THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1972 TWO--A SUN-DEMOCRAT, PADUCAH, KY. Talks Resume, Neither Side's Position Changed PARIS (AP) The peace talks resumed today after 10 weeks but the positions of both sides appeared unchanged. U.S. Ambassador William J. Porter put before the conference the four-point package President Nixon proposed on May 8.

The Viet Cong's chief delegate, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Binh, told newsmen she was ready to negotiate on the basis of the seven-point proposal she made a year ago. Hanoi's chief delegate, Xuan Thuy, called on the United States to end its bombardment of North "if it really desires to negotiate" an end to the war. The apparent lack of, change was no great surprise. Any progress toward agreement is expected to come in secret sessions.

Politburo member Le Duc Tho. is due back from Hanoi in the next few days, and this could mean more behindthe-scenes sessions with presi-, dential adviser Henry A. Kissinger or other U.S. officials. Porter told the Communists that he felt it possible to find a parallel to other peaceful developments in the world since the last session.

He referred to the peace moves between the two Koreas and the two Germanys and the agreement between the United States and the Soviet Union to settle differences by peaceful means. He did not mention U.S. relations with Communist China. Tho was in Peking Wednesday and held a "very and cordial" conversation with Premier Chou En-Lai, Radio Peking reported. The long series of secret talks between Kissinger and Tho have covered a broad range of issues but have not produced any significant, change in the conflicting negotiating positions.

Washington has always preferred private talks, contending that the Communists used the weekly semipublic sessions only as propaganda platforms. But North Vietnam in the past has refused to participate in secret talks unless the regular weekly sessions were also being held. Kissinger and Tho last met May 2. Two days later the United States suspended the semipublic talks indefinitely, and the U.S. delegation chief, William J.

Porter, told the Communists "we will resume whenever you indicate you are seriously interested in the negotiation of matters of substance; or when we believe discussions would be useful." President Nixon announced on June 29 that Porter was returning to the talks "on the assumption that the North Vietnamese are prepared to negotiate in a constructive and serious way." The State Department on Wednesday termed "totally without foundation" a report from Peking that the United States may be ready to make a significant concession. But spokesman Charles W. Bray did not answer directly when asked whether the United States would make any new proposal. Tennessee Delegate Defied State Law By CHRIS FRENCH MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) Sixteen of the Tennessee's 49- member delegation to the Democratic National Convention refused to obey the state law Wednesday night and did not vote for Alabama Gov.

George Wallace for the presidential nomination. The 16 refused to honor the obligation to vote for the primary winner only hours after the delegation asked Wallace to release all 49 Tennesseans from having to vote for him. State Sen. Avon Williams, a Nashville black, led representatives of the delegation in their visit to Wallace in his hotel bedrooms as the convention was getting its third session underway. After the meeting with Wallace, Williams suggested the best way to avoid having to vote for the Alabama governor was not to vote at all, which was the route he and three others took.

The first count reported gave Wallace 33 votes, Rep. Shirley Chisholm 10, Sen. Edward Kennedy one vote, and five persons abstaining. Then Tennessee recounted and reported an official tally of 32 votes for Wallace, Chisholm 7, Kennedy 1, four abstentions and five votes for the presidential nominee, Sen. George McGovern.

The move to deny Wallace the delegation's entire support as required by the state primary law began Wednesday morning when Williams tried to get a caucus of the delegation called after night long talks with other delegates. The meeting eventually convened during a cocktail reception, and after a tumultuous hour marked by shouting and parliametary disorder the delegation voted to go along with Williams' suggestion.

Chess Match REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Bobby Fischer today was reported threatening to break off his world championship chess match with Boris Spassky unless all movie cameras are removed from the playing hall.

"It's quite serious. He may not play at all," 'said a member of Fischer's entourage who asked not to be identified. Fischer was scheduled to meet the world champion from the Soviet Union later today. at 1 p.m. EDT for the second game of their 24-game match.

The American challenger lost the first game Wednesday night. staged a 30-minute walkout shortly after the play began Wednesday, complaining that a movie camera 150 feet away was making him nervous. The camera was hardly visible in the dimness outside the lighted players' circle, and it could not be heard by Fischer, but aides said the knowledge of its presence unnerved him. Chief referee Lothar Schmid of West Germany, who makes the decisions on all contested points in connection with the match, told Fischer during his walkout there was nothing he could do about the camera. Film and television rights for the match have been sold to an American promoter, and Fischer and Spassky are to get a share of the proceeds, estimated at a minimum of $27,500 each.

"It's up to Lothar Schmid whether Bobby plays," one of Fischer's advisers said today. Contacted at his hotel, Schmid said: "There will be a match tonight. If Fischer doesn't appear, he will take the consequences." A member of Fischer's camp Sparks Has Praise For McCracken By ERNEST VAUGHN Sun-Democrat Staff Writer Murray State University president Dr. Harry M. Sparks sang the praises of Paducah and McCracken County Wednesday in a speech at a meeting of the Paducah Rotary Club.

"The university has reached its golden anniversary because of people like you," Dr. Sparks said. He then listed the newspaper, radio and television, city and schools, businesses and industries, and Paducah Community College. The public image of the college student is not altogether correct, Dr. Sparks said.

He said most college students reject radical tactics and are basically a hard-working, concerned group. To be "involved" is the goal of today's student, Dr. Sparks said. He pointed out that the Student Government president at Murray State told him that there were two events he consid-' ered of real importance that occurred on campus last yearSpireno, a several-day evangelistic effort, and the rock opera, "Jesus Christ Superstar. To give an historical perspective, Dr.

Sparks noted 50 years ago there were 365 students as compared to 7,071 last year. In physical growth, Dr. Sparks said, almost $23 million has been spent on buildings in the last five years of which some 000 had been paid Paducah architects and building firms. The university has pumped in about $160,000 into the Jackson Purchase economy in the past five years, he said. Dr.

Sparks presented a number of Pad a h-McCracken County statistics as they relate to Murray State University: There are 1,269 university alumni residing in McCracken County. Last year, 663 students were enrolled -at the university from McCracken County Four of the 1972 summa cum laude graduates were from McCracken County. Thirty students three McCracken County are recipients of university scholarships for next year. Sixteen Paducah McCracken County businesses and industries have been added to the alumni association's Century Club, a program in which the university matches contributions for scholarships donated by businesses and industries. One hundred and fourteen student teachers from Murray State worked, in the Paducah-McCracken County schools last year.

Haddad Jr. has said he will appeal the conviction of Joseph Anthony Gargotto a Louisville burlesque theater owner, on 15 counts of willfully attempting to evade and defeat federal excise taxes due on wagers. U.S. District Judge James F. Gordon sentenced the 39-yearold former gambler Wednesday to five years in the federal penitentiary on the charges.

The judge refused a request by Haddad that he delay sentencing. and place Gargotto on probation. In his appeal to the 6th District U. S.

He said the records were taken without a search warrant and held by Commonwealth's Atty. Edwin A. Schroering Jr. The jury returned its guilty verdict in the case after days of testimony. A prosecution witness, Internal Revenue Service special investigator Joseph S.

Elder, testified that Gargotto's records showed he had received more that than $28,000 in wagers in March 1969, while he reported on tax forms that he had taken in $1,140.

Bombers Attack North SAIGON- (AP) American fighter-bombers hit North Vietnam Wednesday with the heaviest raids in more than a week. setting fire to fuel depots and supply and port facilities in the Hanoi-Haiphong area, the U.S. command announced today. The command reported more than 340 strikes were flown, equalling the number on July 5, and said the closest to Haiphong was within a mile of the city. North Vietnam charged that "many waves" of U.S.

planes attacked areas inside and outside Haiphong, that dozens of persons were killed and nearly 200 houses destroyed. Hanoi said an American RF4 reconnaissance plane was shot down. The U.S. Command as usual refused to comment on the North Vietnamese, charges and made no mention of any plane losses. The Navy said in a delayed report that the destroyers Robinson and Hamner sank one barge and damaged, two others after they had unloaded war materiels from a freighter Tuesday northwest of the port of Dong Hoi near Hon La Island.

The Navy did not identify the freighter, but it was presumably Chinese. It was not attacked. Mate (Continued From Page One) proceeded through its vention rites of nomination, McGovern penthouse suite at a holeft his tel up the beach to tell antiwar demonstrators he stood by his pledge for total U.S. withdrawal from Indochina. "I'm not shifting my position the fundamental stands I've taken," said McGovern, ringed by security agents as he faced the noisy, shoving demonstrators who had occupied the lobby six hours earlier.

After two straight all-night sessions, the climactic round of nominating speeches proceeded swiftly, with little semblance of the old-time hoopla and floor demonstrations. At last the roll call was reached and, as the Clock, struck midnight, McGovern's nomination was assured. Bedlam burst through the vast hall as supporters celebrated the victory of the man whose youthful legions had humbled the party's mighty. Forty five minutes later, when Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien announced the final totals, the hall again went wild.

Jubilant McGovern workers, their long quest against what seemed overwhelming odds crowned at last with success, kissed and hugged one another. A third roar went up five minutes later as O'Brien declared McGovern the party's nominee and designated a committee to inform him of his designation. The committee is headed by Ribicoff, who nominated McGovern in a losing quest four years ago and again Wednesday night as "a candidate tuned to the challenges of the future." When the roll of states was concluded, McGovern had 1,728.35 votes 219 more than he needed. After many votes had been changed, he wound up with 1,864.95. Behind him, in order, came Sen.

Henry M. Jackson, who inherited much of Humphrey's labor support, with 486.65; Wallace 377.50; Rep. Shirley Chisholm 101.45; former Gov. Terry Sanford of North Carolina 69.5; Humphrey 35; Rep. Wilbur D.

Mills of Arkansas 32.8; Muskie 20.8; Kennedy 10.65; Rep. Wayne L. Hays of Ohio former Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy of Minnesota and Sen.

Walter F. Mondale of Minnesota 1. As he sat in his hotel suite, surrounded by family, friends and aides, the victorious McGovern took phone calls from Kennedy, Humphrey and Muskie. Jackson sent a telegram pledging support. Mrs.

Chisholm, the first black woman ever nominated for president, took the rostrum to pledge a coast-to-coast campaign to oust President Nixon. Wallace In Seclusion Wallace, whose supporters sat silently while the McGovern backers whooped it up in the hall, remained in seclusion, at his hotel. Earlier in the day, his campaign manager, Charles Snider, said chances of a repeat of the governor's 1968 third-party race for president were growing "stronger and stronger every minute." But Dolph Briscoe of the Texas delegation said Wallace had told him there would be no third-party movement in 1972. Although his rivals were falling into line, one maior holdout was the barons of organized labor who fought McGovern's drive for the nomination to the bitter end. I.

W. Abel, president of the United" Steel Workers union, seconded Jackson's nomination by denouncing McGovern's labor record and warning of the risk in a McGovern nomination. Ribicoff declared, however, that McGovern "will lead the Democratic party to a great in November and added: "If I were a candidate for public office this year, I would want the enthusiastic lezions of McGovern workers ringing doorbells for me, too." And those legions were on hand for the night of triumph. In the senator's hotel. about 250 volunteers erupted in a loud cheer as the senator's total went over the top.

They chanted. "Reat Nixon- Beat Nixon!" In the hall, the Illinois announcement prompted chants of "We want McGovern! We want McGovern!" In a box to the right of the rostrum, Mrs. McGovern beamed, kissed her daughter and said, "It's unbelievable." The board's suggestion came at the recommendation of a committee of parents which said the board should act to correct problems in those areas. The parents said in a report presented to the board July 3 and made public this week that they were "concerned over reports that teachers experience difficulty in keeping order during class sessions." The report also said some teachers had reported they were not "adequately supported" by the school administration or the school board "in their efforts to maintain order." The parents were concerned as well that there appeared to be "one standard of discipline for blacks and another for whites," the report said. It listed several alleged incidents of misconduct at the school.

The report recommended "fair discipline" and greater support. of faculty and administration by the board on matters of discipline. Recommendations in the report included the use of guards in restrooms and elsewhere if needed to protect teachers, administrator students and public property.
