FAA Seeks New Measures To Restrict Carry-On Bags WASHINGTON (AP) The Federal Aviation Administration has asked the airlines new measures to prevent weapons from being brought aboard airplanes in carry-on luggage. And several airlines have taken some steps to do so.

Citing the alarming number of hijackings carried out with arms or explosives concealed in hand-carried luggage, FAA Administrator John H. Shaffer asked the airlines to consider a "voluntary program to bring about a very significant reduc-1969, tion in such baggage." "If a passenger insists on carrying baggage into the cabin. it should be searched." Shaffer said in a letter to Stuart G. Tipton, president of the Air Transport Association. "In order to insure the integrity of a search, the carry-on baggage should be sealed and the unbroken seal shown to the cabin attendant during the boarding process." Shaffer added that if the airlines feature baggage storage in the passenger cabin, the stowage bins might be locked at the point of departure, and the keys to the bins left on the U.

S. Funds Approved For S. C. WASHINGTON (UPI) Federal grants and loans totaling $1.406,205 were approved Friday for South Carolina projects. The bulk of the funds, a $1,113,000 loan from the Rural Electrification Administration (REA), was approved for the Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative Inc.

of Pickens. The loan will provide for 99 miles of new distribution line and system improvements to serve 1,050 customers. The Appalashian Regional Commission (ARC) approved grants totaling $293,205 for South Carolina projects. A $27,530 grant was approved for the Easter Seal occupational therapy center at the Anderson County Memorial Hospital. A $100,000 ARC grant was approved for the purchase of instructional equipment at six vocational centers located in the Appalachian region of the State.

A $121,697 grant was approved to fund the second year of a para medical manpower program at Greenville TEC. And a $43,978 grant was approved by the commission for a patient aftercare and referral program at Spartanburg. ground at that station. Thus the bins could be unlocked only by the ground service agent at the point of arrival. "We fully realize the inconvenience to the passenger, from facilitative and work-habit aspects, in carrying material into the cabin." Shaffer said.

"However. we further realize that carry-on baggage has been a very prominent aid to the hijacker and criminal Shaffer said that from July 1, through June 2, 1972. there were 95 hijackings, of which 15 occurred under circumstances not related to preboarding screening. Of the 80 remaining instances, 28 have been definitely identified as resulting from weapons brought aboard in. or alleged to have been contained in, carry-on baggage.

Shaffer said the FAA would prefer to avoid making a new rule in this regard. "But urge that the carriers promptly examine this problem and adopt a system as soon as possible whereby we can eliminate carry-on baggage as a tool to the hijacker or ex- tortionist," he said. Tipton, in reply, said he agrees in principle with Saffer's proposal and would see that the matter has priority on the agenda on forthcoming airline conferences. Tipton pointed out that his association's newly formed working group of airline baggage and security officers held its first meeting here this week. shortly after receipt of Shaffer's proposal, and already has the matter under consideration.

And airline industry official who declined use of his name said quick action to restrict carry- baggage could be ex- pected, "The typical businessman likes to carry his attache case on the plane, and that seriously slows up the boarding process under the new inspection rules for shuttle flights," he said. "You can expect some new ruling soon." United Air Lines, the nation's largest carrier, said Thursday it would employ personnel to inspect luggage, by persons boarding flights and continue its policy of making spot checks of passengers boarding its other flights. American said it is inspecting all baggage at boarding gates for 727 flights and broadening hand-luggage inspection on other flights. The 727 has been a particular target of hijackers because of its rear door which can be. and has been, used for parachute escapes by extortionists.

Eastern Airlines is inspecting all such luggage on its BostonNew York-Washington shuttle flights in accordance with President Nixon's instructions of last Friday. But the airline said it is not currently planning to conduct similar inspections on its system generally. have at all our gates, other magnetometers, airlines do not, yet," an Eastern spokesman said. "Furthermore, we have great faith in the use of the hijacker profile on our regular flights, although we cannot use it effectively on shuttle In the first six months of 1972. he said, 488 persons were detected by Eastern through the profile application and then identified as carrying narcotics or concealed weapons, or as being fugitives from justice or military personnel absent without official leave.

Fischer Criticizes Chess Organizers REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP)- Bobby Fischer charged on Friday that tournament organizers seemed to "upset and provoke me" deliberately, but an appeals committee rejected his request to replay the chess game he forfeited to Boris Spassky. The world champion from the Soviet Union was awarded Thursday's second game in the championship match when Fischer refused to appear, staying in his hotel suite, because he objected to three moving picture cameras in the hall. Thus Spassky, who won the first game, was 2-0 in the 24- game series. He needs 10 more points to retain the title. A victory counts one point and a draw half a point.

Fischer agreed to go ahead wtih the match if the cameras were removed, although the movie television rights allowed the Icelandic Chess Federation to offer a record $125,000 purse for the two players. Gudmundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic federation, said that if the match was stopped by Fischer's disqualification the organizers would not pay the loser's share.

The North Vietnamese and Viet Cong delegates to the talks hewed closely back" well-worn positions dating more than a year. There was no sign of progress toward a negotiated settlement. Faced with very similar circumstances in the past, U.S. Ambassador William J. Porter Calley Funeral Secret GAINESVILLE, Fla.

(AP) Family members kept secret Friday funeral arrangements for the father of Lt. William L. Calley, a key figure in the My Lai massacre trials. William L. Calley in a diabetic coma, died of a respiratory arrest late Thursday night, several hours after his son was released from house arrest at Fort Benning, to visit him briefly.

Sources at Ft. Benning said Calley, 29, would not attend his father's funeral. The lieutenant had first planned to go and the Army had planned to fly him here, but he decided against attending because of the public attention his appearance would bring to the rites. Calley made his decision Friday afternoon after consulting by telephone with his sisters, the source said. A spokesman at the Thomas funeral home declined, "at the request of the to say when or where the funeral would be.

The elder Calley, 58, a widower and unemployed salesman cf heavy construction equipment, was admitted to the hospital for the fourth time June 13. He had come here from Hialeah, to live with his daughter, Mrs. James E. Keesling. After his father lapsed into a coma, Lt.

Calley was allowed to leave Fort Benning, where he is under house arrest pending appeal of his, conviction in the murder of civilians at My Lai. He arrived here Thursday in an Army plane and was taken to the hospital in an unmarked police car, accompanied by two men, one in uniform. Mrs. Keesling, his sister. greeted him at the hospital with a kiss on the cheek and he went into his father's room for 30 minutes.

A hospital spokesman said the father was unconscious at the time. After the death of his wife, the elder Calley moved from North Carolina to live with his daughter, Dawn, in a Hialeah trailer park. When the massacre charges were filed against his son, the owner of the trailer park said Calley became depressed. been retreating more and more into a she said at the time in late 1969.

Grants Announced For Aid Programs GREENWOOD Supplemental grants for two financial assistance programs at Piedmont TEC have been announced by Lex D. Walters, TEC director. The funds were awarded by the federal Department of Health, Education and Welfare.

A supplement of $2,277 will go to the College Work Study Program, boosting its total to $49.195. Extra funds of $6,519 will be applied to the Educa-150 tional Opportunity Grants program to bring its total to $10.044. Funds in both programs are available to deserving students with financial needs. and his spokesman have blasted the Communists, calling their attitude "boilerplate" and "bombast." But Porter, who has gained a reputation as a tough talking negotiator, meekly told newsmen he would make no comment on the latest apparently futile session and said instead first "we'll have a look at the record." Porter's new spokesman, David Lambertson, obviously acting orders, went so far as to call Thursday's session "businesslike," a term which has rarely if ever been employed by an American to characterize any of the 150 sessions of the talks. Lambertson would not say why he thought Thursday's sion deserved his positive sounding description.

A search of American state-, ments made at Thursday's session shows that could be labeled polemical. At the last previous session, May 4, when the United States broke off the talks indefinitely, there were such remarks as "we got propaganda and bombast and not one single word substance" from the other side, instead only "sterile propaganda." On the other hand, the Communists Thursday trotted out their charges of "genonly ocidal" and "barbarous" war BACK IN ALABAMA Aides lift Alabama Gov.

But there was a remark made by Hanoi delegate Xuan Thuy which caught the ears of his listeners. He told Porter: "You and we must discuss matters in more detail and must reflect The American attitude and Thuy's remark may indicate that both sides are preparing the ground for new secret talks, an agenda for which may already have been drafted in diplomatic exchanges during the 10-week gap in the Paris conference.

(AP) Delegates to the quadrennial conference of the United Methodist Church, through four ballots Friday, failed to elect a bishop of the United Methodist Church's Southeastern Jurisdiction. Four of the six to be elected had been chosen through the first 14 ballots from Tuesday through Thursday night. A 19th ballot was to be taken later Friday.

The fourth bishop was elected Thursday night, but the result of the vote was not announced until Friday morning. He is 55- year-old Rev. Edward Tullis. pastor of the First United Methodist Church at Ashland, Ky. He received 342 votes against 319 needed to elect.

Sixty per cent of votes cast are required. He was one vote short on the 13th ballot and was elected on the 14th. Runnerup in the 14th ballot was the Rev. Frank L. Robertson of Valdosta, who received 252 votes.

Car-Bus Accident Kills 3 MEMPHIS, TENN. (AP) The collision of a Greyhound bus and a car just outside Memphis Friday left three persons dead. The victims included an Oklahoma woman and her teen-age nephew. Nineteen others were injured or shaken.

was the second major accident in the state involving a Greyhound bus in two months. Fourteen were killed in east Tennessee May 13. State troopers said witnesses told them the car was swaying on U.S. 78 with a flat tire seconds before it collided headon with the Memphis-to-Atlanta bus carrying passengers from about a dozen states. The impact sent seats on the bus skittering around inside the vehicle.

Those killed and most seriously hurt were in the front of the bus, troopers said. Its chassis was buckled in the middle by the force of the crash and the car became a mass of mangled metal, they added. Two of the dead were aboard the bus; the other was the driver of the car, officers said. It took seven ambulance crews more than one hour to take the dead and injured from the scene, Trooper R. F.

Yoakum said. A hospital identified two of the dead as Omar Kenyatta Jr. of Columbus, Ohio, driver of the car, and Larry Leonard, of Commerce, Okla. A spokesman said papers indicated Kenyaita may have been known by other names. Late Friday, troopers said they had identified the third victim OS Gladys Leonard of Commerce, aunt of Larry Leonard.

Troopers said the bus veered out of control after the collision, sheered off a power pole, crashed through a fence and stopped in a field. Electricity to the suburb of Capleville was knocked out by the crash, officers said, and traffic on the busy highway was tied up for hours. Troopers said 19 persons were taken to hospitals and most were treated and released. Among those hospitalized was the bus driver, Cornelious Harris of Memphis, who troopers said was thrown through the windshield. Others hospitalized were identified as Donald Spoon, 5, of Hot Springs, who underwent surgery, and Erwin Jones of Winter Garden, who was listed in good condition.

Johnny Trusty, 34, operator of a service station near the scene, said he saw the car involved go past at high speed, even though it had a flat tire. "It had a flat on the right front tire, was swaying all over the road, and it was making all kinds of noise you wouldn't imagine," Trusty said. Then there was a noise witnesses described as sounding like a sonic boom and electric power ceased. The accident May 13 involved a Greyhound bus which collided with a truck near Bean Station, northeast of Knoxville. That crash left 14 dead and 15 injured.

Farm Workers Union official said Friday. However, an Associated Press survey of supermarket chains across the country indicated the boycott thus far is having little effect. "When we plan a boycott, we plan for a couple of years," said Marshall Ganz, director of the farm workers international boycott program. "The succees of the boycott depends on reaching many, many Americans and convincing them not to eat lettuce." that doesn't bear the UFW label, Ganz added. "Something like this is tremhelpful," he continued, referring to Kennedy's salute.

Kennedy, who introduced Sen. George McGovern when he made his acceptance speech at the convention early Friday, echoed sentiments expressed by members of numerous state delegations, including California, New York, Illinois, Tennessee, Rhode Island and Oregon. McGovern also has come out in support of the boycott. "We're very pleased with it," said Ganz. "Most of the delegations and many of the Democratic state conventions endorsed the boycott and urged people not to buy "The Democratic party is the largest political organization in the United States," he added, "and having that kind of support and the fact that it's endorsed right in the platdorm is very helpful.

We're waiting to see what the Republicans are going to do." The boycott extends to all lettuce which does not carry the UFW's stamp, Ganz said. About 15 per cent of the total lettuce crop in California and Arizona is harvested by ers which have contracts with the UFW, he added. However, many other growers have contracts with the teamsters, which has led to a jurisdictional dispute between the two unions. Ganz said the current campaign is directed primarily at the general public, asking people to sign a pledge not to buy, non-UFW lettuce. Each pledge that is signed, he added, costs a grower about $15 a year in lost sales.

In Philadelphia, a spokesman for Food Fair, which has Pantry Pride and Food Fair stores across the nation, says the chain stocks both union and nonunion lettuce. But most of their lettuce. he added, is picked by the United Farm Workers. Penn Fruit, a large chain in the Atlantic states, carries only UFW lettuce, said a spokeswoman, who added, "We've told their people they are welcome to come into our warehouses and look and check out our crates." But a boycott worker disputed her claim, saying the stores carry lettuce harvested by non-UFW growers. A produce manager at a Safeway market in Seattle said his store carried local lettuce but noted "the boycott still is hurting business, I think.

Nobody knows it's local lettuce." In Albany, N.Y., the produce manager at an A warehouse said the boycott was having no effect, adding that "all I've heard about it has been on radio and television." Grand Union, another chain in Albany, said it had noticed no effect. In Los Angeles, only one major chain carries UFW lettuce exclusively, and it asked not to be identified. Others in the area carry both union and nonunion 'lettuce. Anderson Quads 'Doing Just Fine' Anderson Bureau ANDERSON-The quadruplets born Wednesday to a Clemson couple were "just doing fine." attaches of Anderson Memorial Hospital said Friday night. "We are real pleased with their progress," a supervisor said.

The four babies, two girls and two boys, were born Wednesday to Mrs. Ruth Nodine, 21-year-old wife of Capt. Gerald Nodine, stationed at the Army Reserve Training Center at Clemson. The young mother, whose babies were delivered at intervals of four minutes, is in excellent condition, hospital authorities said. She probably will be able to go home in a few days, but the babies, who were premature, will remain in the hospital for some time.

For Blacks ATLANTA, Ga. (AP)' A three-year project to encourage enrollment of blacks and other disadvantaged groups to enroll in the South's college-based schools of nursing has been undertaken by the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB). "SREB has an ongoing project in nursing education, which involves representatives of nearly 200 collegiate schools of nursing." said Dr. Winfred L. Godwin, president of SREB.

"One of the chief concerns of this project has been the need for tapping the large source of nursing manpower that exists among disadvantaged persons in the South." As part of the new program, which is supported by a $570 grant from the Division of Nursing of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, three college-based nursing programs will be selected for special SREB assistance. SREB will assist in planning, developing and conducting programs in nursing for students from disadvantaged environments, said Godwin. Enrollment Program Under Way Fellowship; Joseph A. Edwards.
