The Advance Planning and Planning Departments were combined in the Department ofi Planning and Development, a shakeup that had been expected by some since last fall. Although the exact nature of personnel manipulating re- mained a question mark until Tuesday, City Hall had been anticipating some move since Mayor Jim Robinson first took office and voiced displeasure witn the planning setup. The ordinance passed Tuesday was plucked from a study by Public Research and Management an Atlanta firm that prepared a lengthv land use control report for the Central Alabama Regional Planning and Development commission. The regional commission, in turn, presented the report to the city commission for implemen tation. The' Atlanta consulting firm since has been hired by the city to compile a governmental organization and management, or efficiency, study.

Robinson said the city was prompted to contract with the firm after seeing its staff in action on the land use control study. The firm's study, and the city's action on it, could well be a sign of things to come in future months as the consul tants delve into many other organizational aspects of city government. Sweeping changes, sucli as the departmental merger, may be on the horizon. Tuesday's action left both departments generally intact, with both to perform essentially the same functions under greater coordination. ties as they do now, althougtr the commission is to work more acuveiv in lormini; ueveioDinenu plans and policies.

This strengthened role of the- have.left the area bad shape, hin replied that they don't time to police the area. Planning Commission will be performed through 1 i cooperation with the Division of I Planning and Program in suggested monthly meetings. The ordinance cited the need for "an in-depth planning staff to perform an adequate local 'J planning function," which! the f. 1 provide with the addition of professional planners. Robinson said the changes should take little time to implement, and will be started 3 Copters Lost During Viet Attack SAIGON (AP) Several hundred South Vietnamese ma rines were dropped behind ene- mv lines north of Quang City Tuesday, and ground fire was so heavy it knocked down three American helicopters that flew them in.

The helicopters, flown by U.S. Marines from 7th Fleet carriers, made their landings under escort of U.S. Army Cobra helicopter gunships. "Initial action on the ground was hot as the South Vietnamese marines moved off the helicopters and on to the offensive," said a 7th Fleet announcement. The crews from two downed helicopters were rescued, the U.S.

Command reported but the fate of those aboard the third was not known. Field reports said a fourth ship may have been drowned on the same mis sion. It was not known here wheth er the helicopters had dropped off their loads of government troops before they were hit. A government military spokesman said he had no re port the marines had made contact with the enemy, and no casualty reports were issue. By MARCIA KUNSTEL Advertiser Staff Writer The gates of lush Lagoon Park were nearly slammed in the public face Tuesday when tile city Recreation Board learned of security problems mere.

iBoard member Mureal Crump proposed the park, off U.S. 231 north of Gunter Air Force Base, be closed until full-time security guards can be hired. His motion was prompted when Board Chairman Jim Vice reported problems there, including a recent burglary in one building and the theft of fire extinguishers and other equipment. An immediate a i response to closing the facility came from Mrs. fcdith Upchurch, Parks and Recrea- tion Department program coordinator, who said about 150 children use the park each day as part of the Recreation support Program.

She added that four adults are there during the day supervising the program, but Crump immediately. The department falls under his jurisdiction. Those who will be most vital- -ly affected by the new plan either could not ba reached ot would not comment Tuesday. Aronstein was not available, and Knight refused to comment now, as did John Starr, chair- man of the Planning Com Local Drug Pr ograms Await Cash to Match U.S. Grants mission.

"And that second grant is going ti ramiira matpVnncT funds Rn if might be that neither grant will Fischer Facing Battle For Draw in First Game "It's too big and too far retnoved," Crump said "Anything can happen there." The problem was resolved when Vice suggested the board hire two staff aides to serve as security guards until pro fessional guards can be hired. Crump withdrew his original motion and the board agreed to hire the aides, who will have overall responsibility for security at Lagoon Park. Board members also decided to have a set of rules drawn up governing use of Lagoon Park by groups who reserve the facility for picnics and outings.

Currently the board requires only a $5 deposit on the key to the gates. The new rules will demand a $25 cleanup and damage deposit, which will -not be returned until the park is inspected for trash and damage to property. Recently the board stopped allowing use of the park by groups, after one organization plied. Fischer has played Spassky five times the past. The three times he played the black pieces he lost.

Playing white he was able to salvage two draws. but has never triumphed over the Soviet. Spassky made his first move Tuesday all by himself in the shadowless illumination of the stage at Reykjavik's Sports palace. There was something surrea listic about the world cham pionship series with prize mon ey ot about $300,000 starting with only one man sitting at the chess table. Fischer, as usual, was late.

He arrived seven minutes after Spassky moved his queen's pawn and reieree Lothar Schmid pressed the button to start Fische's clock. The game went cautiously at first, with the players alloted 2'i hours each to make 40 moves. The experts said Fis cher was trying for a draw by exenangmg pieces, impufying, trying to reduce the advantage Spassky had by choosing the opening. He galloped his bishop down a long black diagonal, snatch ing up a bpassky pawn. In a few moves the bishop was trapped.

In the exchange, Fischer lost the bishop for two pawns. Byrne called it a blunder. be approved." Alahamians Galore Working at Miami include creating the position of a new department head, but Mayor Robinson refused to say on Tuesday who that chief will be. He did say the appointment will come soon. The post of director will pay $16,500, while the head of the Planning Department, Jack Knight, has received a $14,950 salary, and Advance Planning Director J.

Aronstein is salaried at $13,730. Stepping down the ad- ministrative ladder in the new department, the position of ad- vance planner is comparable to Aronsteins current post and will pay the same. The position of zoning administrator parallels Knight's job and also will carry the same salary Knight receives. now This means that either one of the old department heads is up for a generous salary boost, or perhaps more likely, Robinson will bring in someone else to oversee the new department. The new department will be split into the division of Planning and Program, corresponding in duties to the Advance Planning Department, and the division of Planning Controls, comparable to the old Planning Department.

To professionalize both and for greater efficiency, according to the resolution, two clerical and drafting positions will be eliminated and two planners will be added. The juxtaposition will leave the new department with the same number of personnel now working in the two separate departments, thus meaning little added expense. Clerical needs will be met by a stenographic and drafting pool that will serve both divisions of the new department, with the intention of lessening the impact of the elimination of the two clerical jobs. The Planning and Program And another grant request by the local group for $222,000 will be sent off by Aug. tor a detoxification and after care program if $4,000 can be found to match the federal dollars.

Dr. Grover Murchison, presi dent of the Drug Action Committee, said Tuesday night that he and other officials are meeting with the Montgomery: Area Chamber of commerce next Wednesday to see if they can suggest prospective donors from the area's service clubs. Will the two programs conflict? Officials of both programs say no. Others, however, say Washington will not set up two agencies that have overlapping similarities. "Our program is entirely dif ferent and separate from what the state is trying to do," Murchison said.

"We hope to become the umbrella organization that would coordinate all work in the drug abuse field and prevent splinter groups from doing a little bit, but not enough." Dr. Ervin Stasek, associate commissioner for interagency offices of the State Department of Mental Health, said that should both programs be approved in Washington, be hoped each would complement the other. The main thing I believe both groups are mostly concerned with is providing as complete a drug treatment program as possible," Stasek said. He added, too. that the state mental health department was in no way trying to negate the efforts of the Montgomery group and "I would be delighted mey were approved.

Approval of the city's drue group projects would mean the state could shift it's plan from Montgomery and into another area that would have no nro- gram for addicts, Stasek added. Stasek and his workers are presently trying to find out wnat resources are available in Montgomery, what is needed, and then plan a meeting with local drug officials, But matching funds biggest concern right now." hp added. Murchison agreed, saying wmi a wc jicai i-Dreaiting tnmg about this.

The National Hurricane Cen ter said the depression was centared off the South Carolina coast about 25 miles southeast of Myrtle Beach at 5 p.m.

EDT and was moving north northwest at about 8 miles per hour. TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) Attv. Gen. Robert L.

Shevin Tuesday urged tha lonaa bu preme Court to break a centuries-old tradition by allowing non-unanimous jury verdicts in criminal trials. Shevin said his ipterpietation of a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision would allow the state's high court to approve less-than unanimous verdicts by ti simple change in rules. However, the Florida Bar As sociation told the court the move might not be that simple. The attorney general called for permitting 10-to-2 verdicts for 12-member juries and 5-to-l verdicts for six-member juries.

Shevin flew from Miami Beach where hg was attending the Democratic National Convention to be able to present his views personally to the court in a ten-minute appear ance. He said the present system "gives an excessive opportunity for a single juror to either hang up a jury entirely or insist on a compromise verdict." "None of our other deliber ative bodies including this court itself require unani mity," said Shevin. But Harry Trawick, chairman of the Florida Bar's Rules Committea, told the court there was a reason why criminal juries were required to return unanimous juies and higher courts were not. "You are seeking errors, not truth," said Trawick. "The jury is seeking truth and that is the difference." Trawick said that the bar felt the issue was "a matter of sub stance rather than procedure" and either legislation or a con stitutional amendment would be required before such a change could be made.

The Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision upheld the con stitutionality of laws in Loui siana and Oregon permitting less than a unanimous vote for convictions in noncapital crimes. Most states require unanimous verdicts in all criminal trials. One member of the state court, Chief Justice B. K. Roberts, has already publicly stated that ha leans toward non-unanimous verdicts.

From the governor's office alone, volunteers include the governor's executive secretary, Harry Pennington; four administrative assistants, Jesse Gann, Ben Hill and Bobby Bowick and Dan Turner; press aides Billy Joe Camp and Elvm SfanfAn AnI at loact a pnnnlo From the State Finance Department, Director Taylor Hardin, and his chief assistant, Richard Stone, are among those spending the week in Miami. Several other department heads, including Alabama Development Office boss Red Bamberg, the Labor Department's Howard Hendrix, and State Sovereignty Commission Director Jack Wmneld are working here instead of Montgomery. Lt. Gov. Jere Beasley, his top aide and a security man are helping out in the convention campaign.

So are a number of state legislators. They will be doing everything from running errands to rounding up delegate support to, in the case of Jasper State Sen. Bob Wilson, formally nominating Wallace for President with a speech from the convention podium. Wallace, one aide said. brought 24 state troopers with mm to Miami and 50 secret service agents.

The campaign office, staffed initially by between 50 and 75 them salaried, has been open here for at least one month. Aides are refusing to say how much the convention campaign is costing. Or say they don't know. Two aides said $50,000 would be a good start. On the convention floor last night working for the governor was John DeCarlo.

the Birm ingham attorney who has been the top legal man in the presidential campaign and was named by Wallace last week to the State Court of Criminal 'Appeals. Others also helped in the floor fight. DeCarlo's assistants are 22-year-old John Toole, who has been working as one of Wallace's advance men during the campaign; Emmet Eaton, director of the Alabama Commission on Aging; Livingston's young mayor Drayton Pruitt, who is also a Wallace delegate: Press Secretary Camp, Wallace brothers Gerald and Jack: Bav Minette publisher i rauiKner and Mobile State Sen.

The first game of history's richest world chess title match was called after 40 moves and 3 hours and 34 minutes of play. It will resume Wednesday at 1 p.n. EDT, or 5 p.m. Reykjavik time.

When play was called off for the night, there was little left on the board: a king and five pawns for Fischer; a king, three pawns and a bishop fori fepassky. U.S. grandmaster Robert Byrne said: "Fischer is going to have trouble making a raw. I don't see how Spassky can lose." Svetozar Gligoric, the Yugo slav grandmaster, commented: "It is doubtful whether black can save a draw." Fischer is playing the black pieces and Spassky the white, which means the Russian had the first move. Yefim Geller, the Russian who seconds Spassky, watched the final moves on closed circuit television in the corridor, sipping a cup of coffee.

"What do you think, Grandmaster Geller?" he was asked. "I am hot thinking, I am drinking coffee," Geller re dering the support program activities. The board also approved revised plans for the Carver Field House and referred them to the Montgomery City Commission to be sent out for bid. A few weeks ago bids on the facility came in several thousands of dollars too high, removed from the plans, Site plans for four spray pools also were approved by the including lockers, benches and floor tile. and some items had to be board, and will be sent to the commission to let for bid.

Plans that were bid too high on another facility, the Old Hayneville Road Park, are almost revised and should be ready for rebid soon, Vice told the board. in other action the board agreed to pay for umpires for the Advanced tfaoe kuid League after a league reDresentative requested $500 for the program.

Chess Play Opens By JERY TILLOTSON Advertiser Staff Writer Montgomery may have two separate comprehensive drug treatment programs totaling over $1 million in operation by next year. But the main obstacle con fronting both projects is finding matching funds for federal grants.

The city has already been earmarked for approximately $400,000 through the State Department of Mental Health for the establishment of an emergency treatment, residen tial care and detoxification for drug addicts. But this plan will come to nothing unless $100,000 of the $400,000 total can be found in matching monies The second program, created by the Montgomery Drug Action Committee, has yet to receive approval for any funds. Drug Action officials, however, have already submitted a grant request of $393,000 for drug education and preven tion which requires no matching tunas irom tne city. Shut School In Chilton Will Reopen By M. P.

WEISSKOPF Advertiser Staff Writer A Chilton County junior high school closed more than two years ago in a federal court-ordered drive to desegregate the county school system will be reopened this fall to an in-! tegrated class of first-grade students. Jemison Junior High School will reopen its doors August to about 120 white and 20 black first-graders as result of a re cent court decree modifying the April 1970 order which closed the formerly all -black school and assigned its students to neighboring Jemison High 5chool Center. U.S. Dist. Judge Robert Var- ner granted a petition Friday by the Chilton County Board of Education to permit the first-) grade and possibly a portion of the second-grade students to use the school which has remained idle and vacant since its closing at the end of the 1970 academic year.

County education officials said in their May 13 petition that reopening the Junior high school to the lower grades would help relieve overcrowding in the high school center where enrollment has swelled to 1,300 during the current year. They said more room is needed to permit the school to function properly. Varner said in his ruling Fri day that the U.S. Department of Justice, a plaintiff-intervenor and friend of the court in the case, had no objections to his decision. Death Notice ASHLEY, Mrs.

Several blocks from tha hall on Pennsylvania Ave.

Is campaign office. Across the a 1 -1 i causeway in Miami, at the plush Sheraton Four Am bassador Hotel, there is the third-floor nerva center of a highly-organized machine geared to win George Wallace a place on the Democratic presidential ticket. At least it hopes to make his influence felt in the outcome of the week's Democratic National Convention. The place was a veritable beehive of activity Monday when Alton Dauphine, the governor's slight-built brother-in-law, stood 1 shirtsleeves, pointed toward a harried switchboard operator in an an teroom and said, "We're doing what we set out to do." Dauphine, tha man in charge of the governor's convention communica tions, doesn't hesitate to take pride in the setup. Twenty campaign workers, at hotels, on the convention floor and elsewhere, communicate with each other through walkie- talkie, a two-way political innovation first used by John Kennedy's men at tha 1960 Democratic Convention in Los Angeles.

Others can be reached with "beepers," a sort of electronic calling system. The worker hearing himself wherever ha might be, then calls the central switchboard Not all the candidates have individual telephone swucnooaras. Wallace's works separate from the hotel and convention's system and is connected to a number of phones, The hookup goes into each of tne hotel rooms used by Wallaca workers. The bulk of the campaign rooms are at the Sheraton, 90, and the Dupont naza, so. There are at least 300 Alaba-mians down here this week working as volunteers.

Many of tnam nave doubled up in the shortage of hotel rooms. Most of them are likely to see little or nothing of the sand and surf of Miami Beach while the con vention is in progress. '1 'I Fischer (Right) and Spassky Sketched as.
