PAGE 17 WEDNESDAY, JULY 5, 1972 THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR- Korean Peace Step Buoys Hopes In Asia Bobby Bows In, But Boris Bows Out reduced the authorized level of Ameri Continued From Page 1 and will "contribute to the easing of tension in the Asian region as well as the Korean Peninsula." A spokesman for Thailand's ruling National Executive Council said the news was surprising but welcome, adding, "We believe that it will help promote peace to this part of the world." Australia's Foreign Affairs Minister Nigel Bowcn called it a "significant and hopeful development" and said, "The important thing is that a most encouraging beginning has been made." INDONESIAN Foreign Minister Adam Malik said the agreement is a positive contribution toward peace and stability, and as such is welcomed by the Indonesian people. Nationalist China, however, warned that North Korea is trying to achieve by negotiations what it could not achieve by military aggression. "Our experience in the past convinces us that the Communists are never sincere in negotiations," the Nationalist government said in a statement from Taipei. "To the Communists, negotiation is but a technical maneuver employed for the purpose of infiltration and subversion." The Taiwan government called on "the free countries to heighten their vigilance in the face of such Communist conspiracy." PRESIDENT NIXON'S China trip I last February appears to have been a major factor in persuading North Korpa and South Korea to agree on specific steps to seek reunification by peaceful means without respect to ideological or social differences The two countries, estranged by a bitter war In the early 1950s, began somewhat desultory talks a year ago, through their Red Cross representatives, on the possibility of reuniting families which had been separated by the long-standing cease-fire line near the 38th Parallel. These talks, according to authoritative sources, took a much more concrete form and moved Into the political sphere shortly after Mr.

Nixon and Premier Chou Enlal held their week-long series of conferences at Peking. THERE HAS BEEN no claim that either Mr. Nixon or Chou En-lai intervened specifically to bring about Monday's dramatic announcement. But the assumption in diplomatic circles was that when the United States and China took steps to begin liquidating their 25-year-old heritage of cold war tension, the smaller nations involved in the East-West conflict in Asia decided it was time to begin assessing the possibility of some movement to end their own related disagreements. The State Department welcomed the North-South Korea announcement as an initiative that is "most encouraging and could have a salutary impact for peace and stability on the Korean peninsula." The department's statement at the same time reaffirmed staunch American friendship for South Korea and noted that the United States has a I fa Continued From Page 1 demanded that the International Chess Federation known at FIDE take some punitive measures against Fischer on the grounds that he had violated the rules for the match.

It did not specify what sort of measures should be taken. Asked about the Tass report, Euwe said no formal request for punitive measures had been received. Besides, he asked, "what should I do? Put him in the corner?" During the days of dispute and bad temper which preceded Fischer's arrival, Spassky had been the picture of courtesy and understanding. When approached by newsmen he had no b.d words for Fischer, a man he respects as a chess player. All he would say was that "I came to play." THERE WAS another indication that Spassky's moves were being plotted at Moscow.

After an attempt to come to terms with Fischer's people at a private meeting yesterday afternoon, Spassky and his second, Yefim Gellcr, drove grimly to the Soviet' Embassy, presumably for consultations. Asked what Fischer's opinion of the new dispute was, Euwe told newsmen, "Mr. Fischer is asleep and is not aware of this." Fischer was in a new two-story villa on the edge of town, sound asleep in the back bedroom. Fred Cramer, a United States Chess Federation official, said, "I didn't want to upset Bobby's metabolism by waking him up." AT NEW YORK, meanwhile, Col. E.

B. Edmondson, director of the U.S. Chess Federation, said if Fischer or Spassky fails to show up for tomorrow's match, the title should go to the other by default. He said that if neither shows up. "The title should be declared vacant and they should start all over." He said he was expressing his opinion as a member of the five-man advisory board of FIDE.

"This 'has gone far enough," Edmondson said. "You cannot go on with this kind of charade." The waiting for Fischer ended at 6:48 a.m. yesterday when his Icelandic Airlines plane taxied to a stop at the can forces helping guard the ceasefire line from 60,000 to 40,000 men. At the same time, South Korea has sent 50,000 crack troops to South Vietnam, where they now outnumber the Americans helping the Saigon government defend itself. AMERICAN officials hope that the example set by North and South Korea may be "contagious" enough to cause Hanoi to have second thoughts about its refusal to negotiate with Washington and Saigon on what the United States calls a "sincere basis." However, there is no evidence visible so far that Hanoi is moderating its demand, which called for the United States to abandon its support of the Saigon government as the price for peace talks.

The announcement that the two Korean countries were setting up a joint commission to work toward the goal of reunification came just 22 years and one week after 60,000 North Korean troops, using 100 Soviet-supplied tanks, launched an invasion of the South which led to bloody warfare up and down the peninsula until the armistice agreement of July, 1953. THE UNITED STATES did most of the fighting under the banner of the United Nations, which indorsed the American action after the Soviet delegation walked out of the Security Council and was unable to veto the action. American casualties In the war Included 33,629 killed In action while 20,617 Americans died of other causes. Administration officials, acknowledging that Mr. Nixon's visit to China probably had a great deal to do with persuading Korean leaders to try negotiating their differences, said that the President's visit to Moscow also undoubtedly played a part.

The Soviet Union, which has supplied virtually all of North Korea's war materiel, has had more Influence on the policies of that country than Peking. In fact, Chou En-lai once disclosed that he had not been in favor of the attack by the North on the South in 1950, but that the Pyongyang government had paid more attention to Moscow than to him.

FISCHER STAYED out of sight in the plane until two lines of police formed a wall to seal him off from newsmen so he would not have to answer questions before he got in a waiting car. The tall 29-year-old grand master lurched out the door of the plane and careened down the steps of the ramp.

He nearly bolted when the president of the Icelandic Chess Federation came up to him and offered a welcoming handshake. He was driven away to the green and buff colored villa under an escort of police cars. A stewardess said Fischer hadn't been able to sleep during the four-hour, 40-minute flight from New York. "He spent most of his time looking out the window," she said. FISCHER APPEARED calm and didn't make any special requests, except for a glass of milk.

The former boy wonder, who never used to move anywhere without practicing on a pocket chess board, displayed no interest in the game during the flight. Fischer had a visit at the villa from the federation physician, Dr. Ulfar Thordarson, whose approval would be needed for a postponement on medical reasons. Thordarson said Fischer was fit to play. Before he went to sleep, Fischer came out of the house in his stockinged feet to ask the policemen around the house where the rest of his luggage was.

He got his two overweight leather bags, one of them containing tennis gear, but he complained some packages he'd checked at New York were missing. that country against any aggression.

HE SAID THE STATE organization had not kept records of construction of fallout shelters and did not know how many had actually been built.

Maurice Sullivan, a deputy police chief in South Orange, who directs Civil Defense work, said about 12 shelters had been built in that well-to-do Essex County community. There has been no interest in them lately, he said. "It blows hot and it blows cold. If the Russians blow their nose or a submarine is seen off Cuba then everyone worries about it but if the submarine goes home they forget them." Some communities offer tax exemptions for property owners who have built fallout shelters that would be available for other local residents during an attack or natural disaster. The Federal government issued a booklet several years entitled "Shelters in New Homes," and suggested the shelters could also be used for wine cellars and sauna baths.

In addition to wine, Mrs. Weiss, of Short Hills, keeps food in her shelter, connected to the basement of her home. She also has used it as a guest room. MARVELOUS for keeping pickles or marinated leek," she said. "In a cool room like this it keeps beautifully.

"We still keep the empty fish tanks there but I haven't gone down to look over the things in quite a while." The shelter's original use was dropped gradually. "I guess the concern and need for a shelter was no longer as positive as it had been when we put it In," she said. ON ALL PIANOS ORGANS NEW and USED SCHMITT MUSIC 714 E. 52ND ST. 924-1368 OPEN EVES.

Manila (UPI) About 2,000 leftist Filipino youths protesting against what they called the "hypocrisy" of Filipino-American Friendship Day yesterday hurled fire and shrapnel bombs against police guarding the approaches to the United States Embassy. At least 27 persons, including seven policemen, were reported injured in the fighting triggered by the anti-American youths' demands to be permitted to demonstrate in front of the embassy. Most of the casualties were Augusta, Me.

1,500 Stomp On Ferry's New Orleans 'Jazz Trip9 FROM AP AND UPI Aboard the Statcn Island Ferry a stomping, undulating crowd of 1,500 people held sway aboard a Staten Island ferryboat yesterday as it drifted on a whimsical trip to New Orleans, 1920, on the magic carpet of jazz. Cruising leisurely on a 10-mile trip up the Hudson River, the bands of Kid Thomas Valentine and Papa Albert French dazzled their audience with dozens of songs that are Dixieland to the laymen, but a special art to the devotee. THE Ferry John F. Kennedy was equipped with a powerful loudspeaker system, but the vast majority of the enthusiasts, oblivious in their youth, chose to jam the main deck sway to '-'The Saints" did the audience fully realize what approached. The audience fell in behind the band for a roaring, stomping marcji around the deck, ending with an uninhibited female vocal when the ship bumped the pier.

Nearly everybody played "Basin Street Blues." The Preservation Hall band played the marches to and from the graveyard, "Just A Closer Walk with Thee" and "Didn't He Ramble." Pianist Emma Kempe and singer-trumpeter Al Corbette sat in with the Tuxedo band at the last for a tribute to Louis Armstrong's "Mack the Knife," and followed it to the mad conga line conclusion of around the groups to see as well as hear. The two-hour cruising concert, part of the Newport Jazz Festival activities in New York, began at the dock with the Kid Thomas Preservation Hall band playing "Algiers Strut." IT DID not take long for the vibrations to reach out and provoke dancing on the seats. With cups of beer in the hands of the audience and a mute in the nimble hands of trumpeter Kid Thomas, the communication was electric. Most were oblivious to the fact that they were on a boat at all, with the steady hum of the diesels providing the only sensation of movement. When Papa French took over after a brief break, the audience began to respond with vocal encouragement, as when a well-dressed man shouted "Bring it back, oh bring it back" to the strains of "Bill Bailey." French shouted toward the end that his last number would be the "Snake-Hip" and only when the group began to "The Saints Come Marching In," by Papa French and his band.
