(AP) The Legislative Budget Board today recommended 3.4 per cent state employe pay raises for each of the next two fiscal years, plus extra funds for merit increases. Cost of the raises would be $56.5 million from the general revenue fund, the only state treasury account over which the legislature has significant control. Another $35.4 million would come from other funds.

"For all practical purposes, this is just a cost of living increase?" asked Sen. Tom Creighton, Mineral Wells. "That's right," answered the board's staff director, Tom Keel. Keel had just explained that the national consumer price measure of risen 3.16 per cent from September 1971 to September 1972. In addition to the across the board increases proposed by the remain through Friday, with a gradual warmup toward the end of the week.

Japanese prime minister clears way for election TOKYO (AP) Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka dissolved the Diet today, clearing the way for a general election Dec. 10 that will be his first test with the voters since coming to power in July. The election for 491 seats in the lower house of Parliament will be Japan's 33rd and its 12th since the end of World War II. Tanaka expects to win big, largely on the, strength of his foreign policy and particularly his trip to Peking and establishment of diplomatic relations with Communist China in September. A dynamic man who rose from rags to riches, Tanaka, 54, has a large following.

And his party, the Liberal-Democrats, has maintained a wide lead over main adversaries, the Socialists, since it was formed in 1955. At dissolution, this was the standing of the parties: Liberal- Democrat, 297; Socialists, 87; Komeito, 47; Democratic Socialists, 29; Communists, 14; Independents, 3. There were 14 vacancies. Reflecting confidence in victory, Tanaka is reported to have scheduled a special Diet session Dec. 22 and inauguration of his second cabinet on Christmas Day.

Tanaka's domestic program, a drastic face-lifting to resettle starting Sept. 1,1974. Averaged over all including those who won't get merit raises would amount to 1.7 per cent. The pay raises will be included in the state budget that the board will recommend to the legislature, which meets Jan. 9.

The pay recommendations could be changed before the board makes its final budget decision. The board consists of Lt. Gov. Ben Barnes, Speaker Rayford Price and eight House members and senators appointed by them. Lt.

Bill Hobby attended today's meeting. While recommending merit increases for rank and file em- ployes, the board voted to- eliminate 1.7 per cent merit raises for upper echelon em- the governor. Keel repeated what he told the board in industries in country areas, and feels a budget recommendation his defense policy are the chief can be submitted that would not dless of what the Supreme Court says. Raises recommended by the budget board were far below those proposed by the Texas Public Employes Association and the state classification officer, who administers the salary program. The TPEA wanted a 13.6 per' cent across the board raise effective Sept.

1,1973, with another 6.8 per cent a year later. Including additional "anniversary raises," merit increases and longevity boosts, the association's package would cost $114.3 million from general revenue, plus an additional $178.7 million from other funds. The classification officer proposed 6.8 per cent raises each year, with merit raises averaging 1.7 per cent per employe, for a total of $48.8 million from general revenue and $76.3 million from special funds. His proposal did not include state college and university faculty and staff, upper echelon em- ployes and judges, as did the budget board plan.

CHICAGO (AP) The president of the American Petroleum Institute said today oil imports increased nearly 18 per cent the first 10 months of 1972 despite virtual full capacity production from domestic facilities. Frank N. Ikard of Washington, D.C., said the nation's growing dependence on oil imports can be held within reasonable bounds only if comprehensive and coherent government policies are adopted. Such policies must encourage the development of -adequate domestic energy sources, Ikard said in a report submitted at the opening session of the annual meeting of the Institute, which represents all segments of the U.S.

petroleum industry. "Several groups in government are studying the situation and the petroleum industry is cooperating fully," he said, "Hopefully, industry and government can come up with a satisfactory answer." Ikard's report placed crude op and petroleum product imports for the first 10 months of the year at 4,442,000 barrels a day, or 17.9 per cent more than the same'period last year.

They had words of praise for the Southern Airways crew Chattanooga, Saturday. Southern refused to say how much money had been given to them.

There also were several other unanswered points: thehijackers screened for weapons when they boarded in Johnson told newsmen in a Miami hospital that the FBI gunfire "really provoked the hijackers. They told me they were going to kill me in front of everyone to make an example out of 1 Buchanan said the sr ducked as w)acta Another Southern DC9 returned the 27 passengers and four crewmen to Miami and finally to their original destinations Sunday after an attempt by FBI sharpshooters to halt the hijacking failed Saturday night and forced the emergency landing in Cuba. All three hijackers were taken into custody by Cuban officials at Havana. Passengers said Cuban authorities also confiscated ransom money demanded and collected by the hijackers from Southern. "Everyone thought they would be dead in an hour," said passenger Gale Buchanan at a Miami hospital, recalling how FBI agents shot out four of the plane's tires as it prepared for takeoff after a refueling stop at Orlando, Fla.

Buchanan, 35, of Auburn, who suffered a sprained knee, was one of four persons injured during the hijacking. Copilot Billy Johnson, 37, mayor of College City, was shot in the shoulder by one of the hijackers. Buchanan said the hijackers acted in a bizarre manner during the circuitous, three-nation flight. He said they alternately handed out fistfulls of ransom money, forced male passengers to remove their pants and shot the copilot after threatening to "put a bullet in your head." The hijackers, reportedly armed with guns and grenades, had demanded a $10-million ransom for the plane and its passengers. An undisclosed amount of money was given to the sky pirates during a stop in eered the plane Friday night? Cuba return the ransom money and the hijackers to the United States? -Why did the FBI order its marksmen to shoot the tires of the hijacked Southern DC9 and endanger the lives of the passengers and crew? An FBI spokesman declined to comment.

Police and family members identified the hijackers as Melvin Charles Cale, 21, of Oak Ridge, his half-brother, Lewis K. Moore, 27, of Detroit, and Henry D. Jackson, 25, also of Detroit. The FBI here said the U.S. attorney's office in Birmingham, had been authorized to file air-piracy charges against the three.

Cale was described as an escapee from the Nashville Community Work Release Center. Jackson and Moore were described as close friends who became embittered after losing a $4-million lawsuit in which they accused Detroit police of brutality. They were freed on $500 bond in a rape case last month. Buchanan said it was the hijacker called "Henry" who shot Johnson after FBI agents fire on the plane's tires Buchanan said the pilot, Capt. Bill Haas of LeGrande, was "as courageous a person as I ever met.

He instilled confidence." When an ambulance returned Johnson to the Southern relief plane after hospital treatment in Miami, passengers waiting to be flown to their original destination gave him a standing ovation. The flight out of Miami Sunday night, which retraced the hijacked plane's original course in reverse, marked the end of a hopscotch journey that started when the twin-engine jet was commandeered over Alabama Friday night. During its commandeered flight, the plane landed at Jackson, Cleveland, Ohio; Toronto, Canada; Lexington, Chattanooga; Havana; Key West and Orlando, and Havana again for a final landing. Along the way, the three hijackers demanded $10 million in ransom, threatened to crash the plane into a nuclear facility at Oak Ridge, and asked to talk by radio with President Nixon while the plane circled above the Florida White House bedside, she received a concussion and numerous cuts and abrasions in the accident. He said she lost control of the car when the vehicle ran over a slick spot in the pavement.

Heavy damage is reported to the car. Mrs. Henderson is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marvin (Lefty) Gardner of Brownwood.

The Gardners are also in Lampasas with their daughter. Henderson said this morning he expects his wife to be released from the Lampsas hospital soon. Continued from Page around 11:30 p.m. They began again this morning and Mr. Ellison's body was found about 7 a.m.

Hennig said the victim had not been wearing a life preserver jacket or belt. However, Berg, was wearing a lifesaving device, Mr. Ellison was born April 7, 1942'iVMcCuilocti County and was a technical service for National Cash Register. He was a Baptist and had lived in Brownwood 10 months, but lived most of his life in Brown and McCulloch counties. He married Geneva Gilbreath Jan.

18, 1963 at Brownwood. Survivors include his wife; two daughters, Eva Ellison and Deborah Ellison, both Brownwood; one son, Jerry Wayne Ellison of Brownwood; his mother, Mrs. Clemis Ellison of Fort Worth; and his grandmother, Mrs. Myrtle Peterson of Vancouver, Wash. at Key Biscayne, Fla.

Nixon's deputy press secretary, Neal Ball, said presidential aides "decided that such a conversation would not be helpful." After the first landing in Havana on Saturday, the hijackers ordered Haas to take of Prime Minister Fidel Castro refused to meet personally with them. After, a refueling stop at Key West, the DC9 landed at Orlando's McCoy Air Force Base, where FBI marksmen shot four tires. Big chunks of tire rubber and large amounts of oil were found on the runway.
