(AP) Republicans hope, and many Democrats fear, that Democratic presidential nominee George McGovern is a Barry Goldwater of the left, an extremist doomed to defeat so overwhelming he will carry much of his party down with him. Parallels do exist with Gold- broad and basic. Goldwater was carried by his followers to a presidential nomination he never really wanted.

Like Goldwater, the liberal McGovern started with the narrow support of what was considered an extreme fringe of his party. Like Goldwater, he is a pleasant man, with support from devoted followers.

As they did for Goldwater, supporters of McGovern packed the caucuses and state conventions to squeeze delegate representation often far beyond their real support among voters. And like Goldwater, McGovern became leader of a deeply divided party with many key figures saying he not only He represents the majority party that, even while divided, gives him a far stronger starting point than the divided and minority GOP gave Goldwater eight years ago. nomination was fashioned in the confines of caucuses and conventions.

(AP) Many delegates who helped make George the Democratic presidential nominee are gjratefully nearing the end of their struggle to keep financially afloat in this high- cost resort city. Many raised transportation money with difficulty and literally too sure where their next meal was coming from when they got here. Delegates traditionally meet their own expenses.

(AP) McGovern forces are asking wealthy individuals for $4.5 million in loans this week, kicking off a fund-raising strategy partly styled after Republican methods that have brought millions from the rich to President campaigns.

A private meeting of select fund raisers for Sen. George McGovern was told the financial goal for the fall election campaign is $36.5 million, with $15 million of that to come from large donors. This is an apparently reluctant switch for the populist McGovern, who raised more than 80 per cent of his pre- Democratic Convention funds from small donations solicited by direct mail.

American politics will never be the same he said.

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts, to whom McGovern first offered the vice presidential nomination, flew to Miami to present McGovern to the Democratic National Convention in a show of party solidarity. Eagleton said he wa.s flabbergasted when McGovern phoned to offer him the vice presidency. The only real business left for the convention was to ratify nomination and hail in person the nominee whose name was newly emblazoned in two-foot-high orange letters on a sign behind the platform.

In his acceptance speech, McGovern spoke of the issue on which his long-shot presidential candidacy was founded: the Vietnam a democratic nation, no one likes to say that his inspiration came from secret ar- a nts behind closed McCiovern said. in a sense, however, that is how my candidacy began.

The airliner was disabled in landing and the pair later freed three hostage stewardesses and It was one of two separate skyjackings that began almost simultaneously Wednesday night. Both ended with the sky pirates giving up, and with no loss of life. Two male crewmen on the National plane were injured by the hijackers, however. Piror to their surrender, the National hijack team sought to make a deal with the hostages and a small fortune in ransom money in exchangee for a private getaway plane piloted by an agent. The airport at Lake Jackson, was too small to safely handle a replacement aircraft the size of their tri-motored 727.

A black FBI agent was flown in from Baltimore to aid in the negotiations as the two Negro hijackers kept altering their demands. Also brought in was a Dallas psychiatrist, an expert on the thought processes of aerial hijackers. Earlier, a man in a pink shirt with an empty pistol lost his nerve after commandeering an American Airlines New York- to-San Diego jet. He surrendered himself and $200,000 in ransom and was held in $100,000 bail after a tearful court appearance in Oklahoma City. Between them, the hijackers demanded $1 million in they settled for less than that.

Both planes involved were Boeing 727s. Before their release, 164 passengers in the two planes were at the mercy of the three gunmen. In both cases, passengers complained of lax security that enabled the skyjackers to walk aboard with their weapons. One reportedly concealed a sawed- off shotgun in a cast and sling on his arm. Another apparently wore a gun holster.

Some National passengers also complained because the lot, Elliott Adams, abandoned his aircraft by diving to freedom through a cockpit window while the plane was on the ground at Philadelphia. He said the aircraft was virtually out of gas, and he feared subjecting the passengers to a crash if forced by the hijackers to take it aloft again. A copilot, Norman Regan, captained a substitute 727 jetliner which carried the skyjackers on a meamlering route that eventually brought them down at a small airport in Lake Jackson, about 50 miles south of Houston. They found themselves jetliner out of gas, two tires blown, on a runway too short for a 727 to take off. Regan was badly beaten by his captors before being released, and his flight engineer, Gerald Beaver, was shot and wounded.

The American Airlines hijacker, Melvin M. Fisher, 49, a Norman, painter and the father of six, brought his empty pistol aboard at Oklahoma City, apparently in a holster. Fighting Rages North Of City Of Quang Tri SAIGON (AP) South Vietnamese marines battled enemy infantrymen Thursday in a third day of heavy fighting north and northeast of the city of Quang Tri, field reports said. Associated Press correspondent Dennis Neeld reported that the marines claimed they killed 118 enemy and knocked out five tanks in a series of clashes several miles outside the northern provincial capital. Marine casualties were said to be 6 killed and 27 wounded.

Ranking military sources on the northern front said the government drive into Quang Tri Province has made some progress during the past week but conceded the enemy remains in control of the city. are that the North Vietnamese are going to defend Quang Tri right down to the one source said. Capt. Gail Furrow, a paratrooper adviser at the front on Vietnam Reopens PARIS (AP) The Vietnam peace conference reopened Thursday after a lO-week break, with both the Communists and allies clinging to old positions. But the U.S.

delegation spokesman termed the session businesslike. The negotiators agreed to hold a new meeting next Thursday. This reinforced speculation that a new round of secret and possibly more fruitful talks may be pending. Politburo member Le Due Tho of North Vietnnam, who has held a series of meetings in the past with Henry A. Kissinger, left Peking on Thursday en route to the southern edge of Quang Tri, told Associated Press correspondent Richard Blystone that progress has been slow but measurable.

The North Vietnamese are putting up stiff resistance despite constant pounding by air strikes and artillery. Field reports said an American jet accidentally bombed government lines south of the city and U.S. air strikes were temporarily suspended to coordinate the scores of planes striking the area. The U.S. Ctommand confirmed that one soldier was killed and one wounded in the incident, but a spokesman said he confirm the report of a suspension of the bombing.

The command, in a second revision of its report on a marine combat assault north of Quang Tri Tuesday, acknowledged that 2 marines were missing and a total of 10 were wounded when their helicopters put South Vietnamese marines on the ground under heavy enemy fire. The Viet radio Thursday claimed the government battalion that landed in the area wiped out with 450 killed and wounded, including many The marines acknowledged more than 100 killed and wounded in two days of heavy fighting after the landing. Both sides have been known to exaggerate enemy losses and minimize their own. In the air war, American fighter-bombers and B52 Strato- fortresses pounded North Vietnam Wednesday in their heaviest raids in more than a week, leaving fuel depots, pipelines and warehouses in flames. The U.S.

Command reported more than 340 fighter-bomber (Turn To Page Eighteen) (See Peace Conference To Same Old Tunes Paris.

Instead there were the familiar polemics that have marked the conference during its years. There was no evidence to support a July 8 statement by Kissinger, President adviser, that he had some reason to believe Hanoi would take a when the talks resumed.

(UPl Telephoto) Protest Costs Fischer Game REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Objecting to movie cameras in the hall, Bobby Fischer forfeited the second game of the world chess championship Thursday. By failing to show up, Fischer gave Boris Spassky a 2-0 lead in the scheduled 24-game series.

Lothar Schmid, the chief referee, told reporters: match is not finished. We will now have the third game on The Russian won the first game Wednesday. According to the rules Spassky must have 12 points to win. Fischer, the challenger, needs This means 10 more unplayed games may be required if Fischer continues his boycott. Schmid left open the possi- blity that the International Chess could intervene and decide on disqualification if the situation persists.

Ten minutes before the scheduled start of the second game, Fischer informed the organizers of the championship through a U.S. chess official that he was boycotting further play unless three hidden movie cameras were removed from the sports palace. Spassky entered the hall on time and took his place at the table. At the end of an hour, Schmid announced to an angry crowd: and gentlemen, Mr. Fischer did not appear in the playing hall.

According to Rule No. 5, if a player is more than one hour late he loses the game by Richard Stein, lawyer for American promoter Chester Fox, said did everything we to appease Fischer. Fox, who bought exlusive film rights for the match, reported that Fischer admitted he could not see or hear the cameras but they bothered him because he knew they were Northern Bloodbath Resumes BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) Three battalions of British troops, supported by armored vehicles, swept into a Roman Catholic stronghold in Belfast late Thursday night after a raging gun battle witli guerrillas of the Irish Republican Army. Army headquarters reported that about 1,800 troops quickly established control of a four- mile-square area of the Ander- sonstown Catholic zone. One soldier was believed killed in the assault.

A spokesman said that as the troops moved in, a fierce battle broke out between soldiers and IRA gunmen the Catholic Lower Falls region of Belfast. This evidently was an IRA diversionary tactic, he said. Heavy shooting also was reported in other areas of Belfast. The penetration of Andersons- town was the first military operation of its kind carried out by soldiers since Brit, ain imposed direct rule on Northern Ireland more than three months ago. Military headquarters said the invasion of longtime IRA carried out on express orders from William Whitelaw, the British administrator of Northern Ireland.

He was 9 fourth soldier to die in nearly 200 shooting incidents which also killed six civilians. The violence surrounding mass parades Wednesday by Protestants made it one of the bloodiest days in the three years of communal strife. Eleven British soldiers were wounded in sniper attacks that continued until dawn Thursday. At least 427 persims have tost their lives in the fighting. Humors of clandestine meetings between the British and leaders of the Irish Republican Army have been rife since the IRA chief in Belfast, Seamus Twomey, called for a new truce Wednesday.

Twomey said his forces might consider renewing the cease-fire they ended Sunday after 13 days if British troths stick to truce terms barring them from arresting IRA men. British government spokesmen here and in London said there was no truth to reports of new secret contacts with the terrorists. Conservative government has been criticized for sending reprgptn- tatives to meet secretly with the IRA leaders last week.
