A young pun-man hijacked a Pacific Southwest Airlines jetliner in San Diego and collected $450,000 and a parachute. He ordered the plane flown to Oakland, where it landed early Friday. The plane touched down at Oakland International Airport, where the hijacker apparently was waiting for a helicopter that he had demanded.

In Legislator Avanls 'breather' Speaker Tim Barrow to colleagues have recommended he run for the Mexican border. He plans to spend his spare time for the next two years in building a volunteer organization to educate and inform citizens about the operations of the legislative branch of government. Barrow believes too few citizens understand the importance of lawmaking. Consequently, he says, they do not take part in the legislative process very often and when they do their efforts are clumsy and ineffective.

He tentatively is thinking of organizing a speaker's bureau and a newsletter and special educational program for high school seniors. Elected speaker two years ago, Barrow was chosen mainly because of his pleasant personality. But he also proved to be pretty tough when some members got the idea he was a pushover. When the House Appropriations Committee rebelled on the last night of the first regular session. Barrow put down the revolt with firmness.

It was at this point that he established himself, as a leader. Beacon installed leave House "What was your greatest discovery during your term as speaker?" Barrow was asked. "The greatest lesson I learned as an individual is that the art of compromise is not just the art of giving in," he answered. "I found that the answer is listening to other people, really listening to them. It's amazing what good ideas others have if you listen." Barrow is the son of Charles Barrow, wealthy Litchfield Park industrialist and philanthropist, now retired.

But he struck out on his own as a teen-ager, turned to professional investment counseling, and today he's independent financially. In his last act as speaker. Barrow will strike a blow for the better education of the young. He'll have enclosed in non-shatterable glass one half of the House gallery for the special seating of schoolchildren during the legislative sessions. Included will be a high fidelity audio system to let the students hear what is happening on the floor.

And it will permit the Capitol guides to explain the legislative process to the students without disturbing House proceedings or annoying other gallery visitors. International uction has been in the discussion stage for some time. But today the National Aeronautics and Space Administration took the idea beyond the talking stage by awarding A. D. Little, Cambridge, a $197,400 contract for a six-month study of its feasibility.

The concepet to be explored by A. D. Little would involve the launching of "very large" power plants into fixed orbits from which they supply the earth with a steady and virtually inexhaustible source of nonpolluting energy. The study will explore among other things ways of managing and controlling "very large structures in space" and how to make the power-from-space system "economically spite of gale-force team working a flashing island 280 miles McGovcrirs case is nyen to high court Associated Press MIAMI BEACH The Supreme Court received yesterday the tangled case of Sen. George McGovern's contested California delegates, while the politicians did business as usual and lined up rival forces to battle the issue at the Democratic National But it remained unclear whether the courts or the convention would deliver the ultimate verdict in a delegate-seating dispute important to the contest for the presidential nomination.

Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey's campaign manager. Jack L. Chestnut, said there may yet be a convention floor contest over the California delegate sweep Mc-Govern won in a primary election, lost in the party Credentials Committee, and regained in a federal appeals court ruling.

At least 151 of the 271 California dele-gales are at stake, and on them hinge McGovern's hopes for first-ballot victory in his quest for White House nomination. Chief Justice Warren E. Burger stayed implementation of a lower court ruling returning to McGovern the 151 otes the Democratic Credentials Committee took away. Burger was contacting the other eight justices to determine whether there was sufficient support for an extraordinary special session of the court, something that has happened only three times before. Chestnut said Humphrey and his allies, in the effort to deny McGovern the 151 California votes, wiil abide by the law of the land once the courts decide and their lawyers interpret what if is.

But he indicated that Humphrey lawyers will be looking for leeway to take their case to the convention floor. "What's one man's loophole is another man's right," he said. Pierre Salinger, a McGovern aide, said the front-runner's forces are operating on the assumption that there will be a convention vote on the seating issue. That means counting delegates, checking commitments, and applying political persuasion. Both sides were at it.

Barring some unexpected political shirt this fall, he also could have been returned by a Republican majority to the speakership office for two more years. Barrow is not tired of public life and he concedes that in the future he will resume public service in some form.

But right now he says he wants "a breather" to take stock of himself and where he believes he can be the most effective.
