Assistant U.S. Atty. William Edwards said federal charges also were planned against Oranetta Mays, who was shot in the chest Friday night when a SWAT team stormed the Boeing 727 in which four persons were held hostage for 6 1/2 hours. Mays was listed in satisfactory condition. None of the hostages were harmed.
