TRIBUNE, Friday, July 7, 1972 10-A a oviet Pressure China, Quang Tri Offensive Qn Viet Discounted 4 EVER SINCE Soviet President Nikolai V. Podgorny visited Hanoi and U.S. presidential adviser Henry A. Kissinger traveled to Peking in June, Western diplomats have speculated that Russia and China may separately be urging North Vietnam to make a peace settlement. But they doubt the two competing Communist nations would expose themselves to charges of betraying North Vietnam by appearing to turn on Hanoi so close to the re sumption of the Paris peace talks, set for ne.d week.

THE DIPLOMATS also noted there is no sign Chm3 arms and other military aid the one sector where Moscow and Peking could reinforce any advice urging a settlement. Informants said reports of China sending new contingents of engineers and roadmenders into North Vietnam to repair bomb damage are inconsistent with the idea that Peking is urging Hanoi to come to a quick settlement. y.

Huntley said the paratroopers were waiting for the 13,000 reinforcements before trying to occupy the northern half of the city.

Those reinforcements were slowed down during the day five miles east of the city by Communists using two captured M48 American-built tanks. UPI reporter Ken Wagner said the Communists outgunned the Saigon reinforcements, who were supported by lighter M41 tanks, but that the battle ended when both sides withdrew from the area. South Vietnamese' officers said captured Communist sol-, diers told them ther were two companies of North Vietnamese in the northern half of town and more than 10,000 Communists hiding out in the rice fields and plains west of Quang Tri City. UPI correspondent Barney Seibert said the Communists hit Hue with 127 artillery rocket and mortar rounds during the day, but that initial reports indicated only one person was wounded in the shelling. Seibert said the casualties were low because more than half of the North Vietnamese rounds were duds.

ALLIED ia Hue, which has been shelled by the Communists for the past five days, have expressed concern about a possible North Viet-' namese drive against the city while most of its defense forces are fighting to the north in Quang Tri Province. A total of 20,000 Saigon troops crossed the My Chan River defense line into Quang Tri Province June 28, leaving only 10,000 infantrymen be- hind to defend Hue.

Misch said Ford has spent $25 million on pollution controls, at Rouge since 1963 and buiftVa new foundry at Flat Rock to remove the air-fouling foundry operation by the end of the year. Morton Sterling, director of the air pollution agency, said, the court action was taken against Ford because ''we've been seeing a tightening in resistance" in the company's willingness to solve pollution problems.

"WE HOPE that Ford will start to listen better now, Sterling said, paraphrasing the company's advertising slogan. The air pollutants from the Rouge, the suit charges, are "obnoxious, offensive, damaging and harmful and the source of dirt and filth." The suit charges that the fallout from Ford's complex exceeds the maximum federal emission standards by 3.3 times on a daily basis, and 2.5 times on yearly standards. Some tests show that dust and dirt and corrosive gas levels are as high at 5.7 times the permissible level. Talks Resume MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (UPI) Representatives for Northwest Airlines and the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) resumed negotiations yesterday in an effort to settle a six-day-old strike.

The pay raises for most of the state's 70,000 workers will not be affected by the delay, he said. The board said last week that raises averaging not more than 5.5 per cent can be implemented for state workers, but delayed a decision on the full benefit package including insurance and area wage differentials.

CONN. About race Pv and LONDON in Western diplomats said yesterday there is no evidence to suggest that China and Moscow, are exerting any effective pressures on Hanoi to negotiate a settlement in Vietnam, despite the Asian missions U.S. and Soviet officials last month. Spokesmen for the Soviet and Chinese embassies here declined formal comment on a report that their governments have been" pressing North Vietnamese leaders to end the war soon. WESTERN diplomats with missions in Moscow, Peking and Hanoi discounted the report, which sent prices skyrocketing on the New York Stock Exchange.

Prices surged ahead 13.55 points in active trading before noon but later receded, when the report received no confirmation. A Russian official in Britain said privately that any authoritative statement relating to Soviet policy on Vietnam would not be made in London but in Moscow. "No member of the Chinese mission could conceivably discuss Peking's dealings with Hanoi in this way," said a source close to the Chinese Embasy.

The Russians say Spassky probably wouldn't accept a forfeiture.

"I know you to be a sportsman and a gentleman, and I am looking forward to some exciting chess games with you," Fischer concluded. The1 letter was the second apology Fischer had offered Spassky in as many days. In a statement read to the press Wednesday Fischer said he was "sorry" the match had been delayed and that Spassky had been "inconvenienced." This acceptance of responsibility was apparently not enough to satisfy the Russian. THE NOTE to Spassky, couched irt conciliatory language, began: "Please accept my sin-cerest apology for my disrespectful behavior in not attending the opening ceremony July 1. I simply became carried, away by my petty dispute over money with the Icelandic chess organizers." Described Wednesday as being "very upset" by the tangled prelude to the match, Spassky appeared calm and fit yesterday as he played his daily round of tennis with Russian companion Jivo Nei.

joked with photographers, signed autographs for kids and demonstrated that the postponement had allowed him to improve his tennis game. Fischer remained out of view, apparently sleeping, at one of the hideaways provided him by the organizers. said Miss MacDonald. "Peer pressure is the only thing that is going to take the kids off drugs. "Churches aren't doing any good at all.

They provide another recreation place where the kids can sell drugs and get stoned." SALLY PACE said the antidrug programs she had experienced in schools were "unreal." "I knew more about drugs than them," she said. "You can't make a kid scared using drugs." All four teens said there should be stricter discipline in schools, but not simply sending drug users to jail or to institutions. "Kids need help, not jail," said Miss Ruser. Miss MacDonald suggested that if parents did nothing when told their children were drug users, then school principals should be able to force such youngsters into rehabilitation programs. ART BARKER, director of "The Seed" program, criticized "ridiculous statements" of many school administrators that drug problems were not prevalent in south Florida schools.

"This is how bad it is," he said. "When I started two years ago the average age of the junkie coming to me was 20. Now the average age is 15, with three years of drug use experience." From Page 1 same way park-bench chess players would do it. Spassky took two pawns, one white, one black, juggled them behind his back then extended his closed hands to Fischer. Without hesitation, Fischer hunched forward "and pointed a finger to- Spassky's 'right hand.

With a smile Spassky opened it. FISCHER delayed the opening of the match, which was to have begun last Sunday, in a holdout for more money. The stakes then were an official purse of $125,000 arid a share of TV and film receipts. He decided to come arriving last Tuesday only after British financier James Slater stepped in with a donation of $130,000 to sweeten the prize pot. It totals $255,000 of the winner will take five-eights and the loser three-; eights.

In' addition the players will get a share of the sale of TV and movie rights, estimated at perhaps $27,500 each. In his letter to Spassky, who' a written apology for Fischer's conduct before he would sit down at the chess board, the American champion called his attempt to grab a share of the gate as "my petty dispute over money." "I HAVE offended you and your country, the Soviet Union, where chess has a pres-. tigious position," Fischer wrote. Nevertheless, he took issue with a demand by the Soviet Chess Federation that he be penalized with the loss of the first game for his tardy arrival. "If this forfeit demand were respected," Fischer wrote, "it ed, he had committed more than 100 crimes- Pellegrini, 18, said he had committed more than a dozen armed robberies and had been arrested at least six times on a variety of charges.

"I STOLE constantly," he said. "I broke into cars and homes, then went to armed robbery. The most we ever got was just over $700. We bought dope with it." Pelligrini then told the congressmen that he even managed to obtain "pot, downers and heroin in jail." Libby MacDonald then testified she and another Florida girl were sent to a 150-student New York boarding school and wound up turning nearly all their classmates to drugs. "When I got there, there were only a couple of us on dope," Libby said.

"Three of us turned on about everyone there during the one year I was there." SHE SAID she knew "only three or four kids who were straight" in 1 several schools she had attended. She said that before she started the rehabilitation program, she "shooting $200 dollars a day" in heroin. Reps. James Mann, and William Keating, R-Ohio, sought from the four teenagers' answers on how to combat the school-age drug problem.

Asked by committee members for advice on combatting the school drug problem, the teenagers said the only thing young drug addicts will respond to is "peer pressure," that anti-drug programs need vast improvement, and that schools should have authority to force addicts into rehabilitation programs if parents won't. WEDNESDAY, the committee heard three mothers tell how they lost their sons to heroin addiction and a research analyst and a medical examiner said that drug abuse was growing rapidly in South Florida. In a hushed auditorium of 200 students and adults, 14-year-old Ann Ruser told the congressmen yesterday she started "stealing booze from the house" when she was 11, then progressed to marijuana she obtained at school. She wound up a heroin addict. "1 went to school many days stoned," Ann said.

"I did crimes all the time. I would steal from stores like it was nothing. We stole cars, took then to the airport and stripped them of all they had we could sell to buy drugs." Larry Peilegrini, who -said he began smoking marijuana at the age of 13, told the congressmen he became addicted to heroin and" finally turned to armed robbery to support his habit.
