Navy jets from 7th Fleet carriers off the coast scrambled into the night ski3r to attack the North Vietnamese, their tanks, artillery and automatic weapons fire. It was the first stiff resistance the South Vietnamese paratroopers have encountered since they began tightening their grip on the southern edges of the city three days ago. Associated Press correspondent Holger Jensen reported that South Vietnamese tanks knocked out two Soviet-built PT76 light amphibious tanks used by the North Vietnamese and a paratrooper knocked out a third with a hand-fired antitank missile. The other tanks fled into heavy thickets.

The letter began: "Dear Boris: Please accept my sin-cerest apology for my disrespectful behavior At another news conference, one of Fischer's lawyers said he'd come to say he had nothing to say. Yefim Geller, Spassky's second, fielded questions with: "Kak Gavarit po Angliski," or as you say in English, "No comment." The Rev.

William Lombardy, a Franciscan priest and avid chess player, told another session of the newsmen: "Money is putting chess on the map, because money makes the world go round." Then there's the "Eavesdropper," a man approaching middle age with a shock of graying hair combed in careful disarray onto his forehead. He takes voluminous notes, for a magazine piece, he says. On scraps of paper he records conversations he's overheard. He carries the scraps in a red plastic shopping bag as he moves soundlessly about the hotel lobbies. One final quote, from Gudmundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic Chess Federation, who was under pressure from Fischer to give up a share of the gate receipts: "I have worked for more than a year to get this match to Iceland.

I would do many things. But I will not bite into a sour apple."

Near the end it was: "Spassky go?" "I'm very pessimistic," Dr. Max Euwe said at 10 a.m. At noon: "It's a very delicate situation." At 7 p.m., the president of the International Chess Federation sighed: "There's hope." That was Tuesday.

It could have been any day in the garbled prelude to what chess lovers say is the match of the century Spassky of the U.S.S.R. vs. Fischer of the U.S.A. Spassky arrived early to wait for Bobby. Saying "I came to play," he philosophically accepted the first postponement when Fischer didn't show.

Later he demanded an apology or he wouldn't play. Fred Cramer, who advanced a slender claim to represent Fischer and called a lot of news conferences, forecast like a Blast damages farmers' co-op NEW BRUNSWICK (AP) -An explosion followed by a fire thundered through the Farmers' Cooperative Association building yesterday, destroying the structure. No injuries were reported. Firemen managed to keep the flames from spreading to adjacent businesses along Route 27 in the city's southern industrial complex. By GEORGE ESPER Associated Press Writer SAIGON (AP) South Vietnamese paratroopers and tanks forged into the heart of Quang Tri City today and seized control of two-thirds of the provincial capital that the North Vietnamese captured May 1.

A huge American air and naval armada covered the advancing South Vietnamese. South Vietnamese marines were closing in on the city from the east. One task force was reported to have advanced half a mile to the eastern outskirts and was a little more than a mile east of the Citadel, at the center of the city. A second marine task force made a helicopter landing V-k miles southeast of the city. Lt.

Col. Do Viet, a spokesman for the Saigon command, said that elements of a South Vietnamese paratroop battalion backed by tanks had pushed into the northern part of Quarig Tri a few hours before dawn. "They are right next to the Citadel," he said. Viet reported that resistance appeared to be light although the forwardmost troops of the battalion were shelled by 107mm rockets and long-range 130mm guns. "We control at least two- thirds of the city," Viet told newsmen.

Heavier fighting was reported on the southern and eastern fringes of the city. Viet reported 58 North Vietnamese killed and eight tanks destroyed on the outskirts. Paratroopers on the southern side battled heavy counterattacks Thursday night from Cold remedies rated WASHINGTON (AP) The National Academy of Sciences accepts less than 10 per cent of effectiveness claims made for a representative sampling of 27 nonprescription cold remedies. Among popular over-the-counter (OTC) compounds rated ineffective in a report released today is Coricidin cold tablets, manufactured by Schering Corp. of Bloomfield, N.J.

Contac sustained-release capsules, made by Menley James Laboratories of Philadelphia, were judged possibly effective, meaning there is no evidence that they work 12 hours against cold congestion. Among 45 effectiveness claims for the cold remedies evaluated, the academy's National Research Council judged four as effective, eight ineffective as fixed combinations, five effective with reservations, 15 possibly effective and 13 probably effective. Rated effective without reservation were Isophrin nose drops for nasal congestion; Fedrazil for hay fever; and Chlorephrine Nyscaps for hay-fever nasal congestion and as a time-release capsule. At the request of the Food and Drug Administration, NAS studied 420 OTC drugs as part of an effectiveness review of about 3,000 prescription drugs. "The 27 products are broadly representative of cold preparations on the market since most' are similar in composition to the drugs studied," the FDA said in releasing the data.

About 25 per cent of the OTC-drug claims were judged effective, compared with about 60 per cent of the prescription-drug claims rated effective or probably effective. The FDA has begun a three-year project to develop standards for 26 classes of OTCs on the market, estimated to range between 100,000 and 500,000. When the standards have been completed, the FDA said, the government may require revision of claims, changes in formulas or promotion, or removal of some OTCs from the market.
