ll THE HOME NEWS NEW BRUNSWICK. THURSDAY, JULY (, 1678 Activists Get Miami Beach Campsite; Predict Nonviolence a 7A the city with mud on my name." The protesters had originally requested the use of Flamingo Park for a campsite but were told it would be available only as a staging area. They were offered two alternate sites in Miami but turned them down as being too far away. Abernathy also warned last night that if the Democratic party refused to accept 730 poor people as national convention delegates they would crash the 'gathering and take the seats. "If they don't give us scats we are going to take them," Abernathy told 300 persons attending a welfare rights fied the council's 5 2 vote against the camp permit 11 days ago.

"I'm very pleased with the decision, said the Rev. Ralph David Abernathy of the Southern Christian Leadership Caucus. "It shows that change can take place within the democratic process and I think everyone will respect our philosophy of nonviolence." Abernathy said hsi conference and two coalition groups, the National Tenants Association and the National Welfare Rights Organization, will build a tent city Resurrection City II in Flamingo Park, the only area where camping will be permitted. He promised cooperation saying, "I will not leave MIAMI BEACH. Fla.

Police and demonstrators alike predicted next week's Democratic National Convention should be more peaceful as a result of the City Council's decision to let protest groups camp in a public park. Within an hour yesterday after the council reversed an earlier ban on campsites, more than 100 young people moved into the 36 acre Flamingo Park five blocks from where the Democrats will nominate their presidential candidate. The young people began to set up tents and roll out sleeping bags while some took their first showers in days at park facilities. "We brlieve that with a controlled site we will be better able to control law and order," week to demonstrate in behalf of poor people. He asked the council to approve Flamingo Park so his group, along with the National Welfare Rights Organization and the National Tenants Association, could build Resurrection City II named after the shanty town set up during a Washington, D.C., demonstration in May 1970.

The park is a complex of lush foliage, walking trails, tennis and handball courts and soft-ball diamonds. Most of the objection to its use as a campsite came from nearby residents. The 4 vote came after nearly nine hours of often heated debate in which everyone from a young homosexual in drag clothing to an elderly man in sneakers participated.

We're going to unite for social change," said Rene Davis, a Chicago 7 defendant. More than 200 young people representing diverse groups from Vietnam Veterans Against the War to Gay Activists danced, shouted and waved banners to proclaim their victory following the council's 4 2 vote to provide a campsite in Flamingo Park. The action reversed a 5 2 vote two weeks ago in which the council refused to grant the camping area. The issue was reinstated at the insistence of Mayor Chuck Hall, who said the welfare and safety of Miami Beach's 87,000 residents and convention visitors could depend on a favorable vote. Specifically, Flamingo Park was alloted to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference to act as an "umbrella group" for other protest groups.

The Rev. Ralph David Abernathy, head of the SCLC, told the council Wednesday that he expected about 500 of his followers in Miami Beach next board with Fischer. But international chess chief Max Euwe proposed another delay last night in the Bobby Fischer Boris Spassky world championship match as the manuevering and confusion continued in Reykjavik. There was no immediate response from Fischer or the Russians, and it was not known whether the twice-postponed match would start today. Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation, said he didn't penalize Fischer for his late arrival in Iceland because the American challenger is "living in another world." He said Spassky, the Russian world title holder, was "very upset" and that he would like to give him another week before the first game.

Euwe also admitted he had violated the rules in allowing two previous postponements in the start of the match. He promised strict rule enforcement in the future. The 24 game series between Fischer and Spassky had been scheduled to start Sunday. Fischer stayed in New York, holding out for more money, and Euwe postponed the start of the match until Tuesday. Fischer arrived that day, but the Russians objected to his conduct and Euwe put the start off until today.

Fischer apologized Wednesday for delaying the start of the match, but the Russians demanded apologies in writing. Then they demanded that Fischer forfeit first game. The American's apology, read by a spokesman at a news conference, said: "We are REYKJAVIK. Iceland 'AP) Bobby Fischer cleared the way today for the start of the world chess championship match with a written apology to Boris Spassky for his "disrespectful behavior." Fischer's letter was delivered by hand to the Soviet world cnampion this morning. Fischer, whose delayed arrival doubled the prize money for both him and Spassky but also started an avalanche of confusion, asked the Russian to "accept my sincerest apology." "I simply became carried away by my petty dispute over money with the Icelandic chess organizers," he wrote.

The written apology from the American challenger was one of the chief conditions posed by the Russians before Spassky would sit down at the chess ll vrtr rt sorry the world championship was delayed. The problems causing the delays were not with world champion Spassky whom I respect as a man and admire as a player. "If Grandmaster Spassky or the Soviet people were inconvenienced or discomfited, I am indeed unhappy, for I had not the slightest intention of this occurring." Later Yefim Geller, the Soviet grandmaster acting as Spassky's second, told another news conference the Russians wanted Euwe to condemn the American's conduct and accept blame himself for violating the federation's rules. He said Spassky would go home if the demands were not met. Euwe came forward and condemned Fischer, conceed he himself has broken the rules and added: "I apologize." Model TV 12 Only 23 inches Wide!

Soviets Demand U.S. Ouster From Guantanamo Naval Base The statement was immediately followed by a Soviet declaration to continue "all-round assistance to Cuba in the construction of a Socialist society, in strengthening the country's defense capacity and defending its revolutionary gains." This meant that Moscow apparently will keep on supplying economic and military aid to bolster the Cuban economy and increase the size of Castro's military forces. The 44-year-old Cuban leader boarded a plant in the Byelorussian capital of Minsk after an overnight visit there. He left Moscow Wednesday. Communist sources said Castro would make a short stopover in Morocco today en route to Havana, presumably for MOSCOW (AP) The Soviet Union to-day demanded the "unconditional withdrawal" of the U.S.

naval base at Guantanamo Bay and pledged to continue supplying massive economic and military aid to Fidel Castro's Communist regime. The Kremlin demand was made in a joint Soviet-Cuban communique published today as Castro left the Soviet Union for home after an 11-day visit. "The Soviet leaders have once again stated that the Soviet Union resolutely condemns the economic and political blockade of Cuba conducted by the United States," the communique declared. There must be an "unconditional withdrawal of the American Guantanamo naval base, which, contrary to the sovereign will of the Cuban people, exists on Cuban territory," it added. fflSi Jfi I hi IT'S THE INTEREST RATE THAT MAKES IT GROW .1 4STERIN Regular Sauing 3 IX ill!
