(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" end 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 ajn. 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 Senate Campaign committees and a Democratic fund-raising group 4 rm. ii l.

(AP) Down 2 Games Battles BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) Gun battles raged through the night in Roman Catholic districts of Belfast and continued today after the British army abandoned its "low profile" and took the offensive against guerrillas of the Irish Republican Army. Three soldiers and three civilians were reported killed, raising the confirmed death toll to 16 since Wednesday and to 432 in the three years of communal violence in Northern Ireland. The army claimed to have hit more than 30 gunmen, but recovered no bodies because the guerrillas carry away their casualties for burial or treatment.

Shooting erupted in all of Belfast's major Catholic strongholds after three battalions of troops invaded the IRA "no go" district of Andersonstown to quell gunmen who had poured intensive fire at an army command post for four days. It was the first time the Shapp Likes Ticket; Caraiel Sees Straggle MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) J. Shapp says the combination of Sens. George McGovern and Thomas Eagle-ton gives the Democrats a "hard-hitting" ticket for the November election.

But the head of the Philadelphia party organization disagrees. "We have two candidates coming from the heartlands of America," City Committee Chairman Peter J. Camiel said Thursday. "It should have been a better balanced ticket." The governor arrived for the closing session of the con vention and a meeting with the presidential candidate to discuss the coming campaign. Shapp also addressed the 200-sharply divided over the choice of a candidate.

"McGovern is our candidate, Shapp told the group. "When I get back home and when you get back, I hope we will roll up our sleeves and start working." Shapp said McGovern would have to broaden his support and get the help from political leaders, such as Camiel, who opposed him. Shapp met with McGovern for about 15 minutes at the can-didates's headquarters. "I told him he had to turn loose of those enthusiastic supporters to do a real job pn voter registration in Pennsylvania over the next 60 days," Shapp said later. The governor said the drive should be aimed primarily at the 18 to 20 year old voters.

Camiel, who was one of the leaders who helped turn the majority of Pennsylvania delegates to Sen. Henry M. Jackson of Washington, said he is ready to work for McGovern now. "Once a decision is reached (Continued on Page 2, Column 8) broke tensions with a quip.

At 15, Eagleton was the tar get of a kidnaping threat while his father was representing the Missouri Senate in an ouster case against a senator accused of soliciting a bribe. He later became an honor graduate of Amherst College and Harvard Law School and attended Oxford University. He served two years in the Navy before opening law practice in St. Louis. Eagleton is married to the former Barbara Smith, 36, a childhood playmate.

They have two children, Terry, 12, and Christin, 8, who is called Christy. Sen. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine was Eagleton's first 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.

The white pieces, and with them the first move, were Fischer's as the loser of the first game. At 5 p.m., the scheduled (Continued on Page 2, Column 3) Congressman Denies Kickback Knowledge Eagleton: Not Yet a Household Word JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) The selection of Thomas F. Eagleton as the Democratic vice presidential candidate climaxed a meteoric rise in politics for the 42-year-old junior from Missouri. At 27, Eagleton was elected St.

Louis County circuit attorney; at 31, Missouri's attorney general; at 35, lieutenant governor; and at 38 Missourians Bent him to the U.S. Senate. Youthful in appearance, Eagleton sometimes has been called a Kennedy-type Demo room Thursday and refused to play unless three cameras filming the match for movie and television sales were removed from the hall. Since the American challenger lost the first game on Wednesday, referee Lothar Schmid's forfeit ruling gave Spassky a 2-0 lead. Schmid said the third game of 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 are also to divide a share of the movie-TV money estimated at a minimum of $55,000.

Fox said Fischer admitted he couldn't 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 The only Americans known to have survived being hit by one of the missiles were two Army pilots whose helicopter gunship crash landed in some trees after a missile blew off its tail boom near An Loc. The Strela has been used most often around An Loc and along Highway 13. It was so ef fective there that midway through the siege of the provin army had entered one of the districts taken over by the IRA. In the past such areas have been off limits to prevent a confrontation with the guerrillas holding sway there.

Protestant militants have been demanding for months that the army go into the no go areas and clean out the IRA. The invasion of Andersonstown will probably intensify the Protestants' demands that the army now go into the barricaded areas of Londonderry that are the most famous symbols of Catholic defiance, the Bogside and Greggan districts, or "Free Derry," as the IRA calls them. Army headquarters said about 700 men remained in control of Andersonstown early today but said it did not know how long they would stay there. The invasion of Andersonstown was ordered by Britain's administrator for Northern Ireland, William Whitelaw, Army headquarters said. It marked a reversal, at least temporarily, of Whitelaw 's policy of reduc crat, but he dislikes being labeled either a conservative or a liberal.

He says his views de: pend on the issue involved. As sociates regard him as liberal on most matters. He called in 1968 for an immediate cease-fire in Vietnam, and was an early advocate of stopping the bombing there. Eagleton also tried to whittle down military spending and succeeded in knocking out the MBT70 tank as a wasteful expense. He advocated wage and price Tuesday and that a large number of Western newsmen saw it.

The broadcast said the newsmen had been taken to the area near Hicp Ca and Nan' Hung villages to see damage alleged, ly done to dikes there by U.S bombs two days earlier. In the ground war, more heavy fighting was reported to day on South Vietnam's northern front, where 20,000 Saigon troops are on a drive to retake Quang Tri Province, which fell to the North Vietnamese May 1. The Saigon command said its troops had not entered the Quang Tri City limits, but re ported a series of battles rang ing from two to 3 miles north east of the provincial capital. Spokesmen said 114 North Vietnamese troops were killed, almost half of them by air and artillery strikes, and 41 weapons captured. Three South Viet namese marines were reported killed and 14 wounded.

A high-ranking South Viet namcse officer was killed and eight other men wounded when a South Vietnamese helicopter crashed southeast of Quang Tri City.

The retaliation began shortly before midnight. A sandbagged Army fortification on Lenadoon Avenue had been under heavy IRA attack with guns and bombs for five hours.

At one stage a rocket was fired' at the post but the missile missed and hit a neighboring house. About 30 soldiers inside held out until some 1,800 men moved up in armored personnel carriers. A soldier was killed and another wounded as the troops occupied the district, but otherwise the task force met little resistance. The army said the IRA was taken by surprise. Andersonstown was quiet after the takeover, but violence immediately erupted in the Ar-doyne, Falls Road, Bal-lymurphy, New Lodge and Divis precincts, and in the city center.

controls to slow inflation. When President Nixon announced Phase I of his economic controls, Eagleton praised the ac tion but told Missourians he hoped it wasn't "too little, too late." Eagleton has worked on labor and consumer issues in the Sen ate. He got the Senate to adopt a clear labeling act. He span sored an amendment, later adopted, that allowed use of federal funds to ease the finan cial strain on school districts caused by public housing projects. As vice chairman of the Senate's air and water pollution subcommittee, he has counted environmental problems as one of his main concerns in recent months.

Eagleton was a principal sponsor of the Clean Air Act of 1970 and was an author of the Water Pollution Act of 1971, which is still pending in a con ference committee. As chairman of the Senate committee on the District of Columbia, he pushed through a consumer protection act and got the Senate to adopt a home rule bill for the district. As lieutenant governor of Missouri, Eagleton presided over the state Senate with a flair.

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.

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 kickbacks until they were exposed by columnist Jack Anderson.

He said one of Haag's first acts when he came to Washington was to raise his own salary from $18,000 to $25,000 by falsifying his House payroll card. "I think George just liked to live high off the hog," Collins said. The former administrative aide admitted he knew that two House pay forms were false, that he altered one of them himself and that he knew kickbacks were to be returned from the House pay checks. But he testified he was only acting under Collins's orders.

The four-man committee sup ported the decision of chief referee Lothar Schmid to award the game to Boris Spassky because Fischer failed to appear. The decision left Fischer two games down in a 24-game match where Fischer needs the equivalent of 12 victories and a draw to take Spassky's title.

Fischer stayed in his hotel choice for the Democratic presidential nomination, but after Muskie withdrew, the Mis-sourian joined the forces of Sen. George McGovern. Hanoi Radio Features Talk by Jane Fonda TOKYO (TP) Actress Jane Fonda has gone on Radio Hanoi and denounced the U.S. bombing of dikes in North Vietnam, the Vietnam News Agency reported today. The agency said the broadcast was directed to "all the U.S.

servicemen involved" in raids against North Vietnam. Earlier, the agency reported that Miss Fonda had visited an area east of Hanoi where dikes had been damaged by U.S. planes. Miss Fonda was quoted as saying "there are no military targets" in the area. current offensive the others include long-range artillery, medium tanks and wire-guided missiles.

Military sources estimate that more than a dozen U.S. aircraft and at least that many South Vietnamese helicopters and planes have been downed by Strcla missiles since they appeared on' the battlefield in early May.

$1 Million Tat Albert' Bomb Scores in Vietnam Reds Have New Heat-Seeking WASHINGTON (AP) Texas Congressman James M. Collins has denied any knowledge of an $18,000 kickback scheme' for which his former chief aide was convicted Thursday. The aide, George A. Haag, contended throughout his four-day trial that he carried out the kickback scheme at the direction of Collins, a millionaire Republican from Dallas. Haag, 33, stood tight-lipped and erect as the jury foreman repeated "guilty, your honor," to 20 counts of mail fraud, two counts of using falsified House payroll forms and one count of obstructing justice.

His wife cried softly. He faces a maximum 15-year prison sentence under terms set by U.S. District Judge Oliver Gasch, but lawyers said they believe he would get less than five. An appeal is planned. No date was set for sentencing.

Haag testified that Collins concocted the kickback and cial capital, U.S. helicopters quit flying in the area, and spotter planes were forced to operate at 10,000 feet, above the estimated range of the missile.

Marland W. TownscndJ commanding officer of the carrier Kitty Hawk, said the first six Fat Alberts released scored direct hits against their targets and reduced the risk that American pilots would be hit by ground fire. Townsend said four bridges were downed and two military supply buildings were destroyed by the bombs. "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 U.S. Command announced, meanwhile, that U.S. pilots carried out 270 tactical air strikes against targets inside North Vietnam Thursday. Radio Hanoi claimed that 14 U.S. warplanrs bombed a section of dikes in North Vlet-bum'a Hal Huni Province on Bonds for Hijackers SAIGON (AP) Hanoi's introduction of a heat-secking Soviet antiaircraft missile into the Vietnam war is generating considerable concern among U.S.

and South Vietnamese commanders and has brought about some drastic changes in their fliers' tactics. The weapon is the SA7, or "Strcla" a Soviet missile which the North Vietnamese fire from the shoulder like a bazooka. It is much like the U.S. Redeye missile. The Strela is equipped with an infrared homing device that is attracted to the heat given off by an aircraft engine and carries a high-explosive warhead.

It has proved very effective, especially against the comparatively slow helicopters and propeller planes, officers say. Some officers consider it the most effective of the several weapons used for the first time by the North Vietnamese in the The two walked down the rear ramp stairway of the jetliner at 4 p.m. C.D.T., almost eight hours after it first touched down on the small airstrip owned by Dow Chemical Co. in this town 50 miles south of Houston.
