Sato had tried to improve Sino-Japanese relations but Peking had refused to deal with him because of his pro-Nationalist China policy.

By ROBERT LIU TOKYO (AP) When he was a youngster, Kakuei Tan-aka's classmates called him the Mole. Today he's some-ti'me known as the Computerized Bulldozer and generally as Kaku-san. The nicknames reflect the tenacity, informal style and life trials of Japan's new prime minister. Tanaka, 54 and the millionaire head of a large construction firm, was elected president of the ruling Liberal Democratic party today, a post which makes him head of the government. Tanaka was the son of a poor farmer in Niigata on the central coast.

One of seven children the rest were girls he got only a high school education. But he started a small construction business in Tokyo, studied law at nights and with determination, drive and ability built up his fortune. ENTERING politics in 1947 28, he was appointed minister of postal services at 39, the youngest cabinet minister in modern Japanese history. He later served as finance minister, party secretary general and, until his move to the top, was, chief of the Ministry of think too much about it. I depend on my intuition to give a straight 'yes'of 'no answer." HIS quick mind, blunt tactics and tendency for rapid action gained him the nick-n a in the Computerized Bulldozer.

He sports a small mustache and speaks in a hoarse but emphatic voice. Hisashi Shirakawa, one of Tanaka's former classmates, recalls: "When he passed his house on the way to school, we called out, 'Hey, and he would respond with As it was very cold in our district, he always wound silk wadding around his nec'K which almost buried his head. It gave him the very appearance of a mole." Tanaka's living habits today are rigid. He gees to bed early and wakes up around 6 a.m. He spends his first hour reading newspapers or meeting early visitors.

His eating habits are simple, and some friends find them incongruous with this palatial Japanese-style home. THE house is behind high walls in 21- acres of landscaped gardens. There is a Western-style annex for guests. In an autobiography, "My PROFILE "He's just a kid," Tanka's mother quietly told newsmen when he announced his candi-dacy for the party presidency. "There's no need for him to be pulling someone else down in order, to become prime minister." TANAKA conquered a bad case of stuttering when he was a youngster by singing ballads at the top of his voice from mountain tops overlooking the sea.

His aides say he may appear impatient over problems because he hurries through them. But they say this does not mean he is slipshod. "I follow a policy of one case, three minutes," Tanaka explained once to visitors. "After getting all the facts of a case, it is a waste of time to AP Wlrepholo NOW IT'S MY TURN Boris Spassky, Russian world chess champion, is followed hy a member of the Russian delegation to the championship matches in Reykjavik, Iceland, after they walked out of a meeting with representatives of Hobby Fischer, Spassky's challenger from America.

Came the draw to see who would play white for the first game and Fischer was asleep. So he sent his second, while Spassky was there in person. The world champion, 35, apparently decided he had had enough of Fischer's antics and issued a statement that said: "Fischer broke the rules of holding the contest by refusing to come for the ceremony of opening the match. By this, Fischer insulted me, personally, and the chess federation of the U.S.S.R., which I He added that since Fischer had broken the rules he "must bear the just punishment before there is a hope of holding the match. Only after this can I return to the question about the possibility of holding the match." HE also demanded a personal apology.

"I cannot see Bobby apologizing," said Fred Cramer of the U.S. Chess Federation. But Fischer's lawyer, Paul Marshall, and his second, Father William Lombardy, were more optimistic. "We are hopeful we will be able to solve our differences with the Russians," said Marshall after a Vk hour session with Spassky's advisers last night. Marshall said he and Father Lombardy, a burly Catholic priest and international chess grand master, will sit down again with the Russians today to try to solve the problems.

"We are making progress," Father Lombardy said. NONE of the Americans wanted to say just what the differences are beyond confirming that Spassky and the Soviet Chess Federation delivered two i 1 worded protests to the International Chess Federation. However other informed chess sources said the documents demanded that FIDE punish Fischer for his failure to turn up for the first scheduled game Sunday. They also included a demand for a personal apology from Fischer. Fischer remained in a villa provided by the Icelandic organizers "ready an eager to start play," according to U.S.

REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPD-Tlie Russians broke off their talks with representatives of American chess challenger Bobby Fischer today, throwing serious doubts on the possibility the twice-postponed world championship match with the USSR's Boris Spas-sky would ever be held. "This is a very bad development and I am now very pessimistic about the match," said Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE).

The reason for the breakup was not immediately disclosed but representatives of Spas-sky, the reigning champion, said they would ex-plain later at a news' conference, "THE Russians said today they don't want any further talks with the Americans," Euwe said. The talks between representatives of Fischer and Spassky started yesterday aft-e Spassky triggered the second postponement of the scheduled 24-game series, saying Fischer had insulted him by not showing up for the pre-match ceremonies. He said he would not play until FIDE punished Fischer and Fischer personally apologized. Officials hoped the match could start tomorrow. Earlier, the official Soviet New Agency Tass criticized Fischer and said he and his backers planned to use a computer to try to win Spassky's title.

"IT has been learned in journalist circles here that Fischer's patrons have worked out rather original playing tactics for the match in which they were not guided by chess interests," Tass said. The news agency said Fischer's followers had worked out an arrangement with a computer center to transmit each move and the computer would calculate a counter-move. The championship was scheduled to start Sunday, but Fischer, a 29-year-old chess genius from Brooklyn, failed to show, mostly because he wanted more money than the $125,000 purse put up by the organizers. All appeared saved when a British millionaire banker and chess fan dug into his own pocket to offer another $125,000. Fischer was on the next plane to Reykjavik and arrived yesterday morning, where he quickly left the airport not to be seen since.

Police and FBI agents surrounded the craft and one FBI man shouted through a bullhorn: "As long as you have that little girl, we don't want to take the plane up. If you free the little girl, they'll take the plane up." WHEN there was no response, the agent asked, "Will you trade that little girl for me?" "Shut up," Smith answered from the plane. Buffalo special FBI agent Richard H. Ashe said FBI agents were on the plane itself. "I'm not going to say how many or how they got there," he said.

He said an FBI agent fol-lowed Smith out of the aircraft. The suspect tossed a knife to Ashe as he deplaned. "WE had his family, friends and minister" at the airport in suburban Cheektowaga, Ashe said. "All of us talked to him with a bullhorn and finally convinced him to give up." He said authorities assured Smith he would not be shot if he left the plane. There was no immediate explanation of how Smith was able to board the plane.

Neither was it clear where he wanted to be taken. The plane, Flight 464, had been scheduled to leave the Buffalo airport for Laguardia Airport in New York at 8 a.m. Study Aims HP To Save Caribou Herd VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) A remnant of caribou herds that once grazed along the border is being studied by the Wilderness Re-search Center and the University of Idaho to see if it can be saved. The Selkirk Mouitain herd, a small one that includes the only caribou of the subspecies remaining in the contiguous United States, is the subject.

The animals represent large herds that have been wiped out along the entire southern edge of their range in North America, a range that included the Canadian border area in the Northwest, Minnesota and Maine. Dr. Albert Erickson of the Wilderness Research Center said their plight is due to a requirement for a special fragile environment and to the caribous' migratory tendencies. "Migration renders them exceedingly vulnerable to man-induced mortality factors," he said, "even when the animals are afforded full legal protection." The study is being funded by the Washington State Sportsmen's Council, the Inland Empire Big Game Council, the West Kootenay Outdoorsmen, the Priest Lake Sportsmen's Association, the University of Idaho, the British Columbia Fish Game Branch, the Forest Service and the Idaho Fish Game Department.
