Section 1 -lfcL Chicago Tribune, Saturday, July 8, 1972 All the Money Recovered Hijacker, AWOL GI, Gives Self Up to Hostage YViill Leonard I I WELL, IT happened one more Fourth of July in Highland Park. Bob Vetter, of Vine Avenue, flew his big American flag and nobody noticed a thing. Of course, Bob himself didn't notice for the first five or six years he owned it and flew it on the appropriate days. It only a couple of Julys ago that he chanced to note that personal Old Glory possesses eight rows of stars, each containing seven stars. Eight times seven equals 56 and 'there won't be that many states in the Union for many years, 'population explosion or no population explosion! i-1 Bob can't explain it.

It's a store-bought flag, not one made by an amateur. But, when the time finally comes that Ithere are 56 states in the Union, he'll be ready for it. bight There, on Paper! WE READ in the paper that Bobby Fischer claimed he was too indisposed to start his chess match with Boris Spassky, and the chess officials opined that he'd better bring 1 along a statement to that effect from his doctor. memory came back of the time Slim Gafflard, the ijaizman, showed up a couple of days late for an engagement SSKthe- old Blue Note, claiming he had been ill. It was the igJIfcd or fourth time he had done this to Frank Holzfeind, yiwjjer of the place, who loved him and usually forgave him.

jKils time, Frank was annoyed, and he told Slim: "You bring note from your doctor, or I'll take you up in front of union." TNptbing easier. Slim sailed in the following night with the For Him, Hijack Is a Daily Byword SACRAMENTO, July 7 TAPl-Franz Lingnau says he was still feeling a little shaky over being involved in Wednesday's hijacking as he boarded a jetliner yesterday at Burbank for the flight back to; Sacramento. As the Pacific Southwest Airlines Boeing 727 madej its approach to the Sacramento airport, "my heart sank," Lingnau said today. That, plane too was taken over by a skyjacker and he became a hostage for the second time in two days "I don't believe it's possible it could have happened. on both of them," Lingnau said.

"When I realized UV. was happening again, I was angry. The odds are far out, it shouldn't have happened for another 20 years." The 44-year-old resident of El Dorado Hills, 30 miles east of Sacramento, is an estimator for a construction, company. He was en route to Burbank Wednesday' when his P. S.

officials quoted Goodell as saying. The plane circled San Diego's Lindberg Field for about an hour, then landed. In return for the ransom, Goodell agreed to release all the passengers and crew members except three Turner, who volunteered to, stay aboard; the pilot, Jerry Blakely of San Diego, and the copilot. After several hours on the ground, the plane took off again for Oakland and the airport while Goodell ordered, a helicopter. For two hours after the plane landed, Turner, tried to convince Goodell he should give up.

Goodell had sent authorities a message saying he wanted the money for "two organizations involved in the Middle East crisis." Later he said he wanted it for an Algerian group, and finally be said he only wanted part of it to turn over to a child care center. "I talked to him about family and said it was going to hurt his mother and it 'would not be over today or tomorrow but would be a long term thing," Turner said. Goodell finally turned over his own gun and another he had taken from Turner. He walked off the plane with his arms held high and FBI agents took him into custody. The hijacker's father, Frank Goodell, chief training officer for the National Park Service, said in a telephone interview that his son had given no indication that he would or could take such an action.

The hijacking was P. S. fourth this year. (Picture on pane 1) From Tilbunl Wlra Semites! OAKLAND, July 7 A 21-year-old AWOL soldier, who hijacked a Pacific Southwest Airlines jet with 57 persons aboard and collected $455,000 ransom, gave himself up today to a law officer he had held hostage. The hijacking was the second for the airline in as many days.

Francis Goodell of Manassas, reported absent from Fort Riley, a week ago, surrendered two pistols to gtate Highway Patrol Capt. Lloyd Turner after a nine-hour drama up and down much of the length of California. "I told him that as soon as he stepped down the ramp an FBI agent Is going to squeeze one dff and your head will disintegrate," said Turner, a passenger on the flight who spent two tense hours at Oakland Airport trying to persuade Goodell to give up. Turner said Goodell told him he was "sick," and he interpreted that to mean that Goodell, a Viet Nam veteran, thought he was mentally ill. Goodell was charged with air piracy and was being held in San Francisco on $100,000 bond.

The United States attorney's office said all the money was recovered; The hijacking began at 5:20 p. m. yesterday during a flight from Oakland to Sacramento, just one day after two Bulgarian refugees, and a passenger were killed during a shooting which ended another hijacking at San Francisco International Airport. Turner, 42, of Sacramento, said he first knew of the hijacking when he saw Goodell standing with an automatic pistol pointed at a stewardess. The plane was ordered to San Diego.

W. Poston, commissioner of the department, said yesterday. "In a year's time we have received 2,609 complaints, compared with only 130 noise complaints in the year prior to the enactment of the ordinance," Poston said. The main sources of complaintsabout one-third are trucks, cars, and motorcycles.

The largest fine assessed for noise violations since the ordinance took effect was against the Grand Trunk and Western Railroad, $5,950 for 40 noise violations, the commissioner said. Even lower noise levels prescribed by the ordinance go into effect next Jan. 1. At that time, manufacturers of potentially noisy devices will have to begin certifying that their products meet the city's noise ordinance, Poston said. Certification will be sought especially from the manufacturers of motorcycles, cars, trucks, construction and industrial equipment, heavy duty power tools, and recreational vehicles.
