His passenger was well-dressed, well-spoken and appeared normal except for a fancy transistor radio and briefcase he refused to let out of his grasp. The man said he was an Ontario land developer looking for potential sites in British Columbia. His destination, he said when chartering the Cessna 172 plane from Trans Mountain Air services, was Bella Coola.

As it turned out, they flew on to Puntzi Lake, a remote little-used airstriD in the and white cab owned by one of the now-dead hijackers. "We're certain it wasn't a Canadian-owned cab and we know one of the deceased persons was an independent cab owner," said a police spokesman. Mrs. Mary Lou Townsend, 26, operator of a service station and cabin complex near Puntzi Lake, said today she recalls the three men arriving by cab. "They said they were real estate developers from the Lower Mainland.

They didn't say precisely why they were here but I presumed they were looking for land to buy. "They arrived about 6:30 a.m. one day and had breakfast here. Then they took off and returned about 5:30 p.m. mountains 80 miles west of Williams Lake.

Storvold didn't know it then, but the FBI and RCMP confirmed today that his passenger was one of three men involved in an $800,000 plot to hijack a Pacific Southwest Airlines jet at San Francisco international airport, Two of the hijackers and one passenger from Montreal were killed in an exchange of gunfire between FBI agents who boarded the Boeing 737 jet. The Mounties found that all three hijackers, including the two killed July 5 in San Francisco, had visited Puntzi Lake around June 18. Police believe the trio drove to the isolated spot iu a blue Then they bought some pop and chocolate bars and left," she said. Mrs. Townsend could not recall the actual date the three men visited her.

"But I do remember that one of them returned on July 5 with a pilot. lie was dressed in a dark suit and was very nervous and fidgety. He seemed to be in an awful rush. "He kept repeating himself but I didn't think too much about it," added the mother of four.

3.) West Van culverts cited HiC ''W'O turn over their hostages, the ransom money and the jetliner in exchange for a small plane with an FBI agent as pilot. The deal, announced by the FBI, broke a stalemate which began when the hijackers landed at a small airport near Lake Jackson, aboard a plane seized at Philadelphia Wednesday night. After the National Airlines Boeing 727 touched down the wounded pilot and a badly beaten flight engineer left the plane and it was surrounded by armed law officers. The exchange plane, a single-engine Cessna 182, was sitting halfway down the S.lKXMoot runway awaiting preparation of another plane to follow tlie Cessna, the FBI said. The FBI agent selected to pilot the small escape plane was identified as Fred Hartung.

The hijackers stipulated that Hartung strip to his underwear. The hijacking of the National Airlines plane was one of two that began Wednesday night. The other was against American Airlines for a ransom of $550,000 but the lone hijacker gave up at Oklahoma City early this morning. The shotgun-wielding hijackers of the plane down in Texas demanded ransom but olficials would not say how much was paid. The piano landed at Brazoria County Airport, about 50 miles south of Houston, the Federal Aviation Administration said.

The pilot and flight engineer were taken to a local hospital, the latter with a gunshot wound in the side.

The pipe links tank cars barged in with supplies of chlorine for the mill to the main system of the Rayonier Canada plant. As a doctor and mire worked to evacuate seven patients from the hospital near the plant, the 80-man afternoon shift at the mill was ordered out and 70 people were told to leave the movie house. Main community for this Vancouver Island pulp mill town is now at Rumble Beach, four miles from the plant.

Company spokesman Jim Bugyo said today that the hospital and other facilities near the plant should have been moved to Rumble Beach before now but there had been "scheduling problems." RCMP said both leaks came in the same length of pipe. Tie first was minor and involved "an operational problem," the company said. But the second enveloped a number of people in a choking cloud of gas. About a score were given emergency oxygen treatment. Plant manager Ralph James said there were 90 tons of chlorine used in the pulp process in the tank car and lie estimates less than one ton escaped.

REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Bobby Fischer forfeited his chess game with world champion Boris Spassky today by failing to appear at the playing hall. The American boycotted the game because he objected to the presence of movie cameras in the hall. The forfeit gave the Russian, who beat Fischer on Wednesday, a 2-0 lead in the scheduled 24-game series. It was uncertain whether the match would survive. Chief referee Lothar Schmid gave Fischer the hour provided by the rules to make his first move.

When the hour was up, Schmid examined the clock, walked to the front of the stage and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Fischer did not appear in the playing hall. According to rule No. 5, if a player is more than one hour late, he loses the game by forfeit." Spassky was not on stage at the time. He later emerged from behind the beige curtains backstage, bowed to the crowd and were completely inadequate," he charged.

"They were built on a temporary basis to handle normal flow during construction. For anything extra, they were totally insufficient." Williams called for compensation for West Vancouver flood victims from the province's disaster fund and demanded in a telegram to Premier W. A. C. Bennett and Highways Minister Wesley Black that work on widening of the highway be stopped "until engineering and design can be reassessed in light of drainage requirements and hazards of recurrence." Black, contacted by The Sun regarding William's charges, snapped: "I wasn't there, how can I make a statement?

"The panic is over," West Vancouver public works director Frank Cross said. "Now v.e can get down to the job of cleaning up." But even as municipal and department of highways officials surveyed damage to the tpper Levels Highway and to the high-priced residential districts of Altaniont and West-mount below the highway, the big question was: "Why did the flooding occur?" West Vancouver Liberal MLA Allan Williams, whose family along with about 30 others was evacuated during the height of the crisis Wednesday, placed full blame on the highways department. "The culverts built by the department along the highway early second-round lead in the British 0en Golf Championship today with a 70, while Jack Nick-laus loomed just one stroke off the pace.

Police warned the residents, however, that if heavy rain 3.8 inches fell on the North Shore in the 24-hour period to 11 a.m. Wednesday started falling again, they should again be prepared to move out. A. police spokesman and some of the residents said people were heading back to their homes for fear the dwellings would be looted.

West Vancouver police had extra men on overnight patrol in the residential areas hit by the flooding and stopped motorists heading for the area unless they were official personnel or could prove they had been evacuated. But signtsccrs wandered through the area on foot, snapping pictures of the silt-covered gardens and talking to residents. Youngsters and dogs cavorted through newly-formed streams and miniature waterfalls. "We're keeping a close eye on the area," a police officer said. "It's under constant patrol." With the weather office forecasting only showers of rain for the next two days, residents appeared confident there would be no recurrence of major flooding.
