FIB8Y Ymmi stamp' pmbd By NICHOLAS C. CHRISS Nw-JtunMl Oimwlt Strvk HOUSTON The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is investigating the involvement of the Apollo 15 astronatus in the sale of 1150,000 worth of autographed and stamped envelopes taken to the moon. A West German stamp dealer, Hermann E. Sieger, sold at least 100 of the envelopes for $1,500 apiece. Officials at the Manned Spacecraft Center (MSC) here have confiscated another 500 to 800 of the valuable envelopes.

Since the sale of the 100 envelopes, or covers, in Europe in one week in April, their vlaue has gone up to at least $2,000 apiece. The confiscated covers are locked in a safe at MSC here and their total value could be around $1 million. The Apollo 15 astronauts who went to the moon in July 1971, were David R. Scott, James B. Irwin and Alfred M.

Worden. MSC officials said Scott and Irwin took the envelopes to the moon and back, and that Worden only participated in autographing them. Several space program officials here at MSC and in Washington at NASA head quarters said they were convinced that the astronauts did not profit personally, directly or indirectly, from the sale of the envelopes. One said Scott was "shocked" when he learned of the amount of money involved, and that he believed the astronauts were the "innocent victims' of a commercialization scheme. A NASA report on the affair is expected this weekend or early next week, according to John P.

Donnelly, chief public affair officer for NASA. The report is being prepared for the U.S. Senate Aeronautics and Space Sciences Committee headed by Sen. Clinton P. Anderson, who asked for information about the envelope sales.

The envelopes were taken in the astronauts' personal preference kits. They are supposed to weigh only eight ounces in the lunar module and five pounds in the com-, mand module. In the kits the astronauts may carry personal items, gifts for family, relatives or friends which they take to the moon and return. Officials don't always know what is inside the PPK's. The astronauts immediate boss, Donald K.

"Deke" Slay-ton, director of flight crew op-rations, is supposed to approve the contents of the kits. During the Apollo 10 mission in May, 1969, Astronaut John W. Young took a kosher pastrami sandwich with him. And during Apollo 14 in January, 1971, Alan B. Shepard Jr.

took along a makeshift golf club and some golf balls. But neither the pastrami sandwich nor the golf balls came anywhere near the commercial value of the envelopes. Although the astronauts may take some personal gifts with them, they are not supposed to use them for commercial purposes later. NASA headquarters here and in Washington have withheld most information about the envelopes pending the completion of their investigation. But it was learned from various sources in and out of the space program that as many as 600 to 900 envelopes may have been brought to the moon by the astronauts.

Associated Press correspondent Dennis Neeld reported from the northern front that the carrier planes bombed a line of bunkers about 2Vi miles from the center of Quang Tri City.

The bunkers were concealed in a row of homes shaded by trees and flanking Highway 1. Two companies of North Vietnamese troops, perhaps 200 or more men, were reported entrenched in the bunkers. One captured prisoner told interrogators that they had called for reinforcements. An American adviser with the paratroopers, Capt. Gail Furrow, 32, of trbana, Ohio, told Neeld he doubted that reinforcements could avoid the U.S.

air strikes and South Vietnamese artillery bombardment. But despite the U.S. air attacks, the entrenched North Vietnamese were firing on the paratroopers. Furrow said the battalion he is with could have pushed into Quang Tri City on Wednesday but it was essential to secure the highway before advancing. Other paratroopers penetrated the city limits Tuesday but took up defensive positions on the southern edge.

"I simply became carried away by my petty dispute over money with the Icelandic chess organizers," he wrote.

The written apology from the American challenger was one of the chief conditions posed by the Russians before Spassky would sit down at the chess board with Fischer. Fischer told Spassky: "I have offended vou ana your country, the Soviet Union, where chess has a prestigious position." The tempermental American also apologized to Dr. Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation, the Icelanders, "the thousands of fans around the world and especially to the millions of fans and the many friends I have in the United States." However, Fischer brushed aside a demand from the Soviet Chess Federation that he forfeit the first match because of his tardy arrival. He said this "would place me at a trmendous handicap" and he didn't believe the "world's champion desires such an advantage in order to play me." "I know you to be a sportsman and a gentleman, and I am looking forward to some exciting chess games with you," Fischer concluded.
