Randal Washington Post PARIS France's most notorious murderer and his accomplice were guillotined yesterday morning in the first executions since president Georges Pompidou took office in 1969.

Claude Buffet, 39, and Roger Bontemps, 36, were executed at dawn in the presence of their lawyers who earlier this month had personally pleaded with Pompidou to commute their sentences to life imprisonment. The lawyers had hoped that Pompidou would spare the two men's lives and thus in effect abolish the death penalty. Of non-Communist European countries only France, Greece and Spain still practice capital punishment. Buffet, who refused the ritual glass of rum, took communion and went courageously to his death at 4:13 a.m. saying: "I want to be the last condemned man executed in France." Bontemps followed seven minutes later.

Buffet, who had asked to be executed otherwise "I'll start all over again" was not granted his wish to be guillotined facing up rather than down as the law requires. "I dream of being able to watch the blade and being able to see it fall on my neck," he told a court which in June condemned him. He had slit the throats of the guard and nurse he and Bontemps held hostage as police stormed the "i'f iff Hp i cases! ft; yL it fani. aaaawfe mmkx ff tCHWMIWTIWMMlWr" i i -9- wjc my- i ft THE NATION'S TREE Seventy-foot Wyoming White House to serve as National Christmas Tree, spruce is hoisted into place on the Ellipse near the President Nixon will light the tree on Dec. 15.

Fugitive gave up to keep trust Concord Reformatory inmate Michael Feeley voluntarily returned to prison Monday because he regretted betraying the trust of prison officials who had furloughed him the day he broke out with 13 others, Feeley's brother said yesterday. Robert Feeley of Fra-mingham quoted his younger brother as saying: "I don't understand why I betrayed the trust they in me. I'm glad some people have some faith in me. I didn't think anyone did." Robert Feeley said his brother was given an eight-hour furlough Nov. 21 to visit their mother, who was recuperating at her home on Gardner Street in Arlington after a cancer operation.

Michael Feeley, 23, is serving 25 to 40 years for an armed robbery during which his two codefen-dants raped the victim. Behind bars since he was 19, Feeley served the first three years at Walpole and Norfolk before being transferred to Concord. He escaped a few hours after returning to Concord from the furlough. Nine of the others are still at large.

John R. Coakley, assistant director of the Boston School Dept's. Educational Planning Center, made the remarks in his second day of testimony about the plan in Suffolk Superior Court. He continued a theme he introduced at Monday's session when he told the court that existing physical objects, including highways and parks, as well as distances from schools, would require extensive busing in seven of 30 proposed elementary school districts. Yesterday Coakley was questioned by Boston schools counsel Stephen Olesky.

He said that, using estimates supplied by a consultant to the state board, transportation costs would rise to about $3 million for 13,000 elementary and intermediate students, as opposed to the current $700,000 for about 4000 students. lncfarf of hirinff ureSnL YmtA i4 nrnfaectAnil ramnatitiw. shoppers, we make the above free champagne otter.

While two members of the three selectmen expressed surprise at the letter, Selectman Edward F. Galotti blamed the impending resignations of his two colleagues. Galotti said, "Chairman Daniel Needham Jr. and Selectman William B. Boundy several times seemed to circumvent or undermine the Personnel Board I admire (the Personnel Board's) courage and integrity in refusing to become mere rubber stamps for the ruling majority at Town Hall." Formed two years ago, the Personnel Board is charged with studying town personnel administration and recommending classification of positions to include minimum and maximum salaries.

The letter claims opposition by the selectmen, and some town department managers. The five members of the Belmont Personnel Board, claiming opposition and communications difficulties with selectmen and town department have announced their intention to resign. In a letter delivered Monday night to the Board of Selectment, the Personnel Board members said they "propose to suspend all developing programs."
