Under federal law, even though they pleaded guilty, only a jury can recommend the maximum pen alty of death against the pair who confessed the abduction and slay ling of the son of multimillionaire (Robert C Greenlease here Sept. 28. ' The death penalty is possible because Bobby was lured from a I private school in Kansas City, ;Mo., and taken across the Kansas 'state line to a wheat field where be was shot to death. State authorities in both Kansas and Missouri are awaiting outcome of the federal case. A kidnapping charge on file against the pair in Missouri is punishable by death In the gas chamber. Kansas offi cials said a murder charge, pun ishable by hanging, will be filed there if necessary.

The Coast Guard later rigged a breeches buoy from the harbor jetty to the vessel so the crew could be removed should a storm hit the region. Winds are expected to increase in the area by mid morning Wednesday. Present plans .call for the crew, commanded by Capt. Carl F. Hubner of San Francisco, to re main aboard at least until Wednes day morning, when tugs will attempt to pull the ship free.

Taibott, secre tary of the Air Force, as saying the Air Force eventually will have supplies of A-bombs at the newly acquired Spanish bases. Taibott Tuesday denied these reports.
