WANTS MORE MONEY Fischer still drags feet on chess match REYKJAVIK, Iceland UP) Progress was reported last night in 11th-hour negotiations over Bobby Fischer's demand for more money. The talks will be futile, however, if he doesn't show up for his world chess championship with Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union. Officials of the sponsoring Icelandic Chess Federation met with Andrew Davis, Fischer's lawyer and confidant, but said there still is no guarantee that the 29-year-old American will show up.

The 24-game match is scheduled to start tomorrow. Meanwhile, in New York, Fischer missed another flight to Reykjavik, yesterday. He booked a reservation and checked his baggage, but didn't board. This apparently leaves only one flight late tonight which could bring him in time for the start of the match. Fischer's faith, the Church of God, observes Saturday as the Sabbath and Fischer will not fly between sundown Friday and sundown Saturday.

'right' to look at bankbooks SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (UPI) Bank accounts will remain the private business of Americans at least until later this month when a federal court hearing will be held on a law which would open accounts to government scrutiny. U.S. District Judge William T. Sweigert yesterday issued a temporary restraining order to keep the Bank Secrecy Act from taking effect tomorrow.

The order covers all banks in the United States and will remain in effect until a three-judge panel opens its hearings July 20." The American Civil Liberties Union, the California Bankers' Association and Democratic congressional candidate Fortney Stark, Walnut Creek, sought the restraining order. They argued that the act, Public Law 91-508, violates the U.S. Constitution. Congress enacted the law in 1970 to open bankcustomer secrets to federal scrutiny for the reported purpose of catching underworld financial manipulators, tax cheaters and persons sending money to Swiss banks. The law was to have gone into effect in May 1971, but was delayed by the government until tomorrow.

Sweigert said his order does not stop banks from keeping all records for possible future disclosure to the government. Critics of the act charge that almost every American could be affected and that it would permit deep invasions of privacy. Hijacking plan fails; man held PORTLAND, Ore. (P). FBI agents in Portland arrested Daniel Bernard Carre, 25, of Tacoma, last night and charged him with the attempted hijacking of a Hughes Airwest flight from Seattle to Portland.

Carre had been searched by airline officials in Seattle because they said his appearance and behavior fit a profile of potential hijackers. No weapon was found and Carre was permitted to board. During the flight Carre mumbled to hostess Judy Frasier, 27, that he had a knife and wanted $50,000 and a parachute, airline officials said. Stewardess Frasier informed Capt. Leonard Hipp.

Hipp radioed ahead to the Portland airport and Carre was apprehended by federal authorities after the plane touched down. in its fourth month is far finished.

PRESIDENT TALKS ABOUT FOOD PRICES George Schultz (left) and Herbert Stein Nixon seeks $2.25 'extra' cost could WASHINGTON, D.C. (P) President Nixon has asked Congress for an extra $2.25 billion primarily for the Indochina war nearly a one-third increase in war costs. The President made the request yesterday without indicating whether it is all or only part of the extra war money needed. Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird has said the extra war costs could go to $5 billion if the United continues bombing, mining and other operations against North Vietnam at the present pace through the end of the year.

The President indicated at his press conference Thursday night that he intends to continue U.S. war operations at that pace until Hanoi is willing to accept a cease-fire and release American prisoners. The President's request covers the full range of military weapons, pay, operations and construction costs but gives no details on what operations are involved. But the summary says "the increased level of enemy activities in Southeast Asia necessitates" $2.79 billion. This is offset by a $543 million Safeguard antimissile system savings under the Moscow arms accords for the net $2.25 billion increase.

(UPI) Police Chief Rocky Pomerance will have an estimated 2,000 state and local lawmen under his command under a revised security plan for the Democratic and Republican National Conventions. Area chiefs of police decided yesterday to double number of officers at the conventions and to create "mobile strike forces." The shift in security plans comes just 10 days before the opening of the Democratic National Convention.

It was seen as a move to eliminate the need for federal troops or Florida national guardsmen. The plan calls for five mobile strike forces of 50 to 100 men. The groups would be spotted around Miami Beach. The plan was disclosed just hours before a civil defense expert predicted that there will be only 6,000 protestors at the Democratic National Convention instead of the 50,000 to 150,000 cited in earlier predictions. The new estimate came from George Rodericks, on a leave of absence from Washington to be special consultant to the Dade County manager.

Rodericks said, "Many movement people are broke and are, having a hard time getting down here." He said those who could afford only one trip probably would choose to come to the Republican convention in August. Beach, and National Guard and federal troops were to be counted upon for any major disturbances. The new plan was seen as a move to spare Florida Gov. Reubin Askew the embarrassment of having to mobilize the National Guard and President Nixon having to activate federal troops in the event of serious civil disorder.

Protestant barricades defy troops in Ulster BELFAST, Northern Ireland (P Ulster took on an air of siege today as masked and uniformed Protestants threw up hundreds of barricades in at least 10 cities in defiance of British troops. More than 20,000 hooded men joined by some masked women, sealed off Protestant areas and brought normal busy Saturday life to a virtual standstill throughout the province.

British troops and Roman Catholics made no attempt to break down or crash through the buses, trucks, cars and rubble that sealed off Protestant areas.
