After stopping at San Francisco airport at 10:23 a.m.

the craft took off again 20 minutes later and circled the airport for about an hour while PSA officials sought to raise the ransom. The hijacked craft landed for a second time at San Francisco airport shortly before noon after PSA officials said the hijackers' demands were being met. On the second landing the plane taxied to a remote area of the airport beside San Francisco Bay. The hijackers refused to let any of the passengers leave, while they requested weather charts and maps showing the route to Siberia over Canada and Alaska. They also demanded i a fuel truck.

An airline spokesman at San Francisco International Airport said the plane was on the ground for 20 minutes and took off again at 10:44 a.m. to circle while the airline obtained the PSA's President Andrews said "we are meeting the demands as they are made "What the outcome will be I can't tell until I've talked to them again." A spokesman for Boeing Aircraft said the only way parachutists could jump from the 737 would be out the side passenger doors--an extremely dangerous leap. The short-range 737 could not make a transoceanic flight over either the Atlantic or Pacific, airline officials said. But they said a fully-fueled and nearly empty 727 should be able to fly the required distances. Pacific Southwest Airlines flies only in California and dominates the busy San Franjcisco-Los Angeles air corridor despite competition from several major airlines.

Its planes fly between Sacramento, the San Francisco Bay Area, the Los Angeles area and San Diego. Bill Relaxing Drug Penalties Advances SACRAMENTO (UPI) -The Assembly today narrowly passed a bill reducing the penalties for personal possession of marijuana by an estimated 2 million Californians. Assemblyman Alan Sieroty, D- Hills, author of the measure, said the present felony penalties for possession of the drug are excessively harsh. "Nowhere else in our law is private behavior SO severely punished. Smoking cancer-producing cigarettes is not even a crime," he told his colleagues during lengthy floor debate.

"The penalty for possession of marijuana does not fit the crime," Sieroty declared. The bill was sent to the Senate on a 41-33 vote, the bare minimum necessary. The measure would make possession of marijuana a misdemeanor punishable by six months in jail or a fine of $500 or both. Currently a judge has the discretion to make the first conviction for possession of marijuana a felony or misdemeanor. For subsequent convictions, it is a mandatory felony.

The court enjoined the Democratic party "from un-' seating these duly qualified and elected declaring the winner-take-all California primary was constitutional.

The appeals panel overruled U.S. District Court Judge George L. Hart who had held he had no jurisdiction over McGovern's suit challenging the Credentials Committee action stripping him of 153 of the 271 California delegates. But the court upheld the Credentials Committee ruling unseating an Illinois bloc of 59 delegates headed by Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley.

As a matter of legal formality, the appeals court sent both cases back to Hart for official closing of the cases. The appeals panel had announced first merely that the Fischer's Apology Not Enough? REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) -American chess Bobby Fischer apologized today for delaying the start of the world championship match with Russian Boris Spassky but a demand from the Soviet chess federation threatened to cancel the 24-game series. The Russian chess group cabled Dr. Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), demanding. that Fischer be ordered to forfeit the first game because he did not abide by an agreement which said both players must show up within one hour of the scheduled game time.

Euwe said he could not give the first game to Spassky because the Russians did not object to the first postponement. However, he said the entire match would be endangered if the Soviets pressed the issue. "If the Russians insist on this penalty I believe the whole match is off," said Euwe. "We are sorry that the world championships were delayed. The problems causing the delays were not with world champion Spassky who I respect as a player and a man," Fischer said.

"If grandmaster Spassky or the Soviet people were inconvenienced or discomforted I indeed unhappy for I had not the slightest intention of this occurring." Fischer's said.

The two judge majority said the report of the Democratic Party's reform commission, set up after the tumultuous convenin Chicago in 1968, stated clearly that it does not "flatly condemn the winner-take-all principle in state primaries, since such primaries offer a useful device for engaging popular interest and involvement in the process of selecting a president." McGovern headed the reform commission. A spokesman for McGovern said he was "obviously delightwith the decision.

On the Daley case, the three appeals judges were unanimous in voting to send the appeal back to Hart and enjoining Daley forces from "taking action in any other court that would impair the effectiveness and the judgment of this court." In the California case, McGovern had brought suit before Hart in an effort to overturn the Credentials Committee decision stripping away 153 of the 271 delegates he won in that state's winner-take-all primary. Prior to the credentials panel decision, McGovern had been verging on sufficient delegate strength. primarily through the primary route, for a first-ballot victory for the presidential nomination.

Living Cost Council, Food Store Executives Meet WASHINGTON (UPI)-Hopthat face-to-face bargaining might work where price controls have not, the administration called in two dozen grocery chain executives Wednesday for some tough talk on the rising cost of food. The meeting with the grocers was the first of three sessions with representatives of the food industry ordered last week by President Nikon as part of a renewed attack on food prices. The grocers met Wednesday afternoon at the Treasury Department with Secretary George P. Shultz and other members of the Cost of Living Council. Similar meetings are set for Thursday with farmers, food processors and wholesalers.

The Treasury refused to disclose in advance those invited to the meetings, saying the names would be released after the meetings began. A spokesman said those invited were a "representative group" from the grocery industry and included executives of medium- Hewlett-Packard sized as well as large retail food chains. Shultz "wants a good, frank and free discussion," the Treasury official said. "'He wanted to keep the group to a manageable size." The "jawboning" tactic with grocers is not new. Last March, former Treasury Secretary John B.

Connally called in heads of large grocery chains to ask their help in holding down the price of meat. After the meeting, Connally predicted meat prices would drop but all parties conceded that natural supply and demand forces rather than administration armtwisting would be the chief cause. The decline was short-lived. In recent weeks, heavy demand for meat plus an apparent reluctance of ranchers and feed lot operators to bring their stock to market while prices are still rising, has sent meat prices to record levels. The unchecked rise has been embarrassing to the administration at a time when most prices across the economy are controlled.

Because food prices are closely watched by conscientious shoppers, they have a political importance out of proportion to their economic impact. In an attempt to stem the rise, President Nixon last week ordered the discussions with food industry leaders plus these other actions: -Raw agricultural products such as vegetables, fruits, eggs and most seafood will be subject to mark-up control after the first sale. Meat already is controlled in this fashion. -Import quotas that regulate the amount of beef that enters the United States from overseas were, lifted for the rest of the year. The hope i is that a heavier supply from Australia, New Zealand and other foreign beef-producing nations will help drive down domestic prices.
