But the U.S. State Department has let it be known discreetly that the sprawling residence can be bought by the highest bidder. In 1814, the chateau, originally built by a Swiss banker, became a haven for Marie Louise, the Empress of France and Haps-burg princess.

She fled there with her 3-year-old son, the King of Rome, when Paris was I captured by Napoleon's ene-jmies. I Joseph Bonaparte, Napoleon's I eldest surviving brother who briefly occupied the thrones of I Naples and of Spain, bought the I chateau in 1815 and lived in it I for some time before his pursuers again gave chase. It is said that he escaped from Fran-gins through a secret tunnel to a waiting boat on the lake and eventually to a new life in New Jersey. In 1919. Karl emperor of Austria, moved to Prangins.

He lived there for two years, and there plotted an abortive attempt to reclaim the crown of Hungary. The ill-fated project led to his expulsion from neutral Switzerland. Six vears ago Mrs. Stanley McCormick, heiress of the har vesting machine fortune gave the chateau to the American government. Her husband had bought it in 1929, but neither he nor his wife used it extensively.

In the beginning, the government had ambitious plans for the gift. One plan called for the castle to be made into a tempo- Despite the demand for duck eggs, retailers and wholesalers have been unable to get them.

Mrs. V.H., Brick Township Why not take his advice? The number of stamp issses honoring the Apollo 11 astronauts and memorializing Indian freedom fighter Mahatma Gandhi is growing rapidly. The latest nations to join in saluting the astronauts are Belgium and Liberia, while Ireland and Mexico have issued stamps in honor of Gandhi. Belgium's issue comprises a 6f 6tamp, depicting the three astronauts in front of a moon globe Stowing the spot where Neil Armstrong and Edwin Al-drin touched down with their lunar module. Also issued was a semi-postal souvenir sheet, with a similar view on the 20 plus lOf stamp.

The margin also shows Armstrong taking his first step on the lunar surface. Liberia will release three stamps and a souvenir sheet rary White House for future summit meetings in Geneva. Another plan to make it the U.S. Ambassador's Geneva home, was discarded because the highway from Prangins to the city 14 miles is too often congested. The government began to have second thoughts about the castle, in large part because State Department officials felt Congress would not approve an estimated repair cost of $500,000.

The chateau, as an embassy officer put it, had become a "sort of white elephant of epic proportions." So, the government decided to sell it. As word spread, private proposals were put forward to retain Prangins as a permanent site for conferences and seminars for junior diplomats, possibly also as an American cultural center with exhibitions of paintings and regular concerts. So far, the proposals have remained without an echo, and no bidder has turned up. But the rats are multiplying and mold is spreading fast behind the closed shutters and the tarnished windows of an unwanted gift. 0 The captain says he told his customers that because of the Labor Day weekend, the pool was continued through Monday, Sept.

The Glass Container Manufacturers Institute reports that more than half of the nation's 5,000 hospital maternity wards are using "instant" feeding formulas that tome, ready to serve, in vacuum-sealed, sterilized, disposable bottles. With this system the nurse or young mother has no formula to mix, no empty bottles to sterilize and fill, and no bottle-warmer to fuss with. At feeding time she just takes the sealed bottle out of its case, removes the cap and attaches a nipple.
