It doesn't have much fuel. The plane's destination was not known. Reports from tower communications indicated the plane was heading towards Tampa, 60 miles to the west.

'the plane flew to Key West, and refueled at Boca Chica Naval Air Station.

It headed east-northeast and then headed to McCoy on another leg of an aerial odyssey that stretched from Alabama to Canada and back to Tennessee before heading for Havana. The hijackers at one point threatened to crash the plane into one of the nation's largest power plants at Oak Ridge, unless their demand for ransom was met. The same crew that was aboard when the plane was taken over Friday night was still flying the DC9 as it approached Orlando, a Southern spokesman said. He said the only rest the crew has managed to get has come during brief refueling stops en route. Authorities said the hijackers were armed with guns and hand grenades and had been supplied with bulletproof vests as part of the ransom demand.

Authorities said two of the men were wanted in Detroit on assault charges and the third was an escapee from a Tennessee prison. FBI agents in Chattanooga said an unspecified amount of cash, along with bullet-proof vests, food and helmets were placed on the plane when it landed there Still on board with the hijackers described as foul-mouthed and jittery were 26 passengers and a crew of four.

11. Veterans plead: By KEN O'BRIEN Home News sports writer PISCATAWAY Rutgers had the Nixon feeling yester day and Boston University could, sympathize with Mc-Govern. Coming hard on the heels of Tuesday's Presidential election was the landslide victory registered by the Scarlet Knighta over the invading Terriers from Massachusetts. The final count was 51-7. A dreary, rainy day accounted for a small turnout of customers, probably over-estimated at 7,500, in Rutgers Stadium.

With many holding umbrellas over their heads, they watched several precincts reporting in for the first time. For instance Split end Tom Sweeney, safety Gary Smolyn and substitute quarterback-fulltime punter John Piccirillo scored the first touchdowns of their college careers for Rutgers. Neither rain nor reserves could hold down the score. But it was the first-stringers particularly in the persons of junior tailback Jim Jennings, senior quarterback Leo Gasienica and junior running guard Andy Tighe who stretched a 17-7 halftime lead into a third-quarter bulge of 31-7. Then the substitutes poured in for the Scarlet and there was still more of the same.

Throughout the entire mismatch, the sturdy Scarlet defense kept BU on the short end of its own wishbone attack. The Terriers failed to complete one pass in a meager six attemptswith one resulting in an interception by junior defe-sive back Fred Billock that set up a late Rutgers score. Gasienica directed a diversified, high-gear offense as he completed eight of 16 passes for 106 yards and one TD. As for Jennings, he became the third Rutgers runner in history to surpass 1,000 yards for a single season. "JJ" carried 25 times for 102 yards and a TD, lifting his season total to 1,003 yards.

Both Gasienica and Jennings retired from the game midway 1 in the third period along with most of the other starters. "This was probably our best game of the year," jubilant Rutgers coach John Bateman said, "but we played a great game against Lehigh, too." One factor that particularly pleased Bateman was the fact, "This was our first chance all year that we've had to get even our second-stringers into the game." He also was happy that his team was able t6 play against a wishbone offense before meeting the same challenge again in the season's finale against Colgate in two weeks. This was the third straight victory for Rutgers and it gave the Scarlet a 5-4 record one more win than the Knights managed all last season. It was also the most points scored by Rutgers this year and the widest margin of victo- See GASIENICA, Page Bl give us back oar day By BOB KNOBELMAN Home News staff writer NEW BRUNSWICK The Veterans Alliance of New Brunswick and Highland Park has manned its battle stations but its fo eis die calendar. The alliance, organized in 1933 to coordinate veteran groups in the area, celebrated Veterans Day yesterday despite the federal designation of the holiday as the fourth Monday in October.

It intends to conduct annual festivities on Nov. 11. Jerome Bailer, commander of the alliance, made it clear that veterans revere the date. "We have a past to look back to, a present to live in and a future to look forward to. Nov.

11 is a memorable part of that past and must be handed down to our children," Bailer said. "Every holiday has become commercialized. They took a sacred holiday and moved it to a Monday to satisfy the department stores," Bailer explained. Federal law last year changed the celebration dates of Veterans Day, Memorial Day and Washington's and Lincoln's birthdays to Mondays. Four states Oklahoma, Indiana, Tennessee and Illinois have already passed state legislation to return to the original date.

Thomas J. Carugan national deputy legislative committeeman of the Veterans of World War hopes New Jersey becomes the fifth state to switch back. "Until the last veteran of World War I dies, this will be our day. We want Gov. Cahill and the state relisgature to get hot and change the date back," Carugan said.

Carugan went beyond the commercial rationale for the change. "A major reason for the move was to create three-day, weekends. But accidents are increasing and these long weekends are proving to be murder on the highways," Carugan said. Yesterdays celebration began with a memorial service for Joyce Kilmer, World War I soldier poet, at the graveside of his parents in Elmwood Cemetery. The poet, killed during the second battle of the Marne in July 1918, is buried in France.

The Rev. -Irving H. Decker of the Reformed Church of Highland Park issued a powerful invocation. "I want to thank you for keeping a day that has a world of meaning for all of us. Nov.

11 is significant because the history of America was won with a price," he said. The drizzling rain did not dampen the spirits of some 50 veterans, who came from throughout the state to pay homage and reminisce. State Sen. Wayne Dumont was to be the featured speaker last night at a "Star Spangled Mifsical Salute to Veterans" at New Brunswick Senior High School. New Brunswick Mayor Patricia Q.

Sheehan and mayors Paul Beck of Highland Park, Jack Pincus of North Brunswick and David Crabiel of Milltown also were sched- uled to speak. The musical program starred the Imperial Symphonic Band and 100-voice chorus of South River. They presented a concert of patriotic songs and hits from musical shows under the direction of Theofil Kadela. ts If t'I! I lt- Huge haul of hashish seized here By REGINALD KAVANAUGH Home News Staff Writer PISCATAWAY A combined raid staged by county and federal narcotics agencies here yesterday could be part of "the largest single seizure of hashish ever made in the United States." Seized here was 50 pounds of hashish with an estimated street value of $70,000. It was part of a related series of drug raids involving the same shipment.

The other raids were outside the county. Details on tnem were witheheld because investigations are not complete. Twenty officers representing five county police departments participated in the Middlesex County Narcotics Task Force which cooperated with the federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs in making the seizure here at 2:40 p.m. The statement about a possible record total haul was made by county Prosecutor John S. Kuhlthau who led the task force.

James John Krell 21 of 4601 New Brunswick Ave. and Stephen Ableman 24 of Wilmington Del. but living with Krell, are being held on $100,000 each on charges of possession of narcotics and possession with intent to sell as a result of the raid. The agents moved in on Krell's house yesterday when Ableman arrived in the two-story white frame building in his old, white sedan. In the house, agents seized 50 octagonal, one-pound discs of hashish individually wrapped in cellophane and sealed with masking tape.

Also seized police said, were four pounds of marijuana and scales. There were several other persons in the house with Able-man and Krell, but they were not involved in the arrests. The raid was the result of a l'Vmonth investigation involving extensive surveillance by the task force, Kuhlthau said. The two men were arraigned before Judge William Gazi in Piscataway Municipal Court shortly after the raid.

Mist ortune revisits napalm victim Vol. 187, No. 6 96 pages 25 cents TRANG BANG, Vietnam, AP) While diplomatic activity continues to encourage hopes for an end to the Vietnam war, misfortune has paid another call on Phan Thi Kim Phuc and her family in the hard-luck town of Trang Bang. Last June 8, a misdirected napalm strike by a South Vietnamese bomber cost the life of Kim Phuc's little brother and sent her running down a highway, naked and screaming in pain. Her photograph was published around the world.

After months in a Saigon hospital where she underwent specialized treatment for her burns, 9-year-old Kim Phuc was reunited with her family. But two weeks ago, the war came again to Trang Bang. Two platoons of North Vietnamese troops slipped into the town, 25 miles northwest of Saigon, occupied its eastern quarter and dug in for a fight. The townspeople, heeding the lesson learned in June, fled down the highway to safer places and waited while South Vietnamese troops went after the enemy. When Kim Phuc and her parents returned last week, they found their home destroyed.

What was once a handsome tile-roofed house was in ruins and the fruit trees were dead. The destruction apparently was wrought by more air strikes, directed against numerous North Vietnamese bunkers that had been dug in the family's back yard. "I wish peace would come quicker," said Kim Phuc's father, Phan Thanh Tung, "so that we and our neighbors can live and work quietly again. Life is so sad." He talks freely about what the last six months has brought a dead son, a scarred daughter, a destroyed home and unemployment for himself. But he sees hopeful symbolism in the family's undamaged altar and is not bitter.

He smiles easily, and shares his black tobacco water pipe with visitors, and invites them to have tea and to join the family's simple midday meal. As with dozens of other families, the rebuilding has begun for his family. New corrugated tin sheeting provides a roof. The dead trees are being cut up for firewood, and the zigzag North Vietnamese bunkers are being filled in to make room for a new vegetable patch. Kim Phucs school will reopen next week, after having been closed because of the fighting.

Meanwhile, she makes periodic return visits to the American-run burn clinic in Saigon for followup treatment. The patchwork of skin grafts has left deep scars on her back and left arm. She cannot move the arm completely and does physical therapy exercises daily. But last Friday, Kim Phuc grinned widely as she opened a present from a woman in Brooklyn, N.Y., who had seen the photo of her running down the highway. The clothes were for an American 9-year-old, a bit oversized for a Vietnamese.

What really caught her eye was the coloring book and crayons.
