airlines have announced stepped-up security measures in an attempt to thwart hijackings. American Airlines said yesterday that carry-on baggage was being inspected at boarding gates as passengers walked onto planes at O'Hare International Airport. United Airlines, the nation's largest, announced it will employ personnel to inspect all hand luggage carried by per-; sons boarding it 727 United also will continue a policy of making spot checks of passengers hand luggage on other flights. American Airlines luggage inspection will not be limited to passengers boarding 727 jets, a spokesman said. Edward Carlson, president and chief executive officer of---United, said the increased security measures were being put into effect immediately, throughout the system.

Goldwater Says War's End Near SAN DIEGO, Calif. (AP)-Sen. Barry M. Goldwater, a member of the Senate Armed Forces Committee, says he thinks the Vietnam war will end within 60 days. "I predict that in the next month or 60 days the war will formally be over," the Arizona Republican told some 600 persons at a $100-a-plate Republican fund-raising dinner last night.

Goldwater refused to elaborate on his statement. Proxmire Blasts Defense Contract WASHINGTON (AP)-Sen. Wilpam Proxmire, accused the Defense Department today of letting the taxpayer be "played for a sucker" by allowing Sperry Rand Corp. to reap what he said was a 34,000 per cent return on a $50,000 investment. The contract involves the company's production of 155mra artillery shell casings-the brass-colored portion-at its Louisi- ana Army Ammunition Plant in Shreveport.

The $71-million plant was built with taxpayer money, but cnorrw import nniv $50,000. Proxmire. chairman of the Hijackers Talked Into Surrender BELFAST GUN WAR WORST IN 3 YEARS By THE NEWS STAFF A Southwestside mother had her day in court last week and came out smelling like a rose that had left a thorn in the side of a Northeastside businessman. Seems that last May the businessman rented a couple of motorcycles to her sons, ages 16 and 17, and the boys signed a contract that released the businessman of any liability should the youths wreck the two-wheelers. What the businessman failed to tell the eager-to-ride boys when they took the motorcycles, which rented for $35 each, was that they were uninsured.

The youths encountered mechanical problems with both motorcycles, and a hassle between mom and her boys and the businessman began. Businessman told mom and the boys he would not refund the $70, but he would repair the bikes and the boys would have to ride the remaining hours of their allowed time near his shop. This rankled mom, who said the man shouldn't be renting motorcycles to her teenagers without her consent, much less sending them onto Indianapolis streets uninsured. She sued the businessman for the $70, represented herself in court last week, and walked away with $60 of the $70 she went after. The judge strongly suggested to the businessman he had better never hear of him renting uninsured motorcycles to any-one under 21 years of age or he would be "in serious trouble."

Bremer, ac-cused assailant of Alabama Gov. George Wallace, was trans-ferred last night from a Jessup, hospital to the Prince George's County jail. About 15 deputy sheriffs armed with rifles surrounded the jail as the 21-year-old Bremer was taken into the two-story brick building at about 7:15 p.m. (EST). Neal Ball, a White House press secretary, said President Nixon personally approved Bremer's transfer to Maryland authorities.

Ball said Nixon followed the recommendations of the FBI.

3 BODIES TAKEN TO HOSPITAL year-old Rep. William G. Bray, who has won 11 consecutive races in the 6th district. But Evans, a teacher and assistant principal at St. Ann's Parochial School, has found an inexpensive way to contact the voters a 2-month-long endurance contest -of door-to-door handshaking.

He says it's showing results. Evans already has worn out one pair of shoes in his walk through the district but he says people are saying they'll vote for him The Week Evans The FBI FREEPORT, Tex. (UPI) -The two hijackers in a crippled jet stranded on a small South Texas airfield weren't ready to concede defeat. The airplane was surrounded by police, it was out of fuel and had four blown tires, and the hijackers were weary from the 22-hour ordeal. But they still had $600,000 ransom money and parachutes they traded for 112 passengers in Philadelphia, and were holding three stewardesses hostage.

It was FBI Agent Louis White of Baltimore, who convinced them they should surrender after talking to them about 30 minutes. The agent, like the hijackers, is black. "White told them the three people who were injured in he ordeal were not hurt seriously. He said the only thing for them to do was give up," said Houston FBI Chief Thomas Jordan. "He made them realize they were in an untenable position." The three stewardesses walked out first, followed seconds later by the hijackers, walking out of the rear door of the airplane with their hands held high.

White snapped on the handcuffs and the men, later identified as Stanley Green, 34, Washington, D.C., and Lul-seyd Tesfa, 22, a native of Ethiopia, were charged with air piracy and held in lieu of $1 million bond each. The hijacking began Wednesday night as the jetliner approached New York on a flight from Philadelphia. The hijackers were armed with a sawed-off 12-gauge shotgun hidden in a fake arm cast, a pistol and a hand grenade. They forced the plane to return and land in Philadelphia and demanded the ransom and parachutes. Capt.

Elliott M. Adams, 55, escaped by diving through a cockpit window. He was hos-pitalized in fair condition from injuries suffered in the fall. Adams jumped because the hijackers had ordered him to take off before the plane was refueled, a move officials said would have caused the aircraft to crash right after liftoff. The hijackers fin ally received their ransom, released the passengers, switched to another 727 jetliner and took off for Texas, still holding three stewardesses and two male crew members the copilot and the engineer.

The gunmen forced the jet to land on a small airstrip near Freeport, designed only l.lmg.nicotine.- for propeller airplanes. It blew four tires on landing and was stranded. The airport had no facilities for repairing or refueling jets. During negotiations between the FBI and the hijackers, the copilot and engineer escaped the same way pilot Adams had. Engineer Gerald L.

Beaver, 37, of Houston, was shot in the leg as he scrambled through the cockpit window, and then slightly injured in the fall. Copilot Norman W. Reagan, 34, of Miami, broke a wrist, pelvis and rib when he hit the ground. He lay motionless on the ground and had to be carried away on a stretcher. Chess Loss By Forfeit Upheld REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP)-An appeals committee rejected today Bobby Fischer's protest against his loss of yesterday's world championship chess game by forfeit.

The four-man committee supported the decision of chief referee Lothar Schmid to award the game to Boris Spass-ky because Fischer failed to appear. The decision left Fischer two games down in a 24-game match, in which Fischer needs the equivalent of 12 victories and a draw to take Spassky's title. Andrew Davis, Fischer's law yer who arrived this morning from New in the anteroom when assistant referee Gudmunder Arnlaugsson of Iceland announced the forfeit would be maintained. Asked if his client would play the next scheduled game Sunday, Davis replied: "I can't comment on that." Four chess officials considered Fischer's appeal. Arnlaugsson said, "We agreed to support Schmid's decision.

Three of us felt it could not be done otherwise. There was one against." The man who backed Fischer's appeal was Fred Cramer, an official of the U.S. Chess Federation and an associate of Fischer. The other members were Nikolai Krogius, a Spassky aid, and Baldur Moller, an official of the Icelandic Chess Federation, which organized the match. Menthol too.

Time Marches On Two of Indiana's five Democratic congressmen, Rep. Ray J. Madden, Gary, and Rep.

Andrew Jacobs Indianapolis, were not at the national convention in Miami Beach this week. Jacdbs, Indiana's youngest congressman at 40, said, "everyone takes his turn and I had mine in 1968. There were only a few delegate slots to go around so I stepped aside and let someone else go." Madden said he had been, to "five or six conventions over the years, so I decided to let some of the younger folks go." Madden who was 80 in February, said he is working in the 1st District "catching up on a lot of stuff:" Donkey Of Different Color Someone asked former Gov. Roger Branigin this week why he wasn't in Miami Beach attending the Democratic National Convention, and Branigin answered: "Those are just the illegitimate Democrats!"

Yep, since L. Patrick Gray III took over as acting director of the FBI in May, these items all can be grouped together to identify the men and their work. Gray is attempting to update the agency, to try to change the public's image of the FBI.

It appears the men are catching on with the new boss' orders. Colored shirts, striped ties, light-colored suits are all the order of the day. As another proof of the change of command, there is a portrait of Gray hanging center wall with the late J. Edgar Hoover's picture off to his side.
