Although the budget is up $1,657,890, or 4.9 per cent over the 1972 budget, the mill levy required to finance the proposed budget is estimated at 33.152 mills as compared to the 33.157 mill levy for the 1972 budget. THIS IS A decrease of .005 of a mill an amount that would be hardly noticeable to city taxpayers. It would, however, be the fifth year in row that the city government ent held its mill levy to 33 mills, and the fourth consecutive year that the city levy decreased.

The $34.9 million figure does not include the budget for the city utilities, which is not ready for distribution. The utility budget, however, is supported by fees, rather than property taxes. OF THE $34.9 million, only $18,595,486 actually is raised from property taxes. The remainder comes from state sales tax refunds and other state taxes, franchise taxes, licenses and permits, delinquent tax collections, interest and unencumbered cash balances. Translated to dollars from the taxpayers' pocketbooks, the proposed 1973 city budget would cost $33.15 per $1,000 of assessed valuation.

On a $10,000 home, assessed at 30 per cent of true value, this means a homeowner would pay $99.45 in taxes to support city government (on $3,000 of assessed valuation). On a $20,000 home, assessed al 30 per cent or $6,000, the property owner would pay $198.90 in city taxes.

A PAN AMERICAN spokesman in Hong Kong said, "As far as we can tell now, the hijacker's name is believed to be Nguyen Thai Binh, but no passport or ticket for him has yet been found. It is believed he boarded the plane at Honolulu." The man carried a package he claimed was the bomb in one hand and a switchblade knife in the other. He said he intended to blow up the aircraft after reached Hanoi in a "revenge act" for the U.S. bombing of North Vietnam, the pilot said. AFTER LANDING at Saigon on a pretext of refueling, Vaughn, 53, of Scottsdale, and two passengers got the air pirate off guard, knocked the "bomb" from his hand and wrestled him to the floor.

During the struggle, Vaughn rolled away and ordered the passenger with the gun to "kill the son of a bitch." The passenger, identified as a former Richmond, policeman traveling to a job with a U.S. firm in Saigon, fired five shots into the hijacker from a .357 Magnum pistol. HIS NAME was not given out in Saigon. All passengers and crew, numbering about 150, slid down inflated plastic emergency chutes to safety. Some received minor bruises and scratches and one passenger, U.S.

Air Force Lt. Col. Louis Seig, Colorado Springs, broke his leg leaving the plane. The crew said in Saigon the plane, carried 136 passengers crewmen. Vaughn gave this account: About 45 minutes after Pan Am Flight 841 from San Francisco, Honolulu and Guam took off from Manila for Saigon, the young man passed notes to the cabin crew threatening to detonate a bomb unless the plane was diverted to Hanoi, the capital of North Vietnam.

The hijacker had taken a Hong Kong Chinese stewardess, May Yuen, 23, hostage. Using a crew telephone in the rear cabin, the hijacker negotiated in fluent English with Vaughn over the plane's intercom while the first officer proceeded to Saigon. Vaughn told the young man he would divert to Hanoi but first the plane would have to be refueled and contact would have to be made with North Vietnamese authorities before crossing the demilitarized zone. After the plane landed at Saigon, Vaughn entered the passenger compartment. The hijacker have deceived me!" "Let's talk about it," Vaughn said, inching toward the hijacker, who began to threaten the pilot with a small package he held in one hand.

"I stopped, but kept talking to him and managed to move a couple of feet forward without his noticing," Vaughn said.

Gerald Gallinghouse of New Orleans said the charges allege the explosives were to be sent to Mexico for "future transshipment to another country, presumably Cuba." IN ADDITION, two of those arrested were charged with knowing "the material would be used in an attempted overthrow of a foreign nation." Gallinghouse refused to say specifically that the nation to be overthrown was Cuba. But when asked about the two separate statements indicating Cuba, he said, "That's self-explanatory."

REYKJAVIK, Iceland -Bobby Fischer, who still has not arrived for his championship chess match with Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union, has been granted a two-day extension, until noon Tuesday, to appear here. If he does not show up by then, he will be disqualified from the match, which had been scheduled to start Sunday. The decision to grant Fischer an extension was made by Max Euwe of Amsterdam, president of International Chess Federation. Euwe, the world's chess champion from 1935 to 1937, was pessimistic. "I think there will be no play at all," he said.

All nine were charged with conspiring to smuggle munitions to Mexico.

Gallinghouse said agents were looking for Diaz, identified only as a person claiming to be a resident of Mexico. Federal officials also said (Turn to Page 8A, Col. 6) The Russians were not available for direct comment, but Euwe said Spassky has neither agreed nor disagreed with the ruling. Spassky, however, was quoted as saying he had waited for over a week and he could wait another two days. He reportedly was doing this out of deference to his Icelandic hosts.

FRED CRAMER, REPRESENTING FISCHER, said the Russians did not wish to ret a in the title on a technicality, and had acted in a sportsmanlike manner. Spassky obviously had been eager for a match with Fischer, and has been distressed by his tactics. But he has constantly acted with grace under pressure, and all of his responses have been those of a gentleman. If Fischer is disqualified, a series of complicated legal battles is going to delight lawyers for a long time. There is, for instance, the matter of the prize money.

If it is decided that the Spassky-Fischer match never legally started, there will be no problem. But if the match has indeed started, Spassky will be the automatic winner because of Fischer's disqualification, and he will be entitled to demand 62.5 per cent of the $125,000 purse. Fischer will be entitled to nothing.
