Lone hijacker arrested GENEVA (AP) — Swiss security men disguised as airport staff today arrested a lone hijacker who command- eered an Air France plane carrying 68 people on a Frankfurt-to-Paris flight and forced it to land in Geneva. All passengers and crew were freed unharmed, police said. The drama ended some five hours after it began. he pulpa unions cannot expect more On March 2 the Canadian Paperworkers’ Union and the Pulp, Paper and.Woodworkers of Canada broke off talks for a new contract that would end the current labour dispute and provide long-term job stability for men and women in the industry. The industry proposed a three-year agreement to the unions to assure our customers that we are reliable suppliers over the longer term. The industry also asked for relief from cost increases in the first year to pay off debt so we can compete more effectively in world markets. A new agreement must be negotiated. The sooner the better. The losses of the companies over the last two years which have resulted iN massive unemployment neéd to be reversed...and quickly. The companies must win long-term export sales contracts that will help B.C. recover from the recession and provide stability for this troubled industry. The industry negotiates with three major unions. It must treat all its employees fairly and equitably. The three-year term and wage increases of four per cent in June, 1984 and four and one-half per cent in June, 1985, are all the industry can do. To give the two pulp unions more would just create chaos in the industry when what is required is labour peace. Other issues which have not been settled are still negotiable when the pulp unions return to the bargaining table ready to talk about an agreement that will put thousands of B.C. people back to work. The sooner the unions resume bargaining, the sooner the current labour strife will be resolved. PULP AND PAPER INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS BUREAU Representing 14 companies, operating 20 pulp and paper mills, in contract negotiations with the Canadian Paperworkers’ Union and Pulp, Paper and Woodworkers of Canada Geneva police spokesman Marcel Voudroz said the hi- jacker was arrested by dis- guised security men who were allowed to board the plane with food for the passengers. “He was arrested in the cockpit without a struggle,” Voudroz said. He added that the man had no firearm but that a knife was found in his airplane bag which he ap- pareritly had claimed to con- tain a bomb. The hijacker, who spoke Arabic and several other lan- guages, had demanded that the plane be refuelled to go to Libya. Swiss officials said he is about 30 years old. He was not immediately identified. FREED EARLIER Fifty-four passengers and six crew members aboard the Boeing 737 jetliner were freed unharmed at 1:30 p.m. local time (7:30 a.m. EDT),. Swiss Justice Ministry spokesman Ulrich Hubacher said Seven other passengers, — six women and one sick man —had been freed earlier: Geneva's chief of protocol, Robert Vieux, told reporters ta the Geneva airport that police negotiated with the man, whose nationality was unknown, through the pilot. The plane was refuelled at midday on orders of Geneva authorities. French officials in Paris said West German, French, British and Swiss were among the freed passengers. There were no reports of Canadians being aboard. Two women passengers, speaking to reporters after they were freed, said they did not see any weapons on the plane and did not hear the hijacker speak. They said they saw one man, presum- ably the hijacker, walk into the cockpit. ‘The plane had left West German airspace when the hijacker took control and for- ced the pilot to land at Gen- ace officials said. The plane was "parked on the airport tarmac some dis- tance from the terminals while Swiss authorities con- the hijacker’s de- mand for enough fuel to take the plane to Tripoli, Libya. No security forces were visi- ble around the aircraft. Air France said the plane has a range of 1,900 kilo metres, meaning it could reach Libya — about 1,545 kilometres from Geneva — Wussow, a spokesman for Rhein-Main International Airport, said Air France Flight 741 departed at 8:04 am. (2:04 am. EST). it landed in Geneva aobut an hour later. One of the women released from the plane, a West Ger- man who declined to give her name, described the man as thin, about 30 years old, with short black hair and a mix- ture of European and Arabic features. Another passenger, Inger Dahlin, a 45-year-old Swedish civil servant, said she became aware of the hijacking after the pilot announced that the plane “had to make a small detour.” She asked a crew member whether there was a techni- cal problem and was told: “No, we have been hijacked.” “There was no panic among the passengers," Dahlin said. “Everyone behaved nor- mally. The crew of the Air France plane was very nice, saying ‘Don't worry.’ ” Judge denies bail to Cranbrook trio CRANBROOK (CP) — \ree people accused in the death of 13-month-old Deidre Windsong Bohnenkamp were denied ball in provincial court Monday. The child’s parents, Linda and Corey Bohnenkamp, and Corey Soper, the mother's boyfriend, appeared before Judge David J. Lunn and were remanded in custody. All three are charged with manslaughter and criminal negligence causing death. In addition, the boyfriend has been accused of nine counts of assault dating back to August 1983. Each has been charged separately. A jsiapepentd hearing is set for May 30. A ban on tents of the pi i has been imposed by the rie. DISPUTE continued from front page t provincial government's restraint program. Kramer said the general strike proposal will be discussed Thursday “if we can get all our people together by then.” Kramer said he views Munro's general strike call as a strategic tactic to pressure the companies to settle with the pulp unions. “I am sure he is not expecting a general strike but he wants to remind industry and the government that we could,” Munro's general shutdown proposal was made known in letters Monday to Art Gruntman, regional vice-president of the Canadian Paperworkers Union, Jim Sloan, president of the Pulp, Paper and Woodworkers of Canada, and federation president Art Kube. Kube was not available for comment Tuesday, but Kramer said he has seen the letter. | TOMMY BILN of Pharmasave has pale been a great believer in the value of advertising, and now be's surer than ever, In last ’s Casth News he an “expansion sale.” The same words were also used in his radio advertising.
