(AP Wirephoto) HONOLULU (AP) Members of the presidential commission en route to Vietnam hope the remains of 12 American pilots will be waiting for them when they arrive in Hanoi on Wednesday. "That's what they did the last time we visited. We took the remains of three home with us," Rep. G.V. Montgomery, a commission member, said during the 11-hour first leg of the journey Sunday from Washington, D.C., to Honolulu.

The five-member commission, which flies on to the Philippines today, is seeking information on 2,546 Americans who never returned from the Vietnam war and will watch for indications that the Vietnamese are seriously interested in normalizing relations with the United States. "That's why I'm confident they'll make a gesture such as giving us the remains of the pilots," said Montgomery, who previously visited Hanoi in December 1975 as chairman of the House Select Committee on Missing Persons in Southeast Asia. The names of the 12 pilots whose remains the commission hopes to get were announced by the Vietnamese Teamster Pension Fund Promises Plan Changes WASHINGTON (AP) The manager of the Teamsters Union's Central States Pension Fund promised changes in the plan today against a backdrop of the government's forced ouster of the fund's principal trustees. Daniel A. Shannon, executive director of the Chicago-based fund, told congressional investigators he will propose new rules next week "that will guarantee the solvency of the fund." He indicated the changes were prompted by recent actuarial reports which questioned the fund's ability to pay benefits to retirees over the long-term Hearings Underway On Marijuana Laws MISSOURI LIVESTOCK CENTER (Mo.

The Stock Market NEW 1 YORK (AP-) The market, stalled in Monday morning doldrums, moved slightly higher today. The; noon Dow Jones average of 30 industrial stocks was up 1.33 to 949.05, after a 5.74-point loss last week. 1 Gainers outnumbered losers by about 3-2 among New York Stock Exchange-listed issues. The market's light morning trading showed signs of last week's sluggishness, continuing Friday's flat day. Buyers and sellers appeared to be holding back, perhaps waiting for Friday's report on Continued From Page Gasification February's consumer price Index.

Last week the government reported wholesale prices row 0.9 per cent in 10.8 per cent annual rate of gain. The NYSE composite index of more than 1,500 common stocks rose .06 to 54.78.

Northern Boone and nearby Jioward Counties have large supplies of coal.) "The FEA has watched ielosely, and with great con- jcern as this country's energy imports continue to rise in an effort to meet increased demand," Adams said. "It is imperative that this idependence be reduced and we direct our efforts to increasing domestic production and consumption of abundant and embargo-proof source of energy.

It was this major concern wich spawned the project." Adams emphasized that once the coal was mined, the land would be restored to existing production capability and the guidelines would comply with the land legislation. Adams noted that an advisory committee was forced recently to direct more exten- sive investigation of the sister projects. The committee is comprised of representatives from municipal and investor-owned utilities, electric power cooperatives, regional planning commissions, and city governments. It will direct additional feasibility studies, cost estimates, assessments, scheduling, and securing study and planning funds. Preliminary FEA studies on the feasibility of combined power cycle-coal gasification plants, according to Adams, revealed such projects may offer an economic alternative to smaller power plants designed to burn oil or plants equipped with expensive sulfur removal devices.

Wilbur Jenny, Regional Director of the FEA Energy Resource Development Division, said, three factors provided a positive approach: Missouri's abundant coal quantities; the rural need for additional electrical generation; and the existence of necessary electrical power distribution grid. AMC Plan (Continued from Page 1) expressed doubt that such an issue would receive the necessary two-thirds majority approval. Hospital schematic plans call for 60,525 square feet of new floor space and the renovation of some existing facilities. The new facilities would be located to the west of the current building on Monroe Street. The two main expansion features would be the construction of a new operating suite, including six operating rooms, at a cost of $795,045, and movement of the hospital's power plant at a cost of $215,375 from the.

center of the existing building to the southwest corner of the expansion area. Plans also call for a $336,660 laboratory and a $540,940 radiology unit to be built on the first floor of the new facility. Also planned is an ambulance garage, to be constructed at a cost of $44,590. Epple House, which houses the City-County Health Unit in a separate building west of the main hospital, would be razed in favor of a 92-car parking lot. Harold LaPere of Hamilton, Charle, Burns and LaPere, the project architectural firm, has estimated construction costs will average $70.16.

The hospital's board of Trustees has said the project would force an increase in hospital stay expenses, although AMC Administrator Woodrow Lee has said such increases would be minimal. He said the price of a patient day probably would be raised by $6.50 to $6.75. Give us the word! We'll put you in touch with cash buyers thru want ads. Turn idle items into cash fast with a want ad.

WASHINGTON (AP) A House subcommittee opens hearings this week on proposals to decriminalize the possession of marijuana, and both chambers of Congress will decide on measures that would halt U.S. purchases of chrome from Rhodesia. The pros and cons of decriminalizing simple possession of small quantities of marijuana are to be argued before a special House committee on narcotics. The roll of witnesses scheduled to begin appearing today include law enforcement officers, medical specialists and officials from two states, California and Oregon, which have decriminalized casual use of marijuana. Bills that would restore a ban on importation of Rhodesian chrome are before the House and Senate.

The House could reach a vote late today. The Senate is not 1 expected to decide the' issue until later in the week. The pending measure would repeal the so-called Byrd amendment, by which Congress exempted the United States in 1971 from United Nations' sanctions against trade with Rhodesia. The sanctions were imposed after the white government of the former British territory unilaterally declared independence. Those who want to restore U.S.

adherence to the U.N. sanctions say such action ease efforts to work out, a peaceful settlement between the ruling white minority and Rhodesia's black majority. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance told a Senate committee that reinstatement of the would demonstrate U.S. support for black majority rule in Rhodesia. Defenders of the present policy argue that cutting off imports of Rhodesian chrome would make the United States unduly dependent on the Soviet Union, the other major supplier of the strategic material.

Congress is expected to approve the chrome measure, which has strong backing from the Carter administration. Still later in the week the Senate has scheduled debate on'a new code of ethics for its members. future. These changes, he said, will make benefits proportionate to years of service. Under current rules, retirees with 30 years' service got the same monthly benefits $550 as those with 20 or 25 years.

Shannon testified before a House Ways and Means oversight subcommittee which opened hearings into the government's enforcement of the 1974 pension reform law. The hearings followed Sunday's announcement by the Labor' Department that Teamsters President Frank E. Fitzsimmons and three other officials have agreed to resign as trustees of the fund by April 30 Bluebirds (Continued from Page 1) The bluebird is exclusively a cavity nesting bird, but at the same time its main source of food are the insects and weed seeds of the open fields and pastures. The bird is called a ground feeder and this is why we seldom see bluebirds in urban areas. pecked out by woodpeckers were its main source of nesting sites, primarily in wooden fence posts surrounding' pasture lands.

However, we seldom see wooden fence posts any more as most farmers use steel posts or electric fences and it has become difficult for the bluebird to find a place to build a nest and raise its young. Although some of the houses will be taken over by the sparrows, it is hoped that many of the houses will be used by the bluebirds to nest and raise their young last September. Since March 1974, the Vietnamese have returned the remains of 28 Americans from North Vietnam. In 1973, the names of 40 Americans who had died in captivity In South Vietnam were announced. A staff member said "it would be a real gesture of good will If we were given their remains also." All 12 of the pilots were shot down, and some were known to have survived the initial crashes.

Missouri Salary Proposals JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.

Those are the most recent national figures The ranking of judicial salaries is based on information from the National Center for State Courts compiled last October. $8,400 now 16th, proposed $15,000, would rank eighth.

$37,500 now 31st, proposed $55,000 would rank fifth. Lieutenant $16,000 now 27th among the 41 states with elected lieutenant governors, proposed $42,500 would rank fifth.

Prospects Dim For Arab-Israeli Talks By The Associated Press Prospects for Arab-Israeli peace negotiations looked less favorable today following hardening of both the Palestinian and Israeli positions. The Palestinian movement's policy-making body refused to drop the destruction of Israel as a national goal and will not discuss links with Jordan until after a Palestinian state is created, a spokesman said. Meanwhile, Premier Yitzhak Rabin said Israel won't give up as much territory as the United States wants it to and "will not return to the lines that existed before the 1967 war." There had been considerable expectation that the Palestinian National Council, at a meeting in Cairo which began Saturday, would open the way to negotiations with Israel by abandoning the destruction of the Jewish state as one of its chief goals.

It was also expected to discuss linkage with Jordan so Palestinian representatives could negotiate with Israel as part of a Jordanian delegation. Instead, spokesman Mahmoud al-Laboudy said after a meeting of the council Sunday that destruction of Israel remains a Palestinian goal. "Israel is preparing for a new war and rejects withdrawal from the occupied Arab lands," Laboudy said. "We should, therefore, be ready to face the Israeli challenge. "We should have a land first before taking up the idea of forging a government," he adde(l.

"We will not discuss at this stage the proposed formal link or federation with Jordan simply because we still have no land." Israel refuses to negotiate with the Palestinians as long as they are dedicated to ending the existence of the state of Israel. The Israelis say they won't resume peace talks in Geneva if a Palestinian delegation is invited, but they have not ruled out Palestinian representatives as part of the Jordanian delegation. Moderate Arab leaders have proposed that the Palestinians set up a government-in-exile for a future Palestinian state to be made up of the Israeli- occupied West Bank of Jordan and the Gaza Strip. Last week Palestinian leader Arafat reportedly agreed with Jordan's King Hussein on some kind of pre-Geneva linkage. Rabin, in a television interview taped during his visit to Washington last week, said Australian TV Pays His Fine President Carter in his news conference last week called on Israel to give back more of the Arab territory captured in 1967 than "we want to give." "Without any qualification, Israel will not return to the lines that existed before the 1967 war," he declared on ABC-Tv's "Issues and Answers" broadcast Sunday.

SYDNEY, Australia (AP) Australian television has paid a $100 fine levied against a man who threw a placard at Queen Elizabeth II to publicize his view that Australia should become a republic. David Roy Hughes, 29, a chemist, elected to take a 20- day jail sentence rather than pay the fine after pleading guilty to a charge of offensive behavior in Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens on Sunday. A spokesman for the queen said the sign missed the British monarch. "I knew it was soft cardboard and could not possibly hurt her," Hughes told the court. "I was motivated by the belief that an independent republic should be created soon." The magistrate said the incident had embarrassed Australia and he ordered the defendant to pay a fine of $100 or spend 20 days in jail.

"I will not pay the fine," Hughes replied. "I will go to jail." It was not explained why the television company paid his fine. The queen was in Sydney on a three-week Australian visit marking the 25th year of her reign..
