Mrs. Booth told authorities David, believed the youngest person ever to attempt to hijack a commercial airliner, had watched reports of Raffaele Minichiello's transatlantic Odyssy Oct 31 on television and read about it in newspapers.

Gloria Jean House, the bloixje ballet dancer who was held hostage at the point of a butcher knife for 75 minutes, said David kept telling her, "I don't want to hurt you, I don't want to hurt you." David finally surrendered when Byron Kinman, chief of the airport police, boarded the plane after it taxied to a runway and told him "Son, there's no iy you can get away with this." Miss House said David became nervous then and pushed the knife against her back. "I told the to leave the boy alone, she said. "I was crying because I was scared." When an airliner was hijacked two weeks ago from California to Rome, David Booth followed its flight with keen interest. It looked'so easy, he thought. Monday he went to Greater Cincinnati Airport, telephoned his mother, then' grabbed an 18year-old girl at knifepoint and boarded a Delta Airlines DC9.

David is 14. "The boy said he couldn't make a decision on where he wanted to go but later he said he wanted to go to Sweden," said George the airline's local manager. East told Booth the twinengine jet was not equipped to cross the Atlantic, so the youth next said he wanted to go to Mexico.

Swenson will be inaugurated Jan. 5 as Harrisburg's first "strong mayor" and the first Democrat in 54 years to hold the office. The final official count completed Monday gave Swenson 8,751 votes to 8,701 for incumbent Republican Mayor Albert H. Straub, or a margin of 50 votes. Although an earlier count had given Swenson an edge of 67 votes, that was pared by a tally of 33 absentee votes that had apparently been overlooked by the inriws nf election.

There was no major dispute at the counting of the ballots from the Nov. 4 election in the Dauphin County Courthouse, but Republicans have five days after the tally is certified to appeal if they desire. Swenson, 43, operates a travel service in downtown Harrisburg and is a former state deputy secretary of commerce. Straub, who has served only two years, had to seek reelection or retire because of a switch from the commission to council-mayor, or "strong mayor" type of government authorized by the voters ii ho Mv 20 nrimarv TOMORROW a.m.; p.m.; p.m. Learning Festival, Letort School.
