"Someone came to me and said there was talk of moving the Cincinnati franchise to San Diego," Marsh asserted. "And that would be interesting." San Diego's NBA franchise was he said.

He also said there were no plans to move the franchise to San Diego or anywhere else. Other West Coast sources said they had overheard a luncheon conversation between Davis associates and two lawyers for the Royals discussing plans for the purchase and il movement of the club to San Diego in time for the 1972-73 season. Ambrose Lindhorst, the Royals legal counsel, could not be reached for comment. However, speaking on behalf of Lindhorst, general manager Joe Axelson said both just returned from NBA meetings in Chicago and that neither had any contact with Davis' people. "We've said it before and we'll say it again.

Max Jacobs (chairman of the board) has no intention to move the best tenant he has out of his own building." The Royals have been in Cincinnati since 1957, when they were moved from Rochester by businessmen Jack and Les Harrison. The next year, a group headed by Thomas E. Wood, a Cincinnati sportsman and financier, purchased the team from the Harrisons. Wood also owned the Cincinnati Gardens. On March 29, 1963, Louis M.

Roughly 44 of the Royals stock remained in the hands of Cincinnatians. After Jacobs died in 1968, his son Jeremy took over control of the Royals. Dagens Nyheter, in a team-written story, said arrangements for the flight were made by the U. S. Command in Saigon and the plane would take the prisoners to New York via Bangkok and Rome.

In Saigon, the U. S. Command denied knowledge of any charter arrangement. SAS said later the request for a plane had come from the U. S.

military in West Germany, not Saigon. House OKs Draft Bill WASHINGTON (UPI) The House approved the long-stalled Selective Service bill Wednesday but Senate war opponents and a congressional vacation seemed likely to keep the draft on ice until at least October. On a 297-108 roll call vote, the House approved a compromise version of House and Senate measures to extend until June 30, 1973 the government's authority to draft men for the armed forces. Also included in the legislation, and the source of its problems, was Quick draft lottery on tap, please see page 12. a revised version of the antiwar amendment sponsored by Democratic leader Mike Mansfield.

Posing a more formidable obstacle at the moment is a congressional summer vacation, scheduled to begin Friday. Senate leaders decided Wednesday that it would be fruitless to try to prevent a filibuster and pass the measure before then and decided not to bring up the bill until Congress returns September 8. House Votes $1 Billion To Create Jobs WASHINGTON (AP) The House voted $1 billion Wednesday to put an estimated 150,000 persons to work in public service. It sent to the Senate an emergency bill to give all the states a share of the money for quick job placement during the year ending next June 30. The vote was 321 to 76.

The jobs would be in such areas as police, fire and sanitation services, and health programs. They are intended to help jobless persons until they obtain permanent work. Most of the jobs would pay $5000 to $6000 a year, with a limited number of $12,000 posts for professional workers. While some of the bill's supporters emphasized the two-year program should not be considered a step toward a permanent one, some predicted it would become just that. Chairman George H.

Mahon (D-Tex.) of the Appropriations Committee, who supported the bill, called it "pure and unadulterated revenue sharing" with the states and local governments. The Labor Department already has announced a formula for distribution of the money, which will pay up to 90 of the wages for jobs to be filled. The Senate is expected to send the bill to the White House before starting a month-long recess Friday. Burglary Chase STOCKHOLM (Thursday) (AP) A Scandinavian Airlines System spokesman said today that U.S. military authorities had asked for a charter plane to fly 187 prisoners of war from Vientiane, Laos, to Rome.

SAS said no contract had been written, but it could be concluded "today, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow" if arrangements for the airlift could be arranged between the United States and North Vietnam. Dagens Nyheter, Sweden's largest-circulation and most reliable newspaper, said in its edition today that prisoners were Americans held by North Vietnam and would be flown out of Vientiane on August 12 en route to New York. In Washington, the White House disavowed knowledge of the paper's story. An SAS spokesman said the U.S. authorities had asked for a DC8 capable of carrying 187 persons and did not request a medical aircraft, "it is not possible to carry so many persons in one DC8 if they are sick or wounded," he added.

"They must be in relatively good physical condition for such a trip," he said. "BEFORE THE U. S. military authorities in West Germany asked for a plane, there had been some discussions on an unofficial level," the spokesman said, but could not say exactly when the first contacts were established. After arrival in Rome, the spokesman said, he believed "the prisoners could be brought home without further arrangements." Slain by their apartment at 4890 Winton about 1:20 p.

According to Jackson's account, the woman was at the top of the hill, waiting for the man, who was about halfway up it, when Fogus shouted: "I'm -a Cincinnati police officer. Stop or I'll shoot." JACKSON SAID Fogus fired two shots when the man did not stop. As the man was falling, Jackson said, called something to the woman, and she turned and ran. Police found nearby an automobile which they believe the man and woman were using.
