Memories Long, Some Bitter On Other Side Of Death Row i -('' 'v 1 1 "If 4 1 i tr PHILLIP AND JOSEPHINE MALANDRINO AT HOME keep remembering their slain daughter Enemy Shells, Weather Slows Counterof ensive Fort Lauderdale Newt and Sun-Sentinel 2A Sunday, July 2, 1972 Chess Match Fischer Requests A Delay Tin Associated Priu REYKJAVIK, Iceland-Bobby Fischer's lawyer has asked to postpone the start of today's world championship chess match until Tuesday, but neither the match referee nor the organizers appeared willing to grant the request. Lothar Schmidt of Germany, the chief referee, said early today he didn't recognize the legitimacy of the request made by Andrew Davis, Fischer's lawyer, Schmidt said Davis carried no written credentials authorizing him to act in the American grandmaster's name. But Schmidt said something might be worked out if Fischer shows up on time for the scheduled start of his match with world champion Boris Spassky of Russia. The likelihood that the tern-permental American challenger would appear in time for the scheduled 1 p.m. EDT start of the first game of the 24-game match appeared dim, however.

Fischer failed to board the last scheduled commercial airline flight that could have taken him from New York to Iceland for the start of the world's richest chess match, The Icelandic Airlines plane departed without Fischer, and as airline spokesman said the next flight to Reykjavik would: be 7:30 p.m. EDT 6V? hours after the game was to start." There was some speculation, however, that the 29-year-old grandmaster might have taken a flight to another European city, planning to proceed on to Iceland from there. "If he's on the plane," Schmidt said, "perhaps we can arrange something if the Icelandic Chess Federation and the Russians agree. If not, there will be a problem." The problem could be that Schmidt would decide that Fischer had to forfeit his chances to contend for the title. Confusion and delay have been delayed by Fischers' last minute demands for money above and beyond the prizes he agreed on months ago.

Gudmunder Thorarinson, president of the Icelandic federation, organizing the match, said, "As far as I'm concerned, the match will begin on Sundav." Phillips is sorry to see the death penalty go. He thinks it could serve as a deterrent to crime. But this, of -course, does not bring back his daughter. The hurt remains. "For a while there, you were expecting her back.

She left and you didn't see her from that day on. Every now and then, you find yourself thinking, 'Gee, she's just away on a trip and she's coming Then you catch yourself and you close it out of your mind." 1 HURT DRAGS ON 1 For Rose Campbell Barth, the hurt has dragged' over 11 years. On May 12, 1961, she was Rose Campbell and her husband, Benjamin, 44, was working in his grocery store on the corner of NW Fifth Street and Sec- ondAvenue. John Henry Roberts, then 21 and on probation for aggravated assault, got a .25 caliber pistol out of hock that day. He gave it to John Adderly, a 32-year-old man with seven children and one more on the way.

It was supposed to be a fast, simple stick up. But Campbell resisted when they demanded the money. He lunged for Adderly, who had the gun. The pistol went off and Campbell died. Adderly's cut of the $150, reportedly, was $40.

He later said he turned it over to his wife. His eighth child was born two days after he arrived at Raiford. Police recovered the money but Mrs. Campbell, who had two children of her own, never saw it. It remains, even today, in an evidence bag on some back shelf.

As long as an appeal is pending; as long as Adderly and Roberts remain in jail with a final decision unresolved, the money will be held as property of the state. JUST BE DONE WITH IT To this day, Rose Barth cannot speak of her husband with dry ves. When she does talk, it is softly, slowly, as if she conversing with herself. i "I've gone through so much, I just want it to be settled and done with," she said. Her dark eyes filled and she blinked hard, "I've been living too long in the past." Then she smiled, a tiny, forced grin.

"I've weathered the storms. I've got two beautiful children and that's all that's important." After Campbell diedRose sold the store. She took in ironing and alterations to support herself and her children, a boy and a girl now 20 and 21. She stayed in the small, white, stucco house in southwest Fort Lauderdale-and lives there still with' Roy dan Barth, whom she married last year. She voices few thoughts on capital punishment beyond, "What the jury decided should be." Her son, George, did not agree with the death penalty but admitted he had never given it much thought.

RELUCTANT TO TALK Even less vocal is the young rape victim from Hollywood. On June 10, 1967 she was babysitting in Hollywood Hills when Andrew James Roseman, then 23, walked in through the unlocked front door and grabbed her around the neck as she watched TV. He threw a blanket over her head, put a gun to her side and forced her to the i floor before raping her. She was 16. Roseman left with a fistful of jewelry.

He later told police that he had been hexed some time back and voices told him to attack the girl. He spent four years' in mental hospitals before finally coming to trial last October. The jury deliberated one hour and sentenced him to death. i r)ri Both the girl and her family are reluctant to talk: about the incident. But apparently, they do not believe in capital punishment.

't "I wouldn't say I would want anybody to be killed," the girl's mother said. "I feel in my own mind that's up to God to kill someone, not us." (Continued from Page 1A) off in a car for New Jersey. At the Fort Drum Plaza of the state turnpike, the car broke down. A helpful chap, the pale, red haired Sylvian Bishop, then 18, offered a ride to town. f' BODIES FOUND LATER girls bodies were found two weeks later.

It took the jury two hours to find Bishop guilty and sentence him to death. Today! Phillip Malandrino, 45, drives a cab. His wife is a His son, 18, still lives at home and is having trouble holding a job. His other daughter, 16, has been married a year, i The Malandrinos are a troubled family. Their problems did not begin with the death of Kathy but her murder seemed to be a final blow.

Malandrino says, "I'm with the cab company be cause I can't take any job with responsibility. I'm not functioning as I should," Malandrino is a beefy, good looking man with olive skin and ink black hair combed straight back. Worry lines etch deeply through his face. The last two years have added at least 30 pounds. He sits, now, at his dining room table sipping coffee laced with gin.

I DRINKS EVERY NIGHT "Every night I have to drink," he says. "I hate to appear to be a weak person but I have to drink. I just lay there. I just can't get her out of my mind." He still hasn't been to the cemetery. He bemoans the fact that he's lost contact with' his son.

"Maybe he blames me for his sister," he says, his eyes shimmering. His voice trails off, "I just don't know. Ask Malandrino about whether he' thinks Bishop should die for the murder of his daughter and the an- swer is yes. But for the anonymous mass of other for- merly condemned men, he's not so sure. Malandrino mused, "If they can give you an alternate where the person who committed a crime would pay, by working through the penal system to compensate the family, then I would say there's a rational reason for allowing him to live." Either way, he's sure about one thing: Sylvian Bishop should never be paroled.

For Randolph Phillips, 48, the past two years have been easier. His remaining daughter, Margie, is living with an uncle in Pennsylvania. But both girls remain a i part of the Phillips, home in Miramar. Margie's paintings cover the walls. Photos of the two girls are scattered on shelves.

FEELS COMPASSION Phillips can find it in his heart to fee! compassion for a convicted murderer. He believes a person can get desperate enough to rob, then accidentally kill. These are not the people he would see jailed for life. "If your family doesn't have anything to eat, you've got to go get that money some Way. And if there's no other way, you're going to take a gun to a store and you're going hrrob for a small amount of money to get your family something to eat." This, Phillips says, "is mainly a desperate situation where a man's trying to get something for his family.

I lean see putting a man away and trying to rehabilitate him and eventually letting him HTM AWAY" "But if he goes back a second time, there's only one thing to do. Like you would with a mad dog. Put him As for Bishop, Phillips has no doubt. "This guy had no motive whatsoever other than he wanted to hurt his family. This is just sadistic.

In his case, they should put him away for good." after dawn today. There was no immediate report on casualties. The shelling was the first against the former imperial capital since the North Vietnamese offensive began three months ago. Hue has been considered by allied officers a primary target of the offensive. The South Vietnamese para-troops three miles from Quang Tri City were part of the drive to retake the occupied province of Quang Tri.

A major battle was expected against North Vietnamese forces dug in on the southern outskirts of the city. Associated Press corre spondent Holger Jensen reported from the front that the advance by 20,000 South Vietnamese troops was slowed by heavy rains that flooded river fords and held up supply and ammunition vehicles. Associated Press correspondent Dennis Neeld, with South Vietnamese Marines pushing toward Quang Tri east of the airborne troops, said that the marine drive is about a day behind schedule. Brig. Gen.

But The Lan, the marine commandant, said North Vietnamese shelling of the marines' eight-mile front east of the city, was the biggest obstatcle his forces have faced so far. Tht AiHCliM tnu SAIGON Enemy shell fire and bad weather broke the momentum of the South Vietnamese counteroffensive on the northern front yesterday, field reports said. North Vietnamese gunners also attacked below the front at Hue for the first time in the cur-rent enemy offensive. As South Vietnamese troops held ground within three miles of enemy occupied Quang Tri City, a general said shelling to -the east was the worst obstacle the counteroffensive had met. To the south, more than 30 rounds of heavy shells or rockets landed within Hue just Is Chris In Love Match?

i "She hasn't said anything about it to me," he said. "I don't bring those things up. I would think it's been blown up, but Chris has got to realize that when she's in public, she's in the limelight. Ahougb Chris and Connors say they met 12 days ago, the Connors family and the Evert family are good friends. Jim Evert and Connors' father were classmates at Notre Dame.

"I've known the family for years," said Evert. "I think it's interesting that Chris and Jim have gone out. It's been great re laxation for her. He even hits with her before matches to warm up." But as far as any romance goes, Evert remains aloof. "This is her private life," he said.

"She handles it very well. She dates' a boy here at home and she's always been good about the hours she keeps." v. Several phone calls to London last' night, however, proved futile. In an attempt to confirm or refute the story, the News tried to reach Miss Evert. She was, however, not in her room and not expected until midnight, London time.

Of course there is a chance that she was out with the girls. i 1 John Bows To Martha's Ultimatum Shoivers 1 Site, jJt Two Killed In Belfast Data From NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICB, NOAA, U.S. Dept. ol Commerce United Press International BELFAST Gunmen killed two civilians, wounded four others and shot at British soldiers and each other yesterday in the worst eruption of violence in Northern Ire- tha naoea fira fma (Continued from Page 1A) cision to leave him unless he abandoned politics and "all those dirty things that go on" in the political world. Reached by telephone the same day, Mitchell said his wife's decision was "news to me," but he left on Monday for Rye after a conference with the President.

He and Mrs. Mitchell remained at the club for three days in seclusion. Mitchell then returned to Washington and disclosed his decision to the President at the White House.

Nixon has supported colleagues of lesser stature and prominence than Mitchell during periods of personal or official difficulty, and sources close to him insisted that he had left the decision to his former attorney general. i Judging both by his letter to the President and the private testimony of his friends, Mit-.

chell's decision was based largely on a deep conviction that to do otherwise might well risk the future of his marriage and would almost certainly contribute little to the serenity of his wife, a col- orful personality in an other wise somber Republican ad-', ministration, who harbors strong emotional views on people and issues and has displayed few inhibitions about revealing them.

The 20 per cent boost brings to 45 per cent the increases granted within three years and since each increase was applied to benefits already raised, the over-all cash increase runs to well over 50 per cent. New tables have yet to be released by the Social Security Administration but some average figures have beei rcsde available. higher, than these figures. The actual benefits are based on the number of years worked and on the salary on which the Social Security taxes were paid during those years. Commissioner of Social Security Robert M.

Nixon had sought to head off the 20 per cent Social Security rider, attached," under the sponsorship of Frank, Church, D-Idaho. Republicans wanted to cut the increase to 10 per cent and accused Democrats of playing politics. But it passed by 82-4 in the Senate and 302-3S in the House. Nixon said that the measure was not fully funded and imposes considerable additional tax burdens on all wage-earners. But he said he had given his approval because of "my deep concern for the well-being of our older Ameri-: cans.

FLOOD RELIEF The Social Security provisions also provide for future automatic increases linked to cost-of-living rises. And it includes prompt tax refunds for those who suffered from the Hurricane Agnes and. South Dakota flood disasters.

Nixon hailed both of these features. He said the automatic cost-of-living increase "constitutes a major breakthrough for older Americans" by providing a hedge against inflation, which he says he has long urged. Nixon signed a batch of more than 16 bills before his departure, several of them directed to providing disaster relief and additional benefits for veterans. He approved bills to: Provide up to 13 extra weeks of unemployment compensation for workers who have exhausted their benefits. It particularly affects states where unemployment remains high.
