The woods and hills that might be hiding 5-year-old Keith Holliday were scoured by hundreds of volunteers. The search went nationwide, the Hollidays offering a $10,000 reward.

Ads with the boy's picture, paid for by contributions from around the country, were placed in major metropolitan papers. Judy Holliday vowed for several days that the family Christmas tree would stay up until her son returned. The decorations eventually were put away. It had been three months since Keith disappeared last Dec. 21.

His body was found Tuesday, after Mrs. Holliday mother looked out the kitchen window and saw a blue cap floating on the slowly-thawing backyard swimming pool. "We haven't performed an autopsy but it looks like an accidental Campbell County Coroner Fred Stine said. "He apparently fell in over the side. He couldn't have stood up since the water was at least four feet high.

The water was very cold so he must have died pretty quickly." Kentucky State Police Lt. John Akers said the 16-foot wide pool had been searched several times since Keith disappeared. The above-ground pool is not fenced and has no ladder. "There was layer of algae that is probably the reason we were not able to see him before now," Akers said. Ironically, the youngster was afraid of the pool, according to the Hollidays' next -door neighbor, Margie Collins.

"Water was the only thing he was afraid of as far as I know," she said. "The only time he'd go into the pool is with a life preserver and he'd come out quickly." When Mrs. Holliday spotted Keith's cap, she called the Collinses. "Judy said she thought she found something but that she didn't want to go back," Mrs. Collins said.

Charles Collins went to the pool and found Keith's 11-year-old brother Kevin pulling the cap with a shovel. "I took it away from him. He just thought it was a cap, he didn't know his brother was under it," Collins said. Collins himself had helped searchers probe the pool with shovels the day Keith was reported missing. "They searched that pool a couple more times after that and never did find anything that was suspicious," he said.

The youngster's father, Michael Holliday, told a news conference that it was "a trying time," but thanked reporters for their efforts in trying to find his son. William Lai noted career in baseball William "Bucky" Lai Sr. of Audubon, who played professional and semi-professional baseball in Hawaii and the mainland United States, died Tuesday at home.

Mr. Lai played professional baseball with the Philadelphia Phillies during the, 1918 season and with the New York Giants during the 1928 season.

The zenith of his playing career was his tenure with semiprofessional teams, such as the Bushwick Club of New York and the Philadelphia Terminal Club. Mr. Lai also managed several semi-professional teams. His son, William T. Jr.

of Brookville, N.Y., was a standout in baseball, basketball, football and track during his years at Audubon High School from 1932 to 1936. Besides his son, Mr. Lai is survived by his wife of 63 years, Isabel. World In Brief Gunmen grab $1 million ST.

Bolivia needs weapons LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) President Hugo Banzer said Tuesday land-locked Bolivia must acquire more weapons to strengthen its "right" to a corridor to the Pacific Ocean.

He bore a here late Tuesday after a flight from scar on his head and a U--shaped scar Havana via Jamaica. on his chest that he said came from Shackled hand and foot and that 1974 prison disturbance. wearing blue jump suits furnished by federal marshals, the fugitives were somber as U.S. District Judge Howell Melton ordered bonds of $250,000 for Paulsboro five men and $500,000 for another.

The six were wanted for five tax rate due hijackings between 1969 and 1971 years travel when rebels violence and stalked revolutionaries air to rise as commandeered afrplanes in searchof PAULSBORO Less than two new, exotic lives in faroff lands. Most found only disillusionment. "They are using us as political pawns," Jesus Garland Grant, 28, of Milwaukee told an interviewer in Havana in 1977. "I feel inside that I'm dead." Grant, a onetime Black Panther who has freely discussed hijacking a Northwest Airlines plane from Milwaukee on Jan. 22, 1971, was one of the half -dozen fugitives shepherded into court.

The other five were identified by a Justice Department spokesman as Richard Witt, indicted for air piracy in Philadelphia in 1970; Angel Casado and Rudolfo Rivera-Rios, both indicted in Brooklyn in 1971; and Larry Brooks, 34, and Nobel Mason III, both indicted in Tampa in 1969. Morris said Brooks and Mason would be moved to Tampa for arraignment later this week. He said hearings would be held, possibly next week, on removal of the other four to the cities where they are charged. Under federal skyjacking law, conviction could bring a death sentence, though the FBI has said all persons previously convicted have been sentenced to life in prison. The six were originally expected back in the United States March 9 on an Air Canada flight from Hayana to Montreal, then New York.

But Air Canada declined to carry the fugitives, saying security precautions were not satisfactory. Tuesday's trip was by Air Havana from Havana to Kingston, Jamaica, where U.S. Marshal George Grosse and a squad of eight deputies took custody of the six fugitives, searched them and passed out matching blue garb. Judge Melton quizzed each man, asking about money or possessions. All were declared indigent, though some said they had small amounts of cash before fleeing the United States.

weeks after defeating it, borough council Tuesday night adopted a $1 million 1978 municipal budget that will mean a 1-cent increase in the local purpose tax rate. Under a new rate of 58 cents per $100 assessed valuation, owners of homes assessed at $20,000 will pay $116 in local purpose taxes in 1978, an increase of $2. Council voted 3-2 March 9 to defeat the budget because Mayor John Burzichelli had increased police salaries 20 percent, from $304,000 to $367,000 for the 20 officers on the force. Councilman Francis Turton said his main objection to the budget had been the increase in police salaries while the remainder of the budget stayed the same. Burzichelli said Tuesday night there were no changes in police salaries or in any other portion of the budget, except a transfer of $2,000 from the borough coordinator's salary to the recreation department.

Council plans to hire the borough coordinator this year.
