Afternoon and evening cloudiness with some scattered showers or thundershowers are predicted for today. Strong, gusty winds may accompany the thunderstorms.

Rec. 5C Tucson Today 10A Sports 1-6D TV-Radio 131) Women 1-4C Index MIAMI RKACH, Fla. (AP) Sen. George McGovcrn recaptured in court Wednesday the California delegate sweep he won at the polls, and said he hoped the verdict would point to a victorious Democratic campaign for the White House. The Democratic Party immediately acted to appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court on grounds the party and its convention should decide who casts presidential nominating votes.

'The courts should not get involved in selecting delegates," Joseph A. Califano counsel to the Democratic National, Committee, said in Miami Beach. The Court of Appeals late Wednesday ruled that its order would not take effect until 2 p.m. EDT today, to permit time for the appeal. Actually, the overnight stay is onlv a technicality, because the Democrats don't open JTIOHl thnir rnnvpntinn until 1nn.

m. I mil McGovern's political strategists said the court ruling that he is entitled to all 271 California nominating votes would spell first-ballot nomination for the senator from South Dakota when the national convention chooses its candidate in one week. The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., overruled the action of the Democratic Credentials Committee, which had voted to strip McGovern of 151 of the California delegates. With that verdict, McGovern's delegate strength in the Associated Press count of first-ballot votes vaulted to 1,4:16.65 only 72.35 away from the majority it will take to name the nominee.

McGovern strategists claim 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. "I hope now that the convention can proceed in a lawful, orderly and satisfactory manner to ratify a platform and nominate a candidate who can take that platform to the country in a victorious campaign in the fall," McGovern said.

An appeal to the Supreme Court would require a special session of the court, now in adjournment, something that has happened only three times before. The Supreme Court is in summer adjournment and only three times in U.S. history has it reconvened in special session, which is what the Democrats want. Califano, who conferred first with Lawrence F. O'Brien, the party chairman, said, "We feel this case is as compelling and more compelling" than cases that have led to extraordinary court sessions in the past.

The Democratic counsel has not argued the wonder just how much and for how long they might depend on keeping 40,000 American troops on hand to support the idea that a United Nations command still exists to defend South Korea. The North Koreans could wonder just how far they could trust the Russians or even the Chinese, for that matter in the long pu)J. The tone of the North's propaganda indicates they trusted the Russians far less than the Chinese. For anxiously watching Koreans, North and South alike, Nixon's Guam doctrine implying withdrawal from the Asian mainland, along with his approaches to Peking and Moscow, would tie in with a U.S. attempt to disengage in Vietnam.

It would suggest to Koreans that the United States would try to coexist with the two great Communist powers. The Russians would opt for what George Ball, the veteran U.S. diplo II 71 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Two armed hijackers were shot and killed by FBI agents Wednesday after one gunman fatally wounded a passenger and shot two others on a commandeered Pacific Southwest Airlines plane, authorities said. The hijackers had held 79 passengers and five crew members captive in the 737 jetliner for more than six hours on a runway at San Francisco International Airport, demanding $800,000 cash, two parachutes and passage to Siberia, PSA said. FBI special agent-in-charge Robert Geb-hardt said that after the two hijackers refused to release passengers, FBI agents entered the plane.

One was dressed as a pilot, Gebhardt said, and was carrying the ransom money and parachutes. He said one of the hijackers ordered the agent to strip to his underwear to show he was unarmed. The first agent entered the plane, Gebhardt said, and was followed by three other agents who had landed from a power boat behind the plane and reached the ramp under the fuselage. Gebhardt said the first hijacker, who was armed with two pistols, was shot dead by the second agent to enter the plane. He said the second hijacker opened fire from the rear of the plane, hitting three passengers before he, too, was shot down by an FBI man.

The dead passenger was identified as E. H. Stanley Carter, 66, of Longueuil, Quebec, S. Viets Repel Enemy Attacks At Quang Tri Compiled from Wire Services SAIGON South Vietnamese forces held the edge of Quang Tri City early today and beat off enemy attacks on their eastern flank. Field reports said more than 100 rounds of mixed artillery, rockets and mortars hit Hue in the predawn darkness, most striking in and around the old walled section known as the Citadel.

There was no immediate report on casualties or damage. Spokesmen said enemy shells struck a military hospital in the Citadel Wednesday, wounding 11 patients. The walled area was the seat of Vietnam's emperors in the last century and now is a military headquarters. In the air war over North Vietnam, the U.S. Command announced the heaviest raids in weeks against three major depots within four miles of the center of Hanoi, the North Vietnamese capital.

Meanwhile, state department officials said Wednesday there was a strong likelihood that North Vietnam would be flooded later this summer, but they put the blame on North Vietnam's dike system rather than American bombing raids. State department officers did not deny that some bombs were falling on the dikes, but they again insisted that there has been no systematic targeting of the dike system which runs throughout the Red River Basin. North Vietnam, in recent weeks has mounted a major international campaign accusing the United States of deliberately bombing the dikes to precipitate flooding during the monsoon season which has just begun. Last summer, when there was no American bombing of North Vietnam, that country suffered its worst flooding in many years. Administration experts believe the dikes were heavily damaged by those floods and have backed up their views with articles that appeared in the Hanoi press.

Reliable sources said Lt. Gen. Ngo Quang (Continued on Page 9A, Col. 1) mat, calls "benign coexistence." The Chinese, for their own particular national purposes, would not rock the boat of their own developing new relations with the Americans. If all this has caused North and South Korea to start something moving, where would that leave North Vietnam? The North Vietnamese would see the other ideologically divided nations, Korea and Germany, moving toward a form of coexistence that could benefit each and remove a threat of providing a flashpoint for world conflict.

It is possible that North Vietnam, feeling a bit alone, could be moved to start thinking along lines of ending an enormously extravagant expenditure of wealth, manpower and energies in favor of some sort of negotiated workable agreement, making Hanoi free to rebuild for a better chance of success at some future time. Road Toll High Holiday traffic accidents took a record number of lives for an Independence Day weekend. Authorities reported that 758 persons were killed on the nation's highways during the four-day observance which began at p.m. Friday and ended at midnight Tuesday. The previous record for a Fourth of July weekend was 732 in 1967.

when the holiday also ran four days. The count last year, a three-day observance, was 838. Boeing To Sell Jets To Peking ti 972 New York Times News Service NEW YORK The government has granted the Boeing Co. a $150-million export license covering the proposed sale of 10 Boeing 707 jet airliners to China. Now that the United Slates has given its approval, industry sources expect that the deal will be closed by the end of the summer.

Negotiations have been going on in Peking since April. The sale would represent a massive breakthrough in trade between the United States and China. Trade had been frozen by an embargo imposed by this country when Communist China entered the Korean War more than two decades ago. Reliable industry sources disclosed that 10 long-range Boeing 707's four standard passenger versions and six with beefed-up floors and extra-large doorways for conversion to all-cargo use were involved. Each has actively sought the other's scalp.

In 1968 a specially trained terrorist squad of North Koreans set out to blast its way into Blue House, the presidential mansion in Seoul, on an assassination mission. It was wiped out a block away from its target. Thereafter, the report was that Park had to be restrained by the Americans from mounting a similar effort against Kim. The two sides still denounce one another and it is clear that one of agreement is far from making a summer of peace. What may be particularly significant about this surprise outburst of cautious smiles is that it follows secret North-South talks begun in May at the precise moment Nixon was in Moscow meeting with Soviet leaders.

That summit, along with the previous Chinese-American meeting, evidently had some sort of catalytic effect. South Korean leaders may have begun to The FRI identified the dead hijackers as Dimitr Alexiev, 28, of Hayward, and Michael Azmanoff, 28, no address. The injured passengers were identified as Leo R. Gormley, 46, of Van Nuys, and Victor Sen Yunug, 56, of Universal City, who plays the cook in the television series "Bonanza." Both were listed in fair condition. In San Diego, PSA President J.

Floyd Andrews, said: "The FBI took this out of our hands and directed the action. They stormed the aircraft and in the ensuing melee, the hijackers were shot and the passengers injured." "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. Three ambulances rushed to the plane, along with two large buses, to take passengers to the terminal, Kissel said. The hijackers, armed with three handguns, took over the Boeing 737 Wednesday 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. The pilot, Oapt. Dennis Waller of San Diego, (Continued on Page 6A, Col. 4) would suggest that Communists in general have been taking careful looks at their future in a rapidly changing world situation. Of course, there is a long distance to peace between South and North Korea.

They have been living in a state of dynamite-laden truce since July 27, 1953, after three years of bloody carnage. Each is headed by a tough leader who considers himself passionately devoted to reunification on his own terms. Kim II Sung, the iron-fisted Communist die-. tator who glories in the title of "great leader of the people," was 60 last April. He may be impatient about his prospects for achieving his dearest goal: A unified Korea under his domination.

At 54, Chung Hee Park, president of South Korea, is a stubborn, taciturn, wiry little man who is probably just as eager to see Korea unified, but under his own brand of somewhat authoritarian leadership. Korean Detente May Ease Vietnam Conflict By WILLIAM L. RYAN AP Special Correspondent If those two bitterest of enemies, the North and South Korean regimes, can talk about reunification, it would seem that nothing is impossible in world affairs these days. Even peace in Vietnam. There is a good argument for the idea that the Koreans' agreement to begin talking about reunifi cation will be one more in a series of developments putting pressure on North Vietnam to weigh carefully the possible advantages of a negotiated settlement.

The fact that Pyongyang and Seoul could agree even to talk is astonishing. It will be widely interpreted as a spinoff from President Nixon's visits to Moscow and Peking. If so, it News Analysis.
