Truman has entered Research Medical Center for routine examinations for what his personal doctor said was a "lower gastrointestinal problem." The condition of the 'Hft-ycar- old Truman, who was taken to the hospital last week after falling in his home, was termed satisfactory by his physician. Dr. Wallace H.

Graham. Dr. Graham said the former president's intestinal ailment is related to one which put Truman in the hospital more than a week early in 1971. Truman fell at his home last Tuesday. He spent an hour at the hospital having X-rays taken of his back after com- plainng of soreness.

Hospital spokesmen said tile X-rays were negative. A preliminary report indicates that the death of a 39- year-old Gastonia woman found Saturday night in a rooming house on West Page was not violent.

District Court. A countersuit Hied by Bibb against the Greensboro. N.C., textile firm also has been dismissed. The two companies filed a settlement agreement with Judge Charles A. Moye Jr.

Friday. Burlington had contended that Bibb intended to use Burlington's secret processes in the manufacture of foam-backed draperies. Burlington sought to have Bibb enjoined from manufacturing such draperies for three years. However, the settlement stated that Burlington personnel inspected the Bibb plant and determined that the confidential processes were not being used. As part of the settlement, Bibb agreed that it would not attempt to hire any salaried person from any Burlington division for a two-year period beginning last Feb.

U.S. troop power dips in Vietnam SAIGON (API American troop strength in Vietnam dropped to 43,000 men last week, a decrease of 6,000 men that brought the total 1,000 below President Nixon's uly 1 target. This total in the country does not include some 100,000 U.S. Navy.

Marine and Air Force personnel based in Thailand or on ships off the Vietnamese coast. Peak U.S. strength in Vietnam was nearly 550.000 in mid- 19119. The latest breakdown by services: Army 31.200, Navy 2,200. Marines 1.400, Air Force 13,100 and Coast Guard 100.

periled REYKJAVIK, Iceland (API The world chess championship was threatened with collapse today 24 hours before Bobby Fischer's deadline to show up or forfeil his match with Boris Spassky of Russia. Fischer, the American chess champion, was reported sticking to his demand for more money. He told the New York Daily News he wouldn't yield. The six-man board of the sponsoring Icelandic Chess Fecleralion was reported unanimously opposed lo paying Fischer the extra money. One board member called Fischer's gambit "a blatant attempt at extortion." The board met until the early hours today with Fischer's lawyer, Andrew Davis.

A spokesman said there was no progress. As the deadline approached, the board was in session again lo decide whether to pursue negotiations with Davis, a man they say has no written credentials from Fischer. Some chess experts who have gathered here from distant parts of the world for what promised to be the match of the century expressed a belief that Fischer, in the end. would sabotage the championship. Among the more optimistic was Larry Evans, a former American champion who knows Fischer, well.

He said. "I'd say there was a 50-50 chance he will come." Gaston County and North Carolina delegates didn't like it, but the National Education Association Convention has approved a controversial new constitution that now has lo be approved by members of the national organization. The week-long annual convention in Atlantic Cily went on until midnight last Friday. Wilma Craig today summed up the convention as "an endurance contest" which left most North Carolina educators unhappy. She is the incoming president of the Gaston County unit of the North Carolina Association of Educators, and one of eight local delegates lo Atlantic Cily.

Mrs. Craig said. "1 don't know if the constitution will pass when it goes to all the members for a vote in November, but many feel il will be defeated. It's not good to have that much power in the hands of so few people." She was referring to the reduction in the present NEA board of directors from over a hundred members to only 27 regional representatives. "It was Friday before final vote come io approve the constitution and the biggest.

light came over the board of directors. We wanted the size increased lo at least one representative for each state. Xorth Carolina's vote for 50 members was 147 lo 17, but still lost," Mrs. Craig said. Two Democratic presidential contenders made it to the NEA convention.

Terry Simford and George McGovcrn. but Hubert Humphrey and Edmund Muskie conccled 'at the last minute. "We had a snepcial welcome for Sanford with posters and song. I'd say the convention listened to him with interest. He stressed the emphasis he'd placed on education when he was governor of North Carolina, raising taxes," Mrs.

Craig said. She said thai McGovcrn "really calculated to impress the convention." She personally thought from comments heard afterward that Ihc senator's promise that one-third of school funds should come from the federal government was taken with considerable skepticism. George Stowe. who was also a Gaston County delegate, was just as cxhausated and impressed as Mrs. Craig after the Atlantic City meeting of some 7,000 members.

"It will be August before what was done is down in black and white and we can digest it all," he said. Local and state organizations, as he understands it, will still be allowed to decide whether administrators can belong to their groups, as is the case in N'orth Carolina. This has been one of the big arguments over the proposed constitution. ANGEL DORIS She's gone to heaven where she belongs, now she lives in God's great home.
