TO BE DECOMMISSIONED The aircraft carrier Wasp, veteran of a number of major World War II battles, ends her career of CHESS (Continued From Page One) tickets they purchased for the match. It. was learned that the main points under discussion in negotiations were: -The American's eleventh-hour attempt to gain 30 per cent of the gate receipts. This was not in the original agreement and the federation opposed it. -Fischer's desire to be paid in cash the loser's share of the purse before he would even board the plane for Iceland.

One of the Americans claiming to represent Fischer's interests said the U.S. champion felt that since he had put in six months of preparation for the match he should be compensated for it. The organizers were said to be willing to give a check for the loser's share to a third person until the end of the match. -A request 10 be quarantined from the press and the public. The federation has, offered Fischer all the police protection he would need.

In London, Banker James D. Slater, a chess enthusiast. offered a deal amounting to $130.000 to entice Fischer to Iceland. Under present terms the purse is $125,000 with the winner getting $78.125. Under Slater's proposal the winner would get $156.000 and the loser $104,000.

Fischer's 24-game match with the Russian world's champion was to have begun Sunday, and the president of the world federation, Dr. Max Euwe, announced if the American challenger failed to show up by noon Tuesday he would risk forfeiting his chance at the title. Euwe said his personal opinion was that "there will be no play at all." The Russians reluctantly accepted Euwe's decision to delay the match. Asked what he thought of the situation, Spassky replied: "I came to play." An Icelandic chess player and longtime friend of Fischer. Freystrinn Thorberberesson, flew to New York and said he would try to persuade Fischer to meet the Tuesday deadline.

Fischer continued to hide out from newsmen in New York but was reported to have stayed until Friday at the home of friends on Long Island.

Immigration and Naturalization Service. They were taken into custody at Eagle Pass, where they reside, then released on $25,000 bond each. The federal complaint alleges dealings by a man known as "Carlos Diaz" to purchase as much as $1.2 million in munitions and weapons, ranging from submachine guns to M16s. No guns, however, were aboard the plane raided by federal agents at Shreveport on Saturday. Gallinghouse said that Diaz, identified only as a man claiming to be a Mexican citizen, was being sought along with another man.

The federal complaint alleges Kessler agreed last Wednesday to sell to Diaz 13,500 pounds of C-4 plastic explosives. 7.000 feet of primacord, 2.600 electrical blasting caps and 25 electrical detonators for $430.000. In addition, it alleges that another $35.000 was to be paid for flying the explosives to an airfield near Vera Cruz, Mexico. Federal officials said, however, that no money changed hands. They said the primacord.

Credentials Panel Has 3 Purged WASHINGTON (AP) Three New York members of the Democratic Credentials Committee have been purged at the prompting of supporters of Sen.

George S. McGovern, the front-running contender for the party's presidential nomination. The replacements came Sunday night following several votes by the delegates against positions taken by the McGovern Forces on challenges in Illinois, Michigan and other states. Joseph F. Crangle, New York Democratic Party chairman, appointed three staunch McGovern backers to replace the following Credentials Committee members: William McKeon, Elizabeth Stack and Robert Nolan.

Their replacements are Thomas Bernstein, Barbara Spadanuta, and Richard Cummings. A fourth Credentials Committee member from New York, Clarence Jones, resigned voluntarily and was replaced by Arthur Kaminsky. The replacement caused some confusion Sunday night during committee deliberations. The purged delegates refused for a time to yield their, seats to the replacements, with both sets of delegates attempting to vote. Credentials Committee Vice Chairman Hodding Carter III ruled the replacements were properly certified and should be seated.

The purged delegates then left the hall. HIJACK (Continued From Page to cross the demilitarized zone. Meanwhile the first officer landed the jet at Saigon's Tan San Nhut airport where it was ringed by troops and ambulances.

"I jumped him. I grabbed the arm that was holding the bomb and it flew onto the floor. I spun him around and got an arm lock on him. He was flailing with a knife in his other hand but al. it got was a bit of my laundry.

I had incredible strength. I could feel his neck collapsing under my arm. Two passengers made flying tackles and we all went down on the Vaughn said he managed to move his body away from the Vietnamese while keeping the arm lock on him and shouted to an unidentified armed passenger "Kill the son of a bitch." Five shots were fired. four hitting Binh in the chest. Vaughn said a few minutes later he couldn't stand the sight of the dead hijacker in his plane and he pitched the bloodied Lody "just like a to the concrete taxiway below.

Authorities withheld the name of the passenger who shot Binh, but another traveler said he was a former policeman from Richmond, coming to Sa gon to work for an American firm. The pilot said the man had checked his .357 Magnum pistol with him when he boarded the plane and that before confronting the hijacker he returned it and asked the man to help. The big 747 has two aisles. Vaughn approached the hijacker down one aisle while the armed passenger went down the other. At a news conference in Hong Kong, where the plane went for repair of its emergency gear, the captain displayed a souvenir, the sixth cartridge from the pistol, which had not been fired.

Meany is officially uncommitted in the race for the nomination, although he is considered a supporter of Sen.

And he said he hasn't ruled out having Sen. Edward M. Kennedy as a running mate, but feels Kennedy will not be a candidate. The suit filed before Judge Hart by the McGovern forces is similar to one filed earlier by Mayor Richard J. Daley of Chicago to prevent a challenge to himself and 58 other Illinois delerates.

The Credentials Committee voted the Daley delegation out Friday. Hart had ruled in Daley's favor, saying the party's new rules could not supersede Illinois state law, but the U.S. Court of Appeals overruled Hart. The Credentials Committee, still meeting in Washington, refused convention seats to Mississippi's regular Democrats late Saturday. It voted unanitnously to seat the 25-member Loyalist delegation, which also was seated in 1963.

Race was not major factor in the challenge this year as it was four years ago. There are 14 blacks in the Loyalist group and nine in the regular delegation. The main charge was that the regular party failed to adopt the party's reform rules in picking delegates. Gov. William L.

Waller of Mississippi, acting for the regulars, sought a compromise, offering the loyalists 40 per cent of the seats, but the Loyalists insisted on 50 per cent. Other challenges settled over the weekend included: Michigan--The committee ruled that supporters of Gov. Wallace could substitute three of their supporters for three delegates elected on a Wallace ticket but believed leaning toward Sen. McGovern. It also agreed to include 10 women with one-half vote each in the 27 delegates committed to Sen.

Libyan Leader Arrives Late BEIRUT (AP) Libyan leader Muammar Kadafi arrived a day late for his meeting last month with his Syrian and Egyptian partners because his wife had a baby on the eve of his departure, a Beirut magazine said today. Al Usbu Al Arabi, the Arab Weekly said Kadafi put off his trip, drove his wife to the hospital and waited until the baby was born.

After doctors assured him his wife and baby were in good health, he left June 21 for the Mediterranean city of Mersa Matruh, instructing aides to say nothing about the birth. Trial Is To Start CHICAGO (AP) The long delayed trial of State's Atty, Edward V. Hanrahan of Cook County, accused with 13 others of conspiracy to obstruct justice, is scheduled to open Wednesday before Circuit Judge Phillip J. Romiti. BUDGET (Continued From Page One) aha 'Crackers Expected To Hurt Thousands CHICAGO (AP) Thousands of persons are injured each year in fireworks accidents despite strict state Jaws which have reduced fatal mishaps almost to zero.

This Independence Day will be no different. according the National Safety Council which predicts that hundreds of injuries will result from use of bootlegged fireworks around The council says many otherwise law-abiding citizens ignore the laws, which cover morel than 60 per cent of the population, and bring fireworks into state or municipality which has banned their possession. sale or transportation. The laws have succeeded in cutting the death toll from 466.1 tabulated by the American Medical Association in 1903, to none in recent years. The AMA says another contributor to the absence of deaths the fact that Ameri- cans take to the roads in automobiles on holidays instead of staying home and shooting fireworks.

The council says that bootleg users find a black market connection or bring fireworks from some rural area where they are the open. Mail-order chemical kits. containing potentially explosive are available magazine ads even though they are illegal, the council observed. Deuel Richardson, a spokesman for the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in Boston, says that although the Real Cost Of Ads Said Down NEW YORK (AP) After adjustments for inflation, the real cost of U.S. advertising in newspapers last year went down--not up--the Bureau of Advertising said today.

The bureau gave this con- parison milline rates for 1970 and $6.59 per line 1970 to $6.53 in 1971 for weekdays, and $4.88 $4.80 on Sundays. Furthermore. the bureau restating milline rates in constant of terms 1971 dol- aggregate milline rate newspapers last year since 1959.

Food and Drug Administration has banned Class explosives, it still allows use of Class fireworks which carry a warning note. Class fireworks include cherry bombs and some types tojof aerial bombs and rockets. Class fireworks are small firecrackers and nonexplosives such as sparklers and snakes. "We are still puzzled by the attitude of the FDA in allowing Class fireworks," Richardson says. "It has taken the position that as long as these fireworks carry a warning label, they are not harmful to children." "We doubt very much," he says.

"if any 6-. 7-or 8-vear-olds pay any attention to warnings on small Richardson says a federal ban of Class.C fireworks also could end bootlegging. Seventeen states have adopted an NFPA model law forbidding sale, possession or transportation of all fireworks including Class C. They are Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois. Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York.

North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and West Virginia. Nine others are covered by the NFPA law with modifications to allow some nonexplosive items. They are Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, New Hampshire, Oregon. Utah and Wis- Twelve states and the District of Columbia allow Class fireworks, with state authorities determining exceptions. Those states are Alabama, California, Colorado, Montana, New Mexi- CO, Kansas.

Virginia. Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Washington and Wyoming. The remaining 12 states allow all Class fireworks. The state laws provide fines from $25 up to $1,000, and jail terms from 20 days to a year. Phil Dykstra, manager of the council's home department, says even Class fireworks are dangerous and destructive enough to warrant banning of all fireworks except those used for licensed public displays.

He cites a study made jointly by the NFPA and the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness which showed 42 per cent of fireworks accidents resulting in personal injury andproperty damage were caused by Class fireworks. The council believes that there are no safe fireworks and no safe way for an amateur to use fireworks, SO Americans of should take advantage of pubile displays and leave the handling of fireworks to professionals. Field Gets 'Soaked' In Alcohol WOLCOTT, Ind. (AP) The creatures who make their homes along the Penn Central tracks west of here might have felt a little woozy this morning. Police said a tank car loaded with 190 proof grain alcohol spilled its load onto the right-ofway, spreading fumes over a wide area.

White County sheriff's officers were called to keep the curious away. They said the slightest spark could have set off a tremendous blaze. The alcohol, which was to be used in making whiskey, soaked into the ground near a cornfield and evaporated without incident. Railroad workers moved in, sniffing the air, to clean up the 20 derailed cars. Sludge, Lots Of It, May Go Nowhere POTTSTOWN, Pa.

One; believe other legislators need one. I don't think the system is needed, I don't think it will be economical and I think it will actually be more expensive." The five senators and five representatives met for the first time Sunday night in the attempt to negotiate A settlement by the time both houses return from a brief July 4th holiday on Wednesday. "We'll meet July 4th if we have to," said Sen.

A. M. Aikin, Paris, head of the Senate conferees. The Senate bill provided $4,333,846 to continue state meat provisions but a similar allocation was removed from the House bill by a decisive vote. The House bill contains $1.03 million for a drug dependent youth project at the Vernon State School but there was nothing like it in the Senate bill.

The negotiators took the House appropriation of $160.000 for emergency medical services in the State Health Department instead of $335,960 provided by the Senate. They took the Senate allocation of $2.7 million for a new school for mentally retarded at El Paso but trimmed the House grant of $2.5 million for the Fort Worth State School to $2 million. The negotiations began Sunday night after tired and confused House members finally passed, on voice vote, their version of the big spending bill at 3:15 a.m. Sunday after more than 16 hours of debate. Last Wednesday, the Senate, also tired and confused.

"If you are very careful to take the lower figures (passed by either house) I believe you will find it is within the total income the comptroller says he will certify." During the 16 hours of House debate on the bill, which covers the cost of state government from this Sept. until Aug.

31, 1973, the representatives considered 95 amendments. approving 47 and defeating 48. They took a 55 minute break for lunch Saturday but had no time off for supper. One of the most controversial amendments Saturday night was one offered by Republican Rep. Bill Blythe, Houston.

to block expenditure of state funds to bus school children. After 45 minutes of hot argument the preposition was changed, then adopted, to provide that state funds would be used for busing if a school was under a federal court order to integrate. Another House amendment added $1 million for bilingual education and $1.25 million for adult education. Neither is in the Senate bill. The House also voted to restore funds to the Nimitz Memorial Museum in Fredericksburg but less than the original $111.000 taken out by the a appropriations committee.

Quickly defeated by the House was an attempt to remove a special provision that prohibits the use of arg state funds for the next year to build a veterinary school at Texas Tech University. House members added $5.6 million for a 3.4 per cent: salary increase for state college teachers and employes, which was not in the Senate bill.
