Police identified the gunman who carried a loaded revolver as Viktor Widera, 58, a German with a long criminal record. The stewardess, Margit Sommer, 31, a German-born resident of Montreal, was described by an Air Canada spokesman as "unharmed and just terribly tired." Widera was killed by "one well-aimed shot" from 60 yards as he stood at the partly open door of the Air Canada DC8, which he commandeered Friday afternoon to press demands for release of various prisoners held in West German jails. "When Widera pushed the door open, Miss Sommer ran a few yards away from him down the corridor, giving police sharpshooters on the ground a chance to fire one well-aimed shot from 60 yards," Vogel said. Police then stormed aboard the plane and found Widera fatally wounded in the passageway.

Miss Sommer, who joined Air Canada in Paris in 1967 after study at the Sorbonne, was whisked away after the rescue and lodged in an undisclosed hotel. West German Radio reported that Air Canada had sent several million Deutsche marks to the airport to meet any monetary demand for Miss Sommer's release. The airline's local office refused to comment on the report." Although Widera made various demands for release of prisoners, police did not report that he asked at any time for money. Widera, who was described by police as having "strong pathological traits," threatened to blow up the airliner along with himself and Miss Sommer if his demands were not met. Widera claimed he had a package of dynamite.

police stormed the plane after he was shot, they found a small parcel containing a powdery substance which was not immediately identified. Widera, a short man, was dressed in brown overalls. Horst Vobel, who directed the special 150-man police security force, told newsmen that "colleagues with special training were under orders to shoot the hijacker in a crystal clear situation that would not endanger the hostage." The sharpshooters' first opportunity came when Widera showed himself, with a handkerchief pressed to his mouth, as authorities passed a two-way radio through the plane's front door. He had accepted the radio to speed up negotiating with police. 'J jf I I 1 issinger, Tho AP photo talks mterra DC MARGIT SOMMER "just terribly fired" Records tumble mm until Dec.

Kissinger and Hanoi's Le Due Tho agreed Saturday to interrupt their critical secret peace talks for nine days, apparently to seek new instructions from their governments. The U.S. special envoy left for New York to report to President Nixon during what the President had intended to be a private family weekend. Kissinger refused to talk to newsmen at Orly Airport as he smilingly took leave of his chief aides and the head of the South Vietnamese delegation, Pham Dang Lam. "I'll see you on Dec.

3," Kissinger told Lam. The North Vietnamese delegation said Tho would remain in Paris to await the resumption of the secret talks on Dec. 4. A delegation spokesman said Kissinger had suggested the break. Kissinger and Tho, accompanied by only their top aides, met for two hours In Tho's residence in suburban Choisy Le Roi.

Both sides refused comment on details of the negotiations. The unexpected Interruption came after reports in 6aigon that South Vietnam's special observers at the talks told President Nguyen Van Thieu that the negotiations were "virtually deadlocked" over North Vietnamese troop withdrawals. A Saigon newspaper controlled by Thieu's Independence Palace qifoted a "high source" as saying no optimistic signs had been seen in Paris. The paper added in an editorial that peace remains "far away" because the negotiators have ignored the troop withdrawal issue. One of Thieu's main- objections to the draft peace accord was that it said nothing about North Vietnamese troop withdrawal.

Kissinger and Tho refused comment on a Washington Post story that the talks were deadlocked by an American refusal to honor the tentative agreement reached last month. In New York, presidential press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler Said it had been mutually agreed "not to discuss the substance of the talks or characterize them in any way whatsoever." Asked about any obstacles that may have come up during the talks, Ziegler said, "I would caution you" against excessive speculation." He added that both sides "are negotiating seriously." It was the U.S. position, Ziegler said, not to sign a final agreement "until the agreement is right." The administration spokesman also said that Nixon has agreed to meet this week with Thieu's special assistant Nguyen Phy Due who is coming to Washington to discuss the negotiations. Due is the South Vietnamese counterpart of Kissinger.

His trip to Washington follows reports that Thieu believes South Vietnam's views on the agreement have not been made sufficiently clear to Nixon. The official Hanoi newspaper Nanh Dan charged that the Nixon administration was creating "all the difficulties and troubles in the path of ending the war." The paper accused the United States of "trying a 180-degree turn" in backing away from the draft agreement. Home News photo by Pat Ferraloll through the window of tho art director's office.
