One Hijack Successful Pilot Foils Youth's Attempt To Force Second Pla ne To Cuba From Pane 1) attack without C1NCPAC (Com- mander in Chief of Pacific forces) authority," Cassell said. Newsomo asked: "After the forces were positioned was any action taken to either at- tempt to effect recovery or to assist her?" Before Cassell could reply, Newsome was called io the bench for a whispered confer- ence with Vice Aclm.

Harold G. Bowen president of the court. Newsome then asked a differ- ent question: "Admiral, were any other actions taken by you at Commander Pacific Fleet headquarters?" "No," Cassell said. Reconnaissance Under questioning from E. Miles Harvey, attorney for Cnidr.

Bucher, Cassell said there were plans for the Seventh Fleet to send a reconnaissance plane over the Pueblo in the North Korean harbor. "CINCPAC did not authorize it," Cassell said. Q. Harvey: Did the Navy dis- cuss torpedoing or sinking the Pueblo? A. Cassell: "We discussed a lot of proposals.

One was send- ing aircraft in there and de- stroying the ship to prevent classified material from falling into the hands of the Koreans." At another asked whether felt" Pueblo's two ma- chine guns added to her ability to defend herself. "Yes, I do," Cassell replied. Bucher; has said he was hope- lessly outgunned by the North Koreans, and had wanted the Navy to install two 20mm can- nons before he set sail. Harvey asked whether Cassell thought the commander of na- val forces in Japan complied with instructions'to provide the Pueblo with adequate devices to destroy classified material. After a pause, Cassell an- swered, "No," adding, "My an- swer is just an opinion." Hammers Bucher has testified that his only way to destroy classified electronic equipment was with sledge hammers and fire axes.

Because the risk of attack against the Pueblo was consid- ered minimal, Cassell said, Air Force planes weren't ready to provide quick help "and simply could not have gotten there in time:" Cassell said: "The Fifth Air Force would have had to change the armament configuration and that would have taken an hour and a half, and then launched, and, then taking into considera- tion the flight time it would have taken an hour and 45 min- utes or perhaps two hours to reach the Pueblo." Cassell said lie went on board) the Pueblo before it left Hawaii on its mission adding his initial reaction was to her small size "her vintage im- pressed me!" The Pueblo was an Army coastal freighter during World War II and was used by the South Koreans during the Ko- rean War before she was con- verted into an intelligence ship.

I Associated Presi Writer MIAMI (AP) A knifc-wicld- teg Cuban hijacked a jet airlin- er with 93 persons to his native island Monday. But the passen- gers and crew of a second huge jet were spared a similar detour when their pilot decided a long- haired youth lacked the nerve to carry out his skyjack threat. The youth, Michael Peparo, IS, of Cold Spring, N.Y., and a girt companion, Tamsin Fitzger- ald, 18, of Poughkeepsie, N.Y., were arrested when National Airlines New York-to-Miami flight landed here.

Both were charged with air piracy and kid- naping and held witrout bond. Forced Airline officials said Peparo was carrying a knife and a can of rcpcllant when he forced lu's way into the cockpit of the flight carrying 73 persons. Capt. Harry Davis, the pilot, said Peparo told him he was eli- gible for the draft in about six months and didn't want to go into tile army. Peparo said he preferred a simple life of hard work, in Cuba if necessary, Davis said.

The first engineer. Harry L. Hendrickson, said Peparo gave way to tears several times while talking with the crew. Davis told officers ho "doubted the boy had the nerve" to carry out his threat. He said the crew convinced Peparo they would need more fuel to make the trip to Havana and he agreed to land in Miami.

After they were on the ground Peparo agreed to give up the plan entirely, Davis said. Peparo wore a mustache, shoulder-length hair, blue jeans, desert boots and a pullover sweater. Miss Fitzgerald wore boots and a flowered dress and carried a flute in a small black case. Lesson In Poughkeepsie, the girl's mother told newsmen her daughter "went to New York with her friend Mickey on the 8 o'clock train this morning. Sho said she was going to take a flute lesson and then do some errands.

I sort of thought she was putting me on Mrs. John Fitzgerald said her daughter and Mickey had been seeing each other "for about six months. Mickey lost his 2S (stu- dent) deferment when the term ended in January--he was at- tending Dutchcss Community College here--and Tamsin told mo he was worried about the draft." The four persons who left the hijacked Eastern Airlines plane in Cuba were "dressed well enough," pilot Capt. Jack Moore of i a i said. Capt.

Moore said the passen- ger list carried the names of the quartet, two men and two wom- en, as Babin, W. Hernandez, Mrs. W. Hernandez and Miss Hernandez." He said the men were Cubans "about 40, one about six feet (all with receding hair. The oilier a little shorter, maybe five feet, ten and ap- proaching the chubby side." "Go Back" "Only one spoke English and he told me, 'We are Cubans and we have to go Moore said.

"He didn't say why." Moore said one of the hijack- ers forced his way into the cock- pit with what "looked like a large steak knife with a blade about nine inches long" held against Stewardess Peggy Boul- ton, 20, of Philadelphia. Witnessing tho performance from a passenger seat was Al- len Funt, who used to film peo- ple in every conceivable situa- tion for his "Candid Camera" television show. "I had a ton of camera equip- ment, but it was in the luggage compartment," Funt said after returning to Miami with 83 oth- er passengers late Monday night. if I had taken pic- tures of the hijacking they (the Cubans) would have confiscated the film."

Yet there are pressures on the President from Congress to at least explore the possibility of opening up contracts with main- land Chins after 20 years of near total separation. Throughout this time the cen- tral dispute between Washing- ton and Peking has been over the Chinese Nationalist Govern- ment President Chiang Kai- shek on the island of Formosa.

The United States has pro- posed that the main land Chinese renounce the use of force in seeking settlement of the issue. The Chinese, scorning that approach, have demanded that the United States abandon the and For- mosa to them. Major Block In recent years the costly and expanding war in Vietnam has been another major block in the way of accommodations. With the end of the bombing of North Vietnam, last October, however, and the expansion of the Paris peace talks into a new phase, this issue may have declined somewhat in urgency.
