McGovern and Sen. Thomas F. Eagleton, stand with their wives, Eleanor and Barbara Ann, respectively, on the podium facing the delegates and Helpmates at the final session of the Democratic National Convention in Miami Beach, Fla. (AP) Eagleton Could Aid Democrats in State Races By ROBERT L. SLATER (News-Press Staff Writer) MIAMI BEACH, Fla.

Missouri delegates to the Democratic National Convention, physically exhausted from night-long sessions and emotionally drained by events surrounding the selection of Senator Thomas F. Eagleton as the vice esidential candidate headed home today. And the principal topic of speculation was 1 the question of the impact on state races of a national ticket including Senator Eagleton. The delegates were agreed that the addition of Eagleton to the ticket would enhance Democratic chances for victory in November and in the state races, particularly in the gubernatorial race. And Governor Warren E.

Hearnes was quoted as saying the McGovern-Eagleton ticket would carry Missouri. Earlier, he had said he did not believe Senator McGovern could win the state. That was before the South Dakota nominee selected Senator Eagleton a as his running mate. Senator Eagleton's presence on the ticket should help Democratic candidates on the state, congressional and county levels. Still, while there may be the appearance of Democratic unity, it is a pragmatic unity and a fragile one.

Missouri Democrats are generally enthusiastic about Senator Eagleton, but there remains considerable disenchantment with Senator McGovern among some of those who had fought against his nomination. And the McGovern people didn't do themselves any good with their reported blocking Thursday night of a planned speech by Governor Hearnes to second the nomination of Senator Eagleton. Governor Hearnes made i it quite clear he was ready and available for the speech and that Senator Eagleton had requested he make it. But he said McGovern supporters decided they wanted someone else. Governor Hearnes has said he will vote the Democratic ticket in November and will do whatever Senator Eagleton asks of him in the campaign.

Jackson County Judge Harry Wiggins, Senator' McGovern's. Missouri chairman, said the South Dakota candidate is anxious for the support of Governor Hearnes. "Senator McGovern definitely wants his support," Judge Wiggins said. "'He wants the support of all Missourians. That's our message.

1972 20 PAGES TWO SECTIONS Sen. McGovern Calls for Unity Acceptance Democratic Nominee Vows. to Lead People's Campaign MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP)Democratic presidential nominee George McGovern, vowing to lead a people's campaign, urged wildly cheering Democrats today to put behind "our fury and our frustrations" and unite to capture the White House from President Nixon. And the South Dakota senator appealed for help "from every Democrat and every Republican and independent who wants America to be the great and good land it can be." It was nearly 3 a.m.

when the beaming McGovern, introduced by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy and joined by vice presidential nominee Thomas F. Eagleton and defeated presidential rivals, stepped to the rostrum of a tumultuous, jammed Convention Hall to accept his party's nomination. The victorious nominee had only a few hours to rest up after his triumph appearances before a unity breakfast for the party's House and Sente Campaign committees and a Democratic fundraising group were scheduled before he returned to Washington later today.

McGovern also had to decide on a new chairman for the Democratic National Committee, which holds a morning organizational meeting. While he has pressed Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien to stay on, informed sources said he would ask Jean Westwood, the Uhah national committeewoman, to take the job if O'Brien declines. After a few hours sleep, McGovern and Eagleton attended a breakfust of orange juice, sweet rolls and coffee for Democratic candidates for Congress and governor. McGovern told them the party can sweep to victory on all.

levels with the right grass-roots support. Eagleton said he was "still on cloud nine" and promised a fighting campaign. House Speaker Carl Albert of Oklahoma let loose a louder and more traditional campaign pitch. "Nixon may have the computer, he may have the bank the veteran Democrat told McGovern, "but you've got the people and you're going to win." Albert, the kind of old-time regular McGovern is seeking to rally to his drive, acclaimed: the presidential candidate as "the man to turn the country around." In the final moments of the convention that his supporters dominated all week, the triumph belonged to the onetime college professor from South Waves of applause rocked the hall as Hubert H. Humphrey, Edmund S.

Muskie, Henry M. Jackson, Shirley Chisholm and Terry Sanford lifted high the hands of the 49-year-old nominee and his 42-year-old running mate from Missouri.

Thought for Today Don't ever mistake your imagination for. your in Speech Howitt Razing Is Next torious standard bearer. Reviewing the way his campaign swept aside the established political leadership, McGovern said he would dedicate his White House campaign to the people, declared that next January he would restore government to their hands and added: "American politics will never the the same again." With some labor leaders still determined to sit out the campaign and other delegates grumbling about the ways in which his operatives dominated the convention, McGovern forecast the battle against Richard Nixon would bring the party "together in common cause" this fall. "He is the unwitting unifier and the fundamental issue of this national campaign," McGovern said, adding that "all of us together are going to help him redeem a pledge he made 10 years ago: that next year you won't have Richard Nixon to kick around any more." Even delegates who supported the absent Gov. George C.

Wallace joined the ovation when McGovern vowed to wage a national campaign and said, "We are not conceding a single state to Richard Nixon." Earlier in the long evening, the third of four nights on which the convention stayed in session well into the predawn hours, the convention ratified as the No. 2. man on the 1972 McGovern's choice of Eagleton Democratic ticket. But it took a one-hour, 20- minute roll call that saw votes cast for candidates ranging from television commentator Roger to TV character Archie Bunker, to the senator's wife, Eleanor. Even Martha Mitchell, the wife of former GOP campaign manager John N.

Mitchell, got a vote.

"You can't beat 100 per cent," he said. The Fat Albert, named by fliers aboard the Kitty Hawk, is twice as powerful as the Walleye and has a television camera in the nose to direct the bomb to the target.

"The primary advantages of the 'Fat Albert' over the earlier Walleyed series are increased explosive impact, better reliability and greater standoff range or the ability to hit targets from higher altitudes, the most popular feature for combat air crews exposed to enemy ground fire," the Navy said. The Navy said its attack would continue to use the Walleye, WI which was first used against North Vietnam in March 1967, and also the laserguided bombs. The U.S. Command announced, meanwhile, that U.S. pilots carried out 270 tactical air strikes against targets inside North Vietnam Thursday.

Hearnes, who seemed to be left holding the bag, could just possibly wind up in the U.S. Senate. The Missouri governor is due to retire in January after 22 years of holding public office. His eclipse seemed more than ever certain when he came out early for Sen. Edmund Muskie and his favorite faltered along the presidential primary trail.

When Muskie stopped campaigning, Hearnes did everything he could to keep a personal hold on Missouri's 73 votes in the Democratic National Con- Connally Will Report to Nixon on 15-Nation Trip the woman related.

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (A.P) Former Treasury Secretary John B. Connally has arrived in Southern California for a conference today with President Nixon. Connally, until recently the only Democrat in Nixon's Cabinet, just completed a 35-day, 15-nation trip around the world for the President, who has promised the mission would be followed by an important new assignment for the silver-haired Texan. Asked if the new assignment would be announced today, press secretary Ronald L.

Zieg. ler said, "It has not been decided." There has been speculation for more than a year that, should Nixon decide to replace Vice President Spiro T. Agnew as his 1972 running he might turn, to Connally. The liam S. Morris of Kansas City, who was elected with the blessing of Hearnes and is running for governor this year, would step up to the job immediately.

He could then appoint Hearnes to the Senate. Hearnes will be 49 on July 24. He was elected to the Missouri Legislature in 1950 and served as secretary of state before becoming the first Missouri governor ever elected for two successive four -year terms. Hearnes carried Missouri by 381,000 votes when he was reelected governor in 1968. Eagleton won by 36,870.

President Nixon beat Sen. Hubert Humphrey by 20,488. former Treasury chief has expressed disinterest in the job but has never said flatly he would not accept. Another globe-circling traveler, Secretary of State William P. Rogers, will be at the Western White House on Saturday to report to Nixon on a 19-day journey to 10 countries.

Ziegler reported that the President and Mrs. Nixon watched final Democratic convention proceedings on television Thursday night. However, the press secretary kept mum about Nixon's reaction to the nomination of Sen. George McGovern as his November opponent. "We won't have a specific comment on the upcoming election and proceedings until after the Republican convention," Ziegler said.

The GOP meeting begins Aug. 21 in the same Miami Beach convention center where Democrats have just met. Nixon did order Henry A. Kissinger, his national security affairs adviser, to arrange a meeting soon with McGovern to set up a series of intelligence briefings for the Democratic nominee. Ziegler said McGovern would be kept "fully abreast" of Vietnam peace talks and, in response to a question, hinted the briefings also would deal with any secret negotiations that may be arranged in the weeks ahead.

Nixon spent much of Thursday in his office, conferring with such key aides as Kissinger and H.R. Haldeman, chief of the White House staff. The President and. Kissinger received a steady flow of written reports on resumed peace talks in Paris. Although these were still under study, Ziegler reported "we see nothing dra-' matically new" emerging from the initial session Thursday morning.

Thomas Eagleton, a long-time political teammate of Hearnes, as his candidate for vice president. If McGovern and Eagleton should win in November, it could touch off this power play in Missouri: Eagleton could resign from the Senate and Hearnes could resign as governor around the first of the year.
