(AP) Soviets launch space station MOSCOW (AP) - The Soviet government launched a new space station, Salyut 6, today, Tass announced. Salit 6 apparently was sent up unmanned but in preparation for a new series of manned space flights. There was specu lation that a crew would be rocketed to it by Oct. 4, the 20th anniversary of the launching of the first artificial space satellite by the Soviet Union. Tass described Salyut 6 as an “orbital scientific station.” Another major Soviet anni versary is coming up, the 60th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution on Nov. 7. However, two days ago in Prague three Soviet cosmonauts denied a Japan agrees to pay ransom DACCA, Bangladesh (AP) — The Japanese government agreed today to hand over $6 million and nine prisoners to ransom 146 persons held hos tage by terrorists aboard a hi jacked Japanese airliner at Dacca airport. But the govern ment asked for an extension of the hijackers' deadline for the delivery. The terrorists from the ultra leftist Japanese Red Army re leased five hostages, including two of the five Americans known to be aboard the plane, an Indian couple and their in fant son. Japan Air Lines said the Americans freed were the pregnant wife of former Cali fornia Assemblyman Walter Karabian and a man named Krueger who was ill. The other Americans still aboard the plane were Kara bian, banker John Gabriel of Montebello, Calif., and Ga briel’s wife. The five hijackers had given the Tokyo government until midnight tonight (2 p.m. EDT) to deliver the ransom money and nine “comrades” held in Japanese jails. If their demands were not met, the terrorists said, they would kill the hostages one by one, starting with Gabriel. Local officials indicated the hijackers chose Gabriel be cause they thought he was Jew ish. But Rep. George E. Dan ielson, a California Democrat who is a personal friend of the 60-year-old banker, said in Washington he is of Armenian- Christian descent and had been in Soviet Armenia visiting rela tives. Another report said the hi jackers thought Gabriel was an intimate friend of President Carter. Danielson said he did not believe this was tue, but the White House declined to comment. A spokesman for Prime Min ister Takeo Fukuda announced that the money would be paid space spectacular was being prepared for that celebration. Tass said Salyut 6 would be used for “scientific and techni cal research and experiments and also to work on the con struction, on-board systems and equipping of orbital stations.” The report said the station was functioning normally and that its data was being received by tracking stations in the Soviet Union and on ships of the Soviet Academy of Science in the Atlantic ocean. Salyut 6 was reported orbiting the earth every 89.1 minutes at an orbital inclination of 51.6 degrees. The distance of the orbit above the earth ranged from 136 miles to 171. and the prisoners sent to join the hijackers. But he said it was impossible to get them to Dacca in the 18 hours then remaining until the deadline. As officials of the Bangladesh government and the Japanese embassy negotiated at the air port with the hijackers, the Japanese government was con tacting the nine prisoners to ask whether they wanted to be sent to Bangladesh. They were in jails in Tokyo, Kyoto and Okinawa. The hijackers took control of the JAL DCB jet after it left Bombay Wednesday morning on a flight from Paris to Tokyo. It landed at the Bangladesh capital four hours later. About two-thirds of the 142 passengers and all of the 14 crew members aboard when the plane was hijacked were Japanese. The released hostages report ed there were five hijackers, the Japanese Foreign Ministry reported. They said four were Japanese men under 30 but the fifth wore a mask and they could not tell his nationality. The Foreign Ministry said Bangladesh authorities reported they were armed with .38-caliber pistols and hand grenades and appeared to have a store of explosives in the cock pit. Although Japanese police es timate the Red Army has only 20 to 30 active members, it is the best known of Japan’s ultra leftist terrorist bands because its actions have been the most spectacular and it is allied with the guerrillas of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Many of its operations have been outside Japan, including the massacre at Israel’s international airport in 1972 in which 26 persons were killed. New York’s diamond district uneasy after murder NEW YORK (AP) - Murder and the disappearance of up to $1 million in gems has left Manhattan’s bustling diamond district uneasy as police seek the killer of 25-year-old gem broker. Detectives sifted evidence taken from the tiny office of diamond cutter Shlomo Tai, 31, who led police to Pinchos Ja roslawicz’ body on Wednesday. Tai recounted a bizarre tale of robbery, kidnap and murder by two shadowy male intruders. Tai, who has not been charged, was being held as a material witness in the case, and was set to appear today at a Maxwelll I II I I I| J ■ W B FURNITURE I I I I I I I I I Fri. 9-6 I I J I II I Jzj Sat. 9-6 h| I fl I I Jr J bl'4ll H I I I [>■ Li S? #?'###<( H I | ’ jhl flff OH fl I’ I I I HH J 7 ? ’f hI H B .wk.' wi wMKi /•■■■•'•' H ■ H BL ; WJIT.IJI Bl uhil^* y oo6^ I U I mBIMEi.

The material witness status enabled authorities to keep the solidly-built, shaggy-haired Tai available for further question ing without charging him with any part in the crime. Steven Hyman, one of Tai’s two attorneys, said his client was cooperating with police, but was not happy that Tai was being held as a material wit ness. Tai, described as a high-living business acquaintance of the slain man, had been missing for three days. He told police that two men entered his office Sept. 20 and beat Jaroslawicz, 25, to death. He said he continued doing business for five days while Ja roslawicz’ body lay stuffed in plastic bags in the office. Tai said he was afraid “for his life and the safety of his wife and children.” Tai said he later was ab ducted by the same men, who forced him to drive them around for three days. He said he was drugged by the men and left in his car, where he was found Wednesday with about $30,000 in jewels under the car’s front seat. Authorities said Jaroslawicz Page 11 had been beaten and suffocated. Jaroslawicz* slaying came as a shock to the tight little world of diamond dealing. Carter’s trip called symbolic ATLANTA (AP) — President Carter’s upcoming trip to Ni geria is a symbolic gesture that “shows how the United States’ policy toward Africa has changed and changed during this administration,” says Co retta Scott King. Mrs. King, the widow of slain civil rights leader Martin Lu ther King Jr., made her com- — Griffin Daily News Thursday, September 29,1977 An estimated 80 per cent of the U.S. diamond trade takes place on one block of West 47th Street, between Fifth and Sixth ments Wednesday at a news conference. Recently named as one of five U.S. delegates to the United Nations, Mrs. King said black Africans are generally pleased about Carter’s upcoming trip. She also said that nations of the “Third World” - the world’s less-developed nations — look to the U.N. for help. avenues. One source said the sale in gems may go as high as S4OO million a day. “They believe that the best hope for their countries to solve the problems they have — polit ical, economic and social — would come through the United Nations,” she said. Although her primary assign ment is to the U.N. economics committee, Mrs. King said her duties will include participation in human rights discussions.
