Boeing 707, owned by Lebanon, was hijacked over Cyprus on a flight from Libya to Lebanon. A flight of Israeli F-4 Phantom jets escorted the plane to the airport.

A SENIOR Israeli officer described as nonsense reports from Beirut that four leaders of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine were aboard. He said the reports appeared to be an attempt to make it appear Israel had diverted another Arab plane to Israel as it did last Friday. "If thera are terrorists aboard the plane, they've succeeded in camouflaging themselves so well that we don't suspect them," said Maj.

Gen. Rehavam Zeevi, the army commander whose region includes Lod. "This is apparently an attempt to incriminate us and put us under suspicion as the ones who initiated the hijacking." Lebanese sources in New York said it was another Israeli attempt to capture Palestinian guerrillas. They said there were two hijackers who were Israeli secret agents. Last Friday, 'the Israelis diverted another lebanese airliner to Israel but no guerrillas were found aboard.

Either we, your elected representatives here in Washington, ought to get on with the jobs that need to be done for you or every one of you ought to Turn to Page A-9, Col. 1 By R.W. Apple Jr. (C) Tifnes Service WASHINGTON President Nixon said last night that "the time has come to turn Watergate over to the courts" and "for the rest of us to get on with the urgent business of our nation." In his long-awaited address to the nation on the scandal that has bedeviled his administration, the President asserted that confidence in the American economy, currency and foreign policy is "being sapped by He said that "we cannot let an obsession with the past destroy" the future.

Nixon once again asserted that he had had no prior knowledge of the Watergate burglary and that he was unaware of subsequent efforts to cover it up until last March 21. And he traced the origins of what critics have called "the Watergate mentality" in the White House to violence and acts of civil disobedience in the 1960s that led "a few overzealous persons" to resort to similar extremism in 1972. "BOTH ARE WRONG," the President declared. "Both should be condemned. No individual, no group and no political party has a corner on the market on morality in America." But Nixon provided, in the televised speech and in an accompanying statement, almost no additional information on the dozens of questions raised by testimony before the Senate Watergate committee.

Instead, he traversed familiar ground and defended at length his refusal to release tape recordings of his meetings and telephone conversions. The President, who recently recovered from a siege of viral pnaumonia, appeared to have lost weight. He seemed earnest and somber as he made his way through his 28-minute address, but betrayed no signs of tension. "I recognize that this statement does not answer many of the questions and contentions raised during the Watergate hearings," Nixon said. "It has not been my intention to attempt any such comprehensive and detailed response.

"Neither do I believe I could enter upon an endless course of explaining and rebutting a complex of point-by-point claims and charges and still be able to carry out my duties." A FAR MORE DETAILED rejoinder had been antici pated in view of Nixon's long silence he last issued a Watergate statement on May 22 and the repeated promises by his spokesmen, that the President would speak out in full. The tone of his remarks and his written statement last night was similar to that of his May 22 statement. He took a hard line on the tapes and toward the Senate committee, but he admitted error on the part of some of his aides; he explained, he drew morals, he warned of the dangers ahead. In sum, Nixon seemed to have sided with those of his aides who urged conciliation, but to have taken a thought or two from the hardliners. The political strategy underlying the speech was implicit in Nixon's closing appeal.

The White House believes, along with some other observers, that the country is tiring of the scandal and is therefore ripe for the argument that its own self-interest lies in putting Watergate out of mind. "LEGISLATION VITAL to your health and well-being sits unattended on the congressional calendar," Nixon told the nation. "Confidence at home and abroad in our economy, our currency and our foreign policy is being sapped by uncertainty. Grim Story to Be Concluded? i 7 o. "I JL DD D3 WO (SO (OJ JNL LTU i i (Last of a Series) (C) 1973: the Honolulu Star-Bulletin ALFONSO "CHICO" MOLCILO, confessed killer, rapist, brutal underworld strongarm man and police "stool pigeon," is today a relatively free man.

Molcilo, 38, gained his freedom by turning State's evidence against the James K. Pokini "Murder for Hire" gang, which has been connected to at least seven slayings and numerous robberies including the Ala Moana jewelry theft of May 3, 1972. Just how "free" Molcilo is nobody can be sure least of all Molcilo. He was given 10 years' probation, a plane ticket to the Mainland and a chance to start anew in exchange for putting the Pokini brotherhood behind bars. BUT, MOLCILO SAID during a series of interviews at the police cellblock where he spent the past year in protective custody, he will always be looking over his shoulders.

The local organized crime syndicate the "Family" for which the Pokini gang and some of Pokini's friends did jobs, have placed a $45,000 contract on Molcilo's head. Molcilo said there was one attempt at killing him and Robert G. "Bobby" Lowe, another Pokini gang member who turned State's evidence. Molcilo told of this attempt, his hopes for the future, and the possibility that circumstances could force him back into a life of crime, during the interviews: INTERVIEWER Chico; first could we talk about the alleged, or the reported, attempt by the underworld to get at you since you've been under protective custody? Is it true that they tried to kill you? MOLCILO: They wanted Bobby Lowe and myself; so they approached the trustees (in the cellblock). They promised them $80,000 to put poison in our chow.

This kid who worked in here (a trustee) got to me and I got Bobby Lowe's attention. Barry Chung (the City-County prosecutor) took care of that (had the trustees involved transferred). Prior to that, I had some crank calls. They said they were going to roll some bombs down here (into the' cellblock). This was about June 10th of last year.

They said they were going to roll grenades down and shoot their way in. They may not all have been crank calls. I wouldn't sell this group short, you know what I mean! A lot of these up-and-coming guys, they just want to make a reputation. I wasn't in here a month when guys were going around town saying they had bought the contract on me. They didn't know where I was but they were saying, "The police let him out and we chased him Turn to A-6, Col.

This story is true; the names and people are real, this is the way I lived until I found myself with no sense of values, wanting too much too soon.
