These commonly held values "must be renounced in favor of new values which give priority to quality of life rather than to quantity of things," the Lutheran Church in America says in a new addition to its social credo. "Radical changes are called for in the attitudes and actions of men," it declares.

McKay did not de- cide it. I did not decide it. God decided A congregation of Mormon blacks was oreanized recently jn Salt Lake City with about 40 members. Smith was considered the church's leading historian, the- ologian and expert on the scrip- tures, which include both the Bible and the Book of Mormon.

Reyes said the game warden who picked up the deer did not give him a ticket. "But he talked pretty carefully to me about the animal. He was pretty mad when he discovered we had called the newspapers about it." The spokesman at the Parks and Wildlife Department here said an investigation would be made to see if it were true that the deer did wander onto the Reyes property. fi Low irii eon "ftp -s I ia REYES AND INJURED FAWN Wiih Fine 'f. PASADENA, Tex.

(AP) Dave Reyes, 29, thought he was doing a good deed Sunday when he found an injured fawn in the yard of his parent's home here. Reyes, who lives in Sacramento, but was visiting here, called the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to report the animal and was promptly threatened with a fine for "harboring a deer," he said. "They said I violated the law by just using the phone," Reyes said. "The fawn has a broken leg and cuts all over from run ning through the barbgd wire.

By this narrowly self-serving behavior, man "forsakes his humanity as a responsible, relational being," the church said. "Man violates his self, his fellows and the whole of creation." The church traced the ten-' dency to modern civilization's viewing of the "good life" chiefly in terms of material comforts and progress, built on assumptions that maximum profit, economic growth, and technological expansion always are good, and can solve the problem. "These old values, reflections of man's sin and ignorance, flout ecological facts and tear the fabric of interrelatedness which is of the essence of God's creation," the church said. "God so orders creation that everything in it is related to everything else," the church said, adding that when any part is harmed it affects the rest and eventually the whole. "The ecological crisis consists in the radical violation of the system God creates." Meanwhile, the church said, the economy is "running wild," with "rampaging growth" in production, consumption, sales, profits and power along with steady depletion of resources, deterioration of life's quality and increasing "pollution of air, water, soil and sound." The document was drawn up by a 14-member study commission headed by Dr.

Paul E. Lutz, a University of North Carolina biology professor, and recommended by the church's Board of Social Concerns, headed by the Rev. Dr. Charles V. Bergstrom, of Worcester, Mass.

It called for modified life styles, sensitive to the nonhu- man world and including al- tered to re. duce waste, regulate consumption and to balance production with available resources and more equitable distribution. Chess Match Start Delayed By Americans REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) The International Chess Federation postponed the start of the Bobby Fischer-Boris Spassky world championship series until Tuesday after Fischer failed to arrive in Iceland over the weekend. The American champion was believed still in New York. Fischer's 24-game match with the Russian world's champion was to have begun Sunday, and the president of the world federation, Dr.

Max Euwe, announced if the American challenger failed to show up by noon Tuesday he would risk forfeiting his chance at the title. Euwe said his personal opinion was that "there will be no play at all." The Russians reluctantly ac-thoutght of the situation, Spassky replied: "I came to play." An Icelandic chess player and longtime friend of Fischer, Freystrinn Thorberbergsson, flew to New York and said he would try to persuade Fischer to meet the Tuesday deadline. Fischer continued to hide out from newsmen in New York but was reported to have stayed until Friday at the home of friends on Long Island. Icelandic Airlines had four flights to Iceland Sunday night but said Fischer was on none of them. The airline has more flights on Monday night that would put Fischer in Reykjavik early Tuesday, about 12 hours before the deadline for him to start playing.

Fischer's representatives in Iceland requested the postponement on the grounds that he was unable to play because of fatigue. But it was generally assumed that the request was part of Fischer's campaign to get more money out of the Icelanders. Fischer and Spassky have agreed to split a $125,000 purse, with the winner taking five-eights, and are also to each get 30 per cent of the sale of film and television rights. But Fischer is seeking an additional 30 per cent of the gate receipts, and his representatives have been negotiating this point with sponsors of the match, the Icelandic Chess Federation. i in- i' is i it- if, ifr:" i a a- (4 .3 8 i ro Reyes said he was told to Lt.k am! mm Irtwrt si Finn ITO turn the animal loose to find its mother, "but it can't even walk.

It's scared and it tries to run but it keeps falling." Seven hours after Reyes called the department, a game warden came to the home and took the deer saying it would probably have to be de-stroyea because of its injuries. Reyes said two calls had to be made to the department before they would even consent to notifying a game warden about the animal. A spokesman for the Parks and Wildlife Department said SALT LAKE CITY (AP)-The man called prophet, seer and revelator by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon), President Joseph Fielding Smith has died. Smith was stricken by a heart attack Sunday night at the home of a daughter, Mrs. Bruce R.

McConkie. He would have been 96 July 19. Smith fiad addressed the last general conference of the 3-mil-lion member church in April and had not been ill. He attended a meeting in his local ward Sunday and gave a 10-minute speech at a churchwide youth conference a week earner. He was the son of another church president and a grand nephew of church founder Jo- seph Smith.

Funeral arrangements were pending. Smith's likely successor is Harold B. Lee, 73, who has been first counselor to the pres- ident and president of church's Council of The Twelve. The president of The Twelve the man who has been a member of the body the long- traditionally becomes church president. The formal selection of cessor is expected after the funeral.

His name will be announced by The Twelve. Smith's death came three days after the 142-year-old church announced a reorganization to handle its growing numbers. Statistics show it has grown 94 per cent throughout the world in the last 12 years. Smith's father, Joseph F. Smith, was the church's sixth president The 10th president was a member of The Twelve, which Mormons believe is the modern inheritor of Jesus Christ's Twelve Apostles, for 60 years before he was selected president in January 1970 upon the death of David O.

McKay. Smith traveled to England to address the church's first regional' conference in his 95th year and was to attend a similar conference in Mexico City later this year He was considered a direct link to God by Mormons, who believe their church was started by Jesus Christ, removed from the earth for some 1,800 years and restored in the United States. The church refuses to be classified as Protestant. Smith was known as an uncompromising defender 6f Mor-monism. He opposed any watering down of the religion, which has ignored ecumenism with any other faith.

Mormons are forbidden to use cigarettes, alcoholic drink, coffee and tea. Historically they have given at least 10 per cent of their income to the church. C.H.HENSON SAN ANGELO (Staff) -Services at 10 a.m. Wednesday in Johnson's Funeral Home Chapel, are slated for C. H.

Cool Fourth Is In Siore widespread shower activity and at least a few thunderstorms across northern portions of the state near and behind the slow-moving cold front. Reports of tornado sightings caused the National Weather Service to put out a long series of warnings as funnel clouds approached a number of towns. One of the latest twister alerts was in force until 5:30 a.m. for Hockley, Terry and Lynn counties.

It was posted after one of the tornadoes was spotted moving toward the town of Wolfforth from a point just to the northwest, and toward the neighboring towns of Meadow and Ropesville. Funnel clouds snaked down from dozens of thunderstorms which broke out as a cold front coursed through the north part of the Texas Panhandle and headed downstate. Showers and thunderstorms started breaking out Sunday evening at the end of a dry and generally hot day, and they were still spreading this morning toward the south past San Angelo and toward the east beyond Gainesville. Some brought briefly torrential rains. Still others cranked up early today in East Texas from around Galveston and Houston inland past Lufkin.

Official forecasts held out a prospect for today, but there was amazingly little damage. One of the twisters struck a glancing blow at the Edmondson community northwest of Plainview, breaking windows and bashing roofs of some homes, snapping power lines and felling trees. Forewarned residents took shelter and none was injured. There was similar damage in the Seth Ward community near the north edge of Plainview and farther south at Hale Center, and lightning set fire to a house at Olton in the same general area. died Saturday evening in a nursing home here, are set for 2 p.m.

India and Pakistan have accused each other of frequent violations of the cease-fire in Kashmir and along the demarcation line in the Indian 'states of Rajasthan, Gujarat and Punjab. In many places the troops are bivouacked within sight of each other. The agreement pledged adherence to the charter of the United Nations several times, including a pledge to refrain from the threat or use of force, But the bilateral settlement clause was considered a victory for the Indian position that the United Rations has no legal basis for beina in Kashmir as an observer because the December war altered the original 1949 cease-fire line.
