"Police quoted Dygas as saying he hadL planned to hijack a plane flying from Hungary to Yugoslavia in 1979, but was arrested before he could carry out the operation and was placed under a 5-year foreign travel ban. Despite a Polish request for his extradi- tion, Dygas was handed over to West German authorities for prosecution. He faces a minimum five-year prison sentence if convicted. The plane, hijacked on a flight from Wroclaw to Warsaw, returned to Poland about six hours, later. Two passengers, both men aged 19 and 22, asked for political asylum and were allowed to re main in the West. Polish television said Dygas smuggled the World War II grenade on board in a transistor radio.

Hinckley Jr., accused of trying to assassinate President Ronald Reagan, are asking a federal court to stop prison guards from reading Hinckley's personal papers during routine searches of his cell. . The request, filed with U.S. District Court here this week, indicated that Hinckley's lawyers may be worried about the guards reading something that would tip off the government to aspects of Hinckley's legal defense strategy. Convicted spy Boyce arrested Friday after two Year esca&e from Cam The Associated Press ' . SEATTLE Convicted spy Christopher Boyce, who escaped from the Lompoc, Calif, federal prison nearly two years ago, was arrested Friday night at a restaurant, U.S. marshals said. Marshals apprehended Boyce at the Pit Stop Restaurant in Port Angeles at 8:40 p.m. PDT with the aid of FBI agents and the Clallam County sheriffs office, said deputy marshal Jack Tait. Boyce, 28, was serving a 40-year sen tence for selling classified documents to the Soviets when he scaled the fence at Lompoc Correctional Institution Jan, 21, 1980 and disappeared into the rugged backcountry. . 1 Investigators admitted being stymied as ' to how the son of a former FBI agent made his successful escape. An experi enced falconer with intimate knowledge of the wild, Boyce became the object of an intense international search. Authorities have had reports that he" turned up in Africa, Alaska, and Mexico, where his boyhood friend, Andrew Daulton Lee, had made the Soviet, con tacts to deliver the classified materials Boyce took. In Washington, William Hall, director of the U.S. marshal's service, confirmed Boyce's arrest. Hall said a task force of deputy mar shals, FBI agents and Border Patrol offi- -cers had the area under surveillance for more than two weeks. Boyce was taken to Seattle for further proceedings, he said. FBI Director William Webster said the arrest followed "a sustained cooperative effort by several agencies." Boyce was convicted in 1977 of selling Public service announcements must be turned into the box outside DTH offices in the Carolina Union by noon if they are to run the next day.

It was at Butner, the lawyers said, that Hinckley discovered guards were reading his personal papers during twice-daily searches of his cell while the prisoner ' was , absent. They said the readings were an unreasonable violation of Hinckley's right of privacy, and that they had no reason to expect the searches JL . t highly classified information dealing with U.S. satellite surveillance systems from the TRW Inc. plant in Redondp Beach, Calif, where he was employed from mid 1974 until 1976 as a security clerk.

Boyce, of Palos Verdes irt the Los Angeles area, maintained occasional tele phone contact with New York Times re porter Robert Lindsey, who interviewed ' him in prison and wrote a book about the spy caper entitled "The Falcon and the' Snowman." He reportedly told Lindsey in one 1980 telephone conversation that he had pat terned his flight on the movie "Escape from Alcatraz," which he had seen in prison. He said he had made a paper mache dummy and left it in his bed to deceive guards and told Lindsey he crawled over two 10-foot high fences to escape. After 19 months on the run, Boyce spent the weekend in a federal jail cell, awaiting an appearance today before a U.S. magistrate in Seattle. "He was a very surprised young man," said Robert Christman, chief deputy for the U.S. Marshals Service in Seattle. "He had just come back from jogging.

' DATIM HID 3ji mm 3-rar;wraioi 'Imhijnic- on) zTN j2SJ(S suit to stop at Quantico. The defense lawyers said the govern ment claimed the searches were intended to prevent Hinckley from committing "self-destructive acts," but was hard pressed to show how reading Hinckley's personal papers would reduce the pos sibility of "a further attempt at suicide." "Mr. Hinckley's interest in main taining the privacy of his personal pa pers is, if anything, even more com . pelling than that of an ordinary citizen at this particular time," the lawyers said. "He is brilliant," said Sheriff Steve Kernes of Clallam County, where Boyce ' hid out. "He played the role very well. He must have looked around at how peo ple dressed and talked, and then blended in." Boyce told his new friends he opposed war and killing and championed women's ' " rights. Kernes said investigators suspected Boyce may have robbed banks td support himself. He said Boyce's absence from the Olympic Peninsula coincided with bank holdups in nearby states which Kernes refused to name - "and perhaps in Washington state." In Washington, D.C., FBI spokesman Roger Young said Sunday the bureau was investigating whether Boyce committed other crimes in Washington state to sup- port himself. "There are at least 16 unsolved bank . robberies in the state of Washington," Young said. "We are not saying Boyce did them, but we're studying the bank se-" icurity films and other evidence to see if'.. there could be any linkup." Boyce may have hoped to further his escape by air. He took flying lessons at ' Pearson Aircraft in Port Angeles and soloed a week ago, said Valerie Stenberg, the flying service's office manager. ; .He worked seven days a week studying both here and at home," said Art -Manahan, chief Pearson instructor.
