Gift to History Storms - continually buffet the Orkney Isles northeast of Scotland. Ten months ago the prevailing east winds had the 800-year-old cathedral honoring St. Magnus at Kirk- walt, the capital, on the verge of collapse. Inasmuch as the cathedral is regarded as the most - important - Viking monument in Britain, in- terested people felt something had to be done. It has been. An appeal for funds launched by Col. Robert S. Macrae, lord lieutenant of Orkney County, brought in $180,000 in public contributions, $9,000 of it from the United States. Structural repairs made possible by this _ money have strengthened the cathedral enough to raise expectations that it will last 800 more years. While the church nave is now considered safe, repairs to the other parts of the structure are still in order, and so are continued contributions. The Kirkwall cathedral was begun in the year 1137 and completed three centuries later. It is named in honor of Magnus, a Viking earl who was martyred by his fierce compatriots for upholding Cnristian ideals of meekness and piety. The Vikings no longer rule the Orkney's, but many traces of one of the most outstanding evidences a ' commendable appreciation of history. ~ -BUFFALO COURIER EXPRESS N. Viet Says U.S. Aid Renews Risk By United Press International North Vietnam said today the U.S. strengthening. of South Vietnamese armed forces en- dangers any peace agreement because it is in violation of the spirit of the accord, \which should have been signed by now.\ The Viet Cong again appealed for the United States to sign the agreement but said it was ready otherwise to fight on. The North Vietnamese state- ment was broadcast by Radio Hanoi and heard in Saigon. It said the U.S. buildup of Saigon forces \also threatens the breaking of the agreement.\ \This act of war runs counter to the spirit and contents of the complete provisions of the agreement which should have been signed by now,\ the official North Vietnamese radio said. The broadcast came one day after Secretary of State Wil- liam P. Rogers said peace negotiations would resume shortly. 4 Dead In 'Copter SAIGON (UPI)-Four Ameri- can helicopter crewmen were killed and another was wounded in clashes - with Communist troops who shot down three U.S. helicopters Sunday below Da Nang, field reports said. It was the highest American death toll in recent months in direct combat with the Commu- nists. A crash last Tuesday of a CH47 Chinook helicopter in the Mekong Delta took 22 American lives, but U.S. officials have never announced an official cause. A heat-seeking rocket is suspected.

Lansky Quits Israel . TEL AVIV (UPI) -Reputed crime Czar Méyer Lansky slipped quietly out of Israel bound for Zurich late Sunday under threat of expulsion as a danger to the public safety. \We consider the - case closed,\ said Interior Ministry spokesman Yitzhak Agassi. \I can tell you officially that he left...for Zurich. I do not know where he is headed from there.\ Lansky came to Israel in 1970 as a tourist. When the government refused to renew his tourist visa in 1971, he applied for citizenship under the \law of return'\ whereby all Jews become Israelis except those considered threats to public safety. 7 After the Supreme Court upheld the government's con- tention that he was such a threat, Lansky was given a certificate of free passage to go to any country that would take him. His U.S. passport already had been revoked because he is under indictment in the United States on charges of illegal gambling and tax evasion. | On Oct. 27, the Interior Ministry said it had given Lansky two weeks to find somewhere to go or it would set a date for expulsion. He beat the deadline by five days. Local Swissair manager Bruno Reif said Lansky's name did not appear on the passenger list for the Zurich flight, but he said Lansky could have been travel- ing under an assumed name.

McGovern, on the move, rounded out their cam- paigns today with major polls and several leading newspapers forecasting the chief executive will - bury - his Democratic opponent in a landslide Tues- day. . Nixon spent election eve at his home in San Clemente, Calif., taping a - half-hour television statement, punctuat- ed - with film clips, for broadcast this evening. He will vote in California Tuesday morning then return to the White House to await the returns. McGovern arranged to wind up his final day of campaigning at Long Beach, Calif., 60 miles from the Western White House, before returning to Sioux Falls, S.D., where he will remain to follow the returns. The South Dakotan started his final campaign day with a walk along New York's Fifth Avenue, where he and wife Eleanor were jostled by well- wishers. 'He then flew to Philadelphia for a campaign stop enroute to California. In New York, when a reporter showed him a newspa- per headline reading '\Nixon Will Win - By Landslide,\ McGovern responded with a weak smile and asked: \Do you have any other good news for “S? 17 Election - eve - polls, surveys by major newspapers, gave Nixon the biggest margin- going into an election since Lyndon B. Johnson's big lead over Barry Goldwater in 1964. A UPI survey made public during the weekend showed Nixon favored to carry 49 states with 521, electoral votes. The best estimate of UPI political reporters across the nation was that McGovern was sure only of winning the District of Columbia with its three electoral votes. The latest Gallup survey gave the President a 61-35 per cent edge with 3 per cent undecided and the remainder for other parties. The Harris poll was 59- 35 per cent for Nixon with 6 per cent undecided. The Washington Post and New York Times, on the basis of their own surveys, predicted Will Rule on - NYS Aid to Parochials WASHINGTON - (UPI)-The Supreme Court agreed today to decide whether a New York law to provide $28 million of state aid to parochial schools is constitutional. A - three-judge federal panel held last April that it wasn't. New York officials argued in appealing the lower court ruling that the Supreme Court had never ruled on the question of whether a state which \imposes administrative burdens- upon nonpublic schools may also alleviate those burdens by reimbursing the schools for all or a part of the costs\. The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the case later in the term. - The lower court ruled that the law violated the separation of church and state doctrine of the federal Constitution. The New York act would have allocated payments to nonpublic schools to finance acceptance tests, maintenance of attendance records, and other record keeping and exam services. In a 2-1 decision, the panel said it sympathized with \the serious financial problems directly facing the parochial 24 Hrs. a landslide. The Times suggest- ed Nixon would carry at least 486 states. McGovern's best hope for an upset, according to his strate- gists, lay in a big turnout of newly registered voters, parti- cularly those enfranchised by the amendment giving 18-year- olds the vofe. , Weathermen predicted good Election Day weather for most of the nation, with mild temperatures and rain in only about a third of the country. But no great turnout was in prospect for this election year in which voter apathy has been much in evidence. While Nixon was the odds-on favorite to remain in the White House, there appeared little chance his coattails would carry sufficient GOP numbers to overturn Democratic, control of Congress. The Republicans would have to pick up a net gain of six Senate seats and a net increase of 39 to win the House. . - Nixon talked like a winner on a radio broadcast Sunday, in which he appealed to the nation to forget bitter differences that have been highlighted during ~- PRICE 10 CENTS rs the campaign and unite behind the victor. - McGovern continued to hit hard on the antiwar theme be has sounded from the outset of his try for the White House, insisting that the President was misleading the country about prospects for peace in Indochi-- na. f Nixon's gap in the polls was second only to the 28 points by which Johnson led Goldwater on election eve eight years ago. XX LOS ANGELES (UPD) -Pat Nixon, making her final public appearance as a candidate's wife, was visibly shaken Sunday by two protesters who shouted at her: *Save Soviet Jewry, no wheat for Russia.\ ' Mrs. Nixon, who observers say appears to have grown more tense as the campaign goes into its final hours, clutched her stomach and cut short her remarks although the protesters, a man and a woman, were hustled from the hall after a brief scuffle.

Disguised Police Halt Hijacker in TOKYO (UPI)-Japanese po- lice disguised as airport work-. ers today overpowered and subdued a baiding, 47-year-old Japanese who hijacked a domestic airliner and held 126 persons hostage for eight hours at Tokyo International Airport with a demand for $2 million ransom and a flight to Cuba. He told police he was Tatsuji Nakaoka, 47, who left Japan in September, 1971, to reside in the United States. Nakaoka said his wife, Takeko, lives in Los Angeles. ° . Police said Nakaoka, who wore a green rubber mask and yellow gloves, was carrying a .38 caliber pistol, 50 rounds of ammunition and a suitcase containing 33 pounds of nitro- glycerine and 33 pounds of black powder-enough explo-. sives to have obliterated a plane. . P - The daylong drama, watched by millions over television, halted air traffic into . the world's largest city. The hijacker seized a short range Boeing 727 and then demanded an intercontintal DC8 for the flight to Cuba:; It was the transfer that led to his undoing. Police hid aboard the DCS and subdued Nakaoka as darkness . fell over the smog blanketed . airport. to s ' Police said that Nakaoka was carrying a \green card,\ a resident work permit issued by American authorities to foreign: ers living in the United States, and allowing travel in and out of the country. . At first he gave the name of \Henry J. Wong,\ and said he was a Chinese-American from San Francisco. A California driver's license with that name was found in his possession. Nakaoka told police that he used the false name of ''Wong\ to obtain the driver's license, and in turn used the license to buy a gun in the United States to carry out the hijacking. Police said Nakaoka told them his wife was a \citizen of a foreign country,\ Police Have conjectured she might be a Otherwise Nakaoka's back- ground was unclear. Before the hijacking he had been staying at the Okura Hotel, one of the most expensive in | Tokyo, across the street from the American embassy residence. He carried a business card with the name - \Nakaoka Associates Inc.,\ but there was no address on it. | The daylong drama, watched by millions on television, halted air traffic into the world's largest city. Police identified the hijacker .as Henry Wong, whose nationality was not immediately determined. - Wong commandeered the JAL 727 jet over Osaka, forced it to return to Tokyo International Airport and demanded the ransom and a DCB jet for a flight to Cuba with stops in Canada and Mexico. Police said the hijacker told them he had bombs aboard the plane. , \Prepare two million dollars in old U.S. currency,\ the pilot said the hijacker ordered. \Take - me to Cuba via Vancouver and Mexico. Pre- pare a 1308 at Haneda (Tokyo) Police officers concealed themselves inside a gleaming red, white and blue DCB readied for the hijacker before it was towed to within shouting distance of the 727. Negotiators talked to the gunman, who took over the cockpit of the 727, through bullhorns and by radio from the control tower. The hijacker left the 727 after agreeing to the release of the 120 passengers and three stewardesses. The pilot, copilot and navigator remained aboard the 727 until the hijacker left the plane for the DCS . Police hiding in the DCS8 then overwhelmed the man when he entered the waiting DCs. Police said there was only a minor scuffle and that no one was injured. M TORBAY, England The A Chuckle . . .
