2 Stounton, July 16, 1972 Virginia Press Civilian lawyer wants Chess championship in doubt new trial for Galley tary Review in Washington, Fischer is refusing to play game No. 3 Sunday unless the point the Russian gained by default is scratched from the score sheet. The deadlock seemed unbreakable, but Fischer's attorneys and his second, the Rev. William Lombardy, were trying to find a way out. One official connected with the International Chess Federation FIDE said he thought it was impossible to take the point away from Spassky.

The Icelandic organizers earlier agreed to remove the television and movie cameras, although revenue from the rights helped to raise the total prize money to $300,000, the richest chess championship in history. Asked if Fischer planned to pack up and go home, Marshal replied: "No. Otherwise I wouldn't be here." The feeling was that Fischer would not play the scheduled third game on Sunday. But no one knew for certain. REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Boris Spassky fished for salmon and Bobby Fischer kept his Sabbath Saturday as chess officials scrambled to save the world championship.

After talks with officials of the International and Icelandic chess federations, Fischer's lawyer, Paul Marshal, announced the American challenger had withdrawn his objection to the presence of movie cameras in the playing hall "so long as they don't blow his mind." Marshal also asked the officials to reconsider their decision to uphold the referee in declaring a forfeit because Fischer missed the second game of the 24-game series Thursday. Fischer boycotted the session, saying the cameras distracted him. Marshal said new evidence was being prepared that might stave off cancellation of the match. He wouldn't say what the evidence was. Fischer's failure to turn up for his second encounter with the world champion gave Spassky a 2-fl lead.

Spassy needs 12 points to retain the title, Fischer 124. Each game won counts a point. A draw is half a point George W. Latimer of Salt Lake City, Utah, told the Daily Oklahoman. Calley was sentenced to life in prison in March 1971 for his part in the My Lai incident.

His sentence was reduced to 20 years during the first step in a lengthy reviewing process. The case of Calley, who is currently under house arrest at Ft.

In past years, a number of discipline problems have been brought to the board straight from the principal's office 'without the board being fully informed of the situation. Under the new guidelines, however, a student will first be brought before the principal and if the problem is not resolved the student and his parents will be Cassell on the federal team which came into the area recently to evaluate recent damage to schools from Hurricane Agnes.

Gum and Mr. Borden to view a right-of-way request on school property at Wilson Memorial High School and to make a recommendation. The need for new procedures was brought to light recently when Mr. Moore noted that a number of cases had been brought up which probably could have been resolved at lower levels. Commenting on past cases, Mr.

Moore told his colleagues Friday night that "without facts, I feel I'm not doing Supt. Hugh K.

The announcement described the eight as being members of an organization called "New Left." They range in age from 23 to 45. They had planned to kidnap ambassadors, bankers, and such people as noted Greek- American businessman Tom Pappas and young Kennedy, the government said. The announcement said this information was divulged by the group ringleader, Christos Ramadanis, 31, during interrogation by police. mm mi Did JTD' Administration to welcome Democrats Association elects officers FREDERICKSBURG (AP)-William R.

Maritime unions also have a major quarrel with McGovern's opposition to shipping at least 50 per cent of U.S.

government cargoes in American-flag vessels. Many labor officials scoffed at the idea that choosing Sen. Thomas Eagleton of Missouri as running mate would help McGovern assauge labor. Eagleton's vote in the Senate against federal funds for a supersonic transport airliner is not likely to help with the International Association of Machinists, who depend on the sagging aerospace and aircraft industries for jobs, It was reported also that Meany may cancel a scheduled meeting of the AFL-CIO's Gen eral Board, a much larger group that includes the 35-man executive council and a princi pal officer of all 119 of the federation's unions. Several union leaders who do not sit on the Executive Council have endorsed McGovern, or indicated they would endorse him.

and cancellation of the general board meeting that had been scheduled for Chicago Aue. 28 would appear a further effort to squelch labor support for the Democratic nominee. In addition to specific issues, Meany aides criticized McGovern on grounds that he had changed his position on some issues, and some were obviously nettled that he won the nomination with little labor support.

The next step, should the situation not be resolved, will be for the parents and student to appear before a two-member administrative committee. Only after these steps have been exhausted will disciplinary matters be brought before the board. Mr. Stewart, who said he had talked with high school 'principals about the procedures, said every effort would be made no involve the parents in all discussions. He also noted that a transcript of all discussions will be forwarded to the board before cases reach that level.

Meanwhile, Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace entered Spain Rehabilitation Center at the University of Alabama in Birmingham for intensive therapy. Wallace has been paralyzed from the waist down since he was shot May 15 while campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination in Maryland. Dr.

George Traugh, the physician in charge of Wallace's rehabilitation program, said the governor would be able physi cally to wage a third-party presidential campaign if he wanted to. But Wallace's press aide, El-vin Stanton, discounted talk of a third-party movement, saying the governor has made no definite political plans. Motive sought TACOMA, Wash. (AP)-Po-lice were attempting to determine Saturday what triggered a sudden, indiscriminate attack in which a man stabbed five persons on a bus before he was shot and critically wounded by a bus driver. Officers said the alleged knife assailant, Alexander Murphy, 23, an unemployed Tacoma resident, was quoted as saying before the stabbings that he was "chased out of Portland by some witches.

A Tacoma police detective said Saturday a witness re marked that during the attack on one of the elderly women the assailant said something about the woman being one of the witches from Portland. Officers said at one point they were searching for a man who sat next to Murphy on the bus and who fled after the stabbings. However, subsequent investigation found all persons on the bus accounted for. Po lice said Murphy apparently had no traveling companion and no one had fled the scene. Four of the five stabbed in the Friday night incident were listed in satisfactory condition.

The fifth was treated for stab wounds and released. Murphy was listed in critical condition from a bullet wound in the chest, a hospital spokes man said. The assailant "began stabbing and slashing indiscriminately" at people apparently without prior incident police said. The attack began as passengers debarked from the Greyhound bus in the Tacoma terminal. The bus, which began the trip in Portland, was headed for Seattle.

The attacker stepped off the bus behind Linda Chapman, 22, Portland, and began stabbing her in the back, authorities said. The man jumped back into the bus, authorities said, stabbing John S.

But few knowledgeable labor officials see much room for Meany to bury the hatchet he used to try to chop down McGovern's nomination. "How can Meany make peace after that white paper that tried to paint McGovern black?" asked one.

The 50-page document prepared before the convention in Meany's eighth-floor AFL-CIO headquarters offices overlooking the White House a block away, accused McGovern of being antilabor, against some civil rights issues and pro-Hanoi. Some saw Wednesday's battle a test of Meany's control over the labor federation. Wurf hinted he may try to bypass Meany and Barkan and set up a separate labor group to campaign for McGovern if the AFL-CIO votes to remain neutral.

WASHINGTON (AP) As the legions of Sen. George laid plans for a massive voter registration drive, the Nixon administration laid out the welcome mat for Democrats dissatisfied with their party's presidential ticket. The first order of business in the Democrats' presidential campaign is a nationwide effort to register new voters, especially the young, said Sen. Thomas F. Eagleton, vice presidential nominee, in a Kansas City speech Saturday.

McGovern, the Democrats' presidential choice, stayed at his Washington home Saturday, spending much of the day call ing his Senate staff members and campaign aides. Republicans issued their in vitation to disgruntled Demo crats through former Treasury Secretary John B. Connally, a lifelong Democrat. Standing in front of Nixon's San Clemente, mansion Friday night, Connally said in stead of supporting McGovern, he will try to rally Democrats behind the President's re-elec tion campaign. Meanwhile, Democrats of every persuasion were saying McGovern had an uphill battle ahead.

"We're not under any illusions that the battle is won," McGovern remarked on arriving in Washington from Miami. "But I have much the same feeling I had in New Hampshire at the beginning of the year it's an uphill effort but I think we're going to go over the top." McGovern surprised pollsters and political commentators last January when he captured 37 per cent of the vote in the New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary. Sen. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine, considered the front-runner for the nomination at the time of the New Hampshire primary, expressed support for McGovern on returning to his home state Friday after the convention.

But he, too, saw a tough campaign ahead. "They face not only the conventional challenge of unseating an incumbent president, but also the much more important challenge of facing new directions in America," Muskie told a crowd greeting him at the Portland airport. Proof that the Democratic party is moving in new directions came Friday in Miami Beach, when the national committee ratified McGovern's selection of Jean Westwood as Democratic national chair man the first woman to head a major political party. In another precedent-setting move, the committee selected Basil Paterson, 45, a Harlem black and former state senator, as vice chairman. We give meticulous attention to all details.
