Boyle has been closing In on him during the past couple iti of years, and now he has received a five-year prison sentence for Illegal use of union funds. Though he continues to serve as -head of the Mine Workers, the trial outcome appears to strengthen possibility that he will lose out In the coming union election. There Is a chance that Boyle will even be barred from running re-election, or Indeed from holding any union office in the future.

This depends on the fate of the government's claim, disputed by the union, that under federal labor laws Boyle's viction makes him ineligible for office. Whatever happens, Boyle has been exposed as another union official who, in the Hoffa tradition, abused his powers and be- the trust reposed In him by the rank and file. Whether will sufficiently arouse that rank and file to reject Boyle and supporters in the election to be held in December on order the Department of Labor, we shall see. Must Appear Soon: Time RunningOut For Chess Champ By IAN WESTERGREN REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) Fischer's time runs out at 8 a.m. EDT Tuesday.

Fischer, the 29 year old Brooklyn chess genius, must turn up in Reykjavik by then or lose the right to challenge Soviet titleholder Boris Spassky for the world championship, a match that has generated wider interest than any chess game in history. Fischer, apparently bargaining for more money, was hiding out in New York while the great debate of "will he show up won't he?" raged. The 24-game series was to have started Sunday. But when Fischer didn't show the president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), Dr. Max Euwe, announced that he was postponing the deadline until noon Tuesday (8 a.m.

EDT). If Fischer does not appear for the drawing of lots scheduled for that time, he will be disqualified and lose his right to challenge the 35-year-old Russian for the world chess title. An Icelandic friend of Fischer, Freystrinn Thorberberg- sson, flew to New York Sunday to try to persuade the "American grand master to return with him. He said he was acting as "a friend of Bobby Fischer" and said only know where to find him." He By COLIN BAKER BELFAST (UPI)-A weekend of Protestant-Roman Catholic gun battles and gangland-style executions that claimed six lives pushed Northern Ireland's week-old cease-fire to the brink of collapse today. The latest deaths raised the known fatality toll since violence erupted in Northern Ireland three years ago to 399.

In the sixth known killing of the weekend, the bullet-riddled and hooded body of a man was found In a car abruptly abandoned near Belfast's Crum. lin Road jail parly today. Security officials said the victim might be Augustus "Gusty" Spence, a 39-year-old Protestant who was serving a life sentence for murdering a Catholic bartender. Gunmen had kidnaped Spence a few hours earlier as he was returning to the Jail from a two-day parole granted so he could attend his daughter's against wedding. failure Both the FRA and the British army emphasized they considered the cease-fire still in Protestants, Catholics and British troops.

They were identified as truckdrlver Hugh Clawson and busdrlver David Fisher, both 30. Like an unidentified body of a man dumped from a car soon afterward in the Forth River area of west Belfast, they had been shot through the head, the hallmark of extremist executions. TVo more victims of the first weekend since the Irish Republican Army (IRA) declared a cease-fire last Monday were Daniel Hayes, 43, a Catholic, and Paul Jobllng, a 19-year-old Jehovah's Witness from gland who had been doing voluntary work at a Belfast camp for poor children. The wave of killings occurred as the Protestant paramilitary Ulster Defense Association (UDA) created the first barricade Protestant "no go" areas in Northern Ireland in protest the British army's to wipe out IRA. controlled Catholic "no-go" areas in Londonderry.

Most of the hundreds of PPEANUTS' Low-Rise JEANS ZIFF'S II Tyrone Shopping Center refused to answer other questions. Fischer, who has kept the Icelandic organizers nervously rushing to Keflavik international airport to meet every flight from New York for a week, simply did not show up Sunday. Officially there was no explanation. He has not been in touch with the Icelandic Chess Federation or FIDE since he sent a cable through the U.S. Chess Federation some time back saying he would show up for the match "under protest." Four times since then, Fischer has canceled bookings on flights to Iceland.

The Icelandic federation, which stands to much money if the match does not come off, pleaded for Fischer Sunday and convinced Euwe to postpone the start of the match 48 hours to give Fischer a last chance. I am not very hopeful," said Euwe, the last non-Russian to hold the world title from 1935 to 1937. He is Dutch. The decision came after several rounds of closed negotiations involving Spassky, Euwe, the Icelandic organizers and Americans representing Fischer but not authorized by him to negotiate. Spassky appeared undisturbed by the crisis surrounding his first defense of the title he won in 1969 from fellow countryman Tigran Petrosian.

John Leaves GOP Post: MarthaSays She's Political Prisoner By HELEN THOMAS WASHINGTON (UPI) Martha Mitchell rejoices that her husband has gotten out of full-time politics, but she still says she is a "political prisoner." Mrs. Mitchell made another call to this reporter Sunday and gave her reaction to the announcement of her husband, John N.

Mitchell, Saturday that he was leaving his job as chairman of the committee to re-elect President Nixon. "Sure, that's what I wanted," she said when asked how she viewed the resignation. But she spoke in a low voice, did not talk long, and hung up the telephone abruptly. "I'm still a political prisoner," she said. "I can't talk long.

I am calling surreptitiously." She said she was at the Watergate Apartments, where the Mitchells maintain their Washington home. She wondered during the course of the conversation why no one had asked a question about her at Nixon's news conference Thursday. Mitchell, the former attorney general, said when he announced his resignation that he hoped to spend more time with his wife and their daughter.

Mrs. Mitchell made public her unhappiness with her husband's political role in a telephone call to UPI on June 22 from Newport Beach, Calif. She said she had given Mitchell an "ultimatum" to get out of politics or she would leave him. During the conversation, she said "you Just get away," and the call was abruptly broken off. On June 25, Mrs.

Mitchell called UPI again, this time from the Westchester Country Club at Rye. She said she was leaving Mitchell "until he decides to leave" Nixon's reelection campaign. She complained about a security agent, who she said yanked the telephone out of the wall in California. She described herself as a "political prisoner." A colorful native of Arkansas, Mrs. Mitchell, 53, rapidly became a public figure when her husband joined Nixon's cabinet in 1969.

She spoke out on many issues, and the telephone became her trademark. She was just another cabinet wife one day early in 1969 when she looked out the window of her Watergate apartment and saw antiwar demonstrators. In a television interview, she said the demonstrators looked like "Russian revolutionaries," and she quoted her husband to back up her views. A little later she made a 2 a.m. telephone call to the Arkansas Gazette to blast Sen.

J. William Fulbright, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. She became a Republican party star and a frequent performer at the party's fundraising dinners. Prinking Of 21 For Now HARRISBURG (UPI) The drinking age tn Pennsylvania will stay at 21 until at least 1973. The House Saturday rejected a bill to lower the legal age for baying liquor to 18.

Since the bill had already been defeated once before, It cannot come up again In this legislative session. The vote was According to the bill, 18, 19 and 20.year.olds could have purchased liquor and worked in hotels, restaurants and clubs, which served liquor. Supporters of the bill said It should be passed as a logical follow-up to a series of so-called 18-year-old" bills which were signed Into law last month. The new laws require the younger citizens to pay taxes and serve on juries. They also can vote, marry, sign contracts, and hold certain previously restricted jobs such as policeman and fireman.

Opponents of the bill cited traffic statistics from Michigan showing that traffic deaths among youths increased significantly during the first four months after the drinking age was reduced from 21 to 18. Rep. Percy Poor, R.Bedford, said the death rate just for persons 18 jumped 60 per cent. "It is not the young people 18 or 19 who are clamoring for this bill," Foor said, "It's the liquor industry." "I don't like the Idea of making half cltltens," Rep. Jack Arthurs, D.Butler, said, "but there's more to It than that.

Once we put liquor with the amount of accidents caused by alcohol and put this together with young people, it will become ridiculous the amount of accidents we will have. Rep. Max Pievsky, D-Phlladel- phla, said the legislature had given 18-year-olds the rights to vote, marry, and enter into contracts. He said a man 18 could own a tavern or beer distributorship but could not drink. "The kids will think we're nuts," he said.

But Arthurs replied: "I don't think anybody tending bar should drink anyway." Rep. James Kelly, R-Allegheny, said Pennsylvania's high drinking age encourages young people "to go across the border to other to tank and I don't mean with gas." Two members who have teenaged children said they would vote for bill to show support for their childrens' maturity. "I have an 18-year-old son," Rep. Galen Dreibelbls, D-Centre, said. "It's going to be pretty tough to explain that you can vote but indeed you have to wait for two more years of maturity to decide If you want a bottle of beer." "Young people tell me that it is easier to get pot and LSD than it is to get alcohol," said Rep.

George Johnson, R.Dela- ware. "I would rather see my son buy a quart of beer than try LSD." Showers, Cooler Coming To State By United Press International A slow-moving frontal system from Canada will push through the state today and tonight, touching off numerous shower activity and bringing slightly cooler air for the Fourth of July. The threat of showers on the holiday will linger in some sections. High temperatures today will be in the 70s to mid 80s. Lows tonight will be in the 50s to mid 60s with highs Tuesday in the 70s.

RENT THROUGH THE CLASSIFIEDS! At 49, she's worried about getting pregnant By Abigail Van Buren ifn to CMaw TrtktM-N. Y. Mm DEAR ABBY: I am a married woman, age 49, but physically I am like a girl of 20. My doctor tells me that I have absolutely nothing to worry about insofar as getting pregnant is concerned. He says the oldest woman he has known to get pregnant was 47, and that was very unusual.

Abby, I'm afraid to let my guard down because my family is grown and the last thing I want at this time of my life is another baby. What do you or your readers know about this? The medical books tell me nothing. My doctor thinks I am foolish for worrying. WORRIED SPITLESS DEAR WORRIED: Altho the chances of becoming pregnant at age 47 are greatly reduced, it is by no means Impossible. My doctor tells me that he has heard of a woman bearing a child at age 52, so keep your guard up, lady.

DEAR ABBY: Something in your column caused me to recall something I hadn't thought of in years. Perhaps it's worth sharing: Many years ago, when potato chips were first on the market, they weren't available in our small town, so my mother would order them from the big city near us for special occasions. She had ordered some for her bridge luncheon, but 'they did not arrive on time, so as a joke mother sliced raw potatoes, and put a few on each plate. When the plates came back to the kitchen, there wasn't a potato slice to be seen! But for weeks afterwards we kept finding them in flowerpots, vases and under the sofa cushions. JEAN P.

IN MONTANA DEAR JEAN: There's nothing new under the sun. People are still doing it. DEAR ABBY: I am going with a wonderful guy, and we are talking about getting married, but a problem has come up. He says that before we get married he would like to go out with some other girls just to see what it's like. He says it's not that he doesn't love me, but he would just like to have a little variety before he settles down.

I suppose I should be glad that my guy is so honest with me about this, but I am by nature a jealous person, and I don't want to even think about my guy being with another girl. What do you think? UNCERTAIN DEAR UNCERTAIN: A man sufficiently mature for marriage would neither announce his intentions to go out with other girls, nor ask for his fiancee's permission. His idea could be good, but discussing it with you is adolescent. CONFIDENTIAL to Square-Shooter in Kenosha. I agree, it's noble to go by "the old rule." Never hit a man when he's down.

Clearfltld Coal Company Must Bargain WASHINGTON a decision, the National bor Relations Board (NLRB) overruled one of its trial examiners today and ordered a Pennsylvania coal company to reopen negotiations with the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA).

The majority ruling upheld a complaint by UMW District 2 that the Manor Mining and Contracting Corp. of Clearfield County, refused to bargain in good faith and fully comply with the terms of an industry- wide National Bituminous Coal Wage Agreement after it won a collective bargaining election in August, 1969. Although the union eventually accepted a $2-a-day wage increase and ether benefits in an agreement signed on Nov. 27, 1970, the majority found Manor Mining violated labor laws by extending "little more than trial balloons which (it) could seemingly shoot down or reject at will" during extended negotiations. In addition to its order that the company must negotiate with the UMW, the NLRB told Manor Mining to reinstate any dismissed employes who struck the firm during initial negotiations and to appoint a negotiator with "sufficient bargaining authority." In a dissent that upheld Trial Examiner Thomas A.

Ricci, NLRB chairman Edward B. Miller found that "throughout the negotiations, the union engaged in a course of take-it-or- leave-it As for the company union agreement, Miller said that' "union negotiators had no authority to agree to terms less than those called for in the national agreement." Use the Classifieds I BARNSLEY, England (UPl) Sylvia Sheridan, 36, almost had reason to regret the holiday suntan she acquired at the Romanian Black Sea resort of Constanza.

HARRISBURG (UPI) Federal fact-finders headed into Harrisburg and Wilkes Barre today to more precisely determine the immediate needs of the two Pennsylvania cities hit hardest by Tropical Storm Agnes. "The purpose of the trip is to determine the best way for the federal government to help the state recover from the flood on a long-term basis," said a spokesman for the group, which included two members of President Nixon's cabinet. The Office of Emergency Preparedness (OEP) said the federal officials would not meet with Gov. Milton J.

Shapp or any other state government officials. Shapp earlier had crit- icised the federal government for responding to flood needs with "double talk and zero action." Heading up the federal fact- finding mission were Labor Secretary James D. Hodgson, Commerce Secretary Peter G. Peterson, OEP director Gen. George Lincoln and Robert A.

Podests, assistant Commerce secretary for economic development. Lt. Gov. Ernest P. Kline toured the Wilkes-Barre, Forty Fort and Plymouth disaster areas Sunday.

Afterwards, Kline told Pennsylvania National Guard commanders to ask their active U.S. Army advisers to recommend that time spent by some guard units in the flood-stricken areas be applied to the iods they would have spent on summer training. Kline also promised to throw his support behind a pending Pennsylvania bill that would raise the minimum state active duty pay for guardsmen from $10 to $25 a day. In a related development, the Rheingold Brewery shipped 100,000 cans of drinking water today from its Orange, N.J., plant to the Wilkes-Barre Airport for distribution to flood refugees. A similar shipment was sent by the brewery last week.
