Doctors in Kansas City said the ailment was related to those for which Truman was hospitalized in February 1971. Doctors at Research Hospital and Medical Center said the 88-year-old former president's condition was "satisfactory" and he was "in high spirits." The attending physician. Dr Wallace H.

Graham, said he decided to hospitalize Truman also "to check his status ith his condition when he was hospitalized in February. 1971 Routine examinations are planned to include X-ray studies of the lower gastro-intestinal tract." "He is doing quite well." Dr. (iraham said, "but a re-examination is indicated periodically." Truman arrived by car accompanied by his wife. Bess. He talked with hospital personnel as he was taken to his room by wheel chair It was the eighth time Truman has been hospitalized since he left the White House in 1953 He was briefly hospitalized in Research Hospital as recently as last Wednesday because of a fall he suffered in his home.

There were an estimated 7.000 at the remote mountain CLOSE-OUT nc TCtD MAUI KNIT YARNS 20-30-40 OFF Chess Chief Schfafffe Royal Poinciana Plaza.

Slit trenches for garbage and human waste were dug and promptly covered over when full. Mrs Dorothy E. Davidson, executive director of the Colorado chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, called the state's efforts to block the event "a "It was comical because it had no tragic consequences," she said after climbing to the site and touring it Saturday "At the same time, we should compliment state and local officials for their wisdom in not forcing the issue and precipitating a violent confrontation." The ACLU went fruitlessly to both state and federal courts to force an end to the state's road block.

Finally, however, it was the young people who decided the issue. About 3.000 marched out of Granby at 3 Friday heading for the lake and outnumbered police decided to let them through. The young people, had been piling up in Granby for seven days and townspeople said they were glad to see them go. "I'll be glad when this is over," Ken Vinsonhaler said at his motel west of Granbv. "I've been losing $100 to $200 a day.

The tourists aren't com I i lit site Many of them had lugged their bedding and provisions on their back for as far as 16 miles. Some 750 climbed a tortuous 1.5-mile mountain trail that rises 1.000 feet up with a county road on the edge of Grand Lake into the Arapaho National Forest. Still another estimated 3.000 made the long walk up the dusty road 7-'z miles from the paved highway, S. 34. to the base of the mountain trail.

The crowd included outlaw motorcycle gang members, many with their club colors on their backs and wearing German helmets, who roared through Granby on their "chopper" style machines headed for the mountain gathering It was not a music festival but instead a "gathering of the tribes" or communes from across the nation and was arranged by the Rainbow Family of Living Light from Eugene Ore They came to meditate in the forest, to chant prayers together, talk over things and play flutes and guitars and drums under the spruce and aspen trees. Gov. John A. Love had said it was the state's aim to prevent the gathering, not just discourage the long-haired young people. But the state's best laid plans collapsed under the weight of thousands who came to Granby.

When the state barred all access to the campground, the young people hiked across the mountains to get there For a time, the state attempted to bar ail food from the lake, but gave up on the idea after three days. Instead, they settled on a plan to bar the main roads to the site There were dire warnings of health epidemics, but physicians at the lake said things PIANO ORGAN SALESMAN Wanted by Victor Pianos Organs at the Palm Beach Mall Must play organ.

May Fail Continued from Page Al Spassky behavior under a difficult set of circumstances obviously showed he had been eager for a match with Fischer, and has been distressed by his tactics But he has constantly acted ith grace under pressure, and all of his responses have been gentlemanlike.

If Fischer is disqualified, a series of complicated legal battles is going to delight lawyers for a long time. There is. for instance, the matter of the prize money. If it is decided that the Spassky-Fischer match never legally started, there will be no problem But if the match has indeed started. Spassky will be the automatic winner because of Fischer's disqualification, and he will be entitled to demand 62 5 per cent of the $125,000 purse Fischer will be entitled to nothing.

The Russians already are claiming that the match officially started with Saturday night's claim there can be no legal start to any chess match until the first move is made and the clock is punched Euwe said that there was nothing in the International Chess Federation rules to cover this contingency. No player previously has been disqualified for not appearing for a championship match. "New rules will have to be formulated." Euwe said rather grimly. "Brand new rules." There also is the possibility that the Icelandic Chess Federation will bring a suit against Fischer. The American has never signed a contract.

But he did send the International Chess Federation a telegram saying he would play the match in Iceland, under protest That telegram would constitute legal acceptance, in Kuw-e's opinion.
