Hijacked plane lands with last drops of fuel
TEHRAN (UPI) A hijacked Iranian DC3 with its pilot holding a pistol to his head died at Baghdad International after exhausting fuel. The twin engine aircraft landed at 11 05 a m with 17 aboard after Iraqi authorities reversed a ban on landing. The plane had been circling as the pilot pleaded for permission to land. Authorities had initially refused but relented following a radio plea from Tehran. The DC3 was hijacked during a Dubai Bandar Abbas flight and was surrounded by Iraqi militia troops on landing.

A 21 year old Nazi affiliated hospital orderly Ekkehard Weil confessed to shooting a Soviet sentry at the Soviet War Memorial in West Berlin on Saturday. Police say he hoped to derail the Soviet West German non aggression pact and that others may have helped. Weil faced possible links to an underground extremist group opposing West German policy toward the Soviet bloc. He was arrested within 24 hours after the 1 10 am incident near the Brandenburg Gate in Tiergarten Park.

Hesse Vote Gives Brandt Boost In Cabinet Push
In Hesse the Social Democrats led with 45.9 percent, the Christian Democrats 39.7 percent, and the Free Democrats 10.1 percent. A stronger FD vote would have risked Brandt's majority, but the result preserves it while signaling support for his foreign policy amid a push to negotiate with Poland. The election also trimmed extremist parties with the National Democrats falling and the Communists at 1.2 percent.
