'HV -j tJ -ta-oi. -x Saigon (UPI)-Political allies of President Nguyen Van Thieu and some of his most outspoken critics said Saturday they vehemently oppose Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern. But members of South Vietnam's vocal war protest movement say they hope McGovern will be elected.

"If Mr. McGovern is elected it would be a catastrophe not only for Vietnam but for all the nations like Vietnam in Southeast Asia," said former Foreign Minister Tran van Do. Do, 69, an adviser to Thieu and delegate to the 1954 Geneva Conference, noted that McGovern promised to go to Hanoi if necessary to help end the war; to stop the U.S. bombing of North Vietnam and to withdraw all American troops from Vietnam "within 90 days of my said the Saracen tanks had four-inch armored plate and would provide better protection than the thinly-plated armored personnel carriers (APC) now being used. An army spokesman said a patrol at Silverridge found the booby-trapped bomb on a road about one mile from the border with the Irish Republic.

While an army explosives expert was attempting to dismantle it the bomb exploded, killing him instantly. He was the sixth army bomb expert killed in Northern Ireland. Soldiers in Londonderry said they killed one gunman and injured another following an attack on the Masonic Point army post. In Belfast, troops claimed one gunman hit in the Lenadoon area, the district seized by soldiers Thursday-Friday in a night-long battle with snipers. "I think he certainly will not be elected that's all we can hope," said Do, who served as Thieu's personal envoy last fall during talks with North Vietnamese Paris peace delegate Xuan Thuy.

But Father Chan Tin, Roman Catholic publisher of the anti-government magazine told UPI "The points he (McGovern) made in his acceptance speech are good ones." Tin was sentenced last fall to a six-month jail term for publishing an article in his magazine favorably describing progress in all areas inside North Vietnam. He is free on uppeal. The priest also met with McGovern in September when the candidate paid a three-day visit to Vietnam. During the meeting with McGovern at Tin's Redemptorist church, a fire bomb was thrown into the building. "The war is enslaving the country," said Tin.

"If he (McGovern) is elected there will be changes in American society, In Vietnam he will be useful. He will end the war and stop the bombing, which is now destroying the nation's resources. Some U.S. officials in Vietnam who have been carrying out Nixon's policies are dismayed at the prospect of McGovern's being elected. One official said the war can be won if President Nixon is reelected and "The American people have the tenacity and the will.

If McGovern wins, it will be a whole new ball-gamete said. Radio Hanoi, monitored in Saigon, broadcast news of McGovern's nomination without comment Friday. CROUCHING Scottish troops attempt to flush out an Irish sniper In one of a series of gun-battles and bombings that have pushed Northern Ireland to the brink of what British Defense Secretary Lord Carrlngton termed "disaster." A mass exodus of civilians has begun. (Story at right) (UPI) Under fire Chess antics irksome BELFAST (UPI) Growing numbers of Roman Catholics fled southward across the border in a mass exodus to the Irish Republic Saturday to escape a mounting wave of violence in Northern Ireland. The death toll in the last two days rose to 11 when a British army explosives expert was blown to bits while trying to defuse a bomb.

The Irish Republican Army was reported using mortars as well as rockets to battle the British army. Heavily-armored Saraceen tanks were being shipped to Northern Ireland to counter the threat of the IRA rockets, British army sources said. Since the collapse of the cease-fire six days ago, 31 persons have died 20 civilians, 19 soldiers and one member of the reserve Ulster Defense Regiment. It was one of the bloodiest weeks in Ulster's current troubles. The overall death toll in the three years of carnage reached 139.

Thousands more have been wounded or injured in shootings and bombings across the province. In Belfast, the British army said the IRA was now using mortars against security forces. Troops found an unexploded homemade mortar shell near an army observation post in the Catholic Ballymurphy area Saturday and said it had been fired at them Friday night. IRA gunners were reported to have fired bazooka-type rockets at British troops during heavy fighting Thursday night and Friday morning.

HONOLULU (UPI) In a major ruling a federal judge has declared illegal the 1967 General Telephone and Electronics Corp.

purchase of the Hawaiian Telephone Co. Federal Judge Martin Pence said Friday that it is "reasonably probable" the nation will end up with just two giant telephone systems if the GTE acquisitions are "not only cut off now but in some measure rolled back." He ordered GTE to divest itself of the 1 Hawaiians' stock on grounds that the purchase had violated state and federal anti-trust laws. Pence indicated he will order GTE to divest itself of other acquisitions because they created an "internal monopolistic program." Pence also sharply criticized the Public Utilities Commission for what he called a lack of study before approving the merger. REYKJAVIK (UPI) Bobby Fischer may have helped the sales of chess sets in the United States but in Iceland, where chess is taken seriously, he has few if any friends left. In contrast Russian world champion Boris Spassky has never before been more popular with Iceland's 210,000 chess mad inhabitants.

Icelanders are beginning to ask themselves why they bothered to bid for the "chess match of the century," as the Fischer-Spassky world championship match has been billed. "If we had known Bobby Fischer well enough we might have though twice before bidding for the match," said one official of the Icelandic Chess Federation. When the temperamental American failed to show up for the second game Thursday and the judge announced from the stage that he had forfeited the game, the spectators rose and applauded. "Send him back to the United States," shouted one voice in English from the gallery. Iceland's five daily newspapers, which were gearing up to cover their biggest story in years, have also turned on the 29-year-old American.

"The chess scandal of the century," said the Timinn, one of the leading newspapers. Foods cleanup pushed WASHINGTON (UPI) -The Health Education and Welfare Department announced Saturday it will try to enlist consumer help to crack down on widespread unsanitary conditions found in food processing plants. The department advised Congress it agreed completely with the findings of a General Accounting Office (GAO) investigator's report that brought the situation to light. "This report has already been and will continue to be useful to FDA (the Food and Drug Administration, HEW the Congress, the food industries and consumers," the HEW statement said. GAO is a congressional watchdog agency.

HEW said it concurred with all nine recommendations made by the investigators, including a more effective government use of consumer complaints. An automated data system for recording complaints is being implemented on a nationwide basis to provide FDA field managers "with the information needed to follow up on complaints referred to states or other regulatory bodies for corrective action," HEW said.

Kennedy the 11-year-old son of the late American President. A 22-page statement issued by police said the two gangs also planned to carry out a series of other kidnapings, as well as robberies and bombings.

The four West Germans were identified by authorities as members of the terrorist "20th October Movement" while the other gang was comprised entirely of Greeks inspired by ideas of what police called the "new left." Police said one of the suspects, identified as Panayo-tis Kabanas, 45, a literature teacher and economist, told them the gangs intended "if we were well organized" to kidnap young Kennedy. "We could have blackmailed her (Jacqueline Kennedy Onas-sis) for as much money as we wanted," police said Kabanas told them. -X S' STANLEY A young Montana man died Saturday morning of injuries received in a car-bicycle accident Friday.

Mrs. H.F. Waggoner, chairman of the Twin Falls Senior Citizens Advisory Council, said the group must raise the cash for the center within two weeks. The building, located across from the Sears parking lot on Main Ave. West, carried a $20,000 price tag.

The owner has agreed to hold the building for two weeks to allow the group to raise the initial payment, a group spokesman said. She also said the building, a former nursing home, is equipped with a kitchen to serve meals. A previous attempt at providing meals for senior citizens for several months failed in May when the facilities used were withdrawn. Other uses seen for the building are for recreation and general walk-in activities, Mrs. Waggoner said.

Persons wishing to contribute to the building fund may send their donations to Twin Falls Senior Citizens Advisory Council; Post Office Box 531, Twin Falls, Idaho. Mrs. Waggoner said this week the council, six months old, is seeking to incorporate as a nonprofit corporation. Forecast Chess play to continue REYKJAVIK Iceland (UPI) Chief arbiter Lothar Schmid said Saturday night television cameras cannot be removed from the Reykjavik chess hall as American challenger Bobby Fischer has demanded and the third game of the world chess championship will be played Sunday as scheduled. .29 I Details, SAIGON (UPI)-Allied officers said Saturday that 1,000 North Vietnamese troops inside the stone walls of the Quang Tri citadel fortress have been ordered to "hold until death" against South Vietnamese forces trying to recapture the provincial capital.

The officers, based at Army corps headquarters at Hue, also said that the Communists have ordered at least 2,500 fresh troops normally based in Laos into the fighting for Quang Tri province. UPI reporter Chad Huntley said the officers told him that U.S. and South Vietnamese officers are considering three separate plans to retake the inner citadel fortress. The officers said government marines and paratroopers could storm the citadel, a plan likely to cause heavy government casualties; they could pull back and allow U.S. airpower to, "smash the city to smith- ereens," or they could surround the citadel and attempt to starve out the North Vietnamese troops inside.

"In any of the cases, it will be tough to take Quang Tri," one allied officer told Huntley. "We know that the Communists have been ordered to hold the citadel until death." The North Vietnamese soldiers inside the 500-yard square fortress are well armed, the sources said, with weapons ranging from rifles and mortars through heavy antiaircraft guns. South Vietnamese airborne and marine forces maneuvered as close as 800 yards to the Quang Tri citadel Saturday, military spokesmen said, but little fighting was reported. 5 I Make under Wage clamps off V. 'A WASHINGTON (UPI)-A federal court has enjoined the Cost of Living Council (COLC) from limiting pay hikes for low income workers in a decision that could end wage controls for every person earning less' than $7,000 per year.

The Labor Department and AFL-CIO estimated that the ruling would apply to 14 million persons, exempting about half the nation's nonsupervlsory workers from wage controls. U.S. District Judge William B. Jones said in a 20-page opinion Friday that the COLC had violated the intent of Congress by setting the floor for wage controls too low. The court questioned "the assumptions of COLC in adjusting the level of exemption from controls downward from approximately $3.35 per hour ($6,960 annually) to $1.90 per hour ($3,952 annually)." Quoting an amendment to the Economic Stabilization Act of 1970, the judge said that "wage increases to any individual whose earnings are substandard or who is a member of the working poor shall not be limited in any manner." The International Union of Electrical Workers, which argued that even $3.35 per hour was too low for controls, filed suit when the Cost of Living Council ruled that 5.5 per cent pay boost guidelines should apply to all workers earning $1.90 per hour or more.

COLC opposed the suit saying The Labor Department lists $7,000 as the annual income an urban family of four needs to maintain a "lower" standard of living. An annual income of $3,952 is poverty. A spokesman for the AFL-CIO, which along with several other unions joined the suit after it was filed, called the ruling "an absolute vindication of our position." The Cost of Living Council may appeal Jones' decision, a spokesman said. that it would exempt too many workers. About 9 million earn less than $1.90 per hour.

The higher figure would increase the number exempted to about 23 million. The judge said COLC's "alarm at prospect of an exemption from wage controls for 50 per cent of the nonsupervlsory working force is less convincing In light of its recent ruling exempting small businesses from both price and wage regulations."
