BALTIMORE (UPI) Fortyeight BALTIMORE (UPI) Fortyeight Playboy bunnies have chosen Presidential adviser Henry A. Kissinger as "the man I'd most like to go out on a date with." Kissinger, whose White House assignments have led at least one belly dancer to flop into his lap, will not be on hand Friday for the formal award. A 15-foot high poster will be his stand in. Running second in the balloting was rock singer Eric Clapton and third was actor Burt Reynolds, the subject of a recent nude centerfold picture in Cosmopolitan magazine. "His eyes are so penetrating they make him look like he knows what's on your mind before you even say it," said bunny Lynn Cole about her vote for Kissinger.

"He looks so masculine and mature," added bunny Celine Foutz. "You can look at his picture and you just know he's a genius," commented bunny Dana Lasecki. Delegate Decision Delayed Continued from Page One mittee acted unconstitutionally in denying McGovern 151 of the California delegates. The Democratic party appealed to the Supreme Court on grounds the Credentials Committee had the power to act as it did. The Democratic brief contended the appeals court had "thrown the country into a constitutional crisis" by ruling on the selection of delegates to a political convention.

The Associated Press count of delegate strength put McGovern within 55 votes of a nominating majority--if he winds up with the California sweep. The tally stood this way, with 1,509 needed to nominate next Wednesday night: McGovern 1,454.65. Humphrey 398.55. Gov. George C.

Wallace of Alabama 367. Sen. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine 219.55. Uncommitted 425.65.

Without the contested California votes. McGovern would be more than 205 votes shy of a majority. The petition from the Daley forces claimed the appeals court "has totally ignored the Illinois election code and has superimposed requirements which disenfranchise the electorate and violate the rights of officeholders." The challengers who replaced the ousted Illinois delegates were selected by caucus while the original delegates were picked in an election. "It is imperative that this case be heard to vindicate the electoral process," the Daley forces said. "Irreparable harm will be done if election laws can be nullified and the losers substituted for the winners as representatives of the people." In a touch of irony, the Democratic Party found itself opposing the Illinois bid for a special term.

"Since this case does not involve an unprecedented judicial intrusion into the internal decision-making processes of a national political party," the party said it opposed the Daley forces' request. Legal researchers have found only three instances of special terms in the court's history. The most recent was a 1958 session dealing with the desegregation of a Little Rock, high school. 01 The Associated Press E. H.

-17 min MONTREAL (AP) "I'm shot. They've got me Lil. I'm done for. Kiss Me." These were the last words of Stanley Carter, 66, retired conductor with Canadian National Railways, to his wife. He was killed Wednesday in a gun battle between airplane hijackers and FBI agents in San Francischev decided to come down to San Diego for their dream home, for their Shangri-La, as they put it," Stanley Carter his eldest son, said in a telephone interview with the Montreal Star from San Francisco.

Married in 1939, Carter retired in 1970 after 54 years in the railway business. This week, Mr. and Mrs. Carter sold all their possessions except for a few treasured belongings and flew to California. The attempted hijacking came on the last leg of their trip, from Sacramento to San Diego.

"We came on to the plane and my husband said to go to the back," Mrs. Carter recalled. "In the back, there were only two seats on each side, instead of three. We took the seats on the left-hand side." "There were two fellows on the right-hand side. When we were in the air, the hostess said to us: 'I'll have to move "As we got out of my seats, my husband saw the guns but 1 didn't.

Then we moved up four or five seats in front. on the right-hand side." "Nobody knew anything until the plane landed in San Francisco. They thought it was just for refueling. Those stewardesses were wonderful. Dead Hijackers Came To U.S.

as Refugees aboard and take these guys into custody," Dugan said. "A lot of factors entered into it." "When we went aboard and they confronted our men with weapons aimed to shoot to kill, we fired and killed them first." Dugan said. When asked who shot first, he answered: "We did." Dugan said factors included the hijackers' demand to go to Siberia, the fact they were armed with three guns and held one at the pilot's head and their request for two parachutes although airline officials advised them it would be almost certain death to jump out the side exists of the Boeing 737 twin-engine plane. Dugan said the decision was due solely to circumstances and does not represent a new FBI policy. "We felt this was the right action.

It was unfortunate that a passenger was killed by a hijacker. But we went aboard to take the hijackers into custody and we didn't take them until they were he said. The hijackers, with heavily bleached hair, boarded the PSA 737 with three automatic pistols. Demanding $800,000, two parachutes and a flight plan for Siberia, they held 79 other passengers and five crew members hostage in San Francisco for nearly six hours. An FBI agent purporting to be an international pilot was allowed to board.

With the door open, he was followed by three other waiting agents who had sneaked below the plane. After a blaze of gunfire inside the crowded aircraft, the two hijackers were dead. Also fatally wounded was E. H. Stanley Carter, 66, a retired railway conductor from Longueuil, Quebec.

Two other passengers, like Carter believed hit by hijack- Continued from Page One Word Dropped From Story The word "except" was inadvertently dropped from a story in the Thursday News and Observer, giving an erroneous impression of a recommendation by Bert Montague, director of the Administrative Office of the Courts. Montague recommended to district and superior court judges that they rule out the possibility of an active prison sentence in most minor traffic cases and certain other misdemeanors. The recommendation would help the state comply with a U. S. Supreme Court ruling which requires counsel for indigent defendants in all cases where a prison sentence may be imposed.

The story should have said that Montague's tion would apply to 'any other (offense) under Chapter 20 of the state's General Statutes except for the more serious offenses such as racing, hitand-run driving, driving while license is 'Not a person was hysterical. Those three stewardesses were real troopers. "When we heard the first shots, we did not get up. My husband bent over and ducked. Then it sort of quietened down and he sat back.

Gormley, 46, Van Nuys, and Victor Yung, 56, who plays the cook in the television "Bonanza" series. Yung's condition was described by his hospital as good, as was Gormley's, although Gormley was in intensive care. Asked about the advisability of the FBI's opening fire in quarters crowded with passengers, FBI special agent Gebhardt said: "Certainly we're not pleased that three passengers were wounded, but somebody had to make a decision. We wanted to stop the hijacking, and stop it we Yung said he was surprised at the shooting, and "it's very difficult to say if the FBI did the right William Scott, a San Mateo County coroner's investigator, complained that the FBI removed some evidence, such as identity cards from the 737, when the case involved murder, a state offense. Sanford Indifferent To McGovern Rejection Continued from Page One take-all rule in California, under which McGovern first locked up all of the delegates there, but then lost about half through the credentials committee ruling.

"It simply is not fair and not in keeping with the spirit of the reform rules to let one state cast over 10 per cent of the total convention vote for a single candidate no matter what the popular vote was," said Sanford. Sanford thinks his own role at the convention will remain as a presidential candidate. "not as a broker, not as a wheeler-dealer for vice president for myself or for anyone that would simply destroy everything I am trying to What he is trying to do, he said, is "offer the background and the position of a candidate who could very well be the uniting point for a divided convention, if he gets to the point where that unity is needed." Sanford will arrive in Miami Beach this afternoon to assume that role. Petition Set He plans to be put in nomination for president after submitting a petition signed by "more than 50 delegates." Twenty-seven of the 64 North Carolina delegate votes are bound to Sanford on the first ballot by the state's new presidential primary law. Alabama Gov.

George Wallace is entitled to the other 37 votes on the first ballot, but about a dozen more individual delegates are believed ready to back Sanford on the second ballot. if it gets that far. Sanford said he would begin a "delegate by delegate" approach at Miami Beach. selling himself as the compromise candidate. As the first North Carolinian ever to make a serious bid for a presidential nomination.

Sanford has mobilized several score political associates. students, and hired hands for a full-fledged headquarters in Miami Beach. His organization is housed in the Di Lido Hotel, and he will also: have space in the big Robert Genhardt Fountainbleau Hotel. headquarters for the Democratic National Committee and the convention high command. An advance party of Sanford backers has been on hand for nearly a week, directed by Julian Scheer, a former Charlotte newsman and information chief of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Under the Dome Continued from Page One Heels may be a Saturday afternoon reception at the headquarters of Alabama Gov. George Wallace, the crippled candidate who got more than 50 per cent of the vote in North Carolina's first presidential preference primary on May 6. Wallace is scheduled to be at the reception. SALAIRES The Advisory Budget Commission rebuffed Gov. Bob Scott by turning down salary raises for six men who hold the new title of "secretary" in state government.

The six-man commission recently took the routine action of raising salaries of more than 60 top level state government officials by the regular five per cent increase which the General Assembly granted rank-and-file state workers. The commission decided that the six new officials who head big new departments set up under state government reorganization legislation didn't merit raises SO soon after taking office. Most have been in office less than six months. Scott. however, had submitted their names for raises as part of a list of those whose salaries the commission did raise, according to an official of the Department of Administration.

The budget commission decided against it. The salaries being collected bs the new officials are $29.500 by Dr. Lenox Baker, secretary of human resources: Charles Bradshaw, secretary of natural and economic resources. and Fred Mills. secretary of transportation and highway safety: $27.500 by Irvin Aldridge.

secretary of commerce, and $25.000 by Sam Ragan, segretary of art. history and cultural affairs. and John Lang, secretary of military and veterans affairs. HAWKE Raleigh businessman Jack Hawke, making his second bid for Congress, is getting some highpowered help from the Republican Congressional Committee. Hawke said Thursday he already has received half of the $10.000 in financial aid he will get from the committee.

But that's not all. Hawke also is on the receiving end of considerable Nixon Administration attention that has included talks with the President himself. Hawke admits he's getting all this help simply because the 4th District appears to party strategists to be ripe for plucking by Republicans in November. Hawke's Democratic rival is Ike Andrews of Siler City. DATA FOR RALEIGH-DURHAM July 7, 1972 Sunrise today 6 05 a.m.
