The hijacker gave a note to the pilot which said the ransom money, obtained from PSA along with one parachute, "would be given to two organizations involved in the Mideast crisis," a Federal Aviation Administration official said. The note continued: "Recent actions by the Air Line Pilots Association and secretary of transportation have caused consternation in our organization and we are forced to take prompt action." Some ALPA members last month took part in a one-day work stoppage to protest the recent wave of air piracy throufhout the world and to demand better security measures. It was the second hijacking for PSA, an intrastate airline, in two days.

On Wednesday FBI agents stormed aboard a PSA jetliner at San Francisco International Airport, killing two hijackers who had demanded $800,000 in ransom and escape to Siberia. A passenger was shot and killed by one of the hijackers, the FBI said, and two other passengers were ounded. The Oakland airpirate gave up his guns to California Highway Patrol Capt. Lloyd T. Turner, who he held as a hostage on the flight.

The hijacker had a pistol taken from the officer and a 7.63 caliber pistol of German make when arrested, the FBI said.

Chief Justice Warren E. Burger extended indefinitely Thursday a delaying order in the case so he could consult with his eight Supreme Court colleagues on whether to call a special session to consider appeals in the two cases. The U.S.

Circuit Court in Washington ruled Wednesday that the party's Credentials Committee had acted illegally in voting to replace the 151 McGovern delegates from California with representatives of his rivals in proportion to their vote in the 1 state's June 6 primary. At the same time, the court rejected Daley's appeal from the Credentials Committee decision that turned his seats over to a challenging group. Democratic party lawyers asked Eurger on Thursday to convene the court for what would be its fourth special summer session in history. They said the Circuit Court's ruling would "very likely" make the federal judiciary the convention kingmaker. The two cases arc crucial, especially the California one, in McGovem's quest, for victory on the first ballot.

Including the 151 California votes, The Associated Press count shows McGovern with 1,454.65 first ballot votes just 54.35 short of the 1,509 needed for the nomination. Failure to retain the 151 votes, either through court rulings or convention action, w'ould leave McGovern more than 200 votes away from the nomination, a far more I difficult hurdle to overcome, i The AP count shows Humphrey a distant second with 398.55; Wallace with 367; Muskie with 219.55; and 425.65 uncommitted. The rest are scattered. Burger's decision to extend a stay of the Circuit Court ruling drew praise from Jack Chestnut, Humphrey 's campaign manager- "We are prepared for a credentials fight on the floor," he said without elaboration. Pierre Salinger, a McGovern spokesman, said his side expects the matter to come to the floor.

"We think we have the votes to win," Salinger added. McGovern crossed verbal swords with Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird over the senator's proposals to cut U.S. defense spending sharply. Laird issued an analysis of MeGovern's proposal for a $32 bl)Iion reduction by 1975 and ca)led it "tantamount to a while flag of surrender." McGovern rejected that characterization and said, "My proposed military budget will make certain that the United States is the strongest nation in the world." Jn Miami Beach, meanwhile, heads of three largely black organizations threatened to crash the convention sessions unless 750 delegate seats are provided for poor people, The threats were made by the Rev.

The red-haired girl was struck by a curious ailment Monday. She had difficulty walking, and a pediatrician and a neurologist couldn't determine why. By Tuesday she couldn't walk at all, was having difficulty speaking and couldn't control the movement of her arms. Her parents headed back to the doctor, and her father, David Frame, said the doctor "thought it was something with a name a mile long that doesn't often strike children Cynthia's age but can go away in 48 hours.

He said we should just wait." At that point, 6-year-old John Frame told his parents he had found "a funny bug" on the family dog. "It clicked," said Mrs. Frame, explaining that she immediately recalled a newspaper story of nine years ago that told of a similar disease. "We both said, and ran to Cynthia," the mother re counted. They found a swollen wood tick embedded in the child's neck under her flowing red hair.

A doctor removed the tick with tweezers, and within minutes Cynthia was well enough to walk down the street to visit a girl friend. A spokesman for the Dade County Health Department said ticks produce an organic toxin that prevents nerves from transmitting impulses to muscles. "It definitely can kill if it reaches the point where the muscles which control breathing become affected," he said "but it is reversible right to the point of death by removing the tick." Cynthia's father said his daughter apparently picked up the tick during a family camp ing trip last week, but he was taking no chances: The family dog was quickly dumped in tick dip. Police Hunt For Killers Of Couple DALLAS (AP) Police continued to search today for the killer or killers of a man and woman whose bodies were found wrapped in drapes and set afire in a night club early Thursday. The victims Lewis Stratton, 52, and Maurine Hall, 38 were found about 4 a.m.

when firemen answered a call to the private club. Detectives said the slayer or slayers bashed in the heads of the two and then threw drapes over them and set them on fire. The woman was dead before the slayer touched off the drapes, according to a spokesman for the Medical Examiner's Office, but the man died of the blow and smoke inhalation. Homicide detectives said the couple had been robbed and then slain. Investigators said they found an empty money bag with a locked zipper back of the bar.

The bag had been ripped open and the contents were gone. A Associated Press Legislative refusal to appropri ate $400,000 to pay for unex pected costs of the May and June political primaries will damage the state's credit, a top Texas elections official said today. Randall Wood, director of the secretary of state's elections di vision, said, however, it is not too late for lawmakers to reopen the general appropriations BAR (Continued From Page One) activities, group representation, and soliciting clients." "We should insist upon professional control and discipline at the individual project level." "Finally basic attitudes within this program should be changed. So long as individual attorneys conceive their role to be that of social engineers, they will continue to exacerbate community tensions and undermine the very purposes they were hired to accomplish." Associate Justice William O. Douglas of the U.S.

Supreme Court told the lawyers Thursday that the accusatorial system in legal trials is being seriously eroded. "Presumption of innocence and proof beyond reasonable doubt have been hallmarks of the accusatorial system as contrasted to inquisition," Douglas said. "Recent trends require us to reappraise the situation we are in, and take a closer look at the inquisition to which we seem headed," he said. Douglas cited recent court rulings allowing nonunanimcus verdicts as what he called "serious erosion of constitutional protection of accused persons. "Those cases held that in non-capital cases the states may convict with less than unanimous jury verdicts," he said.

"While the requirement of proof beyond reasonable doubt obtains at the federal level, it no longer controls state criminal trials." Douglas said there was a growing need for public education on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. "They should be taught in every high school, for they are our finest traditions," he said. "They make the people sovereign and all officeholder only temporary agents to carry out the popular will." "Up in the District of Columbia the young lawyers are organized to teach the Constitution and Bill of Rights in the high schools. "We have entrusted tiic problem to osmosis, expecting the people to get the constitutional vision from the press. But the press needs courses in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

While we can be proud of the press in many respects they arc not educators on constitutional rights and duties." Douglas said an enlightened press and public is needed if "we are to pick and choose wisely between the offerings being made by the accusatorial system on the one hand and the inquisition on the other." In other action Thursday, the State Bar named Brownsville attorney Thomas G. Sharpe 37 General Practicioner of the Year for Texas. Sharpe, who has practiced in Brownsville since he was admitted to the bar in 1963, is president of the Cameron County Bar Association. Air Force Unit Books McLucas SAN ANTONIO, Tex. (AP) -Air Force Undersecretary John L.

McLucas will address a meeting of the local Air Force Association chapter here Wednesday night at Randolph Air Force Base. McLucas was named to his present post in 1969. He previously was president and chief executive officer of MITRE Corp. of Bedford, and McLean, Va. Lawmakers were expected to vote late this afternoon on the appropriations bill.

The legislature appropriated $2.15 million in March to run the primaries after federal courts, in effect, removed can didate filing fees as the source of funds for the elections. But Wood said the large turn out, plus unexpectedly high Republican primary expenses, caused the elections to cost $400,000 more than what was appropriated. The bad thing is the credit of the state in these matters is going to be severely damaged if these bills are not paid Wood said. He said Sen. A.

M. Aikin of Paris, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, "doesn't believe in the state paying for primaries and just got adamant about it." Rep. Bill Finck of San Antonio, chairman of the House Appropriations Com mittee, also did not favor the expenditure, Wood said. The bills mainly consist of bank loans taken out by county Democratic and Republican party organizations to pay their workers and debts to printing companies for preparing bal lots, he said. "If I were a printer, I wouldn't print any more ballots.

They don't make that much off of it," Wood said. Under the bill passed in March providing slate financing for primaries, the debts incurred by the parties ultimate-ly are debts of the state, he asserted. PRICES (Continued From Page One) year and a half. The improvement was entirely due to seasonal factors. But the actual total of jobless Americans climbed 1.1 million to 5.4 million in the annual summer flood of school youngsters seeking work.

Because the rise in the workforce was not as large as expected, the department's Bureau of Labor Statistics figured it as a decline in the jobless rate on a seasonal basis. Livestock prices climbed 4.7 per cent, poultry rose 6.9 per cent and processed meats, poultry and fish rose 3.6 per cent, the report on wholesale prices said. Industrial raw materials rose three-tenths of one per cent and consumer-finished goods those ready for retail markets increased five-tenths of one per cent. The increases pushed the government's Wholesale Price Index up to 118.8 of its 1967 base, meaning that it cost wholesalers $118.80 in June for every $100 worth of goods five years ago. The index was 3.9 per cent above a year ago.

The report said wholesale prices had climbed at an annual rate of 5.3 per cent in the seven months so far of President Nixon's Phase 2 wage-price controls, a larger increase than the 5.2 per cent rate of increase in the eight months prior to the Phase 1 wage-price freeze imposed by Nixon last August.

Texas cities pushed their search for the killers of five other persons. Three of the victims were stabbed to death, two had their heads bashed in, and one Was fatally shot. Two of the cases were double slayings and all occurred in the past week.

The WAF sergeant, missing since Tuesday, was found stabbed in a secluded riverside area of Lucky Park. She was identified as Debra Jean Montgomery, 21, of Sacramento, Calif. Police said she had been stabbed 18 times with what appeared to have been an ice pick. They theorized she had been slain elsewhere and taken to the park. She was gagged, with a clothes pin on her nose.

Named in the murder charge is David Howard Rulo, 20, a Wichita Falls Parks Department employe. Justice of the Peace R. L. Stewart refused bond for Rulo. Police said the arrested man signed a statement.

Meanwhile, Dallas police issued an arrest warrant for Jack D. Pickett, 47, in connection with the shooting death of his wife, Mrs. Frances Louise Pickett. 58. Mrs.

Pickett was shot in front of 13 terrified witnesses during a meditation session at the Infinite Way, a religious center in Oak Cliff. In the other cases: Fort Worth police sought clues that would lead to the killer or killers of a teen-age Oklahoma couple whose bodies were found near Greater Southwest International Airport. They were Thomas Gholson, 17. of Midwest City, and Jane Handy, 17. of Oklahoma City.

Dallas police still want the killer or killers of Lewis Straiten, 58, and Marine Hall, 38, who were found wrapped in drapes which had been set afire in a South Dallas nightclub early Thursday. Police said the ictims had been hit on the I head and the woman, at least, I had died from the blows before the fire was set. McGo vera Opposed By Execs MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.

Turner, a passenger on the flight, had volunteered to stay aboard the three-engine jetliner as a hostage with three crewmen after the jet's 53 other passengers and crew were allowed off in San Diego. Earlier reports that there were two passengers being held as hostage were erroneous, the FBI said.

U.S. Atty. James Browning Jr. authorized acomplaint for air piracy against Goodell and recommended $100,000 bail. The Boeing 727-100, originally with 58 persons aboard including the hijacker, was seized while on a short flight Thursday from Oakland to Sacramento.

The plane was ordered 500 miles to San Diego where the hijacker got the money and parachute, then ordered it to Oakland. He asked for a helicopter he had demanded to be waiting for him there. "This is nothing personal it had to be done. It's been planned," stewardess Maria Ring quoted the hijacker as saying. Turner had volunteered to be a hostage while the jet was in San Diego.

The hijacker allowed all but Turner, and three crewmen to get off there. Witnesses said (apt. Jerry E. Blakely, pilot of the jetliner, and the 42-year-old highway patrol officer both were handcuffed before they walked off the plane. It was believed they had been handcuffed by the hijacker.

A man believed to be the hijacker came out of the plane with his hands over his head. He was hustled into an unmarked sedan. In addition to the pilot, two flight officers were also held aboard the plane. The first warning that a hijacking was under way came as the plane was preparing to touch down in Sacramento on a flight Thursday night from Burbank. The pilot radioed the control tower, "We've got a problem." He told the passengers over the intercom that there was "a young man aboard who doesn't Want to land in Sacramento." Described as "sloppily dressed," the gunman talked to the pilot from the rear of the plane over the stewardess' intercom, ordered the jet to San Diego 500 miles south.
