R--Iowa City Press-Citizen--Wednesday, October It, 19U Sojutions Being Sought To End Airplane By LAWRENCE MALKIN LONDON (AP) "What we are afraid of," said an airline official in London, "is that some day some silly so-and-so will poke a gun Into the back of the neck of a pilot and order him into an airport that he doesn't know, or that isn't equipped to handle his plane. He'll be forced to risk a landing, plunk down his plane and crash." He was talking about the score of hijackings or attempted hijackings that have taken place this year. So far there have been no proven fatalities on Western commercial airlines as a result of hijackings. All planes seized on scheduled flights have been returned. But pilots, airline officials, lawyers, insurance specialists, governments and others concerned with civil aviation are searching for a solution to the growing problem.

The consensus among them is that the only defense devised so far is a piece of paper--an international convention pledging na- 1,900 FLASHBULBS IN "BIG SHOT" OF OLYMPIC CEREMONY--A night photograph of the Pyramid of the Moon, scene of cere- monies marking the arrival of the Olympic torch in Mexico, has been made by using 1,900 flashbulbs for illumination. The photograph was made at a rehearsal of the Olympic ceremonies. It captured danc- ers performing at the base of the pyramid and the traditional runner carrying the flaming torch from Mount Olympus. The photographer was M. Woodbridge Williams, chief photographer of the U.S.

National Park Service. He took the photograph using an 8 10 Deardorff camera with a 10- inch lens. Setting for the photograph was using daylight color film. inger Wants To Taste of Masses By ROGER DOUGHTY NEW YORK (NBA) "There are still people in this rock entrepreneur 31 Graham says sadly, "who know the difference between a B-52 and the Jefferson They have to be edu- Scated."

Again he made it Graham's two who had the misfortune to be running the country when the only rocks were stones and the only Jefferson even mentioned had nothing to do with an airplane. Personally, Graham likes to think of himself as an educator. "I want to change the musical taste of the masses," he says. "America is in the grasp of AM radio TV.

They dole out the kind of sterile sounds they want the people to hear. I don't. I give' the-public what I think want .0 hear." A typical bill at the Fillmore might offer Big Brother and the Holding Company or the Jefferson Airplane as the name attraction, with, people like Albert King or B. B. King or Tim Buckley or Buddy working the warm-up acts.

"By now," says a a "people want to hear the Airplane and Big Brother, but it wasn't always that way. We had to force-feed them to the public just a few years ago. The fact that they're now a proves that our philosophy is right" Graham's philosophy is, "If you want the dessert, 'you have to eat the If you want to hear the Hold-. ing Company, you have to hear Albert King and Tim Buckley first. "People like that are good for the public," says Graham, "but you have to put them on with something that fills house.

Agnew says he has a net worth of $111,084. Agnew said his total assets are $100,834 and his liabilities $49,750.

Progress is slow. The convention was drafted five years ago at an international meeting in Tokyo. Prompted by this summer's hijacking of an Israeli plane, the September meeting of the International Civil Aviation Organization urged its member nations to ratify the convention and bring it into force.

The United States promised to do so by the end of the year. Cuba, the frequent destination of hijackers, supported the plan. The International Federation of Airline Pilots Associations, based in London, wants aft even stronger agreement permit prosecution under something like the maritime piracy laws. This seems unlikely and might not do much good. The U.S.

Congress applied the piracy laws to aircraft hijacks in 1961, but aerial pirates usually flee to politically friendly states and Although hijacking has overtones of piracy, tt is aooMthing new. The crime Itself has no precise international definition. It usually lacks the element of outright robbery that characterized pirates seeking plunder. Most hijackers simply want. 1 to get from one point to another.

They cannot Mil a stolen commercial airliner. This point was brought home to the Arabs who hijacked the Israeli plane in July and ordered the crew to fly it to Al- Underwriters at Lloyds, where much of the world's airline insurance is written, passed the word to Algeria that the Israelis would get a new plane for their insurance money anyway. If anyone had tried to use the 707 internationally it might have been seized by court order at its first port of call. Eventually the Israelis got it back. The problems of punishing jackers are clouded by the legal concept of territoriality--wWch means that states punish crimes taking place on their own territory.

Hijacking often takes place over international waters. The hijacker soon leaves flying piece of territory on which he commits his crime. Under extradition laws, Ms crime--often defined as endangering the safety of a flight- or only a simple be regarded as serious enough to warrant his return home officials have refused tqdis- cuss what happened to the hijackers who flew there, Hebl Is Honored at Birthday Dinner COSGROVE Mrs. 1 Hebl was surprised with a din-1 ner by her children at Lassies Red Barn in honor guests were 'present' ing the dinner, euchre played.
