Gun battles Ensue IRA Wing Abandons Ulster Cease-Fire DELFAST (UPD--Irish Republican Army (IRA) gunmen returned lo the attack today, their 13-day cease-fire aban-' doned. Gunbaltles spread across Belfast and Ixindonderry and 10 persons died in the fighting or through "executions." In the first hours after the IRA Provisional wing called off their truce Sunday night, six civilians died in Belfast, including a 14-year-old girl and a Roman Catholic priest shot as he administered last riles lo another victim. Earlier Sunday, while the cease-fire still was in effect, police found the bodies of four men who apparently had been executed. The deaths raised the toll for Northern Ireland's three years of bloodshed lo 416. "We are very close to civil war," a spokesman for Ihe Proteslant Vanguard Move- menl said.

The militant Ulster Defense Association (UDA) marshalled men in (he streets of Protestant neighborhoods. "These men a been called up for emergency duly," a UDA source said. "They are awaiting Ihu call lo 1 Sharp gunbattles raged in several porlsof Belfast until the early morning hours. Most were between troops and Catholic snipers, although Protestant gunmen were drawn into the gun duels as well. Some of the bitterest fighting raged in the Calholic Ballymurphy section.

An army observation post in a lumber yard was heavily allacked. and il was In Ellsberg Trial Jury Selection Begins Today ANGELES (UPI)-Tlie Pentagon Papers trial of Daniel Ellsberg finally begins today and il could bring a parade of former government officials testifying about the practice of "leaking" classified information. A panel of 100 prospective jurors was summoned lo appear in U.S. district court in the government's espionage, theft and conspiracy case against the 41-year-old Ellsberg and codefendant Anthony J. Russo.

Selection of 12 jurors and six alternates is expected to require about a week, with the total trial lasting 10 to 12 weeks. In i a hearings, the defense produced a i a i from a number of high govern- menl officials thai it was common practice lo moke secrel information available to the news media. Among them were John Kennplh Galbraith, former ambassador to India; Kennedy i House aide Theodore Sorenson and former assistant secretary of stale for public affairs Robert Manning. Another key question is whether the documents on the evolution and escalation of the Vietnam' war contain information dangerous to Ihe national security and defense. The government contends they do and has earmarked certain sections of the 57-volume study lo prove Iheir point.

Ellsberg and Russo say they broke no law but performed a patriotic acl in making information available to the American public about Vietnam decision-making, that it may have been embarrassing to several administrations but was not espionage. Both sides are expected to call expert witnesses on the sensilivity of the documents. Ellsberg and Russo, colleagues at the Hand Corp. in Sanla Monica from which they admit Ihe papers were removed, face possible lengthy prison terms if they are con- vicled. The indictment makes no mention of Ihe "leaking" of the documenls but actually talks only of conspiracy alleged to have been carried out from March, to September, 1970, more than eight months before the documents were published.

The New York Times, which won this year's Pulitzer Prize for publishing the papers, is not mentioned in Ihe indictment. near Ihe're lhat Father Noel Fitzpatrick was shot in the neck as he knelt over a dying man to administer Ihe lasl rites. A Provisional IRA statement from Dublin accused British troops of breaking the cease- fire by firing rubber bullets and nausea gas al almost 2,000 Calholics, including women and children, trying lo take over abandoned houses in the Proteslant Suffolk housing es- lale. The confrontation developed into a gunbattle between troops and snipers. British commanders denied troops had broken Ihe Iruce and said (heir men fired only when fired upon.

Northern Ireland Secrclary William Whitelaw said in a statement: "The incident was clearly set up by the IRA lo provide a justification for a resumption of lerrorisl activity." Later, a spokesman for Whitelaw said he believed the incidents Sunday could have been resolved by peaceful discussions which were going on and said Whitelaw was ready to resume talks at any time. The trouble began when the crowd of almost 2,000 Catholics, armed with wooden clubs, iron bars and garbage can lids, tried to march through an army barricade sealing them off from the empty houses on the Protestanl housing estate.

The swivel chair in melal and black leather was flown from New York to Iceland and put on Ihe stage in Ihe Reykjavik chess hall Sunday. Spassky's Russian advisers arrived shorlly after the much talked a bout cbairand studied il suspiciously.

Then Ihey left without comment. Now the Icelandic organizers face a new problem: Where lo find a similar chair in Iceland. "It would look better if both Spnssky and Fischer had the same chairs," said Gudmundur Thorarinsson, president of Ihe Icelandic Chess Federation. Fischer took one look at the i chairs Ihe Icelanders had assembled from Reykjavik's furtiilure stores the other day, sal down in some of ihem and then gave his verdict: "Fly in my own chair." Spassky, the 35-year-old world champion, did not seem to worry much about details of the $250,000 match. Before leaving for a salmon fishing tour of northern Iceland the defending champion said, "I am not going lo argue about chairs, chess boards and sets.

I will leave that lo Bobby. It makes no difference to me." After lengthy and dramatic preludes, both Fischer and Spassky appeared ready to start the first of their 24 games Tuesday. "Bobby is relaxed and ready. We will play Tuesday unless Spassky is ill," said Fred Cramer, vice president of (he U.S. Chess Federation.
