! Airman Fails In Attempt
To Seize South Korean
Plane, Kills Radioman
SEOUL, Korea, (#} — A Korean
Airman tried to seize a South.
Korean Air Force plane in flight
Thursday and force it to fly to
Red North Korea.
The plane’s radioman was shot
and killed and the pilot and en
gineer seriously wounded before
the interloper was subdued.
The co-pilot took over the con
trols of the C46 and landed it
in South Korea at Pyongtaik,
40 miles south of Seoul.
The would be hijacker, who
apparently was not hurt, was
arrested.
It was the second such incident
in two months. On Feb. 16
North Koreans forced the two
American pilots of-a South Ko
rean civilian airliner to fly in
to North Korea. Later the Com
munists released the two Amer
icans and 24 of the 32 others
aboard but are still holding the
plane and its cargo.
Air Force officials identified
the captain who tried to take over
the plane Thursday only as Choi.
They said he was about 30 years
old and a native of North Pyong
yang Province, north of the Com
munist Korean capital.
There appeared to be some be
lief that Choi was not necessarily
a Communist agent but just
wanted to return to his birth- j
place.
The would-be hijacker was
armed with a .45 caliber revol
ver.

Who’s Cuckoo?
LONDON, tP) — Bird fancier
F. W. Hornsby made an embar
rassed confession in the staid col
umns of the Times Thursday—he
got fooled by a cuckoo clock.
Humbly he withdrew a claim j
to have heard a cuckoo’s cry on
March 31—an almost certain
winner in the unofficial race
among Britain’s birdwatchers to
be first each spring to record the
notes.
Cuckoos fly in usually about
the middle of April after win
tering in Africa or India. Horns
by’s claim was made in a letter
to the Times April 1. Today,
he set the record straight: “The
even repetition of the cuckoo
call aroused suspicion and on in
vestigation I find that a distant
neighbor has a cuckoo clock
whose utterances are unreliable.
I apologize most profoundly for
any flutterings I may have caused
in the ornithological field.”
Air line hostesses have a high
time.
Nations Favoring
12-Mile Limit Face
Loss of U. S. Aid
SEATTLE, UP) — Rep. Tom
Pelly (R-Wash) warned Wed
nesday that Congressmen from
areas where fishing is a major
industry may band together to
oppose further U. S. appropria
tions to the United Nations if
other nations try to take historic
fishing grounds away from the
United States.
Pelly, chairipan of a Congres
sional protest committee on at
tempts to establish a 12-mile
limit on territorial waters for
fisheries, issued the warning at
a mass meeting of fishermen here.
The Washington Republican al
so said he would favor a ban on
fish imports from any nation
which takes over American fish
ing grounds if the 12-mile rule
is adopted by the International
Conference on Law of the Sea at
Geneva, Switzerland.
Pelly and three othey Wash
ington Congressmen, Sens. Jack
son (D-Wash) and Magnuson (D
Wash) and Rep. Tollefson (R
Wash) all - pledged their support
to fishermen in attempts to en
force the rights of American
fishermen to fish on historic
fishing grounds, wherever they
may be.
Canada, Mexico- and South
American nations are leading the
drive at Geneva for extension of
the present three-mile territorial
limit to 12 miles.
Pelly said American military
leaders are willing to accept the
12-mile limit on fisheries if Mex
ico, Canada and the South Amer
ican nations will agree to a three
mile limit as it concerns shipping.
W. C. Arnold of the Alaska
Salmon Industry Inc. said mil
itary officials in the Pentagon
are dead serious about holding
the line on the three-mile limit
for their ships, even if they
must compromise on the fisheries
limit to do it.
Jackson, a member of the Sen
ate Armed Services Committee,
said it was pure fiction that mili- ’
tary security was at stake.
Fishermen claim the U. S. fish
ing industry could be crippled if
the 12-mile fisheries limit is ac
cepted without protection of his
toric fishing rights.
“I guarantee you,” Magnuson
told the fishermen, “that if we
come out with this deal, which is
trading a horse for a rabbit, that
the U. S. Senate is going to hear
some speeches on our interna
tional relations like it hasn’t
heard in a long time.”
Just ahead may be the Atomo
bile.
