NY Teacher Sues Swissair After Hijacking

NEW YORK (JTA)—A Brooklyn
Jewish teacher who was a passen-
ger on the Swissair plane hijacked
by Arab commandos Sept. 6 filed
suit here Monday for $75,000 in
damages against the Swiss airline
firm.
The suit by Mona Friedman, 23,
in State Supreme Court in Brook-
lyn, was believed to be the first
stemming frcrn the four hijackings
by members of the Popular Front
for the Liberation of Palestine.
Miss Friedman, a graduate of
Brooklyn College and Yeshiva Uni-
versity, was a hostage for a day
at the desert airstrip in northern
Jordan where the Swissair DC - 8
jet and two other hiacked planes
expectation of severe injury and
a hotel in Amman.
In her suit, Miss Friedman said
she suffered "bodily injury, wound-
ing, mental pain and anguish in
expectation of severe inury and
death."
Miss Friedman filed the suit
under terms of a 1966 agreement
signed by some 85 airlines with
the United States government,
which is a party to the Warsaw
Convention which exempts an air-
line from liability if it can prove it
was not negligent and limits dam
ages to $8,300 in each case.

Miss Friedman, who said she
had aggravated a leg injury
when she had to leave the jet on
an escape chute, will have to
prove the extent of that physical
damage, and she also will have
to establish a dollar value on her
mental suffering.

The total damages cannot exceed
the $75,000 demand, which is the
limit set in the 1966 agreement
worked out in Montreal. That
agreement was worked out be-
cause the United States indicated
it planned to pull out of the War-
saw Convention, which limits an
airline's liability on international
flights to 8.300 per case.
The airlines agreed to raise the
limit to $75,000 on flights covered
by tickets where the United States
is the starting point, destination or
stopover point.
For such flights, the airlines
agreed to waive the Warsaw Con-
vention provision holding an airline
not liable if it could prove non-
negligence. The four hijacked
planes were on flights bound for
American airports.

Airline Pilots Ass'n Joins
World Transport Workers
to Battle Hijacking
WASHINGTON (JTA)—Leaders
of 46,000 airline pilots in 55 coun-

tries said in a statement here
that they had decided "to co-
ordinate their activities with the

International Transport Workers
Federation against all forms of
violence in civil aviation."
Capt. Ola Forsberg of Finland,
president of the International Fed-
eration of Airline Pilots Associa-
tions (IFALPA), made the state-

ment after a special session of the
group here. The session was at-
tended by IFALPA top officers
from Britain, Italy, France, the

United States, Austria, Ireland,

Canada and the Netherlands.
The statement said that the prob-
lem of the hijacked hostages still

being held in Jordan "by the Pal-
estinian guerrillas" was "so deli-
cate" that IFALPA was refraining
from comment "at this time," but
it added that it was making the
statement on the joint action with
the transport workers "as a fur-
ther means of ending hijackings
and airborne violence."
Charles M. Blyth of London, ITF
general secretary, appeared with
Capt. Forsberg and "underlined
the mutual interests of the quarter-
million transport workers in end-

Arabs who were expelled to Leb-
anon for alleged collaboration
with the terrorists.

and the unfortunate thing is that he
who would act the angel acts the

brute. —Pascal.

ing air piracy throughout the
world."
The two officers also said that
"on the immediate problem, that
of the hostages, the matter is in the
hands of governments. IFALPA is
not involved in these very delicate
contacts and consequently refrains
from comment in order not to run
any risks of jeopardizing the situ
ation."
C. C. Jackson of London,
IFALPA, told the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency that the organiza-
tion "embraces all known pilot
groups free to join an international
organization without objections
from their governments." He said
that IFALPA now numbers _said
associations in 55 countries as
"full members" and that they in-
cluded Lebanon, Egypt and the
Sudan.
Knesset to Get Law
Punishing Hijackers
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Trans-
port Minister Shimon Peres is
drafting legislation for the Knesset
that would provide sentences of up
to life imprisonment for airplane
hijackers or persons who attempt
to hijack aircraft.
Persons who damage aircraft
would face sentences of up to 20

years.
Peres' draft would authorize Is-
raeli courts to try offenders whose
acts against aircraft were com-
mitted outside -of Israeli territory
and would permit flight captains to
detain any passengers who endan-
gered the safety of the aircraft.
Israel's airline, El Al, meanwhile
has rejected a complaint by Pan
American Airways that it acted
unfairly by diverting two sus-
peelous-looking passengers from
one of its own flights to the Arne.-
lean carrier.
The two passengers, carrying
Senegalese passports tried to book
passage on an El Al flight from

Amsterdam to New York but were
turned down, according to El Al,
because they aroused suspicion and
the flight was full. They were ad-
vised to try Pan American.
El Al said it notified the pilot of
the Pan Am jet of the suspicious
nature of the two passengers but
by then the U.S. jet had already
taken off and continued to New
York.
The Jerusalem Post reported
today that Israel sent another
warning to the PFLP that terror.
ists in Israeli custody would suffer
"serious consequences" unless all
hostages held in Jordan were re-
leased.
According to the Post the warn-
ing was conveyed to PFFLP head-
quarters in Jerusalem by six
prominent West Bank and Gaza
