Mini View ijacker Gives Up The air pirate, who gave up after the jetliner landed at Oakland International Airport, was identified by the FBI as Francis Goodell, 21, of Manassas, AWOL two days from the Army.

(AP) A young AWOL soldier seized a Pacific Southwest Airlines jetliner for $430,000 ransom, which he said would be given to groups "involved in the Mideast crisis," and ordered the plane 1,000 miles up and down California before surrendering early today to his hostage, a law officer, authorities said. Modern Barnum Seeks $9 Million There are a few choices open to Mr.

and Mrs; Citizen next week. One, cut off the television, drop by the public library for an armful of booksr and enjoy reading -for a change. Another is to take a pack trip into the wilderness. There one might even discover what the ecology people have been talking about. You could of course smash a chair through the screen of the television, but that wouldn't help the pocketbook.

Another choice is to watch the show. Just grin and bear it. Starting Saturday night the Democratic National Committee is putting on a precedent smashing nationwide telecon in hopes of raising S9.6 million to pay off party indebtedness. This indeed is something new in political show business. Larry O'Brien, the modern Barnum, refers to the Democratic party which has recruited 60 or more movie and stage stars to participate for free in the gigantic fund raising scheme, as "a party of variety and diversity.

It welcomes dissent and vigorous, open and free competition." The nationwide mixture of live entertainment by the Hollywood-Broadway performers mixed with mug appearances of Demo candidates will originate in Miami at a S500 a plate "festival with the stars" dinner. Obviously this is bait for the millionaire Demos. O'Brien hopes this will bring in enough cash to pay for the production of the Iamily den fund raising film. At home you watch, you laugh, you become inspired by thefce of Humphrey, McGovern, Muskie. Jackson or Wallace, and you dash to the telephone and call a number to let a soft voiced Democrat hello girl know you are kicking in with $50.

She takes your name, address and you get a follow up letter confirming that you now owe the National Democratic Party $50. Also there will be a note reminding you that'a new tax law allows a tax credit oradeduction for political contributions Up to $50. And while all of this is going on the Democratic party will be running up another deficit with the convention in Miami starting July 10. No kidding, if you really get'eager says O'Brien, 'you can use your BankAmericard or Master Charge. These new Democrats don't let any grass grow under their feet.

Activity in this steaming Democratic National Convention city, which has been limited this week to advance logistical preparations by the candidates and a half-dozen protest groups, picks up today as the parley heads for an opening Monday.

Agnew said today the Legal Services Program has little or no central direction and no firmly established policies and procedures. "Throughout this program's existence, there has been little serious examination of Us philosophical underpinning." Agnew said in a speech before the annual convention of the State Bar of Texas. "I want to emphasize that I am very much in favor of providing legal services for the poor," Agnew said. "Inability to afrorcl counsel should not and must not affect one's right to justice." He said the Legal Services Program has "gone beyond the idea of a governmentalh-funded program to make legal remedies to the indigent, and now expends much of its resources on efforts to change the law in behalf of one's social class the poor." In fact, some idealists, Agnew said, "who seem to challenge every thread of our social fabric from the past, regard this program as too sacrosanct even lo discuss, much less to question." He added, "As a starting place, we might look to the President's repeated belief that the paramount goal of Legal Services should be to respond to the needs of individual clients. When the President vetoed the proposal newspaper accounts of the Thursday night council meeting.

"It's great," said Pam, who had come from Laredo with her puppy Angela about a week ago. "I'm glad he (the mayor) is on our side." Young had claimed that the vendors gave UT and Austin a bad image. May, who had been selling macrame belts and necklaces a little over a year, said she thinks that of all the people who come down the Drag "a tiny percentage of those who are not from Austin are stunned. But even on Saturdays when most of the people are non-students, most of them seem more interested than put off." David, who sells hand-worked leather and fur trimmed purses, said vendors don't hurt the business of other merchants "because the things we sell, the hand crafted products, are not sold in stores." Walter Smith, who said Friday was his first day selling, commented. "I think the council's decision was great obviously I'm here." Smith said he was filling in for a friend who is sick.

Bob Packwood, manager of Discount Records at 2310 Guadalupe, said he feels the street vendors add color to the UT area. "I would rather see them stay," he said.

Kennedy will still have ''first refusal" on the vice presidential nomination if Sen. George McGovern captures the Democratic presidential nod, sources close to the South Dakota senator said today. Despite Kennedy's repealed statements he won't be available, the offer will probably be made because polls show he would strengthen a McGovern led ticket, the sources said. McGovern, Sen. Muskie 'DeaV Told BALTIMORE (AP) Sen.

Edmund S. Muskie tentatively agreed four weeks ago to endorse Sen. George for the Democratic presidential nomination under a short-lived agreement worked out by aides, the Baltimore Sun reported today. McGovern forces had offered to assume an unspecified amount of the $200,000 campaign debt which then was facing Muskie if the Maine senator would endorse McGovern, the newspaper said. Berl I.

We're all very glad," said Sara, who has been selling hand-crocheted jewelry on the Drag for six months.

She expressed the feelings of a half a dozen sidewalk vendors Friday about the City Council's refusal to consider an ordinance to prohibit street sales. Most vendors interviewed would give only their first names. It was the second time the subject of street vendors came up before council, in 1971, the council voted down an ordinance to prohibit street sales. Thursday Austin real estate investor Fred C. Young asked the council to vote such an ordinance again.

Sara said there was some concern among the vendors on the Drag. "They (the city council) came pretty close a year ago." Most of the small number of vendors who were ready for business early Friday morning had just read the commission must honor its 1970 contract to buy 3.963 acres of Mustang Island frcm Mrs. Sam E. Wilson of Corpus Christi. The commission voted 2-1 in 1970 to buy the property.

Former Chairman Pearce Johnson cast the dissenting vote, then obtained a federal court order blocking the purchase. But the 5th U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans overturned that order. The Legislature increased the commission size to ix members, and the commission voted 2-1 last February tt rescind its offer to buy the land.

Three members abstained. Martin said it made no difference, that the contract with Mrs. Wilson was valid and that the commission could not undo what it had already done.

Associated Press The Parks and Wildlife Commission scheduled a news conference for 2:30 p.m. today to announce acquisition of property for the second largest state park and to discuss the Mustang Island controversy. A Parks and Wildlife Department spokesman said the commission will announce it has acquired more than 14,300 acres in the coastal area near Port Arthur for a state park. The Palo Duro Canyon State Park is the state's largest. The spokesman said tr.e commission has received an opinion from Atty.

Gen. Crawford Martin saying he has reconsidered his original opinion on Mustang Island, as requested Wednesday by the commission, and he reaffirms that original opinion. Martin ruled on May 26 that philosophically accepted the first postponement when Fischer didn't show. Later he demanded an apology or ho wouldn't play. Fred Cramer, who advanced a slender claim to represent Fischer and called a lot of news conferences, forecast like a man who ought to know: "1 can't see Bobby apologizing."
