HOUSE PLANS TO CONFIRM ROCKY AS VEEP

(AP)-The House plans to complete confirmation of Nel- son A. Rockefeller as Vice President this week as the 93rd Congress drives to end its two-year term. A massive Trade Bill, a package of measures to help the unemployed and the year's final four appropriations bills remain on the legislative calendar. Contro - versies over school busing and aid to Turkey are among AAz4IA&Aissues that could stall the plan for adjournment by Friday or 0 Saturday. Even before the House action on Rockefeller, expected either Thursday or Friday, plans are under way for the quick swearing-in of the 66-year-old former New York govenor as the nation's 41st Vice President.

THE NEW YORKER - A VERY REAL LIFE LINE TO THE GUANTANAMO COMMUNITY G By J03 Bernie Duffy

Guantanamo Bay is a self contained community, self sufficient in many ways. We produce enough water and electricity to meet the demands of a small city, and the base offers a wide variety of recreation and or- ganizations for the residents. However self contained the Gitmo community is, few people realize the extent to which we depend upon the "'carriers" that supply the base with everything from toothpaste to gaso- line. For example, every 11 days, most of the merchandise received by the Exchange and Commissary is brought to Gitmo by the New Yorker, a 360 foot long freighter carrying 66 trailers packed with every imagin- able item used or sold on the base. Each container weighs on the average between 12 and 15 tons. "Every shipment we receive be- tween 30,000 and 40,000 pounds of fresh chilled beef, pork, lamb and poultry," says Lt. Keith Kramer, Commissary officer. "We supply the clubs, Child Day Care Center and the non-U.S. food and availability, about 1,300 cases Norfolk, and the Exchange, using facility that caters to Jamaican of fruits and produced are received the Naval Supply Center, receives 01 and Cuban residents." a month." its consignments after a three-day Fresh meat, produce and dry goods About 95 per cent of the vy Ex- voyage from Portsmouth, Va., the are received by the Commissary and change's supplies are also :saipped New Yorker's home port. either put on sale immediately if in on the New Yorker, and according The New Yorker and her 23-man supplies are low, or stocked in the to LCdr.

HIJACKER HELD IN CUSTODY OF CUBAN AUTHORITIES

TAMPA, Fla. (AP)--A lone gunman who forced a twin-engine aircraft to fly to Cuba was in custody of Cuban authorities yesterday while American officials negotiated for the return of the pilot, officials said. The charter plane was hijacked from Tampa late Saturday in what authorities said was the first suc- cessful hijacking of an American craft to Cuba since 1972. The pilot, Frank Haigney, 30, was in good condition and officials of the State Department were working through the Swiss Embassy for his return, James A. Chesson Jr., owner of the Tampa Flying Service, said. "We are just waiting now to find out how much money we will need to pay before they will allow our pi- lot to fly out," Chesson said. He said he had been informed that the Cuban government normally charged a landing and refueling fee payable before the aircraft was allowed to leave and that the plane's departure could be delayed until today. Authorities in Tampa said the hi- jacker, using the name Robin Harri- son, had called the flying service earlier Saturday to charter a plane to fly to Naples.
