The pilot then heaved the dead hijacker to the concrete taxi-way at Tan Son Nhut Airport.

House Rejects Senale Budget Version State Broke, Shapp Asks Flood Relief Continue S. Vict Troopers Repel Foe Near Quang Tri City SAIGON (AP) North Vietnamese troops and armored vehicles attacked South Vietnamese forces along the eastern Quang Tri front yesterday but were beaten back with heavy losses, the Saigon command reported. Spokesmen said the South Vietnamese killed 100 enemy troops with the help of artillery and tactical air strikes, and destroyed four tanks and captured one.

Government losses were put at five killed and 17 wounded. Thirty miles to the south, the enemy sent scores of heavy rocket and artillery rounds crashing into Hue and defense posts on its southern and western perimeter. However, the shellings were not followed up by any attempt to take the old imperial capital. Associated Press correspondent Hol-ger Jensen reported from the far north that paratroopers spearheading the five-day-old counteroffensive were in contact all day within three miles of the enemy-held Quang Tri, capital of the province of the same name. Along the lengthening western flank of the counteroffensive, 150 enemy soldiers were reported killed in several battles near the foothills three to five miles west of Highway 1.

Irvis said that during meetings Saturday with the rural Democratic bloc there had been "some change" in their position. They remained opposed to a $47 million program to aid county courts, Irvis said, but might be won over to child welfare and mental health programs. SHAPP LASHED OUT at House Republicans and upstate Democrats, calling their action "political as usual." "I'm heartsick," the governor said. "There are so many people out of work (Cont'd on Page 5, Column 1) favor of the Senate budget version, much like Gov.

Shapp's proposal. BUT WHEN members saw the bill going down to defeat despite their support, they deserted in droves, to tack another anti-spending vote onto their election-year records. Passage of the budget would require 102 votes. Upstate Democrats and all but four Republicans stood firm in their quest for budget reductions. The major objection to Shapp's proposal remains a $73 million program of state aid to local courts, child welfare programs, prison costs, mental health services and community colleges.

The governor's budget would send Hospital's Purpose Changing By HENRY W. PIERCE Pott Gnit4t Staff Wrllr ONE OF MY KIDS get hurt," complained Robert Kosko last week, "I'll have to take him all the way cut to Pleasant Hills instead of running him right over to Homestead Hospital the way I can now." Kosko, of 4816 Ball West Mifflin, is one of 170,000 people who will be affected by plans to merge Homestead and St. Joseph's Hospital to form a new health center whose main structure will be in the area of the Route 51 clover-leaf leading to Pleasant Hills. It is part of a growing trend toward hospital mergers which has citizens asking questions like this one posed by Mrs. Jesse Chapman, of 1308 Glenn Homestead: "What facilities would patients have for getting back and forth to the hospital? The hospital says we will get transportation, and that may be true, but how can we be sure of it? "I think the citizens have to be awfully watchful," Mrs.

Chapman continued, "to be sure that when a facility is taken out of the community, we won't have less services." BOARD CHAIRMEN of both hospitals sought to reassure residents. "It simply isn't true that we will be taking the hospital away from the area," responded Homestead's Victor Koerner. "One of the first points of agreement between St. Joseph's Hospital and Homestead Hospital was that the existing Homestead Hospital building would remain where it was and would be used to provide medical care for that community," he continued. "It won't be exactly the same kind of use in other words, major surgery will not be performed at Homestead Hospital.

That will be performed at the new structure, because it is very uneconomical to maintain two groups of professionals to serve acute illnesses." ABOUT 80 PER CENT of Homestead Hospital's patients visit the emergency room, but only six per cent of these actually need care for a major disorder, Koerner went on. "Most," he said, "come in for stomach aches, headaches, skinned knuckles and so on. We vill take care of these at Homestead Hospital to a greater extent than they are now being cared for." The other six per cent, he said, will be taken to the Pleasant Hills institution. "They will get more comprehensive care than they do now at Homestead," Koerner alleged, "because, having a broader population base, they will have a greater array cf specialties and sub-specialties and more 'round-the-clock attendance by physicians." St. Joseph's Dan Lackner said his institution will close its doors completely when the new facility opens in about five years.

Money from the sale of St. Joseph's will be put toward the $25 million needed for the new hospital, he declared. The Pleasant Hilli site was chosen, they said, because it's the population hub of an area bordered by the Monon-gahela River on the north and east, the county line on the south, and Brentwood, Baldwin and Bethel Park on the west. "As best we can calculate it, the proposed location wouldn't be more than a 15 minute drive from any area served by the hospital," declared Dennis Bul-lents Homestead's executive director. That would apply at times of normal traffic flow.

During rush hour the story might be different. ANOTHER PROPOSED MERGER ran into hard times last week when one of the key organizations pulled out.

bombing of North Vietnam, the pilot said. After landing at Saigon on a pretext of refueling, the pilot, Capt. Gene Vaughn, 53, 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 roled away and ordered the pasenger 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 pasengers 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 that the plane carried 136 passengers and 17 crewmen. SOUTH VIETNAMESE authorities cordoned off the plane shortly after the Incident and launched an investigation. Some passengers told crew members they believed they saw the man come aboard in Honolulu, the first stop on the flight that originates in San Francisco and also stops in Manila before turning around in Saigon. John Bradbury of Severna Park, one of the passengers who helped subdue the hijacker, said the first he knew something was wrong was when a stewardess' voice came over the intercom.

"She said something like 'to the party aboard who has certain wishes please be advised that we are doing everything possible to satisfy your wishes, but there may be a problem with "We were flying very low when we crossed the coast," Bradbury said, "and I thought, oh no, we're going to Hanoi (Cont'd on Page 5, Column 3) Intestinal Malady Hospitalizes HST KANSAS CITY (AP) Former President Harry S. Truman was admitted to Research Hospital in Kansas City yesterday with what his doctor described as a "lower gastrointestinal problem." Dr. Wallace H. Graham, personal physician to the 88-year-old former chief executive, described Truman's condition as "satisfactory." A hospital spokesman said routine examinations were planned, including X-ray studies of Truman's gastrointestinal tract. The spokesman, John Dreves, said Truman was in good spirits as he arrived at the hospital with his wife, Bess, from the Truman home in nearby Independence, Mo.

Dreves said Truman chatted with hospital employes as he was taken to his room in a wheelchair. Dr. Graham said the ailment was related to the intestinal problem which sent Truman to the same hospital for 12 days in early 1971.

FACED WITH a decision of disqualifying Fischer immediately or granting reprieve, Euwe chose the path he said would best protect the host organization.

At first it was believed that the two men found in the Cliftonville cricket grounds might have been killed in the shooting fray with British troops, who claimed to have scored two hits on the 14 snipers firing at them. The army said the attack was not considered a truce violation. A PROMINENT Protestant militant was kidnaped last night while on his way back to jail, where he is serving a life sentence for slaying a Roman Catholic barman in 1966.

Augustus Spence, 39, was a leader of the Protestants in the Shankill Road district of Belfast when he was sentenced to prison. He was granted a two-day parole over the weekend to attend his daughter's wedding and to visit his sick mother. Police said Spence was being driven back to the Crumlin Road jail by his brother-in-law when the car was halted by another with three armed gunmen in it. The brother-in-law, Martin Corry, was beaten up and Spence was bundled into the other car and driven off at high speed. Protestant militants, meanwhile, dug in behind steel barricades in Belfast in defiance of the British army.

The Protestant barricades, erected in anger at British failure to bring down similar barriers around Roman Catholic districts, were due to come down at (Cont'd on Page 4, Column 7) Match Postponed Until HARRISBURG (AP) Gov. Shapp has directed flood relief activities to continue and asked state employes to remain at their posti, even though the Legislature has left him without the money to pay for it. The House voted overwhelmingly late Saturday, the first day of the new fiscal year, to reject a $3.2 billion budget proposal rammed through the Senate earlier. A JOINT House-Senate conference committee, including three iawmakuis from each chamber, will have to work out a final budget. The 26 Senate Democrats passed their spending plan against solid Republican opposition, but the party's strength broke down in the House, where an upstate Democratic bloc refused to give way.

The Senate version failed in the House, 135-50. All checks from the state, including emergency assistance to flood victims, have been stopped. The state's vendors have been asked to continue supplying materials with the bill "to be honored later." "The main people who will be hurt the most are the elderly, the sick, the disabled and those who depend on the state to help them out," Shapp raid. Separate bills providing $150 million for flood relief remain in a Senate committee, where they will stay until the budget is passed, according to Shapp. House Majority Leader K.

Doctors said the little girl, found nude and wrapped in newspapers on a rest-room floor, died of pneumonia. Two employes of the W. T.

Juvenile officers and hospital employes had appealed to the girl's mother to come forward so the baby's medical history could be learned, but no one did.

To Spur Rainfall Naw York Times News Servlct WASHINGTON The United States has been secretly seeding clouds over North Vietnam, Laos and South Vietnam to increase and control the rainfall for military purposes. Government sources, both civilian and military, said during an extensive series of interviews that the Air Force cloud-seeding program has been aimed most recently at hindering movement of North Vietnamese troops and equipment and suppressing enemy antiaircraft missile fire. THE DISCLOSURE confirmed growing speculation in congressional and scientific circles about the use of weather modification in Southeast Asia. Despite years of experiments with rainmak-ing in the United States and elsewhere, scientists are not sure they understand its long-term effect on the ecology of a region. The weather manipulation in Indochina, which was first tried in South Vietnam in 1963, is the first confirmed use of meteorological warfare.

Although it is not prohibited by any international conventions on warfare, artificial rain-making has been strenuously opposed by some State Department officials. It could not be determined whether the operationes were being conducted in connection with the current North Vietnamese offensive or the renewed American bombing of the North.

Security authorities were unable to determine the motives for the slayings, but the Irish Republican Army has executed men from its ranks in the past for breaking its rules. TWO OF THE MEN, aged between 35 and 40, were found by children playing on a cricket ground near the site of a predawn attack on British troops. The IRA denied its men were involved in the attack and said it was the work of a small group of "vigilantes" outside IRA control. The third victim was a 25-year-old man whose body was tossed out of a speeding car in the Forth River Road area. He had been badly beaten and shot in the head and twice in the back.
