3 17 FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 7, 1972 103rd YEAR 0c MC WMt Ctnm Dtlioire 'Pssf, Bon's: Hoosier Won for Western Electric, who lost to Fischer in the 1964 match. "Fischer smashed me in about 20 moves," Lindenborg said. How will Fischer do against the older Russian? Lindenborg and Makutenas are confident Bobby will win. "I think he'll win hands down, if he doesn't get mentally upset," Lindenborg said. "I think he's going to win because he's younger and more aggressive," added Makutenas.

Both men feel the publicity of the match will benefit chess lovers in Indiana and throughout the U.S. "Chess is a discipline, and kids need this game along with sports like basketball," Lindenborg said. By PHILIP ALLEN Even if Bobby Fischer loses to Boris Spassky in the world championship match next week in Reyjavik, Iceland, Fischer already has captured the imagination of Hoosier "wood pushers." With all the pregame publicity, Fischer has popularized the ancient game that stresses intuitive ability, concentration and a powerful memory. But the American grandmaster won't lose the match, contend several Hoosiers who are "following the game." And they're not speaking vicariously. They played the high-school dropout chess genius at the hall of the Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 1504, 6501 Massachusetts, in 1964.

Fischer, 21 then, played 50 games simultaneously and he beat all but two opponents. Other Stories on Page 21 "I won in 14 moves," Makutenas said today when asked about the meet sponsored by the Western Electric Chess Club. "I think I won because I prepared to play his game, the king's gambit variation, and that's what Fischer played." Makutenas says he would like to play Fischer again, not individually, but in another simultaneous game situation. A check by The News showed retail sales of chess sets have increased in the city and an industrial chess league has-been established. But the real enthusiasm generated by "the game" is among "wood pushers" like George Lindenborg, a chemist LWjbBbl LLU Bp Joe Couperous, 7545 E.

1 On McGovern VP List Field of weeds, not road, leads to new concrete bridge. Bridge To Nowhere Irks Southwest Hills ByCARLLEUBSDORF MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) Sen. Edward M. Kennedy still will have "first refusal" on the vice-presidential nomination if Sen.

George McGovern captures the Democratic presidential nod, sources close to the South Dakota senator said today. Despite Kennedy's repeated statements he won't be available, the offer probably will be made because polls show he would strengthen a Mc-Govern-led ticket, the source said. The sources discounted the value of polls ordered by McGovern on other possible running mates, declaring it is impossible to measure the value of possible candidates who are not so well known, such as Govs. Reubin Askew of Florida and Dale Bumpers of Arkansas. Both have been mentioned by McGovern as leading possibilities.

Activity in this steaming Democratic National Convention city, which has been limited this week to advance logistical preparations by the candidates and a half-dozen protest groups, picked up today. Most of the major presidential candidates except McGovern flew here to start wooing arriving delegates in their bid to overtake McGovern. Sens. Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota, Edmund S.

Muskie of Maine and Henry M. Jackson of Washington, Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace and Rep. Wilbur D.

Mills of Arkansas arrived today. McGovern is due tomorrow afternoon. With the convention to start Monday night, two major credentials cases that involve 151 McGovern delegates from California and 59 Illinois delegates led by Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley remained in a legal limbo. Chief Justice Warren E.

Burger extended indefinitely yesterday a delaying order in the case so he could consult with his eight Supreme Court colleagues on whether to call a special session to consider appeals in the two cases. The U.S. Circuit Court in Washington ruled Wednesday that the party's Credentials Committee had acted illegally in voting to replace the 151 McGovern delegates from California with representatives of his rivals in proportion to their vote in the state's June 6 primary. At the same time, the court reject AND STILL KING OF 'SURFACES ed Daley's appeal from the Credentials Committee decision that turned his seats over to a challenging group. Democratic party lawyers asked Burger yesterday to convene the court for what would be only its fourth special session.

They said the Circuit Court's ruling would "very likely" make the Federal judiciary the convention kingmaker. The two cases are crucial, especially the California one, in McGovern's quest for victory on the first ballot. Including the 151 California votes, the Associated Press count shows McGovern with 1,454.65 first ballot votes just 54.35 short of the 1,509 needed for the nomination. 'Fight On Floor' Failure to retain the 151 votes, through court rulings or convention action, would leave McGovern more than 200 votes away from the nomination, a far more difficult hurdle to overcome. The AP count shows Humphrey a distant second with 398.55; Wallace with 367; Muskie with 219.55 and 425.65 uncommitted.

The rest are scattered.

Indianapolis area units will leave between 8 and 10 a.m. tomorrow and will travel on 1-69 to the Michigan border. Other convoys will use U.S.

Actual field combat conditions will be simulated at the training session, which will include infantry and artillery training and equipment and weapons maintenance. Guardsmen will return by convoy July 22-23. THE PRIDE pride only as a last resort-after five younger and stronger lions were mauled one by one by the fussy lionesses.

His success as a lover made him a national sex symbol. He was honored in Congress. He was called "Father of the Year." A few persons even cast their votes for "Frasier for President" in the California primary. Business at the park where he prowls for the public boomed 22 per cent.

Violators, who have disregarded police warnings to pay tines and whose cars cannot be found, face immediate arrest and a possible suspended driver's license, said Lt.

Richard Paul, of the traffic branch. Paul has been named by Deputy Chief George Pollard to head the police drive to clear up the city's parking violation situation. Traffic officials have estimated more than 100,000 city parking tickets have been ignored by motorists some dating back more than two years. Three cars, owners of which owe nearly $200 in fines, were towed to storage yesterday. The vehicles were found in the 300 block of North Pennsylvania and 300 block of East Ohio, and at 1400 West 10th.

Police also contacted more than 20 motorists regarding unpaid fines. Each person notified will be checked a couple of days later against a list of fine payments in the Traffic Violations Bureau. Paul said if the fines are not paid, the cars will be towed in by private contractors to storage lots. Owners of cars not found will be subject to arrest and court appearances, Paul said. "Motorists not appearing in court will face a suspended driver's license for up to a year," Paul said.

Police said more than 300 persons are on the current list of repeated parking violators, who owe $40 or more in tickets. Costs, in addition to what they owe on tickets, include $10, if their car is impounded, and $2 per day storage fee. Meanwhile, officials in the Traffic Violations Bureau have reported a "brisk business" since the campaign started last week. One man paid $260 in overdue ticket fines shortly after the crackdown was ordered. Other amounts paid have ranged from $150 to $40, officials said.

Traffic tickets may be paid on the first floor of police headquarters, 50 N. Alabama, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m.

Saturday. Doubts tism, arthritis and a sorrowful case of bleary eyes. Just before the fears arose that Frasier might be through, a doubting reporter spent a whole day watching the Frasier phenomenon. By the time the sun went down, the venerable lion had mated 22 times. "And each time, you'd think it was his last," said a spokesman for Lion Country Safari, where Frasier roams in a compound with 1,500 other animals.

"But he really doesn't have much choice. No sooner does he finish and fall asleep with his feet sticking straight up and his tongue hanging in the dirt, than one of the lionesses begins seducing him." And then there was a string of good news. One of Frasicr's first cubs sired his own youngster, making the old patriarch a grandfather. Not to be outdone, two of Frasicr's wives suddenly turned up In the maternity ward. In his honor, a whisky manufacturer created the "Frasier." Its ingredients? Simply a shot of Old Grandad mixed with passion fruit.

I completing the bridge, decided to change plans concerning land located between the bridge and Troy. Before the road, which was estimated to cost in excess of $150,000, could be built, definite plans had to be made for the land. Residents, in disgust that they were facing months, maybe years of red tape, gave up on getting their road and discontinued group meetings. "We won something, the bridge, and it looks beautiful sitting out there all alone, but people lost faith that they would get the road and gave up," Larry Fulkerson, who headed the group, said today. "The kids love it (the bridge) for a play thing," he said.

But not all is lost. Harold Nelson, of Cloverlcaf Development said today that although residents were told the road would be completed this summer, and now it won't be, the firm still is planning the road. "We didn't build the bridge with money out of our pocket to let it just stand there. It is our intention to do right by the people and build the road, but it may be a year or more. We just need time to complete plans for what will be built on the land between the bridge and Troy," said Nelson.

It was believed Rogers explained to Kadar the Nixon administration's reasons for agreeing to take part in a European security conference next year. TEL AVIV Israeli newspapers reported today that CONSTANTIN DUMI- VTRACHESCU, a senior Romanian diplo By SKIP HESS Southwest Hills subdivision home owners said today they must have the only concrete bridge monument in the United States, but they'd just as soon the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce not list it as a tourist attraction. The home owners are being somewhat cynical when they speak of the "monument," which is a concrete bridge for which there is no road. Or as Los Angeles Times columnist Jim Murray once said about the St. Louis Gateway Arch, "It doesn't do anything.

It just stands there." Southwest Hills residents are saying the same thing about their bridge which was completed this spring on the north side of the subdivision, located at 3600 Kentucky along Ind. 67. Road Was Planned Construction of the bridge began last October and plans were at that time to build a road from Southwest Hills to Troy Avenue. Reason for the bridge was that there had to be something to span a creek between the subdivision and Troy. Mayor Richard G.

Lugar and other city officials, along with subdivision representatives of Cloverlcaf Development Co. and about 30 residents, were there for the ground-breaking ceremonies. The ground-breaking affair supposedly was proof to the residents a road would be built from Southwest Hills to Troy. Subdivision home owners had been complaining for three years that the only access road to Southwest Hills was across Penn Central tracks which run parallel to Ind. 67.

Tenn Central trains blocked the access road sometimes for as long as two hours. Residents feared that should there be reason for emergency equipment to get to one of their 70 homes, or Lynwood Elementary School and its 500 pupils, it would be impossible should a train have the only access road blocked. The subdivision residents formed a Citizens in Action for Southwest Hills group, pressured development representatives and city officials to act on a second road and last October, with construction of the bridge under way, they thought their road was only months away. Thcv were to be disappointed Cloverlcaf Construction after Frasier Removes All IRVINE, Calif. (UPI)-Frasier the Lion may not look like it, but he is well.

His fans were worried for a while. Nothing had happened for more than two months, and people were beginning to wonder. Had the charm disappeared? And what about the energy? Had Frasier lost his touch? Not so. But the doddering old beast, which has fathered 33 cubs in less than a year and a half, had his human friends on edge for a while. For 2Vi months there were no new cubs.

But then Frasier became a grandfather and Frasier, not to be outmatched, fathered two more cubs of his own. Frasier heads a pride of 11 lionesses. Even during his inactivity, they still pranced about, purring contentedly and catering to their patriarch. They still fetched his food and placed lt at his feet, and propped him up when Frasier took a hankering to stroll about. Frasier had asiimcd control of the ferr varying degrees from rheuma 3.
