Fairbanks, July 1,1972 Ireland under Protestant 'siege' BELFAST (AP) Northern Inland took on an air of siege today as masked and i formed ProtestanU Ihrew up hundreds of barricades in at least 10 cities in defiance of British troops. More than 20,000 hooded men joined by some masked women, sealed off Protestant areas and brought normal busy Saturday life to a virtual standstill throughout the province. British troops and Roman Catholics made no attempt to break down or crash through the buses, trucks, cars and rubble that sealed off Protestant areas. Some violence shattered the few days of peace enjoyed by the province since the Catholic- based Irish Republican Army No veto reason say PBS backers 'WASHINGTON (AP) Congressional advocates of longer- term financial help and a louder local voice for noncommer- eial broadcasting say President Nixon is concealing his real reason for vetoing their compromise bill. "I confidently predict that this veto will be viewed by many as one more element in the administration's strategy to influence the tone and content of television broadcasting in this country," said House Speaker Carl Albert, after receiving Nixon's veto message Friday.

In a move that caught congressional leaders by surprise, the President vetoed a two-year $155-million authorization bill for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The legislation, Nixon said, U.S., Yemen renew talks I (AP) Yemen and the United States have agreed to resume diplomatic after a five-year rupture, a Yemeni Embassy spokesman said today. Yemen broke off diplomatic lies with Washington in June -1967 after Arab governments "accused the United Slates of backing Israel against the Arabs during the six day war. Secretary of Slate William P. Rogers today was on his way lo San 1 a 1 capital of Yemen, after his visit to Jakarta, It will be the first visit ever by a U.S.

secretary of state to Yemen, the Yemen spokesman said. In another development, Assistant Secretary of State Joseph Sisco was quoted as saying the Soviet Union refuses to discuss an arms limitation agreement in the Middle East with the United Slates. In an interview with the correspondent of the Lebanese daily An Nahar, Sisco was as saying: "The Soviet Union will not accept discussion of arms i i a tion in the area as part of a political discussion or a i i cal solution to the problem." "offers a poor approach" lo financing noncommercial radio- TV. Instead, the President called anew for his legislation containing a one-year $45 million authorization, already rejected by Congress. The vetoed bill was returned to the House Commerce Committee.

The bill's who would have to muster a two-thirds majority vote in order to override Nixon's veto, pointed to the ease i which the legislation originally cleared Congress--256 to 69 in the Houst- and 82 to 1 in Ehe Senate. This would indicate a an override maneuver would stand a good chance, said Rep. Torbert H. Macdonald, chairman of the House communications subcommittee and chief author of the legislation. Macdonald called Nixon's veto an "incredible sacrifice of the public interest on the altar of partisan politics." Despite the President's "shallow protestations in veto message, I am absolutely convinced that this administration has decided a their interests will best be served by muzzling the voice of public broadcasting directly." Nixon contended the legislation "ignores some serious questions which must be resolved before any long-range i broadcasting financing can be soundly devised, and before the statulory fratnework for i broadcasting is changed." CPB currently operates on a $35 million, one-year a i a i Nixon's veto "came as a complete surprise--we were bowled over by it," said a CPB spokesman who estimated more a half of the money in ttie vetoed bill would have gone to help local stations.

Olio Schlaak, station manager of in Milwaukee, said, "I don't really i there's a lot of to i whole business of PliS a i over local stations. Local stations need a good, strong national service." He said he thinks Js'ixon "is afraid of a strong network service."

One man was killed and two wounded early today in shooting incidents in Belfast. A youth was wounded at Luigan, 20 miles away.

There were other incidents elsewhere but no major outbreak of violence. The body of a man who had been hooded, gagged and shot was aiso found in midmorning on the fringe of Belfast's Woodvale area, itself surrounded by barricades. It was Northern Ireland's 392nd casually in three years of communal strife. The Protestant barricades sprang up overnight in protest against Catholic barricaded areas in Londonderry, despite appeals by Uritish authorities to avoid action that might precipitate civil war. At least seven Protestant areas of Belfast were sealed off by militants of the Ulster Defense Association.

Armed with wooded batons, and policed by men wearing special arm bands, the militants checked the credentials of all persons attempting to enter or leave their enclaves.

A federation spokesman said Davis was seeking a compromise over the money snarl. But Ciutmunder Thorarisson, ICF president who talked i Fischer's representatives in the i States for much of Friday i said later a "nothing had been settled." By previous agreement, Fischer and Spassky are to divide the $125,000 purse, with (he winner getting five-eighths, and receiving 30 per cent of the sales of television and film rights. The Soviet news agency Tass blamed the a i condition on Fischer and said, "Wherever Fischer is, money ranks first, pushing aside all sporting motives." Tass accused the American challenger of disrespect to the championship organizers by not telling them (hat he might arrive just before the match begins.

three barricades Friday in Londonderry as a gesture, but most remained up today. Squads of Protestants in paramilitary i some masked or hooded, hijacked scores of (chicles for the barricading maneuver which started late Friday. There were unconfirmed reports of Catholics dragged froiti their cars and beaten. It was the most serious trouble since the Irish Republican Army laid down its arms for an indefinite truce Monday. The Protestants spurned British appeals for calm and dismissed as "too little and too late" a slight but significant gesture of reconciliation by the IRA.

The 1IIA Friday tore down three barricades in a complex of 40 defending their Bogsidc and Creggan stronghold of Londonderry, the "no-go" area which most infuriates Protestants. They regard it as a safe haven for terrorists and criminals. The Protestant barricades went up in Belfast, Bangor, Ballymena and Lisburn. In Bel- fast, police reported about 75 trucks, buses and cars commandeered for more than 20 roadblocks. Ulster defense units emerged in strict military formations behind uniformed banrts playing traditional Protestant rallying tunes.

British troops stood by and watched. This was in line with the army's "low profile" ordered by London and maintained in an effort to avoid sparking major trouble. Londonderry, Northern lie- land's second city, was quiet and no barriers were built. Residents in Protestant areas hoisted their flags and painted curb stones red, white and blue, The colors assert the Protestants' determination to stay British in the face of the IRA fight to force them under the rule of the overwhelmingly Catholic Irish Republic to the south.
