PSA president J.

Floyd Andrews said the airline asked the hijackers "if they would let the women and children olf. and they replied that none wiil be allowed to leave until the demands are met." Pilot Walker said one hijacker was doing all the talking and that be appeared "very calm, very deliberate," Kissel said. There was only water and other drinks but no food aboard the plane, Kissel said. He said one of the hijackers was in the cockpit monitoring news reports of his own actions on a local radio station. Another PSA spokesman said it was difficult gathering maps for Siberia.

Kissel said the 737 was refueled and had a range between 1.400 to 1.500 miles. It could" make the flight to Siberia only by making refueling stops, he said pilot's uniform, approached the airliner with bags containing the ransom money and parachutes demanded by the hijackers. The hijackers demanded that he strip to his shorts to show that he was not armed. When the men felt certain he was not armed, they allowed him to re-drcss and enter the plane, not knowing he had a small pistol in a coat pocket. The agent entered the plane and was escorted toward the rear section by Azmanoff.

Meanwhile, one of three FBI agents hiding under the plane sneaked up the ramp through the open door and confronted Alexiv, who was in the cockpit, fronted Alexiev. who was in the bockpit. in each hand, raised the weapons and was shot twice in the chest with shotgun blasts. The second hijacker then opened fire in the rear of the plane, striking the three passengers before he emptied his automatic. Azmanoff pulled a knife and headed toward the front of the plane while the FBI man with the shotgun rushed toward the rear.

The agent fired a blast but the hijacker ducked behind a panel that ab sorbed the blast. When the agent posing as a pilot approached Azmanoff, the hijacker threatened him with the knife. The agent shot him four times, twice in the head. 'Certainly we're not pleased that three passengers were wounded, but somebody had to make a decision. We wanted to stop the hijacking, and stop it we did," Gebhardt said.

The hijackers, armed with three handguns, took over the Boeing 737 yesterday morning on a flight from Sacramento to San Francisco. PSA spokesmen said. They demanded the cash along with passage to Siberia via Canada and Alaska and refused to release passengers before their demands were met, said PSA spokesman Gary Kissel. Three ambulances rushed to the plane, along with two large buses, to take passengers to the terminal. Kissel said.

The plane sat on a runway more than a mile from the San Francisco International airport terminal for more than four hours while one of the hijackers sent demands through the pilot, Capt. Dennis Waller of San Diego. plastic bomb that "could have blown the aircralt to smithereens." The object was not a bomb, authorities said. The idea of going to Hanoi, as demanded by Binh. a recent University of Washington honor's graduate, "never crossed my mind," the pilot said.

"No threat he would have made would have made me go to Hanoi," he emphasized. By talking to Binh before landing at Saigon, Vaughn said he was able to determine that the Vietnamese "was a political activist he wanted to be a live hero, not a dead hero." This helped him get near enough Binh to grab him and hold him, he said. The shooting was unavoidable, he said. The pilot readily admitted that he told the ex-policeman to "kill the s.o.b.." but he added "I didn't order him executed I'm not a murderer. You may say something sometimes you would like to backtrack on as far as the language you use," he added.

The incident occurred after Vaughn had landed the Pan Am 747 jumbo jet at Saigon on the pretext of needing to refuel before proceeding to Hanoi. The pilot said he threw Binh's body out of the aircraft at Tan Son Nhut Airport, "not in anger," but because of the "indignity and mental hazards" that the hijacker had caused 13(i passengers and the 17-member crew.

A mother and her 18-month-old baby were among the passengers, all of whom escaped through emergency escape chutes after stewardesses thought the gunfire was the sound of the bomb going off, Vaughn said.

McGovern's political strategists said the court ruling that he is entitled to all 271 Calilornia nominating votes would spell first-ballot nomination for the senator from South Dakota when the national convention chooses its man in one week. The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington overruled the action of the Democratic Credentials Committee which had voted to strip McGovern of 151 of the Calilornia delegates. With that verdict, McGovern's delegate strength in The Associated Press count of first-ballot votes vaulted to 1,436.65 only 72.35 away from the majority it will take to name the nominee.

McGovern strategists claimed even more delegate votes, and Rick Stearns, their chief head-counter, said the restoration of the California votes "puts us over the top." McGovern won the June 6 primary which, by state law. awarded the victor all 271 national convention votes. But the credentials panel, in a political power play McGovern called a rotten steal, voted last Thursday to apportion the delegates on the basis of the candidates' finish. The Court of Appeals declared the Credentials Committee action null and void. "This decision reaffirms the choice of the California voters and the rules of the Democratic Party," said McGovern in a statement issued through his Washington headquarters.

Chaban-Delmas, whose dynamic war effort made him a brigadier-general at the age of 29, became premier when Pompidou succeeded De Gaulle as president.
