Karpov Thursday rejected an American suggestion that the World Chess Federation give Fischer until May 1 to decide whether he wants to defend his title, a federation spokesman said.

Portugal's Tourist Industry Suffers LISBON, Portugal (AP) A deluge of cancellations from foreigners fearful over Portugal's political situation is threatening the country's tourist industry, hotel operators say.

Business from Britons is down 80 per cent from last year along the Algarve coast, in the south. Cancellations have been flooding in from Swedish and Danish tour operators since the abortive military coup 10 days ago produced a sharp shift to the left by the military government Three hotel managers told a Lisbon newspaper the cancellations were due to fears of political instability. They said most of the Algarve's 60,000 hotel workers might lose their jobs and the nation much of the 3480 million In foreign exchange that tourists are estimated to have contributed to Portugal last year. Tourism also fell sharply in the first weeks after last spring's military coup toppled the old rightist dictatorship. But it recovered somewhat during the summer.

Other children play actively, but their stretched skin, running noses and orange-tinged black hair speak of malnutrition and disease.

Eight children have died in the last two months, the women said. Sam Sip strokes her year-old daughter's head but cannot stop her from sobbing in a small distant voice. She has had a fever and diarrhea for many days, says the mother. But there is no way to get medicine. "Nothing," she says.

"We get nothing." Sam Sip and other women have been selling their own and their husbands' clothing and some of their few other possesions to buy a little food. "Yesterday I sold my huv band's trousers and shirt for 500 riels (25 cents) to buy a kilo of rice (2.2 pounds)," said Chan Sary, a 33-year-old mother of four. "Now I don't have anything left to sell." Because she doesn't even have an identity card, she like most of the other women had to pay the black-market price. Rationed rice from government stores costs only eight cents a kilo. When the clothes run out and the firewood Is gone, when the people of Phnom Penh have no more money for beggars, and the market vendors outnumber the customers, the women don't know what they will do.

The women say they are starving because they don't have the documents to show they are entitled to the allowances, controlled-priee rice and other benefits of soldiers' wives or widows. As far as the Cambodian army is concerned, they don't exist. "My three children have had nothing to eat but rice soup for five duys, and today we have had nothing at ail," said Turn Kon, 28, placing her palms together in a prayer for help. The women and children, who fled the fighting around Neak Luong, have been allowed to lay their straw mats, baskets and blackened cookpots on the raw concrete at the top of the 14-year-old stadium, part of an ambitious sports center built partly with Chinese money. Only minor regional games were ever played in the sladium.

The aerie of the refugees mm Neak Luong looks down on the playing field with 60.000 seals around It on one side, and on an Olympic-size swimming pool on the other. Tattered laundry hangs the flagpoles. The grand staircase is used as a toilet.

Stench and flies cover the area and its hapless Inhabitants. i The women don't know whether they are wives or widows. Their husbands have not been heard from since mid-February, when Khmer Rouge troops overran a Mekong River island near the Neak Luong naval base 32 miles southeast of Phnoro Penh. "Only SO of the 350 men in our battalion escaped," said one woman. "In February we received only half our allowance from the army," said a private's wife with a baby in her arms and tears welling In the corners of her eyes.

Most of the women don't even have papers to prove they were married to soldiers. Marriage certificates and the like cost money, and a Cambodian private Is paid 17 to a month. "I followed my husband here in have been, moving from camp to camp ever since the war began five years ago," said Sam Sip, 14 "They left us here two months ago because they said the i righting at Neak Luong was too dangerous for us."
