COFFEY Chicago Daily News LONDON A magistrate's clerk from Nottingham (where else?) claims to have established the true identity of the legendary Robin Hood as a reckless spendthrift and disinherited nobleman named Robert De Kyme. Furthermpore, according to James Lees, it was the curiosity of American square dancers that pushed him into the 12 years of research leading to his discovery.

Orthodox scholars consider Robin Hood as a mythical creature, originally a wood-elf in English and Scottish folklore, then a conglomerate legend built up out of every local bandit chief who ever came out of the woods. And, of course, there are people of a certain age who think the real Robin Hood was the late Errol Flynn of the movies. But the 60-year-old Lees claimed in an interview to have proved "absolutely" that there was a real Robin Hood roaming the precincts of Please turn page i sS 'S' vprv I 1 Vv 1 1 1 4 'I 5 I a S-f Jane Hart Wont Pay Anymore The wife of Sen. Philip A. Hart, says she will make no more payments on her income tax as a protest against the war in Viet-Ham, Booth Newspapers said yesterday.

The eight Michigan newspapers reported that Jane Hart wrote the Internal Revenue Service on May 10 saying she is refusing to make any more payments. Mrs. Hart, heir to a Detroit manufacturing fortune, said she failed to include a check for $6,200 in estimated tax payments when she made her quarterly filing her estimated taxes. In writing the IRS, Mrs. Hart said she is "ready to accept any sanctions that apply." "I cannot contribute one more dollar toward the purchase of more bombs and bullets," she wrote.

"As a citizen, I feel the kind of desperation that decent Germans must have felt in the '30s. I can't be a party to any more of this and still feel like an honest person." Hart said he and his wife are in "total agreement" on the war, but he said he opposes nonpayment of taxes as a means of protest. Mrs. Hart long has been active in the antiwar movement. She was among 185 persons arrested at a 1969 peace service in the Pentagon, but those convictions were overturned by a federal appellate court.

Self -Styled Psychic NOW- She could have been a socially-conscious leader in the "Society" sense with a capital S. After all, at one time, early in her marriage, she had a dozen servants in the house on East Avenue.

But she chose the other course of social leadership, the course of doing something FOR society the broad interpretation of society, meaning mankind. The lady, of course, is Mrs. Harper Sibley Sr. who last night was the central figure in a "Living History" film at Rochester Museum and Science Center. She was the third person to be interviewed and filmed in the history series; the others were Dr.

Howard Hanson and Mrs. F. Hawley Ward. Mrs. Sibley, who will be 85 years old next Tuesday, was there in person, admittedly a bit embarrassed about what was to be shown on the screen.

"I thought these were documents for the future, for history. So I shall sit here wondering about what I said. Ad-rienne McLennan, who did the interview, ought to be nominated to be the first woman in the FBI; she digs out all your secrets." The segment shown last night was but one of six half-hour segments. It reviewed Sibley family history and pointed up some of the areas to which Mrs. Sibley has dedicated her life the ecumenical movement, education, international understanding, social equality.

Dr. John A. Leermakers, chairman of the museum trustees' executive committee, was master of ceremonies. He recalled a quote of Mrs. Sibley's which, he said, pointed up her outlook on life: "People are meant to be loved, and things are meant to be used.

Too often, I think, we use people, and love things." A noted speaker, particularly as an international churchwoman, Mrs. Sibley has received 13 honorary degrees from colleges throughout the world. She was asked to make a commencement address this year, "but unfortunately I had to decline." IT'S TRUE THAT SOME-times your friends won't tell you. I was hacking around a golf course on the weekend with Byron B. Webber, real estate broker, and Doug Adam, the hockey club general manager, and Jack McCarthy, the post office man, and all Webber was worried about was losing 20 cents to McCarthy.

Not until yesterday from people around the Four Corners did I learn that Webber and his associate, Victor Bay, have just completed some big business in New England. They put together a $2.8 million mortgage for the sale of Union Hospital of New Bedford, and a $740,000 deal on a shopping center in Lancaster, N.H. The hospital was sold by a Massachusetts group to the American Medical Development Corp. neaded by Dr. Edward Kaitz.

When you're a self-proclaimed psychic with the powers of dream-recall, telepathy, psychokinesis (mind over matter), psychometry (per -sonal readings from an object), and future-prediction, the little things just aren't that important.

The little things, like remembering the names of the nine persons in your Saturday afternoon class on mind power and E.S.P.

The selling he has to do is of himself, convincing his pupils that it': worth $25 for four weekly three-hour sessions to learn about the psychic powers and techniques he's developed in a year-and-a-half since attending a lecture by Mr. Kreskin, a prominent psychic. But it's those powers that give him the confidence, a self-assuredness that the old Don Cunningham, a ninth discover that director Joe Blalchford was playing tennis on the White House court one day when others in the administration were working frantically on Capitol Hill to save the Peace Corps budget. Whatever the reason, a White House aide called Blatchford's office recently to inform him that he was no longer eligible to play at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The explanation given was that the privilege was now being restricted to those top-ranking White House staffers who qualify for the status list.

Blatchford's reaction was to ignore the telephone call. As the administration's top tennis player, who once competed in the Wimbleton, he has a special "pass" to the tennis court, designed just for him in flowery script by the White House callig-rapher and signed by Presidential assistant Dwight Chapin. Until Chapin who is in Moscow revokes the pass himself, Blatchford Intends to keep playing at the White House.

'Sticks, Bones' Best The New York Drama Critics Circle yesterday named "Sticks and Bones" the best drama and "Two Gentlemen of Verona" as the best musical of the 1971-72 theatrical season.

The two productions three weeks ago won Broadway's annual Tony Awards as outstanding productions. The critics named "The Screens" by Jean Genet as the best foreign play of the year. The French drama nosed out Harold Printer's "Old Times" for the citation by one point in the point-weighted ballot system used. Under that plan each reviewer's first choice gets three points, his second two and third choice one. From AP.
