The Republican a i a Committee was meeting today. The party's sevcn-mcmbei site selection committee chose Kansas City over Cleveland.

Ohio, near midnight Sunria; after a three-hour closed necting. The site committee sifted the most minute details of the two cities' bids, including sued questions as taxicab service between Missouri and Kansas and a- hous ng iroposed for the Cleveland akeshore. But the decision prilbably was based as much on )o itical considerations as con- 'Cntton logistics. Kansas City is in the midst of he GOP's strongest territory ind party leaders obviously view it as good place to aimeh a successful presidential and to begin rebuild- ng the party's depleted sidle ind congressional strength. The Kansas City group sruptcd with joy when Nactona Committee Chairman Mary Smith announced the otc.

committee spokesmen said they knew of no iircct intervention by the White louse to favor Kansas iy. 3ul reports persisted thai President Ford favored l.lr. city, the stronghold of his favorite Democratic president, Harry S. Truman. Kansas City is surrounded by Republicans.

The Governors of Missouri, neighboring Kansas nd Iowa arc Republicans, 11 ol the Senate's 33 Republicans came from nearby states, ard four of the 11 GOP-conlrolied state house elections come from states just to the west and nurlh of Missouri. Tiie Democrats also were courted by Kansas City, but they chose Ncsv York City for their July 12-10, 1S70 convention. Kansas Cily does not have enough housing to a-ccomodatc a fit-l'l scale Democratic national convention. Even the Republicans, who asked for 2,000 fewer hotel rooms than the 20,000 required by the Demoorats, arc going to have a tight squeeze.

(UPI) Southern West Virginia coal miners began a massive reiunt- lo-work today despite prospects of picketing by dissidents demanding the 1 right tn strike without the threat of court injunctions. Weary of a month-old wildcat walkout which at one time idled up lo 60.000 workers, rank-and- file miners held weekend meetings and voted heed United Mine Workers President Arnold Miller's order (o resume coal production. "Return to work, but if there a-rc pickets out, return home," UMW Local 1302 President Roger Thompson told a gather-' ing of miners Sunday in Logan Counity, where the strike started Aug. U. Thompson said that as far as he could determine, all locals in Charleston-based District 17 voted to end the strike.

In neigh'ooring District 29. headquartered in Becklcy. the same sentiment was voiced by 50 i locals. Union i i a cautioned gainst confrontations with pickets. But some miners said intended to cross any set uip by strikers' who want right-'lo-strike provision inserted in the UMW contract.

Miller and other LTMW leaders have maintained the faction represented only 5 per cent of the union's me-mbert-ihip. Two lead-Ing strike advocates, Bruce MiUer and Skip Delano, were scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court here today to anStWer contempt charges for ignoring Judge K.K. Hall's back-to-work orders. Thom-pson said he felt the walkout had accomplished one of its goals to protest use of cc-jrt Injunctions by coal operators to settle local dis pules.

He predicled Ihc industry now would be more willing to Iry to resolve grievances at the mine site instead of in ihe courts. "We now have the respect of the courts, the companies and Uic international i Thompson said. Thompson whose dismissal by Amhcfst Coal Co. triggered the walkout last month, warned operators to avoid reprisals against strikers.

Tuesday Sept 9 at 7:30 p.m. Auto driving costs jump $200 in year DETROIT (UPI) The average American is paying between $200 and $300 more this year to own and drive a car than during 1974. According to figures from Hertz Car Leasing Division, the cost connected with America's main form of transportation climbed 14 per cent in the past year. While rising gasoline prices account for part of the jump, the hidden costs of interest and depreciation contributed the tnost. In 1974, the major cost factor was the price of gasoline, which jumped from 35 cents to 55 cents a gallon and now is an average 57 cents.

A typical mid-sized car driven 10,000 miles a year now costs an average of $2,700. compared to $2,400 last year. A sub-compact model driven the same distance will cost the owner about up from $1.900 last year. Large cars jumped from $2,850 a year in 1974 to about $3,100 in the first half of 1975, Hertz said. On a per-mile basis, lhat comes out to 21 cents a mile for the Pinto-sized car, 27 cents a mile for a mid-sized automobile like the Chevclle and 31 cents a mile for a car the size of the Chrysler New Yorker.

If those figures seem a lot higher than some government, auto company or car club operating costs, it's due mainly to the fact they exclude interest charges and assume a person keeps the car he buys new for 10 years. "That produces unrcalistieal- ly low pe'r-mile expense figures not applicable to more typical driver who keeps a new car for one lo five years," says J. E. Mcnendez, Hertz Car Leasing Division vice president. Hertz exeuctive said that last year the Internal Revenue Service increased the level of acceptable car-business travel costs to 15 cents a mile for distances under 15,000 miles and 10 cents for mileage over that, resulting in a 13 cent average at 25,000 miles unless actual costs are documented.

"Tiie typical intermediate will virtually never be run for as liltle as 15 cents a mile if the motorists drive less than 15.000 miles a year," Menendcz said. "And the cost will not drop under 13 cents until the aulo is driven 25.000 miles a year and owned for at least six years." Hertz computed its figures based on a car driven 10,000 miles a year and kept for three years. included gasoline, oil. parts, service repairs, licenses, fees, insurance, interest and depreciation..
