London: Leila Khaled
The British government Wednesday freed Leila Khaled, the woman guerrilla who tried to hijack an Israeli airliner, and flew her to West Germany en route to Cairo. Great Britain said West Germany and Switzerland were also releasing six other Arab commandos held for attacks on airliners to fulfill their part of the bargain for the safe release of all hostages aboard three jetliners hijacked to Jordan. Miss Khaled, 24, was captured when she and an American tried to hijack an El Al Israel airlines Boeing 707 Sept. 6.
United Nations: Big Four
Prospects for a meeting of the Big Four heads of state at a 25th anniversary commemorative session of the General Assembly diminished as the likelihood of Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin's attendance at the meeting dimmed. Of the Big Four, only British Prime Minister Edward Heath has announced his intention of attending the commemorative session scheduled for Oct. 14-24.
Kansas: Frizzell
TOPEKA—Attorney General Kent Frizzell, Republican candidate for governor, said he didn't support lowering the voting age to 18. Frizzell said in a news conference that he thought the maturity level of the 18 to 20 year old group was "not sufficient enough to exercise an enlightened vote." He also said he favored raising the draft age to 21. The candidate said the new federal law to lower the voting age would probably be overturned in the court.
New York City: Fraud Art
A Manhattan gallery began to sell the works of "master art forger" David Stein on the basis of a ruling by state Supreme Court judge Arnold L. Fein. Fein ruled that "however fraudulent or criminal his past transgressions, they cannot militate against Stein's right as an artist to sell his own works, acknowledged as such." He rejected the argument of the state attorney general that Stein's name could easily be removed and his imitations of Picasso, Matisse, Chagall, Braque and Miro be resold as originals.

Five out of the last six hijack hostages released by Palestinian guerrillas flew into New York Wednesday night from Jordan with kind words for their captors, and in turn three European countries released seven Arab commandos from prison and flew them to Cairo.
Los Angeles: Brush Fire
Edward Everett Horton, who personified the little man at his wits end in movies, television and theater, died Tuesday of cancer, his family announced. The comedian-actor was 84 years old. Horton's double takes, fluttering hands and stuttering delivery became his trademarks. Among his best remembered films were "Springtime in the Rockies," "The Gay Divorcee," "Lost Horizon" and "Top Hat."
Abraham Harari-Raful said the six were held in the Jordanian town of Irbid, 54 miles north of Amman, a guerrilla stronghold in the Jordanian Civil War, after they were taken off their plane. He was asked if they believed their lives were in danger from their captors.
The sixth Western hostage flew to Berlin.
SALT LAKE CITY—Vice President Spiro T. Agnew called for election of a Congress that "will see to it that the wave of permissiveness, the wave of pornography and the wave of pollution never becomes the wave of the future in our country." The vice president, campaigning through the Northern Plains and Rocky Mountain West, also charged that Republican Sen. Charles E. Goodell of New York had "left his party and was part of "an awful liberal-radical coalition."
Hollywood: Edward Horton
guerillas were loaded aboard. The group of hostages which arrived in New York Wednesday night were all American citizens. They flew from the Jordanian capital of Amman to Nicosia, Cyprus, on a chartered Middle East Airlines plane.
Utah: Agnew
After a 50-minute layover they took off again on another chartered plane for Athens, Greece, where five of them transferred to a New York-bound non-stop Trans World Airlines flight.

The most destructive series of autumn brush fires in California history was nearly contained, ending a six-day seige in the parched canyons and foothills of the state. Officials were optimistic that full containment of the 185,000-acre blaze would be achieved by sundown Wednesday. Ten persons died in incidents related to the more than 60 fires which erupted in the state. Five of those died in the crash of a fire fighting helicopter.

guerrillas were loaded aboard.
Black Panther defendant Afeni Shakur, free on $100,000 bail, was remanded to jail on a charge of contempt of court. Presiding Justice John M. Murtagh directed that Mrs. Shakur be locked up in the Women's House of Detention for the remainder of her trial after she twice arrived late at court. Mrs. Shakur, one of 13 Black Panthers accused of attempted murder and conspiracy to bomb public places, was 40 minutes late in arriving at court Wednesday morning.
"First of all, we call them commandos and not guerrillas," he said, "and they treated us very well. We had the same food as they had and drank the same things they drank.
New York City: Balloonists
The search for three missing balloonists, given up as hopeless last week, was resumed, presumably because of pressure brought by a powerful Kentucky political figure. Missing are New York commodities broker Rodney Anderson, his actress wife Pamela Brown and their British navigator, Malcolm Brighton. Miss Brown's father, former Rep. John Young Brown of Kentucky, spurred the five-day search last week and is believed to have received the help of Sen. Marlow Cook, R-Ky., in persuading the Coast Guard to renew its efforts.
Harari-Raful was asked how the guerrillas treated them.
