Most of them, he said, are Colorado State University students trying to find work during the six-week recess between fall and winter quarters.

Air travel faces major changes, professor says United Press International Fuel shortages may force major changes in the national a air transportation system, including the virtual abandonment of short-haul air service, according to an aeronautics expert at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Joseph V.

Vittek an assistant professor of aeronautics and astronautics, says fuel savings through new technology might cut US airline fuel needs in half by the year 2000. But he warned that the government's major technological efforts in the near future will most likely be directed at fuel savings for automobiles. If the investment in aircraft technology isn't made, energy shortages may eventually hurt the industry, Vittek said in an article in the journal, Transportation Research. The air system "as we know it today will change and short-haul service will be virtually eliminated," he said. "Only with adequate planning will viable short-haul alternatives be available and the longhaul air system preserved." He said planning should begin now to provide alternatives to short-haul service and also to preserve long-haul service.

But he warned that in the event of a worsening fuel shortage, short-haul service could be doomed no matter what policies the government adopts. "The industry may have to concede -haul markets to other modes (of transportation) in order to protect its longhaul superiority," he said, adding that the best interests of the airlines are served in the long run by assuring adequate fuel for long-haul service. The ornate Winchester family residence in San Jose, Calif. (AP) The house that widow built for friendly ghosts to haunt By Charles Hillinger Los Angeles Times SAN JOSE For half a century people have visited the strange house probably the most bizarre private residence ever built and left wondering what it was all about. The Old House has 160 rooms, 10,000 windows, 40 bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, 47 fireplaces, 40 staircases and nine kitchens.

And it has had only one resident a 4 foot, 10 inch, 95-pound widow. She was Sarah Pardee Winchester, heiress to the Winchester Arms fortune. Workmen toiled around the clock to add to the sprawling house throughout the years that the mysterious recluse lived there, allegedly because she had been told by. a Boston spiritualist that she would live as long as work continued on the residence, but she died there anyway in 1922 at the age of 85. Her death brought an end to the sound of saws and hammers of 16 carpenters who had worked around the clock every day, including holidays for 38 years.

It is said she spent $5.5 million of her $20 million inheritance building and furnishing the mansion, partially hidden behind towering trees and shrubs to keep the curious from looking in. During a 1903 visit to San Jose, President Theodore Roosevelt drove by the house and expressed an interest in meeting the mistress of the mansion and seeing the wonders of her work. She refused, replying that her home was not open to strangers. There are scores of fascinating balconies, turrets and towers. A stairway with seven turns and 44 steps rises only nine feet.

A spiral staircase with 42 steps, each step two inches high. Stairways that lead nowhere and melt into walls and ceilings. A linen closet as big as a three-room apartment and a cupboard next to it less than an inch deep. A magnificent grand ballroom with hand-carved walls and a ceiling made of 19 different rare woods imported from various parts of the world. Why did she do it? The spiritualist claimed she warned Mrs.

Winchester that vengeful ghosts of thousands of men, women and children killed by her husband's guns would never leave her alone. The medium is supposed to have suggested that Mrs. Winchester would come to no harm if she built a haunted house for friendly ghosts who would ward off, the unfriendly spirits. Mrs. Winchester kept no written records, no diaries or letters.

Whatever her reasons for building the strange house, she never confided to her large staff of employees. Occult signs, however, are everywhere in evidence. The spider web pattern, Mrs. Winchester's favorite design, is seen throughout the house on doors, windows, ceilings, floors and walls. Most windows have 13 panes; nearly all walls 13 panels; chandeliers, 13 globes, stairs, 13 steps.

There are 13 bathrooms. One room is filled with trapdoors. There are secret passageways and a mysterious blue seance room supposedly entered only by the tiny widow. Mrs. Winchester was an accomplished organist and often could be heard playing favorite melodies in the early hours of the morning.

A bell in one of the towers was said to have been tolled by one of her servants each midnight to welcome incoming flights of good spirits and again at 2 a. m. as the ghosts returned to their sepulchres. In her lifetime, Mrs: Winchester was an extremely generous person, contributing much of her inheritance to charitable groups. In 1911 she established the William Wirt Winchester Memorial Sanitorium for Tuberculosis, in New Haven, a $1.2 million endowment in memory of her husband who died of the disease.

Winchester died in 1881 after the couple had been married 15 years. Their only child, a daughter, died at the age of one month. The home was purchased by a San Jose family a year after Mrs. Winchester's death. It has been open for visitation ever since as a tourist attraction.

A museum on the sixacre grounds next to the house includes a large display of various models of Winchester guns. If, indeed, the mysterious widow constructed her bizarre home to ward off the spirits of those killed by guns bearing her name, the exhibit is ironic.

She said they had dishonored their cause with such practines.

The new bill would permit a woman to have an abortion through the 10th week of pregnancy, replacing a 1920 law which outlawed all abortion except where the life of the mother was endangered. That law is no longer en- forced. An estimated 300,000 illegal abortions are performed annually in France. Abortion foes included a deputy who played a tape of the heartbreat of a 48- day fetus and Michel Debre, a prime minister under Charles de Gaulle, who argued that easy abortions would further cut France's birth rate and put it in danger from Eastern, Middle Eastern and North African countries. the demographic imbalance between these groups of nations and ours becomes too great, peace will be threatened," Debre said..
