Everybody Safe Plane Was Hijacked By A Drunk TEL AVIV (AP) The dnmk Libyan who forced an Arab airliner to land in Israel Thursday said he did it as an Arab gesture of good will. But Israel's chief of staff says he will be tried as a hijacker. "Since I was a boy I was influenced by the persecution and hard life of the Jews in Libya," Mahmoud Toumi told a news conference Thursday after he surrendered his two pistols to Israeli security men. "I have no asylum except in Israel." "A drunk, mad boy," said Premier Golda Meir.

Officials said Toumi is a 37-year-old Libyan merchant who lived in Lebanon and carried a Libyan passport. Wearing a turquoise suit, he said he hijacked the Middle East Airlines' Boeing 707 jet "to show that not all Arabs want to throw the Jews into the ocean. Some Arabs believe Israel must have a country, but Cairo prevents the Arabs by force from showing this." Israel's chief of staff, Lt. Gen. David Elazar, said Toumi would be put on trial because "hijackers all over the world should be punished." Charge State Tax Improper, Illegal Halt Payment Of Phone Co.

The disclosures came in three copyrighted Articles in the Daily News which appeared on the newstands shortly after the Chicago Sun-Times carried a copyrighted story saying Walker's campaign received "apparently illegal contributions.

Richard B. Ogilvie's 1972 re-election campaign by beer distributors is being conducted by the Illinois Liquor Control Commission, chairman Michael Berz saysi The investigation was undertaken last June, Berz said in a telephone interview Thursday night, when David W. Morgan, executive director of the Associated Beer Distributors of Illinois, gave the commission a sworn statement in which he said he contributed to the campaign. The Chicago Sun-Times said Thursday that Morgan said in the statement that he personally delivered $1,600 to Ivan Maple, former executive director of the liquor commission, and that Maple had requested the contribution. Berz said he was surprised the account of Morgan's statement appeared in the Chicago Sun- Times and that it was released at this time.

He said he didn't think the investigation was complete, and that the reputations of innocent men may have been damaged. Morgan said the money was obtained from beer distributors, who are forbidden by law from making political contributions, the Sun-Times said. Morgan added the contribution was made after numerous phone calls and questions from Maple.

Maple personally in cash on three separate occasions," the Sun-Times quoted Morgan as saying. Some of the funds collected were actually solicited from the Liquor Control Commission Springfield office, Morgan said. While Ogilvie was never directly named, Morgan said Maple, who often referred to the governor ias "the boss," said "the boss needed some indication of what I was going to be able to do."
