"I actually think fame is ridiculous," she says. "It's all right when you're young, but now my life interests me much more than my looks," Miss Shrimp-ton said in an interview published in the June 14 issue of People magazine. Miss Shrimpton, 39, devotes herself to bookkeeping, caretaking and scrubbing in the 1620 hotel that she and her husband, Michael Cox, purchased in 1980.

She said she recently turned down a $30,000 offer to do TV ads for margarine, but hasn't ruled out modeling to boost the hotel, located in the Cornish seaport town of Penzance. "If we desperately need a new roof or some major repair, I will go out and do a job," she said.

The 33-year-old heir to the throne, whose wife Princess Diana, 20, is due to give birth to their first child in about four weeks, was chatting Sunday with workers at a stand operated by a group that takes the blind on cycling tours. "It's great fun," the prince said, admiring a specially built three-seat bicycle.

"I used to have a four-seater at school, but I haven't been on a bicycle since. I am just worried in case I get my trousers caught in the spokes." With two other cyclists aboard, the prince sped off, leaving his surprised bodyguards flat-footed. Several scrambled after him, only to give up the footrace and dash back for an unmarked escort car.

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam (AP) They are freckled or blue-eyed starkly different from the other children of Vietnam, these youngsters whose fathers left them years ago to return home to the United States. Bureaucracy, politics and prejudice are insuring that many of these Amerasians born of liaisons between American men and Vietnamese women during the Vietnam war will probably remain outcasts in Vietnamese society and never find homes in America.

"Our policy is to let them all go," Foreign Minister Nguyen Co Thach told a group of visiting American Vietnam war veterans last week. But as the two sides got down to talking details, it became clear that the children and their mothers seeking exit from Vietnam would be subjected to the same complex, case-by-case process that has existed since 1979. A dozen Amerasians and some Vietnamese mothers gathered outside a municipal building here as a female official was giving the delegation from the Vietnam Veterans of America a stern lecture on maternal love and fractured families. The youngsters and mothers trailed the veterans when they emerged from the meeting, pressing identity and emigration papers on them and begging for help. One woman broke down in tears.

Another said that her four children fathered by three Americans sold the contents of garbage cans and movie tickets on the streets to eke out a living. "My father in America. You buy TRUCK-MOUNTED EQUIPMENT 997-S020 CO Bae-Clere Corp Xllinoi AP photo peanuts," repeated a girl with brownish hair, freckles and a disarming waif-like smile, offering peanuts for one dong (10 cents) a packet. The Americans could make few-promises to them. The United States does not automatically grant citizenship to Amerasians.

Several bills before, the U.S. Congress relate to Amerasians but none is comprehensive. One would deal only with offspring of U.S. servicemen. But the large majority of Amerasians in Vietnam were fathered by civilians, most of them working on contract with the U.S.

Defense Department, according to a U.S. Embassy source in Bangkok, Thailand. Donald Colin, who heads the program at the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok, says there are documents now on about 2,000 Amerasians in Vietnam. Of these, some 1,100 are considered "possible Americans" because some claim to U.S.

citizenship may be established. Seventy-five Amerasians still in Vietnam are now documented Americans. The U.S. government believes there are perhaps 4,000 Amerasians averaging 12 years of age who are "unassimilated" and would want to go to the United States. "Traditionally Vietnamese have felt a superiority toward persons who are not pure ethnic Vietnamese," says an information sheet of the U.S.

Embassy in Bangkok. "This is compounded by the view of the present government that Amerasians are simply the children of former enemies and of women who consorted with them." 15. Her body could not be recovered. Both teams failed in their attempts to push up new routes on the world's highest mountain without the use of supplementary oxygen. Members began arriving back in Peking Saturday.

Word of the disappearance of Boardman and Tasker did not reach here until Saturday with the return of the expedition's leader, Chris Bo-nington. He appeared shaken by the loss and spoke only to a small group of British reporters. In a his report to the Chinese Mountaineering Association, a copy of which was made available, Bo-nington said that as he watched from below through binoculars, his two red-suited teammates disappeared at dusk below the second of two major pinnacles.

Everest and are now presumed dead. Peter Boardman and Joe Tasker were last seen at about 27,000 feet late on May 17 as they prepared to surmount a second rock and ice pinnacle on the unclimbed east-northeast ridge of the 29,028 foot mountain. Radio contact was lost and they were not seen again. Two days earlier, the only woman on an American expedition attempting the first ascent of Mt. Everest's north face was killed at about 26,500 feet.
