Musing and muttering over the news Imagine! Chess getting front page space in American newspapersand for NOT being played, yet, in Reykjavik! But that off-and-on world title match between our Bobby Fischer and Russia's Boris Spassky has all the elements of news international competition, suspense, big cash pot, human contrariness. Everything but the pretty girl, and don't bet one of them won't get into the act before it ends. Some will sneer that newsmen are accentuating the neg-a i here. But reader demands make news, not newsmen. They only know what folks want to read (or we suppose we do.) Anyway, this U.S.-U.S.S.R.

standoff makes more sense than most of the diplomatic impasses we've had with them for the past quarter century. It would be odd if an obscure chess player should turn out to be the one American who could beat them at their waiting game.

"Talk of punishment of the Democratic party is irresponsible and can't be tolerated," Chestnut said, reacting to the Stearns comments which seem to be part of an effort by some McGovern aides to convince party leaders that denial of the nomination to the front-running South Dakota senator would split the party.

U.S. District Court Judge George Hart refused Monday to overturn Democratic Credentials Committee decisions ousting 151 McGovern delegates from California and 59 uncommitted delegates from Dlinois headed by Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley.

Frank Mankiewicz, Mc-Govern's national political director, said on the CBS radio program "Capitol Cloakroom" there is still hope the competing Illinois delegations can reach a compromise "and that something can be worked out seating them both." In this sweltering convention center, meanwhile, the City Council planned to reconsider today whether it will reverse a decision against granting campsites for the young nonde-legates expected in Miami (Continued on Page 11) Bobby Fischer to corner? both players would be ready to meet on Thursday. Fischer arrived in Reykjavik early Tuesday. The Icelandic (Continued on Page 11) By The Associated Press Consumers warned by supermarket officials to expect higher meat prices are finding the warning all too true. An Associated Press survey of about two dozen cities shows that grocery bills particularly for the better cuts of beef and for pork have increased anywhere from a dime a pound on up in the two weeks since the latest warning was issued. Cabinet officials scheduled a meeting in Washington today with officials of food chains and called in farmers for a Thursday session to help in preparing a food prices report that President Nixon has requested by July 10.

"The food prices are just terrible now," said a woman in a Seattle, supermarket. "Prices are out of sight," said a man in a Kansas City store. Supermarket executives warned consumers on June 16 to expect a rise in prices, particularly of meat. They said that wholesale costs have been going up and the retail outlets no longer could absorb the increase. The AP checked prices in a dozen cities on June 16, then checked again two weeks later to see if there had been any change.

Among the findings: In Seattle, the prices of 10 items were checked. Five went up, one went down and four remained steady. Increases included veal round steak, which went from $2.25 to $2.39 a pound, and rib pork chops, up two cents to $1.09 a pound. Stable items included peanut butter crackers, fruit juices, cheese, mayonnaise, butter and milk. In the Chicago suburb of LaGrange Park, pork loin end cut went from 79 to 85 cents a pound and jumbo eggs increased from 59 to 65 cents a dozen.

Sirloin steak dropped from $1.59 to $1.39 cents a pound, but the manager said the decrease was temporary, due to a holiday special. In Los Angeles, ground beef went from 73 to 78 cents a pound, sirloin tip steak from $1.49 to $1.67 a pound and a Swiss steak TV dinner from 63 to 67 cents. Items that were unchanged included round steak, chicken legs, russet potatoes, lettuce, onions, liquid cleaner and aluminum foil. Hue Is Shelled Again SAIGON (AP) American jets wrecked three major depots on the edges of Hanoi Tuesday in the heaviest raids on North Vietnam in weeks, and a 7th Fleet task force sank or damaged 12 supply barges off the North Vietnamese coast, the U.S. Command announced today.

In South Vietnam there was heavy fighting on the northern front and Hue was shelled for the fourth day. But no progress was reported from the paratroopers who reached the outskirts of Quang Tri i on Tuesday. NORTH VIETNAM claimed that U.S. planes bombed and strafed residential areas of Hanoi, "killing or injuring many persons, and destroying or damaging hundreds of dwelling houses." The U.S. Command denied ordering any attacks on civilian targets and said it had no information "indicating other than military targets were hit." But spokesmen acknowledged there may have been people working in the three supply and vehicle depots that were attacked during more than 320 strikes in North Vietnam Tuesday.

North Vietnam also claimed that two F4 Phantoms were shot down during the raids. The U.S. Command said it had no plane losses Tuesday to report yet. But it did announce that MIG21 interceptors shot down a pair of Phantoms southwest of Hanoi on June 27 and a surface-to-air missile brought down a third Phantom 40 miles northeast of Hanoi July 1. Two of the fliers were rescued, and four are missing, the command said.

DURING THE last two weeks, the U.S. Command has reported nine planes lost over North Vietnam and 16 fliers missing, raising the toll since the resumption of full-scale bombing on April 6 to 54 aircraft downed and 61 airmen missing. Radio Hanoi has said that many of the pilots have been captured and last week broadcast messages from 14 of them. The U.S. Command said the raiders Tuesday destroyed or damaged numerous trucks.

trailers and large stacks of supplies at the Quinh Loi depot three miles southeast of the center of Hanoi. At the Hanoi military vehicle depot, four miles south of the center of the city, laser bombs destroyed a maintenance building, five storage buildings and six trucks, the command reported. It said 12 more storage buildings were damaged.

This resort town of 1,800 has two mayors, two police chiefs, an angry wife, a court challenge and an impending showdown. The mixup is the result of an April 3 election in which W. Allen Hendrix defeated incumbent Mayor Michael J. Couni-han by four votes. Couni-han, however, challenged 90 votes in a superior court suit.

Counihan said his attorney told him until the court acts on the case he still is mayor. Consequently, when Hendrix went to assume office Monday he found City Hall locked up. Hendrix got a notary public to swear him in on the City Hall steps. Then, using what he called the authority of the city charter, he fired Police Chief John Price and appointed Law-ton Daley as acting police chief. He claimed Price was "too involved in politics." Several minutes later, while talking with friends, Hendrix was approached by Price's wife.

Witnesses said she called Hendrix a choice name and slapped him in the face. "She knocked the devil out of me," said Hendrix. But he added he could understand her anger since the controversy involves her husband. First Chess Match Move Now Is Set for Thursday Japanese Choose Man With REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) The world championship chess match between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky now is scheduled to start Thursday afternoon following another psotponement, this one demanded by the Soviet champion. After holding out for more money and getting it.

the American challenger came to Iceland for the postponed opening match Tuesday. But Spassky walked out of the noon drawing to decide who would move first because Fischer was not present. He had sent his second, a Roman Catholic priest. Officials announced a new 48-hour postponement of the opener, originally scheduled for last Sunday. They hoped TOKYO (AP) Japan's ruling conservatives today named Kakuei Tanaka, a dynamic rags-to-riches construction man turned politician, to be prime minister with a mandate for bold new approaches to the United States and China.

The Liberal-Democratic Party in effect turned its back on the cautious establishment politics of Prime Minister Ei-saku Sato, who is retiring at 71. It decisively rejected the bid of his protege, 67-year-old Foreign Minister Takeo Fuku-da, to succeed him. Tanaka. at 54 the youngest prime minister since 1945, won the party presidency and with it leadership of the government at a convention of the party's members in the Diet, the Japanese parliament. The Hostage Gives Up BUFFALO, N.Y.

(AP) A man who held a young girl at knife point in an apparent attempt to hijack an American Airlines 707 at Buffalo International Airport surrendered to an FBI agent early today. "He apparently decided he was not going to get out" of the airport, said Richard Ash, special agent in charge of the FBI office here. "If there's no shooting, I'll come out," Ash quoted the man as saying moments before he emerged from the aircraft carrying his hostage, who appeared to be 2 or 3 years old. Ash said an FBI agent had sneaked aboard the plane and (Continued on Page 11 Kakuei Tanaka rags to riches vote on the second runoff ballot was 282-190, with four blank votes. The Diet will meet Thursday Tanafca to confirm Tanaka as prime minister for a three-year term, a formality since the party has a sizable majority in both houses.

He is expected to announce his cabinet on Friday. Tanaka's victory resulted from growing restlessness within the party over Sato's inability to cope with the problems of China, the United States and mounting domestic difficulties. Little change would have been expected had Fukuda been chosen. The leaders of two powerful factions in the party who also ran, former Foreign Ministers Takeo Miki and Masayoshi Ohira. stood out for change.

When they were knocked out on the first ballot, they threw their support by advance agreement to Tanaka. Tanaka made a brief, restrained acceptance speech stressing that unity of the party must continue.

"I went to a nostalgia convention not long ago and all these prominent men came up to me and told me what an inspiration Superman had been to mem when they were growing up." He says he first tried to joke about Superman, but found his audiences didn't like anyone making fun of their hero. "SO I CUT OUT the kidding," he says. "They wanted me to be like the Superman they remembered on the Saturday afternoon matinee." Superman made his comicstrip debut in 1938, and Columbia Pictures decided to make a movie serial in 1948. "They had trouble getting someone with a good build who could read lines," Alyn says, "so in desperation they called me." He says the producer and casting director had him come into their office and asked him to take off his shirt Then they asked him to take off his pants.

LOS ANGELES (AP) When Kirk Alyn hung up his Superman suit it was like a dose of Kryptonite for his acting career. A studio head told him: "Everybody thinks you're Superman, Kirk. They wouldn't believe you in any other part." Alyn, who played Superman in movie serials from 1948 to 1951, went to New York and searched unsuccessfully for stage roles. "I couldn't walk two blocks without people recognizing me," he says. "They'd honk their horns and yell 'Hi ya, Alyn was so upset over what playing Superman had done to his career that he turned down the television role of Superman in 1952.

That role was taken by the late George Reeves. During the 1950s and '60s Alyn lived in California and settled for doing televisioncommer-cials. But now with the nostalgia craze, Superman is once again in demand. "I still can't believe it, but suddenly I'm in big demand as a speaker," says Alyn, 61. "Nos "Wait a minute," Alyn said, "I thought this only happened to actresses." The men explained that Superman had to wear tights and they wanted to see if he had good-looking legs.

An athletic 6-2 and 195 pounds, Alyn found the series tough because the writers assumed he could do Superman stunts, and he had to dive out windows (onto mattresses) and vault over cameras as if taking off. Before the studio decided to use trick photography, Superman "flew" by means of a metal harness and steel wires. the first rushes you could see the wires plain as day," Alyn says. "The producer fired the whole technical crew on the spot. "I never intended to make more than one Superman series," he says.

"But it was such a success that I kept on making them. "Playing Superman ruined my acting career and I've been bitter for many years about the whole thing," Alyn says.
