2 The Morning News. Wilmington, Del. Wednesday, lu'y 12. 1372 Drug arrest jQrQjfl field-test ist released; police say more expected AP Wlrephoto MATCH BEGINS AT LAST-Differences resolved, world chess champion Boris Spassky (left) of the Soviet Union and American challenger Bobby Fischer study the board yesterday as their title match gets Under way in Reyk javik, Iceland. Fischer was eight minutes late for the start of the first game, and later protested the presence of television cameras and the absence of ice for" the orange juice he drank between moves.

Fischer fights for draw in 1st game sky, Fischer has lost three times while playing black and drawn two games playing white. Silent spectators sat in near darkness in the vast auditorium, most of them too far away to make out what was happening. But above and in 40 moves, no decision Below are yesterday's moves in the uncompleted first game of the world championship chess match in Reykjavik, Iceland. journed with one-half hour of playing time remaining, Fischer's second, Father William Lombardy, said, "Bobby is fighting for a draw." But Robert Byrne, another U.S. grand master, said, "Fischer is in trouble and he might lose." Fischer apparently erred on the 29th move when, he galloped his bishop down a long black diagonal snatching up a Spassky pawn.

After a few moves the bishop was trapped. In the ensuing exchange, Fischer lost the bishop for two pawns. Some experts described the move as an attempt by Fischer to inject some life into a rather dull game. But the general opinion seemed to be that Fischer had fallen into a simple trap. HE appeared to be playing for a draw with the black pieces, which put him at a slight disadvantage.

In five previous games against Spas Compiled from dispatches REYKJAVIK, Iceland-World champion Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union capitalized on an error by U.S. Grand Master Bobby Fischer and left him with a tough fight for a draw last night when the opening game of the world championship chess match was adjourned after iVz hours of play. The adjournment until today came after 40 moves of the first game of the 24-game match and gave Spassky, 35, who was playing white, a slight advantage with a bishop and three pawns. Fischer, 29, had five pawns on the board. Fischer appeared when he arrived eight minutes after the start of the $250,000 match and was welcomed by the capacity crowd of 3,000 with a 30-second ovation.

But as the game progressed, Fischer appeared angry with himself. WHEN the game was ad White Black (Spassky) (Fisi (Spassky) (Fischer) 1. P-Q4 Kt-KB3 K-K2 KI-K5 2. P-QB4 P-K3 23. R-QB1 RxR 3.

An between letters indicates that the first piece was captured by the second.

0-0 indicates castling. Ch indicates check, meaning the king is threatened with capture. 12 meat-exporting nations to be told 'send all you can' 3 Yank planes fall in Saigon troop drop SAIGON (AP) Several hundred South Vietnamese marines were dropped behind enemy lines north of Quang i City yesterday, and ground fire was so heavy it knocked down three American helicopters that flew them in. The helicopters, flown by U.S. Marines from 7th Fleet carriers, made their landings under escort of U.S.

Army Cobra helicopter gunships. "Initial action on the ground was hot as the South Vietnamese marines moved off the helicopters and on to the offensive," said a 7th Fleet announcement. THE crews from two downed helicopters were rescued, the U.S. Command reported but the fate of those aboard the third was not known. Field resports said a fourth ship may have been downed on the same mission.

It was not known here whether the helicopters had dropped off their loads of government troops before they were hit. (UNITED Press International in Paris yesterday quoted North Vietnamese sources as claiming they shot down six American jets Tuesday and captured several of the pilots. The Hanoi News Agency (VNA) said a communique circulated by the North Vietnamese peace delegation that since the beginning of the war, 3.742 U.S. planes have been downed over North Vietnam.) DISCUSSING the Quang Tri City front, a government military spokesman in Saigon said he had no report the ferried-in marines had made contact with the enemy, and no casualty reports were issued. The area the marines assaulted is about 2'i miles northwest of Quang Tri.

It is just across the Thach Han River from the Quang Tri combat base. The base is a former U.S. Army installation that served as the South Vietnamese 3d Infantry Division headquarters before the division was routed by the North Vietnamese, who took Quang Tri on May 1. U.S. military spokesmen said two of the downed helicopters were twin-rotor CH46 Sea Knights that were able to return to South Vietnamese lines before going down.

THE third, a CH53 Sea Stallion that can carry about 70 combat-equipped men, was reported down in the battle area. The latest assault by government marines tightened th South Vietnamese' grip around Quang Tri City. Marines are now pressing on the northern and eastern outskirts and the airborne dug in on the southeastern and southern edges. (THE New York Times quoted reliable military sources in Saigon and on the northern front as claiming government troops will not try to retake Quang Tri City at this time. "(The sources cited the fact the provincial capital is well-defended, and speculated Saigon forces are going to try to surround and isolate the city hoping it falls by attrition.) THE enemy remains entrenched in the city center despite heavy American bombing, and the' paratroopers' efforts to penetrate the city have been stalled for five days.

The South Vietnamese claimed more than 300 enemy killed in fighting around the city yesterday. Government casualties were put at six killed and 13 wounded. MARINES knocked out four tanks in the fighting and captured two more undamaged a spokesman said. The airborne claimed two tanks destroyed. The Viet Cong's Liberation Radio announced the election of a 13-mcmber people's revolutionary committee for Quang Tri Province to be headed by Le Sang, identified as a revolutionary since 1930.

THE committee called for everyone to adopt the slogan, "Each citizenis a fighter, each house a fortress." The broadcast accused the United States of killing hundreds of populated areas bombing of populated areas of of Quang Tri Province. front of the stage, a screen 30 feet across displayed the positions on the board. Outside, silence gave way to the animated conversation of hundreds of chess fans replaying the moves on miniature chess boards, and talking in a dozen languages. Vientiane, only to discuss. Lack of decision-making power leaves Souk needing constant instructions from Pathet Lao headquarters in Sam Neua and could create sometimes lengthy delays.

Also, the greater Indochina war leaves both sides in the Laotian conflict relying upon their more powerful allies to approve any move toward a settlement here. Much of the optimism here is resting on the hope that the Paris peace talks, scheduled resume tomorrow, will bring substantial proposals leading to formal negotiations 'among the Laotians. With Souk already present, should there be a breakthrough in Paris, negotiations here could proceed quickly, the more powerful allies using such talks as a testing ground for proposals in Paris, the diplomatic sources suggest. THE major stumbling block in past talks toward Laotian negotiations has been Pathet Lao insistence that U.S. bombing be halted on "all Lao territory," including the Ho Chi Minh Trail.

case is pressed By John H. Taylor Jr. The Wilmington solicitor's office yesterday began a renewed effort to speed action on drug charges by trying to have a police field test accepted as evidence in preliminary hearings. Victor F. Battaglia, city solicitor, and the state attorney general's office have said the reluctance of Municipal Court judges to accept police tests as standard proof delays the judicial process by as much as two months.

After hearing testimony of witnesses and objections by the defense attorney, Judge Carl Goldstein yesterday reserved decision on whether Audrey W. Grayson should be sent to trial on five drug-related charges including possession of heroin with intent to sell. He said he would give his opinion next Tuesday. G. Thomas Sandbach, assistant city solicitor, spent nearly 50.

minutes of the two-hour preliminary hearing for Ms. Grayson, 20, at the 1600 block W. 6th trying to establish that Wilmington policeman Ronald W. Mullen was qualified to say that a certain white powdery substance is heroin. The preliminary hearing yesterday was to determine whether there is "probably, cause" that a crime was committed and that Ms.

Grayson committed it. Sandbach focused on Mullen's experience and training in dealing with dangerous drugs and narcotics. Mullen has attended two local two-day seminars and spent two weeks of training with the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. MULLEN then testified that the Marquis Reagent test on the white powdery substance uncovered in a raid on Ms. Grayson's apartment turned purple, a positive reaction indicating that the substance was an opium derivative.

Mullen told the court he did not know specifically the nature of the chemical reaction involved in the test. It is a standard reaction, he said. He said that, to his knowledge, only some form of aromatic powder gives the same reaction. Heroin he said has no odor and the powder found in the apartment was odorless. Mullen said, he had performed 40 such tests while in training and about 150 tests since becoming a policeman.

He said that in all cases his test has proven correct when tested by a chemist. L. Vincent Ramunno, defense attorney, told the court that the officer was totally unqualified to say, without a doubt, that the substance was heroin. Having the police field tests admitted as proof that certain substances are drugs is cru-c i a 1 to speeding up the disposition of drug cases, officials say. The severely understaffed office of the state toxicologist is able to provide analyses of confiscated drugs only -for Superior Court trials.

THE toxieologist's staff Includes chemists whose tests and testimony are considered expert by the court. Without such expert testimony the city solicitor has been forced to continue cases while waiting for an analysis from toxicologist. Since the backlog in that office is several months, many cases are dismissed in Municipal Court for failure to prosecute. EPA aides tour in state Two representatives from the Environmental Protection Agency's community affairs department toured air pollution problem sites in New Castle County yesterday. "Trips like this give u.s a much better feel concerning what the problems of a particular area are.

When we receive questions, we are much better able to respond," said Eric Kelly of the EPA. The pair met with members of area environmental groups. They have been meeting with interested citizens in all stales in the region except Virginia. Laos rebels agree to send emissary to end-war talks By Ralph S. Moved The names of 20 persons arrested on drug charges in New Castle County, in casts dating back as far as May 31, were made public by police yesterday.

Col. George J. Bundek, superintendent of state police, said the arrest reports were withheld to avoid hindering investigations by state and county police. He said police are preparing additional cases against "a dozen or more" drug sellers in the county. THE 20 arrests, Bundek said, "are just the beginning of a continuing investigation, with emphasis on the sale of narcotic drugs, that actually got under way in April." Most of the arrests predated i News-Journal's stories naming narcotics pushers in nr.rthern Delaware.

None of the 20 involved anyone named in the stories. A spokesman for Bundek said police are not required by law to announce arrests at the time they take place but will answer inquiries on whether a specific individual was arrested. ALAN Poland, public information officer for the Department of Public Safety, said "it is always good police policy" to withheld arrest information when it might, upset an investigation. Doing our best, police say of drugs Wilmington's public safety commissioner insisted yesterday that city police are doing their job in attempting to control drug pushing at the Wilmington methadone clinic. The commissioner, William J.

O'Rourke, was responding to a claim by Dr. William J. Vandervort, former director of the clinic, that narcotics are sold regularly there. "The police know it. and it should be under control by this time," Vandervort told a reporter earlier this week.

In a statement yesterday, O'Rourke said he has conferred with Vandervort and his successor as head of the clinic, Dr. Joseph A. Glick. "BOTH doctors agree that the Wilmingotn Bureau of Police have cooperated with them in the past," O'Rourke said, adding, "We will continue to do so in the future. "Dr.

Vandervort stated to me that his remarks were not intended as a criticism of the Wilmington Bureau of Police." O'Reourke said the police are "in a difficult position" in dealing with narcotics clinics, since "overzealous enforcement activities in or around the clinic would destroy the rehabilitative LATER last night, O'Rourke said police are making a "maximum effort" to control the drug problem in Wilmington. O'Rourke and Chief of Police John T. McCool both appeared on Radio WDEL's "Voice of the People" talk show. The commissioner said one of the backlogs in the fight against drugs was in the court system. Hp said the number of drug arrests had increased ten times over the past few years, and "the courts can't handle the load." He said the criminal justice system had to be "streamlined" to deal with the problem.

McCOOL said there was "very little" in the recent News-Journal series on heroin hat the police did not know already. As an example, he said that the area around 11th and Walnut named in the News-Journal series, was a "well-known locatica" and that the police had been "very active" in making arrests and conducting investigations in the neighborhood. WASHINGTON (AP) The State Department is calling in the ambassadors of 12 major meat-exporting countries today to tell them that the American market is now "wide open and we will take all you can send." Spokesman Charles W. Bray III, announcing this move, said the aim is to bring down the price of fresh and frozen beef and veal to the American consumers. Undersecretary of State John N.

Irwin has asked envoys of the 12 countries to meet at the State Department today with Treasury Secretary George P. Shultz and representatives of the Department of Agriculture, the Cost of Living Council, the President's Council of Economic Advisers and the office of the special assistant to the President for consumer affairs. BRAY said it is anticipated that President Nixon's freeze voluntary restraints on meat exports, announced in late June, would bring an 11-per-ccnt increase in meat imports this year. The new appeal to the 12 nations for all the beef they can Washington Post News Service VIENTIANE Cautious optimism has developed here after the Pathet Lao leadership's agreement to send a special representative to meet with Laotian Prime Minister Souvanna Phouma and discuss possible negotiations to end Pathet Lao headquarters in the Laotian war. In a cabled message from northern Laos Prince Sou-phanouvong, head of the Neo Lao Hak Sai.

or Pathet Lao, and half-brother of the prime minister, agreed Friday to send Prince Souk Vongsak to Vientiane. Souk is expected in Vientiane this weekend or early next week, knowledgeable sources say. The speed of the exchange of telegrams between leaders of Laos two warring halves, and Souphanouvong's quick agreement, indicate serious negotiations are possible in the near future, diplomatic observers say. BUT they point out that has not yet publicly been given powers to reach a decision with Souvanna in ship here will boost imports still further above the 11 per cent already expected. The 12 nations and the amount of their exports to the U.S.

in 1971 in millions of pounds were: Australia, 600.4 million pounds: New Zealand 250.9; Mexico 78.2; Ireland 74.7; Guatemala 25.3; El Salvador, 3.0; Honduras, 16.7; Nicaragua, 44.8; Costa Rica 39.8; Panama 6.1; the Dominican Republic 12.5, and Haiti, 2.6. It will be explained to the ambassadors that countries which help the United States now with larger meat imports will have this factor considered when import quotas for 1973 are set. DURING 1971 1.112 billion pounds of meat were imported into the United States under the voluntary-restraint pro-gram. Total U.S. meat production this year is estimated at 23.3 billion pounds.

With a boost of more than 11 per cent in meat imports, in vicinity of 1.3 billion pounds will be furnished to American consumers with the hope that this will bring down soaring meat prices. Circus area of Belfast, and another man died in the hospital from gunshot wounds suffered earlier. Elsewhere in Northern Ireland, police said gunmen stole more than $3,700 in three robberies in County Armagh and bombed a pub at Ballagy, .40 miles north of Belfast. No injuries were reported. The killings brought the death toll in three years of violence in the province to 421.

The province's British government, meanwhile, brought in more troops and ordered Protestants to change the route of today's Orange Order parades, originally planned by the Protestants to skirt the edges of Belfast's Catholic neighborhoods. To Protestants, these marches symbolize their determination to stay British and prevent a united Ireland Most Catholics regard the marches as a provocative display. 4 die in Ulster on eve of parade Fireworks-plant blast kills 5 ROSWEI.L, N.M. (UPI)-An explosion and fire roared through the nation's largest fireworks manufacturing plant yesterday killing five employes. Don Robertson, plant man-ager for Longhorn Manufacturing said he had just left the building when the explosion occurred.

He said the cause of the blast was not known. "We simply do not know what happened," Robertson said. "We had just left for lunch and all of a sudden, the building was in flames." Rob-e said only eight employes were at work because the remainder were on annual leave following the rush of business during the Fourth of July. Convention noise a health hazard? CHICAGO UP Caution: The Democratic National Convention may be hazardous to health. And if it were engaged in interstate commerce, it could be in violation of federal law, says Theodore Berland, Chicago antinoise campainger and author of the book, "The Fight for Quiet." Starting against a background of noise, he said, the delegates will shout to be heard.

That will increase the noise and they'll have to shout louder, until they reach the point where the ear begins to stop hearing the frequencies of speech, Berland said. He predicted the convention will hit a sound level of at least 90 decibels. The Federal Occupational Safety and Health Act passed last year, he said, limits the amount of noise exposure to 90 decibels over an eight-hnur day, for business engaged in interstate commerce. Compiled from despatches BELFAST Gunmen killed three persons in Northern Ireland yesterday and another died of wounds suffered earlier in violence between British troops and Protestants and Roman Catholics. The killings came one day before the Protestant Orange Order parades, expected to trigger even more sectarian fighting.

One of those killed was a British solider who was hit by a sniper bullet as his patrol cleared the rubble of a bombed flower shop in Londonderry. A 17-year-old youth was killed in an exchange of fire between soldiers and gunmen in Belfast's Catholic Anderson-town district. The army said the youth was believed to be a sniper. The body of a man in his 20s, bound and gagged, was found earlier in Ihe day in field in Ihe Protestant Carlisle Rogers says Pope's POW efforts rebuffed ROME of State William P. Rogers said yesterday that the Vatican has tried to obtain the release of U.S.

prisoners of war in North Vietnam but "so far to no avail." There have been hints that the Vatican has initiated contacts on behalf of the American prisoners, but this was believed the first time an American official has drawn a clear picture of the Holy See's efforts. Rogers spoke at a news conference in Rome shortly after meeting with Pope Paul VI for an hour in private audience at the Vatican. On the eve of the resumption of the Paris peace talks, the Pope told Rogers he hoped the negotiations would lead to a "realistic and final" agreement "according to the just wishes of all the Vietnamese people." Rogers said the Vatican attempted "directly or indirectly" to try to arrange an exchange of prisoners of war; to obtain a report from the North Vietnamese about the missing; to assure the delivery of more mail to the prisoners and to assure that the North Vietnamese treat the prisoners in a humanitarian way according to the provisions of the Geneva Convention. r1 -ii--- i--! i-.
