Robert B. Cline, 28, an insurance man, and his wife, Phyllis, 27, a school teacher, were arrested at their home in MacArthur earlier in the day by agents of the Office of Drug Abuse Law Enforcement. Investigators said a wooden crate containing more than two kilos of cocaine was opened at Port Columbus airport last week.

It had been shipped from South America. Part of the cocaine was removed, they said, and the crate was resealed and delivered. A preliminary hearing for the couple was set for July 14.

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

Some have voiced misgivings that an unrelenting anti- McGovern 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.
