Unlttd Prait IntanMllMil PHOENIX, Ariz. The only way to reduce airliner hijackings is to order the execution "without any loopholes" of all hijackers, according to a pilot who helped kill a hijacker in Saigon. Gene Vaughn, a Pan American jet captain, returned home yesterday after foiling the attempted hijack of his plane by a Vietnamese.

He found his home in nearby Scottsdale had been vandalized, apparently in retaliation for his role in the hijacker's death. Animal intestines, paint and broken bottles were poured lies living in areas inhabited by both Protestants and Catholics. The Catholics cited an increased number of such incidents with the approach of the July 12 anniversary of the Battle of the BoyneVa Protestant holiday. Catholic spokesmen also condemned plans to extend barricaded areas of Belfast and said it could only increase fears of Roman Cath United Prest International BELFAST A Protestant threat of more barricades today prompted British authorities to create a public protection agency to combat intimidation against Roman Catholics living in mixed areas. A government spokesman said the agency would be open around the clock to hear complaints from people fearing sectarian harassment.

The UDA has set up five such areas since Friday in Belfast, Londonderry and Por-tadown.

A UDA spokesman said temporary barricades would go up in other areas of Belfast this weekend and in one unspecified area they; would be permanent. PEACE, GRACE The statement said that after the weekend, the UDA would observe a 14-day "peace and grace" period to allow the July 12 parades by the Protestant Orange Order to proceed. Such celebrations, marking the victory of Protestant forces led by King William III in 1960 have in the past set off some of the worst fighting between Roman Catholics and Protestants. The army said a patrol came under sniper fire early today in the Protestant martin Estate. The soldiers did not return the fire but later reported more gunfire which they said they presumed to have been aimed into the adjacent Roman Catholic Ballymurphy district.

The Coordination Center for Catholic Relief said that in the past week, 41 Roman Catholic families have moved out of Protestant areas, into Catholic neighborhoods where they feel safer. Protestant families have also moved out of Catholic neighborhoods. A truce between the Irish Republican Army (IRA) and Protestant forces has been in effect since June 26. A total of 403 persons have been killed the three years of sectarian strife. diving board.

Vaughn's only comment was that there was no way of knowing who was responsible, or if there were will be more such incidents.

"It wasn't done in anger," Vaughn said. "The situation was so objectionable, the passengers had been subjected to such a terrifying experience, I felt it was an offense to the human race and had to get the guy out of my presence." LAUDED Airport onlookers applauded Vaughn's statement. 5 "A lot of time and effort has been spent on trying to pre-vent hijackings, but the only thing that will be effective is a mandatory death, penalty for any hijacker without any Vaughn said. He said he did not think the one-day strike the International Airline Pilots Union staged in some countries last month was strong enough action. "To make it effective, every pilot in the United States would have to walk off the job (Continued from Page One) to be en route to San Diego with his wife.

After landing, then taking off and circling San Francisco for an hour, the plane sat for five hours at the end of the runway while negotiations by radio -continued and the money and materials were collected. DRESSED AS PILOT Under orders "from the hijackers, who sought an "International pilot," a FBI agent dressed as a pilot approached the plane carrying the money, Gebhardt and Dave Gardella, the airline's security director, said. After stripping to his under-.

In the meantime, three other agents had landed from a power boat in San Francisco Bay and approached the plane from its rear, where they could not be seen from inside. At the last moment, they rushed up the stairway behind the negotiator, the FBI said. One hijacker stood in the open door.

Air Force pilots destroyed the 96-foot Vu Chua Railroad bridge 38 miles northeast of the North Vietnamese capital and only 15 miles from the Chinese border, spokesmen said. A command communique said other Midway pilots reported four explosions after hitting the Nam Dinh petroleum storage area 28 miles southwest of Haiphong.

They also reported knocking out four barges moving on rivers within 14 miles of the port Hue' exceeded the previous four-day total of 107. Military spokesmen said It was the first time' since the 1968 Tet offensive the city had been hit as hard. The North Vietnamese began shelling Hue Sunday four days after 20,000 of the city's 30,000 defenders were thrown into the drive to recapture neighboring Quang Tri Province. Fourteen persons have been killed and 45 wounded in the attacks. The first on Hue since the Communist offensive in the South began March 30.

Field reports said 70 of the shells fired today were unex-ploded duds. But the shelling of the old capital raised allied concern that Communist forces would attack the city, its defenses snapped by the Quang Tri push. Air Force Phantoms reported destroying a Soviet-built 130mm gun yes terday 11 miles southeast of the city proof of allied reports that the highly accurate 130mm are within range of the city. They have a maximum range of 17 miles. The attack began after two South Vietnamese paratroop battalions and a tank company yesterday pushed into Quang Tri city, 32 miles north of Hue.

Military sources said 1,200 soldiers in three hour3 moved the last half-mile from the suburb of Mai Linh to Quang Tri City. They met only light resistance. The entire province, the only one still in Communist hands, was overrun by an estimated 48,000 North Vietnamese a month after the offensive began.

However, in Sacramento, Humphrey's top California ad-' visers said today they will op-; pose a convention floor fight over George McGovern's disputed delegates if the federal courts rule they should be seated. "If the courts say something is legal or illegal they prevail.

That's our system. Once the courts take jurisdiction over something they are the final arbiters," said Humphrey's chief California fundraiser and adviser, Beverly Hills attorney Eugene Wyman. Wyman contended the appeals court decision was "in error" because "The convention rules should be made by delegates and not judges." "Nevertheless," said, "the final decision is now in the hands of the courts. Whatever that decision is we will abide by it without rancor or recrimination." Asked whether' that meant no floor fight, Wyman replied "That's correct."

She said she asked a stewardess where they were going. GOING NOWHERE "Nowhere, ma'am; We're just flying," was the reply. "I knew we were in for it then," Mrs. Stone said. When the shooting started, she said, "I hit the floor and prayed hard." She said she heard a man across the aisle scream that he'd been shot.

"I started to look up, but there were more shots, and I started to cry," Mrs. Stone said. "I just fell on the floor," Bill Corcoran, Sacramento another passenger, said. "I was really bored," said 12-year-old Aaron Marcus of Sacramento, en route to San Francisco to visit his father. "I had read the airline magazine three times.

But When the shooting started I was frightened to death, started shaking and crying." Young Marcus said he saw a stewardess slip off her wedding ring lust before the shooting and ask a woman passenger to take care of it if anything happened.

INFLICTED CUTS The communique also said the raiding warplanes inflicted "three logistical cuts In enemy lines of communication and 66 secondary explosions and 58 fires were observed." Twenty-four Air Force B52 bombers hit North Vietnam targets today with 600 tons of Command saidr All the strikes hit within 100 miles of the DMZ. Forty-five bombers also supported the Quang Tri drive today, the Command said.

UPI correspondent Barney Seibert said the big bombers knocked out a suspected Communist position two miles south of Quang Tri City and just north of the village of La Vang. Seibert said La Vang was a shambles littered with wrecked military vehicles. Government army engineers were clearing them off the road. In Quang Tri Province today, South Vietnamese Marines fought a Communist force of undetermined size five miles east of Quang Tri City. They reported killing 23 North Vietnamese while suffering only one man wounded of their own.

Today's 127 rounds that hit Chrysler Asks Price Increases (Continued from Page One) bly be requested later because of increases of labor and material costs which will occur before the 1973 models are introduced in late September. "The commission would not let us anticipate any economic cost increases that will become effective after July 31," Hilder said. "In August, we are going to start getting some additional higher costs, and will need relief." American Motors Corp. asked the commission for a 4.9 per cent price increase on its 1973 models last week. That hike would average about $150 among its passenger cars and jeep vehicles.

Humphrey's California campaign manager, Joseph Cer-rell, also said, "I don't think the Democratic national convention could go against a decision by the U.S.

Supreme Court." The appeals court held up execution of its order until 2 p.m. EDT today to give the parties time to seek a stay of the order from the Supreme Court. Califano, in a statement issued at Miami Beach, said he would recommend that the convention abide by the lower court decision if that remains "the law of the land." Under California's winner-take-all rules, McGovern picked up the state's 271 delegates by winning the June 6 primary The credentials committea, however, overturned this win-ner-take-ail provision and decreed the delegates should be apportioned on the -basis of the percentage of popular vote each candidate received. Chief Judge David L. Baze-lon and Judge George E.

MacKinnon ruled all the California delegates should to to McGovern. They upheld McGovern's argument that it was too late to change the ground rules after the primary was over. If the party had banned winner-take-all primaries before the California primary, the judges said, "The can-d i a might have campaigned in a different manner, devoting more or less time and resources to tne state." i Anchorage, Alaska, was one ot the warmest cities In the nation early today as a laree arctic air mass covered most et the nation with dry but unsea-sonooly cool weether tor the third dey In raw.

However, Fischer brushed aside a demand from the Soviet Chess Federation that he forfeit the first match because of his tardy arrival. He said this "would place me at a tremendous handicap" and he didn't believe the "world's champion desires such an advantage in order to play me." "I know you to be a sportsman and a gentleman, and I am Rooking forward to some exciting chess games with you," Fischer concluded. Earlier Euwe had met other demands the Russians made on him and suggested that the start of the match be delayed further. Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation, said he didn't penalize Fischer for his late arrival in Iceland because the American challenger is "living in another world." He said Spassky, the Russian world title holder, was "very upset" and that he would like to give him another week before the first game.

STRICT ENFORCEMENT Euwe also admitted he had violated the rules in allowing two previous postponements in the start of the match. He promised strict rule enforcement in the future. The 24-game series between Fischer and Spassky had been scheduled to start Sunday. Fischer stayed in New York, holding out for more money, and Euwe postponed the start of the match until Tuesday. Fischer arrived that day, but the Russians objected to his conduct and Euwe put the start off until today.

Fischer apologized yesterday for delaying the start of the match, but the Russians demanded apologies in writing. Then they demanded that Fischer forfeit the first game. Award of the first game to Spassky would give him a 1-0 advantage at the outset, but chess experts said that in such a long match Fischer probably would overcome the disadvantage. A player gets one point for winning a game and half a point for a draw. Spassky needs 12 points to retain his title, Fischer 12.5 to take it away from him.

The winner is to get $231,250 and the loser $168,750, the highest amounts ever paid in chess. The original purse was $123,000, with the winner taking five-eighths and the loser the remainder. But Fischer's holdout brought a $125,000 contribution from London banker and chess enthusiast James D. Slater to double the purse. Each player also gets $75,000 from the television and film rights.
