The Pocono Record, The Stroudsburgs, Pa. July 18, 1972 Fischer defeats Russia's Spassky REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) -American challenger Bobby Fischer defeated Boris Spassky in the third game of their $250,000 world championship cliess match Monday and cut the Russian champion's lead to one point. Fischer's win, his first ever over Spassky, came when the Russian conceded game on the 42nd move, his position hopeless. Spassky won Ihe first two games, with Fischer conceding Ihe first after 56 moves and forfeiting second by refusing to show up in a protest against closed-circuit television cameras in the hall. The fourth game of match is scheduled for 5 p.m.

(1 p.m. EOT) today with Fischer playing the white pieces and making the first move. The temperamental American was not even in the 1 auditorium when the third game ended. Judge Lothar Schmid of West Germany opened a sealed brown envelope with a move Fischer had written down Sunday night when the game was adjourned, then moved Fischer's bishop to queen six to check Spassky's king. The Russian took one quick look at the board, then stopped his game clock, signalling lhat he had given lip.

Fischer rushed into the the hall 10 minutes later and asked Schmid. "What happened? Has he Schmid said Spassky had indeed given up, and Fischer rushed out again to the applause of what was left of the audience in the hall. Chess experts predicted Sunday Fischer would win the third game when he took command on the 38th and 39th moves and forced two queen checks in the fifth hour of play in a small backstage room in tlie same room as the auditorium. Inmates protest at Attica prison Nixon wants trade pact with Russia by end of year A CLEMENTE, a i (UPI)--President Nixon in- slructed Commerce Secretary Peter G. Peterson Monday to try and reach a comprehensive new trade agreement with the Soviet Union before the end of the year.

Peterson said he expected the agreement to include settlement of the Russian World War II I.end-l.ease debt, establish credit arrangements for the expanded trade, deal with such controversial issues as patent laws and Russia's desire for "most-favored nation" status and include a maritime agreement by which some ports of each country would be opened to ships of the other. "We all agree we have some ATTICA, (UPI(-Nearly three-quarters of the Attica Correctional Facility's 1,200 inmates refused to leave cells Monday in the first major display of discontent at (he prison since last fall's bloody rebellion that claimed 43 lives. Officials closed the prison to newsmen and lawyers but said and friends of inmates 'whose names appeared on an approved list were allowed to enter. "1 don't know how long this will last, hut things are perfectly calm so far," said Supt. Ernest L.

Montayne. Two UMW officials indicted ASH IN GTON, a. I -A Washington County grand jury indicted two United Mine Workers (UMW) officials Monday on three counts of murder each in connection with the Dec. 31, 1969 slayings of union insurgent Joseph A. "Jock" Yablonski, his wife and daughter.

But the panel dismissed charges that William Jack Prater. 53, of LaFollette. and Albert Pass, 58, of Middleboro, conspired with five others to assassinate the Yab- lonskis at their home in nearby Clarksville. Prater is a field representative and Pass secretary-treas- Urer of UMW District 19, comprising Tennessee and southeastern Kentucky. Each pleaded innocent at preliminary hearings.

They were the first UMW officials arrested for the slaying of Yab- ionski following his unsuccessful 1969 campaign for the union presidency against incumbent W.A. "Tony" Boyle. Three of the original five suspects have plead- Ud guilty. 17 arrested in drug raid ALLENTOWN. Pa.

i I i Members of the AHcnlown Police Vice Squad made a sweep through this Lehigh Valley area Monday in a move aimed at tracking down on drug traffic the area. Police said 17 persons were arrested and more apprehensions were anticipated. Those arrcslt'd included hnlli adults and juveniles. They were booked on charges of selling narcolics, including heroin, marijuana and LSI). Police said (he arrests came after an investigation was conducted by the Lehigh County Narcotics Information Center.

$1.5 billion in drugs seized WASHINGTON I -A record $1.5 billion illicit drugs and narcotics were seized by the II. S. fiureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs during fiscal 1972, director John E. Ingcrsnll announced Monday. A total $676,590,347 of illicit narcotics and dangerous drugs were removed from the illegal U.

S. market nlone by special agents, the bureau said. The action was apparently touched off when a nurse was taken off the work rolls but it apparently was also closely lied with failure to meet 2B demands set down by inmates during the rebellion. Montayne said the protest "appears to stem from the fact a nurse (Mary Kingsley) was terminated." He said two temporary nurses were hired but that "funds ran out and we were able to keep one and had to eliminate the other." Groups representing both corrections officers and inmates expressed concern lhat the state had not improved conditions at the maximum security prison. A spokesman for the Attica Defense Committee (ADC), a group of lawyers representing inmates suspected of leading last September's disturbance, said "You wouldn't get 900 people locking themselves into their cells over a single incident.

It is the whole situation that is involved. This termination may have precipitated the incident, but it's only part of the reforms they need and want." Tax reform defeated New Jersey Republican legislative leader Richard DeKorte stands to watch the voting board as the tax reform bill including Gov. William Cahill's income tax proposal is defeated in the assembly Monday by a 52-23 vote. Charles Reid sits at DeKorte's left and watches the voting. (UPI Telephoto) Laird suggests McGovern made deal with Eagleton WASHINGTON I Defense Secretary Mclvin R.

Uiird suggested Monday thai Democratic nominee George S. McGovern may have made a deal lo insure production of the F15 fighter plane in order to get Sen. Thomas F. Eagleton, to be his vice presidential running mate. At a news conference laced with political shots at the Democratic presidential candidate.

Laird also challenged the cre'dibility of McGovern's claim that U.S. prisoners of war would be released almost automatically once U.S. forces withdrew from Indochina. He said nothing the North Vietnamese have said to U.S. officials, other allied governments or lo the Soviet Union and China bears out the South Dakota.senator's contention.

The F15, dubbed the Eagle by the Air Force last week, is being produced by McDonnell- Douglas Ail-craft Corp. in home town of St. Louis. The contract calls for the spending of S7.3 billion to produce 749 planes. Thus far the Air Force has spent $1.14 billion in developing (lie F15.

Laird said that under deep defense budget cuts previously proposed by McGovern prior to his winning the Democratic nomination, the F15 would be subject to immediate cancellation. "I am led to believe, however," Laird told newsmen, "that perhaps the new vice presidential candidate --as part of liis agreement to run --has been able to get a-modification of the decision of the presidential candidate to cancel that particular contract." In an added political jab. the defense secretary commented: "St. Louis has been known as Phantom Town, U.S. because the F4 Phantom jet was built there.

It will be known as Eagle Town, U.S.A., in the future because of the Eagle fighter." Of McGovern's prisoner of war approach, Laird said "I do not believe that promise is a legitimate promise or one that is credible. I would question the credibility of lhat statement based on all the information available."

The Rev.

Jack Fitzsimons, a Catholic pries! who led almost 6,000 Catholic residents of the district in ail evacuation Sunday to protest the presence of British troops at the trouulcspol. said the IRA told him they had called off their operations in Lenadoon.
