At the doctors request, an Continued from Page 1 needs of patieht at a convalescent hospital top responsibility of the hospital staff and that the staff does what has tbe done. One of Villorias physicians, Dr. Wayne Mall, Villorias family, the Welfare De partment and the hospital all made pleas to the department lto keep Villoria under the full care.

1 Villoria died the day- after he was admitted and Rosen-blum said, after a nurse of the Health Care Services Department told the head nurse at Parkmont Hospital over the tfj autopsy was performed, the results of which are not yet final, the Coroners office said today. I I The nurse in charge -at the time Villoria was admitted, Mrs. Marianne Qvenneville, R.N., wrote in her report on the death: When a doctor states mi progress notes that a patient is not able to provide self-care as a registered nurse I could accept his judgment. I asked how Mrs. Ludwig Department of Health Services nurse in charge) herself a R.N.

could overrule a physicians evaluation or opinion. Mr. Moss said he had discussed the case with Mrs. Ludwig in the morning following my conversation with her and he said he would look into it further. Mrs.

Lambert, also a patient of Dr. Mall, died at the Fremont Convalescent Hospital at 12:10 a.m. on June 24, shortly after she had been moved from a portable oxygen system to an oxygen mask at bedside. The clinical cause of death was respiratory arrest, and no autospy was ordered. With the help of the portable the WQRLD CHESS CHAMP BORIS SPASSKY WAITS FOR AMERICAN CHALLENGER Thumbs up gesture for fans outside his Reykjavik hotel (AP) Viets Chase Reds Linde Walker oxygen system, Mrs.

Lambert had been ambulatory for the past two years, visiting friends throughout the hospital and spending up to two hours at a time with her visiting family. The oxygen therapy must be continued by the Linde Walker method continuously for an indefinite period of time because discontinuing it would cause her to again be bedridden and experience a more rapidly progressing downhill course, Dr. Mall wrote June 15 to district administrator Moss. But the doc-tors recommendation was overruled by Moss department and Mrs. Lambert was given a bedside oxygeh mask instead.

Moss told The Tribune today he does not recall the Lambert case. Increased apprehension, confusion and fear were noted with the changed oxygen system and the patients condition continued to deteriorate until death came, Rosenblum wrote in his report of Mrs. Lamberts death. It all comes down to politics and money, Rosenblum said. The Department of Health Care Services changed) policies effective June 1, following Medi-Cal regulation Title 22, Division 3, the effect halting all reimbursement for permanent life-long portable oxygen Rosenblum explained that the portable system costs the state $17 per day, while a conventional system, which keeps the patient bedridden costs $9 per day.

The state is saving money and the hospitals cant afford to take over, not at a payment of only $14 per patient per day, Rosenblum said. Moss, who admitted that saving money is an important consideration in his departments decisions, said today the department is reviewing the oxygen allotment policies and may change them in the next few days. SAIGON (AP) A young Vietnamese man who tried to hijacTTai Pan American jumbo je wjyj 153 persons aboard to nanoj revenge; of North for U.S. Vietnam bombing was overpowered by the pilot and shot to death by an armed passenger yesterday. The hijacker was tentatively identified today as a speaker at antiwar at the University of Washington in Seattle, where he had studied fishery science on a U.S.

government scholarship and graduated with honors The young man, carrying a South Vietnamese passport in the name Nguyen Thai Binh, met violent death after the pilot tricked him and landed at Saigon, the flights scheduled destination, in defiance of his demand to fly to North Vietnam. The 135 other passengers were safely evacuated by sliding down emergency chutes, used to empty the plane quickly in case of explosion. Several suffered minor scratches or bruises and one passenger, a U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonel, broke his leg. To back up his threats, the hijacker carried a long knife and a package which he said contained a bomb.

Vietnam-police sources said two home-made grenades were in the package and there was no indication whether they could have exploded. But the airline described them as harmless -s a wrapped in aluminum foil. The hijacking attempt began after the jumbo jet, flight 841, left Manila on the. last leg of its San Francisco-to-Saigon flight Binh, who had boarded in Honolulu, grabbed stewardess May Yuen, 23, a Hong Kong Chinese, as a hostage and sent two notes tohe control cabin demanding that the plane be diverted to Hanoi. The hijacker, in the rear passenger compartment, also talked with the pilot, Capt.

Gene Vaughn, 53, of Scottsdale, over the intercom. I am doing this for revenge, Vaughn said he told him. Your bombers are maiming and killing our people of the Democratic Republic of North Vietnam. You are going to fly me to Hanoi and this airplane will be destroyed when we get there.

The newspaper said the Nixon administration did not act on ITTs 18-point plan, but later applied certain measures of its own against Alendes government.

The Times said the plan was sent by William R. Mer-qj, JTTs vice president in charge of Washington-' relations, to Peter G. Peterson, then assistant Nixon for internal nomic affairs and tary of commerce. The newspaper said it had seen copies of a letter and memorandum sent by Mer-riam to the White House on Oct. 1.

That was two days, after Chile put under provisional state administration the Chilean telephone company, in which ITT held a 70 per cent interest. The Times said ITTs plan went afar beyond ITTs policy proposals of 1970 intended to block Allendes inauguration. The 1970 proposals were revealed. in documents made g' public last March by columnist Jack Anderson. -ITTs 1971 plan called-for economic warfare against White House task force assisted by the Central Intelligence Agency! the subversion of the Chilean armed forces; consultations with foreign gov-' ernments on ways to put pressure on the Allende regime, and diplomatic sabotage, the Times said.

In Seattle, the University of Washington Fisheries School said a 24-year-old Vietnamese named Iguyen Thai had graduated with honors last month.

Bihn had attended the university on a scholarship from the Agency for International Development. The scholarship ended with his graduation. Officials of the school "called Binh -a quiet student who be-. ame actively involved in the anti-Vietnam war movement during his senior year.

Two passengers made flying tackles and we all went down on the floor. Vaughn said he managed to move his body away from the Vietnamese while keeping the arm lock on him and shouted to an unidentified armed passenger Kill the son of a bitch. Five shots were fired, four hitting Binh in the chest. Vaughn said a few minutes later he couldnt stand the sight of the dead hijacker in his plane and he pitched the boogied body just like a foot- ball to the concrete taxiway below. Authorities withheld the name of the passenger who shot Bihn, but another traveler said he was a former policeman from Richmond, coming to Saigon to work for an American firm.

The pilot said the man had checked his .357 Magnum pistol with him when he boarded the plane and that before confronting the hijacker he returned it and asked the man to help. The big 747 has two aisles. Vaughn approached the hijacker down one aisle while the armed passenger went down the other. At a news conference in Hong Kong, where the plane went for repair of its emergency gear, the captain displayed a souvenir, the sixth cartridge from In a very real way, higher, education is a victim of its own successes, says the University of Californias Earl Cheit.

Page 1 fairs, has proposed a package containing several alternative offers. One is to double the prize money for the match which is now $125,000. The winner would get $78,125 under present terms. An increased prize would mean that the winner gets $151,000 and the loser $104,000. The money is mine, said Slater.

I hope the offer is being relayed this afternoon. I like chess and have played it for years. Many want to see this match and everything has been arranged. If Fischer does not go to Iceland, many will be disappointed. The alternative is to give a straight $130,000 extra to the winner, 1 i his prize money up to $208,000.

"The idea is to remove the problem of money fron Fischer and see if he has any oth-. ers, said Slater. London bookmaker William HUl made Fischer odds-on favorite to defeat Spassky- and gain the world championship. Fischer was quoted at 2-1 which means one dollar paid out for every two dollars bet. Spassky was quoted at 6 to 4 against, meaning $6 won for every $4 bet.

Slaters voffer came as the championship match was threatened with collapse." Fischer told the New York Daily News he wouldnt yield. The six-man board of the sponsoring Icelandic Chess Federation was reported unanimously opposed to paying Fischer the extra money. One board member called Fischers gambit a blatant attempt at extortion. The board met until the early hours today with Fischers lawyer, Andrew Davis. Ai spokesman said there was no progress.

It said the pilot was not found despite a search. American troop strength in Vietnam dropped to 48,000 men last week, a decrease of 6,000 men that brought the total 1,000 below President Nixons July 1 target. This total in the country does not include some 100,000 U.S.

This could happen again and lead to no one knows where. The current agreement represents concessions on both sides; but, since Pakistan has lost its curious Eastern appendage that now is the independent Bangaldesh, it probably gave up most.

Growth Catches Up With USF mi Continued from Page 1 freshmen People say theyd like to get a degree from USF, says Fa: ther Jonsen, but they decide to put in a year or two at State or City (College of San Francisco) to get the low cost, and then transfer here.

Getting students to use its residence halls is another major budget problem for USF. In the urban setting, students find housing, that offers freedom and, with some sharing, less cost. So USF-has 17 major buiffiK ings and space for perhaps 500 more students. Maintaining that boom-time plant is costly, but the people who put up the construction money didnt provide for upkeep. 1 Taking on a host of modern missions, USF spread its resources thjn.

It offers a good education to its mainstream-America students but has to help them pay for it. For those who cant quite pay, low-cost public competition is blocks away. Since 1966-67, USF has run up over $2 million in operating deficits. In kind, USF is a typical American college no more than any other.
