FRANKLIN SAID it may turn out that some of the missing outfits have been hoarded and not stolen. Many suits may be hanging in the hospital lockers of surgical ward employees, who resort to this method to insure a handy supply of well-fitting suits. Other employees may have taken the suits home with the intention of returning them, he said.

"So far, we've operated on the honor system," Franklin said. "There's no way we can lock all the doors of the hospital so nobody can get in or out." The alliance task force, composed of representatives of member hospitals, will meet next week in an organized bid to control the problem. "Maybe when we get word out to people about what kind of cost they're adding onto hospital bills, we can control some of this," Chief Mulvey said. "Right now, tKey're just carrying them out the door." Continued From Page 1 hospitals and St. Francis Hospital Center.

Presidential aides have drafted remarks for Mr. Carter to deliver to the convention about a new bomber tonight; however, the President could decide to hold off. It depends in part on how he reads the mood of the convention, -sources said.

"YOU'RE GOING to hear about these new bomber breakthroughs sooner or later in this campaign, one knowledgeable official said in discussing the administration's plan for combating Reagan's claim that Mr. Carter has let down the nation's guard by canceling the B-l and by other actions. Although the Air Force is secretive about the breakthroughs for foiling enemy radar, Lt. Gen. Kelly H.

Burke, Air Force research chief, has said publicly that "high on our list of hardware explorations" in looking for a new bomber "is radar-absorbing material to reduce radar cross sections, which would improve survivability against both surface-to-air mis- TMl WASMINOTON JIT Washington President Carter will commit himself to developing a new strategic bomber, perhaps as early as tonight when he accepts renomination at th Democratic National Convention, government sources said Wednesday. Such a commitment would steal a march on GOP standard-bearer Ronald Reagan and his adherents, who have lambasted Carter for canceling the B-I bomber in Sources said that breakthroughs in technology will enable Mr. Carter to argue that his cancellation was a good move because contemplated new bomber, could foil Soviet defenses that are becoming lethal enough to down a B-i: i ONE KEY breakthrough is a top secret way to make a long-range bomber virtually invisible to enemy radar used to detect invading aircraft and to aim guns and missiles at them. Some Air Force enthusiasts have nicknamed the new plane "Stealth" because of its ghostlike qualities. Technocrats explain that Stealth presents a small, siles and look-down, shoot-down" interceptor planes.

WILLIAM J. PERRY, Pentagon research chief, contends that Soviet strides in developing airborne radar that can look down and spot invading low-level bombers would doom the B-l, which some members of Congress still are championing. Perry also opposes the Strategic Air Command's proposal to stretch the F-lll into a long-range bomber for the 1980s and 1990s. "Over my dead body," he once said in asserting that the stretched F-lll did not make: sense. He would rather go for new technology to stay ahead of Soviet defenses.

Mr. Carter is thus in position to contend that the Pentagon experts agree a better bomber than the B-l was worth waiting for. He does not have to commit himself to putting a bomber in production, since that decision is years away. BESIDES combatting Reagan, Mr. Carter's commitment to a new bomber would get him off the hook with Congress.

The House and Senate in compromising on a weapons money bill this year directed the Carter administration to choose some kind of bomber by next March 15. 1 For fear the Pentagon would balk at putting a new bomber in production, as it has for two decades now with the B-70 and then the B-l, Congress said it wanted whatever bomber was chosen to be in service by 1987. Although this sounds like plenty of time to design and produce a new bomber, it actually is not. Modern warplanes take about 10 years to advance from the drawing board to the runway. TO SOME Air Forge leaders, this means Mr.

Carter will have to settle for a bomber simpler to build than the Stealth, perhaps leaving an opening for a variant of the B-l. But they concede that going back to any kind of bomber resembling the B-l would be politically uncomfortable for Mr. Carter. An attractive middle ground for Mr. Carter would be to promise to develop a new bomber, give the public a peek at the wonder technology now in reach such as.

airplane skins that absorb or deflect radar beams and leave the specific choice open- until after the November election. The Air Force Scientific Advisory Board studied the various bomber options last month and concluded that the new plane should be able to perform a multitude of missions, not just deliver a nuclear weapon to a stationary target. Missiles are accurate enough to do that, the board reasoned. A MULTI-MISSION bomber could attack moving targets, drop mines or fire missiles at ships, the board concluded and reportedly discouraged the idea that a virtually "invisible" aircraft like Stealth could be built anytime soon. Jimmy Carter would not be the first Democratic president to disclose war-plane secrets to dramatize a commitment to a strong national defense.

President Johnson on Feb. 29, 1964 ripped the secrecy veil off the A-1J spy plane built at the Lockheed "skunk works" in California, a highly secret facility that is expected to contribute technology to any new bomber deployed by the United States. Hoosier Delegates Vote In Favor of MX Missiles Edwards funds for loans. Edwards approved the application as to its form to the commission. Continued From Page 1 ment is not reported on Edwards' 1979 statement the MX would escalate the arms race.

Bushemi said the Soviet Union, once the MX is deployed, would retaliate in such a way that the arms race would continue to spiral upward. Robert H. McKinney of Indianapolis, former chairman of the Home Loan Bank Board and a Carter supporter, favored the MX. The former naval officer said this country must have a nuclear deterrent. He said both the fixed silo site and the Polaris (missile firing) submarine are becoming obsolete.

"I don't want the Democratic Party on record as being in favor of unilateral withdrawal from the arms race," McKinney declared. Soviets Liken Carter To Hitler In Providing For Own Safety THE STAR'S CONVENTION BUREAU New York Indiana's delegation to the 38th Democratic National Convention supported the deployment of the MX missile defense system, 53-25, in the final tussle of the platform fight Wednesday night. The plank was approved, with 35 abstentions and 145 absentees. Two- Hoosiers were missing on the vote. Jack Watson, one of President Carter's chief assistants, appealed to the Indiana delegation through State Rep.

Hurley Goodall (D-Muncie): for support of the platform plank. Goodall and State Democratic Chairman Donald F. Michael cast their votes for Carter side of the controversy. But they asked Watson to clarify for them what President Carter actually intends to do in respect to the $60 billion missile system, considering the massive expenditure necessary for the $12 billion economic package proposed by Sen. Edward M.

Kennedy (D-Mass.) and endorsed by the convention. According to the Muncie legislator, Watson assured him the President would make clear his position on the $12 billion economic package when he delivers his acceptance speech tonight. State Sen. John Bushemi (D-Gary), speaking for those opposed to the MX system, said he voted against the defense plank because he believes deployment of PUBLIC SERVICE INDIANA lists in annual reports filed with the Public Service Commission payments of $3,600 to Edwards in 1978 and $3,600 to Edwards' law firm in 1979. A spokeswoman for Public Service Indiana said the payments were fees paid to retain Edwards as one of the utility's attorneys.

Edwards does not list the payments in either the 1978 or 1979 statements. 'The payments are the same as those made to many law firms in the state," 'the spokewoman said. She said PSI has not had its corporate records subpoenaed in the IRS probe of Edwards' financial dealings. Edwards also failed to list in the 1979 report his representation of Leavell and Bates a Lafayette-based loan company, before the Indiana Securities Commission. the loan company sought approval of a securities program designed to raise Indictment Only 'Negative' In GOP Campaign: Orr Lt.

Gov. Robert D. Orr said Wednesday the indictment of of State Sen. Martin K. Edwards (R-New Castle), president pro tempore of the Indiana Senate, "is one negative factor among many, many positive factors" in the GOP election campaign this year.

Orr said it is not "overly appropriate to make an observation about the ongoing investigation of the grand jury and the activities in the court." He said the administration of Gov. Otis R. Bowen is "noteworthy for the high standards it has set." Concerning Edwards, Orr said, "We as a society look on persons as innocent until proven guilty." lion Americans would die in a nuclear war with the Soviet Union and added, "There is every indication that Carter, (national security adviser Zbigniew) Brzezinski and company are little worried about this, that the main thing is for them to survive. "And for that purpose it is planned beforehand to harden shelters for the key persons, to establish a kind of bunker for them." Recalling similar contingency plans by Adolf Hitler. Tass said.

"The leaders of the Third Reich are known also to have taken care of their personal safety. But it is also known that the bunker did not save their lives." Moscow (UPI) The Soviet press Wednesday accused President Carter of making plans for a Hitler-type bunker to shield himself in case of a nuclear-war. The Tass news agency said Presidential Directive 58, which accompanies another directive in revising U.S. nuclear strategy, shows that "the key persons of the White House took care of their i own I safety." Directive 58 is intended to offer more effective protection to U.S. government leaders in case of a nuclear war.

The administration said such a fallback plan is necessary to insure "continuity of government."
