(AP) -The Louisiana Farm Bureau, traditionally conservative, has repealed its lengthy opposition to trade with communist nations. In a voice vote at the group's convention Wednesday, delegates defeated a resolution to continue the anti-communist trade stand. A ell-received speech earlier in the week by Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz in praise of President Nixon's $750 million grain deal with Russia was the apparent spark that brought the farmers around. Butz told the farmers that the grain sale will create thousands of agricultural jobs and mean money in the pockets of farmers. In another resolution, however, the convention decided to continue its opposition to trade with Cuba.

The convention, which ended Wednesday night with a dance, also passed resolutions to: Oppose price supports for perishable commodities such as poultry and eggs. Recommend restrictions on the number of pipelines which may be laid in a given area. Oppose construction of a north-south toll highway in Louisiana. Support repeal of the 1970 Nixon Proposes Relief 'Purse' By EuRpne V. Kishrr SAN CLEMENTE, Calif.

(UPI President Nixon has proposed a $1.7 billion program, calling it the richest disaster relief purse ever, to give grants and loans at 1 per cent interest to victims of tropical storm Agnes. "Confronted with so massive a disaster emergency, our response must also be massive," Nixon said. "Conscience demands it; humanity impels it." The floods caused by Agnes devastated areas of Eastern states. Residents of six states-New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and Florida would be eligible for the disaster relief, if passed by Congress. Nixon called "the largest single amount ever allocated to recovery efforts in this country." He said it is needed to ameliorate the suffering caused by "the worst natural disaster in the whole of America's history." Under the proposal, announced in a five minute radio speech Wednesday, more than 120,000 homeowners and small businessmen who were wiped out by the floods would be eligible for grants of $5,000 each.

An estimated 115 homeowners and 6,000 small business owners would be eligible for the disaster relief. The first $5,000 would be an outright grant, and sums above that amount could be repaid over a 30 year period, at 1 per cent interest. The President's proposal was a substantial liberalization of existing disaster relief regulations. It doubles the current provision for $2,500 grants, and would haul interest rates down from 5-1-8 per cent. There earlier had been widespread criticism that relief efforts fell far short of what was needed, a criticism to which the President was especially sensitive in this election year.

More than $100 million has already been spent on flood relief, and the President recently Bobby Fischer peers through his open fingers during his game against Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union Wednesday in Reykjavik, Iceland. Fischer lost the first game in the 24-game match for the world chess title. They play again today.

"It's quite serious. He may not play at all," said a member of Fischer's entourage who asked not to be identified. Fischer was scheduled to meet the world champion from the Soviet Union later today at 1 p.m. EDT for the second game of their 24-game match. The American challenger lost the first game Wednesday night.

Fischer staged a 30-minute walkout shortly after the play began Wednesday, complaining that a movie camera 150 feet away was making him nervous. The camera was hardly visible in the dimness outside the lighted players' circle, and it could not be heard by Fischer, but aides said the knowledge of its presence unnerved him. Chief referee Lothar Schmid of West Germany, who makes the decisions on all contested points in connection with the match, told Fischer during his walkout there was nothing he could do about the camera. Film and television rights for the match have been sold to an American promoter, and Fischer and Spassky are to get a share of the proceeds, estimated at a minimum of $27,500 each. "It's up to Lothar Schmid whether Bobby plays," one of Fischer's advisers said today.

Fischer needs points to end the 24-year Soviet monopoly of the title. Today he plays the white pieces, which gives him the first move and a slight advantage. The first game in the match began Tuesday, and Spassky adjourned it after 40 moves with Fischer in bad straits. Five minutes after the game resumed late Wednesday afternoon, Fischer stood up, spoke animatedly to chief referee Lothar Schmid of West Germany and strode to a backstage dressing room. Schmid followed him, and Fischer said he wouldn't continue play unless a movie camera 150 feet from the board was shut off.

Schmid said he couldn't order the camera removed. Fischer stayed away for 30 minutes, then came back and resumed play. After Spassky's 5(ith move Fischer resigned. He reached over and stopped the clock after K3 minutes had elapsed, offered Spassky his hand, folded his scorecard and walked out. He paused once to wave to the audience, which was applauding Spassky.

When the play resumed Wednesday, Spassky had his king, a bishop that controlled the black diagonals and three pawns. Fischer was down to his king and five pawns, two of them loose on the king's side. One of Spassky's pawns threatened a Fischer pawn. In his first move, Spassky captured that pawn. Fischer recaptured with his king and the game turned into an effort by Fischer to push his pawns a square at a time to the last rank under the escort of his king.

After his walkout, he made an ineffectual sidestep with his king. In ensuing play all the pawns on the king's side were lost. Fischer shifted his king in a hopeless struggle to the other side of the board, where two of his pawns and two of Spassky's blocked each other's passage. signed a measure authorizing another $200 million, said Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler. More than 80 persons died, and about 128,000 homes and businesses were damaged or destroyed, by the massive floods set off by Agnes, which poured down torrential rains as it moved up the East Coast from the Florida Panhandle last month.

Nixon said he would request the new legislation when Congress reconvenes July 17. He also announced that a meeting of about 500 mayors and local governmental leaders would be held next Friday in Washington to expedite the delivery of federal relief services. "Never before has so thorough and so all-embracing a recovery effort been launched," Nixon said. "Never was it more uniquely necessary." II. P.
