Wallace have participated in good faith at every level of Democratic party procedures. Theirs is a voice heard throughout our state and throughout our country, and it must be heard throughout our; -party." PARK (Continued From Page One) almost seven years and have discussed the project as part of the tour on that trail for years," she added. The park would include a pioneer farm where pioneer' crafts such as weaving, candlemaking and many other crafts would be taught to both adults and youngsters.

It would be divided into the six geographical areas of Texas, each area exhibiting the nature of each particular region. There would be an amphitheater aquarium, a walk through aviary, a -cypress swamp and a natural science center. Officials said the Mn-Pac Expressway has divided the proposed park area from the main Zilker Park area. Because of its being cut off, the proposed park area is difficult to control and "vandalism has been ver high," officials said. Thev cited one incident of vandalism where someone completely beat down a concrete picnic table in th- park.

The proposed park would be bounded bv the exprcisu.v on the cast, Town Lake on the North and the City of Rollingwood on the West FATE (Continued From Page One) trauma in a maternity ward," he said. He said 36 to 40 patients are admitted daily, and this allows for only three or four "elective" or non-urgent surgical procedures. Physicians turned away must find room in other hospitals. This is necessary for the hospital to meet its commitments to emergency patients Li the 10-county Central Texas area, he said. Brown said the report may have some statements about alternate methods of financial support for the city tax supported hospital.

One possibility is that other counties served by the hospital might provide some percentage of support. During the Wednesday night work session with city officials, the council decided to add funds to the CIP for a water line in South Austin and for improvements to Decker Park. The CIP proposed by the city manager and planning commission has a five-year-total budget of 1575,149,000, with a first year total of $250,298,000. The council decided to add another $500,000 to the 1972-73 budget for a 24-inch water line to serve an arsa being developed with 2,400 homes and a golf course cast of Interstate Highway 35 and north of Onion Creek. The council also decided to put another $23,000 in the program to "vitalize" the Decker Lake recreation area.

Mayor Pro Tern Dan Love and Councilman Berl Handcox said they also wanted to add money for golf facilities in the area but decided to wait until the city manager presents a report of facilities. A hearing on the CIP is scheduled Wednesday night. (Continued From Page One) been my goal all along." He said it showed "we have a new spirit" in the Democratic party in Texas. Briscoe said he had no plans to campaign for McGovern in Texas, but, "TH vote for the nominee." Asked if he thought McGovern would be a liability to his own campaign against Republican Hank Grover for governor, Briscoe said, "I'm not prepared to say." He did say that he thought Wallace and Jackson were due consideration by McGovern as a running mate. Questioned about resentment among Texas Democratic delegates for late hour support of Wallace for the nomination and the later switch to McGovern, Briscoe said, "I have no idea of the feelings of others." Placards did appear in Texas delegation seats on the floor critical of Briscoe's endorsement of Wallace and later switch to McGovern.

Briscoe had told his delegates Tuesday that he had opposed McGovern from the start and "I will oppose him until we vote." He indicated he might vote for Jackson. Late Wednesday, however, fallowing a face-to-face meeting with Wallace, Briscoe announced he would vote for Wallace. He said he arrived at the decision after Wallace assured him he had no third-party intentions and planned 1 to stay in the Democratic party. "Gov. Wallace's supporters have demonstrated that they are a constructive force Midway Church at has cypress window shutters which have served since 1792, and in its; chunhyard is an unprotected cypress grave marker on which; the date, "1790," is still, distinguishable after 169 HIJACK SUSPECT 49, of Norman, McGovern left his penthouse suite at a hotel up the beach to tell antiwar demonstrators he stood by his pledge for total U.S.

withdrawal from Indochina. "I'm not shifting my position on any of the fundamental stands I've taken," said McGovern, ringed by security agents as he faced the noisy, shoving demonstrators who had occupied the lobby six hours earlier. After two straight all-night sessions, the climactic round of nominating speeches proceeded swiftly, with little semblance of the cld-time hoopla and floor demonstrations. At list the roll call was reached and, as the clock struck midnight, McGovern's nomination was assured. Bedlam burst through the vast hall, where six weeks hence Republicans will formally name President Nixon to carry their standard against McGovern.

Blue McGovern placards waved through the hall as supporters celebrated the victory of the man whose youthful legions haJ humbled the party's mighty. Forty-five minutes later, when Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien announced the final totals, the hall again went wild. Jubilant McGovern workers, their long quest against what seemed overwhelming odds crowned at last with success, kissed and hugged one another. In the front, members of the huge California delegation, reunited solidly behind McGovern in the Monday night credentials vote that demonstrated the senator's dominance and assured his nomination, lifted their three cochairmen to their shoulders.

Red-haired actress Shirley MacLaine waved a sign that mocked the long odds against McGovern's nomination by declaring "Jimmy the Greek Where are you?" A third roar went up five minutes later as O'Brien declared McGovern the party's i and designated a committee lo inform him of his designation. The committee is headed by Pibicoff, who nominated McGovern in a losing quest four years ago and again Wednesday night as "a candidate tuned to the hearing early today before a U.S. magistrate on an air piracy charge. Fisher is accused of hijacking an American Airlines, flight from Oklahoma City to Dallas, He surrendered early today after collecting a $550,000 ransom. (AP Wircphoto) (Continued From Page One) included a i i campaign manager Gary Hart, delegate specialist Rick Stearns, press secretary Richard J.

Dougherty, top aide I'red Dutton and the actress Shirley MacLaine. Kennedy's self-disqualifications, telephoned to McGovern from Hyannis Port, set off the broadened hunt for a running mate, Kennedy also congratulated McGovern in a call made soon after Illinois sent McGovern's total past the 1,509 votes needed for nomination. During their 15-minute talk, McGovern offered Kennedy the No. 2 spot for the race against President Nixon. Kennedy rejected it "for very real personal reasons," according to McGovern spokesman Richard Dougherty.

Earlier in the evening, Florida Gov. Reubin Askew, another prime prospect, told McGovern through aides he didn't want to be considered. McGovern aides said the nominee would make no announcement about a runningmate before midday. One close adviser said he felt the list of those under consideration was expanding as the victorious nominee sought the counsel of Sens. Hubert H.

Humphrey and Edmund G. Muskie, his defeated rivals whose withdrawal from contention a day earlier had signaled Wednesday night's triumph. Those being mentioned include five senators Thomas Eagleton of Missouri, Abraham A. Ribicoff of Connecticut, Philip A. Hart of Michigan, Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, and Walter F.

Mondale of Minnesota; two governors, Ohio's John J. Gilligan and Wisconsin's Patrick Lucey, and labor leader Leonard Woodcock. Midway through the evening, top McGovern aides were asked to submit lists of four possibilities. One Rick Stearns, said McGovern had narrowed possibilities to four, including Kennedy and Woodcock. Other aides said a larger number remained under consideration.

Within minutes, after clinching the nomination, McGovern received congratulations and promise of support from all the candidates he had conquered, except Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace. But labor leaders in particular remained bitterly opposed to the senator, as did many delegates. One sign in the hall read: "McGovern Will Bomb in November." Earlier in the evening, as the Democratic National Convention proceeded through its rites of nomination, (Continued From Page One) Wednesday night.

Fischer staged a 30-minute walkout shortly after the play began Wednesday, complaining the', a movie camera 150 feet away was making him nervous. The camera was hardly visible in the dimness outside the lighted players' circle, and it could not he heard by Fischer, but aides said the knowledge of its presence unnerved him. Chief referee Lothar Schmid of West Cermany, who makes the decisions on all contested points in connection with the match, told I- ischer during his walkout there was nothing he could do about the camera. Film and television rights for the match have been sold to an American promoter, and Fischer and Spassky are to get a share of the proceeds, estimated at a minimum of $27,500 each. "It's up to Lcthar Schmid whether Bobby plays." one of Fischer's advisers said today.

Contacted at his hotel, Schmid said: "There will be a match tonight. If Fischer doesn't appear, he will take the consequences." A member of Fischer's eaaip said the "legal aspects are being studied." Richard Stein, a lawyer for the promoter who bought the TV and film rights, Chester Fox, said he was up all night with Fischer's second, the Rev. William Lombardy, and Fred Cramer of the U.S. Chess Federation. Stein said that at one point Fischer walked in on the meeting, listened for a few minutes and then in a few sentences indicated he was adamant about expelling the cameras.

Then he went to bed. 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 these 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 monopoly of the title.

He has played Spassky six times, been beaten by him four times and drawn twice. 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 41) moves with Fischer in bad straits. Five minutes after the game resumed late Wednesday afternoon, Fischer stood up, spoke animatedly to Schmid and strode to a backstage dressing room. 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 slopped the clock after 63 minutes had elapsed. the Rollingwood boundary is a bluff area.

There are no plans to put anything on the high level, officials said.

Waller Mon-dale 1. Clothes Do Not Make the Man HOUSTON (AP) A Houston man, who says he plans a sex change operation, has asked the city council to give him an identification card to prevent police from arresting him for wearing women's clothes. Richard Anthony Mayes, 25, who has been arrested four times in recent months, said a new city ordinance against impersonating a member of the opposite sex should not apply in his case since he has no intent to disguise his true self. Mayes said his true self was trans-sexual, a person who is physically one sex and psychologically another. In that case, all the pawns cn the queen side would have been been driven off, with a constant danger of stalemate.

Fisher boarded the flight in Oklahoma City. It departed al about 7:45 p.m. bound for Dallas and Los Angeles, but the pilot was notified of the hijacking alwut a half-hour later and the aircraft turned back to Oklahoma City because of turbulent weather in the Dallas area. The hijacker ordered the pilot lo land in Oklahoma City, then demanded $550,000 in $100 bills and a parachute. After the plane sat for about one hour and 15 minutes at the far end of the runway, the hijacker ordered it into the air again while the money was being assembled.

The plane took off at about .12:55 a.m. and circled for more than three hours before the money was collected. When the plane was ordered down io pick up the ransom money, newsmen monitoring the tower radio heard one official tell members of "the rifle, team' to "keep one eye shut and one eye open in ease he turns the light off and comes out.
