A similar expldsion Saturday blew a hole in aii Austrian jetliner with 38 persons aboard, which was carrying mail for Israel. The blast, in the baggage department, hurt none. The plane was bound for Vienna but was forced to land at Frankfurt. An Arab guerrilla organization claimed credit for that explosion, but later retracted the claim.

Roger Bonvin, Switzerland's transportation minister, said the explosion in the Swissair craft also occurred in the baggage compartment and caused the pilot to lose control.

The three-term sheriff from Adamsville will, by law, be unable to seek reelection in August. Sheriff Buford Pusser of McNairy County, shown performing administrative duties at his office in Selmer earlier this week, was one of three men named Saturday night as "outstanding young men of 1969" by Tennessee Jaycees. A Jaycee spokes McNairy Sheriff Pusser Is extending the franchise and excise taxes to national banks will give teachers a $100 pay raise. The first big issue to face the 99 representatives and 33 senators was on the length of the session.

Those who favored a short session up to 45 days could have been approved won out by arguing that 24 days was enough time to do what was needed. The session ended on the same note with an attempt in the Senate to provide another week of working time. There were a lot of candidates and a lot of political talk during the six-week term. Both speakers, Frank C. Gorrell, D-Nashville, in the Senate, and William L.

Jenkins, R-Rogers-ville, in the House, are considering a race for governor. Gorrell is not committed but Jenkins is running. Several House members plan to run for the Senate; one senator has talked about a race for the U.S. Senate; two or three legislators are considering races for Congress. And there were enough bills of a political nature to keep them busy.

The biggest fight of the session came in the House over Lynch's attempt to force his runoff bill onto the floor for a vote. He fell two votes short after some powerful lobbying, and after the bill had passed the Senate. Republicans finally succeeding in passing a bill to change the makeup of the State Board of Elections and the 95 county election commissions. Their bill which passed the evenly divided House would have given the GOP control of the state board and the American Party control of 47 county boards. The bill died as expected in the Democratic-controlled Senate.

But no one was sure that-the House Republicans even wanted the bill. The result was that Democrats retained control of all election machinery, with no representation for the American Party. Since polls show that most parents are opposed to having their children transported across town to school, four measures putting the lawmakers on record against this "busing" were introduced. Gov. Ellington signed into law the bill stating simply that there must be no racial discrimination in the assignment of pupils.

With Rep. James H. Cum-mings, D-Woodbury, playing a strange role, the House gutted a bill that would have forced the state to cut off funds to any school system busing pupils. Cummings, champion of rural Tennessee and dean of the House, talked his colleagues into amending the bill to delete that provision. The third bill passed the Senate but died in the House after even the more conservative legislators concluded that the two bills which were approved and a resolution asking Congress to prohibit busing were enough.

This bill would have required that no child be forced to bypass a neighborhood school to attend one farther away. The only problem with all the anti-busing proposals, just about everybody agreed, was that it's an issue over which the federal government has assumed complete control. Ellington's record budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1 includes more than $500 million for education, $270 million (Continued On Page 9) Tab Recording Company. Pusser was county chairman of the Cerebral Palsy Fund and has served for the past two years on the West Tennessee Dignitary Panel. He has been wounded several times in the line of duty.

His greatest tragedy was the loss of his wife in an ambush in August of 1967. He is serving his third two-year term as sheriff. A lame duck, he will be unable to seek re-election in August. His current term expires Sept. 1.

Bell, 31, was honored for his work in both the Tennessee Jaycees and United States Jaycees. Person, 35, was named for his wide range of civic work as well as "his outstanding ability as a legislator." House Speaker Williams Jenkins of Rogers-ville, 33, was presented the Jaycees "Pioneer of the Future" award, given to a man deemed to have "made an outstanding contribution to his state and community for the past 12 months." GATLINBURG Sheriff Buford Pusser, 32, of Adamsville, McNairy County's chief crime-buster, was one of three young Tennesseans named Saturday night by the Tennessee Jaycees as outstanding young men of 1969. A Jaycee spokesman said Pusser "was honored for his relentless pursuit of law and order." Charles A. Bell of Lebanon, vice president of the United States Jaycees and State Sen. Curtis Person Jr.

of Memphis were named as the other two outstanding young men of 1969. Pusser was made honorary Sergeant At Arms of the Tennessee House of Representatives in 1969. He has received the "public service" award from the True Detective Magazine and was chosen as "National Police Officer of the Month" by the editors of Master Detective Magazine. His exploits have been written in The Mens Magazine, True Detective Magazine, Master Detective, Saga, Inquire and the London Daily. He has been the subject of three records by Some Lawyers Argued Against Chicago Trial WASHINGTON (AP) Some lawyers within the Justice Department's Criminal Division argued against federal prosecution of the "Chicago seven" on grounds such a trial would be a travesty, a department source said Saturday.

The Justice Department lawyers, the source said, told Asst. Atty. Gen. Will Wilson that one the laws under which participants in the 1968 Chicago demonstrations were to be prosecuted was of dubious constitutionality. Furthermore, they said, there was serious question as to whether it could properly be applied to this case even if it was constitutional.

As it turned out, all the convictions resulting from the trial were for violations of this law. The lawyers also told Wilson the Chicago matter was not ordinary criminal case and if it came to court it would a political trial, the source said. They reportedly warned the defendants might try to the courtroom into a forum their own political views and the judge whoever he might be would be unable to cope with the situation. The result, they said, would a circus which would embar-(Continued On Page 14) By JIM LUTHER NASHVILLE (AP) No matter how the tally is taken, the 1970 session of the Tennessee Legislature probably will be recorded as the one which heard more talk and saw less action than any other in modern times. In the 24-day election-year session that ended Friday, legislators wrote fewer than 100 laws that could be considered of statewide importance.

And they refused to consider such subjects as consumer protection and mandatory automobile insurance. One indication of the session's significance could be gathered from the remarks of Sen. William Bruce, D-Memphis, and Rep. Pat Lynch, D-Winchester, who were voted by newsmen as the most effective members of their respective houses. Both are administration floor leaders.

Bruce described his most significant bills as those repealing the price-fixing law on general merchandise, repealing the state's Sunday closing laws and requiring public officials to disclose their financial interests. All were killed in committee. Lynch said the most significant bill introduced was the one requiring primary runoff elections if no statewide candidate receives a majority of votes cast in a primary. That bill passed the Senate but died in a House committee. Gov.

Buford Ellington presented a bare-bones budget even though a record $1.32 billionwhich was adopted and a legislative program which really was little more than a series of housekeeping bills. The legislature, at the governor's urging, approved four bills to reflect the growing awareness of the need for abating-air and water pollution; provided $15.8 million to cities for improving sewage systems, and took a small step toward prison reform by passing a bill whose aim is better rehabilitation of convicts. The administration's only offering in the line of prison reform was a measure to remove the corrections commissioner from the Board of Probation and Paroles. A series of bills to bring state laws on welfare spending in line with federal regulations was passed. And the legislators corrected an old law that would have prohibited counties from paying the expense of American and Republican Party primaries this year.

The influence of lobbyists on this session was obvious. Despite the fact that $30,000 was spent to draw a strong consumer protection bill, the measure died in committee after lobbyists charged it would destroy the free-enterprise system. More money was spent studying the need for new laws on automobile insurance regulation. A special commission drew a bill requiring every motorist to buy liability insurance. The bill died in committee.

A perennial issue has become a fight to force railroads to install electric signals at dangerous crossings. Lobbyists beat it to death. Lobbyists for banks, small-loan companies and retail merchants successfully fought ills to limit the interest charged on credit cards and retail charge agreements, and to lower the interest rate banks charge consumers. A bill costing the banks $3 million a year was passed but the banks didn't fight the measure.

In an election year Congress may feel pressure to avoid rising unemployment by a speedup in federal spending, Mayo acknowledged.

May told newsmen last week the company's proposed one-year stretchout, to keep the production line going through 1973 as originally scheduled, would give the government more time to decide to buy more C5As and give the company more time to sell additional planes elsewhere.

The Air Force said the stretchout would not only boost costs, but would delay formation of C5A squadrons and would deny the Air Force at least $11 million in penalties al- ready certain for late deliveries, But Deputy Secretary of De- (Continued On Page 8) I Immmh Honored Costliest -And also be incurred for 81 planes. The C5A is not just big in costs. The plane's 248-foot length, 223-foot wingspread and six-story height would crowd: a football stadium. It is designed to air freight an Army division's largest weapons into combat, particularly during the first 10 days of a sudden war; fly low with its own terrain-following radat to avoid enemy detection; settle onto dirt runways on its 28 wheels and then kneel down to truckbed level for fast unloading. The Fill program has grown from a $5.5 billion estimate for 1,700 Air Force jets in 1963 to $8.5 billion estimated last year for 675 planes.

The Pentagon says! the cutback to 554 Fills would save about $1 billion, indicating the new cost would be about $7.5 bil of that an that be that turn for that be was a lose the Budget Director: WASHINGTON (AP) A warning against premature lifting of the government's anti inflation curbs issued Saturday by Budget Director Robert P. Mayo. The economy is not lapsing into a recession, Mayo said, and "it would be rather unfortunate if we our courage, in effect, at just wrong point." In a question and answer discussion with the Associated Press, President Nixon's budget chief, an Happy Reunion missing for 32 hours.

An epileptic needing regular medication, Shaun had been Is World's Biggest, World's It's Getting Costlier A .1. Supercargo Jeff made the plane a hallmark of what the House Appropriations Committee called "The Year of The Cost Overrun." The Air Force said the figure actually should have been $1.4 billion.

With the cutback program's cost embroiled in contract negotiations, no one not the Air Force, C5A manufacturer Lockheed-Georgia Co. or even General Accounting Office is willing to guess how much the 81 planes might cost. But using formulas supplied to Congress last year, the cost for 81 planes figures out to just under $4 billion $48.8 million per plane. That makes the C5A more than twice as expensive zs the $23 million Boeing 747 Commercial jetliner which is almost as big, started later and went into operation almost as fast. It makes the C5A almost as expen would have for 115 planes.

The Air Force objects to the extra cost, without estimating how much it would be, but says it is considering the proposal. Costs of correcting deficiencies including the wing crack and problems in the low-level radar, landing gear and automatic pilot which are supposed to be paid by Lockheed but which fall partly on the government as a result of the "repricing formula" in the C5A contract. Cost-boosting schedule delays under which the first operational plane was delivered to the Air Force last December six months late. The GAO's conclusion the Air Force should have added at least $321 million in operating and support costs to the original $4.8 billion estimate for 115 planes. Much of that money will lionor a cost growth of $2 billion since the 1963 estimate for more than three times as many planes.

The C5A's wing crack is not nearly as serious as the Fill's but it is a cost-increasing one. The Air Force estimates it will cost $6.48 million, about $80,000 apiece, to fix the wings on all 81 C5As. Lockheed says the cost will be $7 million to $8 million and should be spread across a 115-plarie order. This would shift more of the fix cost to a second order of 23 planes on which the contract requires the government to share fix costs. Lockheed must pay for fixes on the first 58 planes ordered.

Lockheed is negotiating with the government ion when to incorporate the wing fix into the assembly line. It is now expect sive as the futuristic Supersonic Transport (SST) which is now projected to cost $60 to $70 million each. Signs that the $4 billion figure is too low and that actual costs for 81 C5As could go back up to or even exceed the $4.8 billion estimate for 115 planes include: Lockheed's contention the Air Force ordered 115 planes before the cutback to 81 and must make "convenience of government" payments for the contract change. Neither side will say how much Lockheed is asking on its alleged loss of more than $800 million worth of orders for the extra 34 planes. Lockheed's proposal that production of the 81 planes be stretched out an extra year, adding a year's labor and other production costs to the price.

This would keep the C5A's production line going as long as it.
