Press secretary Ronald L.

Ziegler said Monday the chief executive's speech will be broadcast live at 9:05 a.m. PDT (12:05 p.m. EDT) Tuesday from the Western White House. Nixon will talk for about 10 minutes, Ziegler said. The speech, which Ziegler said would be carried live by all radio networks, fits Nixon's pattern of using holidays as occasions for nationwide addresses.

He made this visit, he had spent only six days this year at San Clemente. The owner of Grand Cay, New York industrialist Robert Abplnalp, and Nixon's Key Biscayne neighbor, banker C. G. "Bebe" Rebozo, are with the President in San Clemente. Before Mrs.

Nixon arrived Sunday night, they dined with Nixon and Kissinger at Chasen's restaurant in Los Angeles. There the President got a taste of ris-i prices. He ordered a "hobo steak" an extra-large New York sirloin seared in butter. The price was $9.25, which a waiter said was 25 cents more than the price the night before. The White House also issued Nixon's annual Independence Day message, which cited America's heritage as the "home of the free and the haven for the weak and oppressed from other parts of the world." "Great trials and greater triumphs still lie ahead for us as a people," the message said.

"There are still wrongs to be righted, and new goals of peace, prosperity, justice and a better environment to be met." In words Nixon is expected to expand upon in his radio address, the message added: "But as long as we remain true to the ideals of America, as long as our energy does not flag and our faith does not fail, no problem is too great and no evil Is too strong to be overcome by a united American people." The President flew here Saturday for a two-week stay halfway through an election year which has seen him spend about two-thirds of his time away from the White House. Of the 182 days during the half-year, Nixon was away from Washington all or part of 121 days. His favorite retreat is Camp David in Maryland's Catoctin Mountains, where he spent all or part of 53 days. Next in line was his home at Key Biscayne, Fla. He spent all or part of 32 days there or at the Bahamian Island of Grand Cay, commuting distance away by helicopter.

Until Great Chess Match On Voters Still Favor Nixon PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) President Nixon continues to be favored by voters over his possible Democratic rivals, according to a recent Gallup Poll. The results of the survey released Sunday indicate Nixon would gain 53 per cent of the popular vote if his opponent in the presidential election were South Dakota Sen. George McGovern. The survey showed McGovern receiving 37 per cent of the ballots with 10 per cent of the voters undecided.

Against Minnesota Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, the poll showed the President with 55 per cent of the vote, compared with 33 per cent for Humphrey and 12 per cent undecided. A Gallup spokesman said despite his repeated disavowals of any interest in seeking the nomination this year, the poll vote getting strength as does McGovern. showed that Massachusetts Sen.

Edward M. Kennedy demonstrates fully as much The spokesman said if Nixon was to face Kennedy in the election the President would receive 53 per cent of the vote while Kennedy would get 38 per cent with another 9 per cent undecided. According to the spokesman, the statistics were based on interviews June 16-19 with 1,159 registered voters in 300 New York City, will be Fischer's official second for the match, said Marshall. All along, the issue hasn't been the money, Marshall said. "It was the principle.

He felt Iceland wasn't treating this match or his countrymen with the dignity that it and they deserved. And he was furious about the press censorship. He was flying around the room," said Marshall. Marshall was referring to the three-re-leases-per-game limitation which the Icelandic Chess Federation made for reporters covering the match. "They're trying to stop America from reading about it! That's what they've done all along," Marshall quoted Fischer as saying.

Fischer himself has shunned newsmen because he feels the press often misrepresents him, Marshall said. "He's not a trained interview subject, and he's very frank and outspoken Plus he's in training," said Marshall. He added that Fischer has been in good spirits. "Last night, he was jocular and relaxed," he said. Fischer fled from the airport last 500f lnvolved Feeera Judge Wont With Democratic Decisions General Motors To Recall Vegas "Fischer thought the offer was incredible and generous and brave," said Marshall.

"His only negative comment was that he felt the English were assuming the Icelandic responsibility." Fischer accepted after previously requesting and receiving a two-day postponement of the match. Why did Fischer accept? "The offer was couched in a way he couldn't refuse. It said, 'If he isn't afraid of Spassky, then Jim Slater, have removed the element of money," said Marshall. "So Bobby felt he had to accept. His pride he couldn't go down as a coward." Slater, chairman of Slater Walker Securities, proposed several deals.

In one, all $130,000 would go to the winner, raising the winner's prize to $208,000. However, Fischer took the deal to double the original prize money for the match, which stands at $125,000. The winner would get $156,000 and the loser, $104,000, splitting the extra prize money in the same percentage as the original purse. William Lombardy, grandmaster, of Interfere lines covering selection of national convention delegates. Hart held that the question of whether a winner-take-all primary was fair and equitable is "something to be determined by the convention itself and is not a matter for this court" because it did not raise a constitutional question.

McGovern already has urged convention delegates to reverse the Credentials Committee decision when they assemble. To the Daley people, Hart said Jerome Torschen, their attorney, failed to show that all the reasons given for rejecting the delegation were unconstitutional. Therefore, he said, the rulings by a party hearing examiner, Cecil F. Poole, were valid and could be used by the Credentials Committe to unseat Daley and his group. Hart also rejected a Democratic National Committee request for a counter-injunction against an Illinois state court, which is to rule Wednesday on a Daley bid for an order forbidding the convention to seat the anti-Daley challengers as dii rected by the Credentials Committee.

The challengers, represented by Chicago attorney Wayne W. Whalen, had sought the same injunction from Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist. He turned them down Saturday. "You are asking me to do what a U.S. Supreme Court justice wouldn't do," Hart told the petitioners.

McGovern, front-runner for the presidential nomination but still lacking the 1,509 votes needed for a first-ballot victory, had a major stake in both the California and Illinois cases. JOYCE ANN HUFF C)7c In Joy Killing LOS ANGELES (AP) The killing of a 4-year-old girl by a shotgun blast from a passing car was possibly a senseless "joy killing," a sheriff's deputy said Monday. Joyce Ann Huff was playing alone in a neighbor's yard about 7:30 p.m. Sunday in suburban Hawaiian Gardens when gunned down. Sheriff's Deputy Robert Wood said there appeared to be no motive for the shooting, and advanced the "joy killing" theory.

"From the trajectory and a study of the scene, it must be a blatant case of murder," he said. The girl was struck by 42 birdshot pellets, two of which lodged in her brain, and died about an hour later in a hospital, officers said. Witnesses said the shot came from a light-colored car containing three or four men. A similar car was seen cruising in the neighborhood earlier in the evening, deputies said. A statewide search was launched for the car and its occupants.

Race Track Bus Hijacked BALTIMORE (AP) Two armed men commandeered a busload of race track fans Monday and forced the driver to circle the city while they robbed the passengers. The two men, one armed with a shotgun, fled the bus with $3,413 an hour later at the Baltimore Beltway Interchange with Route 95 in Halethorpe, a small suburban community 10 miles south of here, police said. No one was hurt. Thomas M. Manning, manager of the Baltimore Motor Coach said the bus carried 46 passengers and was en route to Delaware Park Race Course at Stanton, Del.

Manning said the gunmen, who had boarded the bus at the downtown Baltimore Civic Center at about 11 a.m., pulled guns on the driver as the bus neared the Baltimore Beltway on Pulaski Highway, north of the city. He said the driver was forced to enter the Beltway and drive completely around the city while the gunmen went from passenger to passenger, taking valuables. Forty-three of the 46 passengers told police they had been robbed. Watch It This statue In a fountain in Rome's Piazza Navona seems to be reaching for Smmm i Again JAMES D.

A GM spokesman said the defect was caught by the company's own inspectors and not by the federal government. "We got this one very quickly and moved ourselves," he said. Chevrolet said 59 defective shafts have been reported to date. Two of the failures, the company said, resulted in minor body damage to the cars.

No injuries have been reported, the company said. Chevrolet said Vega owners, upon receipt of their recall letters, can take their cars to their dealers where the axle will be inspected and replaced free of charge if defective. The company put no estimate on the cost of the recall campaign. In April, 130,000 of the current 1972 models were recalled for a fuel and exhaust system correction. Then in May 350,000 1971 and 1972 models nearly all produced by that time were recalled for repair of a faulty carburetor bracket that could cause the throttle, to stick in an open position.

By ANN HENCKEN Associated Press Writer NEW YORK (AP) "It's a stupendous offer! I gotta accept it." That is how chess star Bobby Fischer is reported by his lawyer to have reacted to $130,000 offered by a British banker if Fischer would show up in Iceland and play Boris Spassky in a world championship match. The lawyer, Paul Marshall, said Fischer planned to leave New York for Rey-kyavik, Iceland, Monday night. The first scheduled match is Tuesday. The offer of 50,000 pounds or $130,000 at official parity came from James D.

Slater Monday morning. Slater put up his own funds because he wanted to solve Fischer's reported money questions and get the match under way. "What I'm saying to Fischer now is, 'Come out and Slater said in making the offer. Marshall said he called Fischer as soon as he got word of the offer at 8 a.m. New York time, and it took Fischer about six hours to decide, calling Marshall back with his acceptance at about 2 p.m.

State Holiday Death Toll Now At 20 By United Press International Michigan's holiday traffic death toll jumped to at least 20 with the death of three young persons Monday in a head-on collision on U.S. 12 near Hillsdale. The long 102 hour Fourth of July holiday officially ends at midnight today. In the last comparable Fourth of July holiday, in 1967, traffic accidents claimed 34 lives.

State Police at the Jonesville Post identified two of the dead as Gloria G. McKendrick, 19, of Detroit, and Kiven Charles Anderson, 18, also of Detroit, the driver. The identity of the third was not determined immediately. Officers said their small car attempted to pass another vehicle on a sharp curve on U.S. 12 and slammed head on into another auto.

The driver of that car was not injured seriously, police said. In another holiday accident, a teen-aged driver of a taxicab who had no driver's license was held on a charge of negligent homicide in a hit-run traffic accident in suburban Detroit Sunday that killed a 26-year-old man and seriously injured his pregnant wife. Gary Pepsin, 18, of Roseville, stood mute at his arraignment Monday on the charges of negligent homicide and leaving the scene of an accident. Killed in the accident when the taxi skidded out of control and smashed into the other car was Arthur Woodruff of Detroit. His wife, Debra, 18, suffered minor injuries and her unborn child was believed safe, doctors said.

WASHINGTON (UPI) A federal judge refused Monday to interfere with two Democratic party decisions denying George S.

Backers of McGovern and Daley had asked U.S. District Judge George L.

The circuit failure caused loss of about half an hour's trading information, information needed to produce a closing table that pigeon as the old saying goes "a bird in the DETROIT (UPI) General Motors Monday asked owners of virtually every Chevrolet Vega on the road to return them to dealers to check a defective axle shaft that could cause rear brake failure and the axle itself to fall off. It was the third major recall of Vegas in the last three months and affected 500,000 of the subcompact cars nearly every one built in the 1971 and 1972 model years. All Vegas built since the car was introduced are affected by at least two recall campaigns and many owners are involved in all three.

The Vega, constructed at GM's labor-troubled Lordstown, Ohio, assembly plant, was introduced as GM's answer to the challenge of small foreign cars in the 1971 model year. The Lordstown assembly line can produce 102 finished cars in an hour, and some workers have complained the line moves too fast to do a good job. A GM spokesman denied the latest defect was the result of an assembly problem. Rather, he said, it was caused by production of shorter axle shafts at a Chevrolet manufacturing plant. Chevrolet said the short shafts could cause a lock ring to disengage, setting up a chain reaction that could result in the failure of rear wheel brakes and ultimately cause the rear axle to drop off.

"Even if rear braking is lost through axle shaft movement," Chevrolet said, "the front brakes will remain operative because of the dual braking system.
