(AP Wirephoto) Today's Chess Stakes Not As High, Nor As Wild As In the Olden Days NEW YORK (AP) The insulted egos and white-knuckled tensions before the Fischer-Spassy chess match may seem to be a blazing battle, but pale beside the tales of bloodthirsty games in Medieval Iceland. Chess boards in the 12th and 13th centuries were often the center of treachery, revenge, intrigue and murder, according to sagas of the time. When a certain King Louis lost a chess game to Rpgnvald, he stood up in a fury, shoved his chessmen into a bag and smashed his opponent in the face with it, leaving him a Woody mess.

"Take that!" exclaimed the king. Rognvald rode oil in a panic. But his brother stayed to split the king's skull open. These stories are sagas from Willard Fiske's "Chess in Iceland and in Icelandic Literature," published in 1905. It is said that American chess champion Bobby Fischer has gotten the highest stakes in history of chess for his series beginning Tuesday in Reykjavik with Boris Spassky, the world champion Even though thousands of dollars of prize money are on the line, today's championship prize is chicken feed.

Rognvald played King Louis for his head. A woman was the prize in one knightly saga. A king put up his horse, falcon SUMMER CLEARANCE In Groups of todies' Dresses off Coats off All-Weather Coats ZU OH Coordinated Sportswear Zll off Nylon Sleepwear 20 off Pant Suits off Swim Suits to off Straw Bags Up to $6 $3.00 Summer Bags ZO off Jewelry Sale off Silts 5 to IS Jeans Famous Vosserette $101 Bras-Girdles I Groups of Mcnt' 1-2 Pants Suits 39" to 59" Group of Suits To $22.50 Trop.

Britain's Labor Party Wants Mandate ToTighten Screws on Free-Enterprise LONDON (AD Britain's Labor party wants the voters to give it a mandate to tighten Die screws on the free- enterprise system. "Cooperalion instead of competition" is the watchword.

The party lost power two years ago and hopes to regain it within a year or two. This week in 42,000 words it issued a tentative preview of its electoral manifesto, or platform. It served notice that a future Labor government means to nationalize or extend state participation in vast new sectors of industry and the national economy. Among likely targets for slate takeovers the document listed ports, pharmaceuticals, financial institutions, shipbuilding, parts of the aircraft induslry, minerals, development land, (he oil and gas resources of the North Sea, even automobile and other insurance concerns. Taking a 10-year look ahead at the nation's problems and prospects, the program said Britain under Labor rule could insure jobs for all with stale price-fixing and people getting priority over profits.

"We aim to bring about a society based on cooperation instead of competition," the policy a said. "Where production is for people's needs, not for private profit, where community care is available to all and where personal relationships are based on equality and international relationships of mutual respect." With the promise of a "fairer tax system," Labor's planners set forth a series of proposals designed to thwart tax dodgers and to reverse "massive tax handouts for the wealthy" attributed to Prime Minister Edward Heath's government. These proposals included: --A wealth tax starting at a low rate for those possessing more than $120,000 at today's values and rising to higher rates for "those i vast fortunes." --A redistribution of wealth in the country generally. "The richest 1 per cent of the population own one-third of the nation's wealth while 5 per cent own about half and 10 per cent over three- quarters," the document observed, -A tax on "gratuitous transfers of wealth," meaning lax-avoidance gifts and other schemes. "The rates of tax would be such that large private fortunes could not be handed down from one generation to the next." Widows could count on reasonable exemptions The program was labeled for discussion only.

Heath's Conservatives have the right to decide any time before June 1975 to call a new national ballot.

Hugh Dillin, "That man's a right nice judge." Dillin had just apologized to Moffetl "on behalf of Ihe federal government" for an indictment charging him with four counts of selling firearms without a federal license. Moffett is 75 and (he father of H.

He told Dillin he liad bartered guns in the community of West Baden "for years" and when he began running a grocery store for his son last year, "I just carried the guns from the farm and sold 'em from the store." Willie said he thought only persons dealing in new guns were required to have a license. Federal firearms officers said they found four unlicensed guns in Ihe slorc last March 14 when they arrested Moffett. Hearing he was a father of 14, Dillin told Moffett, "I'm going to set aside your guilty plea and order this case dismissed. I apologize to behalf of government. You go on the federal home." Before going back to his farm, however, Moffetl decided to take in some of the proceedings.

"Ain't never been in a courtroom before and I figured I could learn something," he explained. SON'S SHOP WASSON'S KOKOMO MALL Sundoy's 12:30 P.M. to P.M. -Weekday's 10:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M.
