Wallace discounts third party race MIAMI BEACH. Fla. (AP) His proposals rejected by the Democrats, Alabama Gov. Georke C. Wallace has not closed the door completely on another third-party campaign.

"I don't have any plans now politically except to go back to Alabama," Wallace said Thursday. Asked if that ruled out another American Independent Party effort, the crippled governor replied: "As I said, I don't have any political plans at this time. That would include that, of course." But, he added: "I don't say I won't ever have any." Wallace chatted for more than an hour in his hotel suite with Alabama newsmen cov- ering the Democratic National Convention, where the governor trisd unsuccessfully to get the presidential nomination. The convention also refused to write into the party platform Tuesday night such Wallace proposals as an end to busing to achieve school desegregation and a stronger military posture. Third-party speculation intensified Wednesday when Wallace campaign manager Charles S.

Snider told newsmen the prospects were "growing stronger and stronger every minute." Wallace flies today to Birmingham for treatment at the Spain Rehabilitation Center. President. Nixon has made available another Air Force hospital plane like the one which Flew the stricken governor to Miami. During Thursday's news conference, Wallace recalled the moment he was shot May 15. "I thought I was going to die," he said.

He also remembered his conversation with doctors when he arrived at Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring, Md. "They asked me what I had to eat," Wallace said. "I told them I had hamburger and mashed potatoes. They said that was important because food in the stomach increases the danger of infection. "If you're going to get shot," he told reporters with a grin, "it's better to do it on an empty stomach."

Haas. Five convicts captured, surrender Fischer protests one shot after escape NASHVILLE, Tcnn. (AP) An air, land and water chase for six state convicts using a runaway prison bus to flee officers has left one fugitive dead and the other five recaptured. The bizarre escape, which began at a prison picnic area and wound up on the banks of the muddy Cumberland River, had law enforcement officials scurrying about in speedboats, a helicopter and at least two patrol cars for more than three hours. "1 don't think I've ever seen anything quite like what happened today (Thursday)," said Tennessee State Prison Warden Jim Rose, a veteran prison administrator.

"It was really unusual, but something like this can be expected when you have 1.800 men." The escape took place in a wide open expanse of land which had authorities confusingly spreading out in every direction. At times they were forced to reverse their course banks and dense trees. When it was all over, the prison garb of one escapee was found dangling from a treetop, the fugitives and several officials, had trudged knee-deep in mud, and one inmate was recaptured with nothing but his underwear on. The six convicts were identi- tied as Ronnie S. Kimbrcll, 23, of Fort Pierce, who drowned: Charles Davis, 20, of Scottsboro, Ronnie W.

Franklin, 25, Nashville; Eddie Warfield, 18, Clarksville; Clyde E. Tripplett, 27, Memphis; and James W. Thompson 2(i, Nashville. The six escaped while riding a prison bus with 36 other inmates and three armed guards. The bus had picked up the inmates, members of a prison farm work detail, and was of by the rapid movement of the convicts who had fanned out along the river transporting them to a hilly picnic ground about two miles west of the main penitentiary grounds in Nashville.

"I opened the door of the bus and let the three shotgun guards out," said guard-driver Jimmy Fox. Aloments later he freed the inmates from behind a screened gate inside the bus. "That was when two of the prisoners came up to me with homemade knives," Fox said. "One of them put his knife to my side and the other shouted to the guards to bring them their shotguns." "Don't turn over a damn thing to them," Fox said he yelled to the three guards, who had just stepped off the bus. One of the six convicts then released the vehicle's emergency brake and the bus rolled without a driver toward the a half mile away from the picnic area.

The bus eased to a stop, about 200 yards from the river, and the six convicts Fox unharmed inside the bus. Immediately, Nashville po licemen, prison guards a Civil Defense dispatched am recovered the body of the sixth Deaths MRS. ANNIE L. BLACK KINGS MOUNTAIN Mrs. Annie Louise Black, 59, of 830 N.

The hijacker had demanded and received $200,000. chess game loss REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Bobby Fischer filed a protest Thursday night after the referee in the world chess championship ruled that he had forfeited the second game to Soviet titleholder Boris Spassky by not showing up.

Fischer stayed in his hotel room Thursday and refused to play unless three cameras filming the match for movie and television sales were removed from the hall. Since the American challenger lost the first game on Wednesday, referee Lothar Schmid's forfeit ruling gave Spassky a 2-0 lead. Schmid said the third game of the 24-game match would be held on schedule Sunday, but the future of the match was very much in doubt. Schmid said it depends on whether Fischer continues his boycott. He added that the World Chess Federation FIDE could step in at any time and disqualify him.

But Dr. Max Euwe, president of the organization, said Schmid was still in charge of the match and must decide how to handle the American. A spokesman for promoter Chester Fox, who bought the movie and TV rights for the match from the Icelandic Chess Federation, said the cameras had to stay because "the whole financial structure of the match depends on it." It was the prospect of movie and TV sales that allowed the Icelanders to offer a record $125,000 purse to the two players, and Fischer ami Spassky are also to divide a share of the movie-TV money estimated at a minimum of $55,000. Fox said Fischer admitted he couldn't hear or see the three cameras, but "he said they bothered him because he knew they were there." i "DEPENDABLE BRANDS AND SERVICE FOR OVER 76 YEARS" factory sponsored QUANTITIES LIMITED!
