Others believed that having racked up six wins to Spassky's three in the first 13 games, and one of those Russian three a forfeit, Fischer felt he would prove nothing by taking risks. If this match was being played according to the rules already adopted for the 1976 championship, Spassky would have lost his crown to Fischer on the 13th game. Under the new rules not yet in effect, draws will not count, and the match goes to the first player to win six games.

The young American appeared delighted as he walked off the stage after Wednesday's draw on the 54th move. Spassky sat glumly staring at the board for several minutes after the referee cleared away the pieces. The game had begun Tuesday and was adjourned with Spassky in a position some ex perts thought might give him a victory. But after the game resumed, the champion could not find a line of play to capitalize on his placement.

in He told a news conference that the cattlemen are the ones absorbing the burden of the lower wholesale costs and that consumers would now be paying 12.9 cents a pound less for beef if the lower farm prices had been passed on. "In part, it's because of government meddling in the free market system," he said. He ciieq government pressure, a removal of meat import quotas by President Nixon and attempts to restrict export of cattle hides. Farm prices overall in August averaged one per cent higher than in July, and were at an all-lime high, the USDA said. Wheat was at a six-year high, averaging $1.51 per bushel, nearly 20 cents above July and 23 cents more than a year ago.

The wheat market has been strained by the sale of one- fourth of the U.S. grain crop to the Soviet Union. Government analysis stand by earlier predictions that grocery prices this year will be only about 4 per cent higher than in 1971. That would be more than the 2.4 per cent in-1 crease last year, but less than in some other recent years. Prices also were up in August for milk, hogs, lettuce and grapefruit, the USDA said.

Declines were noted in broiler chickens and eggs, celery, sweet potatoes, strawberries land oranges The Department said prices for pork, the number two meat in the country, were up in August and probably will continue rising. Hogs prices are at record levels. Meat purchases make up about one-third of a family food budget.

"The U.S. embassy has been totally useless and negative', said Ruth Jacobs of New Yofk.

The stranded Americans spent their last night in Britain in the Grosvenor Hotel as guests of Maxwell Joseph's Grand Metropolitan Hotels. The chain also gave them a banquet Wednesday night. Wimpeybur-gers were not served. Wimpey paid about $14,500 toward the cost of their flight home, and the airline said it would absorb the rest. The Canadian government, meanwhile, is acting to prevent its citizens being stranded during charter trips.

About 150 tourists were left in Europe in one financial dispute this summer and other Canadian groups have also been stranded. The Canadian Transport Commission told airlines flying out of Canada they must prove they have been paid for the round trip, they must vestigate every passenger, to make sure he is a member in god standing of the chartering organization and they can bring back to Canada only those charter passengers they flew" out of the country.

K-B3 Kt-Q5 Drawn Elapsed time, Fischer 190 By ANDREW TORCHIA REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Bobby Fischer was only one point from the world chess championship today, and the big question was whether he would try to wrap it up in today's game or cautiously coast to victory on two half-point draws. Fischer and champion Boris Spassky drew their 20th game Wednesday, giving the Ameri can challenger 1114 points to Spassky's 8J4. A victory counts one point, a draw half a point for each play er. Fischer needs 12Va points to win the title and Spassky needs 12 to keep it. Victory for Fischer would take the championship away from the Soviet Union for the first time since 1946.

"I think Bobby will play to win but he is being very careful now," said Miguel Quin teros, an Argentinian master who recently joined the Ameri can entourage. Some observers say the last seven games were draws be Jobless Rate Dips In Stale Associated Press Unemployment In Texas dipped slightly in July, tj 4.4 per cent of the labor force the Texas Employment Commis sion reported today. The commission said the July Figure compared with 4.6 per cent both in June 1972 and July 1971. "The 215,900 idle workers represented the second highest number recorded in any July since 1961. However, this was the first time July unemploy ment had decreased from the year-ago figure since 1908," the TEC said.

Austin had the lowest rate 2.8 per cent and Dallas, Lubbock, Houston, Wichita Falls and Abilene all had less than i per cent. Laredo, with 10.4 per cent, had the highest rate. The commission also reported that the number of job holders in Texas during July was 3 per cent higher than a year ago. "Despite the fact that this does not compare favorably with the yearly gains of about 5.5 per cent which occurred in July 1968 and 1969, it can be interpreted as one of the most significant signs of the im provement that has been taking place in the economy of Texas," the agency said. Hanoi-Bound Arms Can't Be Landed VIENTIANE (AP) A third Soviet cargo plane loaded with war material for North Viet nam has been diverted to the Vientiane airport because the Hanoi airport was closed on account of U.S.

bombing, Laotian officials said today. Both the third and the second planes are temporarily grounded by Laotian authorities, and airport police are guarding them. The first plane was detained for four days, airport police said, because it was loaded with arms and munitions although its manifest listed only food and medicine. But the cargo was released along with the plane. The U.S.

Defense Department bombed the Hanoi airport. But presumably it is closed to traffic during air raids in the area of the North Vietnamese capital. The Laotian director of civil aviation says Soviet cargo flights from Moscow to Hanoi via Calcutta have been crossing Laos several times a week for the past two months. The big prop-jet cargo planes are similar to the U.S. C130 and carry 20 tons of cargo, he said.

The Department of Agricul- ture said Wednesday prices for cattle at market dipped in August for the first time in four months, although there has been no official indication that retail prices have followed suit. The USDA said cattle prices were down $1.10 per one hun dred pounds on the hoof from the record high of $34.60 in July.

There also are 18 per cent more cattle being fattened now than a year ago, which means a bigger supply by fall, it said. John A. Copeland, chairman of the National Livestock and Meat Board in Chicago, said the declining prices at the market level should be passed on at supermarkets in the coming months.

He was among the chess club's players who lost to one of three persons who won a McGovern-Nixon chess set sculptured by Alexander Silveri, retired Austrian professor of art. "I blundered.

That's how you always lose," Redman said. "He (his opponent) got the advantage. I tried to trap him and failed." The 16 masters and experts who played from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. were surpnseo, tney saia not so much at the numbers of people, but the quality of play.

"Usually, in a simultaneous game you can expect some pushovers," Redman said. "I had no easy games." Verber, who quit playing after about a half hour because of the hot sun, said most games averaged 40 minutes much longer than he expected. "We had the best chess play ers in the area out there today," Verber said. "They came to play. Before we even had our signs up to attract passers- by, there must have been 900 people waiting.

Verber, who said the surging interest in chess is certainly due to the current chess cham pionship match in Iceland be tween American challenger Bobby Fischer and Russia's Boris Spassky, said he expected about 2,000 games to be played. But he estimated near the day's end that as many as 3,000 were played and tfrat hundreds of persons waited up to three hours to compete. Spurr Says Forty Acres For Faculty University of Texas president Stephen H. Spurr Wednesday told new UT faculty members that the purchase of the Forty Acres Club here was intended to provide a faculty club. Spurr is the first UT official to indicate plans for the Forty IOWA BEEF CHAIRMAN Bert Easton Investigate Cadillacs, Asks Nader WASHINGTON (AP) -Ralph Nader's Center for Auto Safety has asked the Justice Department to determine if fed eral charges should be brought against General Motors Corp.

for allegedly concealing steering defects in some 285,000 12-and 13-year-old Cadillacs. Lowell Dodge, center direc tor, said Wednesday a source within GM, which he declined to identify, told him that at least two accidents involving the failure of the pitman arm resulted in deaths and serious injury. Dodge said company documents show that more than pitman arms were sold for the 1959 and 1960 Cadillacs, in-j dicating that 3.67 per cent of the cars have had the part re placed. GM, however, said in a state ment that a preliminary review shows that there have teen "43 pitman-arm failures, two accidents and no injuries" in volving the cars. The pitman arm is a lever connecting the steering box with the tie rods that control the front wheel steering angle.

If the arm breaks, the result is sudden and complete loss of steering. Dodge, who said about 100,000 of the cars are still on the road, claimed GM documents indicate the company had long been aware of the steering defect but had concealed the information, with the result that as late as 1968 there was debate within the company hierarchy as to the nature and the extent of the difficulty. In 1968, he said, GM decided not to report the safety defect to the federal government as required by law and also failed to initiate a recall. GM, however, said it "has no record or recollection of any meeting concerning a possible recall campaign on pitman-arm failures on its 1959-1960 models. The corporation and the division (Cadillac) are conducting a thorough investigation of this charge from all standpoints." Dodge made public a letter asking Atty.

Gen. Richard Kleindienst to determine if GM should be charged with fraud and with concealment of essen tial information about the mat- ter. Dodge also said he has asked Secretary of Transportation John A. Volpe to require GM to provide the National Highway Safely Administration with its files on chronic problems of vehicles. "We have good information on which to base a belief that GM's reaction to its own design disaster in this case is not unusual or unique," Dodge said.

He did not specify how the cen ter knew this. Iiepuhlican Dies FORT COLLIS, Colo. (AP) William S. Hill, 86, a former Republican congressman from Colorado who served nine consecutive terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, died Wednesday in a nursing home.

CHICAGO (AP) More than 2,000 persons put up with near 90-degree heat in Civic Center Plaza here to match wits with masters from the Chicago Chess' Club. Few were successful. The three winning "amateurs," however, were typical of the general quality of play that was even more surprising than the large turnout Wednesday.

Kissinger, friend of Hollywood stars as well as world leaders, says he is thinking about going into the movies.

President Nixon's top foreign ixilicy" adviser joked about a movie' career when newsmen who were aboard the presidential jet en route tu Hawaii asked him about his future' plans. "I'm thinking of; poing into the movies I've got the connections now," he smiled. Kissinger has had frequent dates with Hollywood stars, the most recent with Jill St. John, who accompanied him to a reception at Nixon's California home Sunday night. Kissinger also was asked about reports that he had been offered a t'2 million advance for book on his White House years.

He replied he had not had "any discussions with any publishes" about writing his memoirs and will not while he is in his present job.

"It was a matter of our play Algae Study May Yield Planet Data A study of environmental conditions which prevailed on the primitive earth and which may prevail on other planets is being conducted by two researchers at the University of Texas Marine Science Institute (MSI). Dr.

Patrick Parker, associate professor of chemistry, and Dr. Chase Van Baalen. associate professor of botany at MSI, are conducting the study with co-investigator Dr. John Calder of Florida State University under a $10,750 research grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, according to UT officials. Van Baalen and his co-workers are determining properties of blue-green algae under a variety of growth conditions.

"It is generally agreed that the blue-green algae were early inhabitants of the earth and that they were at least partly responsible for the early rise in the oxygen content of the earth's atmosphere." Van Baalen said. "The study of the blue-green algae as we find them today should give us considerable insight into the conditions which prevailed in the early stages of the earth," he added. He emphasized that understanding the early earth environment will be useful in the search for extra-terrestrial life.

CWA Local Endorses McGovern Communications Workers of America has endorsed U.S. Senator George McGovern for the Presidency, CWA Local President Mrs. Faye Holub announced Thursday.

"Our endorsement came after a detailed review of thej platform, program and record if Senator McGovern contrasted with the disastrous economic record of President Nixon," Mrs. Holub said.

Mrs. Holub, president of CWA Local 6132 in Austin, pointed out that CWA Locals in South Dakota had been the first Union to endorse McGovern when he first ran for Congress.

"There is good reason for his labor support. His voting record according to the AFL-CIO Committee on Political ducation (CUPh) is 9a per cent. In other words, 95 per cent uf the time his point of view is similar if not identical to our own," Mrs. Holub said. Mrs.
