II. I A-6 Thursday, July 13, 1972 Green Bay Press-Gazette Bombs Pour Upset Over Filming, Fischer May Quit Stand on War nscHCi Kil Stein said that at one point Fischer walked in on the meeting, listened for a few minutes and then in a few sentences indicated he was adamant about expelling the cameras. Then he went to bed. In agreement with Lombardy and Cramer, Stein wrote Fischer a letter at 5 o'clock this morning appealing to the challenger to accept the presence of the cameras and go on playing. "I hope the letter will move him." Stein said.

FEATURED IN THE MALL Thursday-Friday-Saturday PETE POLZAK DINING AT ITS FINEST A SELECT MENU DELIGHTFUL SERVICE 0n Hanoi, Haiphong SAIGON (AP) American fighter-bombers hit North Vietnam Wednesday with the heaviest raids in more than a week, setting fire to fuel depots and supply and port facilities In the Hanoi-Haiphong area, the U.S. Command announced today. The command reported more than 340 strikes were flown, equalling the number on July 5, and said the closest to Haiphong was within a mile of the city. It made no mention of any plane losses. "Navy pilots flying from the Kitty Hawk swept to within one mile of Haiphong where they reported three supply warehouses heavily damaged after a strike on the Haiphong vehicle repair facility south of that city," the 7th Fleet said in a communique.

In another big raid, Air Force F4 Phantoms using both laser-guided and general purpose bombs attacked a fuel depot 35 miles northeast of Hanoi. Pilots reported many direct hits, numerous secondary explosions and fires, and a pipeline cut. On the ground, the South Vietnamese push into Quang Tri Province remained stalled for the seventh successive day by tough North Vietnamese resistance that triggered a series of battles on three sides of the provincial capital. The Saigon command claimed more than 200 North Vietnamese troops were killed and 26 tanks destroyed and one captured in fighting Wednesday and today around the city. The command said South Vietnamese losses were 46 troops killed and 72 wounded.

A senior U.S. military source said that South Vietnamese paratroopers are in Quang Tri City in "substantial REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Bobby Fischer today was reported threatening to break off his world championship chess match with Boris Spassky unless all movie cameras are removed from the playing hall. "It's quite serious. He may not play at all," said a member of Fischer's entourage who asked not to be identified. Fischer was scheduled to meet the world champion from the Soviet Union at noon today for the second game of their 24-game match.

The American challenger lost the first game Wednesday night. Fischer staged a 30-mlnute walkout shortly after the play began Wednesday, complaining that a movie camera 150 feet away was making him nervous. The camera was hardly visible in the dimness outside the lighted players' circle, and it could not be heard by Fischer, but aides said the knowledge of its presence unnerved him. Chief referee Lothar Schmid of West Germany, who makes the decisions on all contested points in connection with the match, told Fischer during his walkout there was nothing he could do about the camera. Film and television rights for the match have been sold to an American promoter, and Fischer and Spassky are to get a share of the proceeds, estimated at a minimum of $27,500 each.

"It's up to Lothar Schmid whether Bobby plays," one of Fischer's advisers said today. With a maximum of 23 more games to be played, Robert Byrne, the second-ranking U.S. grandmaster, said Fischer's loss "isn't necessarily all that significant. Either of these players can come back and win." A victory yields one point, a draw half a point, and after Wednesday's match Spassky needed 11 more points in the 24-game series to retain his title. Fischer needs 12 points to sfissir Html Point of Resignation end the 24-year Soviet monopoly of the title.

He has played Spassky six times, been beaten by him four times and drawn twice. Today he would be playing the white pieces, giv-ing htm the first move and a slight advantage. Contacted at his hotel, Schmid said: "There will be a match tonight. If Fischer doesn't appear, he will take the consequences." A member of Fischer's camp said the "legal aspects are being studied." Richard Stein, a lawyer for the promoter who bought the TV and film rights, Chester Fox, said he was up all night with Fischer's second, the William Lombardy, and Fred Cramer of the U.S. Chess Federation.

Chou, Tho Hold 'Friendly' Talks TOKYO (AP) Premier Chou En-lal of China has had what was described as a "very cordial and friendly" conversation in Peking with Le Due Tho, special adviser to the North Vietnamese delegation to the Paris peace talks. A Radio Peking broadcast monitored Wednesday said Chang Chun-chiao, member of the Politburo on the Chinese Communist party Central Committee; Deputy Foreign Minister Han Nien-lung, and other party and government leaders took part in the meeting. Details of the talks were not given. FRIDAY SUNDAY Schmid said he was prepared to invoke two rules of the match against Fischer. Rule 17 prohibits In the name of "the highest principles of sportsmanship" that either player "distract or annoy his opponent." Rule 21 allows the taking of pictures during the match by official photographers as long as the cameras are "neither visible nor audible." The camera Fischer objected to was officially sanctioned.

George McGovem meant by a statement that he would leave a residual force in Thailand and at sea in Southeast Asia. The Wisconsin delegation and antiwar activists in Miami Beach expressed concern after the report began circulating among delegates. However, Gov. Patrick Lu-cey told reporters the flap had been settled and that it would not be necessary for caucus leaders to speak to McGovern about it. Earlier, McGovern left his penthouse suite at a hotel up the beach to tell antiwar demonstrators he stood by his pledge for total withdrawal of U.S.

troops from Indochina. "I'm not shifting my position on any of the fundamental stands I've taken," said McGovern, ringed by security agents as he faced the noisy, shoving demonstrators who had occupied the lobby of the Doral Hotel. The demonstrators had been blocking staircases and elevators for more than six hours when McGovern appeared surrounded by Secret Service agents. "I don't have any doubt that within 90 days of my inauguration every American troop and every American soldier will be home, and that's a pledge I make," McGovern said. Responding to questions shouted by the demonstrators, McGovern reaffirmed his support for amnesty for those who refused to fight in Vietnam and his opposition to legalizing marijuana.

Cheered when he arrived and often as he spoke, McGovern was booed loudly when he said he would not Officers Who Saved Life Suspended WISCONSIN DELLS, Wis. (AP) Police officers Dean Willard and William Jax are fighting their suspensions from the force, which were ordered after they helped transport a traffic accident victim to a Ba-raboo hospital. Dr. James Lewis of Baraboo has filed an affidavit with the Police and Fire Commission stating the pair "must be credited with helping save" the life of the woman he treated May 24 after she was struck by a car about four miles from Wisconsin Dells. She.

would have died if she had arrived "20 or 30 minutes later than the time she was actually brought into the emergency room," Lewis said. Police Chief Hans Mickelson suspended Willard and Jax without pay because he said they violated a department rule by leaving the city. The two officers are also charged with failure to complete a police report in a juvenile felony case, failure to carry out police processing on the two juveniles suspected of car theft and failure to notify the parents of the juveniles.

They're so Flap sign a proposal calling for life imprisonment for any police officer who murders a black, Mexican-American or other minority group person. McGovern also was hooted when he rejected a proposal backed by civil rights and welfare groups calling for a federally guaranteed $6,500 minimum income for a family of four. "I'm not going to sign it," he said.

"We didn't want a repetition of Chicago In 1968," McGovern said after facing the demonstrators. "It's better to hear people out than to drive people out. Nobody got hurt." The Wisconsin delegates were unaware at their caucus that McGovem had met with the demonstrators. Lucey explained that a residual force in Thailand with the fighting stopped in Vietnam is different from a residual force in Vietnam still fighting and would be a means of keeping pressure on to obtain the freedom of prisoners of war. Lucey said a governors' meeting with McGovern Wednesday had been impressed with the senator's conversations with North Vietnamese negotiators in Paris.

"It may just be that Hanoi's negotiators just don't believe what President Nixon says. We know he has a credibility problem in this country. Perhaps he does in Paris, too. I really think it is possible for Sen. McGovern to go to Paris and settle this thing before he takes his oath of office," said Lucey.

At a confused and hurried caucus before leaving for the convention, the Wisconsin delegation said it had an ex-p 1 a a i coming from McGovern about his latest words on the Vietnam War because McGovem got his big push toward the nomination in the Wisconsin primary. The delegates were troubled by newspaper stories which quoted McGovem as telling a group of wives of American prisoners of war that, while he would order an immediate pullout from Vietnam, he would leave standby forces in Thailand and at sea until all prisoners were released. Half a dozen delegates voiced concern that this represented a retreat from McGovern's peace position. This was what brought me to McGovern, and I will not retreat from my position," said Mrs. Rose Marie Dercks of Appleton.

The caucus beat down several attempts to table the subject but also shouted down varying resolutions asking McGovem to clarify his statement. Finally, the caucus agreed that Frank Nikolay of Abbotsford, caucus chairman, and Michael Bleicher of Madi-son should contact the McGovern headquarters for an explanation of the statement before the Wisconsin delegation answered the nomination roll call Wednesday night.
