Fliers Return Home OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) In a military mortuary behind a cyclone fence, caskets bearing the remains of 11 American aviators from Vietnam wait for the last leg of their journey to a final resting place a wait that in some cases began 12 years ago. The bodies arrived in Oakland late Tuesday from Travis Air Force Base north of here. They had been flown to Travis from Honolulu. Families across the country soon will get the flag-draped coffins of the 11, returned to the United States after a fiveman presidential commission met with Vietnamese officials in Hanoi earlier this month.

The bodies were flown to Hickman Air Force Base in Honolulu and were positively identified March 19. A military transport plane broke through an overcast sky late Tuesday afternoon, roiling to a halt on a wind-whipped flight line at Travis, about 50 miles to the north of Oakland. As a handful of military officials looked on, the rear doors of the C141 transport swung open. One-by-one the aluminum caskets were carried by Air Force enlisted men and women to 11 waiting hearses in a quiet and simple ceremony. Only one family, the wife and daughter of Air Force Lt.

Col. Elwyn R. Capling, waited at the base an installation where similar dramas were played many times when the war in Vietnam was raging. Mrs. Capling stood in quiet composure, holding the hand of her 12-year-old daughter, Chris.

The Caplings, from Cihicago, ended a wait that began in September 1968 when Capling was shot down while flying a mission over North Vietnam. The 11 were: Lt. Col. Capling Navy Capt. Roy H.

A 12th body, identified by the Vietnamese as that of Air Force Maj. Curtis A. Eaton of Wakefield, R.I., was determined to be that of a Vietnamese man and was returned to Vietnam.

(API --Scientists say they have made the first major structural discovery in the solar system in nearly 50 years the cold, mysterious planet of Uranus has rings like Saturn.

Until now, Saturn was the one of the i planets encircled by rings of space particles. "The possibility of the rings had been vaguely speculated before, but the discovery caught everyone by surprise," Dr. James Elliott, a space researcher at Cornell University, said of the discovery, details of which were announced today at a news conference. Elliott and his co-workers were studying the stars around Uranus, seventh planet from the sun. when they spotted the five thin rings.

The team was working in an airborne laboratory 41,000 feet aloft. The aircraft, operated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Ames Research Center here, was flying over the southern Indian Ocean when the sighting was made on March 10. The rings weren't seen earlier, Elliott explained in an interview, because light reflected from the planet is usually so bright it obscures (he ring's lesser reflections. He said the plane's altitude and position on the nightside of the Earth provided just the right combination of light conditions for observing the heretofore unseen rings. After the first reports of their i a i around the world were told the conditions under which the rings could be spotted and were asked to confirm the finding.

Last week, the Smithsonian Astronomical Observatory at Cambridge, said an Indian astronomer saw the rings from an observatory near New Delhi. And an astronomer from the University of Arizona also sighted the rings from an observatory near Perth, Australia. Elliott said the rings are sim- ilar to the famed colored rings around Saturn, but are much thinner. He named them after the first five letters of the Greek alphabet, alpha, beta, gamma, delta and epsilon. "We don't know why they are so thin," he said.

"They are only a few miles thin, and the thickest one is 30 to 60 miles. Saturn's rings are thousands of miles thick. OPEN DAILY 9-10 SUNDAY 10-6 FRL, SAT.
