THE TIMES Wednesday, July 12, 6B south korea Chess Colossal Region Obituaries U. S. Ready to Renew Talk Rated 'Bearable' For Peace; Hopes Modest WASHINGTON (AP)-The United States heads back into the Vietnam peace talks Thursday amid only modest predictions here about prospects for a settlement any time soon. Secretary of State William P. Rogers, due in late today from a round-the-world trip, said before leaving Rome that he is generally hopeful the reopening Paris parley might bring some movement by a Hanoi negotiator toward ending the war.

Assistant Secretary a r-shall Green, the State Department's top Tar East expert, returned from an East Asian tour affirming that the United States will work hard for a settlement. ed to a lot of people, including Greeks, Romans, Babylonians, Arabs, Jews and even the Irish. Some say Moslem conquerors carried it all the way to Spain, whence it reached Europe. How did the Russians get so chess-minded? Who knows? In chess, the King is the target. When he cannot be moved out of the line of capture, the game is over.

It takes time and deep, deep thought. A player could, if rules allowed, think about a single move for First Came, Page 6A hours or days. In a tournament time is limited or the game would never end. Clocks must be punched after each move, which makes for wild excitement. WHITE AND Black each has 16 pieces, including the King.

Most powerful is the Queen. Her power dates back a few centuries, but before then she was the weakest. It seems to suggest something about the durability of women's lib. not neutral SEOUL (AP)-Premier Kim Jong-pil told the National Assembly today that the South Korean government rejects neutrality as the price of unification with Communist North Korea. He made the statement in a question-and-answer session on the agreement with North Korea, announced last week, to work for peaceful unification.

Kim also rejected what he called a "pink" unification formula that would compromise democracy with communism. The premier stressed that Seoul will pursue national unification in accordance with its constitution, which claims the entire peninsula under its jurisdiction. Monks Now Live In Mod Quarters PRINKNASH, England (AP) Benedictine monks at an abbey in Gloucestershire are enjoying the comforts of modern living after their ancient home underwent a facelift. The monks' cells have been centrally heated, refurnished and hot and cold water installed. It was part of a renovation for the abbey initiated after a painting in one of the chapels was sold for 280,000 pounds at a London auction.

The monks continue to produce pottery and export a unique brand of incense. By ASSOCIATED PRESS The big chess championship is under way. For the next two months or so the suspense will be incredibly bearable. The astonishing thing about the match of the century is that it has made front pages. This is probably on the dubious theory that somebody besides chess players gives a hoot whether Bobby Fischer of the United States beats Boris Spassky of Russia.

Chess is not for the ordinary working stiff. A chessplayer need not be an intellectual snob, but it helps. He has a language of his own and scorns anyone who can't fathom it. The kindly looking graybeards bent over boards in chess clubs are in reality frustrated generals playing fiercely at bloodless war and dreaming about total humiliation of the enemy. CHESS once was called the game of kings, probably because only a king had time enough to play it.

The game's origins are lost in the mists of history. It is said to have come out of India or perhaps Persia. Checkmate, as they say in English, is derived from "shah mat," or Persian for "the king is dead." Russians say "shakh-mat," Italians, "scacco mat-to," Germans, "schachmatt," Spaniards, "mate ahogado," and the French "echec et mat." The game has been attribut- ings, suspended May 4, "on the assumption that the North Vietnamese are prepared to negotiate in a constructive and serious way." Administration spokesmen have yet to disclose what evidence they may have that Hanoi intends to alter her position. They add the United States will not drop its refusal of North Vietnam's central demand for a coalition government in Saigon. The administration's main stated reasons for some optimism is because of North Vietnam's circumstances now.

Rogers noted that Hanoi's spring offensive has failed, U.S. bombing of the North is highly successful, Nixon's Moscow and Peking trips have strengthened the world climate for peace, and continuing the war serves nobody's interests. Whether the two sides will now enter into "serious" bargaining may not be quickly evident from the opening round at Paris Thursday. Negotiators often talk a lot before getting down to the hard points. The U.S.

definition of "serious" discussions, as given by officials here, means a willingness by the Vietnamese Communists to consider Nixon's cease-fire and withdrawal offer and not just insist on their seven-point plan. "But I tmnK we are aeanng, quite realistically," Green said, "with pretty hard-bitten, intransigent, struggle-minded leaders in Hanoi." President Nixon's security affairs adviser, Henry A. Kissinger, told newsmen over the weekend that "at least we have some reason to believe that maybe there will be a new approach" by North Vietnam. "But we cannot guarantee it," he said, "because it will not be certain until we have heard from them." Washington analysts have spotted no particular shift in North Vietnam's position in PRICES LOWiS EE THE AND WARDS WILL GUARANT fill MM ill the public remarks of Hanoi negotiator Xuan Thuy upon his arrival in Paris Monday. They say Hanoi's terms would mean, in effect, a communist takeover of South Vietnam.

However, Le Due Tho, the Hanoi Politburo member who has met secretly with Kissinger in the past, is reported on his way to Paris and what he says privately may or may not diverge from their public stance.

But when a street light was put outside the greenhouses, a series of experiments to help commercial producers grown round-the-year crops was in jeopardy. The garden is rosy again, however research head Allan Canham designed a tailor-made lamp shade for the bright light. ASOM' BTU Marshall Lovella M.

Kurmis, 31, faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison on each of the perjury charges.
