Life Prison Term
By the Associated Press

The Senate Aviation Sub
committee today approved
unanimously a bill to make
airplane hijacking punishable
by a mandatory life prison
sentence.
The subc ON mittee was
Spurred by the hijacking last
Thursday of a Continental Air
lines Jet over Ell Paso, Tex, by
two guninen who tried to force
the pilot to fly them to Cuba.
Senator Monroney, Democrat
OF Oklahoma. the subcommittee
chairman. said the group would
seek a vote tomorrow by its
parent body, the Senate Com
merce Committee.
With the Kennedy admins
tration urging prompt action,
a House Commerce subcom-
mittee. headed by Representa-
tive Williams, Democrat of
Mississippi, was starting hear
ings on similar legislation.
Equal to Piracy
The Senate bill, sponsored
by Senator Engle, Democrat of
California, is designed to make
hijacking Of aircraft the legal
equivalent of piracy on the
high seas, and provide Federal
jurisdiction over other crimes
in the sky.
One action makes murder
manslaughter. assaults, rob-
berry, rape and other violent
crimes committed on board
aircraft in flight offenses un-
der Federal law,
Another section provides for
a $4,000 fine or Imprisonment
for 20 years, or both, for any
one who assaults, intimidates,
threatens or interferes with
crew members while an air
plane is in flight.
If a deadly or dangerous
weapon is used, the minimum
penalty would be 20 years in
jail, and a person could be
imprisoned for life.
In addition. the bill, as re-
vised by the subcommittee,
provides that any passenger
who takes a concealed weapon
aboard an airplane shall be
imprisoned for UP to five years
or fined up to $4,000, or both.
No Action on Search Bill
The subcommittee referred
to the full committee, without
recommendation, a provision In
a separate bill by Senator
Bridges, Republican of New
Hampshire, under which an
airline. might. under regula-
tions prescribed by the Gov
erAment, require a person
seeking to board a plane to
submit to "a reasonable search"
to determine If he is carrying a
concealed weapon.
Also referred to the full
committee without action was
