The lawyer was taken with the idt and --omptly passed along the suggestion by cable to the man in charge of the tournament, Jose Luis Barreras Merino, of Cuba's National Institute of Sports, Physical Education and Recreation. Barreras promptly agreed in principle to Fischer's participation by telephone, noting that this would lend added interest to the event among chess fans around the world. Players have been invited to the Capablanca tournament from Argentina, Canada, Denmark, Holland, England and Spain, as well as from several East European countries where chess skill carries special prestige: Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, Participants are to receive living and travel expenses and will compete for cash prizes, including a $2,000 first prize. After the tournament officials agreed to let Fischer play matches by telephone, Davis asked the Slate Department again to let him go in person. The reply, in effect, was: We cannot stop a telephone call, but we will not reconsider our ruling on Fischer's travel request.

shortages that could cripple an entire region are to be avoided." New Yorkers are now subject to $50 fines for car washing, lawn and garden watering and filling of pools. Diners in restaurants get drinking water only when they ask for it. Air conditioners in the city's skyscrapers are turned off for several hours a day. Also In the city's arsenal of conservation weapons is the newsletter that outlines new techniques for shaving, showering, washing dishes and toilet flushing, all designed to save water. The city's Catholic churches united in a prayer appeal last month for rain.

Looking to the future, city and federal representatives discussed plans this week for a proposed nuclear desalting plant. Only 83-Day Supply Remains In Northern New Jersey, the Wanaque Reservoir serving Newark and a large part of the North of the state had only an 83-day supply remaining yesterday. The Jersey City reservoir has only 93 days of water left. The state's rainfall level is 6.25 inches below normal for this year alone. There are no restrictions on water use in Southern New Jersey and Philadelphia.

Water supplies there are adequate despite a long-time shortage of rain, vv JK ft water left by early next year, experts say. The President called the conference after receiving a gloomy report from Interior Secretary Stewart Udall. The report said that despite state and local efforts to conserve water the situation was growing more desperate. The report noted a "further reduction" in the water supply in the Delaware River basin. It predicted that the drought would last another year and warned that "if adverse conditions continue," New York City would run out of water by next February.

The problem is twofold: fThe New York City-Northern New Jersey region has been drought-stricken for four years. The residents of that area must draw water from the Delaware River because other reservoirs are so low. Every time a gallon of water is taken from the Delaware River, fresh water pressure against the Atlantic Ocean is decreased a lMtle and undrink-able salt water is pushed farther up the Delaware on the tides, threatening the South New Jersey-Philadelphia water supplies with contamination. When New York-North Jersey are Continued from First Page now are certain it was homicide. They theorize Miss Jones was unconscious when carried to the bridge from the Kentucky side.

They believe the assailant or assailants threw her into the river, drove to the Indiana side, came back across the bridge and then threw the shoes from the car. Police are looking for Miss Jones' lower dentures, a wig she purchased Wednesday night shortly before her disappearance and her purse. Deputy Coroner Charles Proctor said Miss Jones suffered two forehead wounds a one-inch cut in the left eyebrow and a gouge wound. He said he also found abrasions on the right leg and right arm. Police believe a man may have enlered Miss Jones' car when she stopped for a traffic signal.

Miss Jones, the first woman prosecuting attorney in a Louisville court, lived at 3237 Virginia and had a law office at 2018 W. Broadway, She was active in Negro-voter registration and was chairman of the rehabilitation fund for James (Bucky) Welch, an 8-year-old boy who lost both arms in a train accident last year while trying to rescue his dog.

He said that headquarters of 325th Division of the North Vietnamese army was operating in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. In an allusion to Cambodia, Ky said: "We have been tolerant long enough. In the future we will attack any base anywhere that tolerates Viet Cong, any base from which Viet Cong moves troops against us." registered Democrats outnumber the Republicans by about three to one.

No name has been selected for the third party but it is expected to be something along the lines of Independent Citizens Party. The use of a third line to pick up additional votes is not uncommon. In the 1961 election, Mayor Wagner had 1 the endorsements of the Democratic and Liberal parties. He obtained a third line when the AFL-CIO central labor council formed the Brotherhood Party to support him. He recieved 55,863 votes on the Brotherhood line, 970,383 Democratic and 211,175 Liberal for a total of 1,237,421.

His opponent, Attorney General Louis J. Lcfkowitz, also appeared on three lines. His own Republican party gave him 779,088, the Civic Action Party 32.013 and the Non-Partisan Party 24,590 for a total of 835,691. Lindsay's running mates are Dr. Timothy W.

Costello, the Liberal Party state chairman, for city council president, and Milton Mollen for controller. Ntw York Timts Ntwi Swvic NEW YORK Rep. John V. Lindsay, the Republican Party and Liberal Party candidate for mayor, is planning to form a new party to give his ticket a third line on the Nov. 2 election ballot.

Sources in the Lindsay camp said yesterday they expected to pick up on this line the votes of those who might be reluctant to vote for Lindsay and his running mates on the Republican or Liberal lines. The Lindsay forces will use their own large volunteer organization to get the signatures of voters needed for independent nominations. Only 7,500 are needed but they will strive for about 35,000. Under the election law they may begin circulating such petitions on Tuesday. They must be filed by Sept.

21. Every Vote Helpful The Lindsay strategists do not expect to pick up a large number of votes on the third line but they believe every vote will be helpful, especially since There seems no solution but rain and plenty of it. "Since our July 21 report," Udall said, "precipitation has been spotty. There has not been significant rainfall on the critical upper Delaware watershed. It is now clear that it will take a hurricane or series of sod-soaking rains to sharply increase stream run-off in the weeks ahead." "Common prudence," Udall said, "requires all concerned to act on the assumption that this unprecedented drought will persist for one more year.

It is clear that coordinated planning by the federal, state, and local governments must be initiated immediately if Continued from First Page to answer questions about misappropriation of funds. The premier declined to give details of charges against Khanh. Khanh already has been dismissed from the army and his ambassadorial rank and privileges were revoked. He has been living in the United States as "roving" ambassador. Well-informed sources said that one reason for disgracing Khanh, who had been friendly with Lodge, had been to eliminate the possibility that he would make a political comeback.

Observers here were not discounting the truth of the charges against Khanh and a number of other generals who were accused of malfeasance were well founded. However, the timing of yesterday's announcement, they said, had unmistakable political significance. Associates of Ky said they were confident he would be able to develop a good working relationship with Lodge. Ky called his news conference to review military, economic and political accomplishments of his 45-day-old government.

The Census bureau said further study would be necessary to determine whether other counties met the two standards prescribed in the act for suspension of such tests.

It is believed that Aroostook County, Maine; Elmore County, Idaho, and about eight more counties in North Carolina may be brought under the act. Since yesterday it is illegal In any of the certified areas to use any type of test to judge a prospective voter's ability to read, write or interpret documents. Officials in the affected areas also are barred by the law from delaying suspension of the tests through court challenges. Suits testing the constitutionality of the law can be filed in the United States District Court in the District of Columbia. But there is no provision for delaying the effect of the law while such a suit is being adjudicated.

The Civil Service Commission published yesterday regulations that will govern the action of examiners in the registration of voters. The regulations make it clear that an applicant cannot be rejected because he cannot sign his name. Registration of illiterates is expected to be the main cause of opposition to the act in the South. The Justice Department, however, has contended that in all of the states and counties covered under the bill there has been registration of white illiterates. The Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department was prepared to work through the weekend deciding where examiners should be sent.

A department spokesman said officials were trying to select those counties where they were least likely to receive voluntary compliance. The examiners were expected to be scattered through five states Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina. At Jackson, the Justice Department, reviewing 75 years of Negro disfranchisement, filed a suit to abolish the Mississippi poll tax. It asked that the poll tax, one of the chief instruments of that disfranchisement, be declared unconstitutional. The complaint said that Mississippi actually had a smaller percentage of Negroes registered to vote in 1964 than in 1899, thanks in part to the poll tax and its discriminatory use.

The 24th ratified Jan. 23, 1964, outlawed the poll tax for federal elections.

Congress declared in Section 10 of the new Voting Rights Act that the constitutional right of citizens to vote still was being denied or abridged in some areas by the state poll-tax requirement. The act directs the attorney general to file suits to outlaw it. Atty. Gen. Nicholas Katzeiibnch, who signed the, complaint, said in Wash-ington: "The act requires that this case be handled expeditiously by the courts and we intend to prosecute it with the utmost energy to insure a speedy resolution.

We are confident that the poll tax requirement will be struck down as unconstitutional." The government asked for a three-judge court to hear the suit and that the hearing be expedited. The 11-page complaint declared that the poll-tax requirement violates the 14th and 15th amendments to the U.S. Constitution. It said the tax is contrary to the equal protection and due-process clauses of the 14th amendment. The 15th forbids states from denying or abridging the right to vote on the basis of race or color.

"Since the adoption of the Mississippi constitution of 1890, the state of Mississippi by law, practice, custom and usage has maintained and promoted white political supremacy in a racially segregated society," the complaint charged. In a population of 1,257,546 whites and 915,743 Negroes, there are about 25,000 Negroes registered as voters and 600,000 whites, the Justice Department said. South Carolina Negmes, Whites Register; No Tests COLUMBIA. S.C. (AP) Negroes and whites registered to vote in South Carolina yesterday without having to take literacy tests.

Only two of the state's 46 counties held registration of new voters, but in these two registrars eliminated the literacy test on the recommendation of Daniel R. McLeod, the state's attorney general. McLeod advised the registrars that the new voting rights bill signed Friday by President Johnson knocked out literacy tests and similar devices in South Carolina and other Southern states. The South Carolina law, which required a voter applicant to both read and write, was enacted in 1930. The reading requirement was outlawed by the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
