Roles Of 1968 Reversed PACE 2, SECTION A THE TIMES HERALD Wednesday, July 12, 1972 WORLD CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP FISCHER Hubert Bowed To 'Country Cousin i I ilLi mIiiI" sity where McGovern was a student and later a teacher, greeted the telephoned news of Humphrey's withdrawal and McGovern's almost certain nomination with a delighted, "Oh, Great!" Mrs. Earl, who like McGovern movisd from a small nearby hamlet (Mt. Vernon) to Mitchell, said all South Dakota is really excited about the convention. "We knew the nominee would probably be one of our South Dakota candidates, but here in Mitchell most people had their fingers crossed for McGovern," she said. It's easy to understand why both McGovern and Humphrey are heros in Huron and Mitchell, two cities of less than 15,000 population each, 50 cally joined hands after the in-traparty fight to try to boost Humphrey into the White House.

This year, the young upstart McGovern marched through state after state, getting an ever greater edge on Humphrey in their quest for the nomination. And so on Tuesday it was the old pro's turn to swallow hard and speak out to push his friend toward the Pennsylvania Avenue address in the nation's capital. To those back home who know Hubert and George best, Tuesday's developments in their political and personal relationships came as no surprise. Typical reactions: In Huron, S.D., Humphrey- town, 23-year-old Mike Maho-ney, an intern in the Humphrey family drug store, was reached by telephone after the senator's withdrawal announcement. "We were a little surprised, especially his (Hubert's) sister-in-law Harriet who now manages the drug store).

But a lot of the younger people who were for McGovern right along are really happy about it," said Mike, a pharmacy student at South Dakota State college. "Either way, we figured a South Dakotan would be the candidate," he added proudly. In Mitchell, S.D., McGoverntown, Mrs. Thelma Earl, a switchboard operator at Dakota Wesleyan Univer SPASSKY Board At Quang Tri Diagram shows placement of pieces as the world chess championship adjourned for the evening In Reykjavik, Iceland, Tuesday.

Spassky wrote down his next move on adjournment Tuesday and put it in a sealed envelope to be opened and carried out at the start of today's play. Fighting and Route 547, the main infiltration road toward Hue from the west. I the fighting around Quang Tri, the North Vietnamese seized the initiative in one battle. The Vietnamese launched one counterattack just before dawn today and seized hilltop positions from South Vietnamese paratroopers to the southwest, Associated Press correspondent Dennis Neeld reported from the front. The paratroopers then called in U.S.

air strikes on their attackers. Neeld said several battalions of South Vietnamese paratroopers on the edges of Quang Tri City were being pounded by long-range North Vietnamese artillery fire. Radio Hanoi announced today that a Communist Peo-pies' Revolutionary Committee was established last month to rule Quang Tri Province, which the North Vietnamese captured in May und are now defending against the South Vietnamese counterattack. The first of an expected 50,000 Protestants marched from the Carlisle Circus rallying point near Belfast's Crum-lin Road Jail. They were commemorating the July 1, 1690, Battle of the Boyne, which established Protestant domination over Roman Catholics in the north of Ireland.

Police said a Catholic youth of 15 was shot to death today by a group of men who burst into his Belfast home. Earlier, police found the hooded body of a man of about 25 in a small stream in Bel The broadcast quoted a 1 by the Viet Cong's National Liberation Front dated July 5 but gave no reason why the announcement had been held up for a week. An American official in Hong Kong, where the broadcast was heard, speculated that the communique had been "bac k-dated and the announcement is being made now as a propaganda ploy at a time when there is considerable question that the Communists can hold Quang Tri." On March fast. He had been shot In the head. In Portadown, a predominantly Protestant town about 25 miles southwest of Belfast, gunmen killed a 20-year-old youth as he stood with his father on a street corner.

In Belfast, organizers agreed to a government order to reroute today's parade away from the city's major Catholic districts, hoping to avoid sectarian clashes which have erupted during similar marches in past years.

Neither city has had much other claim to national fame. Nor has the state. McGovern is a bit more warmly regarded back home, because he stayed there. Born in tiny Avon, S.D., a hamlet of fewer than 600 people, he moved to Mitchell as a child when his Methodist minister father was reassigned to a church there. George went to grade school, high school, and college there.

When he made his decision to launch his political career by reorganizing and rebuilding the woefully weak South Dakota Democratic party in the early 1950s, he named himself executive secretary and opened a headquarters in Mitchell. That has been his base ever since, and still is home. Humphrey, whose father was a druggist, was born in Doland, S.D., population 800. When the senior Humphrey decided to expand his business, he chose nearby Huron as the "big city" in which to, pursue the drug business. Hubert jerked sodas there while in high school.

(Mike Mahoney Tuesday lamented the fact the soda fountain is no longer part of Humphrey Drug). Between mixing malted milks, Hubert lived, dreamed and talked politics. But he was a flaming young Liberal Democrat. And there weren't enough Democrats in those days in South Dakota to elect a soda jerk as dog catcher. So Hubert moved to neighboring Minnesota, where he quickly built a solid political base which led him to the mayoralty of Minneapolis, the U.S.

Senate, and the Vice Presidency. Barring some miracle, his political career has seen its zenith, one step short of the White House. But his timely withdrawal on Tuesday, designed to unite the party behind McGovern, demonstrated that if he can't occupy the White House himself, his next greatest satisfaction would come in seeing his "Country Cousin" from South Dakota there. The Humphrey-McGovern scripts read stronger than fiction. And politics is.

Payment Plan Side-Enlry 88 BELFAST (UPI)-With blaring brass bands and fluttering Union Jacks, thousands of Protestants moved off today in their biggest march of the year. As they assembled, fresh violence brought renewed threats of civil war in Northern Ireland. Police said seven persons were killed today and Tuesday, bringing to 13 the number of persons killed in Ulster since the Irish Republican Army (IRA) ended its two-week cease-fire Sunday.

Gannett News Service MIAMI BEACH They grew up in two country towns 50 miles apart on the prairie of South Dakota. Both had the political bug early, and both ultimately took aim on the White House. Hubert Horatio Humphrey and George Stanley McGovern. Four years ago, they fought each other for the Democratic presidential nomination. Humphrey, the old pro (then 57) who had left South Dakota and made his political mark in neighboring Minnesota, won.

But his young friend (then 45) who had stayed home and built his political base on the the prairie farms, enthusiasti Heavy SAIGON (AP) Heavy fighting was reported on three sides of Quang Tri City today and tank-led enemy forces blocked for the sixth straight day a government drive on the provincial capital. The U.S. Command disclosed that a laser-guided bomb on Tuesday breached the wall of the Citadel, the stronghold the enemy holds in the heart of the city. This opened the way for an eventual South Vietnamese push into the Citadel. Lt.

Col. Do Viet, a spokesman for the Saigon command, said that reports from the front indicated no South Vietnamese troops now were inside the city. The Saigon command reported 238 enemy troops were killed and nine tanks were destroyed in two days of fighting north, east and south of Quang Tri. The command reported South Vietnamese losses as 31 killed and 93 wounded. Most of the government casualties were reported in the helicopter landing of several hundred South Vietnamese marines a mile north of Quang Tri on Tuesday.

Three U.S. Marine helicopters flying in the South Vietnamese were shot down and two American crewmen were wounded. I another development, military officials at Hue reported that South Vietnamese troops recaptured Fire base Checkmate, 12 miles southwest of the city. It was the fourth time in two weeks that the strategic outpost has changed hands. Checkmate is atop a 1,000 foot promotory overlooking Fire Base Bastogne Paris Talks To Resume Thursday WASHINGTON (AP) The United States heads back into the Vietnam peace talks Thursday amid only modest predictions here about prospects for a settlement any time soon.

Secretary of State William P. Rogers, due in late today from a round-the-world trip, said before leaving Rome that he is generally hopeful the reopening Paris parley might bring some movement by a Hanoi negotiator toward ending the war. Assistant Secretary Marshall Green, the State Department's top Far East expert, returned from an East asian tour affirming that the United States will work hard for a settlement. "But I think we are dealing, quite realistically," Green said, "with pretty hard-bitten, intransigent, struggle-minded leaders in Hanoi." President Nixon's security affairs adviser, Henry A. Kissinger, told newsmen over the weekend that 'at least we have some reason to believe that maybe there will be a new approach" by North Vietnam.

"But we cannot guarantee it," he said, "because it will not be certain until we have heard it from them." Washington analysts have spotted no particular shift in North Vietnam's position in the public remarks of Hanoi negotiator Xuan Thuy upon his arrival in Paris Monday. They say Hanoi's terms would mean, in effect, a Communist takeover of South Vietnam. However, Le Due Tho, the Hanoi Politburo member who has met secretly with Kissinger in the past, is reported on his way to Paris and what he says privately may or may not diverge from their public stance. MATTER OF FASHION DONCASTER, England (UPI) Nurses at Doncaster hospitals complained to their union that they have been told not to wear tight-fitting uni-forms which excite male patients.

But the nurses believe the bulky whites are Save Up 60 At Break Dullest' Ever bilities of the position. Each principal has a grandmaster to assist him, Yefin Geller for Spassky and the Rev. William Lombardy for Fischer. Of most interest to chess buffs in the opening game was the question of who would be the aggressor. Would Spassky try for a quick initiative, or would he 'develop quietly to see what Fischer would do? Fischer practically always goes for the win, whether ahead or behind.

Each of the players has been preparing for the other for years. They knew that some day they would meet in a set match, and that the stakes would be high. Each one knows every published game of his opponent. Each has undoubtedly prepared many innovations specifically for this match. Would one of them be sprung in the opening game? Fischer played a defense popularized in the 1920s by Aron Ninzovich of Denmark.

For the first nine moves, the game was identical to one played in 1951 between Petro-sian and Tolush of the Soviet Union. Two moves later, the queens were exchanged, and the pawn formation was left in exact balance. More pieces soon went off the board, including all the rooks by the 23rd move. At that point, it seemed only a question of time before one of the players would propose a draw and the other would accept. The chance of error was not worthy of consideration with players of this stature.

But it happened. On his 29th turn, Fischer took a pawn that was unprotected. Both players knew that the bishop which captured the pawn could be trapped. What had Fischer seen? It must be put down to a rare miscalculation by the American genius. Perhaps he had thought of a resource by when the bishop might escape.

Spassky could then continue 33, K-Kt4, B-Kt8; 34, KxP, BxP; 35, B-Q2, and the black bishop is still lost. In the remaining moves of the session, Fischer put up all the resistance possible. It remained to be seen whether he could recover from the one error. In describing chess play, stands for King, Kt for Knight, for Queen, for Rook, for Bishop, for Pawn. The hyphen indicates a move, the a capture of a piece and the numbers the position on the board.

Thus B-Q2 indicates that the Bishop has been moved to the second square from the end of the board and in front of the Queen's original position. News Blackouts On Skyjaclcings Suggested WASHINGTON (AP) Strict controls over news on air line hijackings might help cut down on hijack attempts, according to the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO). John F. Leyden, the PATCO president, called for "an immediate blackout on skyjacking attempts" in a letter to Transportation Secretary John A. Volpe Tuesday.

"The twisted minds which contrive these heinous schemes receive their instant expertise through elaborate detailed accounts of previous attempts in the newspapers and television," he said. "Too often vivid details depicted by the media serve as an incentive to an already unbalanced mind which would even contemplate a crime of such serious magnitude," he added. Leyden said PATCO was not seeking to directly suppress news, but that it wanted "a change in the method used in disseminating that news." He did not elaborate. 'One Of Matches By ISAAC ASH DAN International Grandmaster LOS ANGELES (AP) Soviet titleholder Boris Spassky had good prospects for a win when the first game of the world championship chess match between the Russian and Bobby Fischer of the United States was adjourned Tuesday. Actually, until near the end, it was one of the dullest championship contests on record.

It was no surprise when Spassky, who had the white pieces and made the first move, started with advance of his queen pawn. After 40 moves and five hours of play, Spassky was a bishop ahead. The U.S. challe-n had five pawns to Spassky's three and his king was better placed. This may prove to be sufficient compensation.

When the game was adjourned, Spassky wrote down his 41st move and sealed it in an envelope which he gave to the match referee, in accordance with regulations. The envelope will be opened and the move revealed to Fischer at 5 p.m. Reykjavik time Wednesday, when the game will be resumed in the Icelandic capital. Long hours will be spent by both players and the seconds in examining all the possi- Weather?
