Last October, a 747 carrying 221 passengers was hijacked to Havana during a flight from New York to Puerto Rico. A Lufthansa West German jumbo was hijacked to Yemen on a flight from New Delhi last February.

The 172 passengers included Joseph P. Kennedy III, son of the late U.S. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.

No other casualties were reported. The passengers were allowed to evacuate the plane, which was cordoned off by South Vietnamese policemen and soldiers carrying rifles. Flight operations at the busy airport, which is also serving as a military air base, were suspended temporarily during the incident, but later resumed. The jumbo jet parked on a taxiway 500 yards from the passenger terminal. Ambu-lances, military vehicles, firetrucks and armed South Vietnamese soldiers surrounded it.

However, Dr. Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), said in the opening ceremony in Iceland's National Theater he was convinced Fischer would arrive in time for the match at 5 p.m.

lie said it was possible un San Francisco's seventh driest year in the 123-year history of weather records here, the National Weather Service says. For all of California, except a band across the extreme north, rainfall was roughly about half the normal. In some places it was far less. And the first six months of 1972 were the driest such period ever recorded in The City, Does this mean a drought this summer? Likely not, water resource officials say. Reservoir storage is believed sufficient through 1972.

But by then, of course, the reservoir supplies will be depleted. Thus if next winter is dry, too, we might be in for trouble, according to the experts. And as Weather Service climatologist John Slilz put it: "There's no way of telling whether 1972-73 will be another dry one." Remarkably Dry Sometimes low rainfall seasons come back to -back. The four winters of 1958-59 through 1961-62 were all below normal. But then again we could have heavy rains next fall with a vastly different problem: floods on the streams and rivers.

Stilz declines to predict. But he does offer some figures showing how remarkably dry this past season was. The Weather Service measures annual rainfall in the period between July 1 and June 30, and, from the figures going back more than a century, establishes what is termed the "normal" for each locality. Unusual Figures This is actually an average, Stilz pointed out. It's most unusual when an annual measurement comes out exactly at the "normal" point.

But this year the figures were startlingly out of line, except in the areas north of Cape Mendocino and across the top of the state. Eureka had 39.68 inches, about 103 percent of the normal of 33.43. The 42.01 inches which fell in Portland, were about 113 percent of the average of 37.18. South of a line running roughly through Bedding and Susanville to the Nevada border, little or no rain fell where it should have rained a lot. San Francisco's total for -Turn to Page 11, Col.

The jumbo jet flightfill left San Francisco Friday night and made stops in Honolulu, Guam and Manila en route to Saigon. Pan Am was unable to say immediately how many passengers were on board when the 747 was hijacked. There were 228 passengers aboard when the big plane left San Francisco. Boeing 747s, the biggest airliner in commercial service, have been hijacked at least three times.

Blames Setback A Scandal By Donald Canter Urban Alfairs Writer The prospect of a nationwide bureaucratic scandal was raised here last week as people were offered relocation bonuses of up to $4000 in cash to move into federally subsidized apartment projects, The Examiner learned yesterday. Some San Franciscans have already received their checks in the mail. Hundreds more will get them as fast as their claims can be processed. The money is parceled out ith no strings attached. It's not a rent subsidy.

It's a bonus. Money to spend as one pleases. Millions of dollars are at stake, both locally and nationally, in what may prove an unintended i -a a spree of staggering proportions. The scheme is such a hard act to follow that one of the highest placed federal housing officials here gasped, "I don't believe it." This official, area director James Price of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, said he might make it a nationwide issue if true.

The plane had left San Francisco Friday night, and was apparently hijacked between Manila and Saigon. One of the hijackers was killed on the runway at Saigon's Tan Son Nhut international airport. Pis body lay on the concrete, his white shirt soaked with blood.

Reports said the other hijacker apparently was killed aboard the plane. New Stale Delegates lor HUH Chosen By Sydijey Kossen Examiner Political Editor LOS ANGELES Sen. Hubert Humphrey's revived California campaign got off to a fast start yesterday with the selection of a new convention delegation. Most of these named are familiar Democratic figures.

At the Martinez Veterans Administration hospital, bottled water was prescribed for many patients.

The kitchen staff turned to cooking with steam to avoid contamination from tap water. John Dcvito, manager of the Contra Costa County Water District, said salt icvels in water at Antioch, Pittsburg, Martinez, Oakley, Clyde, West Pittsburg and the Gregory Gardens section of Pleasant Hill will be high enough today to kill lawns, flowers, vegetables, fruit trees and all but the hardiest plants. Saline Measurement "I think it is safe to say that this will be the worst drinking water ever delivered by a municipal water system in California," said Dcvito of his district's product. The potable water standard of the U.S. Public Health Service is parts of chlorides (salts) per million.

On Friday evening, the measurement at the intake pump of Contra Costa Canal near Oakley measured and Dcvito predicted it will reach 4(H) parts per million this morning.

Managers of 21 major fac Editor's Martha Said Quit-John Does Examiner News Service WASHINGTON Apparently bowing to an ultimatum telephoned to the world by his uninhibited wife, Martha, John Mitchell resigned yesterday as director of President Nixon's reelection campaign. Less than a week ago, Mrs. Mitchell said she was leaving him until he got out of politics. She made known her acute discontent last Sunday and Monday from the Westchester Country Club at Rye, N.Y. Mitchell joined her there Monday and they returned to Washington in midweek, apparently reconciled.

But apparently the reconciliation as on Mrs. Mitchell's terms because the announcement said Mitchell "has resigned as campaign director in order to devote more time to his wife and family." In a letter to President Nixon, Mitchell wrote of his regret at leaving the post in which he shaped a victory for Nixon in 19C8 and said: "I have found, however, that I can no longer (run the campaign) on a full time basis and still meet the one obligation which must come first: The happiness and welfare of my wife and daughter." In his letter accepting Mitchell's withdrawal, the President noted that a politician's wife "must not only share the disappointments and brickbats but must accept the frequent absence of a husband and father. 1 am well aware that this has been particularly true of the Mitchell family."
