Aim of the project is to open safer shipping routes through the perilous arctic waters by learning how to predict the movement of the pack ice. GOVERNMENT agencies and educational institutions of the United States, Canada and Japan are taking part in the project known as AIDJEX (Arctic Ice Dynamics Joint Experiment). They will field a staff of nearly 90 workers, including specially trained swimmers. It has been established that movements of the arctic ice floes are partly determined by pressure ridges that rise scores of feet above the ice pack and similar underwater ridges. Winds turn the upper ridges into sails and the underwater ones Chess Czars Threaten To Disqualify Fischer AMSTERDAM (UPI) The until Tuesday to guarantee his stage the match play Spassky under those condiInternational Chess Federation attendance or lose his chance at Fischer turned the offer down, tions.

ORLANDO EVENING STAR world Page 3-A Saturday, April 1, 1972 Rival Parade Plans Leave Ulster Tense BELFAST, Northern Ireland (UPI)-Northern Ireland today bea tense Easter weekend of gan Protestant and Catholic parades. Britain dispatched hundreds of troop reinforcements, bringing the army's strength in the province to its highest level yet. In continuing violence, British troops battled gunmen and an unexplained bomb explosion during the night in Roman Catholic areas of Belfast severed the arm of a 16-year-old youth. THE 40 men detained aboard the British prison ship H.M.S.

Maidstone in Belfast harbor began a hunger strike for the release of all internees in the province. Good Friday passed relatively peacefully in Northern Ireland. Catholic priests said the IRA suspended its bombing campaign against civilian targets Friday, apparently in observance of the day, and probably would continue the bombing truce through the Easter period. AN ARMY spokesman said a bomb explosion Friday night in the Catholic White Rock area of Belfast serever the arm of the 16-year-old boy. Security forces said they did not know what caused the explosion or how the boy came to be involved.

In other sporadic violence, British troops exchanged fire with gunmen in a brief battle in the capital's Andersonstown area Friday night. The army said the battle erupted when gunmen ambushed a militia patrol of the Ulster Defense Regiment. The spokesman said there were no casualties. William Whitelaw, who assumed direct rule of Northern Ireland Thursday on behalf of the British government, indicated Friday security forces would make no attempt to block the Easter parades providing they are peaceful, although he said the eight-month ban on marches remains technically in force. "I HOPE to see the normal, peaceful way of doing things," the new secretary of state for Northern Ireland said in his first official statement.

Zoo Charmer Wrapped Up In Her Work act like keels, affected by the currents. To study the movement of the pack and learn what determines it, the scientists will use earth satellites, laser beams and special instruments installed under the ice by the trained swimmers. THE FROGMEN will map the under side of the base camp floe and install current meters around a keel-like pressure ridge. Acoustic beacons will be lowered to the ocean floor in an effort to keep track of the floe movement between three manned stations. Ice movement will also be studied with laser reflectors set up on towers situated at distances of about 10 miles in six directions from the base camp.

Any change in the location of these towers will be monitored by a special laser beam that can determine precision distance measurements. snake attendant at William Land Park Zoo in in marine biology.

(P) After displacing 2,748 persons from an area of Western Kentucky and Tennessee developed as a national recreation area, the Tennessee Valley Authority has decided to let the one remaining resident stay at least for the time being. "This is a special case, and we just aren't heartless enough to force him to move," said Robert Howes, manager of the Land Between the Lakes area. SANFORD CLEO Griffin, a 47- year-old disabled veteran of World War II, has refused all inducements from TVA and his family to leave.

Griffin's lonely house stands at the edge of a deep woods 14 miles south of here, just across the state line in Tennessee. The recreation area lies between Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake in the two states. Griffin, who draws a veteran's pension, lives mostly in one room of the decaying house. THERE WERE 947 families living in the area when TVA started the development in 1964. "Most of them took the money we offered and managed their own relocation," Howes said.

Court orders were used to evict some holdouts. BUT GRIFFIN refused to move, even after TVA took legal possession of his land. He said he likes to live alone and "away from people." He admits it is lonely, especially in winter when the silence is broken only occasionally by auto tires crunching on the gravel in front 1 of the house or by the roar of an airplane overhead. HE SAID thunder and lightning bother him and that he believes that is a result of wartime artillery fire. He spoke only briefly to a newsman through his locked screen door.

His brother-in-law, Bruce Whitforth of nearby Doyer, said he seldom answers his telephone. Relatives have built a house for Griffin in Dover, but he has never lived there. "WE CAN'T get him to move," Whitforth said. "I've given up even trying. I think the only way anybody is going to get him to move is bodily.

"He just likes to live by himself." WASHINGTON (7P) United Mine Workers president W. A. "Tony" Boyle has been convicted of illegally using union funds in the first federal prosecution of a labor leader for making unlawful campaign contributions. A U.S. district court jury returned guilty verdicts against Boyle Friday on each of 13 counts in an indictment that charged him with heading a conspiracy to spread $49,250 in union funds among Democrats and Republicans in the last half of the 1960's.

TWO OTHER officials of the union, secretary-treasurer John Owens and chief lobbyist James Kmetz, were found innocent of the charges against them in the indictment. An appeal was expected for Boyle whose conviction could ban him from union office, send him to prison for a total of 32 years and cost him $120,000 in fines. Boyle was released on a personal recognizance bond pending sentencing for which no date has been set. HE STRODE quickly from the courtroom after standing impassively while the verdicts were read one by one. The 67-year-old union chief only shook his head i in tightlipped silence when asked for his reaction to the outcome.

Emmett Thomas, a member of the UMW international executive board said Boyle was the victim of a smear campaign. Thomas, who said he spoke for union officers, board members and employes, said Boyle acted "solely in the interests of the men who dig coal. Not a single penny of union money was diverted to his own personal use or interest." AP) (UPI) Ethel Slowed Down Mrs. Ethel Kennedy, widow of Sen. Robert F.
