Vatican forbids mass absolution, with exceptions United Press International VATICAN CITY The Vatican yesterday banned group absolution of sins except under extraordinary circumstances and ruled that Roman Catholics must continue to confess their transgressions in private with a priest. Vatican sources said a new document on the subject reflects official concern that Catholics are becoming increasingly more reluctant to recite their wrongdoings privately to a priest. The document condemned the "recent custom" of giving group absolutions, which church officials said has taken root particularly in North America and some European countries.

The Vatican did, however, con-film a wartime ruling of March 1944, that priests can give a collective absolution to persons in imminent danger of death. It also said collective absolution will be allowed in mission and other areas where there are large numbers of penitents and a dire shortage of priests to hear confessions. In both these cases, the document said, Catholics who receive a general absolution are "strictly obliged" to make a private confession within a year unless this is absolutely The hijackers, who referred to each other as "Number One" and "Number Two, 'at first ignored pleas to surrender and threatended to kill the three women. They said they would leave behind the $600,000 in exchange for a smaller plane and a pilot. Federal officials said the hijacked jet could not possibly take off because of four flat tires sustained on landing and because of the size of the commuter airport 50 miles south of Houston.

The two hijackers were identified in a warrant issued by a US magistrate in Philadelphia, where the ransom was paid and 113 passengers freed, as Michael Stanley Green and Lulseged Tesfa. They were ordered held in $l-million bond each. After the plane landed, three other crew members held hostage made it to freedom, two of them injured. A stewardess was released to relay the air pirates latest demands to the FBI. The flight engineer, shot and wounded -during an escape attempt, was allowed to be taken away on a stretcher.

In another hijacking, a gray-haired, 49-year-old former Oklahoma bootlegger, Marvin Fisher, calmly surrendered early yesterday to a stewardess aboard an American Airlines jet over Oklahoma City after holding seven crew members hostage and collecting a $200,000 ransom.

The first hijacking ended in Texas when the two men, armed with a pistol, a shotgun and believed carrying a bomb, freed the three women and walked down a ramp from a rear door of the National Airlines plane holding their hands above their heads. FBI agents and sheriff's deputies had surrounded the plane and FBI snipers armed with high- powered rifles stood on both sides of the runway of tiny Lake Jackson airport as authorities negotiated the surrender with bullhorns.

(AP) Pioneer 10 meets dangerous asteroids in voyage to PIONEER 10 ENTERS ASTEROID BELT Paul Langner Globe Staff The Jupiter Probe Pioneer 10, man's first effort to send an object out of the solar system, tomorrow begins the most dangerous leg of its voyage into eternity. If it makes it through the so-called asteroid belt, it will probably go on cruising through the universe long after the earth and the sun have vanished billions of years from how.

The probe was launched March 2. The asteroid belt, a doughnut-shaped ring of debris, circles the sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Actually it is misnamed because the asteroids, some as big across as Alaska, are not little stars at all but real planets. Besides the huge chunks of matter, the belt is full of tiny rocks and specks of dust. One of the Pioneer spacecraft's jobs is to measure the NEWS IN BRIEF eternity JUPITER ON A CLOSE PASS REACHED IN TIME Only Edmund Pedro's head shows as rescue workers dig him out of cave-in.

The scientists at the Ames Research Center, Mountain View, say the chances of Pionesr 10 making it across the asteroid belt are very good.

They had considered sending it either over or under the belt, but since it is so thick a more expensive and complicated craft would have been necessary to make such a detour. A collision with even a small pebble could destroy some of the instruments aboard and might even change the spacecraft's course. The nearest the craft is expected to come to any asteroid is about 5.5 million miles. The belt, which measures 1.8 billion miles around on the outside, is 175 million miles across and 50 million miles thick. All future flights beyond Mars will have to go through it.

Pioneer 10 will also swing past Jupiter sometime in December 1973 KOZO OKAMOTO admits responsibility Massacre An Israeli military court trying Japanese left-wing extremist Kozo Okamoto, 24, adjourned yesterday until Monday to deliver its verdict after hearing the accused claim full responsibility for the Lod Airport massacre of 26 persons on May 30.

Then it will continue its eternal journey into space. Even if the craft is harmed it is traveling at 56,000 miles per hour it has already done some work. Scientists have reported finding more interplanetary dust between Earth and Mars than they had expected. They have also found less dust than expected in the orbit of Mars which confirms the planetary sweeping theory. According to this theory, a planet sweeps a circle as it orbits the sun because the planet's gravity attracts all the particles in its path.

Pioneer 10 later this year will measure some of the sun's atmosphere when another Pioneer craft in earth orbit will measure the solar wind of inoized atoms that travel outward from the sun.
