Bill Signed Limiting Control Of Race Stock SPRINGFIELD, 111. (AP) Stockholders in horse-and harness-racing enterprises will have to disclose their foldings and will be prohibited under a new Illinois law from contributing to prsons campaigning for or holding public office. Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie signed legislation Tuesday requiring the disclosures, in an effort to prevent a recurrence of recent scandals in connection with the ownership of race track stock.

The law, in the form of two companion bills passed by the General Assembly during their spring session, requires anyone desiring to conduct harness racing or horse racing to file an application with the Illinois Racing Board and the secretary of state's office. The requirement applies to anyone having five per cent or more interest in the racing enterprise, an aide to Ogilvie said. It further requires any changes in names or addresses of anyone holding the licenses to be filed with the secretary of state as well as any change of ownership affecting 25 per cent or more of the controlling interest of any license that must be approved by the racing board. In related action, Ogilvie signed legislation which transfers to the Department of Law Enforcement the duty of providing security at race tracks. The function previously rested with the Illinois Racing Board.

Some State Drivers Stations Display Kucharski Photos SPRINGFIELD, 111. (AP) Posters showing a grinning portrait of Edmund J. Kucharski, Republican candidate for secretary of state, have blossomed in drivers license testing stations across Illinois. Autos displaying Kucharski "car- tops" shaped like giant license plates have been parked in the lots of at least two testing stations for about a week. In one case, the poster and cartops appeared after the station was visited by a Kucharski aide who was reprimanded before the March 21 primary for overzealous fund-raising techniques.

(There was no evidence today of any Kucharski pictures or political material at the Freeport driver's license station at 1103 S. West Ave. Station manager Paul Detwiler said no material has ever been mounted.) Federal law bars campaigning on government property but no similar state statute exists, attorneys consulted agreed. In addition to his duties as Cook County Republican chairman, Kucharski holds the post of assistant secretary of state. He is the first assistant secretary in at least 20 years whose photograph has been displayed in testing stations, sources familiar with the traditionally low-profile office said.

But aides to Secretary of State John W. Lewis, asked about the poster, said it should have been placed next to photographs of Lewis and Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie in the stations "a long time ago." Edward Stubblefield, head of Lewis' drivers license testing section, told a newsman that he has ordered all 131 downstate stations plus the three in Cook County to display the poster. "He is the assistant secretary of state," Stubblefield said by way of explanation.

Stubblefield was asked why, if the assistant secretary's picture should be displayed in the stations, it was put up only in the heat of a political battle. The poster is approximately twice as big in total area as the Lewis and Ogilvie photographs. Kucharski's name is at the bottom in three-inch black letters. S. Viet Forces Unable To Recapture Quang Tri SAIGON (AP) Heavy fighting was reported on three sides of Quang Tri City as tank-led North Vietnamese forces for the sixth straight day blocked a government drive to recapture the provincial capital.

The Saigon military command claimed 198 North Vietnamese soldiers were killed and four tanks destroyed in five battles north, east and south of Quang Tri City on Tuesday and today. First reports said 29 South Vietnamese soldiers were killed and 69 wounded. Nearly all of the government casualties were reported in the helicopter landing of several hundred South Vietnamese marines a mile north of Quang Tri City at noon Tuesday. Three U.S. Marine helicopters were shot down, and two of the American crewmen were reported wounded.

The North Vietnamese launched one counterattack just before dawn today and seized hilltop positions from South Vietnamese paratroopers to the southwest, Associated Press correspondent Dennis Neeld reported from the front. Neeld said several battalions of South Vietnamese paratroopers on the edges of Quang Tri City were being pounded by long-range North Vietnamese artillery fire. Allied planes were striking at the city, field reports said, but they were hampered by windstorms whipping up sand and reducing the pilots' visibility. Radio Hanoi announced today that a Communist Peoples' Revolutionary Committee was established last month to rule Quang Tri Province, which the North Vietnamese captured in May and are now defending against the South Vietnamese counterattack. The broadcast quoted a communique by the Viet Cong's National Liberation Front dated July 5 but gave no reason why the announcement had been held up for a week.

The U.S. 7th Fleet in a delayed report announced that the destroyers Robison and Hull sank 13 barges off the coast of North Vietnam 30 miles northeast of Dong Hoi before dawn Monday. The barges were unloading supplies from a freighter, presumed to be Chinese, but the freighter was not attacked, sources said. In the air war, U.S. fighter-bombers flew more than 290 strikes against North Vietnam on Tuesday, the U.S.

Command said, and knocked out a 300- foot highway bridge 40 miles northeast of Hanoi with laser-guided bombs. North Vietnam claimed that six U.S. planes were shot down during Tuesday's raids. The U.S. Command announced one loss, a Navy F4 Phantom downed about 30 miles northeast of Hanoi.

The two crewmen were listed as missing. The U.S. Command also disclosed the loss of a Marine A6 fighter-bomber that was shot down last Friday 33 miles southwest of Quang Tri City. It said the two crewmen were missing. Punish Astronauts For Carrying Postal Covers WASHINGTON (AP) The space agency disciplined the three Apollo 15 astronauts today for carrying 400 unauthorized postal covers to the moon and back last July and then turning 100 of them over to an acquaintance in West Germany.

1 The 100 moon-stamped envelopes later apparently were sold to stamp "collectors for $1,500 each, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration other 300 unauthorized covers Ijvere confiscated and are impounded at NASA's Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston. NASA said after an investigation that astronauts David Scott, Alfred fWorden and James Irwin "exercised Jpoor judgment in their action." "Therefore they will be repri- and their actions will be given rdue consideration in their selection for assignments," the agency said. Dr. George Low, NASA deputy ad- 'ministrator, commented: "Astronauts are under extreme 'stress in the months preceding a flight Ito the moon, and their poor judgment Jin carrying the unauthorized covers be considered in this light.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. (AP) An Illinois national guardsman died at the Army's burn center here Tuesday of injuries suffered more than a month ago, a spokesman said. The Institute of Surgical Research at Brooke Army Medical Center reported that Pfc. James A. McCloud, 23, of Urbana, 111., succumbed to second and third degree burns over 61 per cent of his body.

McCloud was flown here on June 4 following an auto accident while on weekend duty with the National Guard in Illinois, the hospital said. His address was listed as No.2 Carriage Estates, Urbana, 111. Freeport (III.) Journal-Standard, Wednesday, July 12, 1972 Page 23 Experts Fa vor Spassky In First Chess Game 4 REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Defending champion Boris Spassky was favored by the experts to beat American challenger Bobby Fischer in the opening game of the world chess match when play resumed this afternoon. The opener of the richest chess competition in history adjourned Tuesday night after 4 hours and 34 minutes of play and 40 moves by each player. The match had appeared headed for a draw until Fischer tried to seize the initiative on his 29th move.

The lanky Brooklyn, N.Y., challenger galloped his bishop down a long black diagonal to snatch an unprotected pawn Spassky had offered. A few moves later the bishop was trapped and lost in exchange for two pawns. U.S. grandmaster Robert Byrne said it was a blunder and commented, "Fischer is going to have trouble making a draw. I don't see how Spassky can lose." Analyzing the game for The Associated Press, international grandmaster Isaac Kashdan termed Fischer's move "a rare miscalculation by the American genius." He said it gave Spassky good prospects for a win.

"Nonetheless, NASA cannot condone these actions." The Apollo 15 crew, like those on earlier moon missions, had NASA's permission, within established procedures, to carry personal souvenir-type items, including some postal covers. The permission was granted with the condition that the articles be retained by the astronauts or be given to personal friends. They were not to be used for commercial or fund-raising' purposes or personal gain, NASA said. A NASA spokesman identified the acquaintance to whom he said the 100 unauthorized postal covers were given as Horst (Walter) Eireman, a naturalized American living at Stuttgart. Eireman met the astronauts when he was working for an aerospace contractor at Cocoa Beach, the spokesman said.

A German dealer involved was identified as Herman E. Sieger, Lorch, Germany. A copy of a West German newspaper advertisement circulated here showed that Sieger offered the material for about $1,500 each. All That's New Under the Sun .77 Shop for Summer IfO SCO 1MB at OSCO! 17 W. STEPHENSON ST.
