In theh latest of these revolts, at the end of April, Micombero's government, came within a hair's breadth of being overthrown and with it the ascendancy of the ftOO-OOO-strong Tutsi elite. Diplomatic sources said it was only by the intervention by aire's president, Mobutu Sese Seko, who senl in troops at Burundi's request, that Micombero's regime was saved. An estimated 5000 Tutsi were massacred in less than two weeks by Hutu rebels under orders to "kill every man, every woman and every child of the Tutsi tribe so that history speaks of KAMPALA (Uganda) (tiPl) International relief organizations have stopped their aid to lhirundi, where two months of tribal warfare have left an estimated (lead. Diplomatic reports from the capital of Bujumbura said the organizations fear any relief aid to President Michel Micombero's government could be tantamount to condoning the continuing slaughter of Burundi's majority tribe, the Hutu, The Hutu outnumber Mi-cof hero's tall Tutsi tribesmen by about six to fine. The bitterness which' divides the squat Hutu from the Tutsi is the legacy of 400 years of feudal rule by the Tutsi aristocracy in which the Hutu were kept in a state of serfdom.

The three Hutu revolts them no more," Diplomats and missionaries, here and in neighboring Rwanda, estimate that in the reprisals that followed, nearly 100,000 Hutu were slautered by government troops, The sources said the prime targets of the reprl-. sals were "educated Hutu," at first bank clerks, profes-s I a I persons, hospital workers, taxi drivers, civil servants and secondary school children, and later any Hutu who could read and write. Latest reports say Hutu refugees, lured back to Brundi from Zaire and Tanzania by the Burundi government's claims that the situation is back to normal, are 'being killed when they reach home.

Keatley said Mao, a heavy smoker, was reported lo have received radiation treatment but said it was not known if there were plans for surgery. Kcatley said the report of Mao's illness originated "with sources who have unique access to such information" but not with Nationalist Chinese or other sources hostile to (he mainland government.

Faucet villi Spray Fischer in New Chess Dispute AMSTERDAM (AP) -The president of the World Chess Federation has threatened American champion Bobby Fischer with blacklisting following reports he is holding out for a cut of the gale receipts from his World Series with Boris Spassky of Russia. Dr.

Max Euwe. the world federation president and vet-e a Dutch grandmaster, said last night that if the 29 year old American fails to appear Sunday for the start of the world chess championship in Reykjavik, Iceland, he stands to lose his rights to play for the world tit le only this time but perhaps forever." I Moscow, the Soviet news agency Tass commentator Allan Starodub said there is a "disgusting spirit of gain that Fischer carries around with him." "It is characteristic that his spokesmen are lawyers and not chess players," Starodub asserted. "Wherever Fischer is, money ranks first, pushing aside all sporting motives." Fischer was seen last night at New York's Kennedy airport, but Icelandic Airlines said he did not board its flight to Reykjavik. When newsmen tried to question him. his bodyguards fended them off.

The next flight from New York to Iceland is tonight. But Fischer in the past has refused to fly on the Jewish Sabbath, between sundown Friday and sundown Saturday. Informed sources in Reykjavik said that Fischer informed the Icelandic Chess Federation that he wouldn't play unless he got 30 percent of the gate receipts. This would be in addition to his share of the $125,000 purse and 30 percent of the receipts from the sales of TV and film rights already agreed to. The icelanders said they have already spent about $200,000 on preparations, and if they meet Fischer's demand they can't brak even.
