Lame-duck outlook cloaks I- New Castle County Council Some heed Md. warning on bay fouling 0 AP Wlrephoto WHAT'S A COUPLE Spassky (center), the Soviet chess champion, shares a toast with Theodore Tremblay, U.S. charge d'affaires in Reykjavik Saturday night at the opening of the specially prepared theater where Spassky and Bobby Fischer, the U.S. challenger, were to play yesterday, Fischer never showed.

And Spassky reportedly said he could wait another two days after Fischer was granted a postponement. At left is Russian Ambassador Sergei Astayin. He had no comment. to the political plans of all the Republican councilmen is the confusion still shrouding the party's choice of candidate for the county's top office. BUCK and State Rep.

William L. Frederick, R-Cedar Crest, have been mentioned by high party officials as the top choices for the office. Trouble has developed, however, in that neither Buck nor Freder-ick have shown any willingness to run for county executive. Both Harry H. Lambert, a former Levy Court commissioner, and Leo J.

Dugan county recorder of deeds, have announced they are seeking the Republican nomination. County party leaders have thus far rejected both men as the Republican county executive candidate, however. In the meantime, the Democrats apparently have settled on State Sen. Melvin A. Sla-wik, i D-Stratford, as their county executive candidate.

Slawik has run a low-profile campaign so far, by traveling the coffee circuit, holding fund raising dinner-dances, arous-ing party workers, familiarizing himself with county issues, issuing an occasional press release, and plotting campaign strategy. can councilman, Council President C. Douglass Buck Jr. has shied away from party leaders, suggestions that he run for county executive, and both Richard Sincock, of Fairfax, and Charles E. Hughes, of Silverside Heights, have announced their candidacies for the General Assembly Sin-cock for a House seat; Hughes for a Senate seat.

SO unless Buck gives way to pressure to run, and unless Hughes' and Sincock's plans are upset, the only incumbent councilmen returning to their district seats could be Democrats w. Alva Hollis, of Wilmington, and Jospeh F. Toner, of New Castle. The oth-er councilman, Joseph R. Biden of Faulkland, is the Democratic candidate for the U.S.

Senate. The change in council faces could have a significant impact on major policies forged by the council through delicate and informal agreements. The council has, for example, imposed "freezes" on development in a good part of the county, by tabling resolutions approving the plans of developments. Then, too, the fact that many of the councilmen will not be seeking re-election could have a bearing on coun cil action on a number of controversial issues between now and January, when- the incumbents' terms end. THE council has still to act on ordinances proposed to regulate helicopter landing pads and heliports, for example.

The local version of coastal zoning creating a special "high impact" zoning category for some industrial uses also remains before the council. The proposal is designed as a back-up for the state Coastal Zoning Act. It has the blessing of Conner, Gov. Russell W. Peterson and the county planning department.

But it also has been condemned by the county planning board and most major industries in the county-including the Du Pont Co. FINALLY, there is the perennial issue of public housing. County housing officials and the council have struck on what may be a successful for-m 1 a for distributing a planned 300-500 units of public housing through each of the six council districts by 1980. But the mention of public housing or of more housing, period can create a volatile political situation in some areas of the county. Adding a note of uncertainty analysis By Bob Frump If not deposed, the Republican leadership of New Castle County government may at the very least be thoroughly shuffled, both at the county executive and county council i levels.

Republican William J. Conner has announced he will not seek re-election, thus giving him the official status of a lame-duck county executive. Less noticeable and still unofficial are the webbed feet sprouting on the four Republican county councilmen who have constituted a council majority for the last two years. As things stand now, none of them are definitely certain they will seek re-election to the council. HENRY R.

Folsom of Newark, has been the only Re-publican councilman to announce for a county office. And Folsom, apparently unsure of how party leaders view his bid for the county council presidency, has recently said he is uncertain whether he will follow through with his candidacy for that spot on the ticket. Of the three other Republi Chess has nothing on moves in Iceland Compiled from Dispatches Chess, at least the way grand masters play it, is a complicated game. But it's nothing compared to what is going on at Reykjavik, Iceland, where the first of 24 matches for the world chess title were to have started yesterday. Bobby Fischer, the U.S.

challenger, seems to think he's getting rooked, so he didn't show up. Russia's Boris Spassky, the current champion, must be getting stale. He's been in Iceland more than a week. BUT he may only have to stay another two days. Dr.

Max Euwe, president of the World Chess Federation, decided to give Fischer until Tuesday to start playing. According to chess rules, a player can get a postponement only because of illness. Americans in Reykjavik, claiming to represent Fischer, say the 29-year-old holdout had two cables sent to Iceland asking for a postponement. Neither cable arrived. To compound that, none of the Americans claiming to represent Fischer can prove their contention.

BUT in a desperate effort to save the match, Euwe reluctantly agreed. "The simplest and maybe correct way to deal with this would be to disqualify Fischer from championship play," Euwe said in announcing the postponement. He said he took the action primarily to protect the Icelandic financial backers of the match and to preserve the image of the game itself. India Pakistan sign agreement would be issued and that talks would continue. However, sources said the accord calls for the two nations to avoid force in settling their disputes and stipulates that any dispute be settled without intervention by a third party.

The agreement, reached in last minute face-to-face talks between the two leaders, came Monday, July 3. 1372 temporarily posted on the Chesapeake Bay. "Boating is light to moderate. But it is not as heavy as it should be for this time of year," said Inspector Walter Raul of the Maryland Marine Police. "Apparently some people are following our advice." Friday, the Maryland Department of Health ordered a ban on swimming and water contact sports in the bay because of sewage and chemical pollution washed into the bay from the recent heavy flooding.

THE situation was particu- lary bad at mouths of such streams as the Susquehanna and Patuxent Rivers, according to the Coast Guard. Raul says the marine police enforced the swimming ban by asking people to get out of the water. The marine police also suggested that boats remain at anchor because of the debris floating in the bay. "We have no power to stop the people from using their boats. All we can do is warn them it is hazardous," Raul said.

A Coast Guard official says the siuation is extremely dangerous to boats and that it would take a week to 10 days for the (bay to flush itself. "If you take a boat out this weekend," he says. "It's safe to say you're looking for an accident." THE Department of health order also bans clamming and oyster taking. However individuals fishing and crabbing is allowed, provided one does not go into the water. A Coast Guard spokesman says he observed many of the party fishing boats remaining in the Baltimore area.

Meanwhile, Maryland environmental control officials say they are worried about the large quantities of fresh water the storms brought into the bay. Low salinity levels threatens the clam and oyster growing. Joseph H. Manning, deputy director of the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, has predicted a massive shellfish kill because of this fresh water intrusion. Spokesmen in the department say the kill could be as much as two million bushels of oysters and one million bushels of clams.

I Icelandic officials said Fischer was not satisfied with the agreement to give the winner five-eighths of the $125,000 dollar prize money, plus 30 per cent of the television income. They said at the last minute Fischer also asked for a 30 per cent share of the gate receipts and 60 per cent of the television take.

OZS to do with what they predicted could be as much as 50,000 tons of sludge-soaked absorbent material. A spokesman for the Environmental Protection Agency said the material hud been spread along the river's banks over the weekend. But he said the officials are not yet sure how they will finally dispose of the material once it has done its job of soaking up the nation's worst inland oil spill in history. MORE than six million tons of oil sludge was lifted from the lagoons of oil reclamation plants during flooding caused by tropical storm Agnes. The sludge now sits, thick and grimy, coating plants and shrubs and dripping from trees, all along a 16-mile stretch of the river.

The EPA spokesman said federal state and local officials had given permission to burn the material, which is called but that officials have decided to investigate another disposal possibility. He said even though the pro posed bonfire would not cause undue air pollution, officials feared a strong public reaction against it. Workmen supervised by the EPA and the Coast Guard be gan spreading the sorbent, an insulation-type material with an affinity for oil, on the river-banks over the weekend. THE sorbent, according to EPA spokesman, can soak up ten times its weight in oil. He also said that workmen began spraying the material from a hastily built raft to hasten the clean-up process.

phrase two," the spokesman said, "is more difficultscraping the stuff up." He said that back hose, bulldozers and shovel-wielding men would all be used to lift the sorbent into disposal trucks. The third phase, the spokes-m a continued, involves finally disposing the estimated 10.000 to 50,000 tons of sludge filled sorbent. for the man who really knows beer Draught beer lovers and canned beer lovers celebrate.
