Despite many inquiries about their wheareabouts and efforts to win their release, Peiping and Moscow have maintained com plete silence. Efforts on their be half have been made by tne State Department, British Diplo mats, INS. NBC, Congress, and by the American delegation to the United Nations, all to no avail.

From time to time, rumors fil ter into Hong Kong about the alleged whereabouts and condi tion of the trio But none of these reports has been confirmed by the State Department or the British. One rumor said Applegate was taken ill on Shameen Island and had been transferred to Chung- shan university hospital. t lW: 'A . .. --X fiJ - CAMPAIGN CARICATURE Two West Germans, wearing nnge heads caricaturing Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and Minister of Economy Ludwig Erhard (right), shake hands during a mass' anti Adenauer demonstration held by the Social-Democratic Party tn Berlin, it was part of the campaigning for the crucial West German election scheduled for Sept 6.
