On their chests were drawn blue circles, representing the sun; on their backs, partial circles representing the moon. On either side of the noses were drawn chamelions, the adaptable little lizard representing protection against the elements. Bending over a white buffalo skull, an old medicine man spoke in Cheyenne to the fasters.

STURGIS (S.D.t (APi Time crept back through the smoke of a thousand camp-fires yesterday as four Cheyenne Indians kept a vigil on Bear Butte, their sacred hill. The men are praying and fasting for four days to help the American people through the war in Vietnam. Bear Butte near Sturgis is the Cheyenne's holy mountain. It was here their prophet, Sweet Medicine, received four sacred arrows of peace and war and a religious charge. Those fasting were Charles White Dirt, 61; Albert Tall Bull, 5fl.

and Alex Brady, 65, all of the Tongue River Agency in Montana, and James Medicine Elk, 60. of Oklahoma. Medicine Elk is keeper of the sacred arrows and holds the highest position in the tribe. Accompanied by their families and tribal members, including three medicine men, the quartet climbed the butte yesterday and spread buffalo robes upon beds of sage, the will walk to camp and relate their dreams and vision to the medicine men. The dreams will be interpreted, and a forecast made on Vietnam.

As keeper of the arrows, Medicine Elk will have to agree with the interpretation before it will be accepted. Henry Tall Bull, spokesman for the Cheyenne, said the tribe's beliefs were not superficial. "We realize the seriousness of the war," he said. "And this is our way of helping." Finally, the medicine man put aside the skull and his voice became still. He fired a pipe, stone with a wood stem, and pointed it toward the four directions and toward the sacred butte.

Then, placing the bowl on the ground in reverence to the earth, he held the stem as each of the fasters puffed the pipe. The pipe was passed around the circle four times. The fast ends when the sun's rays touch Bear Butte Sunday morning. The men ITS 1747 Tie WEATHER AMERICA FIRST Vs Comic Dictionary San Francisco. East Bay.

By last night, no one had appeared to claim the money, and police were working on the theory the bills were "hot" loot from a bank or store robbery, and perhaps had fallen out of a paper bag or through a hole in a money bag.

Shortly before noon, Mr. and Mrs. Edward J. Georgia of Los Altos Hills were parking their car in the garage when Mrs. Georgia cried: "Stop! Look at that money!" Mrs.

Georgia disembarked and scooped up the bills. Then she and her husband walked across the park to Pan American Airways, called police and proceeded to map a European trip the errand which had brought them up from the Peninsula. Officer John Mikulin took the money to police headquarters and turned it over to the property clerk.

The 23-year-old American grand master beat the Russian when Smyslov resigned without resuming play.

The match had been adjourned Thursday night after 43 moves. Fischer is competing by cable from New York, about 1.350 miles away, because the U. S.
