Pace 2--The Robwaian. Wednesday. 6Denominations, 30 Congregations Join Churchy Community Center Action Line ACTION UNI quttHom tram readers, with information from local is with the prah lams of relating to public agencies and tor- and with questions of general interest. Write Action line, The tobetonian, Lumberton, N. or dial 739-4325 The "good news" that six denominations and 20 individual congregations have affiliated with the Robeson County Church and Community Center and that two of these have applied for supporting denominational grants was the high point of the last quarterly meeting of the Center's Board of Directors.

The meeting was held Thursday at Old Foundry Restaurant with 35 members and observers attending and Adolph Dial, chairman, presiding. The Rev. Robert L. Mangum, director of the Center, announced the inter-denominational par- ticiaption that showed marked increase since the directors' meeting in March, when a Constitution was adopted providing for such participation outside of the United Methodist Church. The Center was established as a project of the Bishops' Fund for Reconciliation of the United Methodist Church in 1968, the first such project in North Carolina, and was funded for three years.

It was its goal from the beginning to help the churches of Robeson "to become more involved in the ministryof the whole Gospel. it began and has continued a "seven-fold ministry of emergency aid, referral, pastoral counseling, mobilization of volunteers for service, information and research, creation of new services, and dialogue across racial, class and denominational separateness." That the goal of interdenominational participation is being realized was manifest at the Thursday meeting with the announcement that application has been made by two local congregations to their national denominations for grants in the amount of $5,000 each to implement the program of the Robeson County Church and Community Center. These denominations are the Lutheran Church of America and the United Presbyterian Church. Requests for the funding were made by the former's one Robeson congregation, St. Mark's Lutheran in Lumberton, the Rev.

R. Wayne Wood, pastor, and by Bethany Presbyterian, Lumberton, the Rev. Arnold Walker, pastor. James O. Scipio of Bethany and the Rev.

Wood stated at the directors' meeting that the $5,000 Reunification (Continued from Page l) changes in a number of fields and to promote reunification by peaceful means. They also agreed to refrain from armed provocations and from slandering and defaming each other. As a furst step, they opened a telephone hot line between the two capitals Tuesday.

The commissioners asked them to go back and pin the figures down a bit more concretely. The formal request this month had pared the total down to $649,362, broken down as follows: $118,020 to complete the present building; $7500for a master plan; and $523,842 for additional buildings to house the shops presently slated to be left at the old The commissioners questioned the amount needed to complete the present building "as originally planned," wondering whether that meant "as they wanted it in the beginning" or "as it was planned when the bids were let." They directed county manager Paul Graham to get a breakdown on the $118,020 figure by their next meeting so they could see just how much was to be spent for what. Commissioner Noble said that the line had to be drawn "We "tfrjgf folfy' agreed to $264,000," he said. "Then we in $100-000 for water and sewer lines.

Then we had to come up with $20,000 more. And now they need $118,000 more. That's $238,000 more than was originally asked for and the foundation's not even in.

Alexander's phalanx advanced relentlessly until Councilman E.B.

Turner, the man who heads the mayor's special committee investigating the matter, counter-attacked. After a spirited session in which Turner matched the other campaign in facts, emotion, and design, the battle was called a draw, with the "Red army" and "Blue Army" agreeing to meet with the "umpires" to decide who, if anyone, won the set-to. Mayor Musselwhite, after listening to the Alexander group's steadfast demands that they would pay any amount the city of Lumberton felt was necessary, sent the committee back for further negotiations. The third major problem not handled at the Monday night session the matter of whether or not to go against the wishes of a fellow councilman and put a piece of his property back into the Downtown Urban Renewal project, where the city's Redevelopment Commission wants it will have to wait two weeks before it is tackled again. RESOLUTION Art Shain, Redevelopment i i a i a presented a resolution by his group, which called for the Bullard property to be tucked back into the project, where the Redevelopment people had it originally.

Councilman Frank Benton suggested that the council draw up its own decision, and Mayor Musselwhite asked City Attorney Luther Britt to take care of it. After the meeting was over, there was considerable discussion of just what the resolution would say. The Mayor and Britt were of the opinion that it would be sjmilar' to the Redevelopment Commission resolution. However, Councilman Bullard and Councilman Harry Ivey felt it would not necessarily be like the one passed by the Redevelopment Commission.

Police said Smith apparently slipped aboard the unoccupied jet about 5 a.m. and demanded that American Airlines provide a pilot for the craft, "I want a pilot," he shouted to police and FBI agents who surrounded the plane as it stood at a terminal gate.

A group of FBI agents and police gathered near a ramp to the plane, using a baggage cart as a barricade. A man and woman took turns using a bullhorn to call up to Smith. The woman, identified by an FBI agent as Smith's mother, walked part way up the ramp at one point, talked with Smith, then returned. Smith and the girl were vis- hie just inside the plane. Scores of airline passengers passed through the terminal as usual.

Many seemed unaware of what was happening at the American gate. Front the upper level of the airport terminal, newsmen could see Smith holding the girl in his arms.

By STEPHENS BROENING Assoieated Press Writer REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) The world championship chess match between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky now is scheduled to start Thursday afternoon following another psotponement, this one demanded by the Soviet champion. After holding out for more money and getting it, the American challenger came to Iceland for the postponed opening match Tuesday. But Spassky walked out of the noon drawing to decide who would move first because Fischer was not present.

He had sent his second, a Roman Catholic priest. Officials announced a new 49- hour postponement of the open-: er, originally scheduled for last Sunday. They hoped both players would be ready to meet on Thursday. Fischer arrived in Reykjavik early Tuesday. The Icelandic Chess Federation had rejected his demand for 30 per cent of the gate receipts, but he agreed to come after a London investment banker doubled the $125,000 purse which he and a Spassky will divide.

The 29-year-old American grandmaster was resting from the overnight flight in a guarded villa at the edge of town when Spassky counterattacked in the holdout department. The 35-year-old Soviet champion read a prepared statement calling the American's conduct insulting, and intolerable. It said Fischer, by refusing to appear at the opening ceremony last weekend, had insulted Spassky personally and the Soviet Chess Federation and had jeopardized his right to play for the title. The statement demanded that Fischer be punished. However, Max Euwe, president of the international federation, said the Soviets had not formally requested punishment.

"What should I do?" he asked. "Put him in the corner?" Fischer was staying away from newsmen and did not comment on the Soviet statement. With the contribution from the London banker, James D. Slater, the winner is to get $156,250 and the loser $93,750. In addition, each player will get another $75,000 from the television and film rights.

"The plants were ready before the farmers and the condition of the fields. Many growers too early in the fields and the plants were killed by the late frost and freeze," he said.

"On top of that, we had a siege of cool, damp weather which lasted for several days. This was followed by about 10 days of rain during which temperatures ranged between 40 and 65 degrees. This ideal combination caused an epidemic of blue mold," Cyrus said. The weather, however, turned warmer and the sun helped halt the blue mold fungus. Then a drought set in for nearly three weeks.
