PHILADELPHIA In the summer of 1778 delegates from 13 colonies came here with radical ideas in mind; a revolution followed. Two centuries later, to commemorate that revolution, another group of delegates may come here to plot another kind of change.

THE IDEA of a "Congress of Ideas" grew out of the shattered hopes for an international exposition here to celebrate the 200th birthday of the United States. John R. Bunting, chairman of the Philadelphia 1976 Bicentennial has proposed thai a Congress of Ideas meet In 1974 and 1975 to prepare an "Agenda for Action" which could be decided in 1976 and presented to Congress in 1977. Buntings corporation devoted most of its energy and $3.5 million to plans for an international exposition here, until the exposition was killed by President Nixon on. May 22.

The President's action came a week after Ihe American Revolulion Bicentennial commission, appointed by Nixon, recommended against the Philadelphia extravaganza in favor of smaller celebrations in several cities. "I'd like to see the next president of the United States designate Philadelphia as the place at whicn a meeting could be held culminating in 1976, to reassess the American value system," Bunting said. "PEOPLE ARE disenchanted with the economic and social system in the United States Vietnam, lawlessness, blacks, the disenchanted young, middle-class concern that the rich have loopholes and the poor have welfare. "The disenchantment is growing. I'd like to see the next president indicate Philadelphia would be the scene of a meeting, reminiscent of the original meetings, with delegates from each state, outstanding minds brought here to present papers, a list of proposals," he said.

Bunting said that if something like his Congress of Ideas does not happen over the next few years, the "sag in confidence in our institutions will pave the way for demagogues and truly revolutionary changes in our American civilization." Bunting's corporation once hoped for an international extravaganza, to be held in Philadelphia, celebrating the nation's bicentennial. BUNTING FEELS the exposition may be revived if Mr. Nixon is defeated in November. But the possibility of such a revival, at least in terms of an internationally sanctioned exposition, seems remote. As it was, Philadelphia's plan suffered partly because they were submitted late not early this year.

Philadelphia Mayor Frank Rizzo has said he intends to "let things ride until we know what we are going to have." ARBC officials say it's up to Rizzo to tell them of the city's plans, and so far they haven't heard from him. Plans are moving along in Boston, Washington and Miami, MM UPI Ttl.photo TOKYO (UPI) Fifteen American pilots captured in North Vietnam in the past three months were shown to newsmen at a press conference In Hanoi Thursday evening, the Vietnam News agency said today. VNA, monitored in Tokyo, said their at the press conference was "convincing proof of the defeats sustained by the Nixon administration in North Vietnam in the past three months." VNA devoted its report on the press conference for the most part on the speech by Ngo Dien, head of the press and information department of the North Vietnamese foreign ministry. Ngo Dien said President Nixon ordered the "escalation of the war in Vietnam because his Vietnamization policy was irremediably going to its doom, and the puppet army and administration continued to fall asunder."

It is the goal of every American to end this war, and, as you know the only sure way to do this is withdrawal of American forces from Vietnam." Navy Lt. Carroll Robert Beeler of Missouri, quoted as saying: "I feel that dus war is a long, unpopular war and regardless of our reasons for being involved along these years, it has drawn out too long by now. It is a known fact that two points will stop this war; one, the removal of all U.S. troops; and two, the withdrawal of our support to the present regime in South Vietnam." USAF MAJ.

James Phillip Padgett, Florida, told the press conference, "I feel it necessary for all Americans to vote to end the war." USAF Capt.

The American chess genius considers the world championship match a mere formality. HE HAS SAID time and again that if he just gets a shot at the 35-year-old champion, he is certain of defeating him. If he succeeds and there are many experts who believe he will he will become the second Anglican world champion in the long history of chess and the first non-Russian to rule as champion since Max Euwre of the Netherlands held the title briefly in the 1930s.

And the federal government is now working on a feasibility study of the "Bicentennial Park Concept" which would give plots of 150 to 500 acres of government land to states for state parks.

The American Revolution Bicentennial Commission is working on other areas, sanctioning such activities as the 1976 Winter Olympics in Denver and improvement of Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota.
