MIAMI (AP) - Two men waving
Molotov cocktails with burning
wicks hijacked a Chicago-to-Miami
jet carrying 180 passengers and 12
crew members yesterday, forcing
the pilot to fly them to Cuba, officials
said. Six other passengers got off the
plane voluntarily."
It was the first hijacking of a U.S.
jetliner to Cuba since last Sept. 17.
There were no injuries in the in-
cident, and both suspected hijackers
were . arrested when the plane
reached Cuba, officials said.
FBI AGENT Jim Freeman said
one of the men, waving a baby bottle
filled with a flammable liquid and a
lighted wick, barged into the cockpit
to order the plane to Havana. The
agent-said the other man, carrying
two more "Molotov cocktails" with
lighted wicks, stayed in the first-
class section.
Freeman said two women and four
girls got off the plane voluntarily.
William Nettles, assistant special
agent in charge of the Miami FBI of-
fice, said the suspected hijackers
were apparently Cuban, and added
that the six women apparently were
relatives.
The Eastern Airlines L-1011 jet
landed safely at Havana's Jose Mar-
ti Airport at 1:08 p.m. EDT, and the
two men were arrested by Cuban
security forces, said Federal
Aviation Administration spokesman
Jack Barker in Atlanta.
THE SIX OTHER people volun-
tarily left the jet at the same time,
Barker said.
Other passengers were allowed to
shop in souvenir stores before the
refueled jet took off for Miami In-
ternational Airport, where it arrived
at 6 p.m., officials said.
Among the passengers were two
members of the Jamaican cabinet,
Minister of the State Tony Johnson
and Minister of Trade and Commer-
ce Douglas Vaz.
THE MAN who ran into the
passenger cabin said, "Everything
is OK. Everything- is OK. We're
going to Cuba," said returned
passenger Dorothy Ash of North-
field, Ill.
Ms. Ash said the suspected
hijackers, and the two women and
four girls ranging in age from
preschool to teen-agers, shook hands
and waved to officials who met them
outside the plane.
Their identities were not im-
mediately available, but Freeman
described the men as being in their
late 20s or early 30s.
From AP and UPI
SAN JOSE, Calif.-Threatened with a
federal , quarantine on dozens of
California crops, Gov. Edmund Brown
yesterday ordered aerial pesticide
spraying to combat a persistent, poten-
tially catastrophic infestation of
Mediterranean fruit flies.
Brown's decision, which represented
an about-face for him, was greeted with
relief by growers and agriculture of-
ficials but bitterness by residents
worried about how the chemical
malthion could affect them.
BROWN, WHO had opposed aerial
spraying in favor of a massive ground
attack because of possible health
hazards to a half million residents, said
an ultimatum by the Agriculture
Department left him no choice in the
year-long $22 million war against the
insect.
The first of six aerial assaults will
begin sometime early Tuesday over the
Palo Alto area, where Stanford Univer-
sity is located, Brown said in
Sacramento. He said the exact time for
beginning tne spraying had not been
set.
THE ENTIRE 630-square-mile area
now under state quarantine-Santa
Clara, San Mateo, and Alameda coun-
ties south and east of San Fran-
cisco-would be sprayed in a week, ac-
cording to Jerry Scribner, head of the
medfly eradication project. Subsequent
sprayings will take two days each, he
added.
Brown warned that the area to be
sprayed might have to be expanded to
800 square miles.
In the meantime, backyard stripping
in residential areas and highway
checks of motorists leaving the quaran-
tine area would continue. The area is
partly rural and partly residential, and
includes some commercial orchards.
