YOU'LL have to give it to Sen.
George McGovern. He came
down and faced the noise-
makers headon. That took guts
And he did a pretty good job of
talking the distractors down. If
the main prerequisite of being a
President is talking down the
noise-makers then McGovern is
qualified. That guy is a cool cat.
He’ll be difficult to defeat. Do
you suppose that demonstration
was planned with George
emerging as the hero’

3 Contests
For County
THAT WAS SOME emotional
appeal made by the wife of the
POW during the Wednesday
night affair. The GOP will
probably come up with an ap-
peal from a similarly situated
person of ill fortune. Politics has
no inhibitions when it comes to
trying to snare a voter.
-0O0-
SEN. TED KENNEDY turned
down the nomination for vice-
president. Could this mean that
Kennedy doesn't think
McGovern can win? if so, he
might not want to be a part of a
losing ticket. It would affect his
chance in four years. On the
other hand if McGovern wins it
will mean eight years before
Kennedy would have another
run at the nomination. And, too,
the way we shoot politicians in
this country it must be
remembered that being Veep is
only a heart beat away from the
White House
Two Face
Robbery-
Charges
Two Wagoner residents
suspected of robbing an elderly
Bristow woman in her house
Tuesday were scheduled to be
brought to Bristow today to face
charges.
Ray Cooper, 16, and Johnny
Horton, 22, both of Wagoner,
were named in charges of
robbery by force Sheriff Brice
Coleman said they were to be
brought from Craig county
where they faced other charges,
and probably would be returned
there after their arraignment in
Bristow.
Two intruders broke into the
home of Mrs. Ethel Cradduck,
77, on Highway 66 at the north
edge of Bristow. She was beaten
with the blunt end of an ax and
robbed of $70, Coleman said.
Mrs. Cradduck was taken to a
Bristow hospital where her
condition was described as good.

MIAMI BEACH (UPI)-_
George S. McGovern inched
toward selection of a running
mate today, with close advisers
unable to agree immediately on
who he should be.
McGovern faced a 4 p.m. EDT
deadline in his search for a vice
presidential candidate ac-
ceptable to both the coalition of
discontent which nominated him
and some Democratic old pros
who doubted he could beat
President Nixon Nov. 7. Con-
vention rules require that he
submit his choice three hours
before tonight's closing session
starting at 7 o'clock EDT.
McGovern staff members and
advisers, including actress Shir-
ley Maclaine, sat around a
conference table in McGovern's
17th floor penthouse for nearly
two and a half hours this morn-
ing—with McGovern else-
where in the suite —going over
at least a dozen names of
potential No. 2 candidates.
The meeting broke up without
priority recommendation being
agreed on, according to Mc-
Govern aides.
Kennedy Says No
There was one firm no to the
nominee —from Sen. Edward M.
Kennedy. But Kennedy said he
would fly from Massachusetts to
the convention hall, once the
specualtion over No. 2 was end-
ed, to endorse McGovern in
person.
High up in speculation about
veep possibilities were Rep.
Wilbur D Mills of Arkansas,
President l^eonard Woodcock of
the United Auto Workers Union,
Sen. Abraham Ribicoff of
Connecticut, and Gov. Patrick J,
Lucey of Wisconsin.
Mills, who earlier had said he
could not share a ticket with a
man he differed with ideologi-
cally, remained silent But his
aides stood by at his hotel,
dearly hoping the powerful
congressman would be tapped.
While advisers haggled over
1 who they thought the No. 2 man
should be, McGovern worked on
a plan to take his appeal for
campaign funds to the American
people.
GOP Takes Action
He plans a direct mail effort
designed to raise $25 million
outside regular -^and perhaps
foreclosed —party channels.
Some of the men McGovern
bested for the nomination, in-
cluding Sen. Henry M Jackson
of V, ashington and Gov. George
C. Wallace of Alabama,
remained unreconciled. But
Wallace at least reported
backing away from the third
party effort his aides had earlier
called a growing possibility.
While the McGovern camp
tried to consolidate its victory,
President Nixon's operatives
were already in Miami Beach
R
attempting to cash in on anti
McGovern discontent.
Interior Secretary Rogers C.
B. Morton—a member of the
Nixon re-election committee
said it was a “ferti.e field" of
dissatisfaction which the GOP
could work.
In a living room crowded with
kinfolk and confidants,
McGovern watched his nomina-
tion on television under the heat
Reds Nix
Opening
Proposal
and glare of television lamps
recording the moment.
After 18 months, starting from
nowhere, the candidate of
discontent had won His eyes
shone bright with emotion. He
kissed his sisters and his nieces
and shook hands with the men,
then went back to writing on a
yellow pad with a felt-tip pen the
acceptance speech he will
deliver tonight.

By United Press International
Two men believed armed with
a bomb, a pistol and a shotgun
hijacked a National Airlines
passenger jet today, demanded
and received a $600,000 ransom
and parachutes, and then forced
another National airliner from
Philadelphia to Texas.
The plane, with six crewmen
held hostage, landed at a small
commuter airport 50 miles south
of Houston. It blew out four tires
on landing and officials said it
could not possibly take off again
because of the airport's size.
Authorities also said there were
no facilities at the airport to
refuel the craft.
About the same time, a gray-
haired man surrendered after he
succeeded in obtaining a $200,000
ransom from American Airlines
in Oklahoma City following the
hijacking of an American 727.
PARIS (UPI)—The Vietna-
mese Communists today reject-
ed President Nixon’s latest
peace plan as an "unreasonable
and absurd" ultimatum and said
they will settle for nothing ex-
cept acceptance of their own
plan.
North Vietnamese negotiator
Xuan Thuy and Madame
Nguyen Thi Binh, the Viet Cong
foreign minister, turned down
Nixon’s plan and pushed their
own, long-rejected peace pack-
age, when the Vietnam Confer-
ence resumed after a 10 week
suspension
The Communist delegations'
stand, coupled with a violent
condemnation of U.S. air strikes
in Vietnam, failed to move the
conference off dead center as
had been hoped in Washington.
Taking an unusually harsh
tone, Madame Binh charged that
President Nixon’s eightpoint
plan proposed Jan. 25 and
calling for new presidential
elections in South Vietnam, was
aimed merely at maintaining
U.S. control of the country.
"The demand for an imme-
diate ceasefire to come before
an accord on military and
political questions on conditions
put forward by Mr. Nixon on
May 8 and June 29 is in fact
nothing but an unreasonable and
absurd ultimatum,” she said.
She said the ceasefire called
for again today by U. S.
negotiator William J. Porter and

OKl-AHOMA CITY (UPI) -
Democrats have cinched control
of the next state senate and are
virtually assured of winning a
majority in the house, a recap of
filings for state office showed
today.
Twenty nine legislative can-
didates. including 26 Democrats
and three Republicans, escaped
without opposition.
A total of 335 persons filed for
the legislature during the three-
day filing period which closed
Wednesday. The house, which is
being expanded from 99 to 101
members was the favorite,
drawing 269 candidates. There
were 66 senate candidates.
Republicans stand a mathe-
matical chance of winning con-
trol of the house, but it would
require a major upheaval. It
would take a GOP victory in at
least 48 of the 53 districts in
which Democrats and Republi-
cans are pitted against each
other to give them the needed 51
seats.
the first National craft the two
black men hijacked while during
a flight over New York jumped
through a window to escape
while the craft was on the
ground in Philadelphia.
The two men then transferred
to another plane with six crew
members as hostage. The 113
passengers of the original craft
were set free.
After the second plane landed
in Freeport, the flight engineer
was shot and wounded and the
copilot was pistol whipped Both
were taken to a Freeport
hospital
In both cases passengers had
been released and the crew held
as hostages.
Both incidents began Wednes-
day night when the hijackers
seized the planes and demanded
final approach to John F
Kennedy Airport in New York.
Two armed men, demanding
three parachutes and $600,000,
some of it in Mexican pesos,
diverted the plane to Philadel-
phia where it landed while of-
ficials scurried about in an at-
tempt to procure the money.
Melvin Marvin Fisher, 49, of
Norman, Okla., was charged
with air piracy a few hours after
the plane landed At his ar-
raignment. U. S. Magistrate
Charles R. Jones set bond at
$100,000 for Fisher, a father of
five
The FBI said the hijacker was
given one parachute and $200,000
in an old mail pouch.
