The extensive coverage would start Sunday, July 2 and run from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., nationally.

It would continue three times a week throughout the match, with shorter broadcasts Tuesday and Thursday for cities on the Eastern seaboard. Richard Gitter, lawyer for Channel 13 WNDT. said Fox and the federation threatened to go to court, if these McMahon saying the tests could not be cancelled. It is believed that the 1972 test series will include three or four explosions and that the program will be finished by early July. Some sources say that the experiments are testing the miniature atomic bomb that will trigger France's hydrogen warhead and also checking on the hardness of the metals used and the most effective way of disposing of the nuclear material.

All of the explosions are expected to be of low power, short of one megaton. France had held 28 previous nuclear or thermonuclear Pacific tests since 1966 at the Pacific testing ground. The usual procedure has been to suspend the nuclear devices from a big yellow balloon, held in place by ropes at an altitude of 1,500 to 2,000 feet. The French claim that this prevents the fireball from reaching down to the sea or reefs, and that the radioactive cloud is rapidly dissipated in the upper atmosphere, reducing fallout to a minimum. NEW YORK (AP) Promotional aspects of the Fis-cher-Spassky world championship chess match are becoming as important as they are in any big league sport.

Chess matches are not usually world happenings. But with the keen interest sparked by American Bobby Fischer challenging Russian Boris for the world title, it's a different situation. The Icelandic Chess Federation has put up close to $200,000 for the 24-game match, to be held for two months in Reykjavik, Iceland, starting July 2. The games will be played in Reykjavik Sportshall, which seats about 3,000 people. The match will be open to the public, and tickets will cost S5 a game or $75 for the 24 scheduled games.

Of the $200,000 put up, some $125,000 will be paid in prizes to the players, according to the federation. Fischer, 29, and Spassky, 35, will also divide 60 per cent of the income from films and television. The federation has signed a 99-year contract with Chester Fox and Inc. for exclusive worldwide visual rights, including rights to film the match and still photos of the match taken inside the Sportshall. Fox and the federation will split the profits equally.

The price Fox paid for the rights is undisclosed. But he did say he would have to spend some $200,000 for the color filming. "I guess it's a coup, but it's quite an undertaking," Fox said in New York. He has asked for bids from interested television stations in countries throughout the world. He is concerned with the highest bidders in each country, and if a contract is signed, he will send them film clips as the match progresses.

"We'll be negotiating straight through Sunday and beyond. It's been very hectic. There's a lot of interest in it, more so in the rest of the world than in the U.S.." said Fox, who adds that the only two countries which have sent cables saying they would not bid are Kuwait and Jordan. "We've spoken with Tass, briefly There hasn't been that much interest from the Russians," says Fox, adding that he will not name countries negotiating, or those which have signed contracts, until negotiations are finalized. In the United States, ABC has contracted for exclusive film rights.

The Fox film segments will be shown Saturdays on the ABC program, "Wide World of Sports." Fox declined to say how much ABC paid for the rights. He did comment that he has not suggested bid prices for those interested. "I find the news media have their own way of evaluating this. They're immensely fair," said Fox, adding he has used a sliding scale, depending on the country. However, in the United States, Channel 13 WNDT, New York, and Teleprompter Cable T.V.

have planned programs discussing the action at the match, without the use of the Fox film. Channel 13 plans a move-by- Any reproduction would appear to infringe on those rights to the detriment of the Federation and Mr. Fox. James Halperin, lawyer for the Icelandic Chess Federation, denied a report they were served an injunction. 'Our law office hasn't served anyone with a restraining order, he said, adding he would not comment on future plans.

Roone Arledge, president of ABC Sports, has no objections to the proposed plans for outside program on the match. "I think that would be excellent programming and a good thing for them to going to do it in a condensed, limited way. As long as we can do what we want to do. we'd be delighted to cooperate," said Arledge. "If they do a move-by-move thing, I'll be watching," he said.

He told them that plans were being continued and that he was authorized by Tele-prompter to similiarly inform Fox, he said. "There's something outrageous about the Chess Federation and Fox trying to limit coverage." said Gitter. "It could have been any kind of major news event." "I think the people who'll be watching us will not be the same people who're watching Wide World of Sports.

I don't think we're competitive," said Frank Leicht, vice president and director of programming and administration at Channel 13 WNDT. "We have stated that we are in favor of absolute, the total dissemination of the news. However where a device is used to recreate or simulate private property, well, that is not the use of news but an abuse," said Richard C. Stein, lawyer for Fox. He further added, "Mr.

Fox has exclusive film rights PARIS (AP) The French nuclear test series probably started on Sunday with an explosion at Mururoa Atoll, in the South Pacific, the French news agency said today in a dispatch from Papeete. The report said the test headquarters refused to confirm that a nuclear device had been detonated, but informa-t i received in Papeete seemed to indicate clearly that the first test was held. The Defense Ministry in Paris refused to make any comment, in line with its previous announcement that it would give no information on the tests. The news agency said the first test was believed to have been exploded Sunday morning at Mururoa. Australia, New Zealand, Japan and several South American nations have protested the French tests in the South Pacific.

But the French government insisted they would not harm persons living in the Southern Hemisphere, and President Georges Pompidou sent a letter to Australian Prime Minister William Drug for Moves to WASHINGTON (AP) Researchers are ready to move from monkeys to men in testing whether the chemical agent AMT will work in combatting drug addiction. Rep. Paul G. Rogers, chairman of the House public health subcommittee, hailed work done so far as "very exciting." His subcommittee received a briefing Tuesday on studies involving AMT (alphamethyltryrosine) at the Mayo Clinic at Rochester, Minn. "We want to see that all federal resources are made available to developing this as fast as possible," Rogers said.

Dr. Frederick W. L. Kerr, describing studies he and Dr. Jose Pozuelo have made in the past two years, said he is "cautiously optimistic" about prospects for the nonaddicting and long-lasting agent AMT.

A spokesman for the Department of Health, Education and Welfare said the National Institute of Mental Health has provided federal backing for the project. Kerr said this three-year grant of $51,000 supports part of the program. "Striking effects were obtained with A.MT. The efft cts of withdrawal were abolished and the addicted animals made no effort to obtain morphine when it was readily available to them," Kerr said.

The chess master was in Reykjavik, Iceland, Tuesday, awaiting the start of the 24-game match for the title which opens Sunday. Addiction Humans There is no evidence that AMT is addictive, he said. He added that, while there have been some side effects, there can be compensations. Kerr said it is feasible to begin human studies, "and it should be done." Dr. Richard Steinhilber, chairman of the clinic's psychiatry department, told the subcommittee that space would be made available "in one of our units, with a series of beds" for research on addicted people.

Kerr said the work was undertaken on the theory that drug addiction may be compared to a craving for food. The finding that AMT "produces such pronounced suppressive effects in the monkey indicates that a potent agent for treatment of human narcotic addiction may be available, and the requisite steps are being taken at this time to evaluate its potential applicability in men," Kerr said. The Rogers subcommittee has been pressing for research into new ways of fighting drug addiction. Rogers called AMT "the latest, most encouraging development, and we want to make sure all the resources of the federal government are available to quickly prove out developments from animal studies." years. He said the Chinle, and Tuba City, portions of the reservation and Ship Rock, N.M., are being considered as possible sites.

The idea of the medical school was approved by the Navajo Tribal Council recently. By July, MacDonald said, "we will get the first preliminary costs of the school, its location, phases of the project that will be possible and possible sources of funding." The proposal will submitted to the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Navajos Planning Own Med College More Aid For Flood Areas Bill Galbraith, director the local Red Cross, savs of his chapter's emergency quota for the victims ol recent floods around the country has been increased from $4,500 to $9 222. Galbraith said the increase is due to the recent extensive flooding in eight states along the F.ast Coast where currently about 112.000 people are being housed in 330 Red Cross shelters. Few of the victims were covered by flood insurance and Red Cross officials have said the donations will be used for immediate and long-term aid to the victims.

Galbraith was notified of the increased campaign quota by the national Red Cross organization, which is notifying all its chapters that more money is needed to sustain the additional flood victims. Following the Rapid City, S.D. flood disaster, the local Red Cross was asked to raise $4,500 as its share of relief operations there. However, the recent extensive flooding on the East Coast necessitated that quota being increased, Galbraith said. noted that Red Cross staff and volunteers are also administering to flood victims in Alaska, and Arizona and in Michigan, where an estimated l.fiOO families were flooded out by the Rouge River.

Galbriath said that currently only $644 has leen raised in the Red Cross-Lakeland Chapter area which covers Brown, Shawano, Menominee and Oconto counties. Donations can be marked for flood relief and sent to the Red Cross office at 123 S. Van Buren Green Bav. Legislation to increase benefits even further is pending in Congress. Over-all, the nation's relief rolls increased by 97,000 in February.

The largest increase was 114,000 in Aid For Families with Dependent Children. Disabled persons on welfare increased 11,000. Decreases other areas accounted for the discrepancy in figures.

3 Q.3QB STORE COUPON WINDOW KOCK, Ariz. (AF) Saying the white man doesn't understand their problems, Navajo tribal leaders are planning to build their own medical college, complete with medicine men and Indian healers, on this isolated reservation in northeastern Ari- Tribal Chairman Peter Mac-Donald said Navajo medicine men and tribal herbalists would be used to treat and teach about mental and physical illnesses in their own ways. "Navajos do not go to psychiatrists for emotional or psychological illnesses," Mac-Donald said. "They have medicine men for that. "Through chants and ceremonies, they are relieved of these tensions," he added.

"This way is much better than the couch treatment." While Public Health Service physicians scoffed at such Indian customs in past years, that situation has changed somewhat, MacDonald said. "They thought the work of a medicine man was unsanitary and useless," he said. "They were separating the patient from the medicine man. "Sometimes the patient simply left the hospital, saying 'If I can't be allowed to use my medicine man, I'm just going to go-' Now, MacDonald said, doctors in clinics on the reservation have begun allowing patients "one to four days leave so they can have a saying at the ceremonies they believe will help their ailment." MacDonald said he believes construction on the medical school, with the help of federal funds, could begin within two Beecher-Nathan Bridge Opened MARINETTE (PG) The Beecher-Nathan bridge spanning the Menominee River was officially dedicated Tuesday.

WASHINGTON (AP) The nation's Welfare rolls earlier this year contained fewer elderly persons than at anytime since 1940, while most other welfare categories continue to increase. The department of Health, Education and Welfare said tfie number of elderly receiving Old Age Assistance (OAA) in February was 2,015,000, down 4,000 from January and nearly 800,000 from the record number of 2,810,000 in September of 1950. It was the lowest figure in 32 years. The February figures were the latest available. The decline in OAA cases comes despite a rapidly rising over-65 population.

Government spokesmen indicated a major factor in the improved financial position of the elderly was an increase of 26.5 per cent in Social Security benefits the last two years. The cost of living increased 9.7 per cent in the same period. Social Security increases of 15 per cent in January 1970 and 10 per cent in January 1971 increased monthly benefits from $100 to $129 for the average, single retired worker and from $170 to $223 for the average couple over 65..
