Funeral arrangements, in charge of the Krrd le.i»y Funeral Home, will be announced later. airliner. "Mr. Lechoco felt he had accomplished what he set out to do," said embassy spokesman R.V. Cruz.

Lechoco was taken into custody by FBI agents, and an official said he would be arraigned today on charges of assaulting a diplomatic officer. Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos had sent his personal assurances to the embassy here that Napoleon Lechoco 24, would be allowed to leave if his father would free the hostages. The father said he would release Eduardo Z. Romualdez and his economic attache two hours after his son was airborne, and on the appointed hour the surrender took place, Philippine diplomat Jose Naldo said. In Manila, authorities said the son was en route to the United States.

They said he was picked up early Tuesday from the home of his grandfather in neighboring Quezon City. Gary R. Alexander, Lechoco's lawyer, said Marcos had assured that young Lechoco would "receive immediate and safe release and conduct to the United States on the first available flight." Romualdez was released unharmed, but the attache, Mario Lagdameo, had a deep flesh wound which doctors at a i University Hospital said was caused by a gunshot. Naldo said Lagdameo, who holds a black belt in karate, was wounded when he tried to wrestle with Lechoco. He said the three men spent most of the siege lying on the floor of Romualdez's office because Lechoco feared the possibility of sniper shots through the windows.

Negotiations prior to the surrender had been going on since shortly after Lechoco took the two men hostages around 3 p.m. EST Monday. Police quickly made telephone contact with Lechoco, and FBI agents entered the talks. Lechoco's wife was taken to the embassy to relay the Philippine offer directly to her husband, including news that the son would be freed when the hostages were released. Japanese (From Page 1) Michigan fight song was the first between a Japanese ruler and an American president on Japanese soil.

Though entirely symbolic, Kissinger said it was the part of Ford's visit that "has meaning to the Japanese people," an indication that it was considered the most significant part of the visit. Ford, looking uncomfortable in cutaway and striped trousers that were bit too short for him, received the emperor at the Akasaka state guest palace where the President is staying. After the two stood at attention for the playing of their national anthems, they met the Tokyo diplomatic corps and reviewed an honor guard in the cobblestoned palace courtyard. It was then that the Japanese military band struck up Michigan's ''Hail to the Victors," which the former Michigan football star often has played instead of "Hail to the Chief" during his appearances in the United States. The stooped, bespectacled emperor, who is 73, then took Ford for a 10-mmute drive to the Imperial Palace where the President met Empress Nagako and had a private chat with the couple.

By custom, the emperor does not discuss politics or give opinions when meeting with foreign leaders. His talk with Ford was strictly a protocol event. Double Play MEDIA, Pa. (AP)-The winning six-digit number in today's Holiday Double Play lottery is 313583. The winning five-digit number is 83583.

contact WTAJ-TV and KDKA-TV and WPME radio if it reaches its decision in time to inform these stations. in most cases, the superintendents will have reached their decision on what to do that day by about 6:30 a.m. At least three districts-Clearfield, Curwensville and Moshannon Valley--have placed into effect a "delayed start plan" this year. Under this plan, the superintendents may decide simply to delay thi opening of school one hour, rather than closing schools down for the day. Announcements concerning the delayed start will again be made through the radio stations.

Robert A. Fike, supervisor of transportation for the Clearfield District, explained, "If there is no announcement on the radio by 6:30 a.m. we (the Clearfield schools) will operate on our regular schedule. "If the radio announces that we will have a delayed start, then all buses will delay their start exactly one hour. As an example, if the bus's first pickup would normally be at 7:10 a.m., its first pickup under delayed start would be at 8:10 a.m.

The delayed start will not affect noon or evening runs; they will be run at the regular time. Please listen to the radio during the one hour delay in case it becomes necessary to cancel school for the entire day." Though Mr. Fike's statements pertained only to the Clearfield district, they might also apply to the other districts that have the delayed start plan in effect, since all the districts will operate the plan in the same manner. Roland Turley, assistant director at the Clearfield County Vocational Technical School, explained how school closings would affect the operation of the Vo-Tech School. He said that the superintendents of the three districts that send students to the Vo-Tech School will contact each other to coordinate their decision.

If any one of the three districts (Clearfield, Curwensville and Philipsburg-Osceola) decides to remain open, then the Vo- Tech School will remain open, according to Mr. Turley. "Transportation is the home district's problem," he said. "We must abide by the decisions made in the home districts." In each district, the procedure to be followed on mornings when road conditions are bad is approximately the same. In each case, the superintendents are first informed of road conditions by their bus contractors.

Using this information, the superintendents then must decide whether to keep their schools open, to put the delayed start into effect, or to close their schools down for the day, generally by 6:30 a.m. at the latest. Once the decision is reached, the superintendents then contact the radio stations to inform the public, and a "chain-of-command" type telephoning plan is initiated. This is necessary in order to inform faculty members and other school officials of the decision. Under this telephoning plan, i generally call three or four of their subordinates, who in turn call a certain number of those working under them in their various departments, and so on and so on until every staff member is contacted personally.

Several of the superintendents also noted that radio announcements will be made if a snowstorm should begin while school is in session and it is decided that students should be sent home early. Parents are also asked to listen to their radios when it becomes apparent that an early closing might be necessary. Sister Mary Esther, principal at Clearfield St. Francis School, said that school will abide by the decisions made by the Clearfield School District, since St. Francis students are transported by Clearfield school buses.

"If they cancel, we cancel too," she said. "If they delay an hour, then we delay an hour as well." Hello World Mr. and Mrs. Richard D. Men-ell of Bound Brook, N.

The figures represent a 20 per cent increase over the last contract. The increase was prompted by rising operational expenses. Bernard Johnson, who represented a youth injured in a fight at the high school at a previous board meeting, was present to ask if school superintendent Dr. John McDannel had investigated a security force for the school similar to one operating in Hamilton Junior High School in Denver, Colo. Dr.

McDannel said he had called the Denver school and found that they employ two para-professional security guards. He said the guards were hired because of racial difficulties in the school. Dr. McDannel also said he investigated the cost of hiring such guards in the three secondary schools in the Philipsburg-Osceola district and found it would be at least $15,750 per year. Mr.

Johnson also asked if any measures were being taken to stop the bomb threats at the secondary schools which have occurred frequently in the past two months. Dr. McDannel assured him that all the usual bomb threat procedures had been followed in every instance. He also added that he believed a youth had been charged in one of the threats, but noted that taped threats indicated all of the calls were not made by the same person. Later, Dr.

McDannel told the board that he had checked with a Philipsburg physician concerning the treatment given to the young man injured in the fight at the high school. Mr. Johnson had criticized the first aid techniques of the school nurse at the last meeting. Dr. McDannel said the physician, Dr.

Pedro C. D. Nartatez, told him he found no fault with the treatment the nurse provided. The injured youth, Tim Holden, was also present at the meeting along with a number of citizens from Rush Township. The directors accepted with regret four resignations including that of Mrs.

Donna Goldthorpe, girls' physical education instructor for the past 15 years. Other resignations were received from Paulene Manner, senior high math teacher; Bonnie Williams, Rush Township elementary teacher; and Patricia Bergey, Ninth Street Elementary teacher aide. Jean Domblisky was approved to fill the teacher aide position. She will be paid $2.20 per hour. Other personnel matters included the hiring of Stephen R.

Hyman as an assistant basketball coach in the Philipsburg Junior High School; the approval of Michael Amrnerman (health and physical education) and R. T. Mansfield (English) as substitute teachers; the approval of Millard Klett as a substitute custodian; the granting of a leave of absence until the end of the 1974-75 school year to Nicholas Maddelena, senior high business education teacher, and the addition of six names to the list of school police. Bids for audio-visual equipment were opened at the meeting. The bids will be tabulated and reported later.

The board voted to accept the lowest bid which meets the specifications. The directors tabled a request from the Recreation Board to pay a $1,269.80 bill from Moshannon Paving Co. for the paving and sealing of the outdoor basketball courts recently constructed at the high school. Board member Jack Milsom will meet with the Recreation Board to discuss the bill. Dr.

McDannel expressed appreciation to teachers who had searched the school buildings during the recent bomb threats and also noted that Pike Coal Co. had donated 125 tons of top soil for use on the baseball field which is now completed. The i received approval from the board to approve use of school buildings to various groups within the board's established guidelines, to sign federally funded programs approved by the board and to meet with the Freeman Insurance Agency to increase building insurance coverage. The board also approved three teacher in-service days, Nov. 27, Feb.

7 and March 27. School will be dismissed at noon in the secondary school and 11 a.m. in the elementary school on these days.

Icy Highways Contribute To Area Accidents State An icy highway was the cause of two one-car accidents Monday morning that happened within 10 minutes of each other on the same section of Route 322 in the village of Mineral Springs. They were among six accidents investigated yesterday by state and Clearfield Borough police.

The first of the one-car mishaps happened at 6:20 a. m. William E. Dysart, 31, of Clearfield, was traveling east on Route 322 when his car went out on control on the icy section of highway. The car left the road, hit an embankment and rolled over Mr.

Dysart escaped injury. Damage to his 1969 convertible was estimated at $350. Ten minutes later Christine Phair, 23, of Philipsburg, was traveling west and lost control of her car at the same spot. The car also went off the road and hit an embankment, resulting in an estimated $450 damage to her '69 coupe. She was taken by a passing motorist to the Clearfield Hospital where she was examined and released.

Another one-car accident also happened on Route 322, this one at 1 p. m. a mile east of Woodland. Melvin L. Smith, 22, of Philipsburg, said he was traveling east when the line of traffic ahead of him slowed down for a truck turning into a side road.

He applied his brakes but his car skidded out of control and also hit an embankment. A two-car collision in Clearfield Borough caused $150 to one of the vehicles. The other was equipped with a shock absorbant bumper and sustained no damage, the police said. The cars collided at the intersection of West Fifth and Nichols streets at 11:10 a. m.

The police reported Lynda L. Beish, 17, of 15 West Fifth Clearfield, was traveling west on Nichols street. She had just turned into West Fifth avenue when the door of her car was struck by a car traveling north on West Fifth and operated by Horace Lansberry, 71, of 324 West Fifth Clearfield. Damage, set by police at $150, was confined to the Beish car. State police are seeking the help of the public in locating unknown drivers involved in two hit-and-run accidents reported yesterday.

One occured on Route 53 in Madera between 11 p. m. Sunday and 8:30 a. m. Monday.

The victim, Bonnie Lee Wieseman, of Thompsontown, told the state police she had parked her car along Route 53 Sunday night and the following morning discovered it had been hit on the left front by a hit-and-run car. Damage to her car, a 1969 coupe, was set at $150. About $35 damage was caused to a 1970 coupe owned by Nathan L. Billings of Woodland when it was hit by an unidentified car sometime between 3:45 p. m.

and 4:15 p. m. yesterday. At the time the Billings car was parked at a service station on Route 970 about three miles north of Woodland. Anyone with information on either of these hit and run accidents is asked to call the Clearfield Substation, 8577692.
