They assert Mao's varmy purges will not stop with the top men. They predict hundreds of thousands! of "high and middle ranking commanders'' will be replaced or persecuted Some appeal to the army's patriotism. These broadcasts assert that Mao is causing disunity within China, that, Mao policies are a direct threat to the country and that therefore Mao must be stopped.

Now it is certainly true that Mao is already having some difficulties with-, his army. Reports from China out of Hong Kong indicate some serious difficulties between the playing by ear, and poorly. Some China watchers in Hong Kong believe therefore the major Soviet objective is simply to muddy the waters a little and put doubts about the future in people's minds. The Russians may be attempting to curry favor with Mao's opponents in case the outs come to power. Whatever Moscow's objective, one thing is quite clear to some of the analysts who watch the ins and-outs of Soviet policy: The heavy-handed Russian attempts at interference in Chinese; -domestic policies indicate; strongly the Russians have given up hope of any chess, has demonstrated that holdout football stars and striking baseball players have nothing on him.

Following weeks, months even, of negotiations akin to Henry Kissinger's cloak and dagger jaunts to Red China, the International Chess Association arranged a world championship match between Bobby and Boris Spassky, the Russian who's held the titlist crown since 1969. The plan first called for the two geniuses to play 12 games at Reykjavik, Iceland's capital, and another dozen in Belgrade, Yugoslavia's capital. The Association dropped this schedule because Fischer objected to the gate guaranteed by the Belgrade people. It set 24 games entirely at Reykjavik where the prize money was raised to $125,000, winner taking 60 per cent. Sunday was to have been the starting date.

Spassky moved to Reykjavik two weeks "preceding the opener. Fischer delayed his announced departure until this past' Thursday. Instead the American champ went into hiding and did not leave until Sunday, and not until the sweepstakes had been doubled. James Slater, a London millionaire put up the extra money. He told reporters the price was worth it to a chess buff.

The pot sweetened to his liking JFischer" said he was ready to sit down to the table on the Fourth. This failed to suit Spassky who declared Bobby had insulted him and all of Russia by the delaying tactics. Though the Russian did not refer publicly to Uncle Sam's birthday, it may well be that the Kremlin ordered him to skip an Independence Day starter. The two intellectuals, are supposed to begin dueling today. Nick the Greek has wisely steered clear from handicapping this Olympic version of mental gymnastics, but regardless of the outcome Bobby has already won out on the dramatics.

The time line between a sport turning from an amateur into a professional status or a combination of both is the marketplace rule of thumb of how many people will pay to watch the activity or bet on its outcome. In the U.S. the oldest professional sports probably are horse racing and cock fighting. Decades ago state law anti-cruelty laws relegated the latter to a bootleg status, but it was a flourishing enterprise back in George Washington's time. Professional boxing and baseball came on the scene a century ago.

Play for pay in football, basketball, and golf emerged following World War I. Hockey moved down from its Canadian homeland at the same time. Wrestling or the Broadway version of it started in the late '20s. Professional tennis started up in this period but only in recent years has it approached the financial stability necessary to stabilize it as "a going concern. Auto racing has pre-World, War I roots.

Roller skating derbies are a TV byproduct 7 The foregoing is not an exhaustive list, but is representative of a professional sport's basic requirement of sufficient spectator money being available so that the players and promoters foresee the opportunity to make at least pork chop and money laundry from their, endeavor. Though chess scarcely fits the basic requirement in any sport of a physical capability well above the sand lot level, the play for pay conversion has entered into this extraordinary mental game. If a mathematician can make more money programming computers than in teaching, there's no reason against a finely honed mind testing his marketability with a board and figurines. Any number of sharp people have earned highly respectable incomes demonstrating that the fall of the cards, has nothing to do with a good bridge game.

The only obligation upon Canada will be to build its own receiving and interpreting facilities at a cost estimated at $25 million over a four-year period. That cost will be amortized partly by the sale of information. Canada will track the satellites over Canadian territory from a station at Prince Albert, relaying the data to. a ground control center at Ottawa. The whole country will be covered except for that part of the arctic north of 82 degrees and with the exception of the Atlantic seaboard.

For this area, data will be received by a nearby U.S. station, and the tapes will be sent to Canada for processing. The project will complement Canada's own topographical mapping and provide a valued service at no cost to the U.S. takers.

Furthermore, for its professional expertise, the McGovern operation is organizally linked to the old Kennedy apparatus, as the presence of Frank Mankiewicz and Plucky Pierre Salinger amply suggests. Displaced from power and status by the assassination in DaHas, by the advent of LBJ's Texas mafia, and finally by the advent 'of the new men of the Nixon Administration, these Camelot types desperately want Back In.

There has always been something odd about the idea of McGovern as a Populist, for the social roots of the McGovern candidacy are about as far removed from that as it is possible to get. The McGovern candidacy all along has drawn its main support from the campus, from academics and intellectuals, from some of the suburbs, and from swinging millionaires like Stewart Mott and Xerbx Geographically despite McGovern's South Dakota origin his support comes from the Northeast, with the addition, of some enclaves on the West Coast.

The Commerce Department' Wednesday announced that an export license has been issued for the Boeing jets, destined for civilian-airline use by the People's Republic of China. Boeing officials have been negotiating for months with the Chinese government for the sale, spokesmen said. The Commerce Department said it did not require contracts in hand before issuing a license.

Cities, towns and villages enjoyed independence and non Interference by other depart menu, adjacent communities or political or minority groups. The organization of a state police, state troopers or highway patrol was never thought of since no need was considered. However, with the coming of the motor vehicle (great, great grandchild of the One of the signs of the active turmoil in which the United States finds itself is the nature of some decisions handed down by the Supreme Court. As the final judicial arbiter, decisions of the top court always have held greater importance than those of lower tribunals. The court on a single day of decision can, and frequently does, upset a number of traditions of the past.

The issues are fundamental, and thus the decisions are far reaching. Such important issues as capital punishment, wiretapping, a newsman's right to protect his information sources, the scope of congressional immunity, and, yes, the right of an individual to use foul and abusive language in a public forum have been ruled upon. In Princeton, N.J., Cambridge, or Hanover, N.H., the McGovern backers do not much resemble the Knights of Labor or the sons of the soil. In 1970 New York mayoral candidate Mario Proccacino coined the term "Limousine to describe John Lindsay and his supporters. For 1972,, columnist.

Kevin Phillips has had this, happy in spri a tion regarding JWcGoverniim: Porsche Pomilists.7 7 7 BERRY'S WORLD 4V That last one, while it may seem among the least important, deserves careful consideration. If the purpose of civilization and an ordered society is to elevate man and his 'relations with hi neighbors to a notch above that of the lower animal kingdom, that purpose must recognize proper limitations to the individual rights specified in the Bill of Rights and subsequent amendments to the Constitution. The right of free speech, law decided long ago, does not include the right to shout "fire!" in a crowded hall, when in fact there is no fire. But is that the only limitation? In two cases before it the court ruled 54 and 6-3 that using foul and abusive language before a public gathering is a right guaranteed by the First Amendment. In so ruling, the court has charted a path toward a "return to the law of the jungle." That characterization was made by Chief Justice Burger in a heated dissenting opinion.

If that ruling is not subsequently changed, the rights of a majority who would be offended by such language in a public forum are nullified by the right of the few to shout profanities until they are hoarse. This means, by inference, that an individual against whom such foul and abusive language is directed will have no recourse but to turn away from his tormentor. This is not a normal human reaction to abuse. Not many decent citizens, we suspect, would refrain from reacting to a torrent of verbal filth any more than Supreme Court justices would if it were directed at them in the court roorn ri THE HERALD-PRESS PublUhad dally cacept Sunday by tr Palladia- Publishing Co. at I 16 Stale Si.
