More than 300 persons paid up to $5 apiece Wednesday night to crowd into the sanctuary of Glide Memorial Methodist Church for the first national hookers' convention.

They applauded a three-hour program that ranged from bawdy songs to belly dancing to serious appeals for legalized prostitution. The audience was made up mainly of young men and women sympathetic to the hookers' plight and included far more press than prostitutes. Most of the plunging necklines and outlandish hairdos were sported by men. The festive affair was the brainchild of Margo St. James, a former prostitute who founded a local hooker's union called Coyote.

She said the group was named for the crafty, promiscuous wild animal and also stands for "Call Off Your Old Tired Ethics." Jean Powell, head of a Coyote-offshoot called Prostitutes of New York, said inflation and high unemployment was "making prostitution an economic necessity for many of the 20,000 known hookers in New York City."

Brother, Sisters And Their Families Steel Prices Go Up Again PITTSBURGH, Pa. (AP) Price increases announced by U.S. Steel Corp. for a wide range of products might foreshadow higher consumer prices for automobiles and appliances. The company's second price hike this month, announced Wednesday and effective Monday, also affjBcts rails and plate steel used in construction.

The corhpany said the price boosts averaged 15 per cent. U.S. Steel had boosted prices 8 per cent on June 11. The firm refused to say what precipitated the price hike, which averages 5.5 per cent over the total product line. A spokesman also refused to say what effect the price increases might have on prices for consumer goods.

But the nation's largest steelmaker said the revised prices "remain generally below those now being charged by competition. Bethlehem, the No. steelmaker, increased prices by about the same amount on Monday. Vote To Extend Benefits For Korean And Vietnam Vets WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate has passed unanimously and sent to the House legislation to keep benefits from expiring for four million veterans who served between 1955 and 1966. The measure would affect immediately some 206,000 post-Korea veterans and 79,000 Vietnam-era veterans currently receiving education benefits under the Bill.

Without the extension, their benefits would expire automatically after this week. The Senate action came Wednesday as the Senate and House veterans affairs committees remained deadlocked on how much veterans' benefits should be boosted over-all. The Senate bill would increase Gl Bill benefits by 18.2 per cent, offer veterans up lo $720 a year in tuition costs, provide as much as $2,000 a year in federal loans and expand the maximum lime period for benefits from 36 to 45 months. The House has approved a bill to provide a 13.6 per cent cost of living increase. The House bill, however, would not provide tuition grants, loans and a longer benefits period.

Also on Wednesday, the Senate passed unanimously and sent to the White House a bill appropriating funds for 15 to 18 per cent cost-of- living increases to some 2.2 million disabled veterans nnd 375,000 widows, children and parents of men who died of service-connected causes. President Nixon last month signed legislation authorizing the boosts. Illinois Extended Outlook Partly cloudy with possibly a few showers Saturday, then fair Sunday and Monday.

Mts Vsnioiii Hie GIFTWIAPPRIf CHICAGO (AP) The Illinois Commerce Commission announced today it will make it easier for consumers to establish credit with utility companies and harder for utilities to cut off service for nonpayment of bills and related causes. ICC Chairman Marvin Lieberman said the revisions in regulations resulted from public hearings held throughout the state and will become effective Oct.

1. He said the new regulations will apply to gas, electric, telephone, heating, sewer, water and cooling utilities. The changes included: additional ways for a custoiper to establish credit: an advance payment deposit based on 30 days of service, ownership of the dwelling for which service sought and by being a member of a Composite Credit Group. The two present ways are retained: satisfactory credit references and a cash deposit based on the billing period plus 45 days. requirement that companies give customers 21 days to pay their bills instead of the present 10.

requirement that electric service cannot be denied for nonpayment of gas service, or other combinations of utility services. requirement that uniform cutoff notices printed in black on a red background be delivered separately from all other materials and bills. The notice would have to give the customer specific information on the disconnection and on the method for reconnection. requirement that utility companies give customers one free reconnection per year. prohibition against using a disputed bill in excess of a norrnal bill as a reason for disconnection.

More About KERNER treated Kerner for a coronary attack last month. The report said Kerner required frequent check-ups and a special diet. "It is hoped that stresses and strains in Judge Kerner's life can be held to a minimum," the physician said. "We urgently submit to the court the unfairness of risking Kerner's life by imprisonment," the attorneys added. -The motion also said Kerner has as executor of his late wife's estate to his two children as well as creditors and other beneficiaries of the estate.

"No other member of the family is capable of ing these responsibilities," the motion said. The motion concluded that, "There can be no greater punishnrient than the demise of a public person's reputation for honesty. That punishment will survive and overshadow any time in prison." Isaacs' motion asked for leniency on the grounds that his wife was ill and had no other means of support. It also said Isaacs has a "migraine condition" caused by a constriction of blood vessels and a latent diabetic condition, both of which "require frequent medical attention."

We already have six or eight major pieces of legislation facing us in the Senate, and it just can't be done." Harris has been critical of the House for failing to act on measures he considers important until the closing days of the session. The legislature is expected to adjourn Sunday, but Harris contends th Senate will leave "before June 30." The sales tax relief plan which cleared the House was sponsored by Rep. James Houlihan, D- Chicago, with the backing of Gov.

Daniel Walker. As Walker proposed it, the legislation would eliminate the 5 per cent sales tax on medicine, prescription and non-prescription. But the House amended the bill before it was passed lo include a one cent on the dollar reduction in the tax on food bought at grocery stores. Republicans also succeeded in deleting from the tax bill the elimination of the sales tax on prescription drugs. "With this legislation, we are achieving tax reform as well as tax relief," Houlihan said.

"The sales tax on food and drugs two of the necessities of life is a regressive tax which imposes the greatest burden on those least able to pay." In other action, the House approved a measure to raise the income tax for cor- portations. The measure would require a constitutional change which could not be completed until 1976 to take effect.
