Page 2 oMy 14, 1972 Friday 4 I Forces work together to keep peace at Denio convention MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) No one wanted another Chicago. IPs almost as simple as that. So everyone gave a little the protesters, the police, the city, the party and-its candidate and the streets were quiet during the Democratic National Convention. Convinced that violence would damage their individual causes, these diverse forces forked together- this week to produce peaceful protests far different from the turbulence that swept the streets of Chicago when the' Democrats convened there four years ago.

The box' score, tells the story: Chicago: 680 arrested, 1,381 injured. Miami Beach: 1 arrested, 4 injured. The memorial of Chicago in 1068, of riot sticks and blood and tear gas, were replaced this week. Jjy. a motorcycle cop leading a prdtest march to Convention Hall with an antiwar button pinned to his chest.

By the Jesus Freaks" nnd ice cream vendors wandering through the crowd just after a small section of the fence around the hall was torn down, the destructive highpoint of the week. By the jam in front of Convention Hall when the Yippies and Zippies came from one direction, the Cuban anticommunists from another and thefiay activists from another. Demonstration marshals linked arms to keep everyone apart. There was no violence, hardly a hint of destruction. Disruptions, but not disturbances.

Tense moments, but not confrontations. And in the one moment things might have taken a different turn, George McGovern took a chance. Against the advice of the Secret Service, McGovern faced and pacified 300 chanting, shoving demofistrators in ae: hotel lobby just hours before he received the Democratic presidential, nomination. I think the symbolism is more important than anything that happened," he said afterward. We didnt want a repetition of Chicago in 1968.

When it was all over and done, poice were congratulating protesters, protesters were thanking police, and Mayor Chuck Hall and Police Chief Rocky Pomerance had merged almost as heroes of the counterculture generation. City officials had prepared themselves for an influx of tenj of thousands of so-called non-delegates, but at most only gathered at any one time. Several months ago, Hall began meeting with leaders of the groups that planned demonstrations during the convention. He also led the fight that opened a city park for camping during the convention. Pomerance organized the 800-man security force thaTsur-rounded Convention Hall, but at the same time instructed his men not to hassle people in the park about smoking marijuana or skinny dipping in the pool.

Tre police were just beautiful, said Fred Wanerstrand, a member of the Peoples Coalition for Peace and Justice. There would have been a blood bath, our blood, if they wanted to do anything." For the demonstrators, the Democratic convention was just a warm up, a dress rehearsal for the Republican National Convention six weeks from now in Miami Beach. They had a good thing going with the police and the city, and trouble would only spoil it. We showed the people of Miami Beach that we could conduct a nonviolent demonstration, said Zippie leader Dana Beal. They did not believe us before, but I think we proved something to them.

We got our message across without hurting anyone or trashing anything. Deaths Delegates from Nebraska respect McGovern choice For a delegate, there are so many dynamics operating at the same time on the-floor, off the floor, within the delegation, iij the caucuses." The entire experience, shp said has made her more realistic about what politics is all about." penter of Scottsbluff, then a Republican but now a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate, nominated a mythical Joe Smith as a vice presidential alternative to Richard Nixon. Four Nebraska votes also went to Francis T. Cissy Fa-rentbold, a Texas State representative, before Morrison announced the vote changes to make Nebraska solidly for Eagleton.

Dawn was only a couple hours away when adjournment ended four convention days which served as a workshop civics lesson, especially for those Nebraska delegates newly drawn into the political process via the party reform route. Living it is so different than watching it, said Mrs. C. M. Newman of Omaba, Who had served on the national Credentials Committee In advance of the convention.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) -Nebraska to the Democratic National Convention headed homeward Friday after dutifully respecting Presidential cand date George McGoverns choice of Missouri Sen. Thomas Eagleton as his running mate. There was a bit of feeling around for example, a vote for Joe Smith of Scottsbluff before Nebraska awarded all '24 of its votes to Eagleton. And the honor of making the rule suspension motion by which the convention acclaimed Eagleton as the unanimous choice fell to former Gov.

Frank B. Morrison, head of the Nebraska delegation. The vote for Joe Smith, cast by Nels Petersen of Omaha, was a playful reference to the 1956 Republican national convention in San Francisco.

He said it is difficult to establish the actual cost to the company, but he said he could assure users, the company Is not making any profit. Notices explaining what is being done have been sent to users. Personal contact with the customer also is attempted before the work is begun. In almost every instance, the homeowner was contacted, he said. Peden said the initial cost of the protection will be saved over a period of years because the device called an annode is designed to lengthen the life of the pipe, thereby decreasing the chance for installation of a new pipe.

Any new line installed must receive the same protection and that cost will be included in the bid, according to the company. Jack Sutton, -city administrator, said several persons have called him and city councilmen asking if the company needs council approval. Sutton said city ordinances cover consumption of natural gas, not installation of equipment. Ewert Services for Writer B. Ewert, 53, 1145 Sixth St, were today at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church.

(AP (AP)t match where Fischer needs the 'equivalent of 12 victories and a draw to take Spassky's title. Fischer stayed in his hotel room Thursday and refused to play unless three cameras filin ing the match for movie and television sales were removed from the hall.

Since the American challenger lost the first game on Wednesday, referee Lothar Schmids forfeit ruling gave Spassky a 2-0 lead. Schmid said the third game cf the 24-game match would be held on schedule Sunday, but the future of the match was very much in doubt. Schmid said it depends on whether Fischer continues his boycott. He added that the World Chess Federation FIDE could step in at any time and disqualify him. But Dr.

Max Euwe, president of the organization, said Schmid was still in charge of the match and must decide how to handle the American. A spokesman for promoter Chester Fox, who bought the movie and TV rights for the match from the Icelandic Chess Federation, said the cameras had to stay because the whole financial structure of the match depends on it. It was the prospect of movie and TV sales that allowed the Icelanders to offer a record 125,000 purse to the two players, and Fischer and Spassky, ere also to divide a share of the movie-TV money estimated at a minimum of 155.000. Fox said Fischer admitted he couldnt hear or see the three cameras but he said they bothered him because he knew they were there. Fischer had objected first to the cameras Wednesday night and left the chess board in the sports palace for half an hour before conceding defeat in the first match.

Intense negotiations through the rest of the night and all day Thursday failed to coax him from his hotel room. Spassky had' arrived meanwhile at the sports palace and was seated behind the black figures before a crowd of about 1.000. Sale Fumes overcome Ithaca man at Hormel construction site George A.
