Alvares and fellow returnees. Many happy
members of the Spanish words
means have a good trip.
Five of the eight civilians released Monday by the Viet Cong in Linh Nghia also were on the second flight. They were the eleven civilian POWs to be returned home.
Among them was State Department specialist Douglas Ramsey, who has been held by the Viet Cong since Jan. 5, 1968. A sixth catholic was to return on the third of the day.
The 20 released military prisoners on Thursday's first flight to Travis included some men apparently requiring continued medical care.
All but three of the men were in uniform as they stepped off a blue hospital bus to walk across a red carpet for salutes and to shake hands with the commander of the 13th Air Force, Lt. Gen. William G. Moore, before boarding the aircraft.
Three of the men, all Army returnees from prison camps in South Vietnam, were taken to Germany.
Operation Homecoming officials announced the names of returned American prisoners of war departing today for the United States in three planes.
The first plane was scheduled to leave
airport at 13:48 flight to Travis Air

U.S., Cuba Complete Hijacking Agreement
WASHINGTON (AP)—The United States and Cuba signed an agreement Thursday to restart diplomatic relations.
But the five-year agreement, which was signed separately in Washington and Havana, retained the traditional American policy of sheltering political refugees.
News Briefs By the Associated Press Airport Security
WASHINGTON - A three-judge federal panel Thursday refused to stay new airport security regulations, and the rules requiring armed police at boarding gates go through a process of review today. Beginning today airports are to station police officers at all points where passengers are being screened and having their luggage inspected before boarding. A Transportation Department administration said the vast majority of airports assured that they would comply.
Environment
WASHINGTON—President Nixon proposed Thursday new legislation to permit establishment of protected wilderness areas in the eastern states, set federal safety standards for drinking water and regulate commercial fishing off U.S. waters, and established a mandate that the President's 1875 message to Congress on environment and resources, which, for the most part, urged Congressional action on bills previously proposed.
Death Penalty
TOPEKA—A hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee on bills which would restore the death penalty for certain "super" felony murders will resume at 11 a.m. Friday. Atty. Glen, Vern Miller, who drafted a bill before the committee which imposed a temporary mandatory upon conviction for 14 types of murder was among four witnesses Thursday who supported retention of the death penalty in Kansas.
Because it was an executive agreement and not a treaty, the document did not require Senate ratification and went into effect immediately.
Secretary of State William P. Rogers, who signed the agreement for the United States, said it served notice to hijackers in Mexico and is safe haven in the United States or Cuba.
The agreement, signed simultaneously by Rogers in his office here and Cuban Foreign Minister Raul Roa I in Havana, defines a hijacker as "any person who after她 seizes, removes, appropriates or diverts a craft or vessel registered under the laws of one of the parties and brings it to the territory of the other party."
Such a person, the agreement provides,
"shall either be returned to the party of
registry, . . . to be tried by the courts of that
party in conformity with its laws or be
brought before the courts of the party whose
territory was reached for trial."
Rogers told reporters later, "I expect there will be more prosecutions than extraditions," indicating that hijackers could to serve their sentences in foreign prisons.
Both countries pledged to try blackjackers under existing laws providing "the most severe penalty according to the circumstances and the seriousness of the acts."
One possible loophole was closed by a clause stating that extradition is mandatory if the hijacker has not broken the laws of the nation to which he fled.
Regarding political asylum, the agreement says a nation receiving a refugee "may take into consideration any extinating or mitigating circumstances in those cases in which the persons responsible for the acts were being sought for strictly criminal purposes" and the minion danger of death without a viable alternative for leaving the country."
This does not apply, however, if the refugee extorted money or threatened to harm "the members of the crew, the crewers or their persons in connection with the hijacking."
When asked whether the tight restrictions defining a political refugee had limited the right to grant political asylum, U.S. officials said they had not because the country such a person would determine whether the conditions required the refugee to flee.

Maj. Gen Daniel James told newsmen that American pilots had flown about 100 more daily strikes this week than they did last week "because of increased enemy activity and further requests for assistance by the Royal Laotian government."
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Pentagon disclosed Thursday that U.S. bombers had intensified strikes against Communist forces trying to drive Laotian government troops out of key positions before an expected cease-fire.
U.S. Intensifies Bombing in Laos
The escalation means that U.S. tactical fighter-bombers and B 52 heavy bombers are flying an average of 300 sorties a day to keep them in battle. In Latra, a aircraft is one flight by one plane.
James, a ranking Pentagon spokesman, also acknowledged that U.S. planes had continued ranging over Cambodia in support of hard-pressed government troops and Cambodian operations as being "at a very low level" but still tens of sorties a day.

James voiced the hope and expectation expressed by many U.S. officials that a cease-fire agreement would be achieved in Laos.
He said nothing about a cease-fire in Cambodia, where a unilateral halt in the fighting announced by the government at the end of the war was ignored by Cambodian insurgents and
James refused to go into any detail on targets being struck, but it is known that U.S. war planes based primarily in nearby Thailand have been flying in support of Royal Lao regulars and CIA-backed mountain tribesmen try to stem Communist thrusts in several important regions.
