State AIR PIRACY INCREASING: Is F Stone'sneak's Jet hijackings create new concernon 'our murk times' E l LONDONT (ATT iP) -"WXhat v- ..,.I m .-..,and n+1,. nnrp ,.rl i.. I'. ' - IVu JyUI, VV kw a afraid of," said an airline official in London, "is that some day some silly so-and-so will poke a gun into the back of the neck of the pilot and order him into an airport that he doesn't know, or that isn't equipped to handle his plane. He'll be forced to risk a landing, plunk down his plane and crash." He was talking about the score of hijackings or attempted hijack- ings that have taken place this year. So far there have been no prov- en fatalities on Western commer- cial airlines as a result of hijack- ings. All planes seized on sched- uled flights have been returned. But pilots, airline officials, law- yers, insurance specialists, govern- mens no a .ines cocnema .wic civil aviation are searching for a solution to the growing problem. The consensus among them is that the only defense devised so far is a piece of paper-an inter- national convention pledging na- tions to return hijacked planes and the people aboard, and to assist where possible in prosecution of the hijackers. Progress is slow. The convention was drafted five years ago at an international meeting in Tokyo. Prompted by this summer's hi- jacking of an Israeli plane, the September meeting of the Interna- tional Civil Aviation Organization urged its member nations to ratify the convention and bring it into force. The United States promised to do so by the end of the year., Cuba, the frequent destination of hijackers, supported the plan. The International Federation of Airline Pilots Associations, based in London, wants an even stronger agreement to permit prosecution under something like the maritime piracy laws. This seems unlikely and might not do much good. The U.S. Congress applied the piracy laws to aircraft hijacks in 1961, but aerial pirates usually flee to politically friendly states and are not extradited. Although hijacking has o v e r- tones of piracy, it is something new. The crime itself has no pre- cise international definition. It usually lacks the element of out- right robbery that characterized pirates seeking plunder. M o s t hijackers simply want to get from one point to another. They cannot sell a stolen commercial airliner, The problems of punishing hi- jackers are clouded by the legal' concept of territoriality - which means that states punish crimes taking place on their own terri- tory. Hijacking often takes place over international waters. The hi- jacker soon leaves the flying piece of territory on which he commits his crime. Under extradition laws, his crime - often defined as endan- gering the safety of a flight or only a simple assault - may not be regarded as serious enough to warrant his return home. Cuban officials have refused to discuss what happened to the who flew there. hijackers Peter Martin, a leading inter- national aviation lawyer and co- editor of the standard British text-, book on air law, says: "Hijacking of aircraft is, in} effect, a form of armed robbery with violence. As with murder, there is no sanction on earth strong enough to deter a potential hijacker from taking an aircraft if he wishes to do so. Worse, there is no real possibility of restrain- ing an armed and determined man in an aircraft and the consequenc- es of doing so could be catastro- phic. "The safety of the passengers and crew is paramount. The return of the aircraft is secondary but also very important. It must there- fore be made a matter of interna- tional agreement to punish hijack-' ers in the state where they have forced the aircraft to land, and to facilitate the return of the crew and the passengers and of the air- craft itself." In Martin's view the Tokyo con- vention would be a first step but a necessary one. He suggests that if some nations held out against ratification, others might threaten to withdraw landing rights to their airliners. Martin sees another pos- sible lever that might work quick-' ly: "The insurance markets of the world would unequivocaly refuse to give cover for aircraft flying to states not parties to the conven- tion. Airlines would soon bring pressure on their governments to ratify if they had to run the risk of meeting the costs of losing an aircraft out of their own purses." (Continued from page 1) Adding personal perplexion to some inciteful insights, Stone con- tinued: "What do you say to blacks who can't get past unskilled labor in this society and whose families are rotting on the outskirts? Do you tell them not to riot when youj know that no one will give a damn unless there is violence?" But if Stone senses the need for the alienated and the disen- Write-wIn declared -n I inalid (Continued from Page 1) write-in stickers have been dis- tributed, and a new batch is on the way. - Ross admitted that the Kelley move caught him "not looking," but Kelley's opposition had been known for some time. On Sept. 25, Kelley issued a "letter opinion" declaring the write-in votes void. However, this was moredor less an informal statement and held no legal weight. When he issued his formal rul- ing yesterday, he surprised the McCarthy backers since they be- lieved the "lettersopinion" was as far as the attorney general would go. Ross sees Kelley's ruling as preventing "an individual - from voting for whomever he pleases." According to the Constitution, if the political parties don't provide the candidate a voter wants, he can vote for someone else, Ross said. franchised to "hate back" after yeais of humiliation, he also knows the ugliness of the end result. "There has to be some disorder, some violence on the edges. But what do, you do after that? We don't need more excuses for war." Stone. who has disavowed shrill polemics in his carefully docu- menteds critiques of government, does put his faith in the earnest- ness of youth despite his dislike of its harshness. Young people who are willing to look for answers but who were skeptical enough not to be satis- fied with any, are what Stone calls "a stumbling block in the path of man's collective egotism." "I guess it means living on simple faith, learning to take joy and pleasure in an almost hopeless struggle. Almost hopeless, but ulti- mately a struggle that will be One listener asked Stone if his speech was a religious confession. "I'm a religious atheist," laughed Stone, "because I can't believe a beneficent Gol could be respon- sible for a world like this." rStone's fervor, though, did con- tain a strange combination of evangelism and honesty that ap- pealed directly to those who have lost their innocence but not their idealism. "You should believe deeply and you should be willing to put your life on the line for what you be- alieve. But you need to be skeptical, especially or yourself.
