Treasury Secretary George Shultz met with 16 supermarket executives and top level officials of the government's anti-inflation apparatus on Wednesday. Following the meeting, Shultz predicted a drop in meat prices, telling a news conference: "We're not talking about years, we're talking about months and perhaps weeks." Shultz scheduled a meeting today with farmers, producers and farm suppliers.

And Friday, President Nixon plans to talk about rising food prices with three members of his Cost of living Council Shultz, consumer affairs advisor Virginia Knauer and chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors Herbert Stein. Shultz said Wednesday a number of ideas have been explored to bring meat prices down. SKIRTS BATHING SU ITS Bobby apologizes REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Bobby Fischer made a full and penitent apology to Boris Spassky today, and organizers of the world chess championship match said the two would meet for their first game Sunday night. The organizers said it had been agreed in principle to hold the drawing tonight to determine which player would have the white pieces and with them the first move. The young American, in a letter delivered by hand this morning to the world chess champion from the Soviet Union, apologized for his "disrespectful behavior." Fischer, whose delayed arrival doubled the prize money for both him and Spassky but also started an avalanche of confusion, asked the Russian to "accept my sincerest apology."

Bunkers pounded SAIGON (AP) U. S. Navy fighter-bombers pounded North Vietnamese bunkers south of Quang Tri City today, trying to blast open a path for a task force of South Vietnamese paratroopers advancing on the enemy-held provincial capital. Associated Press correspondent Dennis Neeld reported from the northern front that the carrier planes bombed a line of bunkers about 2Ms miles from the center of Quang Tri City. The bunkers were concealed in a row of homes shaded by trees and flanking Highway 1.

Two companies of North Vietnamese troops, perhaps 200 or more men, were reported entrenched in the bunkers. One captured prisoner told interrogators that they had called for reinforcements. Pullout demanded MOSCOW (AP) The Soviet Union today demanded the "unconditional withdrawal" of the U. S. naval base at Guan-tanamo Bay and pledged to continue supplying massive economic and military aid to Fidel Castro's Communist regime.

The Kremlin demand was made in a joint Soviet-Cuban communique published today as Castro left the Soviet Union for home after an 11-day visit 1 The Soviet leaders have once again stated that the Soviet Union resolutely condemns the economic and political blockade of Cuba conducted by the United States," the communique declared. 18 Americans die SAIGON (AP) Fourteen Americans were reported killed in the Indochina was last week and four more were listed as missing in action, the U. S. Command reported today. The battle deaths, believed to be mostly from air action, exceeded the weekly average of 9.5 for the first 13 weeks of North Vietnam's offensive.

U. S. wounded in action last week were put at 23, compared to an offensive-period average of 36. A South Vietnamese communique reported 2,765 enemy killed last week and listed government losses as 523 men killed and 2,199 wounded. Seven Americans were reported dead "not as a result of hostile action," a category that can include deaths in combat situations not directly caused by the enemy as when a helicopter goes down from mechanical malfunction during a battle.

Icelanders view Fischer as the 'Ugly American' SEMI-ANNUAL they include three men who talk only to the international chess Mafia, here in strength, of course. After a fortnight in which he built up his nice-guy image, Spassky almost had it shot out The American image was hardly improved by the case of the invisible cables. There were two of them, one supposedly from the American Chess Federation, the other from a Dr.

Anthony Saidy, said to be a friend of Fischer's. Both were allegedly sent to Fischer's unofficial representatives here, and both purportedly supported demands made for a postponement of the match. Neither cable arrived, and to top it all, Bobby said in New York that he wasn't ill. His representatives here had gone to International Chess Federation president Dr. Max Euwe pleading illness on Fischer's part, in asking for a two-day delay.

Nothing seems to embarrass them. In addition to Cramer, from underneath him. The Soviet Chess Federation opened up its big guns against not only Fischer but Dr. Max Euwe, the Dutch president of the International Chess Federation, and a man in way over his head in the current crisis. Spassky himself put out a statement, considerably more restrained than the noises from Moscow.

It appeared to some, including Dr. Euwe, that Spassky was simply going through the motions of protest after getting orders from Moscow. for MEN a BOYS trPS2 TROPICAL Cl LIGHTWEIGHT 10 MONTH-A-YEAR YEAR 'ROUND vol mouSER The Nation LIFETIME STONE FRONTS I ft. FREE Mr. Vflnr.

NAME ADDRESS PHONE By JOE ALEX MORRIS JR. Gannett News Service Special REYKJAVIK, Iceland like Americans here, not Russians," the pretty telephone operator said. "But we don't like your Mr. Fischer. We will be rooting for For many Icelanders, Bobby Fischer has become the latest version of the ugly American.

The 29-year-old challenger for the world chess crown and his team of advisers have been collecting bad publicity ever since Fischer missed his first plane to Iceland a week ago. Fischer has done it with his obstinate and to some arrogant demands for more money. His helpers have done their bit with whimsy, surliness and evasion. In contrast, the Russian Boris Spassky has been a real all-American guy. He plays tennis, talks to the press and drives around in a Ford Bronco, a jeep-type vehicle.

He built himself a sympathetic public here while Fischer sulked in New York. Monday night he received an enthusiastic ovation when he attended a soccer match and sat next to the Icelandic president. A great deal of this is gut reaction, and perhaps unfair to Fischer. Four years ago, a chess world championship win was worth very little. The pot for this match is now $250,000, plus 60 per cent of television and film rights.

But, like the Olympic games, the Fischer challenge has made chess a quasi-political affair. He is the first threat to Soviet domination in decades, and this championship match has taken on certain aspects of the big power struggle. Not that such considerations bother Bobby. "He doesn't worry about such things," said Fred Cramer, an executive of the American Chess Federation. Fischer doesn't say anything to anyone, except perhaps to Life magazine which has a financial connection to the American challenger.

But Cramer, a retired lighting engineer from Milwaukee, more than makes up for Bobby's silence. In the latest example, Cramer told the newspaper Timinn Wednesday that 80 per cent of the Icelanders want Fischer to win. Nothing would appear to be further from the truth: In countless conversations since Bobby's first abortive attempt to fly here was beaten back by photographers in New York, this correspondent has yet to find one Icelander sympathetic to him. "I hope he stays home," said a businessman shortly before Fischer finally made the flight over. The Courier-News A Gannett Newspaper Vol.

Mall subscriptions CN 76 Soft lenses hit WASHINGTON (AP) The soft contact lens should be pulled off the market until it can be tested more thoroughly by impartial scientists, a health researcher told a Senate subcommittee today. Dr. Sidney Wolfe said the product has been rushed onto the market without adequate testing of its safety and effectiveness. He accused some evaluators of "apparent conflict of interest" by holding stock in the companies manufacturing the products they were testing.

Wolfe is associated with the Health Research Group, a branch of Ralph Nader's consumer-advocacy organization, and formerly worked for the National Institute of Health. Tomb being built WASHINGTON (AP) A $15,000 tomb honoring America's unknown dead of the Vietnam war will be built this fall at Arlington National Cemetery even though there are no unidentified U.S. dead in this war. Cemetery planners say they have decided to go ahead anyhow, in the event one is found. "We hope there won't be one," said Bobbie R.

Beller, Arlington's project engineer. "But with the number of fatalities and the number of missing in action it's possible one will be found in a final sweep of the battlefield. "If not," Beller said, "the tomb will not be used." The tomb, a sunken crypt marked by a pink marble slab, will be placed between similar tombs honoring unknown dead from World War II and the Korean war and near the first tomb housing an unknown soldier from World War I. Calm week predicted MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) Police and demonstrators alike predicted next week's Democratic National Convention should be more peaceful as a result of the City Council's decision to let protest groups camp in a public park.

Within an hour Wednesday after the council reversed an earlier ban on campsites, more than 100 young people moved into the 36-acre Flamingo Park five blocks from where the Democrats will nominate their presidential candidate. The young people began to set up tents and roll out sleeping bags while some took their first showers in days at park facilities. ii far, Cvr-allant rnln-li'nnr tamed tine clothing by: Also who diiplayf mere Lane Gedear Ghests than Matthew?

Dr.

C. Kenneth Jewell, the newly appointed director of the Division of Animal Health, issued the warning specifically to horse owners saying a large population of the disease carrying mosquitos is almost probable because of recent rains. As a result, he added, all horses should be vaccinated against eastern, western and Venezuelan encephalomyelitis. Last year, there was an epidemic of Venezuelan encephalomyelitis in Texas, Arkansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Louisiana. The shipment of horses from those states to other areas was stopped until the disease was brought under control.
