Members of the statewide Operating Engineers Local 428 have been awarded a 50 per cent wage fringe package increase, ranging from a low of an hour to a high of $3.39 an hour, depending on individual job classifications.

Wilson, who seeks to have an Arizona sweepstakes initiative placed on the November ballot, said yesterday he has practically no assets and has borrowed $100,000 for the lottery effort. Wilson, in a luncheon interview, said he now has 72,600 signatures on initiative petitions exactly enought to qualify for the ballot but will keep trying to collect 100,000 as a margin of safety. Wilson is running the effort in the name of Arizona Sweepstakes whose charter has been revoked by Arizona, and its parent National Sweepstakes whose charter was sus-pended by JJtah.

After with his lawyer in Salt Lake Cfay, he described the Utah action as a mistake and said he had wired the lawyer $500 to place the firm in good standing again.

And he said he has decided to pay the $109 necessary to reinstate Arizona Sweepstakes here, after talking with securities investigators of the Arizona Corporation Commission. The initiative, which would amend the state constitution and require another vote of the people to change anything, would give Arizona Sweepstakes an exclusive 10-year license to conduct a sweepstakes, patterned on the Irish Sweepstakes, at $3 per ticket.

Operating Engineers Local 423 had kept terras of their new contract a closely guarded secret since their ratification two weeks ago. Teamsters Local 83, a statewide union, includes members bound by separate contracts with the construction industry, called "outside" workers, and others, totaling about 1,000 "inside" truck drivers, employed in the sand and gravel and concrete mix plants.

In South Vietnam the enemy stepped up shcllings of allied installations. The U.S. Command reported 71 enemy shcllings in the 24-hour period ended at 8 a.m. yesterday nearly three times the recent average of 25 a day.

The bombardments killed three Americans and wounded 26. Government headquarters reported the shcllings killed 16 South Vietnamese and wounded 60. Ten dead and 40 wounded were military dependents at two camps in the central highlands. Although the attacks were the most since the night of May 8, when 76 were reported, U.S. officers said they felt the shcllings had not been timed necessarily to coincide with President Nixon's speech on Indochina Wednesday night.

Relatively light ground fighting was reported yesterday in Cambodia and South Vietnam. Two Americans were killed and two were injured when their light observation helicopters collided while dodging enemy ground fire 10 miles northwest of Plciku in the central highlands. pit of Trans World Airlines Flight 486 over Las Vegas, N.M., and demanded to go straight to Washington. The end came at Dulles International Airport, where authorities lured the hijacker to a second landing with bags full of phony money along the edge of the runway, and an FBI agent with gun drawn crawled into the cockpit and arrested Barkley. Capt.

Dale C. Hupe, the pilot of Flight 486, was shot in the stomach but was in satisfactory condition in a suburban Fairfax County, hospital. Barkley was "a little arrogant and defiant" even after his capture. "He is still resisting," said one official. He was taken off the plane by a horde of FBI agents.

His nose was bleeding and his hands were handcuffed behind his back. Barkley was shot in the thumb during the struggle in the cockpit, while the 51 other passengers crambled in fright out of emergency exits and onto the wings of the Boeing 727. "Man, it was a mess! Old ladies were crying, passengers were yelling and rolling on the ground," said an airport policeman. Barkley, whom a neighbor in Phoenix said was "crazy as a loon," told the six-member TWA crew that his constitutional rights had been violated and that he was demanding $100 million in small bills from the Supreme Court. Under Barkley's reported threat to blow up the plane, pilot Hupe skipped a scheduled St.

Louis stop on the Phenix-Washington flight and landed at Dulles at 12:40 p.m. While Flight 486 was taking on a full load of fuel, TWA sent aboard Capt. Billy Williams of New York, the same pilot qualified for international flights who ferried an AWOL Marine Lance Corporal from California to Rome last October in the longst hijacking on record. TWO also scraped up $100,750 in cash from two local banks and sent it aboard it landed. Airline officials said they the plane in a canvas sack the first time though that was the amount Barkley was demanding, but they were wrong.

Shortly before the plane roared off the runway, Barkley radioed this message for President Nixon and the State Department: don't know how to count money and you don't even know the rules of the law." For the next 2Vi hours, Barkley and his captives flew briefly south, then north as far as beyond Elmira, N.Y., then abruptly back toward Dulles. As the plane approached Dulles the Continued on Page 4 Todays prayer We pray, Lord, that in the presence of cruelty and wrong, our hearts remain steadfast and true.

Cambodia was based on the need to protect troops in Vietnam, inclusion of Byrd's language would have the effect of authorizing further such assaults after U.S.

troops are withdrawn later this month. This is what Church and Cooper are trying to prevent. While Cooper, Church and their strongest backers reject such language, administration forces hoe it will win over enough votes to carry the Byrd amendment. The vote, expected to be close, may come next week. The President is also expected to urge revision of another Cooper-Church provision to permit the United States to pay for Thai troops that might be sent to Cambodia to help beleaguered government forces there.

News of the President's new effort came after Democrats threatened to let Associated Press SAIGON Enemy troops overran Set Bo and then lost it to a Cambodian counterattack yesterday in a battle 10 miles southeast of Phnom Penh, field officers reported. It was the closest major fighting to the Cambodian capital. The North Vietnamese and Vietcong struck before dawn and captured the government military post, seizing all arms, ammunition and food. The enemy troops evidently were looking for fresh supplies since the massive allied offensive against their Cambodian sanctuaries to the east has disrupted their communications. Officers said the Cambodians had struck back with the support of fighter-bombers and the enemy troops retreated to the southwest.

The Cambodian high command said North Vietnamese and Vietcong forces had launched a major attack on Kom-pong Thorn and pushed part way into sued by Frank G. Benitcs, president of the Phoenix Building and Construction Trades Council, and James R. McDonald, coordinator of the management Construction Information Committee. How the package will be divided between wages and fringe benefits has not yet been decided, the spokesmen said. When their previous 5-year construction contracts expired Sunday, Teamsters' pay ranged from $3.93 to $4.95 an hour, depending on job classes; the Op-' crating Engineers, to an hour; and common laborers, $3.93 an hour.

Late telephone reports from Kompong Thorn said the fighting had died down to sporadic firing with enemy forces holding part of the city of 25,000. Unlike the arms-hunting expedition at Set Bo, the attack on Kompong Thorn appeared to be an attempt to score a propaganda victory and to try to confuse the Cambodian high command. A Cambodian spokesman reported that the enemy had been building up steadily for the attack on Kompong Thorn, shelling it several times recently, and that a sizable force of government regulars had been moved into the town.

The regulars relieved militia, who have buckled under pressure by seasoned North Vietnamese and Vietcong regulars tested in battles in South Vietnam.

Barkley Mrs.

Barkley Husband alone against world By HAROLD K. MILKS The nearly hysterical wife of a Phoe- nix man who committed history's most audacious aeial hijacking described him yesterday as "one little man, standing alone against the world." Arthur G. Barkley, 49, of 4145 N. Mitchell, was bitter and frustrated as the result of a long series of unsuccessful legal battles following dismissal from a baking company job here in 1963, according to his wife, Sue. Barkley yesterday seized a TWA jetliner flight 486 originating here for Washington then radioed back demands for $100 million ransom for the 51 passengers aboard.

The ransom sum was the same Barkley had asked in a lawsuit he carried all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court against the Internal Revenue Service. He lost in a ruling last March. Variously described by associates and neighbors here as a church-going family man, a cooperative and efficient naval reservist, and as a dangerously disturbed psychopath, Barkley's world apparently turned black when he was fired by the Continental Baking Co. here in 1963.

Since that tine his wife carried the main burden of supporting the family with a $75-a-week job, she said. Except for one brief employment, which he lost after being injured in an automobile accident, Barkley brooded and charted his Continued on Page 23 the government go broke if administration forces continue, to block a vote on the Cooper-Church amendment. Senate majority leader Mike Mansfield, told newsmen he has no intention of allowing an administration request for an Increase in the debt ceiling to reach the floor until there is a vote on the Cooper-Church proposal to bar spending for fighting in Cambodia. "If it interferes with time limits, too bad," Mansfield told newsmen. "I want to get on with the pending business." The administration has asked for an $18-billion increase in the current $337-billlon limit on the national debt and it needs the additional credit by July 1 to pay Its bills.

The house approved the increase 236 to 127 Wednesday. Antiwar congressmen argued that widening the Indochina conflict caused deficits.

Researchers responsible for testing the drug played down some reports that L-dopa is also a powerful aphrodisiac, or sex stimulant. The drug is expected to reach most retail outlets sometime tills fall. WASHINGTON The Food and Drug Administration released for public sale yesterday the first effective medication for Parkinson's disease, saying it "shows promise of being one of the major drug discoveries of recent years." The new drug, L-dopa, should provide partial to total relief for two of every three persons suffering the arm or leg tremors or rigidity fthe disease, the FDA said.

But Dr. Charles C. Edwards, the FDA commissioner, warned that a majority of persons tested with the drug suffered "quite unpleasant and even dangerous" side effects.
