After the Hijacking The four hijackers arrived in Italy, according to the Reagan Administration and Congressional sources. They said that an Egyptian plane carrying the hijackers of an Italian cruise ship had been intercepted by United States Navy planes and forced to land at a United States-NATO air base in Sicily. [Page A1, Columns 1-6.] The four Palestinian hijackers had not intended to seize the cruise liner but did so in desperation after the crew uncovered their weapons, according to Israeli and Arab sources. They said the four had boarded the Achille Lauro for the purpose of getting into Israel at Ashdod, the next port-of-call. [A1:3-4.] Passengers from the Achille Lauro were quoted as describing how the hijackers had dragged an elderly American tourist from his wheelchair and fatally shot him in cold blood. The Italian Ambassador, Giovanni Migliudo, put together his account of the killing of Leon Klinghoffer, a 69-year-old resident of Manhattan, after six hours of interviews with some of the former hostages. [A1:4-6.] International A Salvadoran leftist unit killed at least 40 soldiers and wounded 68 in a lightning raid before dawn at the main training base for Government recruits. [A3:1-3.] National Pentagon arms policy is inadequate, according to a Presidential commission that is preparing to recommend a major overhaul. David R. Packard, who was named chairman of the commission in June, said the panel had concluded that fundamental changes should be made in the Defense Department's organization to correct weapons problems involving poor quality, high prices and long delays in purchasing.

The reporters who cover Vice President Bush know that when they fly with him, they can't all have window seats. But when they learned that for Mr. Bush's trip to China most of them would be sitting in a converted cargo plane with no windows at all, well, that was a bit much, and there was whining.
