Meanwhile, federal investigators in Florida confirmed that they subpoenaed hotel records to check Irving's claim that he met with Hughes in Key Biscayne last September. It was one of several probes on both rides the Atlantic into mysteries surrounding the book Irving says Is an antofaiograpby he compiled with Hughes' coop- erstton. IRVING, who has been quoted saying that his wife was the woman who withdrew from a Swiss bank McGraw- Hill Publishing Co. had intended for Hughes, is to appear Monday before a Manhattan grand jny.

Another date with a federal grand jury also was reported pending for Irving, 41. Time, saying those who have seen the Irving manuscript "agree it contains the words and thoughts of Howard Hughes," added: "Time has learned that such material may in fact have come from an extraordinary computer printout that has been compiled for eventual use by Hughes. "The document, sappuseUly avaBabte a few current or armer members of tbe Hughes organtattan, contains virtually everything that has ever been published about Hughes, as wefl as thousands of memoranda dictated for and by Hughes- material 1 for a dozen 'authentic' books. "THE unm-iMfr scenario is that bring somehow obtained some or an of the material in the printout. It has been rumored, for example, that an agry former employe from the Hughes operation brought the material to Irving.

"If this story happens to be troe, Irving would probably not have needed many accomplices--except for an excellent forger and his wile, who opened the bank account," Time said. Operation Of Rings Detailed HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) A convicted burglar, detailing the operations of a burglary ring for the State Crime Commission, has opened the door to a crackdown on similar burglary rings, according to Atty. Gen. J.

Shane Creamer. Creamer, commenting Saturday on astatement from James Wardrop, 38, of Youngstown, said one of the first things he will seek are stiff penalties for persons acting as tipsters for professional burglars. WARDROP, who is awaiting sentence pending an appeal on a burglary conviction, claimed the work of tipsters, those who know a good mark and how best to get at it, is crucial to the work of an organized theft ring. Creamer said he felt a charge of conspiracy usually lodged against tipsters is not enough. "We're going to sweep the nation looking for innovative laws on the sabject," Creamer said.

Wardrop said be was part of a ring thai netted some in stolen goods in Pennsylvania in 1961. Creamer said investigators have checked his statement and have been unable to find fault with it. In return for his cooperation, Wardrop has been promised immunity for himself in testifying aeiiMt his coOeagaes. He also has special visiting privileges lor his friends and family, a color television and, more importantly, around-the-clock police protection. Neither Irving nor his attorney could be reached immediately for comment.

(AP) The difficult task of finding an impartial jury to try antiwar priest PbQip Berrigan and six others accused of conspiring to force an end to the Vietnam War in an alleged plot that reached into the White House moves into its second week Monday. NO ONE has been seated yet in the VS. District Court Jury box, and it may take another week or two before a jury is selected.

The interrogation is slow and sometimes boring lawyers ask the same question over and over of each person and this is expected to continue at the present deliberate, probing pace. Opposing attorneys, joined by Judge R. Dixon Herman, are searching the views and feelings of the prospective jurors to determine if they can render a verdict strictly on the evidence they hear in court, and not on what they may have read in newspapers and magazines, or heard on radio, television, in a bar or in someone's living room. "The jory must be as impartial and as free of prejudice as we can possibly find," insists Leonard Boudin, one of the eight defense lawyers. He is also coonsd for Daniel Ells- berg, accused by the government, in another antiwar case, of exposing the secret Pentagon Papers.

Her case is one of several in the nation in recent years to raise legal questions about the rights of U. S. property owners confronted with the imposing power of urban renewal. The case, which may become a landmark decision, also illustrates how difficult it is to fight a city's power of eminent domain.

A companion measure still before the Senate, not expected to move until the House acts on the reforms, would raise weekly benefits.

The sticking point in the House is a dispute over one of the reforms, a provision to place 30 workmen's compensation referees under civil service. Majority House Democratic leaders said the reforms will not pass until this issue is resolved. A GROUP of Democrats, led by members from want to keep the referees under the patronage system. At stake are more than 300 jobs, including the referees and supportive personnel, such as clerks and stenographers.

NEW YORK (AP) A former mental patient who capped a bizarre career of crime and confinement by hijacking a jetliner was reported recovering at Bellevue hospital Sunday from bnDet wounds in the shoulder and hand. His condition was described as "alert and stable." FBI agents stood guard over Garrett Brock Trapnell, 33, whose history was said to include psychiatric treatment in nine hospitals, three escapes, piloting a stolen plane from California to the Bahamas, and six bank robberies in Canada.

At various times authorities have described him as "a James Bond type," "extremely dangerous," and "a real ladies' man." HE WAS shot Saturday by an FBI agent who boarded the hijacked Trans World Airlines plane at Kennedy Airport disguised as a relief crew member. The 93 other passengers and seven crew members were unharmed. The shooting ended a 74-hour drama, which started when Trapnell pulled a gun from a fake plaster arm cast midway on a flight from IAS Angeles to New York. With a fully loaded automatic pistol pointed at a stewardess, he made a series of wild de- mands and threats over the plane's radio. He demanded freedom for Angela Davis and to speak with President Nixon.

He wanted to be Down to Europe and to Texas. Deaths ANDRES, Michael, in BECK, Mrs. Gkra, BEKHNER, Scfhla, HeOmaa DEETS, Mrs. Deiae, FraaUhi Star RMte EARLEY, wnils, New BetUrana FAIR, Weil MMtereyRD 1 HANNON, Mn. Belt, Ncrft HOOD, Mrs.
