TUESDAY, JULY 4, 1072 SUN-DEMOCRAT, PADUCAHI, KY. Two Gunmen Rob Race Track Fans BALTIMORE (AP) Two armed men commandeered a busload of race track fans Monday and forced the driver to circle the city while they robbed the passengers. The two men, one armed with a shotgun, fled the bus with Today's Grain Features CHICAGO (AP) A strong demand coupled with heavy short covering sent soybean futures prices 7 cents a bushel higher on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Wheat futures advanced 5 cents and corn nearly 3 cents. Oats gained cents.

Soybean meal futures soared to $109.10 a ton in the nearby July option--the highest price ever quoted for any soybean meal contract on the exchange. The previous high was $108.50, set in August 1966. Oil futures this session gained around 20 points. Soybeans opened higher by cents and moved progressively higher, reaching the session's top just before the close. Oil and meal prices moved i in tandem with beans, except that oil trade was lighter.

A major factor in the buying in the complex was a survey made by the American Soybean Association indicating that while acreage in soybeans would be greater than last year, farmers expect lower yields. The heavy buying i in wheat followed an opening that showed prices cents above Friday's close. Corn and oats generally advanced on buying linked to improved exports as well as a good commercial demand. At the close, soybeans were up 7 cents, July 3.55; wheat was higher, July 1.49½: corn was up nearly 3 cents higher, July 1.22⅝ and oats were higher, July cents.

TuesIday. 413 an hour later at the Baltimore Beltway Interchange with Route 95 in Halethorpe, a small suburban community 10 miles south of here, police said. No one was hurt. Thomas M. Manning, manager of the Baltimore Motor Coach said the bus carried 46 passengers and was en route to Delaware Park Race Course at Stanton, Del.

Manning said the gunmen, who had boarded the bus at the downtown Baltimore Civic Center at about 11 a.m., pulled guns on the driver as the bus neared the Baltimore Beltway on Pulaski Highway, north of the city. He said the driver was forced to enter the beltway and drive completely around the city while the gunmen went from passenger to passenger, taking valuables. Forty-three of the 46 passengers told police they had been robbed. George Dotson, the bus driver, said the bandits ordered him to stop the bus at the interchange and that both fled on foot over an embankment and across the busy highway. No getaway car was seen, Dotson said.

The three passengers who were not robbed said they merely told the gunmen they had no money. Manning said one passenger scribbled a note calling for help and dropped it from the moving bus as the robbery was in progress, but it was lost in the stream of 65-mile-an-hour traffic.

The day saw these developments: -The six-man board of the Icelandic Chess Federation, sponsors of the 24-game match, rejected Fischer's demands for 30 per cent of the gate receipts. This would amount to considerable sums for both Fischer and Spassky because the match could last as long as two months. Under present terms for the match, the winner is to receive $78,125 and the loser $46,875.

In addition each would receive 30 per cent of the income from sales of television and photographic rights. -In London, investment banker James D. Slater announced that he would pour 000 pounds into the kitty. At the official rate of exchange, this amounts to $130,000. He proposed that the winner receive $156,000 and the loser the remainder.

Another alternative, Slater said, would add the entire $130,000 to the winner's cut, making it a total of $208,125. "I like and have played it for years," said Slater. "Many want to see this match if Fischer does not go to Iceland, many will be disappointed. -The Soviet Chess Federation, issuing a protest in Moscow, declared that on the basis of what Fischer has already done-failed to appear for the scheduled start of the match on Sunday--he merits "unconditional disqualification."

Yablonski and his wife and daughter.

Though far from free, sources say Mrs. Gilly is living comfortably on a rolling farm in 1 Fayette County, rented by the state for a reported $1,000 a month. Sources say she also receives a $10-a-week allowance and is visited regularly by a dresser. Figuring i in the cost of roundthe-clock guards, the rent, food and other miscellaneous expenses, one well-placed investigator says the arrangement is costing nearly $200,000 a year, most if not all to be paid by the state. But he maintains that it is worth the expense because Mrs.

Gilly is "safe and comfortable." "She understands that we can't promise her anything, no matter how much she cooperates," he said.

While at the resort she usually ate in the main dining room and was permitted outside oCcasionally to sun, but enjoyed few other freedoms.

Meanwhile, the investigation into the slayings continues, and special prosecutor Richard Sprague says more arrests are expected. "Sure, it was steep," one source said when asked about the cost of Mrs.

Gilly's confession and agreement to turn state's evidence. "But we wanted the people who paid for this thing, not just the people who did it, and her talking unstuck a lot of things."

The City of Brotherly Love has imposed the stiffest charge of any yet levied or per person for all air trayelers arriving at the airport as well as for all of those departing. There was less difficulty initially at the other airports with lighter traffic and with a more modest $1 fee for departing passengers only: Richmond, Sarasota-Brandenton, Huntsville, and TriCity Airport at Saginaw, Mich. A spokesman for the Air Transport Association said since the head taxes at the airports went into effect July 1, a Saturday, they have not yet been fully tested.

"Thousands of people refused to pay the tax, upon which refusal most carriers asked the passenger to fill out and sign a special form." Philadelphia city officials said they would make it clear to passengers that stiff fines and penalties await those who refuse to pay.
