As the firing died down and the echoes of battle faded away following the midnight (7 p.m.

it days public notice before the hearing. Jack Jensen, director of the Transportation Coordinating Committee, a i the hearings probably will be held "within the next two months." HOWEVER, Jensen concedes the transit authority will have to make the decision on the volatile issue of diesel versus trolleys, before the hearings. Under federal law, if the authority makes any major decisions after the hearings are conducted, it must have another hearing. The authority then will give the hearing transcript and its final application to the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission. Paul Zehler, staff member of the commission, says the body will have 30 days to review the application before it forwards its recommendation to the federal agency.

The planning commission's approval is crucial because without it the RTA has little hope for federal funds. JERRY FISHER of UMTA says once the final application reaches the agency, there is a 60-to-90-day waiting period for final approval of a federal grant. "The 60 to 90 days Is the time period for a grant that meets no great objections from the com-m unity or the government," Fisher says. The grant must be approved before the transit authority can take over ownership of the company, Fisher says. He says the only exception is if bus service is in danger of being terminated in a city.

"This rarely happens, but in cases where service may be terminated, we allow them to go ahead at their own expense and commit their own money," he said. HOWEVER, W. W. Owen, City Transit president, said this will never happen in Dayton. "I'll keep the buses running if I have to just run them over to Third Street," he said.

McGovern told a Washington news conference he was over the top with 1,510.5 delegate votes after a group of black leaders announced they were delivering 96 perviously uncommitted votes to him.

Fauntroy, the non-voting house delegate from the District of Columbia and a spokesman for many of the 13 black congressmen, said the previously uncommitted dele-gates were made up primarily of blacks from 12 states. The states he listed included Connecticut, Louisiana, Ohio, Mississippi, Illinois, Missouri, New York, the District of Columbia, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and New Jersey.

In Oklahoma City yesterday, McGovern said if he is elected he will put a farmer, working man, an Indian and a woman in his cabinet. "People like yourselves can direct this country far better than the power elite of bankers and corporations and lobbyists who now hold power," he said at a downtown rally at noon. "In my administration we are going to have a farmer as secretary of agriculture, a working man as secretary of labor, an Indian in charge of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and women in positions commensurate with their numbers and concerns about the country," McGovern said.

The Provisionals, larger of the two wings of the outlawed IRA, called their truce weeks after a similar cease-fire called by the smaller, Marxist-oriented Official wing. It followed an evening of bloodshed across the 1 1 i province which at first inspired doubt that a cease-fire would go into effect at all. Shortly before midnight, a British army spokesman surveyed the evening's violence and said it appeared to him "as far as we are concerned there is no truce." But things quieted down soon afterward.

THE SPOKESMAN said a soldier was killed by gunfire in east Belfast seconds before midnight. He was the second trooper to die during the night. East Belfast Protestants threw up barricades of burning vehicles. Bombs went off downtown, one of them doing widespread damage in the North Street shopping area shortly after 8 p.m. (3 p.m.

EDT). In late evening a Provisional spokesman reaffirmed the outlawed group's intention to go through with the cease-fire, announced Wednesday with the proviso the British army "provided a public reciprocal response." "But we must make it understood that we stand on full alert to take defensive action should the need arise and ready to resume offensive activities if the leadership decides this is necessary," the spokesman said. REPORTS from the north Belfast gunbattle said 10 persons, all civilians, were wounded and taken to hospital's. At least two were in serious condition, an army spokesman said. Court rejects Army spying' thority gears up to get the final application Into UMTA, a settlement must be reached on the price of buying the bus company.

The authority has offered to buy at $2.8 million and the bus company has offered to sell at $4.5 million. The authority says it will take the bus company into court for a condemnation suit. However, the suit probably will not be filed until mid-August. BECAUSE the transit authority will have to place its offer of $2.8 million in escrow, it has to sell bonds to raise that amount. The federal grant would help pay off the bonds.

The authority has set July 11 as the deadline for bidding on the bonds. And it may take 30 days after that to print the bonds and get the money into an escrow account. Attorneys for the bus company and the transit authority are expected to disagree on whether the bus company has 90 days written notice before the condemnation hearing. The law is ambiguous over that, and attorneys say they know of no precedent in a condemnation suit with a bus company. THE FINAL application to UMTA must specify that an agreement has been reached with the bus company so that the grant can take into effect the amount of money it will cost (Continued on Page 3) counting some of them.

So the total gain was only 74 votes-giving him a total of 1,492 by his figures. McGovern must have 1,509 to win the nomination at the Democratic convention opening -July 10 in Miami Beach. Rick Sterns, McGovern's head delegate counter, told a news conference It was only a matter of days until the coup de gras is delivered. He said he understood the Essex County, N.J., delegation was arranging a caucus and was on the verge of throwing its support to McGovern.

That decision also was 5 to 4. Set aside, as a result, were the contempt convictions of Sister Joques Egan and a former nun, Anne Walsh, who balked at helping a grand jury investigate an alleged kidnap plot against presidential adviser Henry A. Kissinger. Brennan, delivering the decision, said the 1968 Safe Streets Act was designed to protect privacy and strictly limit wiretapping. At the same time, he said, the law serves to bar contempt judgments until the wiretapper shows he acted legally.

(AP) It had been three days since Lucy Moat talked her husband into evacuating the family from the $13,000 home they were still paying for. They went home yesterday to the mud-slimed house on Cayuga Street to pick up the pieces of their future in this flood-devastated area. Carl and Lucy Moat and their four daughters and son were one family seven persons out of as many as Hijack ransom found WASHINGTON (AP)-Led by Chief Justice Warren E. Burger, a narrowly divided Supreme yesterday barred a trial of the Army's surveillance of civilians.

Burger said in the 5 to 4 decision that courts cannot serve "as virtually continuing monitors of the wisdom and soundness of executive action." That, he said, is a job for Congress. The surveillance, conducted by about 1,000 agents beginning in 1965, was challenged in a suit brought by four individuals and nine groups, some of them war protesters. BURGER SAID they evidently wanted to use the courts to probe the Army's intelligence-gathering activities, with which they disagreed. Instead of showing their freedom of speech had been Injured or threatened, the chief, justice said, they presented allegations of a subjective nature. Therefore, Burger said, the suit cannot be considered.

The ruling, reversing a federal appeals court which had ordered a full-dress Inquiry, was produced by the four Nixon Administration appointees plus Justice Byron R. White. Justices William O. Douglas, William J. Brennan Potter Stewart and Thurgood Marshall voted to uphold the lower court, whose ruling was written by another Administration-named judge, Malcolm R.

Beds, clothes, appliances and floors all had the same dark, slimy coat of drying mud. The basement had been Moat's pride. "It was all paneled and I had two bedrooms and a bath down thers." The water had caved in the rear foundation wall. As Carl waded through the four feet of water that remained in the basement, his wife talked of their future.

The money paid to a hijacker and the submachine gun he carried before he bailed out or fell from a jetliner were found yesterday in north central Indiana, the FBI said. An agent said the moneybag was discovered by a farmer in a soybean field southeast of here and Die gun was found southeast of that area. The money, in a sealed canvas mailbag given the skyjacker, was found by Lowell Elliott, 61, on Uie farm of his son-in-law, John Vettel. Elliott said the bag made a dent about 2 inches deep in the ground, which he described as pretty hard. He said there was no blood on the bag.

But there was still no word on the fate of the man who commandeered an American Airlines Boeing 727 after it left St. Louis said. "We are in the process of counting it right now but it appears to be intact." The search for the hijacker swung immediately to the farm and its environs. The hijacker, described as in his 20s with a pockmarked face and open sores around his nose, has not been positively identified. "We have a passenger that's not accounted for whose name was listed as Robert Wilson," said Sullivan.

"As far as we're concerned, the same Robert Wilson could well be fictitious." Up to 150 policemen and FBI agents aided by the pilot of the airliner were concentrated in the search. Both the pilot-and the co-pilot of the jet said earlier yesterday that they believed the hijacker could not have survived his leap. a half-million who were homeless throughout the Northeast. "We got out with only what Is on our backs," Moat said, "and I've got to get to the house to see If I can salvage anything." THE MOATS had stopped at an evacuation center to pick up some clothing. Three of his children, Frank, 10, Donna, 17, and Tammi, 12, picked through clothes draped over the backs of seats in the Corning Free Academy's auditorium.

"Boy, I'd like to get a toothbrush and a razor," said Carl, a 49-year-old aircraft assembler, as he ran his tongue over his teeth.
