occupied by one of the men. "We have no information at this time to connect the activities of these men with any intended harm to the protectees of the Secret Service," agents said in a news release.

One police source said the two belonged to a black separatist organization called the Republic of New Africa. Shortly after the 11:45 a.m. arrests, McGovern canceled a scheduled 12:15 p.m. trip to attend a Democratic National Convention caucus of 151 Latin delegates at the Deauville Hotel.

News from London was that James Slater, who sweetened the pot with 50,000 pounds about $120,000 wouldn't be able to get his money out of England because of currency restrictions. Slater's donation, which pushed the total prize money to $300,000, enticed Fischer to end his holdout at the scheduled start of the match July 2. Asked about Slater's problem, Fischer snapped, "No comment." The play lasted only one hour and three minutes.

It was the continuation of a game begun Tuesday and adjourned after 40 moves with Fischer in a position the experts said would give him only a draw at best. 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.
