The child was not harmed, Ash said, but was taken by ambulance to a Buffalo hospital for examination. Blood on the child's clothing, he said, was from a slight wound the man had sustained. Police identified the man as Charles Smith, 23, of Buffalo. The youngster was identified as Smith's daughter, 17 months old.

POLICE SAID Smith allegedly had stabbed the girl's mother and a man earlier today in Buffalo. The woman was reported "critical" and the man "fair" at Deaconess Hospital in Buffalo. Smith apparently slipped aboard the unoccupied jet about 5 a.m. and demanded the American Airlines provide a pilot for the craft, police said. "I want "a pilot," he shouted to police and FBI agents who surrounded the plane as it stood at a terminal gate.

A GROUP of FBI agents and police gathered near a ramp to the plane, using a baggage cart as a barricade. A man and woman took turns using a bullhorn to call up to Smith. The' woman, identified by an FBI agent as Smith's mother, walked part way up the ramp at one point, talked with Smith, then returned. Smith and his daughter were visible just inside the plane. Scores of airline passengers passed through the terminal as usual.

Many seemed unaware of what was happening at the American gate. From the upper level of the airport terminal, newsmen could see Smith holding the girl in his arms. At times they could be seen sitting in a front seat. Now and then he would carry the girl to the rear and then return to the front. Earlier, he had shouted he did not want to see newsmen, cameras or tape recorders.

ALL AVAILABLE policemen, FBI agents and Buffalo homicide detectives rushed to the airport and surrounded the plane at Gate Seven. Police said that after the alleged stabbing, Smith grabbed the girl and drove to the airport. There, they said, he created a commotion at the post office and threatened to harm the child. He then dragged the girl along as he climbed aboard the jet. Police said Smith left a note at his mother's home that read: 'I love you.

I love myself. I love everybody. I love God, but If I have to do away with myself, I will." A spokesman said the airline had not been told where the man wanted to go.

Funds produced via the tele-' thon would be used in this order: First to pay for the TV show (about $2 then to pay off the party's $9.3 million debt from the '68 presidential campaign.

It also claimed U. S.

bombing is not stopping rail ship- ments of supplies because rail lines are being repaired within hours after bombing attacks. "If the U.S. wanted to de- stroy railroads and stop rail operations," Radio Hanoi said in a broadcast monitored in Hong Kong, "U.S. planes 't On Page A-S V. S.

raids hit Hanoi "region. m. a would have to bombard more than 6,000 times a month, and even then Communist workers would be able to make enough repairs to keep supplies moving." THE BROADCAST, which admitted that Haiphong, North Vietnam's chief port, was effectively closed, did not name or locate any of the 12 coastal points. However, the coastline is studded with hundreds of small, rocky inlets and bays where cargo could be unloaded from river-type boats, small landing-craft and shallow-draft, Chinese-type junks. This is particularly true along the 150 miles of coastline from Haiphong harbor to the China border, an area where Chinese shipping sources in Hong Kong and Canton have speculated supplies are being landed.

Haiphong is the only North Vietnamese port known to be capable of handling oceangoing freighters. But since it was mined by U. S. planes there have been unconfirmed reports that hundreds of small crafts are landing supplies along the northern coast. American sources have generally denied the reports.

On the eve of the first national political convention, Beacon Journal politics writer Joe Rice talked with voters in the five-oounty Akron area about their views on candidates and Issues.

He was assisted in his interviewing by staff writer Steven Craig. This is the fourth of five reports. Busing is a red-hot issue in neighboring states such as Michigan, but it has yet to develop into one in Ohio. Only one in 50 of Greater Akron residents interviewed by the Beacon Journal listed busing as the issue that concerns them the most. This may be primarily because in most Ohio school systems, there is no busing to achieve racial balance in the schools.

When busing was mentioned to many people interviewed, they thought it referred to transporting rural children to school.
