"I have a memo from OEO on what's permitted and what's not permitted," he said. "This (his letter) clearly falls within the area of permitted activities." Berwald said he spent $61 of his own money to send out the letter, but did not mail it to any of the 13 Legal Aid attorneys whom he supervises.

"I made it quite clear that I was sending the letter as my personal expression," Berwald said. (Fannin asserted he signed it with his job title.) Asked if he composed the two-page letter in the Legal Aid office. Berwald replied, 'i think I did, after office hours." Did he utilize other Legal Aid employes? "My secretary worked on it, and docked herself an hour ol previously earned overtime," Berwald replied. Berwald said the Legal Aid Society Board met June 29 and took no stand on his letter.

In Legislator wants 'breather' Floor battle also in store for McGovern Associated Press MIAMI BEACH, Fla. -The Supreme Court received yesterday the tangled case of Sen. George MeGovern's contested California delegates, while the politicians did business as usual and lined up rival forces to battle the issue at the Democratic National Convention.

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 McGovern won in a primary election, lest in the party Credentials Committee, and regained in a federal appeals court ruling.

At least 151 of the 271 California delegates are at stake, and on them hinge. MeGovern'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 votes 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, will abide by the law of the land once the courts decide and their lawyers interpret what it is. But he indicated that Humphrey lawyers will be looking for leeway to take heir 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. "We think we have the votes to win," Salinger said. Mike Maloney. a top Humphrey strategist, claimed "the coalition majority" of rivals and critics aligned against McGovern would fashion a substantial margin to deny him the disputed California votes. At issue in the seating controversy is the winner-take-all system under which MeGovern's California primary plurality awarded him all 271 nominating votes.

The Credentials Committee voted instead to apportion the delegation among all the primary candidates on the basis of their popular vote shares.

Speaker Tim Barrow to A federal investigation was begun yesterday to determine whether the executive director of the Maricopa County Legal Aid Society violated the law in urging the recall of Gov. Williams. Bruce Berwald, i the legal aid offi- i a 1. responded I ihat he has done nothing wrong. status remained in doubt.

Both federal and Legal Aid officials said he verbally has submitted his resignation after 10 months in 1 1 Berwald job. Berwald said, "At this point in time, I have not resigned, although I intend to." Berwald. 31, got in hot water when he sent a letter to 306 Legal Aid executives and employes throughout the United Statps, including live in Arizona, last month. The letter said in part. "I would urge you to provide whatever moral or financial support you can to pursuing the current drive to obtain sufficient signatures on petitions to recall the governor of Arizona." The recall effort is being pushed by segments of the Democratic Party and by the United Farm Workers at least partly because Republican Gov.

Williams signed a farm labor reform bill in May immediately after its passage, ignoring a UFW plea to delay until the organization could discuss it with him. Rerwald's letter endorsed the UFW efforts and urged participation in a boycott of nonunion grown lettuce. U.S. Attorney William Smitherman said in Tucson that he has asked the Federal Bureau of Investigation to look into the letter, which was sharply criticized by U.S. Sen.

Paul Fannin in a Senate speech June 28. U.S. to check airport plans for security By STEVEN TRAGASH A master plan tightening ground security at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport has been submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration for review. Airport Director William J. Ralston said the plan was prepared by his staif in compliance with a new set of federal regulations calling for increased security at airports to thwart plane hijacks, extortion and bombings.

The FAA, Ralston said, will review the plan and cither accept or reject it, probably by mid-August. "The security plan is designed to prevent or deter unauthorized persons or vehicles access to air operations areas," the airport director said. An operations area, he added, is any portion of the airport used or intended to be used for landing, takeoff or surface maneuvering of aircraft. Ralston said the present 20-member airport security staff will increase pa-troling activity at all entrances, exits and ramps and near large aircraft. If an unauthorized person is tound in the restricted area.

Ralston said, the person will be subject to prosecution. The airport director said no increase in the security staff is planned. He said airport officials will rely on the Phoenix-Police Department in emergency situations. The master security plan also will require identification and authorization of all airport personnel, Ralston said. The plan also prohibits anyone from driving a vehicle in the air operations area without permission of an airport employe, a police guard or an airline representative.

Reluctant to put a price tag for the new ground security program, Ralston estimated it will cost the city about S10.000 a year if it is approved by federal officials. The city's security plan, Ralston explained, will complement security plans required of all of the "nation's air carriers under federal regulations.

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.

A hijacker SAX armed with a pistol seized control of a Pacific Southwest Airlines jetliner yesterday with 58 persons aboard, demanding $450,000 and a single parachute, the airline said. It was the second hijacking of a PSA airliner in as many days.

San Diego, California. 500 miles across the heart of An airline spokesman said the money and parachute were ready when the plane landed here at 8:29 p.m. After a few minutes of negotiations between the hijacker and airline officials, the gunman allowed 31 persons, mostly women and children, to leave the plane.

The plane, a three-engine Boeing 727, was parked about 500 yards from the Lindbergh Field terminal, and three Federal Bureau of Investigation agents armed with rifles with telescopic sights waited nearby. A PSA psokesman said the man had not said whether he wanted to be flown elsewhere. On board the PSA flight from Oakland-Sacramento were 51 hostage passengers and six crew members three men and three women, the airline said. Two armed hijackers were shot to death by FBI agents Wednesday at San Francisco International Airport. A passenger was fatally wounded there by one of the hijackers before being gunned down himself, the FBI said.

Two other passengers were wounded. The gunmen in Wednesday's hijacking had demanded $800,000 and passage to Siberia, authorities said. Yesterday's was the fourth hijacking of a PSA plane this year. By BERNIE WYN'N Republic Political Editor Speaker Tim Barrow, R-Phoenix, will not seek re-election to his eat in the Arizona House of Representatives, taking time, instead, to think about his political luture. The 38-year-old investment counselor easily could have been re-elected from his heavily Republican north side district.

He is completing his third consecutive term. Barrow. 6846 X. Fourth was elected from Legislative District 19. Barring some unexpected political shift 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. Some have urged him to run for Congress; others have suggested he would make a fine governor. A few disgruntled Long, name causes furor for phone firm HARRISBURG. Pa.
