were the other two. Seamens said GE and North American Rockwell were chosen "after extensive evaluation of the proposals by the Air Force." North American will design and fabricate five flight-test aircraft to start, he said. Representatives Donald D. Clancy and Robert Taft Jr. of Cincinnati cheered the award to GE.

"I am elated," Clancy said. "GE's performance has been excellent." Taft said the award "obviously is of major importance to the economy of Ohio, and promises to strengthen our job picture." Seamens said the B-l is "primarily designed for low altitude penetration and will be specifically designed to penetrate a sophisticated hostile environment, and be capable of carrying a variety of conventional and nuclear weapons." i hi llllilK; Sank U.

She started this trip home Friday. BY ROBERT WEBB Enquirer Bureau Chief WASHINGTON General Elec-tric's Evendale plant was picked to build the supersonic B-l bomber engines under an Air Force award of more than $406 million Friday. The award for 40 preliminary flight-rated test engines was announced by Air Force Secretary Robert C. Seamens Jr. Seamens said North American Rockwell of El Segundo, was picked as the airframe contractor under an award of $1.35 billion, including a target profit of $115 million.

Edward Woll, vice president and general manager of GE's military engine division, commenting on the effects on employment, said: "I must emphasize that this award is for only the development and qualification of the F-101 augmented turbofan, and support of the flight test program. Until such time as a production program is approved by the U. S. Air Force and Department of Defense, no determination of a long-range impact on employment is possible. "We expect that if a production go-ahead is given for the B-l program; F-101 engine work will phase in as the J-79 and TF-39 engine production programs phase out, thus stabilizing employment, particularly at our Evendale plant.

Since our engineering team is still in place for the development phase of the F-101 program, impact on employment at all aircraft engine group plants will be minimal," Woll concluded. Seamens emphasized the contracts do not mean the authorization of B-l production. "Future funds (for the B-l) will be subject to annual review," he said, noting that Congress had approved funds for the test phase only. GE won over its only other competitor, Pratt Whitney, of East Hartford, Conn. North Ameri Nixon Hails Pilot, Shot In Hijack, As 'A Hero' Capt.

Billy Williams, the senior international pilot for TWA, told newsmen that he approved the FBI's decision to rush Barkley on the ground because "the hijacker convinced all of us that he was going to get rid of us whether he got the money or whether he didn't." The crew, Williams said, had concluded that "we had to get the hijacker to save our lives." TOKYO UP) North Korea claimed it sank a "heavily armed" U. S. spy ship in the Yellow Sea Friday. The U. S.

Navy in Washington declared, quoting Pacific Fleet headquarters: "The U. S. Navy had no ships of any kind operating in that area." This made it appear that the North Koreans could be talking about the seizure of a South Korean navy vessel by North Korean gunboats in the Yellow Sea, announced earlier by the South Koreans, who said their vessel was fired upon. The official Korean Central News Agency in North Korea said the spy ship "intruded deep into the coastal waters" about 11:30 p.m. Friday to conduct reconnaissance." The KCNA dispatch said: "Officers and men of the navy of the Korean People's army instantly sent to the bottom of the sea the enemy's armed spy ship which intruded deep into the a al waters." IT SAID THE SHIP was sunk off cation.

The money already is included in the two-year state budget, most of it appropriated for the Department of Education, but Supt. of Public Instruction Martin Essex told the lawmakers his department would not spend its total appropriations. Acting over the objections of State Finance Director Howard Collier, the legislators reallocated the funds expected to lapse on July 1, 1971. The bill includes a $1.8 million windfall for Hamilton County school to be paid in a lump sum this September. Agreement was reached in the waning hours of tne session on measures dealing with obscenity, drugs, garnishment and housing.

U. S. Magistrate Stanley King, who arraigned Barkley in a heated confrontation Thursday night, scheduled a preliminary hearing in the case June 10.

Earlier, the South Korean Defense Ministry reported one of its navy craft with 20 crewmen was seized by two Communist patrol boats and taken to the North. KCNA said the U. S.

ship crossed into North Korean-claimed waters as "the U. S. imperialist aggressor army is markedly intensifying grave armed provocations" against North Korea along the demilitarized zone. The DMZ, established by the armistice of 1953, separates North and South Korea. The Communist news agency also said the sinking of the "spy ship" came after the U.S.

Army "fired tens of thousands of shells and bullets" at North Korean posts in the western and central DMZ sectors last Wednesday. IN SEOUL, Brig. Gen. Roh Young-suh spokesman for the South Korean Defense Ministry, said the North Koreans fired on the South Korean vessel in what he termed a "premeditated attack." He did not say whether the fire was returned or if there were casualties. There was no word on the condition of the crew.

Defense Minister Chung Nae-hyuk called an emergency meeting of his aides. To Vatican Post Cookies I mm) WASHINGTON (UPI) President Nixon personally telephoned Friday to tell the wounded pilot of a commandeered TWA jet that "he is a national hero." The President did not get to speak with Capt. David C. Hupe, 50, who underwent three hours of abdominal surgery to repair internal damage from a gunshot wound he suffered in the capture of the hijacker at Dulles Airport Thursday night. But Linda Jensen, a spokesman for Fairfax Hospital, said Mr.

Nixon told Mary Jane Mastorovich, a nurse in the intensive care unit where Hupe is recovering: "This is President Nixon I served with Captain Hupe on Guadalcanal during World War II and I would like for you to express my personal best wishes to him and that I wish him a speedy recovery. "He went through the entire war without a scratch and it's too bad he had to be injured now in this way," she quoted Mr. Nixon. "Tell him for me that he is a national hero." Shortly before the President's call to the hospital in suburban Virginia, authoritative sources said the idea of Mr. Nixon's appointing an antihijacking commission of high Federal officials, airline executives and pilots "is under active consideration." Hupe, a veteran of 23 years with TWA and a Marine pilot during World War II (Mr.

Nixon was in the Navy), was visited earlier by his wife Doris, and 19-year-old son, Dennis, who came here from their home in Perry, Kans. Auther G. Barkley, 49, Phoenix, was arrested on Federal charges of pirating the TWA jetliner over New Mexico. There were 58 persons aboard at the time, and he kept control of the big jet for nearly eight hours. Barkley, who demanded a $100 million ransom from the Supreme Court and actually was given at one point by TWA officials, was seized by FBI agents on the plane at Dulles International Airport outside Washington and was jailed without bond in Alexandria, Virginia.

160,000 More Now Jobless Both the House and the Senate had adopted adjournment resolutions before starting to act on these measures which had kept conference committees deadlocked for most of the day Friday. The major point of contention was the bill clamping down on campus agitators. The House-passed bill called for immediate suspension of students participating in campus uprisings, with hearings to follow. The Senate wanted a hearing before suspension. In the end, the Senate won its point.

The bill, as passed by both houses, mandates automatic dismissal of students and faculty members convicted of a new crime, "disurb-ance," or violating specific state laws. Prospects remained for a special session of the legislature at the call of the governor sometime in September if requested by a special blue-ribbon committee created to study campus disorders.

"These are the experienced workers, the breadwinners of the United States," said Sen.

Employment, which usually rises in May, fell instead to a total of 85.3 million.

The Labor Department's report also said average wages for about 45 million workers rose two cents an hour to $3.20 and $1.03 per week to $118.72, but that the sharpest rise in living costs in 20; years had more than wiped out wage gains the last year.

No one was injured. Neither the reason for the landing nor the name of the pilot was learned immediately. The landing preceded a thunderstorm, police said. Corinth is about 60 miles south of Cincinnati.

College, Law Officers Bow To Student Mob WASHINGTON (AP) The nation's economic pinch forced 160,000 more workers out of jobs in May, boosting the total unemployed to 4.1 million in the sharpest continuing jobless climb in a dozen years. The rise pushed the jobless rate from 4.8 to 5 of the work force. "That's a fairly rapid increase in unemployment," said Assistant Commissioner Harold Goldstein of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. He referred to this year's rise of 1.3 million Jobless in five months. All of the unemployment increase in May was among workers who lost County and City of Geneva police force had entered Rees Hall at about 1 a.

m. with search warrants and an arrest warrant for possession of drugs in the dormitory. The officers completed their search with the help of an informer. Two of the students were taken into custody and were taken to Geneva police headquarters to be charged with harassment of the search party. Morrow said when he returned to the campus about 500 students had surrounded the three remaining police cruisers where three officers were holding a third student who was taken into custody on the drug warrant.

Morrow said, "Five or six activist leaders participated in some of the conferences and when, in conjunction with college officials, we finally reached a decision that the charges which might be filed against those taken into custody were not important enough to warrant injury to anyone, the leaders talked to the crowd and the students dispersed." GIs Fear Berkeley GENEVA, N. Y. UP) Three students who were taken into custody In a drug search at a Hobart College dormitory, were released and granted amnesty Friday after 500 students surrounded arresting officers and damaged their three cruisers. Ontario County Sheriff Ray O. Morrow said, "It was a very explosive situation it was critical.

There is no question at all somebody was going to be hurt." Ontario County District Attorney William Best said a conference was held by police officials, college President Veverly D. Causey Jr. and Dean O. McKean. "As a result it was decided that the best alternative to follow was to release the three students then in custody so that the officers could get out of there," Best said.

"They had been physically blocked for three or four hours in their cars, which were smashed," he said. MORROW SAID a combined force ol 10 officers from the Ontario had misgivings about a gift from Berkeley, even chocolate chip cookies. "If these cookies are drugged, one of us or all 10 men in the squad might do something foolish and get himself or all of us killed," said a "Pfc. Shamrock," who wrote back to Ricki. "That's what we think your leaders want, those leaders of the peace movement who are working hand in glove with Hanoi while we are fighting out here," Shamrock wrote.

The cookies were left on the trail for the enemy to find. Miss Pollycove is the daughter of Dr. Myron Pollycove. She describes herself as a "political sleeper" and did not participate in any peace activities until the Cambodian invasion. She decided then to send the cookies as a means of persuading the troops "they had a friend in this weird city." After getting the letter back, Ricki said: "We have to work harder than we throught to promote good will." BERKELEY, Calif.

(UPI) Somebody should tell U. S. soldiers in Cambodia that Berkeley is part of Mrs. Rosalyn Pollycove said Friday. She had in mind specifically some troops of the 101st Airborne Division who rejected a box of homemade chocolate chip cookies baked by Mrs.

Pollycove's daughter for fear they might be laced with LSD. The cookies were baked, packed and sent to the GIs by 18-year-old Ricki Pollycove, a pretty brunette sopohomore at the University of California. Ricki says she only wanted to create good will. An Army man had praised her when she asked for the address of a combat unit. She had carefully packed the cookies and enclosed a letter saying she hoped the boys would be home soon.

But when the package was opened out in the Jungles of Cambodia, the paratroopers apparently.
