Military spokesmen said 3,500 men were involved in the latest South Vietnamese drive to retake the city and its surrounding province, captured by the Communists May 1. Saigon troops moved into the area June 28.

Communist soldiers fighting to hold the city, South Vietnam's northernmost provincial capital, met the Saigon troops head-on in 11 separate battles around Quang Tri city, spokesmen said. The Saigon command reported 36 government troops killed and 86 wounded in the fighting. The latest South Vietnamese attempt to retake the city followed bombardment of the area by nine waves of B52 bombers, strikes by more than 150 fighter-bombers and shelling by 14 Navy destroyers and cruisers off the coast. The U.S. command announced Wednesday the downing of five American aircraft-three helicopters, a Marine A6 fighter-bomber and a Navy F4 Phantom.

Six crewmen were listed as missing. American fighter bombers flew 290 raids over North Vietnam Tuesday, the command said. The Navy Phantom was shot down by a MIG 17 30 miles north of the capital of Hanoi. It was the 996th U.S. plane lost to the North Vietnamese since 1964, and the 63rd American plane lost to MIG fire over the North in the same period.

The heaviest fighting near Quang Tri city was one mile north of town where dozens of U.S. Marine helicopters based on offshore aircraft carriers unloaded 1,000 South Vietnamese troops Tuesday. The three downed American helicopters were lost to Communist ground fire during the landing operation, military spokesmen said. The South Vietnamese said most of the 15 Soviet-built tanks knocked out in the battles around Quang Tri city were hit by government ground troops and artillery fire. Military sources said U.S.

Air Force jets based in Thailand used laser -guided "smart bombs" to destroy four Communist antiaircraft positions around the city. The deadly accurate and expensive laser bombs are usually saved for larger targets over North Vietnam, but especially heavy antiaircraft fire around the city made it neceessary to knock out the gun positions, the sources said.

Fischer, who had stopped play in the game for 35 minutes to protest the presence of two closed circuit television cameras high above the contest stage, conceded to the Russian on the 56th move.

He gave up when he saw he could not prevent Spassky moving his only surviving pawn to Fischer's side of the board, thus turning it into a queen, the most powerful piece in game. Fischer stood up, made a helpless gesture to the audience and walked off. The second game was scheduled for Thursday at 1 p.m. EDT. Play in the interrupted first game resumed on time, but Fischer walked out after three moves to protest the two television cameras.

Match organizers covered the cameras with a cloth, but Fischer said they still bothered him. Spassky, wearing a slate jacket and beige trousers, made the first move Wednesday, taking one of Fischer's remaining pawns. Fischer then took a pawn from Spassky with his king. After 40 moves and iVz hours of play Tuesday, Spassky held' the advantage with a bishop and three pawns against Fischer's five pawns. Play was halted when Spassky, 35, asked for an adjournment and Fischer agreed.

The match may go for 24 games. Spassky as champion must get 12 points to win. Fischer as challenger must get 12-Ms. Each win counts for one point and a draw V2 point. Fischer, 29, arrived for Tuesday's opening game eight minutes after Spassky, playing the white pieces, made his first move.

The American challenger responded to Spassky's opening queen gambit by setting up a Nimzo-Indian defense. The two exchanged major pieces, including the queens in the 11th and 12th moves of the game. Playing briskly, Fischer pulled a bishop back to queen two on the 14th move to prepare the way for active use of his rooks. Then Fischer made a move that most experts said ended his chance of winning the game. The American took Spassky's king rook pawn with his bishop, but left his last remaining -major piece trapped.

The soft spoken Spassky then showed why he is world champion by "quickly taking Fischer's bishop while losing only two of his pawns. Chess experts could not explain why Fischer moved into what appeared to a trap by' Spassky. 16-0Z. SIZE GREAT FOR SOOTHING SUNBURNS 13-OZ. SIZE REG.
