Typical Teenager Land Return Mac's Objective Judge Shuns Haldiman, Harless Suit American Boy May Win World Chess Championship From Red CLIFTON Special )-Governor McFarland said yesterday that "when xxx elected to the U.S. Senate" he carry to Washington his fight to have the government return 150,000 acres of land to Arizona. McFarland, seeking to regain the congressional seat he lost in said in 1955 that he, O.

M. Lassen, land commissioner, and Robert Morrison, attorney general, discovered the government owed the state 212,773 acres. He said some 62,000 acres, valued at about $83,100,000, has been recovered. McFarland declared the lands are being put Superior Judge W. C.

Patterson, of Prescott, yesterday declined toi largely on a lease basis with an anticipated yield of $4 per acre to the school operating fund. McFarland said Senator Gold-water (R-Ariz) "has directed his efforts toward pressuring the government to auction land to private interests." The governor added: "Until the state recovers the land which is ours by law such federal sales are an invasion of state's rights; they deprive Arizona schools of a source of financial support which would serve to lighten the tax burden on school districts." Phoenix Bets Placed With U.S. Agent Many Phoenix area bettors will, be shocked to learn that yoster-i day they placed thousands of dol-' lars worth of bets with a federal! agent.

I.VMGW In outward appearance and b2havior young Bobby Fischer is much like any other teenager. But his grand passion is chess, and having recently become an international grand master, he's now aiming for the world championship held by Soviet Russia. NEW YORK (AP) There's a Batman comic book on his bedside table and a rock 'n' roll program blaring over his radio. He's 1 gangly, and crew-cut. But Batman is sprawled over an open chess book and his nail-bitten fingers are deftly moving chess pieces over the black and white board which means more to him than anything else in his life.

Bobby Fischer doesn't want to be a baseball star or a football player or the most popular fellow at the prom. He wants to be chess champion of the world and it seems a pretty sure bet he will be. Most Americans don't know it, but their honor in a big international contest with Russia is riding on the thin shoulders of this 15-year-old boy from Brooklyn. Bobby is hailed by the experts as the greatest chess mind the world has produced in many years. HE HAS become an international grand master the youngest in the long history of the game and will meet the world's top seven players this year in a challengers' tournament.

Both sides agreed to the appointment of three inspectors to examine the machines so that the machines can be cleared for the election.

One man who called to place a bet under the code name "The Bagman" identified himself when Scott told him the telephone cail was being traced. Other bettors, telephoning the es tablishment placed their bets totally unaware they were talking to a federal agent. Still others cut off their conversations on becoming suspicious over the fact that it was not a familiar voice which answered their calls.

The winner will get a crack at the present world champion, Russia's Mikhail Botvinnik. Even people uninterested in chess are beginning to feel it would be a fine feather in Uncle Sam's cap to have Bobby whip Russia's best players in a game that commands great attention in Europe and South America. If he makes it this try, he'll be the youngest world champion in chess history and only the second American ever to occupy that lofty position. The first U.S. champion, was Paul Mor-phy, who turned the trick at 21 a century ago.

BOBBY, who could give a clam lessons on how to keep its mouth shut, won't say what he thinks of his chances. Nobody else thinks he will make it this time. But then, nobody thought he crmld win the American chess champion at 14 and nobody expected him to do very well at the recent international chess tournament in Yugoslavia. As the big chess all champions in their own countries, sat down opposite the bony young American, each informed him that he would be beaten. Some were nicer than others they said they were sorry to have to defeat him.

THEY DIDNT need to be. Most of them didn't. Bobby playing his first international competition, pulled out of his early difficulties and tied for fifth place winning his place in the star-studded challengers. Bobby is a tall boy with the classic adolescent slump and light brown hair. He eyes strangers in general and reporters in particular with glum distrust.

"Most reporters ask stupid questions. do I eat for breakfast? That's not important. Why don't they ask about chess?" He said. oo 1030 East Camelback v- fPjO 100-- A OPEN MONDAY EVENING TIL 9 1, ''M rlll'liP if SfiP Hi t. MON.
