HIJACJCINO Two more at rliner hi jac kings in the head lines. As it turned out though - nei,her brought the desired results - in fact, Just the opposite. First case - that or a young Frenchman who seized a Boe . 1ng 707 Jet due f to fly from Paris to Rome. The hijacker forced the pilot to fly to Beirut, Lebannon, and along the way, he appeared to be charming a woman passenger who called him "very sexy and cute." But once on the ground - he was Jailed by the Lebanese. Second case - for the hijacker - even more so. A young Panamanian attempting to take over a C-47 transport - when it took orr from an airfield in Panama. This chap wanted to fly to Cuba •. For this the pilot said he'J need more gas - so down they went for refuel1.ng. Whereupon the plane was quickly surrounded by national guardsmen when the hijacker burst through q door holding a hostage - he was promptly shot to death. CHRISTCHUR C H Latest on the exploits of Max Conrad - comes today rrom Christchurch, New 7ealand. The famed "flying 1randfatber" - as you kno•1 - attempting to become the first man ever to fly solo - around the world - via both North and South Poles. Now - tn Christchurch - getting his Aztec ready to head Kopefully, next week. Max reports that he has Just changed the name of his aircraft - maybe to escape the luck that has plagued him or late. Anyway, the original "St. Louis Woman" to be called, henceforth, the "White Penguin". C011e to think of it, Warren, penguins dol\' t fly. They waddle, and swlm. WEATHER Right across the cont1Aent - f rom the Rockies to New ~"ngland - temperatures today were from zero on down, for the second straight day. Even the south - the mercury hlt record lows. Why 1t was four below at Washington, D.C.; and only four above - at Atlanta, Georgia. Most unusual. Up here ln the Adirondacks, an almost perfect Winter day, with the therm0111eter around zero. Just right for the cross country race.
