A passenger was killed and two others were wounded when the FBI thwarted the attempt to hijack the plane to Russia with $800,000 ransom. The first FBI agent gained entrance to the Pacific Southwest Airlines jetliner by posing as a pilot. He was followed aboard by a second agent who had been hiding beneath the plane parked at the edge of San Francisco Bay. A NUMBER of FBI agents surrounded the aircraft after it had sat on the ground for more than four hours while airline officials gathered the ransom, two parachutes and maps showing the route to Russia. Some of the agents had come ashore from a Coast Guard boat that had maneuvered to a landing place in the bay beneath the 737 jetliner and out of sight of the two hijackers.

The passenger was killed by shots fired by the hijackers, the FBI said. The gunmen also wounded two other passengers, including veteran movie and television actor Victor Sen Yung, 56, who plays a cook in the "Bonanza" television series.

Group cgates officially classified as uncommitted, however, have said they are leaning to McGovern. On behalf of the Democratic Party and its Credentials Committee, attorney Joseph A. Culitano said he would ask Chief Justice Warren F. Burger to summon the Supreme Court into session to I-W Si ii tutu Daley From UPI and AP WASHINGTON A divided federal appeals court Wednesday ordered the Democratic National 'Convention to give Sen. George S.

McGovern all 271 convention delegates from California. McGovern's camp claimed that was enough to assure him the nomination on the first ballot. The court also upheld the ouster of 59 uncommitted Illinois delegates led by Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley. The U.S.

Circuit Courf of Appeals said, in a 2-1 decision, that the Democratic Party's Credentials Committee acted unconstitutionally in taking 153 California delegates from McGovern. The committee had held that the California primary's winner-take-all rule was inconsistent with the party's reform procedures. The court ruled late Wednesday that its order would not take effect until 1 p.m. Detroit time Thursday, to permit time for the appeals. An appeal to the Supreme Court was expected to be filed Thursday morning.

But it was questionable whether the court could or would consider the case before the convention opens Monday. Also in doubt was whether the convention would abide by the appeals court decision without a bitter fUxir fight. McGovern picked up additional strength in the appeals court's unanimous decision refusing to overturn the Credential Committee's unseating of Daley's 59 Illinois delegates. The Daley supporters said they, too, would seek a reversal in the Supreme Court. McGOVERN'S TOP campaign aides, Frank Mankiew-icz and Gary Hart, said their delegate count including all of California's delegates gave McGovern 1,541 votes, more than the 1,509 needed.

The Associated Press delegate count places McGovern's strength at 1,436.65. Some dcl- Miaini Beach Council approves park as site for protesters In camp.

COPI Jet Stream Gets Blame for Chill I bought a butter curler in Hudson's french cooking department. I've hacked up two pounds of butter trying to figure out how to use the thing. The people at the store don't know either. Can you help? Mrs. J.O., Grosse Pointe Woods.

You're an expert after a phone call lesson from the Hudson buyer. Tool for folks who are bored with butter in squares, pats, sticks or lumps is made in Italy. Trick is to chill the curler along with the butter, draw circular blade with slight pressure the length of a stick of butter. To keep curls elegant, serve on ice. They melt fast into inelegant blobs.

has requested Price Commission authorization for price increases averaging $180 on its 1973 model vehicles. It may ask for additional boosts after July 31. The initial application, filed with the presidential panel, amounts an average of about five percent across the company's car and truck lines. Chrysler disclosed the application Wednesday. Roger J.

Helder, vice-president and controller, said additional upward adjustments are likely to be requested because of increases in labor and material costs which will occur before the 1973 models are introduced in late September. "The commission would not let us anticipate any economic cost increases that will become effective after July 31," Helder said. "In August, we are going to start getting some additional higher costs, and we will need relief." Helder said the company expects the commission to rule on its initial application late this month. CHRYSLER'S requested $180 boost in retail prices includes $70 to cover allowable cost increases through July. The $70 per car is over and above a 4.1 percent increase in costs which the Price Commission requires automobile manufacturers to absorb as an allowance for improved productivity.

"We were kind scared when we walked into this hotel.

Euwe said he felt the Soviet demand that Fischer be punished for showing up late for the match, originally scheduled to start Sunday, "might be settled later" at the FIDE congress later this year in Skopje, Yugoslavia. But Schmid said the Soviet demand that Fischer forfeit the first game and a crucial point in the battle for the world title was still not completely solved. Chess sources said Gudmujidur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic Chess Organization, was communicating with, the Soviet Chess Federation concerning the demand.
