Judge Unit Opposes Prison Plan MADISON (AP) A poll at the National Council of Juvenile Court Judges convention showed members disagreeing 3-1 with the Wisconsin task force proposal that prisons be replaced by community-based treatment centers.

The poll, taken by Lt. Gov. Martin J. Schreiber at the meeting in Milwaukee last week found 22.8 per cent of the judges agreeing with the Task Force on Offender Rehabilitation view that prisons as they are known today have failed to do their job and should be replaced with a dif ferent system. But 71.6 per cent of the 129 juvenile court judges attending a speech Schreiber gave Monday disagreed with the task force recommendation.

The juvenile judges took even a stronger stand opposing the removal of criminal sanctions against marijuana, a move recommended by both the Wisconsin task force and President Nixon's Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse. The removal of such sanctions won the support of 16.2 per cent of the judges but the opposition of 75.1 per cent. The greatest support of a task force recommendation came on the suggestion that probation and related in-struments be used more frequently as an alternative to Imprisonment. That won the support of 73.1 per cent of the judges, while only 22.7 per cent disagreed. By BOB WOESSNER Press-Gazette Staff Writer GREEN BAY City officials announced today that Green Bay has been chosen to participate in an automotive endurance test conducted by the Bureau of Unusual Motoring Problems (BUMP).

"We, searched all over the nation for a city like Green Bay, and we are astounded to find just the conditions here that we need," said Delbert Piniongear of BUMP. "We are going to bring in a cross section of the new model cars this fall and drive them on Green Bay streets. We figure that 500 miles here is worth 5.000 on any test track in the nation." A spokesman for the city indicated pride in the selection of Green Bay for the test. "It is always nice to be noticed for your characteristics, ainna?" the spokesman said. "Our survey crews came to Green Bay and did all of their tests of road conditions chuck hole depth finding, railroad track bone jarring, ripple road transmission twist and the cracked pavement double bounce.

"The crew was amazed. You have everything on your streets that we could possibly build into an test track. Why, I don't think our l. engineers are clever enough to come up with some of the sections of roads you seem to have evolved naturally," Piniongear said. Officials from BUMP estimate that most of the new cars will survive as much as 750 miles of moderate speed driving on the city streets before having to be reconditioned.

I "There is only one problem. We will have to hire drivers locally for the tests. Representatives of our professional test drivers group looked over the roads and the traffic and advised the membership not to drive Russian Chess Fans Soured on Ficher (Fi -rJ. mm mmmmsm ft V-r fey BOB HERMES Ditlrid OtprtiwiloHvt 1596 North Road Phomi 494-1 Mo Green Bay WALLY IOM DJlrM XtprMOTfoKvt 121 South Oakland Phont; 43J-2593 GrMn Bay iiitiiiiiim i MODERN WOODMEN OF AMERICA One of the nation's leading jraternal life insurance organizations Home Office.

Illinois HOW TO GET TO WARDS So. on Oneida From the Arena West on Airport Drive From Hwy. 41 OUR 100TH ANNIVERSARY YEAR MOSCOW (AP) Moscow's park bench chess players used to call him "Bobby." Now it's "Fischer." They used to respect and even privately root for the American who wants the world chess crown. They don't anymore. "He's slightly touched in the head," muttered a chess enthusiast as his opponent dered the next move on a board balanced across a bench.

About six million Russians take chess seriously and there's a growing feeling among them that Fischer has become downright insulting. "This is chess, not baseball," said one chess fan. "Fischer's no sportsman." There was only praise for Boris Spassky, the Russian world champion who has Sunday 12 till 5 waited patiently in Reykjavik as Fischer caused delay after delay over his demands for more money, for better lighting and, at last report, for the removal of film cameras from the match site. It was Fischer's self-confidence, his individuality and his public claim to being the world's best chess player that captured the Russians' imagination. Perhaps bored with the knowledge that the world crown has remained in Russian hands for 24 years, the man on the street was not overly distraught when Fischer crushed Russia's Tigran Petrosian for the right to face Spassky.

The prospect of a major So-v i t-Ameriean confrontation over the chess board was exciting and appealing. But the admiration has turned to disgust. For the park bench players, Fischer is either "sumashedshy" crazy or scared. Either way, the average Russian privately agrees with i government-controlled newspapers. For months the Soviet press has criticized the American challenger as "a y-grubbing businessman," a chess player who carries around with him "a disgusting spirit of gain." "Fischer's nothing more than a capitalist," one bearded player complained.

"For him business comes before sports." The news media here haven't devoted much attention to the chess match, but the average Russian chess player knows Fischer is down two points and that Spassky hasn't even begun to fight. Confused at first, but willing to accept the American's desire for more money, most of the park players now attribute, Fischer's latest demands to fear of defeat at the hands of the world champion To the accompaniment of his comrades' nodding heads, a elderly Muscovite explained that "Fischer Is creating a big hullabaloo about nothing cause he thinks he's going to lose an artificial alibi in case he needs to justify a defeat." 1 V2 PRICE!
