2-B PRESS, Binghamton, N.Y. Nov. 1, 1972 Wl IK TT'V AUllllI UCI1 1IIIU 1119 OJJUCCII Chilled Crowd Warms to McGovern Plant Fossil 300 Million Years Old A plant more than 300 million years old has been discovered by two botanists at State University at Binghamton and a professor from Cornell University. Patricia Bonamo and James courthouse, and a pigeon that briefly considered a landing on the building decided to find another spot. McGovern suffered two in- intensity that often rose to a final emphatic clause.

THE PUBLIC ADDRESS system rang through the traffic circle and plaza before the spending and its damage to domestic programs. Its highpoint was McGovern's description of Nixon as "Mr. Veto" and his declaration that voters would be able to "veto" Nixon on Tuesday. Eleanor McGovern accompanied her husband (the day was their 29th wedding anniversary), and she applauded and spoke briefly and bravely in support of the nominee. After the final cheers and waves, the couple retired into the courthouse and supporters moved quickly out of the plaza.

The sky remained sunny, but the air had become bitter cold. Missing Hanley Trips McGovern D. Grierson collaborated with Harlan P. Banks of Cornell in the research project. It involved imbedding fossils in plastics, dissolving most of the rock with acids, and using needles to remove the remaining grains of rock.

The fossil was found by Raymond A. Baschnagel, a Delaware County geologist working at the Blenhei m-Gilboa pumped storage power project site in Schoharie County. The botanists named the plant Leclercqia, in honor of a Belgian paleobotanist, Suzanne Leclercq, who perfected the technique of uncovering fossils with special needles. Because the scientists were able to study the fossil in such detail, the Leclercqia may be the best known lycopod of the Devonian geological period. Probably the most familiar modern lycopod is the ground pine, a creeping evergreen used in Christmas wreaths.

the crowd. "What do you mean?" he asked. "Well, are you eager or anything?" "I don't know," he said, still puzzled. "Are you anxious?" "No." Disappointed, she turned to one of her companions, "Judy, will you give me a quote?" "This is really great!" the girl said. "OK." THE YOUNG reporter said, fingering the words into her notebook.

The arrival of McGovern was greeted by a cheer that left the steps of the courthouse and rose above the crowd in chants of "We want George!" Shorter members of the crowd became frantic for a sight of the candidate. "Oh, I wanna see him, I wanna' see him," a girl said trying to get a toehold on the curb. "Oh, he has a she said excitedly as she got a spot. When asked the significance of her observation, she said, "He has a tan! He has a tan!" The master of ceremonies struggled through an introduction against the cheers, and McGovern soon stood before an attentive audience. After an introduction of visiting mayors, McGovern entered his attack on President Nixon, rolling through long (20-30 sec.) sentences with an terruptions of his speech, one from above and one from below.

As he was discussing Nixon's responsibility for urban decay, peals from the courthouse clocktower spilled down upon the audience. A McGovern aide on the courthouse steps gave a stricken look and disappeared into the building. "That bell could be tolling for the future of our cities," McGovern said, and the audience cheered. As the ringing continued to cover his speech, he said, "I always thought God was with us in this campaign." The second interruption at first appeared to be heckling from the audience, and briefly it seemed McGovern might be a victim of a vengeful repetition of Vice President Agnew's recent heckled appearance in Syracuse. McGovern stopped his speech and asked the shouters what they were saying.

"We need a doctor!" several voices yelled. McGOVERN ANNOUNCED the problem to the audience and paused in his speech briefly as he directed a doctor to the waving signs. He then continued with the observation the President had recently vetoed a bill that was designed to increase the number of family doctors in the country. The speech followed the theme of excessive defense By VV. C.

HERBERT Syracuse Nationwide polls that continue to show Sen. George S. McGovern trailing President Nixon failed to dampen the enthusiasm of the predominantly college-student crowd that greeted the Democratic presidential nominee here yesterday. The gathering stood for more than a half hour under a crisp autumn sun to wait for McGovern. "Let's hear Cornell University," cried the master of cer-e i during the wait.

answered one section of the crowd. "Let's hear Onondaga Community College." "Yeah!" answered other parts of the crowd. "Let's hear Syracuse University." A STATE TROOPER at traded attention among some spectators as he scanned the crowd with binoculars from the top of the Syracuse Courthouse, where the nominee spoke. A young man worriedly eyed the trooper while his wife sat in on his shoulders with a camera. "Wave to the trooper, Rosemary, showed him you're friendly," he said grinning as the binoculars passed in his direction.

Three college girls who said they were journalism majors tried sounding out the sentiment of the crowd. "How do you feel?" one of them asked a man standing in Felony Charge in Siege- Health Department Closes Ilakcry DiNardo's Bakery, 4fi Seminary Binghamton, has been closed by the Broome County Health Department for "numerous violations of the sanitary code and operating without a food service license," Pierson Orr, senior sanitarian, said today. Orr said the bakery was closed yesterday after an inspection Monday. (Continued From Page IB) SYRACUSE The question of who Rep. James M.

Hanley is, and why he wasn't at a rally for George McGovern, caused the Democratic presidential nominee a bit of embarrassment in an exchange with a newsman here Tuesday. Hanley, a veteran New York Democratic congressman, who is faced with a stiff challenge from Republican Leonard C. Koldin in a newly reapportioned district, failed to show up when McGovern came to the heart of his district for a noontime rally in Columbus Square. When McGovern met afterwards with local newsmen for "exclusive" interviews, one of the newsmen wanted to know why. The exchange went like this: "Senator, Congressman James Hanley was not present at the rally today.

Does that disturb you?" "I don't know who he is." "Well, he's from Central New York, a prominent Democrat." "The name escapes me. I don't know how much influence he has or whether he dictates the way people vote." The interview ended here, and McGovern asked permission to re-do the Hanley segment, maintaining that he didn't know the reference was to a congressman. When questioned a second time, he answered: "I wish he had been here, but I had been advised that he had another commitment." The interviewer's tape jammed and the question was posed a third time. The third answer was: "I would have liked him to be there at the rally but he sent word six weeks ago that he had another engagement. I assume that he is supporting the ticket." with the high high-power, sniper-type rifle.

He was ordered by Capt. Jerome McCarthy to hold his fire. I During the time Hanifin was 1 in the office, a total of about 15 shots was heard by police at the scene, they said, adding the shots sounded like .22 caliber gunshots.

Sgt. Robert Me-tera took statements from witnesses until 11 p.m. At that time Hanifin was taken from his cell for questioning. While leaving the cell block, Hanifin said "Nixon paid me to do it. I've got $3,000 in a secret bank account in Mexico." Hanifin was booked shortly after midnight on the charge.

OFFICERS Donald Conklin and Robert Gaffney fired shotgun blasts at a window when they saw Hanifin appear with a gun in his hands, but the police shots would not carry across the street. Patrolman James Conners fired two tear gas cannisters at the window from the top of the opposite building, but both missed their target, falling to the sidewalk. Also stationed on top of the Bonbright building was patrolman Timothy Roberts, armed I 30 NEIl BINGHAMTON I fflMMS FOUR DAYS ONLY! 1 1 Oneoiita Chief Facing Hearing By PETE DOBIXSKY Press Bureau Chief ONEONTA Chief Joseph F.

With few exceptions, trick-o r-t a negotiated the streets in the Triple Cities area safely last night. There were no reports this morning of sharp or dangerous objects being found in trick-or-treat booty.

Johnson City Assistant Police Chief Alfred J. Lamphere commended parents and youngsters for an unusually quiet Halloween, in which only minor vandalism incidents were reported. Binghamton police, with the exception of minor vandalism complaints, reported that Halloween came off smoothly, possibly with fewer Halloween related vandalism incidents than last year. Endicott and Vestal police agencies reported that Hallow-e trick-or-treaters fared well in their localities, without trouble. Only minor vandalism was reported in the two vicinities.

Kirkwood State Police and Broome Sheriff's deputies both said that Halloween was relatively quiet for a change. The only injuries related to possible Halloween pranks occurred about 7:30 p.m. last night. Three Windsor Central School girls were slightly injured when a prankster threw detergent-soaked rags through an open window of the school bus they were riding towards Windsor, Broome County Shcr-. tZ's deputies reported.

The three girls were Debbie Warner, 14; Marcia Conklin, 15; and Sue Brenchley, 15, all 'Windsor Central School students. They were treated at Binghamton General Hospital for eye irritation.
