4' 'iv Federal Officials Baffled By Continued Hijackings Two Face Air Piracy Charges HOUSTON, Tex. (Reuter)' Two iV 1 if 1 7 WASHINGTON (A Finding a way to halt airline hijackings has baffled officials of the nation's airlines and the Federal Aviation Administration. Airport security has tightened noticeably since the beginning of the year. Carry-on luggage frequently has been searched. Passengers have aeen screened for weapons by electronic metal detectors.

Ticket agents have kept an eye peeled for suspicious persons who fit a secret hijacker profile. BUT THE hijackings continue. Six jetliners have been hijacked in the past six weeks alone, including two that were commandeered by gun-toting sky pirates Wednesday night. "We don't know what the holes in our security are," said FAA spokesman Dennis Feldman. "We have to take each instance on it to board an airliner with a weapon or for making hijack or sabotage threats while boarding a plane.

During the same period, according to government figures, mora than 1,100 guns, knives and other weapons have been seized. Last week the White House, concerned by lax security on the easy-boarding shuttle flights, ordered airlines with such flights to begin checking all carry-on luggage and require all passengers to show; two forms of identification. THE ORDER came after two Pacific Southwest shuttle flights in California were hijacked on sue cessive days. The FAA also has proposed a regulation that would require the modification of jet airliners with rear exits so that the exits could not be opened during flight to permit hijackers to escape by parachute. An FAA spokesman said no new security regulations are in prospect.

He said the government feels that current rules, Jf strictly followed, will suffice. THE AIRLINES, meanwhile, have begun to act on their own in an effort to come up with a solution. The presidents of the nation's five largest airlines met this week to discuss the pcoblem. In addition, a task force of airline baggage and security officers met in Washington this week to discuss ways of increasing control over carry-on luggage. Individual airlines also have pushed ahead with tighter passenger and baggage screening procedures.

American Airlines, victim of one of this week's hijackings, said it will step up searches of carry-on baggage immediately. The airlines also said it is installing a large number of new and more effective magnetometers. UNITED AIRLINES claims to have magnetometers at every airport served by its planes. The airline says it has 132 of the -devices in all. Despite the airlines' efforts, however, passengers on hijacked planes have complained repeatedly (AP) gunmen who collected a $000,000 ransom when they hijacked a National Airlines jetliner over New York and forced It to fly to Texas today were held In jail here on $1 million ball each.

The hijackers, Michael Stanley Green, 34, of Washington D. and Lulseyd Tesfa, a 22-year-old Ethiopian studying at Howard I rslty in Washington, were awaiting extradition to Philadelphia where they had picked up the ransom and where the formal charges of air piracy were lodged against them. THEY TOOK over the plane Wednesday evening as It was about' to land at New York's Kennedy Airport from Philadelphia with 113 passengers aboard, and finally surrendered nearly 12 hours later at a small airport in Brazoria, Texas, 50 miles south of here. During the operation the hijackers ordered the plane back to Philadelphia where they took on $600,000 ransom and parachutes. They then released the passengers, while pilot Elliott Adams crashed through the cockpit window in a dramatic escape.

But the hijackers, armed with shotguns, pistols, a grenade and a bomb, ordered the remaining crew the co-pilot, flight engineer and four stewardesses to take them to Texas. FOUR TIRES on the plane blew out because of the quick braking needed at the short field of the small commuter airport. The hijackers released one of four stewardesses to carry to FBI agents a demand for a small plane to take them to an undisclosed destination. They also released the flight engineer, who was shot during a scuffle, while the co-pilot escaped through a door after being struck with a pistol. He suffered a broken pelvis in the jump to the ground but was reported to be in good condition, as was the engineer.

The hijackers, apparently realizing that escape was Impossible, 1 a the three remaining stewardesses and then followed them out of the door to surrender. They were taken to Houston for a preliminary hearing.

FAA ADMINISTRATOR John H. Shaffer has ordered an Investigation of all hijackings to determine whether airlines are living up to security regulations put into effect in April.

Two airlines, United and Pacific Southwest, were fined $1,000 each after the FAA ruled that lax security contributed to the success of a pair of hijackings that occurred within days after the new, regulations went into effect. The regulations require airline personnel to observe all boarding passengers to see whether any of them match a behavioral profile of potential hijackers developed by the FAA. THE AIRLINES also have the option of using metal-detecting devices or searching passengers or their hand luggage, but are not required to do so. The metal detecting devices are in use at many airports, but not all. An Air Transport Association spokesman said the airlines have spent about $2 million to date on the metal-detecting devices and considerable sums on other security measures.

"There is no way to calculate what percentage of passengers pass through the magnetometers," said ATA spokesman James McCarthy. "At some boarding places all passengers go past the devices. At other times or places, only persons believed to match the profile are sent through the detectors." Page A Friday, July 14, 1972 Chess Judges Toss Out Fischer Forfeit Appeal about lax security.

BELFAST, Northern Ireland UP) Gun battles raged through the night In Roman Catholic districts of Belfast and continued today after the British army abandoned its "low profile" and took the offensive against guerrillas of the Irish Republican Army. Three soldiers and three civilians were reported killed, raising the confirmed death toll to 16 since Wednesday and to 432 in the three years of communal violence In Northern Ireland. THE ARMY claimed to have hit more than 30 gunmen, but recovered no bodies because the guerrillas carry away their casualties for burial or treatment. Shooting erupted in all of Belfast's major Catholic strongholds after three battalions of troops Invaded the IRA "no go" district of Anderson-stown to quell gunmen who had poured Intensive fire at an army command post for four days.

IT WAS the first time the army had entered one of the districts taken over by the IRA. In the past such areas have been off limits to prevent a confrontation with the guerrillas holding sway there. Protestant militants have been demanding for months that the army go into the no go areas and clean out the IRA.

A spokesman would not say whether house-to-house searches would be made for guerrilla nests and arms caches. The invasion of Andersonstown was ordered by Britain's administrator for Northern Ireland, William Whitelaw, Army headquarters said. It "marked a reversal, at least temporarily, of Whitelaw's policy of reducing military activity in an effort to wean away the grass-roots Catholic support of the IRA. Whitelaw told a Conservative party meeting in London on Thursday night that he would "soldier on" with his attempts at conciliation, but he added that if gunmen are ferocious, "we will retaliate with the same ferocity." THE RETALIATION began shortly before midnight. A sandbagged Army fortification on Lenadoon Avenue had been under heavy IRA attack with guns and i bombs for five hours.
