Fresh Fighting Erupts As Ten Die in Ulster Htonning, a 0 2 JL CHILDREN'S LETTERS By COUN BAKEK BELFAST Republican Army (IRA) gunmen returned to the attack today, their 13-day cease-fire abandoned. Gunbattles a across Belfast and Londonderry and 10 persons died in the fighting or through "executions." In the first hours after the IRX Provisional wing called off their truce Sunday night, six civilians 'died in Belfast, including a 14-year-old girl and a Roman Catholic priest shot as he administered last rites to another victim. Earlier Sunday, while the cease-fire still was in effect, police found the bodies of four men who apparently had been executed. The deaths raised the loll for Northern Ireland's three years of bloodshed to 416. "We are very close to civil war," a spokesman for the Protestant Vanguard Movement said.

The militant Ulster Defense Association (UDA) marshalled men in the streets of Protestant neighborhoods. "These men have been called up for emergency duty," a UDA source said. "They are awaiting the call to arms." Sharp gunbattles raged in several parts of Belfast until the early morning hours. Most were between troops and a i snipers, although Protestant gunmen were drawn into the gun duels as well. Some of the bitterest fighting raged in the Catholic Ballymurphy section.

An army observation post in a lumber yard was heavily attacked, and it was near there that Father Noel Fitzpatrick was shot in the neck as he knelt over a dying man to administer the last rites. A Provisional IRA statement from Dublin accused British troops of breaking the cease- fire by firing rubber bullets and nausea gas at almost 2,000 Catholics, including women and children, trying to take over abandoned houses in the Protestant Suffolk housing estate. The confrontation developed into a gunbattle between troops and snipers. British commanders denied troops had broken the truce and said their men fired only when fired upon. Northern Ireland Secretary William Whitelaw said in a statement: "The? incident' was clearly set IRA to provide a justification for a resumption of terrorist activity." a spokesman for Whitelaw said he believed the incidents Sunday could, have been resolved by peaceful discussions which were going on, and said Whitelaw was ready to resume talks at.any time.

The trouble began- when the crowd of almost 2,000 Catholics, armed with wooden clubs, iron bars and garbage can lids, tried to march through an barricade sealing them off from the empty houses on the Protestant housing estate. After 10 soldiers had been injured by stones and one struck down with a golf club, troops opened up with rubber 'bullets and CS gas to disperse the crowd. As armored cars-' moved up they came under fire from snipers and a gunbattle developed. Within two hours the IRA had called off its cease-fire.

On a hunch, they flew to estate havebeen to the undersigned, to whom atf Chess Match To Begin; Fischer's Chair Arrives By IAN WESTERGREN REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) The Boris Spassky-Bobby; -Fischer world chess match can begin--Fischer's favorite chair arrived. The swivel chair in metal and' black leather was flown from New York to Iceland arid put on the stage in the Reykjavik hall Sunday. "Spassky's Russian advisers arrived shortly after the much talked about chair and studied it suspiciously. Then they left without comment. Now the Icelandic organizers a new problem: Where to find a similar chair in Iceland? "It would look better if both Spassky and Fischer had the same chairs," said Gudmundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic Chess Federation.

Fischer took one look at the dozen different chairs the Icelanders had assembled from Reykjavik's furniture stores the other day, sat down in some of them and then gave his verdict: "Fly in my own chair." 1 Spassky, the 35-year-old world champion, did not seem to worry much about details of the $250,000 match. Before leaving for a salmon fishing tour of northern Iceland the defending champion said, "I am not going to argue about chairs, chess boards and sets. I will leave that to Bobby. It makes no difference to me." After lengthy and dramatic preludes, both Fischer and Spassky appeared ready to start the first of their 24 games Tuesday. "Bobby is relaxed and ready.

We will play Tuesday unless Spassky is ill," said Fred Cramer, vice president of the U.S. Chess Federation. But the players still have to inspect and approve the facili- in the hall, where the organizers expect 3,000 fans paying $5 each to be on hand Tuesday. Gudmundur Arnlaugsson, deputy referee of the match, spent all day Sunday polishing off the fine details. He tested several chess boards and finally settled for one made in Iceland specially for the match.

It has been but together from Icelandic stones. Arnlaugsson, who had to take over when the chief referee Lothar Schmid of Germany flew home Saturday, also has a choice of five or six different chess sets of various sizes. Schmid said he would return Thursday after visiting his son, who was injured in a traffic accident. DR. GEORGE W.

"President Nixon, in his June 29 news conference, made it clear he obstinately sticks to his warmongering policies.
