Plover volunteer firemen, assisted by Forest Ranger William Peterson, responded to the call at about 4:45 p.m. Thursday. The building is owned by Eva Pierce, Roosevelt Road, Plover, and is located off Business Highway 51 about two blocks south of the Green Bay and Western Railroad crossing.

Just the opposite has been suggested by some witnesses who preceded James P. Dodd, president of the Softlens Division, in hearings of the Small Business subcommittee on government regulation. Dodd said the lens "repre- sents a major advance over conventional methods of vision correction, but it is not pur- ported to be a panacea, nor is it suitable for all patients with vision defects." Bausch Lomb is the only company with federal Food and Drug Administration approval to sell a soft lens to the public and, as such, has watched its stock prices rise and fall with publicity about the lens. stock rose from $45 to $160 at Spassky Gets First Move On Tuesday REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Bobby Fischer lost the draw Thursday night, giving Boris Spassky the first move, and the world championship chess match will finally start next Tuesday. Unless the American challenger or the Soviet champion pleads illness and gets another postponement.

The confusion of the past week was summarized by the old woman selling cigarettes who asked in the beginning: "Fischer come?" 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. Cold Remedy $1 Billion MILWAUKEE (AP) Wisconsin may export more than $1' billion in agricultural and manufactured goods this year for the first time in its history, a Commerce Department spokesman says.

Russell H. Leitch, a trade specialist for the department, said the flow of Wisconsin goods abroad could improve the state's rating as No. 12 in export volume. The state was ninth in 1966, then dropped to 12th in 1969 amid the nation's economic slowdown. Leitch said new figures on the state export rankings are not to be released until next year.

During the same period, many Wisconsin firms have been involved in corporate acquisitions. This should be beneficial for Wisconsin, Leitch said in a talk Thursday for a Fontana and Williams Bay civic club. Past export performances, coupled with comparisons of manufacturing exports, indicate export business will be worth $1 billion, he said. The state's exports increased 27 per cent from 1966-69 while the U.S. figure rose 37 per cent.

In 1969, the state exported 4.4 per cent of its shipments compared with a national output of 4.5 per cent. In 1966, the Wisconsin figure was 4.1 per cent and the national figure 3.9 per cent. Wisconsin was passed in the 1969 rankings by Washington, Indiana and Massachusetts. Leitch said Indiana industry spent $4.24 billion on capital expenditures from 1966-69 while Wisconsin firms spent $1.93 billion. only Aide Files Slander Suit LOS ANGELES (AP) lionaire industrialist Howard Hughes is accused in a $51 mil- lion damage suit of slandering luclll licil ilia oo-jrcai -uiu biographer and former aide.

It was the second slander suit filed as the result of a televised news conference last January in which a voice identified as Hughes said of an associate: "He's a no-good, dishonest son-of-a-bitch and he stole me blind." Dietrich's suit, filed Thursday in Superior Court, alleged that Hughes made the statement about another associate and likened Dietrich to that individual. In February, Robert A. mu us- m.i.j.Ui Maheu, who was fired by Hughes as the head of Hughes' Nevada gambling and hotel empire, filed a $17.5 million libel and slander suit claiming the statement referred to him. Also named as defendants were Hughes Tool parent organization of the Hughes empire; the public relations firm of Carl Byoir Associates; and Richard Hannah, a Byoir account executive. Hannah said there would be no comment because he had not seen the suit.

The public relations firm arranged the February conference with seven newsmen in Los Angeles while Hughes was in the Bahamas. Dietrich asked that the defendants pay $1 million in general damages and $50 million in punitive damages "or a greater amount according to the proof of his wealth." Dietrich's suit said Hughes is a resident of Los Angeles County and "has been living in various parts of the Western Hemisphere for the past 15 years for the purpose of avoiding service of court process." Hughes Tool Co. officials say the billionaire is now living in a hotel suite in Vancouver, B.C. Bancroft Man Guilty Of Battery Larry Meddaugh, Bancroft, was convicted Thursday afternoon in Portage County Court on a battery charge and fined $120 and assessed $20 costs. Meddaugh was found guilty after a trial before Judge Robert C.

Jenkins of assaulting Raymond Wilson, the proprietor of John and Sheri's Middle Tavern in Bancroft on May 12. Meddaugh threw a glass at Wilson as Wilson attempted to eject him from the tavern after Meddaugh reportedly became The glass gashed Wilson deeply in the neck. Meddaugh maintained that he was acting in self-defense saving that Wilson advanced toward him in an angry manner. If Meddaugh does not pay his fine in 10 days, he must serve 20 days in jail. Waerner Ross Boule, Route 1, Plover, told Jenkins today that he was guilty of shoplifting.

Boule admitted stealing a $21.97 fishing rod at about 12:30 p.m. Thursday from the Shopko Discount Center, 3264 Church St. Boule was fined $110 but will serve 22 days in jail in lieu of the fine. If he can earn money working under the Huber Law, however, he may pay part of his fine and gain early release from jail. i He called the Wisconsin fig- ager, and Verne Read of the lowest among five east-' wood, board chairman of a de-north-central states.

Await Supreme Court Move WASHINGTON (AP) The fate of a bloc of 'Democratic National Convention delegates that could give Sen. George McGovern a first-ballot presidential nomination rested today with the Supreme Court. The court must decide whether to convene a rare special session to consider an appellate-court decision which returned to McGovern 151 California delegates he lost in a party Credentials Committee fight.

Chief Justice Warren E. Burger Thursday suspended implementation of the lower-court decision while he attempted to poll the other eight vacationing justices to determine if there was sufficient support for a special session. Should Burger call the court into emergency session, the justices might be expected to hold a hearing and announce a decision before the Democratic National Convention opens in Miami Beach Monday night. On the other hand, Burger could refuse the appeal, thus letting the Appeals Court deci-' sion stand. Or he could delay implementation of the Appeals Court order until the Supreme Court convenes its fall term, well after the convention ends.

In that case, McGovern might be expected to ask the convention to overrule the Credentials Committee and return the 151 California votes to him. Forces of Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley also have asked the court for a special term to attack another section of the same lower-court which upheld the committee's authority to reject 59 Illinois delegates, including Daley. State Moves Up Roll Call List MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) The Wisconsin delegation is 21st in in the roll call order at the Democratic National Convention a considerable move up from its usual spot near the end of the line.

The order was determined by a drawing held Jan. 19 in Washington. It replaces the alphabetical sequence of states. Board To Meet WISCONSIN RAPIDS The' District 14 Vocational, Technical and Adult Education Board will meet Monday, July 10, at 8 p.m. at Mid-State Technical Institute here.

Mtkraor with Tftictrint 15 tho nf in 'r Patrick Lucey's office Thur sday, may come up but action is -unlikely. At the meeting Thursday, District 14 and Wisconsin Rapids area officials received some assurances from state VTAE officials that their demands would be met for a continued building program and a community college program at Wisconsin Rapids and a health occupation center at Marshfield. However the state board doesn't meet until July 25. The merger of District 14 with District 15, based in Wausau, is blocked by a lawsuit. Yesterday's meeting was an attempt to resolve the problem by compromise, but no definite agreements came out of it.

County Funded To Reduce Traffic Crashes There will be more squad cars watching traffic on roads in Portage County during weekends this summer. Portage County sheriff Nick Check said that the state Highway Safety Office in Madison today granted the county $3,200 to use as overtime pay for deputies manning squad cars in high accident areas from now through Labor Day. The extra squads will beef up traffic patrols above normal strength. Check said Portage County was selected to receive the funds, which come through the federal highway safety program, because of the county's previous participation in highway safety programs. A computer in Madison figured out what stretches of local highways are the most dangerous during summer vacation months and the extra officers will patrol these areas with an eye to enforcing traffic laws and reducing mishaps under a program named "Summer Emphasis." Check said that several other counties in the state were selected for the pilot program.

The results will be tabulated at the end of the summer to see if the accident rate has dropped. "If the program is fruitful," Check said, "it may be expanded in future summers." Red Cross Disaster Fund Seeks Donations The Portage County Red Cross is accepting donations to help build the American Red Cross' financial resources, depleted by disasters. Wayne Jinske, a member of the local Red Cross board, said the national organization has gone over its budget because of the unusual number of disasters this year, including the floods in South Dakota and the East. He said the American Red Cross seeks to raise $10 million. Donations may be sent to the Red Cross office at 945 A Main St.

New Anti-Addict Effort Planned WASHINGTON (AP) The White House today announced a major new $2 million in-, tensified effort to produce long-lasting non-addicting chemical compounds for treatment and prevention of heroin addiction. The planners envision the possibility of using such "narcotic antagonists" to prevent youthful experimenters with heroin from ever becoming addicts. Narcotic antagonists are drugs designed to prevent heroin and other narcotics from reaching the nervous system.

Antagonists do not eliminate an addict's physical craving for heroin, but prevent him from getting a "high" if he does inject or sniff heroin. The White House's special action office for drug abuse prevention and the National Institute of Mental Health told a news conference that nine research contracts totalling more than $2 million for the clinical and pre-clinical testing of experimental compounds had been awarded. "This represents a major drive to develop new therapeutic agents which will assist patients to rid themselves of addiction and avoid returning to previous drug habits once they have been rehabilitated," said Dr. Jerome H. Jaffe, director of the special action office.

Isen, president of Griffen Laboratories, who told of market pressures and of his company's battle for FDA approval of their soft lens. That approval still has not come. Isen, who seeks approval for medical treatment with his lens, said the FDA "made a misjudgmenl" in not granting approval of some sort last year. He said some patients with severe eye conditions could have been treated. In other testimony, three eye doctors detailed the advantages and disadvantages of the soft lens.

All cautioned it is not for everyone. Some critics have contended the disadvantages of the lens were never widely discussed outside the medical community. One physician said the lens should be withdrawn from sale until a more thorough review is made. Earlier testimony has showed a wearer must boil his lenses every night; should avoid hair spray; wash with his hands with non-oil soap; dry them on a lint free towel before touching the lens; and keep his finger nails short so he won't tear the lens. The appeal of the lens is that they are comfortable, stay on the eye better, and are barely visible.

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. Black Assigned To South Africa WASHINGTON (AP) The State Department has made good on a promise and assigned James E. Baker to South Africa the first black American diplomat assigned to the nation.
