The Peking government hasn't made any move to join, although it has declared in the past that Taman is illegally repesenting China One offical who like other authorities quoted here asked to remain anonymous said the pressure from Peking for a change could come in October at the annual joint meeting of the IMF and the World Bank in Yugoslavia, the first time they have met in a Communist country. "They are sort of suggesting there will be Chinese around," said one official.

"If I were looking for a solution to the problem, I look in that direction." The 137 nation IMF and the World Bank distribute billions of dollars each year in aid and loans to underdeveloped member countries. World Bank lending totaled $8.4 billion last year, including $2.3 billion in interest-free loans to the very poorest members. Financial support from the two institutions could be extremely helpful to Peking in carrying out its ambitious development plans. Onr affinal China and it one billion rwrJ would quah'y far td equal to India rweiv. rty $1 billion Utt year, including alwut $1 billion mtereat free loan However, since the bank rwouroe are limited, it would probably mn a cutback in aid to India in future yrrv leaving around $00-700 million for each country, one official calculated.

taxpayers provide about 10 percent of all financing for the arid Bank and the IMF, and S3 percent about $800 million last year -t of th interest free aid The Bank and the IMF make the decisions on how the money should be used. Among reasons they arc reluctant to oust Taiwan is that the Taiwan government still owes a significant amount of money from past loans $250 million to the World Bank and $190 million to the IMF. One institution official suggested Taiwan may have incurred its debts partly to give it leverage against being ejected. Another official said one solution might be for Taiwan to give up its China seat and reapply for membership on some other basis. But he admitted the mechanics of that approach aren't worked out since there is no provision for membership by non-nations.

"It will be one bell of a complex legal problem All kinds of options axe being drafted here and drafted there, but nothing is decided," another said. The official did not want to be identified because the issue is a sensitive one. The decision may be dictated by the United States, which has been the controlling power in both institutions since it spearheaded their establishment after World War II to help run the post-war global economy. One official said the subject may come up in talks that Treasury Secretary W. Michael Blum en thai will hold with Peking leaders during a visit to China later this month.

"TV tnring point fr a devtwon would be an jreMoii of interna by Peking." he said la making their oWtMon. officials will have tn consider the following Only a handful of the IV members of the IMF fewer than still recognize Taiwan A of the major western nations that provide the vast bulk of the financal support recognize Peking The seat occupied by Taiwan is the seat created for China hen the organizations were established in the months following orld ar 11. As long as the single most important member of the IMF, the United States, recognized Taiwan, it made sense from the S. point of view to continue Taiwan's membership But on Jan. 1, the United State switched to Peking A nation must belong to the IMF to qualify for World Bank membership.

But joining would also carry a few strings for Peking. One is that Peking, as any other member, would have to open its economic books to scrutiny by the IMF sort of an international audit and possibly adopt IMF recommendations for changes in its economic policies. There is also the question of whether Peking would assume Taiwan's indebtedness. Taiwan has not receive any loans from the World Bank since 1971, apparently sensitive to its precarious international position and therefore not wanting to encourage any confrontation over its membership. It has made repayments of past loans on schedule.

The two organizations' only communist members are Yugoslavia, Romania, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos and the last three all took over the memberships held by the former non-communist governments, a precedent that could apply to China. KANSAS CITY', Mo API A former FBI agent who was in Dallas when President John F.

But Dallas police, informed of the threat, ignored it, he hen the police insisted on going ahead with the move we i FBI agents) were ordered to stay completely out of the area. We wanted no part of it, under the circumstances." he said 1 Oswald was later shot to death by Jack Ruby in front of a national television audience as he was being transferred two days after Kennedy was killed.

Hosty, who made the comments in his first lengthy interview granted a reporter, said later that he still has not dropped several "bombshells" that would shed new light on the "I don't want to comment," the former agent said Sunday. "Until the House Assassination Committee's full report is in next month, I don't want to say anything." Even then, he said, hether he talks will depend on what the committee says in the report Clarence M. Kelley, former FBI director who also lives in Kansas City, said he had no idea what Hosty's other information might be. "Speculation has been then it might lead to some conspiracy," Kelley said. "But I've never known of anything to indicate it was a conspiracy." Hosty was assigned to investigate Oswald before the assassination, because Oswald had a Russian-born wife, had traveled to the Soviet Union and had worked with a group sympathetic to the Castro government in Cuba.

That investigation was later criticized by the Warren Commission investigating the assassination and Hosty was suspended for a month without pay by then-FBI director J. Edgar Hoover. He was then transferred to Kansas City, where he worked for the bureau until his retirement last month. More recently, the House Assassination Committee concluded the investigation of Oswald conducted." Hosty said he found nothing in his probe that indicated Oswald posed a danger to Kennedy. "There was no hint of violence in his background, and, if anything, he showed a tendency toward pacifism," Hosty said.

The interview with the Star was the first lengthy session Hosty had consented to with a reporter. 'Justice' assailed in abuse case Woman put children out in cold as lesson, convicted later unfortunate judgment. It seems it could have been handled anotherway." It all started when Mrs Benjamin took a wrong turn at Wichita on the way back to Colorado from Tulsa, where she and six of her children were visiting her two married daughters.

Three counts of felonious child abuse originally filed were rejected by the jury in favor of the lesser, misdemeanor charges. COTTONWOOD FALLS, Kan. (AP) It was "small-town justice" that landed Zelma Benjamin, a 50-year-old mother of nine, in jail to await sentencing for endangering the lives of three of her children, she says. The Canon City, woman was convicted by a Chase County jury Friday for telling three of her children ages 7, 9 and 13 to get out of the car and walk while on a trip home last December. It was a verdict Mrs.

Benjamin said she expected. "Different things are child abuse to some people," she said. "You can't spank your kids anymore child abuse. What are you to do?" The court-appointed attorney who defended her, Rob Symonds, said his client was victimized. "If she was a victim of small-town justice, it was that she got arrested for this at all," he said.

Jupiter portrait Snowmobiler survives night on ice after the snowmobiles carrying Burbach, his wife, Mary, and five other people became stuck in soft ice. Burbach, 59, was hospitalized in stable condition with frostbite.

His companions also were treated for frostbite. They said they left a Sturgeon Bay tavern about Saturday, Intending to cross pack ice to Snake Island where Burbach has a vacation dwelling. "The machines sank about two feet into the slush," Bur-bach said. "We tried to pull them out, but it was no use.

Interest pay varies according to source By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Where you borrow and the way the interest is figured can sometimes be as important as what you borrow when it comes to figuring out how much interest you will pay. Determining finance charges isn't easy. Even banks can make mistakes. The office of the comptroller of the currency recently announced that hundreds of banks made errors in calculating the annual percentage rate on loans and will have to give refunds to borrowers. The Truth in Lending Law, enacted in 1969 and now under review, requires lenders to tell you two things the finance charge and the annual percentage rate.

The finance charge is the total dollar amount you pay to use someone else's money. It includes interest and other fees, such as service charges or insurance premiums. Suppose, for example, you borrow $100. The interest is $7 and the basic service fee is $1. The finance charge is $8.

The annual percentage rate sometimes called the APR is the relative cost of credit on a yearly basis. Take that $100 with an $8 finance charge. If you borrow the money today, keep it for an entire year and then repay it, the APR is 8 percent. Most loans, however, are paid off in installments. Suppose you repay the $108 in 12 monthly installments of $9 each.

As time goes by, you get to use less and less of the $100. The average amount of money you owe during the course of the year is less than $100; the annual percentage rate, therefore, is higher than 8 percent. If you use open-end or revolving credit like bank charge cards, you should learn whether the creditor calculates interest on the adjusted balance, the previous balance or the average daily balance. The amount of interest you pay can vary, even if the rate is the same. Here's how it works: Assume you have an outstanding balance of $400 on an account with a monthly interest charge of 14 percent.

(That's the maximum allowed by law in most places.) You make a $300 payment on the 15th day of a 30-day billing period. If the creditor uses the previous balance method, you will be charged interest on the entire $400. The one-month interest charge will be $6. lawmaker served in the same capacity last year during the session held In Washington. No roll-call votes have emerged from the new 96th Congress.

Rep. Charles Wilson has introduced legislation requiring a $2.28 billion slash in- federal revenue-sharing funds. "The people of East Texas are echoing the whole nation when they call for cutting federal spending and easing inflation," said Wilson. "Not a single state Is expected to have a deficit in fiscal 1980," added the Lufkin Democrat. "There Is no reason for the federal government, which is deeply In debt, to give money to states which have more money than they can spend." When Bentsen Introduced similar legislation In the Senate two weeks ago, the National Governors' Association took exception.

"The fiscal problems of the federal government, with its $532 billion projected 1980 budget, have not been caused by the $2 billion state revenue-sharing program," said Vermont Gov. Richard Snelling. "Rather, the problems are caused by the Inability of congress to control hundreds of billions of dollars in narrow, categorical grant programs, each supported by special-interest groups and federal bureaucracies."
