Key clauses that prompted criticism were amended, and there was confidence on both sides that the treaty could be signed early this summer.

American sources concede that Swiss officials in several meetings made all-out efforts to win industry and banking support. But they have run into renewed resistance since spring, and one influential industry source said today the draft is still "completely unacceptable." He said Swiss business wants new talks next year. One criticism frequently made is that the present draft is lopsided in favor of the United States and would give it sweeping rights in a country where many American com- which does not have such legislation. The chief source of concern fo the provision rated most important by the Americans. It would oblige Swiss banks and authorities to cooperate with the U.S.

government and open now-secret bank records when there are "reasonable grounds" to assume that organized crime is involved. The secrecy that to depositors Is one of the most attractive features of the Swiss banking system could be set aside on suspicion of actions that are criminal in the United States but not in Switzerland, such as tax evasion. At present, Swiss law allows bank secrecy to be breached only after a criminal complaint is filed in Switzerland. One chief opponent of the draft said that while there is sympathy for American efforts to combat crime syndicates, this clause could be invoked against persons accused of "political crimes, throwing overboard decisive principles of the Swiss legal system." He added that Switzerland as a neutral company would be obliged to grant the same rights to all other countries. American sources termed these arguments largely "irrational." They said that it ap- Gared resistance to the treaty rdened in the wake of the Clifford Irving-Howard Hughes biography fraud, in which living's wife took $650,000 that McGraw-Hill Publishing Co.

paid for delivery to Hughes and deposited it to accounts she opened in Swiss banks under aliases. These sources said they thought the Swiss were incensed by the efforts of American officials to get them to grant Mrs. Irving immunity in exchange for her cooperation with the American investigation. In addition, a U.S. federal indictment of the Irvings charged that one Swiss bank had acted incorrectly, a claim rejected by the top Swiss investigator.

"We assume that this made the Swiss furious, particularly the banks and some sections of the industry," one American source commented. BERN, Switzerland (APj -The proposed U.S.-Swiss treaty that the Nixon administration considers a vital weapon against organized crime has run into stiff new opposition from influential Swiss banking and industrial circles. It is now certain to be delayed until next year, and speculation is growing that it may never take ef- feet. After four years of negotiations, officials of the two governments agreed last December on the draft of a complex "judicial assistance treaty," more than 100 pages long, thai Black Envoy Assigned To South Africa WASHINGTON (AP) The State Department has made good on a promise and assigned James E.

Iceland (AP) Bobby Fischer lost the draw Thursday night, giving Boris Spassky the first move, and the world championship chess match will finally start next Tuesday. Unless the American challenger or the Soviet champion pleads illness and gets another postponement. The confusion of the past 'week was summarized by the woman selling cigarettes who asked in the beginning: "Fischer come?" Near the end it was: "Spassky go?" "I'm very pessimistic," Dr.

Ilax Euwe said at 10 a.m. At noon: "It's a very delicate situation." At 7 p.m., the president Of the International Chess Federation sighed: "There's hope." That was Tuesday. It could have been any day in the garbled prelude to what chess lovers say is the match of the century Spassky of the U.S.S.R. vs. Fischer of the U.S.A.

Spassky arrived early to wait for Bobby. Saving "I came to play," he philosophically accepted the first postponement when Fischer didn't show. Later he demanded an apology or he wouldn't play. Fred Cramer, who advanced a slender claim to represent Fischer and called a lot of news conferences, forecast like a man who ought to know: "I cant see Bobby apologizing." The letter began: "Dear Boris: Please accept my since-rest apology for my disrespectful behavior At another news conference, one of Fischer's lawyers said he'd come to say he had nothing to say. Yeflm Geller, Spassky's second, fielded questions with: "Kak Gavarit po Angliskl," or as you say in English, "No comment" The Rev.

William Lombardy, a Franciscan priest and avid chess player, told another session of the newsmen: "Money is putting chess on the map, because money makes the world go round." Then there's the "Eavesdropper," a man approaching middle age with a shock of graying hair combed in careful disarray onto his forehead. ese critics argue that the BOBBY FISCHER Losing The Draw treaty would even permit American antitrust proceedings to be carried into Switzerland, YOUR HOROSCOPE By Oswald James Jacoby South finds himself in four hearts after the Poppa-Momma sequence of one heart-two hearts-three hearts-four heflrts Not that the bidding wasn't reasonable. North's two-heart call is eminently sound and he is entitled to go on to four after his partner's re-bid. There is some question about that rebid by South but the contract is a reasonable one and it looks as if South will bring It home if he plays West for the ace of trumps and East for the queen. We will never find out if South would have made the winning play in the trump suit because he never got a chance to guess.

West started by playing ace-king and a third spade. South ruffed and led his jack of trumps and West clattered right up with the ace. Wasn't that a give-up play? Not at all! West led a fourth spade and there was no way for South to shut out East's queen of trumps. What about West's whole play? It was excellent. West could see that his side was not going to collect any tricks in clubs or diamonds.

His only chance was to find East with the trump queen and he had taken full opportunity of that possibility. man announced Thursday that Baker, a 37-year-old career foreign service officer, has been assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Pretoria, where he will be economic and commercial officer. Other black American diplomats and diplomatic couriers have served on a temporary basis in South Africa, but spokesman Charles W.
