Spring-Like Temperatures Still On Tap Odessans enjoyed the third consecutive day of pre-spring like temperatures Wednesday and while the mercury Thursday was to inch up into the low 80s, the unseasonal mildness will stick around through Friday. The high temperature Wednesday of 74 degrees came within one degree of matching the all-time low maximum, set in 1960 at 73 degrees. No more than a trace of rain fell early Wednesday, but stubborn forecasters at National Weather Service at Midland-Odessa Regional Air Terminal inserted another 20 per cent possibility for moisture Thursday night.

The nippy weather visiting the Permian Basin since the Fourth of July in the form of a massive cool front already has caused other record-breaking and record-matching low readings. Wednesday morning's low of 60 degrees set a record for that date. The previous low for July 5 was 61 degrees set in 1940. Another record was matched Tuesday when the afternoon high reached only 76. In 1953 the same low maximum was attained.

The local forecast calls for a cloudy to partly cloudy condition to remain in the area through Friday. A small low-pressure system forming this morning in Nebraska is scheduled to begin a slow movement toward West Texas during the day to cause a gradual hike in temperatures. The maximum temperature predicted for Friday is 88 degrees, following an anticipated low of 65 as the overnight low. Southeast winds will push into the Basin at eight to 18 miles an hour. Early morning temperatures eased down to 57 degrees at Amarillo and 58 at Dalhart in the Texas Panhandle.

Most other points had readings in the 60s and 70s, with Galveston the warmest at 74. Wednesday afternoon's top marks were generally in the 60s to 80s, and they went no higher than 91 at McAlIen in the Lower Rio Grande Valley.

"A shot rang out. and Mr. Carter was hit in the back." said Vincent Roeco of Sacramento, who said he was sitting next to Carter. Rocco, speaking with tears in his eyes, said Carter had been asking him about retirement possibilities in Southern California.

In San Diego, PSA President J. Floyd Andrews said: "The FBI took this out of our hands and directed the action. They stormed the aircraft and in the ensuing melee the hijackers were shot and the passengers injured." At the time Andrews did not know that Carter had died. After landing and 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. Under orders from the hijackers who sought an "international pilot," a FBI agent dressed as one approached the plane carrying the money, Gebhardt and Dave Gardella, PSA security director, After stripping to his underwear on orders from a hijacker, the agent dressed again and went up the stair ramp with his hands on his head.

In the meantime, the other three 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. Mrs. Arthur Stone of Detroit, who had been visiting a sister in Sacramento, said she scarcely saw the hijackers but realized soon after the plane took off to circle San Francisco that a hijacking was in progress.

She said she asked a stewardess where they were going. "Nowhere, ma'am. We're just flying," came the reply. "I knew we were in for it then," said Mrs. Stone.

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, I started to cry," Mrs. Stone said. "I just fell on the floor." said Bill Corcoran of Sacramento, another passenger. "I was really bored," said 12 year-old Aaron Marcus of Sacramento, en route to San Francisco to visit his father.

(AP) A threatening note scrawled in blood has been found in the home of an airline pilot who helped overpower a hijacker in Saigon, police said. The hijacker was shot to death by a passenger. i The note, found Wednesday in the home of Robert Vaughn, a veteran Pan American World Airways pilot, said: "Pig Eugene Vaughn guilty of murder.

To be punished later. Long Live Nguyen Thai Binh. Victory to the Vietnamese. Death to the American aggressor." Vaughn, 53, and two passengers on Sunday overpowered the young Vietnamese hijacker, identified as Binh, a University of Washington honor student. A passenger armed with a revolver shot Binh to death.

The man had tried to hijack the Boeing 747 to Hanoi. The note, apparently written in animal blood, was held in place by what appeared to be the intestine of an animal, police said. Vaughn told a news conference the note was "the reaction of sick people." The note Related Story, Page 14-B was found before he returned home from overseas. Vaughn said actions now being taken to prevent hijackings don't work. "You would see hijacking disappear overnight if there was a mandatory death penalty for hijackers with no loopholes in it," he said.

Vaughn also suggested that "every pilot in the United States walk off the job and refuse to come back until Congress enacts the death penalty for hijackers." He also expressed hope that the hijacker's death "might make a lot of people think long and hard about future hijackings." Vaughn said airline crew members should be armed, but declined to suggest that all pilots handle hijack attempts as he did. "I don't think I can safely say what applies in all cases." he said. "Each situation like this is different."

Hubert H.

Humphrey. The court suspended the effect of its rulings until 2 p.m. today to give the high court time to act if it wishes. The Supreme Court has held "only three special sessions in its history. "We feel this case is as compelling and more compelling" than those which prompted the other sessions, Califano told a news conference in Miami Beach.

"The courts should not get involved in selecting delegates." McGovem forces announced Wednesday afternoon that the appeals-court action gave their candidate more than the 1,509 delegate votes needed for nomination The Associated Press delegate count, does not list officially uncommitted delegates who are leaning toward a opened unless two-thirds of the 31 member Senate votes to do so. Herring said if the public and press were allowed to listen to the Senate debate an appointee's qualifications, "it could destroy the man's reputation and hurt his family and friends." House members approved a resolution Wednesday which opponents claimed was an attempt to reverse the trend toward integration. Sponsors said the issue was merely whether a legislator was for or against busing. By a 107-13 vote, the House sent to the Senate the resolution asking Congress to call a convention to propose an amendment to the U.S. Constitution which would say: "No student shall be assigned to nor compelled to attend any particular school on account of race, religion, color or national origin." A June 25 ruling by Bames prohibiting the Senate from considering concurrent resolutions on topics outside the governor's instructions for the session might stymie the "antibusing" proposal in the Senate.

Rep. Carlos Truan, Corpus Christi, said the resolution would "perpetuate segregation." it It if v' 1' A A '-xl Gebhardt, FBI special agent in charge. He made the comment before learning that one of the passengers had died. "But." he said in response to a reporter's question, 'somebody had to make a decision." Three FBI men who had sneaked up under the fuselage of the plane rushed aboard after the hijackers refused to release 81 passengers. Gebhardt said.

The slain hijackers had demanded two parachutes. $800,000 and passage to Siberia shortly after taking the plane over in the air, officials said. Gebhardt said the FBI men moved in on the plane only after the hijackers refused to release the passengers until the ransom was handed over. "I saw two FBI men enter the plane," said Dr. Manuel Alvarez, 58, of Sacramento, a passenger.

"The first came through with his hands on his head, and the second came up shooting, blasting away with a shotgun." The hijacker "crumpled to the floor," said Alvarez. The FBI said the gunman had an automatic in each hand but did not open fire. In the rear of the plane, the other hijacker had another automatic and fired at least threeshots, the FBI said. The second hijacker went down almost immediately from FBI gunfire. Gebhardt said, and like the other was dead on arrival at the hospital.

The hijackers also held the plane's five crew members. In previous U.S. hijackings no attempt has been made to board a hijacked airliner while the passengers were still aboard. However, on May 9 Israeli soldiers stormed a hijacked Belgian airliner in Tel Aviv, killing two Arab guerillas, wounding one and capturing a fourth. Three of the 95 passengers aboard were wounded and one died from a head wound eight days later.

On Sunday a Pan American Airlines pilot in Saigon overpowered a young Vietnamese man who tried to hijack his airliner. The hijacker was then shot by one of the plane's passengers. The gunmen killed Wednesday were identified from cards in their pockets as Dimitr Alexieff, 28, of Hayward, and Michael Azmanoff 28, of San Francisco. The passenger dead on arrival at Peninsula Hospital in nearby Burlingame was E. H.

He noted that the Supreme Court had not yet spoken, and argued further that the convention itself would be the ultimate judge. Humphrey conceded that it would be "quite a hassle" if the convention ignores See DEMOS, Page 2-A Protests Expected To Be Peaceful MIAMI BEACH.

Ha. (AP) Police and demonstrators alike predicted next week's Democratic National Convention should be more peaceful as a result of the City Council's decision to let protest groups camp in a public park. Within an hour. Wednesday after the council reversed an earlier ban on campsites, more than 100 young people moved into the 36-acre Flamingo Park five blocks from where the Democrats will nominate their presidential candidate. The young people began to set up tents and roll out sleeping bags while some took their first showers in days at park facilities.

"We believe that with a controlled site we will be better able to control law and order," Police Chief Rocky Pomerance said. He said the park is fenced to help provide crowd control, has a hedge on one side to give an "aesthetic screen" to the residential neighborhood and has lights at night for security. "This eases the situation considerably. Now we can concentrate on mapping our demonstration strategy," said Zippie leader Eddie Harper. "We're going to demonstrate something incredible and beautiful next week.

We're going to unite for social change," said Rene Da vis, a Chicago 7 defendant. More than 200. young people representing diverse groups from Vietnam Veterans Against the War to Gay Activists danced, shouted and waved banners to proclaim their victory following the council's 4-2 vote to provide a campsite in Flamingo Park. Siafe Senate Goes Over Rules Reform WASHINGTON (AP) Democratic party forces are seeking a rare special session of the Supreme Court to determine which presidential candidate gets the California delegates George McGovern thought he had locked up. The appeals to be filed today would go first to Chief Justice Warren E.

Burger who would decide whether to call the justices back from vacation. The arguments revolve around constitutional guarantees of due process and the extent to which federal courts may inject themselves into partisan political processes. Two groups are appealing a U.S. Court of Appeals decision Wednesday which reversed the party's Credentials Committee in the California case, but upheld it in the Illinois case.

6B HOROSCOPE AUSTIN, Tex. (AP) A set of proposed Senate rules worked out with the approval of the outgoing and incoming lieutenant governors was on the Senate agenda again today. Lt. Gov. Ben Barnes said the Senate might "possibly" vote on the one-year state budget the main business of the 30-day special legislative session.

The House already has prepared a resolution to wind up the session at 5 p.m. Friday. The Senate made two major changes in the 53-page package of "reform" rules Wednesday, cutting out provisions to open secret sessions to the press and public and to give the lieutenant governor unlimited authority to create new committees. After a 20-11 vote defeated an attempt to clamp a time limit probably just over 24 hours on filibusters, the Senate broke off 1-Mt hours of debate until today.
