Jordan claimed two Israeli planes were shot down and said the pilot of the. first one bailed out and was killed. It did not say how.

Israel admitted the loss of one of its French Mysteres and said the pilot bailed out over Jordanian territory. The Israeli Army also announced that one Israeli was killed and one wounded by Jordanian shelling. It claimed six Jordanian tanks and one armored car destroyed. Amman Radio said the Jordanians lost only one military vehicle and there were no casualties to Jordanian personnel. It claimed Israeli tanks and other equipment were set ablaze, two Israeli gun positions were destroyed and most of their personnel were killed.

The ICC, in a 143-page unanimous decision, also ordered the Penn-Central to share in the operating losses of the New Haven.

The commission also set the terms for including the New Haven into the giant merged Penn-Central System. Shares, Bonds OKd It gave the Pennsylvania Railroad authority to issue 950,000 shares of its common stock: which closed Monday on the New York Stock Exchange at $23 million worth of 25-year bonds to pay for the assets of the New Haven, plus 8 million in cash. The ICC also approved, in the same order, the first step to-, wards reorganizing the New Havennamely, the sale of its assets to Penn-Central. It said that further proceedings would have to be held on the second step of the reorganizationhow the proceeds of the sale will be divided between New Haven stockholders and bond holders. Considering the debts of the New Haven, the commission said that the actual cast to Penn-Central of acquiring the New Haven assets is about $159Nmillion.

Valued Downward The ICC found that figuring the value of the New Haven was exceedingly difficult. The total value of assets on New Haven books is about $384 million.

It was the first instance since time immemorial when the Civil Service eligible list contained only career employes, an indication, perhaps, that the U.S. Civil Service Commission had had the word to be guided 41'strictly by the book." The so-called examination administered by Civil Service is not the -usual objective test given by that agency to determine an applicant's knowledge of subject matter and qualifications. It is subjective. It calls for local residence, in fact as well as technicality, a factor that prompted John G. W.

Ma-henna, former suburban editor of The Eagle, to withdraw. his application for the job because he has been working and living in Washington, D.C., for the past five years. It also calls for considerable postal and-or business experience, a qualification which gives Civil Service "testers" considerable leeway in "marking" examinations. The job has a starting pay of about $11,200, but Hamilton, as assistant postmaster with 42 years of service, already is receiving more pay than that. He'll go in at about 913,000, and with a postal pay raise pending, the salary will be nearer to 915,000.

Apart from summer bellhop-ping at the Maplewood Hotel while he was student in Pitts U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy announced today that he has recommended to President Johnson the promotion of Asst. Postmaster James B.

Hamilton, 63, to postmaster. The recommendation, on the basis of tradition in the U.S. Senate, is tantamount to appoint me tit. Sen. Kennedy, guessed last night that the appointment -from President Johnson would be up for confirmation by Congress "sometime in January." In the meantime, Robert B.

Dillon, who stepped down in August 1965, from the office of mayor of Pittsfield to become acting postmaster, will continue to serve. Hamilton is the first career man in the history of the Pittsfield Post Office to be named postmaster and is the first non-veteran to be recommended for the job since World War H. Up to now, a political portfolio has been the most important qualification of a postmaster. Topped List "On the basis of the testimonials that have poured into this office," Sen. Kennedy said, "I am sure that the Promotion for Mr, Hamilton will have universal approval within the community.

But for me, the overriding factor was that Hamilton topped a Civil Service list of highly qualified eligibles." On the list, after Hamilton, were James B. Donovan, superintendent of mails, with 25 LONDON (UPI)Prime Minister Harold Wilson put the devalued pound on the money market for the first time today and it came through with flying colors. It got off to a strong start, well above the new parity' of $2.40 set by the government Saturday. Formerly it was worth $2.80. A powerful boost from the United States and other major financial centers helped when London markets opened after being closed Monday.

Wilson was reliably reported planning a major cabinet reshuffle designed to shore up his government's sagging prestige. Buying Opens Heavy The pound's first devaluation test came when banks and the London Foreign xchange market reopened this morning. Heavy initial buying pushed the opening rate to nearly $2.42. This was partly due to the prospect of standby credits of $3 billion the British government expects to get from the International Monetary Fund and foreign central banks. When Wilson and his Cabinet members entered Parliament Monday for the initial confrontation after devaluation, Conservative members shouted "Out Out" and "Resign!"

The mass evacuation was ordered Saturday night after a railroad tank car containing the chlorine and 48 other, cars derailed about a mile from the business district. Fire broke out in the wreckage and for a time officials feared an explosion -might release- all the gas at once. Hussein in Touch Amman said King Hussein, now in London, was in constant telephone contact with his brother, Crown Prince Hassan, until the fighting stopped, and that Jordan's delegate to the United Nations had befn instructed to inform members of the battle. The Israelis said their air force went into action after the Jordanians moved tanks up to the cease-fire line and opened up across the river on a wide front.

The Jordanians charged that the Israelis began the attack with artillery and tank fire, then called in their planes when Jordanian positions returned the fire. It was the fourth consecutive day of firing across the river. The Jordanian communique said the Israeli attack was concentrated in the area of the Al' levby Bridge, 10 miles north of the Dead Sea and about 260 miles west of Amman, the Jordanian capital. The Israeli spokesman said the firing stopped at 10:55 a.m. (3:55 a.m.

With tighter consumer credit in Britain already threatening auto sales there auto makers will now have to increase their export sales of British made cars to make up for the money that will be lost in converting ths devalued pound to the American dollar, an industry source said. "The over-all outlook isn't that rosy," the source said. All the Big Three firms have subsidiaries in Britain and other countries.

General Motors makes Vauxhalls in Britain. Ford of Britain makes Anglias, Corinas, Zephyrs and Zephyr Zodiacs. Chrysler owns 77 per cent of Rooter Motor Co. in England. The immediate effect of the pound devaluation, making it worth $2.40 rather than $2.80, is to cut the price of all British export goods by about 14 per cent.

This will give the Big Three's British subsidiaries an edge in competing on the world market.

The two provisions were tacked on to the omnibus Social Security Monday during the fourth day of Senate floor debate. The Measure remained before senators today as Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield pressed for final Senate action by Wednesday.

Many important amendments remain to be considered. The Elderly Cost Less Security administration experts said this would boost payments by $250 million a year since it would mean averaging of costs over all classes of patients. Elderly patients generally cost less than younger ones, they said, and up to now the adnfinistration has insisted on limiting reimbursement closely to the costs for the specific old persons involved.
