ADEN, South Yemen (AP) A hijacked West German jet with four terrorist! and 87 hostages aboard force-landed on a dirt strip at Aden airport, refuelled, and returned, to the air early Monday reportedly heading towards the Persian Gulf sbiekdom of Kuwait Toe Ijifthansa Boeing 737 flew in a northeasterly direction and may be bound for Kuwait, the Kuwait control tower said. Heavy security measures were immediately imposed at the small Kuwait airport.

Several high-ranking Kuwaii government officials, as well as ambulances and fire engines, rushed to the airport. But it was not known whether the Kuwaiti government would allow the plane to land. Officials estimated it would take the hijacked jet between two and three hours to make the journey between Aden and Kuwait. The jet stopped for 10 hours at Aden airport af tei a deadline for death passed with the West Germar government refusing to meet the demands of the hi ackers who had threatened to blow up the planer There was no word on the fate of West German industrialist Harms Martin Schleyer, whose kidnapers had threatened to kill him unless the Bonn government met the hijackers' demands by the deadline-South Yemen's civil aviation agency said unsuccessfully tried to prevent the Lufthansa Boeing 737 from landing in the capital of Aden after it was turned away by the Sultanate of Oman. "But despite our disapproval the plane force-landed on a dusty strip," a South Yemeni spokesman said.

The government agreed to refuel the craft only if the hijackers lef "as soon as possible." The 82 passengers, including an American woman with a heart condition and her 5-year-old son, and five weary crewmen were reported safe following the shaky landing on the unpaved dirt strip. The jet, dark except for a faint illumination in the cockpit area where the hijackers are said to be. parked about two miles from the main terminal. The Aden airport was closed until further notice. In recent years, this Marxist country at the tip of the Arabian peninsula has granted refuge to hijackers and other terrorists.

But officials here insist the Lufthansa jet will not be allowed to stay. The Lufthansa jet had left Dubai airport in the United Arab Emirates 40 minutes before the 8 a.m. EDT deadline set by the four hijackers for release of 11 anarchists imprisoned in West German jails and two Palestinians imprisoned in Turkey as well as $15 million ransom. West Germany took no action to meet the demands as the deadline passed. The Bonn government continued round-tbeclock crisis sessions into the night to decide what their next step would be.

Part of the uncertainty at the moment rests with Carter's tax program, which is still being worked out. The businessmen said they favor a $22 billion tax cut, about the size Carter is considering. But they want a permanent Sweet stuff pays taxes businessmen had no complaints about their relationship with the administration.

Shapiro said the departure of Bert Lance, who resigned as director of the Office of Management and Budget in September after controversy about his financial dealings, Dance coordinator Judy Brierly said work on this year's dance went "unbelievably well," with local women making more than 600 pounds of candy to be sold during the dance. She said many merchants and other citizens contributed food and cash to help cover costs of the dance and the dinner preceding it. Town women do the cooking for the dinner; local youngsters wait on tables. The men run the bars, handle security and clean up afterwards.

Genoa started as a trading post for "49ers" headed for the California gold fields. First efforts to form a territorial government began in 1851. The town grew rapidly to a population of more than 3,000 but declined towards the end of the 19th century as trade routes shifted. It now has a population of about 150. GENOA, Nev.

(AP) -Hardly anyone enjoys paying taxes. But in this small Nevada town, citizens literally dance when they fill the tax coffers. That's because most of the money needed to run the town; Nevada's oldest settle' ment, is raised at the annual Candy Dance. When receipts are counted from this year's dance, held last weekend, organizers figure the town should be about $4,000 richer. The money will be used, as it has every year since the Candy Dance fund-raising technique was first used in 1919, for various projects.

Money from the first dance was used for electric street lights on the town's single main street. In the 1950s, Candy Dance money was used to buy the town hall a former dance hall where the Candy Dance has been held ever since. cut they can plan for, rather than temporary boosts for the economy. REP. AL ULLMAN, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, told the businessmen the legislation will have to be trimmed to such basics as tax simplification, capital formation and rate reductions if it is to pass next year.

Despite their dislike of the uncertain economic climate, Genoa doesn't get by on dance revenues alone. Property taxes are collected by Douglas County, which encompasses the town, and Genoa's share of the county tax is 60 cents per $100 assessed valuation. That pays roughly one-third of the town bills.

Michael Blumenthal for fighting for their positions with Carter. The businessmen viewed the President's attack on the oil industry for jeopardizing his energy program as unfortunate but no cause for alarm. At a nationally televised news conference Thursday, Carter said the oil and gas companies are trying to become the war profiteers of the energy crisis, cautioning that the nation faces the danger of "the biggest ripoff in history." THOUGH THE House has passed most of Carter's energy- package intact, the Senate has refused to go along with much of it. The final shape of the energy legislation is yet to be determined. Shapiro said Carter's criticism of the oil industry was to be expected after his defeats in Congress.

Blackout Texas in SAN ANTONIO, Tex. (AP) Electric power vanished from San Antonio for an hour and a half Sunday night when a transmission line failed south of the city. The lights went out throughout San Antonio, with about 800,000 residents, at about 7:10 p.m. They began coming back on at 8:38 p.m. However, some of the restored areas reported minutes later that the power had failed again.

Emergency generators kept electricity flowing at hospitals, officials said. Police Chief Emil Peters said there were some reports of looting but nothing official. He said the number of crimes reported during the blackout was actually lower than on an ordinary night, but another police official said that might be because of problems getting through to police headquarters. City Public Service officials said a preliminary investigation indicated that the problem was in a primary line between the city and the Calaveras Lake power station, 14 miles away. Peters said he was told the transmission line had been severed.

First reports said there had been an explosion at the power plant, but CPS spokesmen said that the blackout was mainly in the San Antonio area. to a growing sorority of armed women whose talent has been proven on the range and in the field.

(AP) Top businessmen say the best thing President Carter could do for the economy is spell out a consistent economic program, even if it is anti-business. "Markets can handle good and bad news but not uncertainty," said Irving S. Shapiro, chairman of the Du-Pont Co. "Even if we don't agree with the program, we'll know where we're going." At their twice-yearly meeting this weekend, corporation chairmen were net hostile to Carter, the first Democratic President in eight years.

Instead, the 120-member Business Council expressed confusion about the President's economic plans. "Business is looking for an economic strategy, articulated in a way we can understand it The market is not hearing that said Reginald H. Jones, chairman of General Electric Co. The Carter administration has set targets of reducing unemployment from 6.9 per cent to less than 5 per cent by 1981 and keeping economic growth at 5 per cent next year. HOWEVER, the businessmen said that since the economy may not reach the targets, they would like Carter to set out -concrete economic proposals, as he has done on energy, to meet his goals.

Administration officials acknowledge that uncertainty may be contributing to the stock market's slide. But they contend that uncertainty is inevitable, given Carter's detailed programs on energy, welfare and other issues. "There is an awful lot on Joan Utile still missing RALEIGH. N.C. (AP) Joan Little, who escaped from a prison over the weekend, was under too much pressure because of publicity she drew two years ago when she was acquitted in the death of a jailer she said had assaulted her, an attorney says.

Durham attorney Jerry Paul, who successfully defended Miss Little in her 1975 murder trial, said she called him late Friday night and told him "there was something she really had to talk to me about." Miss Little, serving a 7-to-10-year sentence on a burglary conviction, escaped from the North Carolina Correction Center for Women on Saturday. She had been turned down for parole last December but was scheduled to be considered again for release in a month. The likelihood of her being granted parole was not good, however, because of what prison officials said were infractions of work release program rates committed by Miss 'The level of hot pursuit is the same for any felon," W.L. Kautxky, deputy director of prisons, said Sunday of ef-forts to recapture Miss Little. PRISON OFFICIALS say tbey do not know how she got away, but Kautzky said a friend of Miss Little's was released from the prison not long before' the escape was discovered at 8:30 p.m., when dormitory doors were locked.

Miss Harmeier, a 1 i 1 ong i ent of Cambridge City, is a symbol of the ability of the 4,000 people who live in this small eastern Indiana community and adjacent towns to counter frustration and despair with optimism and determination.

The next day, she and Miss Harmeier mother, Mar-jorie, retraced the route Miss Harmeier had taken.

That question, in bold, black type, is spread throughout the nation on bumper stickers, posters and billboards, all part of a massive campaign that began the weekend after Miss Harmeier vanished.
