A Seventh Fleet announcement said that "initial action on the ground wajs hot as the South Vietnamese marines moved off the helicopters and on to the offensive." The marines were landed 2l2 miles north-northwest of the city, on the eastern side of the Thach Han River opposite the Quang Tri combat base. For the fifth successive day, North Vietnamese forces stalled the South Vietnamese drive to recapture the city which was lost 10 weeks ago.

Tank-led North Vietnamese infantrymen and South Vietnamese paratroopers and marines battled at four points on the northeastern and southeastern outskirts of Quang Tri. The Saigon command reported that 104 North Vietnamese troops had been killed and eight tanks destroyed, six of them in one battle, by U.S. naval gunfire and South Vietnamese artillery support. Goverrrment losses were six" men killed and 13 wounded, the Saigon command said. "The North Vietnamese are in there to stay," said Capt.

Don Dickenson, Bradenton, SAIGON, South Vietnam, July 11 (AP) -r- United States Marine helicopters lifted South Vietnamese troops into a combat assault north of Quang Tri today. They encountered heavy fire behind enemy lines that knocked down at leat three of the helicopters, the U.S. Command said. The landings, by South Vietnamese marines, put government forces on three sides of the enemy-held provincial capital. U.S.

military spokesmen said the crew members of two CH-46 medium helicopters were safe, having gone down inside South Vietnamese lines after being hit by antiaircraft and small-arms fire. The fate of thope aboard the third helicopter, a CH-53, the biggest U.S. troop carrying helicopter, was not determined. i An announcement from the U.S. Seventh Fleet indicated that troops from the two CH-46s already had been dropped off.

The helicopters flew from the carriers based off shore. Whether troops were aboard the third craft when it was downed was not determined.

"The guys who are there have been ordered to stay there." "You can put 105 and even 155 (millimeter) artillery those bunkers and you'll only givethema headache," he said. In the air war, the U.S. command said cloudy weather cut fighter-bomber strikes against North Vietnam to 199 yesterday, most of them in the southern half of the country. Air Force F-4 Phantom jets from Thailand carried out the major attacks of the day, setting off fires and 80 secondary explosions at fuel depots in the Mu Gia Pass area, near the Laotian border 70 miles north of the Demilitarized Zone, the command said. The U.S.

Command reported that a Navy A-4 Skyhawk was lost 20 miles northeast of Thanh Hoa and that the pilot was missing. It was the sixty-ninth American plane downed over North Vietnam since the resumption of full-scale bombing April 6. A total of 68 crewmen are missing, the U.S. Command said. North Vietnam said its gunners in Ha Bac Province, north of Hanoi, shot down a U.S.

Fischer needs 12' points to win; Spassky 12, or a draw, to retain his title. A playe gets one point for winning a game and a half point foi a An unofficial poll among chess experts assembled in Reykjavik showed Fischer to be the favorite. The prize money was in-creased to $250,000 from $125,000 througli a wealthy Brit ish banker, Jim Slater. Fischer, 29 years old, has a higher points rating on the in-ternatonal scale than Spassky, 35, is defending the world title he won from fellow countryman Tigran Petrosian in Moscow in 1969. RENT A PIAflO Former Texas Official Is Charged With Fraud two minutes ahead and Spassky was on time.

Last-minute adjustments were made on the stage of Reykjavik's 2500-seat sports hall. The playing table was shortened, the green and white marble chessboard constructed for the fourth time, and the overhead lighting changed. Earlier, Fischer had made a last minute demand to stop televising the first game of the series. "There will be no TV filming tonight, but we hope some other arrangements can be made so they can film later during the match," said Fred Cramer, vice president of the United States Chess Federation. Fischer said the television cameras, hidden behind cloth-covered scaffolding above the Nimzo-Indiaji defense was shaping up.

Fischer has three losses and two draws with Spassky in five previous games. Fischer has never beaten the Russian playing black. Each player has 2'2 hours to make 40 moves. In the end, game-time pressure can be decisive. Between moves Fischer or Spassky paced at the rear of the stage.

Several times Fischer consulted with the chief referee. Contemplating his moves, Fischer placed his left elbow on the padded rim of he table, his long fingers still on his temple, or he pivoted in his chair. Spassky favored the position of having both forearms on the table. After Fischer's- ninths move, Spassky was a' nowhere to be seen. He had disappeared behind the backstage curtain.

His clock devoured time in his absence. Spassky returned to the table, From Font-Dispatch Win Servlrn REYKJAVIK, Iceland, July 11 The World Chess Championship began today before Bobby Fischer, the American challenger, arrived. Champion Boris Spassky of Russia arrived exactly on time at 5 p.m. (noon, St. Louis time), waited a minute, then calmly pushed his queen's pawn forward two spaces.

Referee Lothar Schmid of West Germany pushed the button on the time clock and the match had begun. Fischer sometimes chooses to be late to tournaments and matches. Then seven minutes after Spassky began the game, Fischer appeared from offstage left. With long strides he sped to the black leather swivel chair placed behind the white side of the board. Applause which greeted Fischer's arrival arose when Spassky moved forward from the side of the stage where he been waiting to shake Fischer's hand.

The American took a minute to regard the board and the queen's pawn opening Spassky favors. He moved his king's side knight to the queen's bishop three square. Spassky seated himself and replied with a threat to the center of the board with his queen's bishop's pawn. Fischer pushed his king's pawn forward a square.

WASHINGTON, July 11 (AP) A federal grand jury in Fort Worth has indicted Waggoner Carr, former attorney general of Texas, on charges stemming from an alleged attempt to defraud an insurance company, the Department of Justice announced yesterday. Indicted with Carr were Joe P. Novotny, former president of the Sharpstown State Bank of Houston, and Jonn Usorio, a former insurance commissioner for the state of Texas and president of National Bankers Life Insurance Co. of Dallas from 1962 to 1970.

Peterson said that Mr. Nixon could not grant credits unless the "old credits" the lend-lease debts were paid off. He indicated that if a trade package was agreed on, the President would ask Congress for authority to grant most-favored-nation treatment to the Russians. The formula being worked out by Nixon Administration officials would include, the settlement of the lend-lease debt at a figure large enough to satisfy the Administration, but with an interest rate low enough to meet Soviet objections. At the end of World War II, the United States decided that Russia owed 2.6 billion dollars for civilian goods that were still in use, and it wrote off the cost of war materiel.
