But the commission's proposal that no one should be sent to Jail for the listed marijuana, gambling and sex offenses goes well beyond the Administration stand. IT SOUNDS more like the programs of Nixon's 1972 opponent, Sen.

George McGo-vern, whom Nixonites denounced as being "soft on law-and-order." should also consider "decriminalizing" these offenses removing them, in effect, from the status of crimes. It did not specifically rec-o decriminalization, but said that if they are kept as crimes, states should "as a mimlmum" remove jail sentence from tiie list of penalties.

Although the commission i t) A 1 V5 The commission said states THE COMMISSION argued 1 I I f' I.

"For example, the threat of (jail) punishment did not end the use of liquor (during prohibition) and today it does not keep an estimated 15- to 20-million Americans a year from experimenting with or using marijuana, or preventing countless cases of illegal gambling," the report said. THE TROroSED handgun ban, virtually the strongest that could be made against pistols, was immediately denounced by the powerful National Rifle Association, which represents sportsmen and gun fanciers. Atty. Gen.

Elliot Richardson praised the commission's 316-page report, which carried dozens of wide-ranging proposals for changes in the administration of justice. But he refused to endorse or disavow specific recommendations of the report. Richardson noted that the report does not call for new federal legislation dealing with handguns. Instead it urges that the ban be implemented by state laws in each slate. HE DID not rule out additional federal legislation to regulate the ownership of handguns calling it "a subject we should try to get at" but he backed away from any endorsement of the commission's tough proposal to outlaw the ownership of such guns altogether.

The commission, headed by (See CRIMES, 25-A) ds On Papers The Panel Recommends All pistols, except for those used by the police and military should be banned by the 50 state governments not later than January 1983.

"AGNEW WANTS to be forthcoming," one of his lawyers said. "He Is seriously considering asking to flestify before the Grand Jury, even if Beall doesn't make any request." Topkis said he was considering the thorny legal question of whether a vice president can be indicted for a criminal offense without first being impeached and removed from office.

Beall has told Angew he is being investigated in connection with allegations of bribery, tax fraud and conspiracy apparently stemming from the kickback probe of government contracts in suburban Baltimore County and later at the state level when Agnew was governor of Maryland in l7and 19G8. AGNEW HAS said that he is innocent and will turn over his checkbooks and bank statements "at the appropriate time and appropriate place." But his lawyers still have not determined if Beall's fourth floor office in the old federal courthouse here is the "appropriate place." As they studied the problem, Askew flew to California to take "a couple of days off" after getting numerous telegrams and telephone calls supporting his public rebuttal of the allegations against him. Agnew left in the afternoon for Palm Springs and was expected to remain there until Sunday, according a spokesman for the vice president. He frequently spends his free timp at the resort, where singer Frank Sinatra and some other close friends have homes.

Agnew is "seriously considering" asking U.S. Atty. George Beall to let him testify in person before a federal Grand Jury here that is investigating allegations of a massive kickback scheme involving local and state officials. Attorneys for Agnew were supposed to turn over all of the vice president's financial records to Beall Thursday but have received about a week's extension.

The police lieutenant said Brooks told him that a search for bodies would not be easy at High Island "because he doesn't remember any markers and the graves will be difficult to find."

The (See BODIES. 8-A) By JOHN SAAR Washington Post Strvlct WASHINGTON Republican National Committee Chairman George Bush has reopened an investigation into allegations that a GOP official taught political "dirty tricks" during weekend seminars for college Republicans in 1971 and 1972. Some of the 1972 seminars were held after the Watergate break-in. Bush said he will urge a committee to "get to the bottom" of charges against Karl C.

MICHAEL MYERS HOUSTON (UPI) A teenager confessed to police Thursday that he, another youth and a homosexual friend killed "25 or 30" young boys over the past three years and disposed of their bodies at three burial sites in Texas. Police recovered 17 bodies in a rusty tin boat shed in Houston. Police Lt. Breck Porter said David Brooks, 18, told police that Dean Corll, 34, a bachelor electrician, and Elmer Wayne Henley, 17, a junior high school dropout, were involved in the mass murders.

"HE HAS admitted to several of the murders, along with Henley and Corll," Porter said of Brooks. "He admitted to taking part in practically all of the killings over a three-year period." Henley admitted that he knew of the slayings, but police said he blamed the murders on Corll, who Henley said was a homosexual. Henley told officers he killed Corll during a paint-sniffing sex party Wednesday. Both Henley and Brooks told police that bodies of young boys sexually molested by Corll before they were killed were buried at Lake San Rayburn, 120 miles northeast of Houston, and near High Island, up the Gulf Coast from Galveston. "HENLEY HAS confessed and admitted to knowing where at least 25 or 30 bodies are located and officers are en route to Sam Rayburn Reservoir with Henley to dig up more bodies," Porter said.

1. I ch the imiH Republican National Committee (CRNC), a GOP affiliate, from June, 1971, to February, 1972. Bush, who frequently has voiced a determination to keep the GOP free of any Watergate taint, reopened the investigation after the Washington Post drew his attention to evidence already in GOP hands. HE SAID he was unaware of a transcript of a tape recording of Rove and a second man lecturing on campaign espionage and disruption, or of two affidavits from two Republicans who swore that they heard a similar talk. The tape, a written transcript of its contents, and the affidavits were supplied to the Washington Post by an anonymous caller who accused Bush's committee of "sweeping the matter under the carpet." Rove said the tape recording may be false or altered.

However, Bernie Robinson, a former CRNC member from Chicago whose lecture on "dirty tricks" is recorded on the tape, said that the transcript and tape given to the Post are a "fair representation" of the talk. A report by the GOP committee clearing Rove of the "dirty tricks" charges and recommending his confirmation as chairman of the CRNC was awaiting Bush's approval (See 'DIKTYJRICKS, 14-A) 4 i xxS. 1 Can doctoral tapes be detected? Sec 6-A. By MIKE FEINSILBER WASHINGTON (LTD -The Senate Watergate committee sued President Nixon Thursday in an attempt to compel him to release his tape-recorded conversations with aides about Watergate-related subjects. The complaint asked the U.S.

After the suit was filed, three attorneys for the com-milee went to the Executive Office Building adjacent to the White House and served the court papers on three Nixon lawyers, Leonard Garment, J.
