(AP) Aides to Sens. Hubert H. Humphrey and George McGovern are sparring verbally in a warmup for next week's Democratic National Convention while a federal appeals court considers the crucial California and Illinois credentials eases. Jack Chestnut, Humphrey's campaign manager, demanded that McGovern fire or repudiate Rick Stearns, one of his campaign aides, for saying that he favored a third party to "punish" Humphrey should the Minnesota senator win the Democratic presidential nomination. "Talk of punishment of the Democratic party is irresponsible and can't be tolerated," Chestnut said, reacting to the Stearns comments which seem to be part of an effort by some McGovern aides to convince party leaders that denial of the nomination to the front-running South Dakota senator would split the party.

Both Humphrey and McGovern were resting Humphrey at his Wavcrly, lakeside home, McGovern at his Eastern shore Maryland farm. HIJACK (Continued From Page One) Ash said, was from a slight ambulance to a Buffalo hospital for examination. Blood on the child's clothing, Ash said, was from a slight wound the man had suffered. Police identified the man as Charles Smith, 23, of Buffalo. The youngster was not identified immediately.

Police said Smith had allegedly stabted the girl's mother and a man earlier in Buffalo. The woman was reported in critical condition, the man in fair condition, at Deaconess Hospital in Buffalo. Police said Smith apparently slipped aboard the unoccupied jet about a.m. and demanded that American Airlines provide a pilot for the craft. "I want a pilot.

I want a goddamn pilot," he shouted to police and FBI agents who surrounded the plane as it stood at a terminal gate. A group of FBI agents and police gathered near a ramp to the plane, using a baggage cart as a barricade. A man and woman took turns using a bullhorn to call up to Smith. The woman, identified by an FBI agent as Smith's mother, walked part way up the ramp at one point, talked with Smith, then returned. Smith and the girl were visible just inside the plane.

Scores of airline passengers passed through the terminal as usual. Many seemed unaware of what was happening at the American gate. From the upper level of the airport terminal, newsmen could see Smith holding the girl in his arms. At times he and the girl could be seen sitting in a front seat. Now unions as "a prime example ofjtesting roonli wnere he was a real good construction gangasked to sit down.

Pearson was foreman ofj a grand jury some years ago, Judge Blackwell recollected Wednesday. Pearson was picked after Blackwell seated the 12 jurors, who were selected from a panel of 20 persons picked by a grand jury-commission earlier this month. A challenge to Pearson had been voiced by a jail prisoner, but it was withdrawn.

The unusual challenge actually never came about. Sheriff T. O. Lang said that in the routine canvass of i i county jail prisoners carried out before the grand jury is seated each three months, one prisoner said he wished to challenge the seating of Pearson. When the prisoner one James Alexander, who Lang said is charged with marijuana possession was brought to court Wednesday-morning, Blackwell asked him whom he wished to challenge.

Alexander said, "I don't challenge anyone, sir," and was led away. Blackwell remarked to the jurors, "Maybe he just wanted a trip from the fifth floor down here Blackwell selected William H. Raschke of 1700 Stamford, manager of Cooperative Student Business Service, as acting foreman when and if Pearson is absent.

Fight other men were killed by shots through the head and their bodies abandoned during the weekend.

Six were Roman Catholics and two were Protestants. There is some speculation that the executions are the work of men posing as taxi drivers.

DEMO (Continued From Page One) prompted the Fourth of July appeal. McGovern and Daley forces appealed in their fight to overturn committee decisions which ousted 59 Illinois delegates, including Daley, and ripped the winner-take-all prize of the California presidential primary from the McGovern to award state's 271 delegates proportionately among candidates, based on their percentage of the vote.

Meanwhile, the Credentials Committee completed its preconvention agenda and passed on to the convention the job of settling 13 contests over the seating of hundreds of delegates. The fights the committee could not resolve including the politically explosive ones from California and Illinois will almost inevitably provoke at the convention the bitterness that marked committee debates between McGovern supporters and backers of his opponents. Minority reports, from persons who disagreed with the committee majority, have been filed from South Carolina. Georgia, Hawaii, Michigan, Alabama, California, Connecticut and Oklahoma, with two dissents from Rhode Island and three from Illinois. Many of the dissents concern issues raised by the mandate from the reform commission originally headed by McGovern: that women, young people and minorities be represented at the convention in proportion to their population.

In the court fight over the Illinois and California challenges, Califano argued that the party may do as it wishes. To illustrate, he said i some believe that seating Dalev and letting McGovern have the delegates he won I would be the shrewd political move. SOLONS (Continued from Page One) I expected income.

It also compares with the House bill of $852 million, passed after a 16-hour marathon session in which 47 amendments were made in floor debate and 48 others defeated. The bill covers the state's next business year from this Sept. 1 to Aug. 31, 1973. In January 1973, the regular session of the 63rd Legislature will begin finance talks for 1974-73.
