Hijackers A Passee Killed PS ger Today's Headlines Inside fthtSutt World LP v- By LYNNE OLSEN SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Two armed hijackers were shot and killed by FBI agents yesterday after one gunman fatally wounded a passenger and shot two others on a commandeered Pacific Southwest Airlines plane, authorities said. The hijackers had held 79 passengers and five crew members captive in the 737 jetliner for more than six hours on a runway at San Francisco International Airport, demanding $800,000 cash, two parachutes and passage to Siberia, PSA said. FBI special agent-in-charge Robert Gebhardt said that after the two hijackers refused to release passengers, FBI agents entered the plane. One was dressed as a pilot, Gebhardt said, and was carrying the ransom money and parachutes.

He said one of the hijackers ordered the agent to strip to his underwear to show he was unarmed. The first agent entered the plane, Gebhardt said, and was followed by three other agents who had landed from a power boat behind the plane and reached the ramp under the fuselage. Gebhardt said the first hijacker, who was armed with two handguns, was shot dead by the second agent to enter the plane. He said the second hijacker opened fire from the rear of the plane, hitting three passengers before he, too, was shot down by an FBI man. The dead passenger was identified as E.

H. Stanley Carter, 66, of Longueuil in Quebec, Canada. The FBI identified the dead hijackers as Dimitr Alexiev, 28, of Hayward, and Michael Azmanoff, 28, no address. The injured passengers were identified as Leo R. Gormley, 46, of Van Nuys, and Victor Sen Yung, 56, of Universal City, who plays the cook in the television series Both were listed in fair condition.

In the Illinois portion of the decision, a unanimous court held that the party does have the right to impose requirements on delegate selection. The Credentials Committee had ousted the 59 Illinois delegates for violation of those requirements.

The Credentials Committee stripped McGovern of the California delegates by deciding to apportion them among all candidates by the amount of votes each received in a presidential primary.

The circuit court held that while the apportionment might be more fair than the winner-tnke-all manner in which the primary was set up, changing the rules after the game was over "was inconsistent with fundamental principles of due process."

The cooperating motorists were givpn replacement cars until their vehicles were returned. "We found the average cost of making needed improvements was $22 per car," McMinn said. The allowable emission standards represent a compromise between what environmentalists wanted and what motorists would stand for. "We must have done a good job," McMinn said, "We pleased nobody." The standards are most lenient for they will cost the motorist. "We don't want people to leave a station needing a $5 adjustment and wind up paying for an overhaul," said Robert W.

Some of the cars were worked r.n by state mechanics; others were farmed out to commercial New York Time New Service, WAYNE, N.J. New Jersey yesterday became the first state to begin routine inspection of automobile exhaust systems in an effort to reduce levels of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons in the atmosphere. The 30-second examination, which involves placing a metal probe in a car's tailpipe to obtain readings of the emission levels when the engine is idling, was given to all cars at the Wayne and Merchantville inspections stations and will become part of the inspection routine by Sept.

Motorists whose cars do not meet the standards before that date will be advised and asked to make needed adjustments and repairs and come back for a re-examination on a voluntary basis. The state is interested in the months ahead to learn how efficient corrective procedures are and how much.
