Extra Man Aboard He's Carrying A Gun (AP) number the WASHINGTON An near- of unknown ly 15,000 commercial airplane flights over and out of the United States today had an extra passenger a guncarrying guard, stationed in on President the cabin Nixon's orders. But it was doubtful the average airline traveler would know if his flight carried the jet age version of the shotgun rider; and even if he did know, he probably could not tell which of his fellow passengers was the guard. In the preannouncing emptive attack on airline piracy, the President Friday declined to say how many of the 14,730 domestic and 125 transcontinental flights each day would be guarded. He said the first contingent of guards would be di'awn from federal government agencies such as the Secret Service and the Federal Aviation Administration.

It was presumed the air marshals would try to be as inconspicuous as possible.

The Pentagon also said military personnel will not carry such as tiie bulky weapons standard M16 rifle. No reserve troops or National Guard personnel will be used.
