White Resigns. During a briefing before the written tests, LAPD staff members discussed the department's vision standards, physical ability tests, medical exams and background checks. "They talk to your neighbors, your spouse, your girlfriends," said Rhonda Sims-Lewis, the LAPD's recruitment director. "They want to know how you treat others." The applicants learned that the department uses a polygraph only when a controversial issue surfaces in the background check. A good credit rating is required.

But a criminal record, including juvenile offenses, does not automatically disqualify a police candidate. One man provoked laughter when he asked if the department planned to tell his neighbors about his application. "If people know you're becoming a police officer," he said, "it may cause problems." 'I don't think the LAPD is a racist organization. I'd say 95 of them are good officers. I think this recruitment drive is a step toward healing the HUGHSTON DALE part of the city," she said.

"I told them the 9th Council District had the highest level of unemployment in the city. I told them there were scads of people who might want to apply." Walters said she was "pleased to see the largej number of African -Americans, Latinos and Asians" among the applicants. MARSHA T.GORMAN L03 Angeles Times Gabriel Andrade, 30, of Monteci-to Heights reads LAPD pamphlet before taking the examination. Continued from Bl Navy, agreed. "It's not like it was the LAPD itself," Phelps said.

"It was four people employed by them." The department, which wants to hire up to 300 officers this year, conducts written tests each week at the Police Academy in Elysjan Park and at police stations in North Hollywood and the Mid-Wilshire area. But at the urging of Council-woman Rita Walters, the department recruited candidates and administered written tests Saturday at the New Hope Baptist Church in South Los Angeles. The meeting room quickly filled and some applicants were forced to wait outside during part of the program. "We're overflowing," said Theresa Adams Lopez, an LAPD spokeswoman. "We anticipated about 100 people.

We've got twice that many at least." Sgt. Ron Sullivan, who supervised the program, called the turnout "a pleasant surprise." But he added: "Since the King incident, anytime we have had recruiting events, we've done very well. We haven't seen any decline in the number of people applying for the department." Sullivan cautioned that the written test is only the first step in a lengthy screening process. On average, he said, about 3 of the people who take the written exam become police officers. Nevertheless, said Councilwom-an Walters, the department's testing in South Los Angeles was overdue.

"My concern was that the LAPD was not recruiting in this nssocmTfion AUCTIONEERS Since 1916 Midyear Edition Contest Winner Selected INTERNATIONAL NEWS Julio Granda Zuniga of Peru won the Reshevsky Memorial tournament, which ended last weekend in New York City. Granda won his first five games, then drew his last four to top the strongest round-robin international in this country in 20 years. Judit Polgar of Hungary was second with 6V5-2V4. Polgar, the world's highest-rated female, turned 16 during the tournament. Other scores: GM Joei Benjamin (New York) and GM Lev Psakhis (Israel), 5-4; IM llya Gurevich (Massachusetts), GM Roman Dzindzichashvili (New York), GM Zsuzsa Polgar (Hungary), and GM Patrick Wolff (Massachusetts), 44-414; GM Michael Rohde (New Jersey), 3W-554; and Eric Moskow, 0-9.

Moskow, who donated money to obtain a spot in the tournament, attained a master's rating as a junior in the 1970s and has begun a comeback after a long layoff from chess. The U.S. Chess Federation organized the tournament as part of the U.S. Chess Festival. Jezdimir Vasiljevic, owner of the Ju-goskandik Bank in Yugoslavia, has announced that he will sponsor a match between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spas-sky, beginning Sept.

2 in the resort of Sveti Stefan irn Yugoslavia. Fischer has not played publicly since he became world champion in 1972 by defeating Spassky in the "Match of the Century" in Reykjavik, Iceland. Vasiljevic says that Fischer approached him to organize the match and that Fischer was supervising the arrangements. The contract calls for a $5-million purse, with 58 to the player who wins 10 games. Reportedly, Fischer has already accepted $100,000 from Vasiljevic.

Since 1972, Fischer has discussed matches with many chess stars, including former world champions Spassky (now living in France) and Anatoly Kar-pov of Russia; and grandmasters Sveto-zar Gligorich of Yugoslavia, Victor Korchnoi of Switzerland, Henrique Mecking of Brazil, Miguel Quinteros of Argentina and Viswanathan Anand of India. Although the current negotiations appear to have progressed further than those of the past, one must remain skeptical of the 49-year old Fischer's return until he actually sits down to play. Previous matches have been canceled after Fischer repeatedly raised objections to the playing conditions. Fischer has claimed that he was robbed of the world championship title by the World Chess Federation (FIDE), that there was a plot against him during his retirement, and that the series of Gary Kasparov Anatoly Karpov world championship matches was fixed. He has demanded that all journalists be kept away from htm until the match, and he has persuaded Vasiljevic to sue a television station in Belgrade that broadcast film of Fischer.

Meanwhile, American diplomats in Bet-grade have sidestepped questions of whether the proposed match would violate the United Nations sanctions against Yugoslavia. LOCAL NEWS Bill Goichberg's Continental Chess Assn. made a successful return to Los Angeles last weekend at the Airport Hilton. The Los Angeles Open drew a surprisingly large turnout of 325 players, despite entry fees ranging up to $190, by far the highest ever in California. Goichberg expects to organize one or two more tournaments in Los Angeles in 1993.

Former U.S. champion Walter Browne dominated the 29-player Open section, scoring Browne won his first four games to take a half-point lead over the field, then agreed to a quick last-round draw to clinch first prize of $2,500. Tied for second at 4-1 were GM Semyon Pal-atnik of Ukraine and IM Jack Peters. Next at were GM Alexander Iva-nov, IM Georgi Orlov, and under-2400 prizewinners Bende Lagua and Hugo Vil-lanueva. Winners of other sections were: un-der-2200, Alfredo Base and Ray Solomon, 4Vi-W; under-2000, Anthony Val-dez, 5-0; under-1800, Nicholas Gordon and Arnold Paragas, 4V4-; under-1600, Walter Avelar and Tony Dunlap, 5-0; under-1400, John Rommelar, 5-0; and unrated, Mark Batchelder, 5-0.
