(AP wirephoto) Hanoi oil line nears completion WASHINGTON (AP) Nortli Vietnam's military engineers have "very nearly completed" a new oil pipeline from Hanoi to the Communist Chinese border in an effort to sidestep the U.S. mining of its ports; the Pentagon reported Friday. Once in operation, this pipeline could enable North Vietnam to replenish its stocks of motor fuel, needed to run supply trucks and tanks supporting Hanoi's troops fighting in South Vietnam, a Pentagon spokesman said.

The flow of petroleum products into North Vietnam has been cut off since North Vietnam's po rts were sealed by U.S. minefields May 8, it is believed. Pentagon spokesman Jerry W. Friedheim indicated the new pipeline extending northeastward from Hanoi has not yet been struck by U.S. bombers.

Air raids have cut other sections of North Vietnam's pipe- line system extending southward from Hanoi and the port city of Haiphong toward the battlefields in South Vietnam and Laos. U.S. warplanes constantly range along that southbound pipeline and strike it again whenever the North Vietnamese repair it, forcing the North Vietnamese to move petroleum and gasoline in steel drums carried by trucks which also are attacked along the roads, Friedheim said. Defense officials have esti- mated that North Vietnam has enough petroleum products in its stockpile to last several months. Friedheim said there is no evidence that any Chinese engineer troops or laborers have gone to North Vietnam to help work on the pipeline or repair d-out railroads and bridges.

During the 1965-1968 phase of the air war, an estimated 50,000 Chinese railroad troops worked on this type of repair inside North Vietnam.

(AP) Those rules and regulations that the state's colleges had to formulate to maintain order on their campuses have been expanded by an appeals court decision to permit the suspension of a student for fighting.

The case involved Samuel Hanger, a student at the State University of New York at Binghamton, who was suspended by the school on March 26, 1972, for fighting after an intramural basketball game. The school had charged Hanger with violating the Rules and Regulations for the Malnte- Skyjacker aid charged DETROIT (AP) man who initially told the FBI he had unwittingly driven skyjacker suspect Martin McNally from Peru, to Detroit after an American Airlines 727 Jet was hijacked last week has been charged with aiding and abetting in the crime, the FBI said Friday. Walter John Petlikowsky, 31, of Ecorse, has been charged "with direct participation with McNally In a plan to hijack American Airlines Flight 119 at St. Louis," Neil Welch, special agent In charge of the Detroit FBI, said Friday. McNally, 31, of Wyandotte, Is being held in lieu of $100,00 bond on a charge of air piracy in the plot to hijack the plane for $502,000 ransom last week.

These are the regulations the state required for colleges and universities to be aoplied to campus disorders that involved militant student demonstrations. A special term of State Su preme Court had decided in favor of Hanger that these rules could not be applied in his case. The State University of New York appealed and was upheld by the Appellate Division of State Supreme Court. In its unanimous decision the appeals court rejected the contention of Hanger that the rules and regulations that were to be applied to militant student demonstrations could not be applied to him. The appellate justices said that there is nothing in the rules.

In their opinion the justices said, "the incident in question could be considered, as far as campus i is concerned, a breach of order on The ruling put Hanger's suspension hack in force. American challenger. Andrew Davis, Fischer's law- Fischer had booked a ticket and checked his bags on the plane, but then he hesitated. He got his luggage back and disappeared from Kennedy Airport in New York after holding up the flight for more than two hours. What Davis and officials of the Icelandic Chess Federation had to sort out was a fresh demand by Fischer for 30 per cent of the gate receipts collected during the match.

Without the extra money, he threatened to boycott the match scheduled to begin Sunday. It was learned that Gutmun- der Thorarisson, the federation president, spent most of the night in sometimes heated telephone conversation with Fischer's representatives in the United States. Thorarisson said late Friday that "nothing has been settled." Once Fischer earned the right to challenge Spassky, after eliminating a series of strong opponents in the challenge round, plans began to go awry for the "match of the century." There have been disputes over money, the site, lighting conditions, housing and even down to the kind of car the host federation should provide for Fischer. Until the new demand for a share of the gate, Fischer and Spassky had agreed to compete for the biggest prize in chess history: a division of $125,000 with five-eighths going to the winner, and an even split of 60 per cent of the film and TV rights sold to a promoter. scorns peace try BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) Protestant militants hijacked trucks Friday to build barricades in defiance of British troops and the Irish Republican Army.

The wave of hijackings began after the militants brushed off a rare conciliatory gesture by the IRA. The militant organization tore down several barricades around its Londonderry citadel. The IRA, apparently under pressure from Roman Catholic moderates inside the stronghold, agreed to dismantle the barriers after a secret meeting with British officials bidding to avert a head-on confrontation with the guerrillas planned by the Protestants. But the hard-line Ulster Defense Association--UDA--dismissed the gesture at "too little, too late" and went ahead with plans for the confrontation which could wreck the fragile cease-fire called by the IRA last Monday. The UDA, which boasts it can field 40,000 trained fighting men, plans to barricade their own districts in defiance of British warnings no more "no go" areas will be tolerated.

Reaction among congressmen ranges from "a little light in dark corners surely will be welcomed," coming Wyoming Democrat Roncalio, to "who the hell elected Ralph Nader to be the public's conscience" coming from a lawmaker who insists on anonymity.

A few legislators, including conservative Republican Rep. Samuel Devine of Ohio, say they just won't cooperate. But there appears to be a solid bipartisan majority in favor of going along; "any guy who gets the press this man Nader does, obviously can't be ignored by an elected public official," says ont veteran house staffer.

(AP) Northwest Airlines began what is normally one of its busiest holiday weekends on Friday with only two round trip flights because of a pilots' strike.

Northwest, the nation's seventh largest air carrier with from Boston to Hong Kong, was struck by the 1,600 pilots at 2 a.m. Friday after contract negotiations which had been going on for 18 months broke down over what a union spokesman said were fringe benefit Issues.
