Charles Chaplin feared being shot during his four day stay in Los Angeles to accept a Special Oscar. Private guard Jit Jordan, former LAPD lieutenant, said threats intensified in LA with about a dozen anonymous calls predicting his death mainly by phone. Security was the tightest ever arranged for a Oscar winner amid protests over his political views.

FAA orders wiring fix to curb 727 hijack bailouts
The FAA will require over 600 Boeing 727s to be rewired to block rear exit parachuting after a $303,000 Eastern hijacking. FAA chief John Shaffer said the change is quick and essential to stop extortion plots. Eastern Airlines and United Airlines had already begun evaluating rewiring plans as the probe continues.

A Honduran detachment searches a forested Yoro region for a well-equipped hijacker who parachuted from an Eastern Airlines jet with 303000 in ransom.
