Three black American hijackers were arrested today when their plane landed at Havana for the second time in a 30-hour, $10 million ransom drama that took the plane and 31 passengers and crew all over North America. During the hijack, one of the plane's pilots was shot and critically wounded, an elderly passenger had a heart attack and the hijackers threatened to crash the plane into a nuclear reactor in Tennessee. The ransom demand was the highest yet made. Although a ransom was paid, FBI agents refused to say how much money was handed over.

The hijackers were identified as Henry D. Jackson, 25, Lewis D. Moore, 27, and Melvin C. Cale, 21. Jackson and Moore, both from Detroit, are on bail on attempted rape charges.

Cale, from Oak Ridge, escaped from a Nashville, Tennessee, work-release programme -where he was serving five years for grand larceny. The hijacking was one of the longest on record. The drama began at 7.30 p.m. on Friday (11.30 a.m. Saturday Melbourne time) when the hijackers commandeered a Southern Airways DC-9.

Its players, Hsieh Min Nan and Lu Liang Huan, both came through with birdie 4s on the second last hole. Earlier, no one seemed to want to win as players dropped strokes in the gusty winds that reached 40 knots and on the slippery putting surfaces of Royal Melbourne. Hsieh made it a double for his country when he took individual honors with a four-over par total of 217 with rounds of 70, 69, 78. Taiwan's winning total of 238 was 12 over the card.

She had arrived in New Zealand last week after flying to Sydney on Qantas flight 736 from London via Bahrain. The woman was not identified, and it was not stated if she was related to any of the others in New Zealand either with cholera or under observation because of it.

In CANBERRA yesterday the Federal Health Depart' ment said that in addition to the 36 confirmed cases in Australia there was one other probable in Brisbane, The Minister for Health (Sir Kenneth Anderson) said investigations of the source of the Australian outbreak suggested it was caused by food taken on board the Qantas Jumbo flight at Bahrain. The same meal was served to economy class passengers on both the Qantas flight 736 to Australia and the 737 flight to London. Senator Anderson said all the confirmed cholera cases in Australia were among economy class passengers on the flight 736. Only economy class passengers received a smorgasbord meal on the aircraft after leaving Bahrain. No positive cultures had been obtained in tests from the crew of flight 736 or from the first-class passengers, he said.

Senator Anderson said that the same water supply was used for both economy and first class passengers. The aircraft had taken on 300 gallons of water at Bahrain and additional water at Singapore. Subsequent bacteriological tests of the water in Sydney had proved negative. Senator Anderson said that no cases from flights other than 736 and 737 passing through Bahrain had been discovered so far. The investigations are being carried out by Dr.

During the flight they threatened to crash the plane on to an atomic reactor complex at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, if the $10 million was not paid. "If the people here don't co-operate we'll make this look worse than Munich," one of the hijackers warned by radio.
