By WARREN PAYNE Courier-Journal Staff Writer Three Kentucky residents have been awarded the Silver Star, the nation's third-highest for gallantry in combat, for bravery in South Vietnam.

The three are: Army Staff Sgt. Kermit Price, son of Clyde W. Price, Middlesboro Rt. 1. Army CWO Charles E.

Leonard II, 26, son of Air Force Maj. Charles E. Leonard of Radcliff Rt. 1. Air Force Maj.

Paul J. Darghty, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Robinson of Highland Was With 4th Division Sgt. Price earned the award last May 9 while serving with a company of the 4th Infantry Division, at a landing zone that had come under heavy enemy attack.

Although wounded, Price quickly organized his men and led them in an assault that drove the enemy back. Then he directed mortar fire until the enemy guns were silenced. Still bleeding from his wounds, the 23-year-old sergeant helped carry other wounded men to evacuation points for medical treatment. Price is now serving as a mortar pla; toon section leader in Headquarters Company, 3rd Battalion, of the Fourth Infantry Division's 8th Infantry. Commander of Helicopter CWO Leonard, received his citation for gallantry while serving as helicopter commander in Company 227th Aviation Battalion, 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile), at Camp Gorvad near Phuoc Vinh.

When an allied unit was in danger of being overrun by a larger enemy force, Leonard provided fire support. "Being immediately subjected to dev astating enemy fire," the citation said, "he retaliated, annihilating at least half of the position." On a low-level pass over the enemy positions, the pilot was seriously wounded, and Leonard took control of the crippled craft and flew it to medical facilities at Quan Loi. Recovers Downed Pilot Major Darghty, who has more than 18 years of military service and is rated a command pilot, earned the Silver Star for recovering a pilot drowned in one of the most heavily defended supply route complexes in Southeast Asia. With the recovered pilot aboard, he maneuvered his crippled aircraft safely into a permissible landing area.

Still Owe For Ampitheater Use, Chicago Paper Says CHICAGO (AP)-A $200,000 bill for use of the International Amphitheater during the 1968 Democratic convention has still not been paid by the Democratic National Committee, the Chicago Daily News said yesterday.

The paper also said the Democrats have some unpaid hotel bills in Chicago and that both the Republicans and Democrats owe "substantial amounts" for planes chartered during the 1968 presidential campaign. Amphitheater officials were unavailable for comment on the report. According to The Daily News, the International Amphitheater was donated rent-free to the Democrats as an inducement to bring their national convention to Chicago and the committee was billed only for improvements made to the Amphitheater during the Starting April 1 Iv Census to Rely More On Mail-Back Forms 1 Fast Relief For Ugly, Wornout Windows Update Your Home, Eliminate Window Maintenance With Low Cost fi Work-Free Nu-Sash By NAN ROBERTSON Nw York Timei News Servici WASHINGTON "We can't know where we're going if we don't know where we are." This is the theme and the reason for the 1970 census that begins April 1. The vast gathering of statistics, the 19th decennial census since Congress ordered the first in 1790, will be a self-portrait of America, filled in by the heads of 71 million households. It will show how and where 205 million citizens live, work, move, play, are schooled and housed.

The census will count every American alive on April 1 young, old, black, white, rich, poor, in East and West, in farm home, town house and tenement. The Census Bureau's big effort in 1970 is to find both Negro census-takers and Negro citizens who were undercounted in i960 and thus underrepresented. And for the first time, people in big cities will be asked to mail back their census forms without having a census4aker call, The bureau says this is more efficient and insures privacy. Recent complaints that the questions would invade privacy have died down, in Congress at least. For a while the issue pulled together large numbers of conservatives and civil libertarians in the House of Representatives, who backed a bill to make answering the census voluntary instead of mandatory, as it has always been.

The bill was defeated. This census will change the composition of Congress and state legislatures and it will guide government programs in iuch crucial areas as education, jobs and housing. On April 1, census-takers wearing red, white and blue identity badges will start ringing doorbells. On March 28, mailmen will deliver the census forms to every household. In big cities, containing 60 per cent of the people, forms will be filled out and mailed back.

If the form is not filled out within several weeks, a census-taker, called an will make a follow-up visit. The other 40 per cent of the people will fill out and give their forms to the census-takers. There will be 160,000 enumerators, nine out of 10 of them women, who will be paid $2 to $2.50 an hour. Paul R. Squires, assistant director of the Census Bureau's field division, says that anything can happen during a census, but that few enumerators have had unpleasant experiences.

In the 1960 census they called police only about half a dozen times, Squires said. All these incidents involved purse-snatching. If the subject resists questioning, the census-taker is instructed to leave and call his crew leader for help! Some people are not uncooperative, but don't want to stop work to answer questions. This year, the Bureau is trying to recruit Negroes, Indians and Mexican-Americans as enumerators r- and get minority neighborhoods to cooperate in the count. It is estimated that one Negro out of 10 went uncounted and thus unrepresented in the 1960 census.

Names and addresses are taken by enumerators only once. They are then erased from the bureau's computer tapes before being fed intq the electronic data banks. The bureau's field 'operations will last through May. In May and June, preliminary unofficial statistics will be issued. By September the Census Bureau will begin to publish official figures for states, counties, cities, towms and villages.
