Fridoy, July 7, 1972 U.S., Swiss Treaty To Fight Crime Runs Into Opposition KOKOMO (Ind.) TRIBUNE 9 BERN, Switzerland (AP) TOe pro- posed U.S.-Swiss treaty that the Nixon administration considers a vital weapon against organized crime has run into stiff new opposition from influential Swiss banking and industrial circles. It is now certain to be delayed until next year, and speculation is growing that it may never take effect. After four years of negotiations, offi- cials of the two governments agreed last December on the draft of a complex "judicial assistance treaty," more than 100 pages long, that would help U.S. investigators collect evidence in Switzerland and track down funds deposited by American suspects in secrecy-protected Swiss bank accounts. Key clauses that prompted criticism were amended, and there was confidence on both sides that the treaty could be signed early this summer.

American sources concede that Swiss officials in several meetings made all- out efforts to win industry and banking support. But they have run into renewed resistance since spring, and one influential industry source said today the draft is still "completely unacceptable." He said Swiss business wants new talks next year. One criticism frequently made is that the present draft is lopsided in favor of (he United States and would give it sweeping rights in a country where many American companies have set up subsidiaries. These critics argue that the treaty would even permit American antitrust proceedings to be carried into Switzerland, which does not have such legislation. Fischer Loses Chess Draw REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Bobby Fischer lost the draw Thursday night giving Boris Spassky the first move, and the world championship chess match will finally start next Tuesday.

Unless the American challenger or the Soviet champion pleads illness and gets another postponement. The confusion of the past week was summarized by the old woman selling cigarettes who asked in the beginning: "Fischer come?" Near the end it was: "Spassky go?" "I'm very pessimistic," Dr. Max Euwe said at 10 a.m. At noon: "It's a very delicate situation." At 7 p.m., the, president of the International Chess Federation sighed: "There's hope." That was Tuesday. It could have been any day in the garbled prelude to what chess lovers say is the match of the century Spassky of the U.S.S.R.

vs. Fischer of the U.S.A. Spassky arrived early to wait for Bobby. Saying "I came to play," he philosophically accepted the first postpone- Gets 12-Year Sentence for Escape From Prison in Home-Made Tank MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) KVS.

District Court Judge has handed a 12-year federal prison sentence to one of two men who escaped from the Raiford, State Prison last year in a homemade tank. The sentence was on a Memphis bank robbery charge. Judge Bailey Brown sentenced Wallace Washington McDonald, 43, of Shreveport, after McDonald changed an earlier plea to guilty. The judge also gave McDonald a 10- year concurrent term on a charge of using a firearm in commission of a federal felony. McDonald and Red Eugene Gyger, 26, of Bloomington, were charged in the November robbery of the Laurel: wood Branch of First National Bank of Memphis.

The amount taken was $21,000. The holdup came four days after the men used a homemade tank, powered by a forklift truck, to crash out of the Raiford institution amid a barrage of gunfire. McDonald was arrested Dec. 6, 1971, in Baton Rouga, and Gyger was apprehended 15 days later at an Indianapolis, apartment. Gyger was charged with the Memphis bank robbery and interstate transportation of a stolen car.

Asst. U.S. Atty. Larry Parrish said Thursday Gyger remains in jail in Memphis, unable to post $50,000 bond. Gyger has maintained his innocence in the bank robbery, Parrish said.

ment when Fischer didn't show. Later he demanded an apology or he wouldn't play. At one news conference, one of Fischer's lawyers said he'd come to say he had nothing to say. Yefim Geller, Spassky's second, fielded questions with: "Kak Gavarit po An- gliski," or as you say in English, "No comment." Then there's the "Eavesdropper," a man approaching middle age with a shock of graying hair combed in careful disarray onto his forehead. He takes voluminous notes, for a magazine piece, he says.

On scraps of paper he records conversations he's overheard. He carries the scraps in a red plastic shopping bag as he moves soundlessly about the hotel lobbies. One final quote, from Gudmundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic Chess Federation, who was under pressure from Fischer to give up a share of the gate receipts: "I have worked for more than a year to get this match to Iceland. I would do many things. But I will not bite into a sour apple." The chief source of concern is the provision rated most important by the Americans.

It would oblige Swiss banks and authorities to cooperate with the U.S. government and open now-secret bank records when there are "reasonable grounds" to assume that organized crime is involved. At present, Swiss law allows bank secrecy to be breached only after a criminal complaint is filed in Switzerland. American sources said that it appeared resistance to the treaty hardened in the wake of the Clifford Irving- Howard Hughes biography fraud, in which Irving's wife took $650,000 that McGraw-Hill Publishing Co. paid for delivery to Hughes and deposited it to accounts she opened in Swiss banks under aliases.

These sources said they thought the Swiss were incensed by the efforts of American officials to get them to grant Mrs. Irving immunity in exchange for her cooperation with the American investigation. Rum. Misc Sale, 8:30 a.tn.- dark, Sat. Sun.
