Gran Daniel Richards, 31), a Springfield, Ohio, fork-lift operator, was nervous and had little to say at a hearing before U.S. Commissioner Edward P. Swan. His bond was continued at $250,000 afler the formal charge was lodged. Swan scheduled a preliminary hearing for Huli-ards next Wednesday.

Richards told Swan he had a $M5-a-week job, "but I've probably been tired by now." The hijacking of the Delta Convair 8110 Friday evening as the jet headed from Baltimore to Houston was the second such incident of the day and the eighth hijacking this year. Congress imposed the death penalty as punishment for air piracy following a previous series of hijackings in 1061.

Political Maneuvering Expected at Legislature Session one year residency requirement for public aid recipients. It, will cost Illinois an additional $72 million during proposed budget period. Shapiro and the GOP legislative leaders said the $00 million borrowed from motor fuel tax funds will be repaid before July of 1971.

They said remainder of the deficit will be covered by a "tightening of the belt." Capital improvements will be halted and new hiring by the state will stop. Shapiro said In Mwidav's activity, the House will meet as a committee of the whole to consider an "open occupancy" bill. During the last regular session of the General Assembly, only one "open housing" bill cleared the House despite numerous bill introductions. The bill that did pass was killed in a Senate committee. Arrington and Smith said the legislature would moot for about two weeks before adjourn-' ing.

They indicated they would not meet again until the start of the regular session in January. SPRINGFIELD, 111. (UPI) -Despite a bipartisan agreement last week to resolve the state's financial problems, Monday's reconvened session of the legislature will be dominated by political maneuvering. Leaders of both parties met with Gov. Samuel Shapiro last week and agreed to transfer $60 million from the state's motor fuel tax fund to the general fund in an attempt to avert a $127 million deficit by the end of June.

IHtiO. The harnmnv between tin- parties will be short lived, as Senate Majority Leader W. Russell Arrington, R-Evanston, said he will introduce a bill to override former Gov. Otto Kerner's veto of a stop-and-frisk bill. Kerner had vetoed the measure on the grounds it was unconstitutional.

In a recent ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the legality of such legislation. Democratic Gov. Samuel Shapiro will address the legislature Monday presenting his own package of anli-criine bills deal legislation to transler motor fuel tax funds. The present estimate a $127 million deficit, which could run higher was caused by three events: An Illinois Supreme Court ruling which overturned the broadened service occupation tax.

This would have brought in $140 million. Repeal of an inheritance tax amendment by the legislature which would have brought in $37.5 million. A U.S. Supreme Court rle invalidating the state to call for the registration of all guns. House Speaker Ralph T.

Smith, R-AIton, predicted that the lower house would not support further gun control measures. "I doubt if the members will go for stronger gun control at this time because of a measure now before Congress sponsored by Sens. Everett Dirksen and Charles Percy." Smith said. Party bickering was set aside to resolve the state's financial problem when agreement was reaebed to introduce bipartisan ing with gun control and stop-and-frisk legislation. Richard B.

Ogilvie, GOP gubernatorial candidate, has already made crime-in-the-streets the major Republican campaign issue. Arrington said it would be "foolish" to have further gun control legislation introduced at this time because of such legislation now before Congress. A firearm owners' registration law sponsored by Arrington was passed during the last regular session of the legislature. Shapiro's proposal is expected.
