A Thursday, A A A a (AP)- Heeding warnings that thousands of persons could die stacked up around escape routes if a major hurricane slainmed ashore at Miami Beach, federal officials say they are planning use of high- rise buildings as emergency shelters. E. V. W. "Eddie" Jones, information officer of the U.S.

Office of Emergency Preparedness at Miami, made copies of a report on use of high-rise buildings for hurricane shelters a a i a Tuesday at a news conference on efforts to provide reliel from the effects of Hurricane Agnes. He said the study was conducted by the federal executive board in Miami as a result of warnings by Dr Robert Simpson, National i a Center director that major coastal metropolitan areas have grown too big to evacuate residents in the face f. of major hurricanes. "It is inescapable that in a least some locations we shal soon reach the point where evacuation in the face of an ex treme hurricane in accordance with existing procedures wil find tens of thousands of peopi stranded on the highways in a fantastic traffic jam, unable ti return home or reach safi shelter as hurricane winds am tides overtake them," Simpson said. "Such a situation could lea to the loss of thousands or, i the estimation of some, tens thousands of lives.

I submit th 'laiined For Hurricanes nation cannot afford this risk." Studying Miami Beach, an island city offering a limited number of escape routes, Jones said the committee concluded that high-rises offered the best possibility of escape from major hurricanes like Camille, which devastaged the Mississippi Gulf Coast three years ago. "They may be frightened sitting in a stairway, they may be cut by flying glass, but when he storm surge subsides and they can go home again they'll still be alive," Jones said. Ik said shelter would be provided in the stairwells and Tall ways of high-rises such as hotels, condominiums and office buildings. On Miami Beach, at least, Jones said a ligh rise refuge would be within 30 minutes of every resident. The unanswered question at this point, he said, is what would happen if the owners of high-rise buildings refused to cooperate in a hurricane shelter program.

Flooded River Brings New Fear To Family EDITOR'S NOTE-Nowhere did storm Agnes wreck more destruction than in Wilkes- 8arre, Pa. Among those who suffered there, who knew fear and fatigue and the anxiety of separation, was the Bugbee amily. Their experience re- lects the anguish of thousands the day the Susquehanna went mad. By RICHARD E. MEYER AP Newsfeatures Writer WILKES-BARRE, Pa.

A At 5 20 a the phone rang. It was John Bugbee's mother- in-law: "John, you'd better get to work. The situation is bad." John's wife, Joann rolled over in bed and opened her sleepy blue eyes. "I'm going to get up too," she mumbled. The kids-- Mark, 5, and Lisa, 6-were still asleep.

John Bugbee, 25, his wife. Joann, 24, and their German hepherd, Rommel, walked ut the door of their maple- laneled, three-story Tudor louse, went less than half a lock down Union Street, rossed the North River Common and scrambled up the dike. As usual, Rommel raced ahead, over the velvet lawn on the common, between the old Elms and the Japanese cherry trees, through the geraniums and marigolds, and up the embankment. Two men stood on top. "Don't run too fast," one warned.

There, less than a foot rom the top, was the Susque- lanna, the lazy, meandering Susquehanna, swollen to proportions the Bugbees had never seen. Before the day was out, John and Joann Bugbee would join thousands of their fellow townspeople in a futile fight for WIND BRACED -STEEL POINT BEARING COST-FREE COOLING 2-12" WB 50 $52 INSTALLED Aluminum Painted Galvanized Sted JJ AIR CONDITIONING 707 W.

The Susquehanna would breach its dikes and lay waste to Wilkes- Barre, making it one of the hardest hit cities in the most extensive flood in American listory. But at that moment in the reluctant dawn, as they looked down into the river which had turned the color of coffee with too much cream, John and Joann Bugbee didn't dream it would come to that.

They knew it had been rain ing since Monday--almost without letup--thanks to a tropical storm called Agnes and this was Friday. The Pocono Mountains were soaked and the ground was ful of water. Feeder streams, lik Toby's Creek and Solomon Creek, were rushing down both of the Wyoming Valle dumping their burdens muck and debris into the Susquehanna. RAPT ATTENTION is accorded Sen.

NEW YORK A ional aspects of the Fischer- Spassky world championship chess match are becoming as mportant as they are in any big league sport. Chess matches are not usually world happenings. But with the keen interest sparked by American Bobby Fischer challenging Russian Boris Spassky for the world title, it's a different situation. The Icelandic Chess Federation has put up close to $200,000 for the 24-game match, to be held for two months in Reykjavik, Iceland, starting July The games will be played in the a i Sportshall.

which seats about 3,000 people. The match will be open to the public, and tickets will cost $5 a game or $75 for the 24 games. Of the $200,000 put up, some $125,000 will be paid in prizes to the players, according to the federation. Fischer, 29, and Spassky, 35, will also divide 60 per cent oi the income from films anc television. The federation has signed 99-year contract with Chester Fox and Inc.

for exclusive worldwide visual rights, in eluding rights to film the match and still photos of the match taken inside the Sportshall. In the United States, ABC has contracted for exclusive film rights. The Fox film segments will be shown Saturdays on the A1JC program. "Wide of Sports." In the United Slates. Channel 13-WNDT, New York, and 1'eleprompler Cable T.V.

have planned programs discussing he action at the match, without the use of the Fox film. Channel 13 plans a muve-by- nove commentary and analysis on the match, by chess master Shelby I.yman, who will work from a studio in Albany, N.Y., using vertical boards to illustrate the moves. The extensive coverage would start Sunday, July 2 and run from 1 p.m. to p.m.. nationally.

It would continue three times a week throughout the match, i shorter broadcasts Tuesday and Thursday for cities on the Eastern Seaboard. Two-thirds of Mexico's total area is occupied by mountains. Houston Seeks Sewage Grant HOUSTON A City of Hijuston will seek a $1.4 million federal grant to update the i i Sewage Disposal Plant to bring it up lo state standards. Mayor Umic Welch said Tuesday. The city was summoned to Austin Tuesday for a hearing before the Texas a Quality Board on the operation jf the plant, which dumps inio the Houston Ship Channel.

The pollution output at the Northside and the Sims Bayou plant in March of this year was more than twice the limit set Ijy state and federal officials for all industries and sewage plants using the channel. Welch said last week better operation of the two plants could reduce the pollution but the final solution lies in upgrading both of lliL-m. The federal grant the city is seeking would pay for 55 cent of the work needed at the Northside plant.
