(AP) Vice President George Bush and students from Landon Middle School teamed up Monday to honor former Gov. Alfred M. Landon on his 98th birthday. The grand old man of the GOP, who lost the presidency to Franklin Roosevelt in 1936, let Bush do most of the talking as the students and several dozen others gathered at the front porch of Landon's home for the traditional observance. Bush said he was 12 years old when he first saw Landon in the '36 campaign, and added that the former governor "set a tremendous example in civic life, in public life." Landon "won the hearts of all Americans" in 1936, the vice president said.

"He's 98. but he's still teaching, still setting an example for Americans." The students gave Landon a cake and sang "Happy Birthday," while the school band played.

OSLO, Norway (AP) Early returns from Norway's election Monday showed gains for the socialist opposition at the expense of two of the three parties in Conservative Prime Minister Kaare Willoch's coalition government. With 143,444 of some 3.1 million ballots counted, Gro Harlem Bruhdtland's Labor Party was getting 43.7 percent of the votes, up 5 percent from the same stage in the last general election in 1981.

Willoch's Conservative Party had 20.3 percent, down 2.4 percent, but major conservative areas were still to be heard from. The national election center predicted that if the trend continued, the socialist opposition would gain five seats in the 157- seat Parliament for a total of 77, forcing Willoch to count on the small anti-tax Progress Party to give it 80 seats. "Everything is uncertain," Willoch said in a television interview. "I can't say anything now. We could have wanted it better." Mrs.

Brundlland, who was with celebrating party members at Labor's headquarters, said, "This feels good. I think this is very much a choice between attitudes. After four years with something else, people have had a better opportunity to compare." One of the Conservatives' coalition partners was falling behind its showings four years ago and the other was holding its ground. The Christian People's Party had 10.6 percent of the vote, down 1.6 percent, and the Center Party had 14.3 percent, unchanged from 1981. The two parties aligned -with Labor were receiving mixed results.

The anti-NATO Socialist Left had 4.9 percent, up 0.5 percent, and the Liberal Party 2.8 percent, down 1 percent. The remaining ballots went to the Progress Party and other minor groups. Polls at all the balloting stations closed alDp.m. (3p.m.EDT). Willoch's coalition controlled 79 seats in the previous 155-member Storting, or Parliament.

The Conservatives had 53. Christian People's Party 15 and Center Party 11. The leftists had 72 Labor's 66, Socialist Left 4 and Liberal Party 2. The Progress Party had 4. Two more seats were added to Parliament for this election because of the popularion growth in Akcrshus County near Oslo.
