It was the first stiff resistance the South Vietnamese paratroopers have encountered since they began tightening their grip on the southern sdges of the city three days ago.

Germany (AP) Chancellor WUly Brandt today appointed Defense Minister Helmut Schmidt to replace Karl Schiller as economics and finance minister, the government announced. Schiller, a free-marketer, resigned after the Cabinet last week adopted moderate restraints on the Inflow of foreign currency. Schiller said this would lead to the extensive controls favored by France and other European countries. Sanford Movement Formed WASHINGTON (AP) Andrew Miller, attorney general of Virginia, has announced formation of a Terry Sanford for President Citizens Committee. Sanford, former North Carolina governor and now president of Duke University, can unify the Democratic party, Miller said Thursday.

Listed among members of the committee are former New Jersey Gov. Richard Hughes, newspaper publisher Hodding Carter, educator James B. Con ant, former Civil Aeronautics Board Chairman Charles Murphy, and Wilbur Hobby, president of the North Carolina AFL-CIO and unsuccessful Democratic gubernatorial candidate. By NEIL GILBRIDE AP Labor Writer WASHINGTON (AP) AFL-CIO President George Meany headed for the Democratic National Convention today, reportedly determined to block the presidential nomination of Sen. George McGovem.

Driven by personal as well as GEORGE MEANY wishes on major Issues. "I'm going along with Meany, whatever he does," said the chief of one large construction union, who asked not to be quoted by name. Another source said, "If McGovern gets the nomination, it becomes a competition between McGovern and Nixon, and labor simply couldn't be neutral or for Nixon." Others consider neutrality a real possibility. The support of the 13.6-mil-lion-member federation of 129 unions and its money-raising Committee on Political Education is considered crucial to the chances of any Democratic nominee to defeat Nixon in November. COPE mailed out 50 million pieces of political literature in 1968 and was credited with almost swinging the presidential election to Sen.

Hubert H. WASHINGTON (AP) An officer of the Air Line Pilot Association suggested today that travelers boycott air lines that are unwilling to spend enough money for strong ground security against hijackings. Al Bonner, ALPA first vice president, said a boycott of such air lines would bring about a definite improvement. He did not identify the air lines ALPA considers to have inadequate ground security. "Last month air line crews throughout the world stood up to the hijack menace in a one-day shutdown of air service," Bonner said in a statement.

"The public, we feel, should stand up with us by refusing to fly on airlines that continue to put economic gain before the security of their passengers," he said. "Many carriers are demonstrating a sincere effort to tighten up their security," Bonner "Yet others are holding back. Safety costs money, and they apparently are not willing to spend it." Bonner said that, although President Nixon ordered an increase in airport security four months ago and the airlines were directed to step up pas Kennedy to Get First 'No' On V-P Question bilities special session to consider ap value of polls ordered by McGovern on other possible running mates, declaring it is impossible to measure the value of possible candidates who are not so well known, such as Govs. Reubin Askew of Florida and Dale Bumpers of Arkansas.

Despite Kennedy's repeated statements he won't be available, the offer will probably be made because polls show he would strengthen a McGovern-led ticket, the sources said. The sources discounted the By CARL P. LEUBSDORF AP Political Writer MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) -Sen. Edward M.

Kennedy will still have "first refusal" on the vice presidential nomination if Sen. George McGovern captures the Democratic presidential nod, sources close to the political antipathy, the labor titan has launched a drive that commands the sympathies of most union presidents if not their wholehearted support. Some have voiced misgivings that an unrelenting anti-McGovem campaign could destroy a tenuous party unity and encourage the re-election of President Nixon, like McGovern the target of numerous Meany barbs. If McGovern wins the nomination despite Meany, labor leaders would be confronted with limited options, none palatable to them. Meany and his chief political strategist, Al Barkan, were counting on union presidents to sway convention delegates away from.
