About 40 demonstrators, rep-r a seat lag several protest groups, left quietly after police refused to let them place a S-by-S-foot piece of plywood strewn with hibiscus flowers in a canal as part of the funeral for Nguyen Thai Binh.

In Washington, Humphrey's campaign manager. Jack Chestnut, demanded that McGovern fire or repudiate Rick Stearns, his top delegate counter, who was quoted as saying that, if Humphrey wins the nomination, McGovern should organize a third party to "punish" Humphrey. Talk of punishment of the Democratic party is irresponsible and childish blackmail and cant be tolerated," Chestnut said in a statement. Stearns was quoted in Knight newspapers interview. The candidates and most of the delegates to next week's convention wont reach this sweltering beach resort until later this week, but Democratic party officials are already on hand working out logistical tangles.

One dispute was settled when party leaders yielded in the face of a threatened cutoff of air-conditioning in the convention hall, and agreed to give the city of Miami Beach 17 per cent of the revenues from food sales. They said prices would be raised to cover the 17 per cent payment. As a result, telephone workers will be able to go back to work installing facilities in the hall. They bad refused to work when the temperature soared to 120 degrees after City Manager Clifford O'Key cut off the air-conditioning. See PROTESTS, Page U.S.

The Russian title-holder launched bis counterattack Tuesday with a stern protest, some sharp criticism, a walkout and a demand for a two-day postpone ment of the start of the match with American Bob by Fischer.

Fischer slept through it aU. He had arrived in the morning from New York and went straight to bed to rest up for the first game, set for p.m. When Fischer woke up he found that the title series was put off until Thursday at the earliest. It was to have begun last Sunday. Summing up the day, Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation, said: "When Spassky is here Fischer doesn't come.

As soon as Fis- comes, Spassky runs away." The Russians turned up in force at noon for what was to be a drawing of lots to decide who would play white, and have the first move, in the opener. They refused to draw with Fischer's second, a Roman Catholic priest, the Rev. William Lombardy, and read a statement calling Fischer's de. laying holdout intolerable. They protested Euwe's decision to tolerate it.

When Fischer failed to appear Sunday as he should have, Euwe allowed him until noon Tuesday to show up in Reykjavik or forfeit his shot at Spassky. Fischer's refusal to come by Sunday was based on a dispute with the organizers over money. See CHESS, Page 3 some of the smaller middle-road factions appears to assure Tanaka of victory. If Tanaka becomes prime minister, Japan may well take bold steps to bring about diplomatic recognition of Peking, beginning with scrapping of the peace treaty with Nationalist China and negotiation of a new one with the mainland. A victory for Tanaka also would spell the end of an era in Japanese political life in which a succession of bureaucrats had wielded power.

Fukuda, like Sato, is a product of the government bureaucracy, having- risen to his present eminence through the tried and true avenue of the Finance Ministry. Tanaka, a self-made man, jumped into politics from a successful career in the construction business. Whoever becomes prime minister will have to face a general election, either late this year or early in 1973, when his policies will be subjected to public scrutiny. The one-day party convention has as its ostensible primary business the election of a new party president; in fact, the president automatically becomes the prime minister. A special Diet meeting Thursday will make it official.

The Diet is Japan's parliament. The convention has been give a sense of urgency by the gravity of international and domestic problems which have piled up in recent months.

The UDA said its barricades will stay up around three areas of the city until the Irish Republican Army- guerrillas remove their barricades from Londonderry.

But five Arab states that broke relations with Washington after the 1967 Arab Israeli war remain hostile. Over the weekend, North Yemen became- the first Arab Link They informed me of their position and mentioned a number of suggestions," he said. "I informed the South Korean gov ernment." The top-rung negotiations were the first such contact re ported between the two govern ments since the 1950-53 Korean War that took two million lives, including 54,246 Americans fighting fortffe South.

The con flict endedin an armistice July 28, 1953, alMaJhe two Koreas still are officios at war, with even mail exchange severed. A Japanese colony from 1910 through World War Korea was divided into U.S. and Soviet occupation zones after the de feat of Japan. The zones be came separate republics in 1948. The first friendly contact be tween the nations began last September when Red Cross offi cials of North and South Korea opened talks to arrange comma nications between divided fami lies, involving an estimated 10 million persons.

The govern ments agreed to cooperate in bringing the talks to successful conclusion. In reaching the accord, the two Koreas may have decided to back away from military con frontation for military reasons country to resume ties with the United States since the war. Sudan President Jaafar el Nu-mairi said he was seriously considering the same move. In both cases, the apparent reason is money. North Yemen, a small nation on the southwest comer of the Arabian peninsula, is broke, and has not received much help from the Arab oil states.

A U.S. aid program in North Yemen will be resumed. www Numairt, who turned back a Communist-led coup last sum mer, said the United States had extended $18 million in relief and credit to help South Sudan recover from its long civil war which was settled earlier this year. A comment in the author itative Cairo newspaper Al Ah-ram underscored the hostility of the five Arab states that have not resumed relations with Washington. The paper accused North Ye men and Sudan of "selling out the Arab cause in return for several million American dol lars." It called for the 18-nation Arab League to "protect member states from unilateral moves which could lead to serving American-Israeli objec tives in the Middle East." North Yemen's president, Ab dul Rahman el Iryani, told Arab states he was resuming rela tions with the United States be cause his countryhad financial troubles and they bad done little to alleviate them.

SEOUL (AP) South and North Korea opened a hot line between their capitals Tuesday in a move for reconciliation between two governments that have been sworn enemies for the past quarter-century. North Korea called for the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the South. The direct phone link between Seoul, South Korea' captial, and Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, was the outcome of a recent round of secret high-level negotiations. Simultaneous announcements in both cities said the accord provides for a joint political committee to open exchanges in many fields and to promote unification of North and South through peaceful means without outside interference.

The two governments also agreed to refrain from armed provocations and from slandering or defaming each other. www The two sides agreed to install the hot line "in order to prevent the outbreak of unexpected military incidents and to deal directly, promptly and accurately with problems" arising between them, the announcement said. The agreements were reached at meetings In Pyongyang May 2-5 and Seoul May 29-June 1. The governments' top leaders, President Chung Hee Park of South Korea and North Korean premier and Communist party chief Kim D-sung, took part U.N. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim announced in Geneva that he acted as a go-between.

Waldheim said he made contact with North Korean representatives during visit to Vienna last March. BULLETIN TOKYO (AP) The ruling Liberal-Democratic Party Wednesday elected Kakuei Tanaka, 54, its president and new prime minister of Japan in a break with past policies of dependence on the United States and aloofness to China. TOKYO (AP) A maverick who bucked Japan's establishment appears to be the t-runner in the Liber al-Democratic party's selection Wednesday of a successor to Prime Minister Eisaku Sato. The 478 party electors are chosing from among Foreign Minister Takeo Fukuda, 67; the minister of international trade and industry, Kakuei Tanaka. 54; and former foreign ministers Taken Miki, 65, and Masa-yoshi Ohira, 62.

The latter two may hold the key to the outcome but are not themselves considered likely to win. Fukuda is Sato's man and is considered most likely to continue Sato's cautious policies. Fukuda started off strong after the prime minister announced on June 17 he was stepping down, but since then Tanaka has gained ground spectacularly and is regarded as the favorite. Both Miki and Ohira have agreed with Tanaka that their votes will go on the second, sudden-death ballot, to the one among them with the most votes the first time around. This, plus the announced allegiance of Vlt aVteawawAv North and South Korea agreed Tuesday to end hostilities and eventually re-unify their countries.

Most shelters were built during the era of the Cuban missile crisis 10 years ago this autumn. Contractors did a booming business but as the urgency of protection fell off so did the fallout shelter trade. "The number of inquiries since the Cuban situation has tapered off very rapidly," said Kenneth LaTourette, the state Civil Defense operations officer said in Trenton.
