HONG KONG (UPI) The Hong Kong Star said today a top Red Chinese general has been holding secret talks with Russia on possible Soviet aid to forces opposing Mao Tse- tung.

The Star, a sensational English-language newspaper, identified the Chinese general as Gen. Kwok Pang, a chief aide to Gen. Wang En-mao, military commander of the northwestern Chinese province of Smkiang, where Peking's nuclear arsenal is stored. Meanwhile, wall posters in Peking today told of an abortive coup against Mao last year by four former high-ranking Chinese Communist party officials. Japanese correspondents in the Chinese capital said the posters listed the coup plotters as former Peking mayor Oeng Chen, former propaganda chief Lu Ting-i, ex-army chief of staff Lo Jui-ching and Yang Shang-kun, a former alternate member of the powerful party politburo.

All the plotters have fallen victim to Mao's raging power purge. According to the wall newspapers, defense minister Lin Piao, Mao's heir apparent, said the plotters tried to mobilize a division of army troops to seize control of Peking, but last minute counter-moves by Mao's supporters saved the day. The Chinese-Russian talks reportedly took place in Ulan Bator, the capital of Outer Mongolia. That Central Asian nation lies wedged between Russia and China and is considered pro-Soviet.

Opponents of the approved route have advocated moving it from the east side of White River to the west side. The commission's hearing, according to Alfred H. Edel- son, president, was to review the interstate program in Marion County and Indianapo lis.

Edelson said after the 3-hour hearing that the next step will be to get two consulting firms which have conflicting views together with the Plan Commission in an effort to reach an agreement on any recommended changes. He said he does not think work the northwest segment should be stopped in the meantime. NOT ENOUGH INTERCHANGES' In addition to the northwest leg of Interstate 65, Joyner said, all freeway routes here are, in general, all right as proposed but, he added, the number of interchanges contemplated on some of the freeways is inadequate. He said consideration should be given to constructing "a high capacity route" somewhere between 10th and 16th extending westward from the vicinity of the northwest corner of the inner loop, possibly as far as proposed Ind. 37 on the west side of White River.

Another proposal, he said, is to construct a west leg of the inner loop as a one-way pair system. Broken lines show 38TH ST gf J- 3 CU cV 30TH ST. TT- TAT3AR?

Joyner said he does not believe the city will need a freeway system both east and west of the river by 1985.

Joyner said the study showed the first should be built east of the river along the route already approved. The firm, he said, also recommends as essential the construction of a northeast leg of the inner loop extending from downtown and connecting with Interstate 69. A representative of Victor Gruen Associates, a California consulting firm, made a report on the proposed Indiana Purdue westside campus. The firm's preliminary reports have indicated it favors changing the Interstate 65 route to the west side of the river. The Gruen firm recommended that 'both the west section of the downtown loop and the northwest leg be on the west side of White River.

Robert Whitehead, chairman of the Indiana Highway Commission, read a statement, saying in part: "The present location and design of the Interstate system was chosen only after a careful analysis of traffic studies, present and future land use, neighborhood structure, future development, right-of-way cost, construction cost and other factors.

Pieces of the shattered plane hung from a tree along Sheridan Road. Morning rush hour traffic was bottled up for miles.

Herman Levenson said the falling chunks of the plane narrowly missed hitting him as he prepared to get into his car on the building's driveway. "I heard a deafening sound," he said. "A couple of pieces of the plane fell close to me." Ex-Pitcher's Restaurant Hit By Fire BALTIMORE (AP) An eight-alarm fire today destroyed the interior of baseball pitcher Milt Pappas' restaurant. Two firemen received minor injuries. Pappas had personally locked the 4-story building in downtown Baltimore less than 10 minutes before the first alarm was sounded at 2:23 a.m.

The brick front of the build ing impaired firefighting ef forts. Windows which had been bricked in had to be knocked out by mauls, and later with air hammers, and it was an hour before firemen could effectively get at the fire in the front. An alley only 8 feet wide runs behind the struc ture, and this was too narrow for fire trucks. Hoses had to be dragged up the alley, and hand ladders had to be used to reach the upper floors.

The dead were identified as Charles Brickner, Sheboygan Falls, and Clarence Elliott, Kiel, Wis. Elliott was registered as the pilot when the airplane took off from Meigs Field, onf the lakefront, about 8 miles" south of the crash site. Witnesses said the plane, a Piper Cheropee, came in off Lake Michigan on a wandering westward course. It side-swiped the 15th floor of the Hollywood Towers, a "high-rise" apartment building at the intersection of Lake Shore Drive and Sheridan Road.

The blow knocked off the plane's right wing, which plummented into a vacant lot on the other side of the street. The lot is the only unoccupied piece of land west of Lake Michigan for blocks. A spokesman at Meigs Field said Elliott took off about 7:30 a.m. A dense fog developed rapidly minutes afterward, he said. Witnesses said the pilot veered widely off course in the thickening fog.

It appeared he realized his error too late and tried to gain altitude while flying between the building's two towers. The towers were described as only about 30 feet apart. "I heard the plane," said Elaine Edelman, manager of the building. "I could tell he was flying too low. As soon as I heard the crash I ran out there.
