2 Daily Record, Friday, July 14, 1972 Hijackers give up; lax security By The Associated Press Two armed hijackers forced a National Airlines jet to fly from Philadelphia to a little, out-of-theway Texas airport Thursday after releasing its 113 paseengers. The airliner was disabled in landing and the pair later freed three hostage stewardesses and surrendered. It was one of two widely separated skyjackings that began almost simultaneously along the nation's air lanes Wednesday night. Both ended with the sky pirates giving up, and with no loss of life. Two male crewmen on the National plane were injured by the hijackers, however.

Piror to their surrender, the National hijack team sought to make a deal with the FBI--the hostages and a small fortune in ransom money in exchange for a private getaway plane piloted by an agent. The airport at Lake Jackson; was too small to safely handle a replacement aircraft the size of their trimotored 727. Earlier, a man in a pink shirt with an empty pistol lost his nerve after commandeering an American Airlines New York-toSan Diego jet on an Oklahoma City-Dallas leg. He surrendered himself and $200,000 in ransom and was held in $100,000 bail after a tearful court appearance in Oklahoma City. In both cases, passengers complained of lax security that enabled the skyjackers to walk aboard with their weapons.

One reportedly concealed a sawed-off shotgun in a cast and sling on his arm. Another apparently wore a gun holster.

(AP) President Nixon arranged Thursday to offer Sen.

George McGovern continuing intelligence briefings as the new Democratic presidential nominee campaigns to oust Nixon from the White House. The chief executive, assured of the Republican nomination for a second term, instructed foreign affairs adviser Henry Kissinger to set up a meeting with McGovern to -discuss the briefings. If McGovern accepts the offer, the briefings probably would be conducted by Central Intelligence Agency Director Richard Helms or by members. of Kissinger's National Security Council staff. Press secretary Ronald L.

Ziegler said the offer would be extended only to McGovern and not to his Democratic running mate. This, he said, has been the custom in past election years. The briefings, Ziegler said, would keep the South Dakota senator "fully apprised" of foreign developments. He would not give specifics on what would be covered, but said he was certain McGovern would be "kept fully abreast on the continuing -an apparent. reference to the Vietnam, peace, talks which resumed Thursday in Paris quietly spokesman termed the session businesslike.

And the negotiators agreed to hold a new meeting next, Thursday. This reinforced speculation that a new round of secret and possibly more fruitful talks may be pending. Politburo member Le Duck Tho of North Vietnam, who has held a series of secret meetings in the past with Henry A. Kissinger, left Peking on Thursday en route to Paris. North Vietnamese Ambassador Xuan Thuy laid new stress on a linkup of a military and political solution to the war -slightly rephrasing the old Communist demands without fundamentally changing them.

He insisted that the United States end support for the South Vietnamese president, Nguyen Van Thieu to permit establishment of a coalition; government to be followed by a cease-fire. The U.S. delegate, William J. Porter, reiterated the allied position that a cease-fire should be put into effect first and that then "political issues can be discussed by the Vietnamese among themselves." Picking up after their longest suspension, the talks produced no visible movement toward peace. Instead there were the familiar polemics that have marked the conference during its 312 years.

Thuy and Mrs. Binh appeared to be exerting pressure on the United States to come up with some fresh proposals.

Ca Camera-shy shy Bobby forfeits No. 2 REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Bobby Fischer forfeited Thursday's chess game with world champion Boris Spassky. He stayed in his hotel room, sulking because of movie cameras in the playing hall. His balk for the second in a 24- game schedule left the score 2 to 0) in the Russian's favor.

This gave Spassky a powerful psychological advantage over Fischer, who has. never beaten the Fischer knew before he came to Iceland to play for the world title that the match would be filmed. And. Chester Fox, the promoter who owns the ibree cameras, said they were out of Eischer's sight and hearing. "He said just knowing they were there bothered Fox said, adding later: "I pity the poor guv." The future of the match, said chief referee Lothar Schmid, now depends on whether Fischer persists in his walkout.

Schmid said the International. Chess Federation could intervene and disqualify the American challenger, allowing Russia to keep the world title it has held for 24 years. But at the end of the day, Schmid said there would be a game on Sunday as scheduled. The row over the cameras begn carly Thursday when. Fischer said he couldn't play alongside them in the Sports Palace.

Fox, whose purchase of television and film rights for the match allowed the Icelandic chess federation to offer a record $125,000 in prize money, said the cameras had to stay. In an attempt at compromise, Fox's lawyer Richard Stein sent Fischer a letter at 5 a.m. appealing to him to at least talk about the problem. Fischer ignored the appeal. Ten minutes before the match was to begin, Fred Cramer, a U.S.

Chess Federation official, called the match organizers to say Fischer wasn't coming. Spassky entered the hall on time and took his place at the table. At game time Schmid started Fischer's clock as the rules required. Spassky looked perplexed. At the end of an hour, Schmid announced to "an angry crowd: "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 Spassky, who left the stage at times, emerged from behind the curtains after Schmid's an nouncement, bowed to the crowd and.
