I Death notices to pack for a month, and we were supposed to pack for hot and cold weather," and she and another young woman did so. "We flew to Panama and stayed in the best hotel," the woman went on. "Terri was gone all day and said she had to turn over some money to a Swiss bank. We were there about a week. Then we flew to England for two days, then to France.

And then we went into Zurich. "We were sitting at the bank and the man said something about a $2 million deposit, and Terri got very annoyed, saying he shouldn't have said anything. He mentioned two account numbers; I wasn't supposed to hear them, but I did they were 747 and 748." After that, she said that she and her friend returned to San Francisco while Miss Buford went to Romania to do more banking. The woman, who discussed the banking operation only under an agreement that her name not be made public, said that she had been required to sign dozens of blank pieces of paper and banking forms. It was assumed that these would be used later to withdraw or transfer money.

From time to time, she said, there were discussions of how the money would be spent if a mass suicide was ever carried out. Among other things, she said Jones once had discussed giving some of the money to Angela Davis, the black militant leader, or Dennis Banks, the American Indian Movement leader. Jones had expressed support for both of them from his pulpit. On another occasion, the young woman said, a fellow assistant to Jones emerged from a meeting with him with a puzzled expression on her face. Jones, she was told, had proposed giving the money to the Soviet Union by flying over the country and dropping it from a plane.

"She wondered how we would get a plane to do it," the interviewee said. Temple said that the organization's income averaged at least $250,000 a month last year, while she had access to the records. Millions of dollars of the assets were from the sale of homes and properties of members who moved to Guyana or remained in Peoples Temples in San Francisco, Los Angeles or in Mendocino County, north of San Francisco. There are already several contenders for the cult's fortune. Members of the People's Temple in San Francisco who did not go with others to Guyana have said they intend to keep their temple in operation and have argued that any assets belong to the congregations.

But since the accounts are not in the name of the cult itself, legal sources here have pointed out that their claim might encounter problems. Other claims are expected from the families of people whose homes and other property was extorted from them by the cult, and several lawsuits seeking the money are being prepared. Stoen, the former Jones legal adviser, said the -accounts were set up so that there would be no direct link to Jones, among other reasons to avoid possible prosecution for evasion of income taxes. The young women selected as his emissaries, he said, had no income of their own and therefore did not need to file any tax returns. Only three young women in Jones' inner circle were assigned to do the banking.

In an interview, one of the three explained how the svstem worked: "We never knew where we were going; Terri would say that we would be making a trip next week, and be ready to go, and then we'd just go to the airport and leave. Usually, it was Panama or Switzerland. Before we'd leave, each of us would get $5,000." Once, before Mrs. Buford left San Francisco for Guyana, the young woman said, "Terri told us we'd have By Robert Llndsey c' N. Y.

Times News Service SAN FRANCISCO The Rev. Jim Jones, who died with more than 900 followers in Guyana on Nov. 18, left a network of secret bank accounts around the world totaling more than $10 million, former aides say. With his death, a mysterious international battle has begun for the fortune amassed by the Peoples Temple. His former associates say Jones had established at least six and possibly a dozen or more accounts in Switzerland, Panama and other countries, using anonymous numbered accounts and dummy corporations to conceal their ownership.

One former official of the cult said the total amount of the fortune might be as much as $15 million. Timothy Stoen, a San Francisco lawyer who was once a Jones aide and legal adviser, developed the plan for the international network of secret bank accounts before he defected from the Peoples Temple. One former aide said that the charismatic leader, a Marxist and once a San Francisco city official, had mentioned giving the money as a gift to the Soviet Union if he should die. Members of a group of survivors of the Guyana killings said that after the deaths they were on their way to the Soviet Embassy in Georgetown, the Guyanese capital, with $500,000 in cash, but abandoned the money in the jungle. It was too heavy to carry, they said.

Two women one of whom may be dead appear to have the answers regarding the Jones bank accounts. The women, Carolyn Layton and Terri Buford, both in their late 20s, were graduates of the University of California and close financial advisers to Jones. Miss Layton was one of Jones' mistresses and his chief administrator on money matters immediately before his death. Witnesses reported that they saw her shortly before the killings and suicides at Jonestown, the Guyanese jungle commune of the Peoples Temple, but her death has not been confirmed. Mrs.

Buford managed the Peoples Temple accounts until she defected from the cult last month. Although Mrs. Buford's exact whereabouts is the 1979 Olds 88 Jim Jones not known, there are indications that she was living recently in so-called safe-houses selected by Mark Lane, the cult's attorney. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, as part of its inquiry into the death of Rep. Leo J.

Ryan, is seeking to identify the cult's bank accounts and determine if any federal laws were broken in the transactions. Once the accounts are located and catalogued, the ownership of the money if, by that time, the money is still in the accounts must be established. It was Ryan's visit to the commune that precipitated the killings and suicides. Other former Jones aides say young female members of the cult played the principal role in the complex scheme of international banking. They were assigned to open dummy overseas bank accounts in several countries; they would then be sent on hastily arranged trips to deposit or transfer money from the accounts.

Several accounts were established in Switzerland and Panama, and one account was opened in Romania. A woman who had taken such a trip said one account was established in Switzerland last year, exclusively for Jones' personal use, and under the name of a dummy corporation, "Bridget." The initial deposit, she said, was $1.5 million. The cult got all that money through collection-plate offerings, the sale of members' homes and other properties, members' Social Security checks totaling more than $60,000 a month, and a variety of money-raising activities assigned by Jones to his followers.
