(AP) A 43-year-old Navy chaplain accused by two women of having sexual relations with them was acquitted Friday night by a six-officer court-martial of misconduct by adultery.

Cmdr. Andrew F. Jensen, an American Baptist minister, was the first chaplain to be court-martialed in U.S. Navy history. He was accused of having sexual relations with two officers' wives who were active in his chapel program at Cecil Field Naval Air Station.

Big Monster Found Dead In Loch Ness defeated by Fischer last year. The division of the Spassky-Fischer match between Belgrade and Reykjavik represented a compromise tor both players. Fischer favored Belgrade and BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) The Belgrade organizers of the scheduled world championship chess match said Friday that Bobby Fischer of the United States has refused to play here and they are cancelling plans for the contest. Fischer has rejected financial terms of the match, to begin June 22. In Amsterdam, the World Chess Federation FIDE said Friday night it was asking the U.S.

Chess Federation to guarantee that Fischer would go ahead with the match with world champion Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union. Dr. Max Euwe, FIDE president, also sent a telegram to the Yugoslav Chess Federation asking it to delay any decision on holding the match until after an answer is received from the U.S federation. April 4 Deadline The FIDE secretariat said in a communique that the deadline for i i the guarantee would be April 4. Failure to receive the guarantee would be regarded as a refusal by Fischer to play the match with Spassky, the secretariat said.

The Belgrade organizers of the contest earlier had set Friday as the deadline for FIDE to guarantee that Fischer would show up for the contest. No guarantee came. Under an a announced by the federation 10 days ago in Amsterdam, the first half of the match was to be held in Belgrade starting June 22. The second half of the 24-game series was to be held in Reykjavik, Iceland. The winner's purse would be $138,500, with 72V2 per cent going to the winner and the rest to the loser.

Split Leftover Cash Fischer demanded that all money left over after the costs of the match were met be split between him and Spassky. The organizers in Belgrade and Reykjavik refused, saying they deserved the profits because they were taking a financial risk. Fischer told Reykjavik last Saturday that he would not play the match in Iceland because of "unacceptable financial terms." Word of his refusal to play in Belgrade for the same reasons was made public on Friday. E.B. Edmondson, director of the American Chess Federation, said Thursday that Fischer dismissed him as his financial negotiator for the match.

He said Fischer planned to conduct his own bargaining. In announcing they have dropped plans to set up the match as scheduled, the Belgrade organizers said Fischer's financial demands and his dismissal of Edmondson cast doubt on the future of the contest. Noting that FIDE officials failed to produce a pledge guaranteeing Fischer would stick by the terms of the agreement, they declared, "We are not in the position to bear any further Moments later the chaplain was surrounded by a half dozen Cecil Field wives who had raised $15,000 to pay for his legal defense. During the two and a half week trial, two Navy wives came forward to accuse Jensen of having illicit sexual relations with them. They were Mary Ann Curran, a 24-year-old nurse and wife of a Navy pilot, and Lora Gudbranson, 38, wife of a Navy commander.

Together they detailed 21 separate occasions in which they said they met with the chaplain in motels, apartments and at his quarters for, love trysts. Jensen, in two days of testimony before the court, denied having any intimate relations with the two women.

Others called it a cross between a seal and a walrus. Don Robinson, director of the Flamingo Park Zoo, said: Massive Head "I've always been skeptical about the Loch Ness monster, but this is difinitely a monster, no doubt about that. From the reports I've had, no one has ever seen anything like it before a fishy, scaly body with a massive head and big protruding teeth." Robinson said members of the team thought the monster had been dead two or three days. Skeptics suggested the creature might have been dumped into the water to fool the zoolo-ists, who were at the 1 a in cooperation with the Loch Ness Phenomena Investigation Bureau. Roderick MacKenzie, a 23-year-old Inverness musician, said: "I touched it and put my hand in its mouth.

It's real, all right. I thought it looked half-bear and half-seal green in color with a horrific head like a bear with flat ears. I was shocked." Ever since the early 1930s, tales of the Loch Ness monster have attracted scientists and tourists. Thousands of people over the years have claimed to have seen a scaly creature rising from the depths, flicking a snake-like head and rippling a row of humps. "Abortion unquestionably will have an effect," he said.

By William C. Mann NEW DELHI (AP) India is putting into practice on Saturday an abortion law that stoDS just short of abortion-on demand. The government insists it won't be used for birth control but hopes it will. Roughly comparable to California's permissive law, the statute allows abortions at up to weeks of pregnancy to protect the physical or mental health of the mother or to prevent the birth of a deformed child. The mental health provision includes allowances for rape, "the pregnant woman's actual or reasonably foreseeable environment" and even for the failure of any birth control method if the woman is married.

Government officials say the new law is merely a health measure for Indian women, and that's how it was set up when they sent it through Parliament last August. But the men who work with the law consider it more than that. "What country ever controlled its population with only standard birth control methods?" Asked Dr. Bhooshana Rao, an expert on the statue in the Ministry of Health and Family Planning. Seen As Start "Even in the short term of the next four or five years, abortions should go up by one million a year.
