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

capitulation
1 DACCA, Bangladesh (AP) —An

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

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

Palestine.

Sunday after a 4%day siege at 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

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.

Carter holding
oil levy hike
as alternate
WASHINGTON (AP) - President
Carter is considering a $5-a-barrel levy
on imported oil if Congress scraps his
plan to raise domestic crude oil taxes,
according to his top energy adviser.
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.

The October term of Spalding
Superior Court got under way this
morning and is expected to continue for
4 weeks. The first half will be devoted to
trials of civil cases. The criminal
session will begin Oct. 17.
Twenty-three new grand jurors were

offices and will make several appoint

indictments are expected to be
returned.
Since most of the jurors are serving
for the first time, Judge Andrew

chosen and went over their duties in
detail.
The grand jury will appoint a judge to
