wmi fait sac 2A Wednesday, July 5, 1972 5 Ms SO sum nJ3ln) odpif Fred Brown 'Hi HAVE YOU been keeping track of the moves in the world chess championship which was to have begun Sunday? It's been a riot so far. First, the American Bobby Fischer (sometimes known as the enfant terrible), says there wasn't enough money in Reykjavik, Iceland, whatever that might be, to force his presence. A measley 125,000 record pot wasn't enough for our boy. Then the present world champ, Boris Spassky, got tired or the challenger's challenges and walked out. .4 i.

"V- SOMEBODY SHOULD give the fellows a pair of leather gloves instead of knights, kings and queens. Chess is a war of nerves and intellect, but this is getting ridiculous. The chess world awaits the match of the century and both boys are acting like a couple of teenagers 'before the big prom. Fischer, the U.S.'s only hope of claiming a world title, sked for more money (30 per cent of the gate) and got it from a Britain benefactor, who evidently is a chess buff or a fellow who likes to see a good scrap. From the outset, Fischer has been playing heavily on the war of nerves.

He said all along he wanted more money and several countries refused to meet his demands. Tins RUSSIAN, backed by Moscow as are all Russian chess players (it's their national sport), said he was ready to play. the pressure Is on Spassky. He is the world king. He must win.

Russia has never lost a world championship. And to do so now would be a slap in the face. Especially to Fischer, who says he is simply the greatest of them all. Fischer is sort of a Cassius Clay of the chess world. Spassky no doubt feels the pressure and all this bantering back and forth has got to work on him further.

But, just as in other sports, you don't get to be world champ by sitting in a corner on a stool taking the count. TANK LAUNDRY South Vietnamese soldiers give their tanks a bath by driving into a shallow river bed recently, south of the northern front. The tanks provide road security for convoys traveling to the northern defense line. (Pgittactla Nowt-AP Wlrtphefe) Hudson becomes Mississippi with floating QTL festival coo, dry air weather By GEORGE ESPER Associated. Pratt Writer SAIGON (AP) American jets wrecked three major de- 9ts on the edges of Hanoi uesday 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 prog-ress was reported from the' paratroopers who reached the outskirts of Quang Trl City on 4 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 bad 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 VS. Command said it had no plane losses Tuesday to report yet. But it did announce that MIG21 epptors 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 north-, cast of Hanoi July 1. Two of the fliers were rescued, and four are missing, the com-.

mand 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 miss- ing. 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 Lol depot three miles southeast of the center of Hanoi. At the Hanoi military vehicle 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. A third flight of F4 fight-erbombers destroyed a large repair shop and damaged another repair shop and a vehicle storage building at the Hanoi vehicle repair facility three miles southeast of the center of the city, the command said. In a delayed report which apparently had to be cleared by the Pentagon because of its political sensitivity, the command said that a naval task force last Saturday caught a flotilla of barges transporting supplies from offshore freighters presumed to be from the Communist bloc.

In South Vietnam, the VS. Command said, two U.S. Marine Phantoms accidentally attacked South Vietnamese marines five miles southeast of Quang Tri City, killing 11 of tnem and wounding 30. Spokesmen said the mistaken attack is under Investigation. NOW THAT Fischer's money demands have been met, it Is time to get on with the work at hand the 24-game championship.

The Russians have filed their protest and everything is in order on the face front It is time to see who actually is the world champ. Any further deal would resemble a couple of baseball players refusing to play in a world series because their pay check wasnt enough. Fischer, the chess phenom, has been criticized for his actions. But be alone has taken the game out of the realm of dusty obscurity and made it into something across sports pages in this country. AND HE alone can bring the title to the U.S.

Now, it is the Russian's turn to move. And watch out for that first checkmate. It could be a nasty one. Democrats hire human security brought smiles so broad that they exposed the gold fillings of 76-year-old Kid Thomas and the other whitemaned players. Who said New Yorkers are blase? Both the Algiers Stompers, who perform Mondays and Thursdays in New Orleans' Preservation Hall, and the Tuxedo Jazz Band, which originated with different musicians in 1910, came on strongest in their ensemble playing, but in Dave Bartholomew the Tuxedo band has the superior trumpeter and one who blows in the tradition of Louis Armstrong.

The two-hour boat ride and concert was a welcome intermission between this city's appropriate substitute for 4th of July fireworks the midnight a.m. jam session which sold out the Radio City Music Hall and the first of last evening's four Carnegie and Philharmonic hall concerts. That jam session, which drew a double line of first-come, first-serve ticket-holders snaking twice around the music hall and a few hundred more who couldn't buy their way in, started off good-naturedly on stage as a "git-together" of old friends from the mainstream school of jazz rather than as a "cutting contest." And when Roy Eldridge, Bobby Hackett. Bud Freeman, Red Norvo, Vic Dickenson, Benny Carter, Teddy Wilson, Jim Hall, Larry Ridley and Bobby Rosengardun took turns soloing on "Rose Room," "Honeysuckle Rose" and a couple of other riff tunes, they filled the cav-ernous auditorium with a thousand memories of the 1930s and 40s. The audience was young, 1 ghalred.

I Forecast fair By CLIFF SMITH Newt-Journal Oannett Service NEW YORK The Hudson became the Mississippi and the Staten Island Ferry a riv-crboat queen yesterday as the Newport Jazz Festival went afloat for the first time in its 19 years. The transformation was accomplished by two seven-piece traditional jazz bands from New Orleans, trumpeter Kid Thomas Valentine's Algiers Stompers and banjoist Albert Papa French's Original Tuxedo Jazz Band.

As the boat passed the Statue of Liberty, there were unconfirmed reports that the doughty old lady picked up her skirts and did a quick two-step. Only a handful of the 1,000 who were aboard for each of three trips noticed, however, because they were too busy bobbing and bouncing not to the movement of the ferry but to the music of "Panama," "Fidgety Feet," "Bill Bailey, Won't You Please Come Home," "Over the Waves," "Algiers Strut," "Yellow Dog Blues," "South Rampart Street Parade," "Jazz Me Blues" and "Hey, LaBa." When the more spirited of the two bands, the Original Tuxedo Jazz Band, tore into "When the Saints Go Marching In" as the boat neared the end of a round trip from Battery Park to the George Washington Bridge, the hand-clapping, singing and shouting passengers looked like refugees from a revival as they marched behind the band around the top deck. During each band's hour-long performance, the audience stood 10 deep on the perimeter and their enthusiastic response to every solo and tune, so typical of all the New-port audiences thus far, ers or thundershowers. Cooler and drier air will follow this front bringing mostly fair weather to this area for the next two days. At 12 p.m.

in Pensacola, the skies were partly cloudy; temperature 86; dew point 70; relative humidity 59 per cent; wind from the west northwest at 7 miles per hour; sea level pressure 30.11 and falling. An autumnlike chill clung to wide areas of the midconti-nent. today after giving sections from Montana to Michigan their coolest Independence Day on record. Temperatures settled again into the 40s, and occasional 30s, in parts of the northern Midwest for the second day in a row. Record July 4 lowi were chalked up in Montana, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Wyoming and Illinois.

The artic air penetrated as far south as Texas, which also registered record iow readings Tuesday. Thunderstorms were active in the East and the Deep South, with locally heavy rainfall in some areas. The storms triggered flash-flood warnings for portions of West Virginia, eastern Kentucky and southwestern Virginia. Tides V. S.

Security outside (Yip-pics, Hippies and Zippics) and security inside (delegates, challengers, newsmen and messengers). On suggestion of the Secret Service, the conventional hall will undergo a military-type inspection for possible bombs beginning at midnight Sunday. Convention officials said that all technicians and their tool kits must be out of the building then and those having immoveable, locked equipment in the hall must be there to open it for inspection. The hall will not be reopened until Monday afternoon. tlve, and even though many didn't even know the names of half the jazz greats playing for them, they were generous with their cheers and standing ovations, especially for Gene' Krupa, who came out of re-; tirement to replace Rosen-garden half way through the first set.

Two more teams one made up of Dizzy Cillespite, Bennie Green, Stan Getz, Kenny Burrcir, Mary Lou Williams, Milt Jackson, Max Roach, Percy Heath and Big Black and the other comprising Harry (Sweets) Edison, James Moody, Flip Phillips, Kal Winding, Zoot Sims, Dexter Gordon, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Chuck Wayne, Her-bie Hancock, Tony Williams and Ridley again strutted their stuff but were hampered by a sound system which probably couldn't stand the neat. In all 'the commotion from the audience and the attention from television camera crews, some longtime jazz listeners must have wondered if jazz, the stepchild of the music would, ever had it so good. An earlier audience at Philharmonic Hall Monday night had it better than good during a Stan Kcnton-Woody Herman concert, which probably is comparable In baseball to a Mcts-Pirates or Orioles-Tigers doublcheadcr. While Kenton's trumpets and trombones shone with the flair his brass sections have almost always had, Herman'! umpteenth herd outswung the Kentonmen by an embarrassingly wide degree. The smaller, 15-man band of mostly youngsters, sparked by the lead trumpet playing of veteran Al Torcino and the drumming Mt.

Morris' young Joe LaBarbcra, showed that it's one of Woody's best on pieces like "Adam's Apple," "Better Get It In Your Soul," and the extended Alan Broadbent work, "Variations on a Scene." In the playing of "Theme from Summer of '42," Greg Herbert told us he'i one of the best tenor saxophone soloists since the earlier Herds. Herman also showed better taste in the choice of alumni he welcomed back. Three-fourths of the original Four Brothers sax section tenor saxmrn Stan Getz, Zoot Sims and Al Cohn rejoined the Hermanitej first for a remake of "Four Brothers," which the Class of '72 and alumni alike dug into so in-spiringly that It raised goose-bumps. Getz also brought back the beautiful "Early MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) The people who attended the Democratic National Convention next week will be admitted by people, not machines.

The Democrats hope that humans can do what elec tronic gatekeepers couldn't. In Chicago four years ago it was go or no-go according to the capricious whims of a machine that flashed green or red and maybe not at all. A plastic card held by the user aided the machine in its decision. Sometimes it got fooled by an ordinary oil company credit card, but most often by its transistor innards. The result was people who got in when they shouldn't; people who didn't when they noma; ana a lot or people who flashed redder than the iiiaiiiiilrs.
