Cabbies' Strike In Tampa Ends TAMPA UP) Tampa's 2Mr month-old driver strike against the Yellow Cab Co. has ended with acceptance of a contract including a 1 per cent increase in commissions, added fringe benefits, and guarantee of driver seniority. Mayor Dick Greco, who joined the talks in the role of a mediator, said he would recommend that the City Council approve a taxicab fare increase to help what all concerned in the negotiations called a "sick industry." REYKJAVIK, Iceland III chess wizard Bobby Fischer has informed local officials he will not play the second half of his world title match against the Soviet Union's Boris Spassky in Iceland, the president of the local chess association said Saturday.

Gudmundur G. Thorarins-son said the International Chess Federation should tackle the problem. Fischer had requested a change in financial conditions for the match and was turned down by both Reykjavik and Belgrade, Yugoslavia. The two cities have been named as sites for the match. In a second telegram to Iceland Friday, Fischer said that because of "unacceptable financial terms" he refused to play in Iceland at all.

Fischer had asked in a cable to the Icelandic organizers that all money left over after the cost of the match should be divided between Spassky and himself. The organizers in Belgrade on Thursday followed the lead of their colleagues in Reykjavik by refusing altered financial conditions. These developments followed reports from Amsterdam that an agreement on financial matters had been reached by representatives of the players and the organizers. The Yugoslav organizers on Thursday cabled the chess federations of Iceland, the Soviet Union and the United States, and Dr. Max Euwe, president of the international organization, saying they would not accept any change.

They said that the organizers, bearing the financial risk, were entitled to any profits that ensued. 'A NEW FLORIDA POTATOES $1 AA FOR 50 LB. I 11 BAG and UP 9 A.M. to 6 P.M. WHILE THEY LAST 2998 SOUTH ST.

produced evidence Saturday designed to discredit a memo attributed to ailing lobbyist Dita Beard. ITT said chemical analysis indicated that the memorandum, published last month by columnist Jack Anderson, was prepared early this year, not last summer as al-ledged by Anderson. The memo links the Justice Department's decision to drop three antitrust suits against ITT with the company's pledge to help underwrite the 1972 Republican convention, a charge denied by both ITT and Justice. Comparison of the memo published by Anderson and other material produced in Mrs. Beard's office, ITT said, "points to a period around January 1972 as the most likely time when the alleged June 25, 1971 memorandum released by Anderson was typed." ITT said its tests were conducted by Pearl Tytell of New York and Dr.

Reuss, asked the Treasury Saturday to release a representative will be unveiled in West Germany in late May. One purpose, Defense officials say, is to interest the Atlantic allies in what remote sensors can do to improve the combat efficiency of their forces, in hopes they will decide to manufacture and employ them. Also planned are large scale troop exercises with both American and German battalions to determine which devices work best in relatively congested areas of Europe. One Defense official commented: "In some respects we have a simple problem with sensors in Southeast Asia; in many areas' we know that anything that moves is enemy. But how well can the devices differentiate, say, between the movement of commercial trucks or buses and tanks in areas of dense population?" salutes from parading soldiers and school children Saturday but had to celebrate Greece's independence day without the nation's spiritual leader.

The 53-year-old strongman, decked out in formal morn-i dress, reviewed the parade alone on a platform, marking his new role as crown regent or chief of state. It was the 151st anniversary of Greece's independence from Ottoman Turkish rule and the premier's first public appearance as crown regent. Speculation hummed through Athens that Papadopoulos was at odds with the missing Orthodox church primate, Archbishop Ieronymos. The prelate swore in Papadopoulos only last Tuesday as crown regent. But he violated tradition by failing to show up to lead independence day religious services at the Orthodox cathedral.

A church source said the archbishop left after Tuesday's swearing-in ceremonies for the Cyclades island of Tinos and has not returned. An official spokesman said earlier that Archbishop Ieronymos was out of Athens for the day. sampling of the tax returns of persons with reported incomes over $200,000 in 1970 who paid no taxes that year. Reuss said the Treasury has reported it has received copies of 112 such returns. In a letter to Edwin S.

He said names of the individuals would not be used. scribed by ITT as "experts in the field of questioned documents." The FBI said Friday that its tests indicated that both the memo published by Anderson and the one made public by ITT were typed on Mrs. Beard's typewriter. Anderson, meanwhile, released the results of a lie-detector test taken by associate Brit Hume, who has claimed that Mrs. Beard conceded the authenticity of the memo published by Anderson before it was published.

Anderson said in a letter to Sen. Philip Hart, that he had asked Hume to take the test because Mrs. Beard's denunciation of the memo "has raised the prospect that her testimony will conflict with that given your committee by my associate." Mrs. Beard, under treatment for a heart ailment, has made no comment on the controversy, except for a statement issued through a lawyer describing the memo published by Anderson as a hoax.
