Residents of six states- New York, Pennsylvania, Mary land, Virginia, West Virginia and Florida--would be eligible for the disaster relief, if passed by Congress.

(Shultz says increased imports beef and veal should bring about a leveling of meat prices in August. Shultz said it was "very heartening" that, foreign produc- ers which supply about 75 per cent of American meat imports estimated they could increase shipments over the next 5V4 months. Representatives of 12 meat exporting nations met Wednes- day with Shultz, Acting Secreta- ry of State John N. Irwin II and other administration offi- cials. In return for increasing exports to the United States, the nations would get preferen- tial treatment when quotas are set for 1973.

"This government when it considers 1973 quotas will loosen the quotas for those who help us in 1972," State Department spokesman Charles W. Bray III said. Shultz said 'that Australia, for instance, agreed to increase its shipments from 5,200 tons of meat a week to 8,000 or 10,000 tons. Besides Australia, other na- tions represented were New Zealand, Mexico, Ireland, Gua- temala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua. Costa Rica.

But he said reduced prices on these products may ease consumer demand for better cuts and bring those prices down too.

Presidential spokesman Ro nald Ziegler said it was "onl; coincidental" that the meeting was held the day before th Vietnam talks resume. But he did confirm tha Vietnam was among th subjects discussed in Nixon' hour-and-a-half session with Analoly Dobrynin and the White House took the unusual step inviting photographers in record the event. This focus on the warm relations between the Unitec States and Hanoi's chief milita ry supplier appeared to be ar effort to add some pressure on the North Vietnamese delega tion to lake a more flexibl stand in the negotiations. Ziegler said Ambassador anc Mrs. Dobrynin had come wes inspect a recently opened Soviet consulate in San Francis co and had been invited to visi the Western White House by adviser Henry A Kissinger.

He said the talks involved general review of U.S.-U.S.S.R relations" following Nixon's Moscow summit in May anc Vietnam had come up "in the course of overall discussion of world affairs." He said the ambassador's visit was not for he purpose of "talking abou any one thing." Kissinger met Dobrynin in Los Angeles and gave him a aste of the Hollywood life by icsting a party in his honor a Beverly Hills restaurant anc eading him on a tour of movie and television studios, including a wisecracking encounter with a comedy writers conference. The President and Mrs gave the ambassador anc his wife a personal tour of the rounds of their residence before the talks began.

Chess Match Threatened Fischer Protests TV Cameras REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UP1) Fischer, already one game down in his drive for the world chess championship, to- day threatened to walk out on the second match with titlehold- er Boris Spassky unless all television cameras are removed from the hall. Fischer's demands were pre- sented by Fred Cramer, a vice president of the U.S. Chess Federation, at a closed meeting with representatives of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), the Icelandic organiz- ers and representatives of U.S. companies owning the television rights to the match, internation- al chess sources said. The referee of the match, Germany's Lolhar Schmid, said Fischer will Jose the second game by default if he does not turn up the scheduled 5 p.m.

Although he went into the much-postponed first game a heavy favorite, Fischer made what appeared to be a beginner's error and went down to defeat at the hands Of the 35- year-old Soviet world champion. The moment of truth was painful.

Fischer rose from the massive mahogany chess table, made a helpless gesture and resigned at the 56th move. Before stomping out of the hall, he reached over to shake Spassky's hand. Fischer obviously was upset but Cramer, who is a member of the American's camp, said "he is a pro and this is part of the game. I believe he has got enough to come back in the match. After all, there are possible games left." Capital Entry Is Choseii As 1972 Miss Tall MT.
