Forty-five minutes after the jet left Manila for the two-hour run to Saigon with 153 persons aboard, the hijacker showed a 10-inch switchblade knife and a package he said contained a bomb to one of the stewardesses, May Yuen of Hong Kong. He said he would blow up the plane if he were not taken to Hanoi.

Miss Yuen passed a message to Cap. Gene Vaughn, the 53-year-old pilot. Cap. Vaughn ignored the note, and another came, this one stained with the hijacker's blood. "This indicates how serious -I am about being taken to Hanoi," the note said.

The steward said that the hijacker bad a briefcase with 60 or so photographs of antiwar demonstrations some of which showed him speaking before crowds.

He also dropped the jet to 4,500 feet to minimize decompression if there were an explosion.

Wall Street is especially uneasy over McGovern's proposals some of which he has modified excess profits taxes on corporations, grant $1,000 to every citizen to help families earning up to $12,000 a year, curtail defense spending sharply, change the tax status of municipal bonds and tax inheritances above $500,000 at 77 pei cent.

It also agreed to include 10 women with one-half vote each in the 27 delegates committed to Sen. Humphrey.

Maryland Wallace lost three delegates on grounds they had not been apportioned according to party rules. Humphrey picked up two of the delegates and McGovern the third. The action was a compromise proposed by Lt. Gov. Blair Lee HI.

Virginia Challengers in the 4th District, involving three-of four delegate seats, agreed on a compromise to share the seats on a one-half-vote-per-de'legate basis.

The committee apportioned 151 of the state's 271 votes among presidential contenders Hubert H. Humphrey, George C.

Wallace and others. McGovern, still the easy front-runner with 1,276.9 committed votes with 1,509 needed for nomination, indicated Sunday he would be willing to compromise on the challenges to the California delegation, which he lost, and to the Illinois delegation, which his forces won. "If I thought it would serve the interests of a stronger party and heal some of these wounds and not do any violence to the rules of the party, I would support a compromise," he said on ABC's "Issues and Answers" program.

Over the next two years, this official added, "it seemed to get more important the reports were coming more frequently," It could not be learned how many specific missions were carried out in any year. One former high-ranking official said in an interview niat by the end of 1971, the program, which had been given at least three different code names since' the middle '60s, was under the direct control of the White House.

Interviews determined that many usually well-informed members of the Nixon administration had been kept in the dark. In the last year, there have been repeated inquiries and publicly posed questions by members of Congress about the weather modification programs in SouJbeasfAsia, but no accurate information has been provided to them by the Department of Defense. "This kind of thing was a bomb, and Henry restricted information about it to those who had to know," said one well-placed government official, referring to Henry A. Kissinger, the President's adviser on national security. Nonetheless, the official said, 'I understood it to be a spoiling action that this was descriptive of what was going on north of the DMZ with the roads and the SAM sitejs." Another source said most of the weather -modification activities eventually were conducted with the aid and support of the South Vietnamese.

"I think we were trying to teach the South Vietnamese how to fly the cloud-seeding missions," source said. ininMnrrnini Alsco's Thermo-Prime keeps your home warm, dry and always good looking i.
