The confrontation last night followed a weekend in which seven men died, apparently the victims of sectarian execution squads. Their deaths brought to 398 the total in three years of violence surrounding the outlawed Irish Republican Army's campaign to force this mainly Protestant province into a united Ireland. The Protestant barricades were thrown up to spur William Whitelaw, Britain's administrator in Northern Ireland, into tougher action against the IRA barricades in Londonderry, the province's second city. Whitelaw's policy is to seek to bring down the Londonderry barricades by persuasion rather than force.

Tension in the Protestant backstreets alongside "peace line" dividing Bel-f a 's feuding communities evaporated once it became clear that the British army for the moment at least had no intention of penetrating the Protestant ring. Barricades of steel spikes cemented into the roadway housing some 40,000 people along Shankhill Road, Wood- vale and Oldpark. They were manned at key points by uniformed volunteers of the Ulster Association, the Protestant army which has mushroomed throughout Northern Ireland over the past four weeks. A similar "no-go" area, though on a much smaller scale, was established in Por-tadown, a mainly Protestant manufacturing town south-west of Belfast. A token barricade was established, too, in a Protestant district of Londonderry.

The army, though it was not saying so officially, seemed clearly ready to tolerate the barriers so long as they cause no major traffic disruption. A UDA man of Shankill said the British had politely suggested that some barricades should be moved back out of sight of neighboring Roman Catholic districts and the UDA had agreed. "But 99 per cent of the barricades are where we anted them," the UDA men said, "and they'll stay there until KEK'UBLTO BULLDOG 2 The Arizona Republic Phoenix, Tuesday, July 4, 19T2 Accord near on fiscal mart talks Associated Press BONN President Georges Pompidou of France and Chancellor Willy Brandt unexpectedly called in their top advisers yesterday for intensified talks on Europe's future, amid signs they be near agreement on monetary policy and on whether to hold a Common Market summit meeting. "We are on a good road to a good and satisfactory conclusion," a Bonn government spokesman told newsmen after Brandt and Pompidou talked right after the French president's morning arrival. After exchanging optimistic toasts at lunch, the two leaders called in their foreign and finance ministers for more detailed talke, seeking to reconcile differences on Europe's future and America's role in it.

Premier Jacques Chaban-Delmas of France flew in from Paris to join the leaders as the pace of their talks quickened. The Bonn spokesman said Pompidou and Brandt already had reached agreement on "certain substantive details." He did not elaborate, but indicated the and West Germans were trying to avoid postponement of an enlarged Common Market summit session planned for October in Paris.

His kidnaping immediately evoked two theories: Either' Gusty had been "sprung" by. his own side and was safe and well behind the barricades, or he had been captured by the IRA, in which case his life expectancy' would be short.

A guerrilla spokesman in Cairo said "heavy rockets" were fired against the Israeli settlement of Baiyas in the occupied Golan Heights of Syria yesterday and scored "direct hits No mention of damages or casualties were made. The Israeli military command in Tel Aviv said Arab guerrillas ambushed an army truck about two miles south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank of Jordan Sunday night but no casualties or damage were reported. In Tel Aviv, military sources said Israel took a "calculated risk" in opening its border to Arab -rs because guerrillas might shift their activities from border areas into Israeli territory Dollar weakens in W. Germany as pound sinks United Press International The International Air Transport Association reported receiving, a message yesterday warning of mass reprisals against world airports used by Israeli airline El Al unless the Japanese terrorist involved in the Lod Airport massacre was freed in 24 hours. The IATA said in Geneva the release of Kozo Okamoto was one of four demands contained in the unsigned message, which was being taken seriously.

Warnings were flashed to airlines, airports and the International Police Organization. Israeli Transport Minister Shimon Peres said in Tel Aviv that Israel will not be "frightened" into releasing Okamoto, sole survivor of the three Japanese terrorists who killed 26 and wounded about 80 other persons at the Israeli international airport near Tel Aviv May 30. The IATA said the message wanned that, "If the demands are not met, open war will be waged against Jewish industries with El Al being a prime target." It also said airports allowing El Al to use their facilities were accomplices and would be "treated according-ly." The message said Japanese were not involved in the threats and warned that "to ignore the demands would be fatal." that would unravel the Dec. 18 Smithsonian agreement was cited by some dealers as a reason for extreme caution at the present moment. Frankfurt, specialists said the amount of dollars acquired by the German central bank was relatively small.

The Bundesbank declined to buy dollars in afternoon interbank money exchanges in Frankfurt. As a result, the official buying rate for dollars fell slightly under the 3.15 marks to the dollar rate that is the dollar's lower limit in Frankfurt. This is only a temporary phenomenon, specialists explained. The buying rate was 3.1495 and the selling rate as 3.1505. New York Times Service PARIS The West German central bank had to acquire dollars yesterday for the first time since the June 24 flood of them into Frankfurt following the British decision to float the pound.

The pound weakened further, falling 2 cents to $2.42, and appears to be moving fast toward its old pre-De-cember value of $2.40. On Dec. 18 the pound was upvalued to $2.60 as part of a multilateral realignment that provided the dollar with an average 12 per cent devaluation. Gold rose again, trading at an ounce in London More ahoul MOBILE HOME Associated Press BELFAST A Protestant citizens army established three permanent "no-go" citadels yesterday in Belfast in defiance of British authority. A ban on building a fourth brought a tense confrontation between troops and 2,000 masked militants.

The Protestants were determined to erect a steel barricade across Ainsworth Avenue in West Belfast. The army denied permission on grounds the barrier would cut off a Roman Catholic enclave of about 20 families. Negotiations between the' army and leaders of the Ulster Defense Association broke down, only to be reopened again. Both sides marched in reinforcements until 2,000 Protestants, all hooded and carrying pick handles, were deployed opposite more than 500 troops. Women of the neighborhood at one point formed a line between the two forces to keep them apart.

When the Protestant citi-zens's army had set up the three "no-go" areas earlier yesterday, its leaders threatened instant retaliation if Yugoslav uprising contained United Press International BELGRADE Yugoslav' forces yesterday sought the last members of a band of -Ustashi guerrillas who "infiltrated" from Austria hoping to spark a rebellion against President Tito's Communist government, informed sources said. In a clash with special anti-guerrilla army and police units in the forest lands of Western Bosnia, most of the 20 to 30 Ustashi were either killed or captured, according to the Communist sources. Three policemen, the sources added, were killed and foui- wounded in the fighting. The Ustashi is a worldwide exile organization against Tito's government which wants to establish an independent Croatia. The sources said the Ustashi were believed to have come originally from Melbourne, Australia, a center for Yugoslav exile First news of the clash came Sunday, with a terse "announcement" from the Yugoslav government.

"A group of Ustashi-Fascist terrorists, some notorious criminals among them, has illegally infiltrated into Yugoslavia," the government said. "In the first clash with security menandterritorial guards, the gang was broken up and the bulk of it destroyed." Sources said the guerrillas had hoped to spark the local population of Western Bosina historically a center for Ustashi support Into revolt against Tito. However, the government announcement said "the local population have been doing their utmost, giving a valuable backing to security men and territorial guards in their cracking down on the terrorists." The guerrillas, according to the sources, were all young men apparently trained for guerrilla activity, and armed with telescopic rifles, guns and silencers, and radio equipment. They reportedly entered the country a week ago and held up a truck driver, forcing him to take them 250 miles south to the Bosnian town of Bugojno.

That's what they've done all along." The sponsors announced restrictions in move-by-move and photo coverage of the 24-game match because the rights had been sold. Slater made his otter after the Icelandic Chess Federation's board rejected Fischer's demands for 30 per cent of the gate receipts. This would have amounted to considerable sums for both Fischer and Spassky because the match could last as long as two months. The original terms call for the winner to receive $78,125 and the loser $46,875, plus 30 per cent for each of the income from sale of television and photographic rights. Slater's private enrichment of the pot could be used to up the winner's prize to $156,000, with the remainder of his funds going to boost the loser's share.

He said another alternative would be to add the entire $130,000 (or 50,000 pounds) to the winner's cut. for a total of $208,125. The London investment banker said he made his offer through Dr. Max Euwe, president of FIDE, explaining: "I like chess and have played it for years. Many want to see this match if Fischer does not go to Iceland, many will be disappointed." The Soviet Chess Federation, issuing a protest in Moscow, declared that on the basis of what Fischer has already done failed to appear for the scheduled start of the match on Sunday he merits 'unconditional disqualification." Spassky followed up with a statement in Reykjavik saying he was not satisfied with the decision that allowed Fischer a postponement.

That decision was made by Or. Euwe and FIDE. "As I have heard that I have given permission to delay the beginning of the first game for two days, I want to declare that I have not given any such permission, not to the president of FIDE or to anybody else," Spassky said. "All talk about such permission from me, therefore, does not reflect reality." It was learned that the Icelandic Chess Federation had discussed net only Fischer's demand for 30 per cent of the gate receipts but also his desire to be paid the loser's share of the pot in cash now. An American, claiming to be an envoy for Fischer, said the American champ felt that since he had already put in six months of preparation for the match he should have immediate compensation.

The organizers were reported willing to give a check for the loser's share to a third party until the end of the match. rB Homeowner's f- lH JM Supermarkets Tombs of 12th Dynasty are unearthed near Cairo Dispatch of The Times, London CAIRO A team of Egyptian archaeologists has discovered a number of tombs, some dating back to the 12th Dynasty (1991-1778 B.C.), at Fayyum, 55 miles southwest of Cairo.
