"I talked to him about his Turner said he had not been frisked when he got on the aircraft at Sacramento. "I could have shot him several times, but there were women and children on the plane and it could have ruptured the skin of the aircraft," Turner said. Turner said Goodell told him he was a Vietnam War veteran and complained the Army wouldn't let him marry a girl in Southeast Asia.

Once on the ground in Oakland the hijacker, who had signed the passenger list with the alias of Goodwin M. Harrison, apparently lost his nerve. Turner talked him into family and said it was going to hurt his mother and it would not be over today or tomorrow, but would be a long-term Turner said. One of the guns Goodel turned over was Turner's service revolver which the officer had taken from its holster and placed in a coat pocket. ing in the Boeing 727 on the runway at Oakland Airport.

A 21-year-old absent-without-leave soldier, who hijacked a Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA) jetliner for $455,000 ransom, surrendered early today to a California Highway Patrol captain he had taken hostage.

It was the first sizable government force to enter the city since the Communists overran it May 1. A spokesman said the battalion had reached the edge of the walled citadel, a 19th century fortress in the city center. UPI cameraman Tran'Dai Minn reported the troops of the 7th Airborne Battalion brought tanks in witi mem and encountered little resistance in their house-to-house, vancing into the city from the southern suburbs and the 8th South Vietnamese Marine Battalion was pushing in a mile east of the citadel, where North Vietnamese snipers in sizable numbers are believed dug in.

FRANCIS GOODELL, WITH HANDS RAISED, WALKS FROM JETLINER at Oakland and Is taken into custody by waiting FBI agents surrendering, and he walked down the rear stairs of the plane with his hands raised.

FBI agents seized him as soon as he stepped to the ground. He was wearing a khaki jacket, white shirt and dark pants. "The guy was afraid;" an airport spokesman said. "He seemed to realize he had made a mistake." Robert Gebhardt, special agent in charge of the San Francisco FBI office, said Godell had been absent for two days from Ft. Riley, Kan.

The hijacker had a German-made automatic pistol, when he took over control of the plane and he also got Turners gun when it fell from the pocket of the officer's jacket which he had put over a seat. That was the first indication the hijacker had that Turner was an officer. v.Bond for the hijacker was set at $100,000 and the U.S. attorney authorized the filing of a charge of air piracy. Turner talked to the bespectacled Goodell for two and a half hours before the young man1 decided to give himself up.

While the plane sat on the ground at San Diego for sev-; eral hours as the airline gathered the ransom, the hijacker said he wanted the money for "two organizations involved in the Mideast crisis." He did not name them. The ransom was paid with $450,000 in $100 bills, $4,000 in 50s and $1,000 in 10s. The money was delivered in a black satchel with handcuffs wrapped around it. Goodell also demanded and received a parachute. The plane took off from San Diego at 10:50 p.m., and after circling Oakland Airport for nearly an hour, landed at 1 a.m.

Goodell gave himself up about two hours later. In addition to Turner, the hijacker took Jim Williams, passenger, as a hostage. Both Williams' and Turner offered to serve as hostages to gain release of the other passengers. The hijacking began only 25 hours after another PSA plane was hijacked at San Francisco by two gunmen who received $800,000 ransom and maps for a flight to Russia before they were shot and killed by FBI a A passenger was killed in the shootout and two others were wounded. The plane seized yesterday came down at Oakland only 1 after authorities met the hijacker's demands that the field be fully lighted and that a Coast Guard helicopter with engines running.be ready for his use.

Under orders from the hijacker, the PSA plane made two passes over the field before landing, then taxied back and forth before finally shutting down the engines at 1:33 a.m. At one point during the tense ordeal on the ground at the airport the hijacker said if the FBI could come up with the name of the organization he belonged to he would surrender. The hijacking was the fifth of a PSA plane this year. The federal government fined the airline $1,000 earlier for one instance of failure to conform to all anti hijack measures. PSA is a highly successful airline that operates only within California, but carries thousands of passengers daily between San Francisco and Los Angeles and has many other flights operating to Sacramento, Hollywood-Burbank-and San Diego.

The hijacker took over the plane at 5:20 p.m. on a flight from Oakland to Sacramento. The Federal Aviation Administration said that in his note to the pilot, which said the ransom would be distributed to organizations involved in the Mideast crisis, the hijacker added: "Recent actions by the Airline Pilots As-' sociation and secretary of transportation have caused consternation in our organization and we are forced to take prompt action." The Airline Pilots Associa tion staged a one-day strike in some areas last month in protest against hijackings. Brandon De Wilde Killed In Crash CHESS GAME GETS BACK BOARDS Jan, 5-6, 1964, breached barriers of silence and hostility that had existed, since the Great Schism of 1054, when the two churches separated over questions of authority and forms of the creed. The Pope and the bearded 6-foot 4-inch Patriarch met on the Mount of Olives, exchanged a symbolic "kiss of peace" and talked in two private sessions.

Almost a year later, Athenagoras, in the Patriarchal Church of St. George in Istanbul, and Pope Paul in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, presided at simultaneous services at which the centuries-old excommunication between the Eastern and Western rites was annulled. The pair exchanged the kiss of peace again on July 25, 1967, in Istanbul, and three months later Athenagoras 4 Unjtwl Mil "inUnutloml DENVER Actor Brandon De Wilde, who gained his greatest fame when he played the role of a young boy in the 1953 western film classic. was killed in a traffic accident De Wilde, 30, was driving a camper van in suburban Lakewood during a light rain when the vehicle hit a construction truck used to install guardrails.

The report listed increases for gasoline, electric' power and some other fuels; wood products motor vehicle parts; v.

machinery; textiles, clothing and shoes; paper products; rubber and plastics; drugs and paint. There were price-declines for natural gas; major house-hold appliances; television, sets; chemicals and glass. The price of fruits and vegetables increased nine-tenths of one per cent; eggs were up 1.4 per cent and sugar rose four-tenths. There were declines of seven-tenths of one per cent for milk; 1.8 per cent for overall dairy and seven-tenths of one per cent for veg-: etable oils. The report on unemployment said the jobless rate for men declined form 4.3 to 4 per cent with a total of 1.9 million.

The rate for women dropped United Press International WASHINGTON Softening previous flat U.S. denials of Hanoi's claims, Defense Secretary Melvin R. Laird has acknowledged American warplanes may have damaged some flopd control dikes in North Vietnam. Laird charged, however, that most of the claims result from a deliberate effort by Hanoi to duck responsibility for failing to repair the dike system adequately after disastrous monsoon floods a year ago. North Vietnam's dikes themselves have ncer been the target of U.S.

bombs or rockets, Laird said yesterday. But he said in certain cases dikes may have suffered damage during attacks against antiaircraft weapons firing from them or supply convoys traveling down roads built on them. Laird said U.S. pilots are allowed to fight back against antiaircraft fire "wherever it comes from," including from emplacements on the dikes. He said he considers this proper, but implied it does not happen often.

NO SANCTUARIES Other defense officials said they saw no inconsistency between this policy and the presidential order against attacking dikes. Although the dikes are prohibited as targets, these officials said, neither are they intended to be sanctuaries for Hanoi's war effort. Laird raised the matter of the dikes himself during a Pentagon news conference. I "I believe that at the present time the North Vietnamese are carrying on a very intensified world-wide campaign which is accusing us of tampering with the dikes and with their dam system," he said. "Last year, as you know, tney had tremendous rains and monsoons, and many of the dams and dikes were affected by the severe flooding which took place last year.

The real damage to the dams and dikes is the damage that was suffered in weakening those dams and dikes last year during the very, very heavy flooding of North Vietnam. NO REPAIRS V- The Associated press WASHINGTON A re-newed surge in livestock and meat prices led an overall rise of five-tenths of one per cent in wholesale prices of food and industrial products in June, the government said today. The unemployment rate dropped during the month. It was the second straight substantial monthly price increase, following a three-fifths of one per cent hike in May for the largest two-month increase since last January and February. The Labor Department also reported that the nation's unemployment rate dropped from 5.9 to 5.5 per cent of the work force last month for the lowest figure in more than a year and a half.

The improvement was entirely due to seasonal factors. STUDENT FACTOR But the actual total of jobless Americans climbed 1.1 million to' 5.4 million in the annual summer flood of 'school youngsters seeking work. Because the rise in the work force was not as- large as, ex-pected, the department's Bureau of Labor Statistics figured it as a decline in the jobless rate on a seasonal basis.
