Arab commandos yesterday seized a British jetliner with 113 persons aboard and raised their ,total bag of hostages to more than 300. But they put off indefinitely a deadline for blowing up two airliners hi- jacked earlier. The deadline was to have ex- pired at 10 p.m. EDT yesterday for the release of seven guerrillas held in Britain, Switzerland and West Germany. The United States nas promised meanwhile to sell Israel 18 more F4E Phantom fighter-bombers as part of its commitment to main- tain the military balance of power in the Mideast, administration sources confirmed yesterday. Deliveries of the first supersonic planes, each capable of carrying more than 15,000 ppunds of bombs and missiles, is expected to begin later this month with completion of the deal by the end of the year, sources said. In New York, the United Na- tions Security Council met in ur- gent session last night and ap- pealed, without dissent, for the hijacked captives' freedom. At the 12-minute meeting, re- quested by the United States and Britain, the council expresed grave concern "at the threat to innocent lives." A resolution passed without formal vote asked the release of all passengers and crew without exception andcalled on all nations to take legal steps to avert future hijackings or any other interfer- ence with international air travel. Rochat, acting as intermediary between the Palestinian extremists and Western governments, .was trapped in Amman by street fight- ing last night but secured the postponement in telephone talks with the guerrillas. He reported to the Red Cross in Switzerland that the commandos had agreed to delay any action until he could meet with them.

BEDL member Charles Thomas Jr. entered=the Christian Science Reading Room yesterday morning and was later joined by other wel- fare group members. The group announced that at least one mem- ber would spend the night in the I reading room. The plan for reparation funds would have to be presented to the congregation as a whole, a Chris- tian Science board member ex- plained. The congregation is gov- erned by an elected board that meets monthly. The board met meeting were available as of early this morning. Also yesterday morning, BEDL member Henry Bryan and WRO member Elmira Collins entered Beth Israel Templeswhich shares the same location as the Univer- sity B'nai Brith Hillel Foundation. Bryan met with Prof. Henry Gershowitz, president of the con- gregation, who called a board meeting last night. Meeting re- sults were also unavailable early this morning. Gershowitz and board members had no comment on progress of the meeting, but Gershowitz said he would make a statement some- time today. Representatives of BEDL and WRO planned on spending the night in the Temple pending re- sults of the board meeting. The welfare groups, who have visited eight churches in the last three weeks, were given $5,000 by the First Unitarian Church last Saturday. The Unitarian Church's action came after a coalition of ten other churches obtained an in- junction barring the groups from theirhpremises. The Unitarian Church has refused to join the coalitions action. A show-cause hearing, where WRO and BEDL are to show cause why the temporary injunc- tion barring them from the ten churches shoul not become per- manent, is to be held at 9 a.m. to- morrow.

"The moratorium will enable us to bring new layers of people into the movement, and thereby broad- en the base of power," Lafferty said. He spoke of efforts to es- pecially increase the participation of Mexican-Americans and other third-world people. The 'meeting further discussed University participation in- the anti-war movement. SMC president David Ruhland proposed specific attacks on "cam- pus manifestations of the war ma- chine." He 'labeled ROTC and military research on campus as potential targets. The efficacy of annual mass protests was challenged. "We've been demonstrating for years, and still the war continues, ,o many Americans are beginning to doubt if demonstrations really work," Lafferty responded.

"My own personal opinion is that there is a need for someone in the OSO to be concerned with women's groups, either as a primary responsibility or as one of their responsibilities," Knauss says.
