Ort UL, Jity 1, '71 Fischer Stalls Again as Chess Tourney Nears ON ALL STEEL HOME STORAGE ronrsj ers in the world who could walk off the plane and play a topflight game. Usually, players require several days, if not weeks on the site in advance to get mentally prepared.

Icelandic Federation officials said the draw on who would play the white pieces and thus make the first move would be conducted Saturday night whether or not Fischer was here. The rules governing play specify that a player has one hour to make his first move. If the time limit is exceeded he forfeits the game. That means that if Fischer failed to appear for the start of the first game the clock would tick away an hour with Spassky sitting before a fresh demand by Fischer for 30 per cent of the gate receipts collected during the match. Without the extra money, he threatened to boycott the match scheduled to begin on Sunday.

Once Fischer earned the right to challenge Spassky, after eliminating a series of strong opponents in the challenge round, plans began to go awry for the "match of the century." There have been disputes over money, the site, lighting conditions, housing and even down to the kind of car the host federation should provide for Fischer. Until the new demand for a share of the gate, Fischer and Spassky had agreed to By STEPHENS BROENING Associated Press Writer REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Organizers of the world chess championship reported considerable progress Friday night in their negotiations with Bobby Fischer's lawyer over a last minute demand for more money by the American challenger. However, after an hour and a half session with Andrew Davis, Fischer's attorney, officials of the sponsoring Icelandic Chess Federation said they had been given no assurances Fischer would appear for the beginning of the match Sunday with Russia's Boris Spassky. A spokesman for the federation said he got the impression Davis was L2)UUN Social Security Bill Provisions S. Viets 3 Miles From Quanq Tri JF.

Because his sect, the Church of God, recognizes Saturday as the Sabbath, Fischer won't travel between sundown Friday and sundown Saturday. It appeared the only time left for him to leave New York and still make the Sunday afternoon deadline, was a flight late Saturday night getting him into Reykjavik only hours before the first game at 5 p.m. 1 p.m., EDT.

Larry Evans, an American grand master and friend of Fischer, said Fischer was one of the few play Library Dedication Thursday Salem's new central library in the Civic Center complex will be dedicated in brief ceremonies Thursday morning. Mayor Vern W. Miller will cut the ceremonial ribbon at 9 a.m., followed by an invocation by Rev. John Stewart, First Presbyterian Church. Remarks will be offered by J.

The trick was to get out, however and it took some crying and help from neighbors who ripped off the front of the machine and freed her after half an hour. (AP) (Story also on pogo 1.) BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The 20 per cent increase would be paid to the 27.8 million recipients of retirement, family survivor and disability benefits, it would amount to an $8.5 billion annual boost, by far the largest in the 37-year history of the system, and would bring the yearly payout close to $50 billion. The average payment for an individual, now $129 a month, would be raised to $158. For a couple, the average would go from $223 to $271.

The present $70.40 minimum would be increased to $84.50. The maximum which could be received by an individual retiring this year would go to it now is $216.10. The amendment also would put into the system for the first time automatic increases to meet inflation. Every time the price index advances 3 per cent or more, benefits would be adjusted accordingly. The Totem Pole Factory Will Be TV Feature MOLALLA Gordon Watkins.

operator of "Oregon's only totem pole factory. Gordon's Wood Art." on Highway 99E here, will be featured in a new half-hour national television program this fall. "People High and Wild." Television film crews have been filming his work this week, including the carving of cigar store seeking a compromise in the dispute over the new financial conditions posed by Fischer. Davis, Fischer's confidant as well as legal adviser, arrived here Friday on a flight from New York which was to have carried the 29-year-old chess genius to the site of his 24-game match. Fischer had reserved space on the plane and checked his luggage on before he changed his mind.

He suddenly called for his bags from the aircraft and disappeared from New York's Kennedy airport after holding up the flight for more than two hours. What Davis and officials of the Icelandic Chess Federation had to sort out was a first such change could come in 1975. Social Security experts have calculated that, if the amendment becomes law and prices advance 2 per cent annually, a worker starting out now and paying the maximum tax each year, could draw a $2,360 monthly benefit in 2015. The amendment would change both the tax base, the amount of annual earnings on which payroll levies are paid and the rates to finance the new benefits. The base, now permanently fixed at $9,000, would go to $10,800 next year and $12,000 starting in 1974.

After that, it could be adjusted upwards to pay for cost-of-living increases. The rate, now 5.2 per cent each for the employer and worker, would go up to 5.5 per cent next year. These changes would boost the maximum tax, now $468, to $594 in 1973 for a person earning $10,800 or more and to $660 in 1974 for one earning $12,000 or more. However, a worker earning $9,000 or less actually would pay a smaller tax in 1973 and subsequent years than he would under present law. The reason is that the rates prescribed by the law now are higher than those in the proposal.

For example, under present law the 1973 rate will be 5.65 per cent compared with 5.5 per cent under the amendment. The Social Security Administration estimates about 80 per cent of all workers would pay lower taxes in the next 25 years under the new provision than under present law.

Fischer has the ngnt to three postponed games during the match, as his opponent does. If Fischer exercised this prerogative for the first three games, the start of the match would be moved back a full week to July 9, since the schedule calls for games on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

However, the rules require that a player requesting a postponement for sickness the only valid reason must produce a certificate signed by a doctor saying he's not in good health. command torces killed more than 1,000 South Vietnamese troops and shot down seven aircraft in the first two days of the operation. The South Vietnamese advance appeared to be moving according to schedule but was slowed somewhat by the absence of bridges spanning two rivers south of Quang Tri. Many of the bridges were destroyed by allied air strikes after the province fell. The South Vietnamese paratroopers moving toward the provincial capital were leapfrogged by helicopters over their supporting armor.

Officers said they encountered no heavy organized resistance, but added that the troops clashed sporadically with small groups of enemy soldiers. The assault zone south of Quang Tri was so heavily pounded by U.S. B52 bombers before the helicopter lift that some pilots were unable to see through the dust clouds and dropped several hundred troops at alternate landing sites. Small groups of enemy snipers still lurked in bombed areas behind the paratroopers' front lines and several South Vietnamese positions along Highway 1 took occasional artillery fire. Extra Patrols Aim to Keep Road Toll Down The Oregon State Police say they will have every available officer patrolling the state's highways the next four days to help keep Fourth of July weekend traffic deaths to a minimum.

The state's traffic death toll so far this year is 350 in the Associated Press tabulation, compared with 288 for the same period last year. And the 77 deaths recorded so far for June make this month the worst June, in terms of highway deaths, in the state's history. The special state police patrols, which include even officers normally assigned to desk work, began Friday night and will continue through Tuesday night. 2nd Killing Jars Truce BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) A man was shot dead early Saturday in Belfast in the second killing since a precarious cease-fire went into effect five nights ago. First reports indicated the unidentified man as gunned down from a speeding car in Penrith Street, just on the Protestant side of a corrugated metal "peace line" fencing off Roman Catholic from Protestant strongholds.

He was the 391st person to die in three years of conflict. A Catholic truck driver was shot dead early Tuesday when the truce was only seven hours old. Reports said he had refused to stop at an IRA roadblock. Protestant militants Friday night built barricades with hijacked trucks, buses and cars, creating at least 20 no go" areas in the capital in defiance of British troops and the Irish Republican Army. jjl jffj I MEDITERRANEAN WARDROBE 36" 21" 66" Hand-rubbed finish on simulated pecan.

i ifJE at- Kir jj -If I SAIGON (AP) South Vietnamese forces drove within three miles of Quang Tri City Friday and encountered sporadic enemy resistance that was strong at times as they fought to regain the country's northernmost territory. President Nguyen Van Thieu visited the war zone and declared government troops would not stop their drive with the reconquest of the provincial capital but would "recapture the whole province of Quang Tri." He conferred with Lt. Gen Ngo Quang Truong, commander of the operation, and top field officers at the Citadel in Hue and later told newsmen he was "greatly encouraged" by the counteroffen-sive so far. The government task force continued to push forward as the drive entered its third day. The operation to retake the province that fell to the North Vietnamese two months ago has been termed "absolutely crucial" by some U.S.

officers. Government paratroopers advanced a mile during the day, and were three miles south of the city by nightfall, while South Vietnamese marines battled enemy troops along the coast, several miles east. The marines reported 79 North Vietnamese killed in three engagements along the coast and listed their own losses in the two-day helicopter assualt on the area as about 10 killed and 40 wounded. Associated Press photographer Jacques Ton-naire reported enemy mortar fire hit the marines as they moved across the sand dunes toward the coastal road known as the "Street Without Joy," wounding several men. The Saigon command has reported more than 370 enemy troops killed in the three-day push to retake Quang Tri at a cost of about 20 government troops dead.

The Viet Cong's Liberation radio claimed Communist ami Beach, but Daley did not refer to such an appeal. Sen. George McGovern is expected to get at least 41 of the 59 delegates if the ruling is upheld at the convention July 10. The Daley forces in Washington vowed to take their fight to retain their seats to the full convention and also into the federal court in an effort to overturn the committee's decision. Unlike the frenzied floor action that marked the California contest, there was little huddling of delegates and no sign of key political operatives from the presidential candidates during debate on the Chicago challenge.

Any hopes of a compromise on the Illinois dispute vanished when McGovern lost his California delegates Thursday. With the 10 California delegates who had been ineligible to vote in their own contest back on the voting roster and the anti-McGovern Illinois delegates unable to vote, the McGovern forces were in charge from the beginning and were in no mood to IB ft IS I The Weather $5 EXTRA FOR COLOR 30" CHIHA Sliding glass doors.

(AP) -FBI agents in Portland arrested Daniel Bernard Carre, 25, Tacoma, Friday night and charged him with the attempted hijacking of a Hughes Air West flight from Seattle to Portland.

Julius Mattson, special agent in charge of the Portland FBI office, said Carre will appear before a U.S. magistrate as soon as a hearing can be set. Lee Pitt, spokesman for Hughes Air West, said Carre boarded Flight 775 in Seattle bound for Salt Lake City via 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 the plane.

During the flight, Pitt said, Carre mumbled to hostess Judy Frasier, 27, that he had a knife and wanted $50,000 and a parachute. Stewardess Frasier informed Capt. Leonard Hipp of the man's actions. Hipp radioed ahead to the Portland airport and Carre was apprehended by federal authorities after the plane touched down. State Gets Low Bid on Route 22 Job The State Highway Commission has received an apparent low bid of to build a new four-lane section of Highway 22 between Independence Junction and Rickreall west of Salem.

Making the low bid was a combine of Ray Kizer Construction Aurora, and Hannan Redding, Calif. Work will begin in the next few weeks on the project. The new 5.1-mile section will run north of the present two-lane route between Rickreall and the Oak Knoll Golf Course. When the work is finished, the highway will be four lanes from Salem to Rickreall.

Daley said Friday the unseating of him and 58 other uncommitted Illinois delegates by the Credentials Committee of the Democratic National Convention was "regrettable and a great disservice to the Democratic party." "I believe the great majority of rank and file Democrats from coast to coast agree that the Credentials Committee has performed a great disservice to the Democratic party by disenfranchising over 900,000 voters who elected the Illinois delegates," the Chicago mayor said.

The committee voted 71-61 Friday night to unseat the delegation headed by Daley, one of the nation's most powerful Democrats. "This action by the Credentials Committee is a violation of the principles which have made the Democratic party of the nation," Daley said in a prepared statement "I shall continue to fight for those principles," he added.
