Paul A. Lindstrom, national chairman of the Remember the Pueblo Committee, said yesterday he had "positive information" that American war prisoners were being transferred from North Vietnam to China. Lindstrom gave a news conference during an airport stopover on his way to Sweden. He said that transports of American prisoners to China mainly by boat-had been speeded up since April 20. He said that as recently as June 4-6, nine American pilots had been transferred from North Vietnam camps to China.

HE CLAIMED that Henry A. Kissinger had tried, but failed, to get these or any other prisoners released. Kissinger, President Nixon's special adviser, was at Peking last month. Lindstrom complained that no one ever thought of the American prisoners in the hands of the Pathet Lao in Laos, The Remember the Pueblo Committee was founded after the seizure of the United States Navy vessel Pueblo by North Koreans in 1968 to press for the release of the 82 crew members. IN 1969 IT expanded its activities to seek to secure the release of any U.S.

citizens "illegally imprisoned" in any foreign country. Lindstrom is visiting Scandinavia to win support for the Douglas MacArthur Brigade a group of U.S. Vietnam veterans and mercenaries recruited to rescue American prisoners. Lindstrom said influential military men in Saigon wanted to organize raids to free the prisoners, but were denied permission by Washington. The brigade of 150 men is ready to liberate the war prisoners soon, Lindstrom said.

The planned raids would be aimed at North Vietnam, north Cambodia and north Laos, he said. AT A LATER news conference in Jonkoping, Sweden, Lindstrom said about 200 U.S. prisoners had been taken in Laos by the Pathet Lao.

AW Hope Seen For Area Stability Hong Kong (UPI) Asian nations generally welcomed the start of a detente between North and South Korea yesterday as a step toward peace in the Pacific. They saw the opening of negotiations between the North and South, divided since World War II, as a hopeful sign for the region. Veteran diplomat Carlos P. Romulo, the Philippines' foreign secretary, said the Seoul-Pyongyang agreement to end hostilities "is welcome news and it is to be hoped that it will lead ultimately to the reunification of the great Korean people." AT WASHINGTON, American offi-. cials, while expressing great pleasure at the agreement between North and South Korea to begin substantive negotiations, warned against undue optimism at this time.

They said the situation is much the same as that between West Germany and Communist East Germany was when those two countries more than two years ago first began discus-" sions to try to eliminate some of the outstanding irritants between them. The goal of German reunification still is far in the future, if it ever occurs. But tensions between the two countries have been greatly eased, in part due to continuing pressure from the Soviet Union and the United States on their respective friends. IN JAPAN, which stands to benefit from an opening of trade with North Korea, Foreign Minister Takeo Fukuda issued a statement saying the Korean dialogue is of "historic and will "contribute to the easing of tension in the Asian region as well as the Korean Peninsula." A spokesman for Thailand's ruling National Executive Council said the news was surprising but welcome, adding, "We believe that it will help pro-, mote peace to this part of the world." Australia's Foreign Affairs Minister Nigel Bowen called it a "significant and hopeful development" and said, "The important thing is that a most encouraging beginning has been made." INDONESIAN Foreign Minister Adam Malik said the agreement is a positive contribution toward peace and stability, and as such is welcomed by the Indonesian people. Nationalist China, however, warned that North Korea is trying to achieve Turn to Page 17, Column 4 Inside Today's Star News Summary On Page 3 Amusement Pages .36, 37 Billy Graham 25 Bridge 25 Collins 60 Comics 40 Crossword .25 Editorials ...20 Finance .48 Food 32 Sports TV-Radio 16,41 Uncle Ray .25 Weather .59 Women Pages ..59 Court News And Statistics Star Telephone Numbers Main Office 633-1240 Circulation 633-9211 Want Ads 633-1212 Scores After 4:30 p.m.

Most shelters were built during the era of the Cuban missile crisis 10 years ago this autumn. Contractors did a booming business but as the urgency of protection fell off, so did the tatlout shelter trade.

TRAMMER Appoint of a safety co-ordinator is among steps being taken by the Indianapolis Department of Public Safety in a new program to make the citizens more safety conscious particularly concerning drownings and fires. A co-ordinated effort among the police and fire departments will begin Monday when Patrick J. Finneran begins his work in the capacity of safety co-ordinator, William A. Leak, director of the Department of Public Safety, announced yesterday. Although the new safety program has not been outlined, Leak commented that young people are not heeding the safety instructions they receive in school.

MEANTIME, a $6,000 appropriation for scuba diving equipment has been made in an attempt to reduce the drowning death rate. The action comes in liie wake of recent drownings of two youths. Reykjavik, Iceland (AP) Now it's Boris Spassky's turn to say nc and the world chess championship is off again. The Russian titleholder launched his counterattack yesterday with a stern protest, some sharp criticism, a walkout and a demand for a two-day postponement of the start of the match with American Bobby Fischer. Fischer slept through it all.

He had arrived in the morning from New York and went straight to bed to rest up for the first game, set for 5 p.m. When Fischer woke up he found that the title series had been put off until tomorrow at the earliest. It was to have begun last Sunday. SUMMING UP the Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation, said: "When Spassky is here, Fischer doesn't come. As soon as Fischer comes, Spassky runs away." The Russians turned up in force at noon for what was to be a drawing of lots to decide who would play white, and have the first move, in the opener.

They refused to draw with Fischer's second, a Roman Catholic priest, the Rev. William Lombardy, and read a statement calling Fischer's delaying holdout intolerable. They protested Euwe's decision to tolerate it. When Fischer failed to appear Sunday as he should have, Euwe allowed him until noon yesterday to show up at Reykjavik or forfeit his shot at Spassky. FISCHER'S refusal to come by Sunday was based on a dispute with the organizers over money.

The argument was settled Monday when British financier James Slater offered to sweeten an already record pot with a donation of 50,000 British pounds about $130,000. Fischer said he would play. The Russians said yesterday that Fischer had violated the rules of the match. They wanted an apology. Euwe reported they had some harsh words for him as well.

"I'm a bad boy," the 71-year-old Dutchman said with a smile. Spassky read his statement from what looked like an official document in Russian. It created the impression that he was acting on Moscow's orders. A DISPATCH by Tass, the official Soviet news agency, said Spassky had demanded that the International Chess Federation known at FIDE take some punitive measures against Fischer on the grounds that he had violated the rules for the match. It did not specify what sort of measures should be taken.

Asked about the Tass report, Euwe said no formal request for punitive measures had been received. Besides, Turn to Page 17, Column 1 goggles and a flight suit. The entire plane was scarcely wider than the cabin of the 747 jet he usually flew. THE PLANE WAS completed by Roy (Buck) Wheat's aviation class at Big Bend Community College at Moses Lake. It had an 85 horsepower engine, about double the power of the original Pusher in which Morrison soloed in 1932.

The wing was mounted on struts above the fuselage and just behind the cockpit. The engine was located at the rear of the wing, facing backward. The aircraft carried a battery-operated two-way radio for contact with control towers at small airports.

Cool tonight with low In 50s. High tomorrow low to mid 70's. Young people sre the primary target of the safety effort, Leak declared. The present safely education programs must be strengthened to provide guidance of the young when school is out, he said. It is very difficult to interest youths in attending voluntary safety education programs outside of school, he added.

"One of the problems we are having with kids and safety is that parents don't always know where their children are or what they are doing," he noted. FINNERAN'S JOB will be to direct safety education programs on a year-round basis as often as necessary-making clear safety precautions concerning both swimming and fire. The two young drowning victims in the last eight days in Indianapolis, Ross Allen Painter, 14, 7928 East Penway Street, and Michael A. Kelly, 15, 4559 North Carrollton Avenue, are reported to have said they could swim the dist- ance that proved fatal. Kelly drowned Monday, while fishing, when he waded into White River in the 1100 block of White River Parkway, West Drive, to retrieve a large fish that had broken his line.

PAINTER HAD attempted to swim across an inlet at Geist Reservoir Tuesday, June 27, and drowned while struggling as his companions attempted to rescue him. The youths were spending the afternoon hiking.

Leak noted that both youths, who considered themselves capable of swimming the distances, drowned in deep water fairly close to shore. The companions, of the two victims attempted repeatedly to reach the boys and pull them to safety, Leak added. In both instances, Leak also noted, the drownings were in unguarded areas not set aside specifically for recreation. He admitted, however, there is no law against fishing along a river or swimming in a reservoir. WILLIAM I.

SPENCER, director of the Indianapolis Department of Parks and Recreation, pointed out meantime that for $1 a youth can receive hourly swimming lessons at any of the public-owned swimming pools. Although fire prevention men have been working diligently, they have been "spinning their wheels," Leak noted, citing a fire Monday in which Mrs. Charlene Matthews, 41, 3140 East Iowa Street, and her 6-month-old granddaughter, Dana Matthews, died. The aim of bringing an interest in safety to the city's citizens, Leak said, rests in part with the program to be headed by Finneran who has had several years experience in advertising and public relations. It is hoped that spots where area residents meet informally such as parks or community centers can be pinpointed so that police and firemen can be sent to talk to both adults and young people about ways to save their own iives.

Morrison, a veteran jet pilot flying across country in an open -cockpit plane like the one he learned to fly in 40 years ago, was killed yesterday when the craft crashed near Napier, the highway patrol said. Morrison, 59, an Eastern Airlines 747 Jumbo Jet pilot from Miami Shores, was flying the replica of a Curtiss-Wright "Pusher" plane from Moses Lake, to his home. MORRISON LEFT Moses Lake Friday morning and had been making 150-mile hops. The plane's average speed was 60 miles an hour. The pilot spent Friday night in Missoula, Saturday night in BillinRS, Sunday night in Rapid City, S.D., and Monday night in Sioux Falls, S.D.

The Federal Aviation Administration said Morrison had not filed a flight plan. THE CRASH SITE was about 40 miles north of here. The highway patrol said skies were partly cloudy, with no severe winds at the time of the crash. 1 While piloting the open aircraft.

DURING AN interview before he took off, Morrison, who had only eight months to go before retirement, said he expected his biggest problems to be the mountains of Idaho and western Montana, the danger of sudden thunderstorms in the Midwest and rugged terrain near Chattanooga. He said then that if he ran into trouble he would try to land on a highway or in an open field. Morrison, an Eastern jiilot since 1939, said he got the idea of the flight when he saw an ad in a trade journal offering the replica for sale. "I WOULDN'T have bought any other airplane," Morrison said at Seattle last week, shortly before starting out. "I retire from Eastern next March, so I thought it would be fun to have something like my old plane back again." The Pusher carried only enought fuel for 2Mi-hour jumps at a time and Morri-8on had to land about every 150 miles to refuel.

He was following rivers and highways along the way as landmarks. "I HAVE A certain advantage, being a farm boy originally," he said in the prcflight Interview. "I can tell the wind direction, for example, by the way cattle are grazing."
