Five Routes Added To Railpax WASHINGTON (UPI) The Transportation Department, reacting to public pressure, has expanded the new national rail passenger train network to include-almost every major long-distance passenger route now in operation.

Although precise routes and schedules will not be known for some time, the final 21-route network of the semi-public Rail Passenger Corp. (Railpax) would eliminate only one long-distance link now served by first class streamlined passenger trains New York to Montreal. Despite the expansion, only about half the trains, running today will be required to run the new system. This will be accomplished through elimination of secondary routes and a decrease in the number of trains on some routes. Transportation Secretary John A.

Volpe Thursday announced five new routes in addition to the 16 in the preliminary system announced in November Seattle to San Diego, New Orleans to Los Angeles, Washington to Chicago, New York to Kansas City, and Norfolk to Cincinnati. Volpe also said at a news conference he would recommend the Railpax board consider continuing the Montreal route on its own initiative, in addition to another Canadian route to Vancouver, B.C., and a route into Mexico at Laredo, Tex. The Transportation Depart-in originally estimated about 150 of the 360 long distance trains now in operation would be continued. Volpe strongly denied he had bowed to political pressure to expand the route system. Two of French Quintuplets Die GRENOBLE, France (AP) Two of the quintuplets born Thursday to a schoolteacher died during the night.

Both were boys. The remaining boy and two girls were in incubators, and doctors would not indicate their chances of survival. The 29-year-old mother, Michele Riondet, was reported very weak. Mrs. Riondet and her husband, Jean-Francois, 30, have a 3-year-old son.

She had taken none of the fertility drugs which have been responsible for many multiple births in recent years. Riondet is an industrial designer.

Joseph Little and their four children were driven from their home at 2533 Foxhall Drive when the trash bag caught fire.

Company 7 Sgt.

Rene T. Richardson, 3008 S. 18th was treated and released from Home Hospital for burns to his face and hands received while fighting the $55,000 Wreck Suit Resumes Here Tuesday A new jury will be impan- eled in Superior Court 2 Tuesday when a damage suit trial, recessed two months ago, is scheduled to resume. The suit involving a claim for $55,000 was recessed 2 when the plaintiff allegedly discovered a new witness to a 1964 accident. The witness, a Vietnam veteran, had been undiscovered until the trial was in its second day.

The case involves a $50,000 suit filed by Dennis E. Ad-kins, 1701 Shenadoah Drive and a companion suit of $5,000 filed by his father, Wil-ford Adkins, against Mrs. Pamela Ruth Hiatt, Rt. 12. The Adkins suits claim damages are due them as a result of an accident in which a car driven by Mrs.

Hiatt struck a motorcycle ridden by Dennis Adkins at Tenth and North streets. Superior Court 2 Judge Jack King had granted a continuance in the case to allow defense and plaintiff's attorneys to check the new witness' testimony. He said a new jury is necessary since the previous one heard only two days of testimony and the situation calls for the trial to begin anew. Morton Approved, Faces Big Issues WASHINGTON (AP) Secretary of Interior Rogers C. B.

Morton, confirmed by the Senate Thursday, faces two immediate issues concerning oil and the environment. The Maryland congressman and former Republican national chairman must decide whether to continue or cancel oil leases in California's Santa Barbara Channel, and whether to approve a proposed $l-billion oil pipeline across Alaska. His decisions, either way, will draw controversy. The Senate, by voice vote without dissent, confirmed Morton as the first Easterner in decades to head the Interior Department. AT THE fjM a.m.

The local reservoir was credited with $800,000 to launch land acquisition and construction. This money had been authorized during the last two years by Congress, but had not been released for use by the President and the Bureau of the Budget. The Wildcat project was among 13 Indiana flood control projects authorized for expenditures during the next fiscal year.

The year begins July 1.x The President recommended-a total of $51,664,000 in construction by the Army Corps of Engineers for Indiana. The figure is more than double last year's authorizations.

"The purpose of the meetings is a private discussions of the efforts that are being made in my behalf." The Hoosier Democrat said the time when a decision must be made "is still some time away and I hope to have the chance to visit with you in the near future."

The sale would represent the fund's entire portfolio of common stocks.

The decision was announced at a meeting continued to Thursday from the trustees' monthly session last week.

A PRODUCT OF AMERICAN slvl All Ul Teacher Fund To Sell Its Stock Holdings INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) Nearly $23 million worth of common stock in the Indiana State Teachers Retirement Fund will be sold and the money will be reinvested in short-term: bonds or certificates until the fund adopts a new investment policy. Fund trustees said Thursday their future course will take into consideration the "legislative climate" and the extent of future funding.

The switch in investments, however, would give the fund sufficient liquidity to meet the $3 million monthly payroll to retired teachers. The impending transaction would result in a profit of $577,000, slightly less than 3 per cent. The side was recommended by John Vollertson, one of three consultants assigned to the fund by Scudder, Stevens Clark, of Chicago, the investment firm handling the account. The firm said the switch in investments would alleviate the necessity of liquidating long-term securities at present depressed market prices. "This sale is premised on SHOWN ABOUT 7:10 P.M.
