POLICE IDENTIFIED the Military Aide Optimistic In Nixon Report WohmilM Ptil DltpUA SAN CLEMENTE. Calif.

President Nixon received a generally "optimistic" report on the military situation In South Vietnam Wednesday but little to cheer "him on the negotiating front. Informed sources said that Maj. Gen. Alexander M. Haig deputy assistant for national security affairs, reported optimistically to the President on the military front following his visit to South Vietnam and Cambodia.

HAIG RETURNED here Tuesday and reported to Mr. Nixon and Henry A. Kissinger, assistant for national security affairs, Wednesday afternoon. These sources acknowledged however, that there is no apparent progress in the President's diplomatic efforts to encourage a negotiated settlement. The comment was made even though both sides have agreed to return to the Paris peace talks July 13.

Hopes that these talks may produce an early settlement apparently have evaporated since Kissinger's return from China last month. HAIG, accompanied by seven other officials, visited South Vietnam and Cambodia over the weekend in one of a series of on-the-spot surveys he has made for the President. In addition to conferences with American military and diplomatic officials, Haig met with President Nguyen Van Thieu in Saigon and with Cambodian chief of state Lon Nol in Phnom Penh. grandson as Harold Mark Shamhlin, 17, a soldier who had been home on leave over the Fourth of July weekend from dents who stayed in the city said the Communists forced them to harvest rice during the two-month occupation. MOST OF the refugees left tho city Wednesday, trudging down Highway 1 toward Hue, the old imperial capital 32 miles to tho south which stayed in South Vietnamese control.

Huntley said the Communists opened fire with a big 13()mm artillery piece on a group of about 200 refugees crossing the Hui lam river bridge 2'i miles south of Quang Tri. He said the refugees ran wildly across the bridge, but that some of them were hit by shrapnel. The big gun was finally knocked out by allied jets, Huntley said. While South Vietnamese troops in Quang Tri City reported little opposition from the Communists, government marines guarding the force's flanks reported two sharp clashes with the North Vietnamese. The U.S.

command said its fighter-bomber raids over North Vietnam concentrated on three military targets within four miles of the center of Hanoi. It said no civilian targets were bombed in the raids. FIVE OTHER strikes were reported within 40 miles of Hanoi by U.S. Air Force and Navy jets, all of them against military targets, the command said. the start of the match until Tuesday when Fischer, holding out for more money, failed to appear for the scheduled opening Sunday.

Fischer. 29, the challenger, finally arrived early Tuesday after a chess-playing 1 1 financier doubled the prize to $250,000. With Fischer still resting up for the opening match Tuesday afternoon, Spassky, 35, arrived at a meeting called to draw lots for the right to make the first play, threw down a statement saying that Fischer "must bear just penalty" for his behavior and walked out. THE MATCH was delayed a second time until Thursday. Fischer's associates talked for hours to Spassky's associates without reaching an agreement and the Russians refused to meet again Wednesday, the Americans said.

When chess sources reported Spassky had demanded an apology from Fischer, Fred Cramer of the U.S. Chess Federation said. "I cannot see Fischer apologizing." But Fischer did. The apology was read by the Rev. William J.

I.ombardy, a New York priest who is one of the 10 American chess grandmasters and is acting as Fischer's second. "WE ARE sorry that the world championships were delayed," it said. "The problems causing the delays were not with World Champion Spassky who I respect as a player and a man. "If Grandmaster Spassky or the Soviet people were inconvenienced or discomforted I am indeed unhappy for I had not the slightest intention of this occurring," the statement said.

No such document has yet been presented to the Russian world champion, but Dr. Euwe said he was satisfied that it would be forthcoming. FISCHER PRESENTED an apology of sorts Wednesday when he broke his silence with a statement regretting the delay of the match. Fischer said it was not Spassky's fault that the match had been delayed and said he "respected grandmaster Spassky as a player and man." Russian officials said the state ment was expected to satisfy Spassky if delivered to him with Fischer's signature attached. Dr.

Euwe already fulfilled two other Soviet demands Wednesday night when he issued a condemnation of Fischer's behavior in failing to turn up in time and also admitted that he himself had violated the FIDE rules by granting a postponement of the first match. EUWE SAID the Russians made their demand in a cable citing paragraph 5 of the so-called Amsterdam Agreement for the match in which both sides agreed that a player still missing after one hour of game time has expired forfeits the game and point to his opponent. "The Russians did not object Sunday when I postponed the game and now I cannot make such a ruling" Euwe said. He had delayed From Paige I refused comment on the report. UPI REPORTER Chad Huntley, accompanying the paratroop and tank force at Qtiang Tri, said bottle of champagne was strapped to one soldier's rucksack and another carried a red and gold South Vietnamese flag to run up over the citalel when it is captured.

The North Vietnamese capture of Quang Tri Province and its capital was the biggest victory of their three-month-old offensive which began March 30. South Vietnam launched its drive to recapture its northernmost province June 28 when 20,000 paratroopers, marines, militiamen, infantrymen and tank crews moved across the My Chan river 12 miles south of Quang Tri City. THE CITY had a population of 25,000 before falling to the Com-munists. Much of it was destroyed by North Vietnamese shelling attacks prior to the fall. The rest of the city was heavily damaged by U.S.

air and naval bombardment before the South Vietnamese drive. Both sides, however, generally avoided hitting the historic citadel. "The city's levelled," govern- ment paratroops radioed back when they first landed. "There are no buildings left standing. Everything is wrecked." Many of the few thousand resi Ft.

Testing Of Car Exhaust Starts In New Jersey Modernage makes a huge special buy to bring you EXTRA value now in "Serta" quilted bedding! Firm innerspring with foam quilted sleep surface, specially low priced now at just 2fut tfurk Gun a Dispatch To The Sentinel WAYNE, N.J. New Jersey Wednesday became the first state to begin routine inspection of automobile exhaust systems in an effort to reduce levels of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons in the atmosphere.

The 30-second examination, which involves placing a metal probe in a car's tailpipe to obtain readings of the emission levels when the engine is idling, was given to all cars at the Wayne and Merchantville i ections stations and will become part of the inspection routine by Sept. 25. ALTHOUGH ALL CARS will be given the test as the sophisticated infra-red a i nes are installed, 1 i a nee with state emission standards will not become mandatory until July 1, 1973. Motorists whose cars do not meet the standards before that date will be advised and asked to make needed adjustments and repairs and come back for a a i nation on a voluntary basis. The state is interested in the months ahead to learn how ef ficient corrective procedures are and how much they will cost the motorist.

"WE ON'T WANT people to leave a station needing a $5 adjustment and wind up paying for an overhaul," said Robert W. McMinn, deputy state motor vehicle director, who watched the initial testing operation. The state borrowed 400 cars from motorists going through inspection lanes last year to see what could be done to reduce emissions without getting into major repair work. Some of the cars were worked on by state mechanics; others were farmed out to commercial garages and service stations. The cooperating motorists were given 1 a cement cars until their vehicles were returned.

"WE FOUND the average cost of making needed improvements was $22 per car," McMinn said. The allowable emission standards represent a compromise between what environmentalists wanted and what motorists would stand for. "We must have done a good job," McMinn said, "we pleased nobody." tt i I MATTRESS AND BOX SPRING FULL OR TWIN SIZE Nader Criticism Hit By Australian Chief i i Soften jrr N1 FIRM -For relaxing healthful sleep night FIRM For relaxing healthful sleep BEAUTIFUL Durable woven cover THICK INSULATION FOR extra comfort, Fresherizer to resist mildew and odor 8 AIR VENTS for a fresh mattress MATCHING BOX SPRING Scientifically designed MADE BY famous SERTA fine bedding manufacturers for over 60 years. after night QUILTED No buttons no tufts for comfortable sleep night after night PRE-BUILT BORDER For a smart tailored look for edge-to-edge comfort HEAVY GAUGE HOUR GLASS coil unit for firmness SPECIAL!

"He has been here for 24 hours and he has set himself up as a judge of Australia without a proper knowledge of the country and its people," McMahon said at an impromptu press conference here shortly before meeting Nader. "Mr.

Nader will be paid the normal courtesies as a visitor but an Australian who went to America and started the same criticisms as he has done here would not be well received," the prime minister said. McMahon said he would not be swayed by anything Nader said. Later, the prime minister held an hour and a half meeting with Nader, who is a brief lecture tour of Australia and New Zealand. The prime minister was understood to have given Nader an outline of a draft consumer ordinance which will be promulgated soon in the federally-administered Australian capital territory and the northern territory. The ordinance concerns THURSDAY AND FRIDAY 10 'TIL 9:30 USE OUR EXTENDED PAYMENT PLANS, YOUR MASTER CHARGE OR BANKAMERICARD No charge for delivery or service RALPH NADER Criticized overseas the establishment of a two-tier consumer protection body.
