The surprise agreement came in a joint communique issued simultaneously in Seoul and North Korea's capital of Pyongyang. The agreement said that the two nations have agreed not to slander or defame each other and not to undertake armed provocations against each other in an effort to ease tensions and foster mutual trust. The communique was signed by Lee Hu-Rak, director of the South Korean Central Banker's By TNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL Chess whiz Bobby Fischer, lured out of seclusion by a British banker's offer to double the world championship prize money, flew to Iceland Monday night, just hours before the start of his match with the Soviet Union's Boris Spassky. Avoiding newsmen at Kennedy International Airport, Fischer, accompanied by three associates, was driven directly onto the runway and boarded Icelandic Airways Flight 202 through a rear door. Fischer, unsmiling and wearing red slacks and a blue blazer, got on the plane shortly after 9 p.m., more than an hour and a half after the flight was scheduled to take off.

The plane finally left at 10:04 p.m. The Icelandic DC8 was expected to arrive in Reykjavik at 7:30 a.m. (2:30 a.m. Muncie time.) THE MATCH "WAS scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. Tuesday (noon Muncie time.) -v Ventiliition The apartment of Myrtle Turner, 2001 N.

"In order to ease tensions and foster an atmosphere of mutual trust between the South and the North, the two sides have agreed not to slander or dofame each other, not to undertake armed provocations whether on a large or small scale and to take positive measures to prevent inadvertent military incidents," it said. The communique added the two sides: IN ORDER TO restore severed national ties, promote mutual understanding Fischer to statement in which he said he had never given FIDE any permission to postpone the game. Fischer, 23, of Brooklyn, flew to New York from Los Angeles last weekend and went into hiding, while his representatives battled over the money terms.

MONDAY, British banker Jim Slater offered to double the $125,000 prize money which would mean the winner would get $150,000 and the loser $100,000. Fischer had been seeking 30 per cent of the gate. Slater said if his offer did not satisfy Fischer he would give an extra $125,000 to the winner and nothing to the loser. "Fischer has said that money is the problem," Slater said. "Well, here it is.

What I am saying to Fischer now is "come out and play."

SPASSKY ARRIVED for the match on schedule and has spent his time calmly playing tennis. The Soviet news agency Tass said at one point that if Fischer was playing a "war of nerves" against Spassky, Fischer was losing. "This money is more than the 30 per cent of the gate receipts Fischer has asked for in addition to the prize money and I do hope that he will now decide to come here and play," Euwe, said. The offer was communicated to Paul G. Marshall, a lawyer representing Fischer in New York where the 29-year-old chess star was in hiding, Icelandic Radio said.

Marshall was not immediately available for comment. In addition to the prize money each player also will get 30 per cent of television and film rights from the Icelandic sponsors. Hooni Business ask for the contraband, such as truck drivers, leave without buying anything when they learn the stand doesn't offer what they want. But most people go ahead and settle for something a little more mild, Faust said.

Talks Defuse number of those killed in the past three days in what an army spokesman described as a possible series of vengeance executions by both Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland.

If Fischer had not left Monday night, he would have been disqualified and the match forfeited to Spassky. Earlier, Gudmundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic Chess Federation, expressed optimism that Fischer, of Brooklyn, N.Y., would make it Tuesday for the match. THE TWO-DAY postponement granted by the International Chess Federation (FIDE) was sharply criticized by Soviet Chess authorities Monday. Dr.

Max Euwe, president of FIDE, said he had not heard of Fischer's reported acceptance of the new offer and also expressed some fears over what Spassky. might do if Fischer turns up two days late. Spassky earlier Monday issued a Shankill Road and Catholic Springfield Road areas. It and Mayo Street, running parallel, were once Catholic a part of a small pocket of Catholic families in the otherwise Protestant area. The UDA said Monday it was determined to barricade the two streets, barring them to troops and police, so that Protestants working at a nearby factory could get home without having to cross Catholic territory.

The UDA issued an ultimatum, demanding British troops be out of the area by 9 p.m. (3 p.m. Muncie time). The deadline came and went without violence as army officers and UDA men argued. "We have no intention of moving," an army spokesman said.

"We are in no mood for ultimatums from any side. If they insist on causing trouble they will have to take the consequences." THE SPOKESMAN said the executions could be the work of the UDA or of the militant Provisional wing of the Irish Republican Army (IRA), either one "operating on their own to settle old scores."

FAUST is one of about a dozen retailers who are supplied by a local "distributor," Bob Rhinberger, himself an elementary school teacher at Blaine School in Muncie. Faust, like Rhinberger's other clients, rents his own space and gives Rhinberger a share of the profits.

After those payments, Faust made more than $200 in one week last year. Although Faust said he doesn't know how much Rhinberger makes, he said "it is nothing" for one stand to take in two or three hundred dollars "on a good day." Along with his wife and two-year-old sou, Faust seils various legal fireworks ranging from ten cents to $1.50. He peddles different sized sparklers that sparkle, "glow worm" snakes that crawl from a carbon pellet when touched off by a match and "fountains" of several sizes that side. He had been shot in the back. This discovery, plus the three earlier bodies found in Belfast, brought the three-year death toll in the province to 401, the army said.

GEN. ROBERT Ford, commander of troop land operations, told more than 1,500 troops in Ainsworth Avenue the Protestants had abandoned for the moment attempts to extend one of their barricaded "no-go" areas around a tiny Roman Catholic neighborhood. Both Catholics and Protestants have set up "no-go" barricades in Belfast and Londonderry to keep out troops and police. Only yards away, an estimated 2,000 men in the peaked caps and olive-drab fatigue jackets of the paramilitary Ulster Defense Association (UDA) faced the soldiers. "No barricades are to be set up by the UDA," Ford said.

"The army will be responsible for maintaining law and order and for the security of the area the UDA wished to seal off." BUT FORD said there would be a number of unarmed UDA patrols as well. Only moments before, Ford and a UDA deputation returned from conference with Whitelaw, secretary of state for Northern Ireland under British direct rule of the province. The general said further talks on the neighborhood were scheduled for Tuesday, but "don't ask me how long this agreement will stand. We spent a long time negotiating it. It will do for the moment." UDA leaders were less explicit in their explanations.

"Go home, the army are stepping down," was all they told the assembled force before the commands of "turn about" and "march" rang out in tiny Ainsworth Avenue, 1 THE STREET links the Protestant Elderly Pedestrian Struck; Indiana's 18th Holiday Victim from the wire services The victim, Richard Griffith, 72, was a Indiana's Fourth of July holiday period school crossing guard, traffic fatality toll reached 19 Monday.

Although the stands usually consist of little more than two tables loaded with mild fireworks, some take in up to $300 in one day. (Star Photo) Selling Fireworks a Brief but Profitable By LARRY LOUGH Although the many small stands selling fireworks at roadsides throughout Muncie don't appear to be much, they represent a lucrative but temporary business. Steve Faust, a teacher at Royerton Elementary School, has found that the time he spends just prior to July 4 at a fireworks stand on Broadway is well worth it. Last year, working about seven hours a day for seven days before July 4, Faust made a little more than $200. This year things haven't been quite so good.

"I don't know if it's been the weather or what," he said. "I guess I had a better location last year." He's been on the east side of Broadway just north of the Muncie Mall this year, but was further south last year near the Burger Chef smoke, whistle and throw sparks into the air anywhere from five to thirty feet high depending on the price. MOST OF HIS "big things" are sold to adults, but kids buy many of his ten cent articles. Faust says most kids would rather spend their money for ten small novelties than one big cne. "A lot of kids come and buy ten, twenty, thirty cents worth," Faust said, "and then they come back the next day with whatever they can bum off their mothers and Faust said that although the rains have slowed sales somewhat this year, business has been picking up, as it did last year, as the holiday approaches.

The salesman said he gets "an awful lot of people" who ask for firecrackers, which are illegal in Indiana. Some who.
