(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 food land it can be." It was nearly 3 a.m. when the beaming ncGovern, 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 par ty'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 Senate Campaign committees and a Democratic fund-raising 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 Utah national committeewoman, to take the job if O'Brien declines. McGovern also had to decide on a chairman for the Democratic National Committee.

The committee, meeting for the first time under newly adopted erganizational rules, held a session this morning taken up with procedural matters but adjourned for lunch without getting around to election of officers. McGovern had pressed Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien to stay on at the DNC, but O'Brien was reported reluctant and informed sources said if he resigned McGovern would ask Jean Westwood, the Utah National Committeewoman, take tha job. to In the Tinal moments of the convention that his supporters dominated all week, triumph belonged to the time college South Dakota. the one- professor from Waves of applause rocked the hall as Hubert H.

"Senator McGovern's ultra- liberal stand on many important issues has alienated South Dakota voters in both the Republican and Democrat camps," Thompson said. "Even Governor Kneip is having a hard time trying to justify the Senator's approach to some social issues." Thompson also said McGovern does not stand "a ghost of a chance" against President Richard Nixon.

He said South Dakota voters will served as cochairman of the Governor's Conference on Education and Governor's was head of Commission the on Crime and Juvenile Delinquency.

Haag testified that Collins concocted the kickback and payroll manipulation scheme to pay $13,000 in bonuses to workers in his 1968 campaign and also to build an office slush fund. But Collins, who was not called to testify, told a news conference following the verdict that he had never promised campaign bonuses to anyone and did not know of the backs until they were exposed by columnist Jack Anderson.

He said one of Haag's first acts when he came to ton was to raise his own salary from $18,000 to $25,000 by falsifying his House payroll card.
