Long range plans call for construction of a Hijackers bound for North Africa BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) - Five Japanese terrorists who hijacked a Japanese airliner over India five days ago headed for North Africa today with 19 hostages and six other terrorists looking for asylum. z As the Japan Air Lines DCB started across the Mediterranean from Syria, it radioed the Cyprus air traffic control center that it was going to Algeria. One American was among the cap tives still aboard the plane. Just before leaving Damascus, the hijackers told the control tower the rest of the hostages would be released at their Missionary raps capitulation 1 DACCA, Bangladesh (AP) —An American missionary among the hostages freed from the hijacked Japanese airliner condemned the Japanese government’s capitulation to the demands of the five terrorists. Jenabe Caldwell, 51, of Anchorage, Alaska, said the ordeal aboard the plane was “pretty horrendous, terribly, terribly brutal, but I wouldn’t have let those guys go.” “The minute we give in to criminals we’re finished, and that’s just what we’re doing," said Caldwell in a telephone interview from the Holy Family Hospital. Now’s the time to get ready for winter months First of 2 parts. Cold weather is just around the comer and utility people are urging consumers to prepare their homes for energy conservation or face mounting bills through the winter months. Major repairs and renovation are not necessary to prepare a home for the winter months. The good side of the energy con servation measures for the consumer is that most take little time and are relatively inexpensive. Also, most of the energy conservation measures can be taken by the consumer. If professional help is necessary, the consumer should contact the utility for a survey to determine actually what is DAI WS Daily Since 1872 Presbyterians have historic service final destination. But they did not disclose where that would be. There was speculation that if Algeria refused to give the terrorists refuge, they would turn to Libya or South Yemen, two Arab countries with radical governments which have ac cepted hijackers and other terrorists in the past. The hijackers are members of the ultraleftist Japanese Red Army which works closely with the radical Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. The jetliner flew to. the Middle East Sunday after a 4%day siege at the airport in Bangladesh, Dacca, and re fueled at Kuwait and Damascus. The takeoff from the Syrian capital was delayed while Japanese and Syrian officials tried to get more hostages released, but the hijackers refused. There were 156 persons aboard when the terrorists seized control of the Paris-to Tokyo plane early Wednesday after it took off from Bombay. The hijackers freed 115 of their hostages in Dacca, seven more in Kuwait and 10 in Damascus. That left 12 captive passengers and the crew of seven aboard along with the five hi jackers and six terrorists freed from Japanese prisons in response to the hijackers’ demands. The Japanese government also paid a ransom of $6 million. needed before getting involved in ex penses that may be unnecessary and may not conserve energy. One of the first recommended energy conservation measures is a check of the heating system to determine if it is producing the maximum amount of heat for the least money. Several things can keep the unit from operating efficiently. Filters in the system should be checked and replaced if necessary. Also, heating ducts should be checked to determine if there are leaks. They can be stopped by using duct tape which is available at most hardware, building supply and some discount stores.

The import fee would raise gasoline prices five to seven cents a gallon, the same increase envisioned by the Presi dent’s original proposal, Energy Secretary James R. Schlesinger said Sunday. “We are in this ludicrous position in which we are subsidizing every barrel of oil that comes into the country,” Schlesinger said. “That is the reason the (domestic) equalization tax was proposed. If Congress fails to enact that tax, the President must consider other alterna tives.” Schlesinger said the President could raise taxes on imported oil under the Trade Adjustment Act without having to get congressional approval. Schlesinger said the $5-a-barrel import tax would, by raising gasoline prices, have the same energy-saving effect as a |2.50-a-barrel tax on domestic crude. Schlesinger said the United States “cannot afford” to continue importing $45 billion worth of oil, the projected total for this year. heat from leaking outside and restricts the cold radiation from the window. 2.
