Charged With Aiding Skyjack Suspect REYKJAVIK Iceland (AP) Organizers of the world chess championship reported considerable progress Friday night in their negotiations with Bobby Fischer's lawyer over a last minute demand for more money by the American challenger However after an hour and a half session with Andrew Davis Fischer's attorney officials of the sponsoring Icelandic Chess Federation said they had been given no assurances Fischer would appear for the beginning of the match today with Russia's Boris Spas-sky A spokesman for the federation said he got the impression Davis was seeking a compromise in the dispute over the new financial conditions posed by Fischer Calls Off Flight Davis Fischer's confidant as well as legal adviser arrived here Friday on a flight from New York which was to have carried the 29-year-old chess genius to the site of his 24-game match Fischer had reserved space on the plane and checked his luggage on be fore he changed his mind He suddenly called for his bags from the aircraft and disappeared from New York's Kennedy airport after holding up the flight for more than two hours Wants 30 Per Cent What Davis and officials of the Icelandic Chess Federation had to sort out was a fresh demand by Fischer for 30 per cent of the gate receipts collected during the match Without the extra money he threatened to boycott the match scheduled to begin on Sunday It was learned that Gutmunder Thorarisson the federation president spent most of the night in sometimes heated telephone conversation with Fischer's representatives in the United States Thorarisson said late Friday that "nothing has been settled" A Moscow dispach indicated Russian concern over developments A Tass writer claimed Fischer was disrespectful to the organizers and was placing the value of money over that of the sport of chess St Louis rather than at Detroit Metropolitan Airport because the Detroit airport was too close to their home area and "because they felt security devices were less stringent at St Louis airport" The FBI said Petlikowsky drove McNally to St Louis June 22 the day before the plane was hijacked and waited for McNally to board success-lully He then returned to Detroit the FBI said They had sawed the machine gun down so it would fit into a brief case McNally carried on the plane the FBI said "The original plan of the hijacking called for McNally to jump from the plane near Monroe Mich Welch said Monroe is about 40 miles south of the suburban Detroit homes of the two Petlikowsky walked into a police station in suburban River Rouge late Thursday night Welch said offering to provide information about McNally Petlikowsky at first claimed he innocently met McNally in Peru and drove him back to his suburban Detroit home about 150 miles from the Indiana town "After FBI agents checked out his story and its obvious inconsistencies with known facts" welch said "it furnished further information which along with the original FBI investigation today has resulted with an aiding and abetting charge" against Petlikowsky Welch said the men had made elaborate plans to hijack a plane He said they decided to hijack an airliner in close friend's for years and used to "hang out at gas stations" together Welch said Petlikowsky admitted that he and McNally spent five months planning the hijacking Welch said Bond Set At $100000 US District Court Judge John Fei-kens arraigned Petlikowsky on charges of aiding and abetting piracy and set armed air bond at $100000 Welch said Petlikowsky and McNally made several trips to St Louis Mo" where the hijack plane originated on a flight to Tulsa Okla in planning the June 23 hijack Petlikowsky owned and provided the machine gun used by McNally the suspected hijacker in taking over the American Airlines Boeing 727 the FBI said DETROIT (UPI) An unemployed house painter admitted he plotted with accused hijacker Martin McNally to skyjack a jetliner and parachute to freedom with $502000 in ransom money the FBI said yesterday Neil Welch head of the FBI here said Walter Petlikowsky 31 of suburban Ecorse was charged with aiding and abetting McNally 28 of Wyandotte in the hijack that ended last Saturday with the hijacker bailing out over Peru Ind The FBI said that Petlikowsky supplied McNally with the machine gun used in the hijacking and helped him elude police after McNally parachuted to the ground over north central Indiana The money and the machine gun were found in a field near Peru McNally and Petlikowsky had been Futile Job Hunt More Than 1000 UCD Students Cannot Find Work DAMS More than a rftCI t-vi fvTf i i gin However the increase in job seekers appears to be greater than the projected increase in agricultural needs HFD workers report Many growers find an adequate labor supply from migrant workers Others hire only a limited number of students because the young people must quit about Oct 1 to return to school Mrs Orzalli predicted some students will be unable to resume school in the fall if they cannot find full-time summer work "Last year the bulletin board outside this office was so full we kept rearranging it to get everything on" she said "Now we have to spread the listings all over so it won't look quite so pathetic" Prospective employers can call the UCD employment office until 9 pm on Wednesday's The number in Davis is 752-0520 4100 students have been referred to 1370 jobs about 1200 more applicants than last year with no increase in the number of jubs The situation is particularly hard on an estimated 170 Educational Opportunity Program students MOSTLY MINORITIES who must earn a certain amount to augment their education subsidies she pointed out Many of the unemployed have job skills and bilingual abilities she noted For instance Ana and Llis Daumont EOP studnets in sociology and young parents speak Spanish fluently and want to teach English to Mexican-American children They have previously worked as teacher aides Few Education Jobs Summer work i the migrant education program especially for students not majoring in edlcation is almost nonexistant reported Frank Ludovina district manager of the 12-county Northern California program Staffing has tightened and most teacher aides remain in the program year-round he said One pre-medical student who holds an operating-room technician's license has been unable to find a hospital job or any other kind of full-time work Mrs Orzalli said "Although many students have experience in laboratories and professional offices they are willing to do anything" she said "Right ow the fellows are grabbing day to day yard work Many girls have resorted to babysitting normally unpopular due to low pay" Farm Jobs Iter The situation is elpected to improve by late July or early August when tomato and other crop harvests be thousand students spending the summer on or near campus at the University of California at Davis have been unable to find summer jobs Many more students than usual are summering here at a time when high unemployment is forcing much of the regular work force into seasonal jobs lsually available to students The picture drawn by the CUD student employment center and the State Department of Human Resources Development (CHRD) indicates little prospect of substantial improvement which means some students may be unable to continue their education in the fall Too Many
