AS A result, the United States ranks about as poorly in world chess circles as it does in international Ping Pong competition. The Soviet Union has around four million chess players who compete in tournaments, the United States only about .25,000. Still, the unofficial world champion of chess in the mid-19th Century was Paul Morphy of New Orleans.

Since organized international compe-tion began in 1948, the Russians have had had a monopoly on the title. Not only that, all challengers in the final rounds have been Russians, too. Now, Fischer is given a slightly better than even chance of dethroning Spassky. But skeptics point out that Spassky has beaten Fischer in all five of. their previous meetings.

The two finalists jousted over a site for their showdown match, Fischer wanted Belgrade, while Spassky favored Reykjavik. A compromise under which would be played in both cities finally fell through. The entire match, consisting of a maximum of 24 games, is taking place in the Icelandic capital. As challenger, Fischer must amass 12 points to win, while Spassky needs only 12 to defend his title. Iceland may seem an odd choice for a championship sporting event of any kind.

But as chess columnist Harry lombek of The Times of London pointed out, "There is a long tradition of the popularity of chess in that country, going right back almost to the beginning of the game in Europe." 'The oldest known European set of chessmen, now on display in the British Museum, is believed to have been made in Iceland in the 12th Century. Many other countries, including India, China and Spain, also have contributed to the lore of chess. The word checkmate, signaling the end of a game, comes from the Persian phrase shah mat. Appropriately enough, it means "The king is dead." leading doctors on hundreds patients in New York, D.C. and at a medical center verified gave similar successful results in many cases.

WORSNOP Championship chess is a contest that callj for prodigious amounts of physical as well as mental exertion. To determine how much energy Is actually expended by a chess player in a tournament game, a bio-kinetic experiment was conducted at Temple University 'in 1970. Pulse, heartbeat and other physiological measurements were taken on 12 volunteers during play. The surprising result: Chess is as physically taxing as a strenuous session of boxing or football. Thus, both Bobby Fisher of the United States and Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union are keeping their bodies in fighting trim," as they engage in their world championship, chess match in Reykjavik, Iceland; The close-lipped Spassky declined to reveal details of his training program, although it is known he likes to play tennis.

Fischer's daily regimen includes morning calisthenics in front of his television followed by swimming, tennis and bowling. BY THE same token, professional football players find that chess sharpens their mental agility on the field. Ron Johnson and Bob Tucker, both of the New York Giants, are engaged in a marathon match that has been in progress for several years. But Harold C. Schonberg argues in Harper's that chess brings greater rewards: "It is an affirmation of The game requires imagination and creativity the ability to see, or sense, possibilities hidden to less refined minds." Despite the need for brawn as well as brain, chess is regarded with indifference, at best, by most Americans.

The I The needle By HAROLD COFFIN is working on a plan to give everybody in the state a college education. It might make more sense to wise 'era up. "The trouble with this scheme, young people no longer will know more than their parents. 1 Knowledge is to be transmitted to citizens via cassettes, television sets and telephones, thereby shifting unrest from the campus to the home. In the old days one of the advantages of a college education was that it kept the kids away from home for four years.

It's not the fishing or the condition of the lake that's bad, but the shores.

They're cluttered with papers, empty beer cans, and old crushed cartons from bait. Sure it's the people's fault for littering but can't the Illinois State Conservation place more trash cans around the lake. And it sure wouldn't hurt the people who fish and picnic at Powder-Horn to be considerate and place the trash in the can where it belongs. I'm 16 and if I can see the problem and what's going to happen in the future, the older people who have power surely can recognize this problem. CHRISTINE DUDA Calumet City GOP only party The Democrat convention is the saddest spectacle I have ever seen.

It should be proof to the most naive and politically ignorant working-man and taxpayer what is happening in our country. I see a once proud party giving way to the radical left.

The Times ists, welfare rights organizations and the Abbie Hoffmans, he seems like a conservative. Our country needs a strong, two party system to survive with the best government for all. In Hubert I saw the beginning of the end in McGovern I see the end. We Republicans should take heed. This is what happens to a political party whose leaders concern themselves only with their own personal power and prestige.

They must go outside the party for votes and accept any group who will support them. Eventually those same groups will destroy them. Even though the Republican Party may seem too -conservative for some, it is now the only party that truly represents the working man and the tax-payer. JOSEPH D. HARKIN Highland mayor replies I In reference to C.

Karagias' July 7 I am submitting the following re- letter, ply. A water bond issue in the amount of $750,000 was approved by the City Council of Calumet City. The water bond issue was to pay for the cost of looping and extending existing water lines to primarily serve the property in the west end of the city. It was necessary to raise the water rates in order to finance the bond issue. The bond issue was a water revenue bond, not a general obligation bond.

The water rates were also raised due to the fact that the city of Chicago raised its rates to the city of Calumet City as a purchaser. There is a water line extension being laid along Paxton Avenue on property owned by the Forest Preserve District of Cook County. This line does abutt homeowners who reside in an unincorporated' area along Paxton Avenue. However, said property owners will not be permitted to tap into said water line as long as they remain outside the corporate limits of Calumet City. Request was made by petition of said homeowners to the City Council approximately turned down at a regular council meeting.

Insofar as the statement that outsiders will benefit by the bond issue, I can only say that all of the property abutting the water extension will, of course, benefit due to the increased water pressure as well as the easier access to water lines. This, of course, in general, benefits the entire municipality by adding to the existing system and relieving overburdening of the water system. ROBERT C.

STEINCROHN: Over 10 years ago there was a fibroid tumor on my uterus. I felt no pain, but it was growing fast so I had to have a hysterectomy.

My ovaries were left intact. I'm curious to know where does the menstrual fluid go after a hysterectomy? -MRS. R. When the uterus has been removed there is no longer any menstrual fluid formed, so therefore there's no problem about "where it goes." However, this has no effect upon the normal functioning of your ovaries. They continue to secrete female hormones and keep you as normal as you were before the operation.

DEAR DR. STEINCROHN: Will you please explain what is meant by "low blood count?" MRS. M. Low blood count is a vague term. Ask your doctor what he means specifically if he has used it.

Your hemaglobin might be low. Your red blood cell count might be below normal, causing anemia of some kind or other. So might your white blood cells and blood platets be below normal. There are many factors in blood study and only your own doctor can tell you what's wrong or right. "7 Built complete on your lot Building codes Guaranteed.

But sometimes the potential weight-loss is so great that it becomes a serious medical problem. 'DEAR DR. STEINCROHN: When I married my husband seven years ago, he was 5 feet 10 and about 230 pounds. He is now 30, and weighs 425 pounds, give or take a dozen. He has a size 81 waist, and luckily for him, I can sew most of his clothes, since he can't buy them anywhere.

I have to tie his shoelaces, since he can't bend down. The only place we can go is to drive-ins, since he can't fit into a theater seat. As a matter of fact, I have to do the driving, too, because he has long since been unable to fit behind the steering wheel. The problem is, he refuses to believe it is bad for him. He went to a doctor a year ago, but refuses to return.

He is getting closer to 500 month by month. I have heard there is a simple operation that can be performed on the intestines to prevent fat absorption. And that it is always successful. Do you recommend it? Anything else? MRS. H.

All Day to Removal of a segment of the intestine has been effective in some obese patients; however, it is not always the simple procedure, or invariably effective as you make it out to be. I would suggest a more conservative approach. Consult with a doctor who is a specialist in glandular and excess weight problems. Your husband will need hospitalization. He may be put on a starvation diet for a number of weeks, with careful laboratory control.

But like a chronic alcoholic, a chronic weight-gainer will have to give the Dr. Peter Steincrebtt doctor complete cooperation. Unless your husband really wants to lose, I doubt that any method of treatment will help. Meanwhile, his excess weight will ultimately be open invitations to threats by diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney or heart disease. The first step is the most important.

See that he consults with the right kind of doctor. Not next month, next year but this week, if possible. (Meanwhile, I suggest you send for my booklet, "Watch Your Diet Because 165th end Columbia Hammond WE 2-2348 Frte Parking -Our 79th Ytar-IitablUhed 1 893.
