The hookers are coming to Washington to mount a national campaign to decriminalize prostitution and they figure the best place to start is where the laws are madeVsays Margo St.

Miss St. James is the founder or "chairinadam" as she puts it--of "Call Off Your Old Tired Ethics" a San Francisco-based group which says the criminal stigma should be removed from prostitution. The convention, scheduled for June 25-26, will" be open to the public since "we want commu- nity participation," Miss St.

The theme of the gathering, the organizer said, willjbe "Ignorance is no excuse fot a law," a play on words of judge's customary admonishment: "Ignorance of the law is no excuse." It's debatable how Washington will accept the unconventional convention, and the problems seem to havp begun. First of state laws govern prostitution, it's unclear what conventioneers expect Congress to do. And then there's the question of where the convention wll be held. Miss St.

Despite his criticism of U.S.

policy in the Middle East, it was assumed this meant rapprochement with the United States, Japan and Western Europe as well as continued hostility toward the Soviet Union.

Bautzer, a Los Angeles attorney who did legal work for Hughes for 25 years, confirmed that the box at the South Hollywood branch of the Bank of America had been opened but didn't say what it contained. Bautzer said the search for the document may be complicated because he believes Hughes probably wrote the will in his own handwriting without witnesses.

He said Hughes asked him in person and by telephone many times about the legality of holographic (unwitnessed) wills. He said such wills are legal and, could be prepared without knowledge of any other person. But Dietrich says it's unlikely Hughes would have left a secret handwritten will prepared without the aid of typists or attorneys. meeting will be at a staid local hotel, and the New York travel agent responsible for the booking says she has received written confirmation from the hotel for the Feminist Party Convention, the name under which the hookers' convention was booked.

Most Britons view the royal establishment with quiet pride'. "She's good value for money she is," one young Londoner said.

Millions still follow the unfolding royal story as if it was their favorite soap opera. The queen and her family are still persistent headline-makers Britain and among the country's crowd pullers. Thousands throng the Mall and Whitehall every year for the queen's coach ride in October to open Parliament and the Tropping of the Color for the official celebration of her birthday in June, when the weather is most likely to be good. The queen's oldest son ana heir, Prince Charles, has matured into a serious, 27-year-old man with all the, attributes Britons look for in a monarch -good looks, a sense of humor, tact, a quick mind and a talent for making people feel at ease; This has prompted some speculation that his mother may abdicate some day in his favdri But despite the prince's popularity, most Britons Would probably not favor the change for many years to come. The queen has been less lucky in her younger sister, Princess Margaret, who has presented her with the 1 two biggest crises of her reign.

Fraudulent chain letters have, been around for many years, but odds are better now that you may receive one, this time with a Bicentennial theme, according to Postmaster Paul Smith.

"A scheme, which involves the mailing 'of Savings Bonds, has shown up in major urban of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maryland, Virginia and Florida," the postmaster said. letter with the Bicentennial gimmick," Smith explained, "urges those receiving it to mail $2 $1 for each 100 years to the person whose name is first on the list in celebration of our nations' 200th birthday." Inspector C. Neil Benson has informed us that actual profits from chain letters are usually obtained only by those who originate or enter the scheme very Chain letters requesting money or other items of value are non-mailable the Federal Mail' Fraud Statute. considered to be fraudulent because of the likelihood that the chain will be broken and most participants will get nothing from their involvement. chain letter requires each of its recipients to.

sell or mail copies to a specified number flf'others, who would also be asked to continue the chain of mailings. Usually, the chain expands so rapidly that the number of prospects is soon For example, a chain letter requiring. each purchaser to send copies to six others would theoretically reach the entire literate population of the earth by the time it reached its 12th link. The fact that chain letters are mailed.does not exclude the scheme from being a violation of law if the scheme involves the bonds or other valuable items. On the other hand, so-called chain letters which call for nothing more than recipes, picture post cards and the like, are ordinarily considered to be mailable because the items sent do not constitute a "thing under applicable law.

However, 'postal cards involving "good luck" chain prayers that contain a threat of bad luck to those who break.the chain are prohibited because it is against the law to place threatening matter on the outside of mail. Postmaster Smith cautioned the" public to be especially alert for numerous current chain letters' which'contain a claim that they have been reviewed by some legal authority and officially approved for mailing. "This is not true," Smith said, "and I would appreciate having all chain letters received in this area promptly- turned over to me or Postal Inspectors so that we can help protect the public this illegal activity."
