He said he did not want anything to interfere with those Investigations. Ben Morton, Board of Governors' executive, told the committee that the" practie'e of paying off the debt on president's homes financed by foundations had been in effect for years.

Hirschfeld objected to payment out of money ap- propriated for contractual services. Juckett said he believed his subcom- mittee will recommend a stop to the practice. "We feel the purpose of a foundation is -to provide funds for the university which it cannot obtain in its regular budget," he said. "I don't see how we get any benefit from having a foundation if the state is going to wind up paying for the bills." -4 Juckett added "I don't see how these, people can justify building palaces in those days when people are so tax con- Solitary' ends for cadet telegrams calls, with phone mission of bids by some 20 pilots for the routes. The pilots were withholding their decision, Burgess said, in hopes that a settlement in the 50-day strike between Ozark and its mechanics will be settled.

Representatives of the 560-mcmbcr Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association and Ozark were scheduled to meet separately again Thursday in Washington with a federal mediator. Samuel Smith, president of the AMFA Local 24 in St. Louis, said a settlement in the dispute does not appear near. He was critical of the announced flight schedule, saying "very few cities stranded without service will receive service under it." A delegation from Rockford and Peoria went to Washington Thursday to meet with officials of the Civil Aeronautic Board to seek additional air service downstate and outside of Chicago. U.S.

Rep. John Anderson, who accompanied the delegation, said studies indicated there was intense dissatisfaction in smaller communities over gaps in air service. scious. Ozark Air Lines Thursday announced that on June 21 it will resume limited air service to nine cities in Missouri and Illinois. Receiving the service in Illinois will be Peoria, Decatur, Champaign-Urbana, Springfield and Chicago.

A company spokesman in St. Louis, said Bloomington-Norrnal was not included because Ozark's limited resources allow it to make the flights available only to airports where the service is most needed. Charles Ehlert, a company spokesman, told the Pantagraph that three jets to be used will be serviced by supervisory personnel. Only passengers will be carried on the flights, which will be operated by senior Ozark pilots. Don Burgess of the Air Line Pilots Association said however, that the pilots will not make a decision on whether to fly until June 14, according to the Associated Press.

') they were glad I stuck with It" Before reporting in August to his next duty station, FL Benning, Pelosi will spend a month touring Europe with his parents. His father, James V. Pelosi, said that in the first few months of the silence his 5-foot-11 son lost 26 pounds and was treated for nervous exhaustion at the academy's medical department. Young Pelosi, who was also the target of vandalism during the censure, said the experience has not made him bitter either toward the academy or toward his classmates. West Point officials would not comment on Pelosi's case, citing litigation by another cadet challenging the academy's honor code provisions.

The silence is defined in an Army memorandum as "a traditional and unwritten proviso" of the Honor System designed to deal with a cadet convicted of an honor violation, but who does not resign and cannot be discharged because of insufficient legal proof. The penalty is rarely imposed because most cadets, faced with the prospect, choose to resign. Benjamin O. Davis Jr. was silenced during all his four years at West Point from 1932 to 1936 because he was black.

He went on to become a lieutenant general in the Air Force. IN PONTIAC CRESCENT NOW ENDS WED. SAT. MAT. COrt.

SUN. "CLASS OF 44" (PG) mum KATRK WEST HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) A young Army officer who endured 19 months of "silence" at West Point said today that another cadet is undergoing the same treatment at the academy. James J. Pelosi, who received his commission Wednesday, said in an interview at his home that a member of West Point's class of 1974 was censured to silence nearly one year ago.

Pelosi declined to identify the cadet or say why the silence was imposed on him. He said the cadet had asked his advice during the past year but that the pair had not been drawn close together by their mutual adversity. Pelosi held the highest peer rating in his 100-man company when he was convicted in November 1971 by the senior Honor Committee of completing an answer on a quiz after the examiner had given the order to stop. He denied the charge, backed his claim with witnesses and an officer board was convened. The case later was dismissed by Lt.

Gen. William A. Knowlton, the West Point superintendent, after it was learned that a high-ranking officer had urged board members to "expedite' their deliberations. But the trial was not over for Pelosi, then 20.
