2C 'DAILY NEWS, JULY 14 1972 Fir mevsm By United Press International Two heavily armed men who hijacked a jetliner over New York City Wednesday night released three hostage stewardesses from the stranded plane yesterday at a Texas commuter airstrip and surrendered to the FBI. The National Airlines plane had been surrounded by FBI snipers and sheriff's deputies with high-powered rifles. Authorities had said earlier that the jet plane could not possibly take off from the airport at Freeport, since it Rot four flat tires when it landed and because the airport 50 miles south of Houston was too small. In another hijacking, a gray- hair'd Oklahoma man calmly surrendered early yesterday to a stewardess aboard an American Airlines jet over Oklahoma City after holding seven crew mem-liers hostage and collecting a $200,000 ransom. Ask Another Plane The Freeport hijackers, two Mack men who referred to each other as "Number One" and "Number Two," had earlier ignored pleas to surrender, but said they would leave behind the ransom paid by National if authorities met their new demands for another, smaller plane and a pilot dressed only a bathing suit so he could not conceal a weapon.

The incident occurred, when Fischer interrupted his play in the game for 35 minutes to protest the presence of the cameras. He later returned, but conceded the game to Spassky on the 56th move when he saw he had no way to prevent the Russian from turning his remaining pawn a queen, the most powerful, piece on the chess board. The third game of the match, which could go 24 games, is scheduled for Sunday. Ms Scorn Nixon's IPeace Plan By BERNARD VALERY Staff Correspondent of The News Faris, July 13 (Special) The Communist delegation to the resumed Paris peace talks today rejected President Nixon's latest Vietnamese peace plan as an "unreason able and absurd ultimatum.

Fischer said after his defeat in the opening game yesterday that, he would not play unless all television cameras were removed from the hall. Representatives of Chester Fox the firm that bought exclusive television and picture rights to the match, said they offered to compromise with Fischer's demands by removing one of their closed television cameras and relocating the others so they would not disturb the challenger. Spassky is Not Moved Spassky arrived about two minutes before the scheduled start of the second game.

He and Schmid walked slowly around the stage waiting for the challenger. The audience sat silently in the hall watching the empty black swivel chair that Fischer had flown in from New York for the match. The Russian appeared calm and relaxed. Schmid and Fischer were engaged in a dispute of their own. The judge demanded an apology from Fischer for calling him a posals and pushed their own, long-rejected peace package.

The Communist position, coupled with harsh condemnation of United States air strikes against North Vietnam, failed to move the conference off dead center as had been hoped in Washington. Agrees to Meet Again "The demand for an immediate ceasefire to come before an accord on military and political questions on conditions put forward by Mr. Nixon is nothing but an unreasonable and absurd ultimatum," Binh said. A United States spokesman, nevertheless, called the session agreed to hold a new meeting next Thursday. This reinforced speculation that a new and possibly more fruitful round of talks may be in the offing.

North Vietnamese Politburo member Le Due Tho, who has had a series of secret meetings with presidential adviser Henry Kissinger, was due here in a few days, possibly with new negotiating instructions. The North Vietnamese insisted that the semi-public plenary sessions were a requirement for any secret talks. As for the United States, it has always felt more headway could be made in discussions away from the Comics But Communist delegates hinted they might be ready to listen to any new proposal Nixon might make.
