Protest Explained Their protest is being lodged on two grounds: The passage of the weapons through populated areas appears to them to imperil people in this country.

(AP) -Goodwin Chase, a Washington State Chairman for the Presidential campaign of Adlai Stevenson in 1956, said today he will support the re-election of President Richard M. Nixon this year. Chase, 61, Friday announced his early retirement as president of the National Bank of Washington. In 1948 Chase was state finance director for President Harry S. Truman, He also has been active in the campaign of Sens.

Warren G. Magnuson and Henry M. Jackson. Chase said he is not abandoning the Democratic party, but he believes its preservation depends upon the defeat of presidential nominee George McGovern. Reasons Outlined The pronouncements of Sen.

McGovern make it indelibly clear to me that he is using the Democratic Party as a vehicle to create a socialist Republic of the United States, Chase said. The Senator is promising the American people golden eggs without knowing the extent to which the goose can lay them or for how long. Chase said he feels McGovern has made irresponsible promises without disclosing the resultant catastrophic consequences to our economy or our human and material resources. Free enterprise has made this the greatest country on earth. We must preserve it.

Laird suggested today Democratic presidential nominee, George McGovern, has agreed to support the Air Forces new F15 airplane as the price for getting Sen.

Thomas Eagleton as his running mate. Eagleton is from Missouri where the F15 is being built by McDonnell Douglas Corp. of St. Iniis. As president, McGovern has said he would scrap the F15 in favor of development of a less costly lightweight fighter.

Charge Denied McGoverns press secretary, Richard Dougherty, denied the charge. Dougherty, in Rapid City, S.D., where McGovern arrived this afternoon en route to a vacation in the Black Hills, said Lairds statement was unworthy of comment. There was no immediate comment from Eagleton, who was in Washington. At a Pentagon news conference, Laird said: I am led to believe, however, that perhaps the vice presidential candidate in part of his agreement to run was able to get a modification of that position. Source Withheld The Defense Secretary did not say where he got this information or on what it was based.

Laird noted that the F15 is the first weapons system developed under new contracting procedures instituted during his administration for which he claimed complete and total responsibility as Secretary of Defense. St, Louis is known as phan-tomtown, U.S.A., and it will be known as Eagletown, U.S.A., Laird quipped with a play on words and Eagletons name. The F15, dubbed the Eagle by the Air Force at its rollout last month, is intended to replace the F4 Phantom which is also built by McDonnell-Douglas in St. Louis.

Sweig was an aide to the Massachusetts Democrat for 24 years before he was fired in 1969 following charges of alleged use of the speakers office to help friends and clients. The 50-year-old Sweig, imprisoned at the Allenwood farm of this huge penitentiary complex, was met by relatives at the fence gate. I was a model prisoner, Sweig told newsmen as he walked to a waiting car, adding: there is nothing like the outside, nothing like being free. Sweig was convicted in 1970 on one count of lying to a grand jury. He had been indicted on six counts of perjury and one count of conspiracy.

He had been accused of conspiring with lobbyist Nathan Voloshen, then 71 and now dead. Voloshen pleaded guilty and was given a one-year suspended sentence and fined $10,000. Sweig began serving a 30-month term on July 22, 1971. While he was in prison he was named in a new federal indictment that accused him of charged or whehter the hijack attempt is still under investigation.

Mandel, after meeting with the inmate delegation, said he would look into some of the grievances. He said there were 'SAIGON (AP) The father fslain airplane hijacker Nguyen Thai Binh is being held by South Vietnamese police who refuse to give any reason for his detention.

Binhs father, Nguyen Van Hai, was taken into custody the night of July 2, only hours after the University of Washington honor graduate was shot to death aboard a Pan American 747 jumbo jet he attempted to divert to Hanoi. Hais detention and official silence about the case have prompted speculation regarding the circumstances surrounding Binhs death. These suggestions include one that the 24-year-old student was shot for his antiwar views and that the hijack attempt was a cover concocted by U.S. and South Vietnamese officials. Western observers here regard this suggestion as a veiled expression of anti-American sentiment and the facts known about the incident would seem to refute the story.

The Vietnamese often seek complex conspiracies to ei-plain outwardly simple events, and Western-oriented Vietnamese are fond of telling their American friends that the facts are as important as the story that people believe. That helps explain the unrest evident in local newspaper accounts of the Binh case. The Saigon government, in an effort to suppress rumors about the case and stories that tended to vindicate Binh, confiscated more than two dozen editions of Vietnamese-lan-guage dailies that it said were likely" to sow confusion among the masses and harm the national security." The independent a il Chinh Luan cited reports that Binh had been immobilized before he was shot and suggested that if it were true, the hijacking had been transformed into a deliberate murder, a liquidation." The same newspaper railed for the early release of Bmbs father, a clerk-typist in the government civil service, saying: He should not be arrested for his sons crime." There has been no indication when Hai will be permitted to return to his home in Saigon, He has eight other children, Two Associated Press newsmen spent two days trying to locale Hai or obtain an explanation of why he was being held. National police headquarters referred them to Saigon police authorities who referred them to airport police, who said they had turned the case over to the national police.
