Pair Who Met in Houston Jail Charged in Slayings of Two Women HOUSTON (AP) A couple of men who met while in jail here have been charged in the shotgun slayings of two young women in neighboring counties, authorities said today. They reported the pair have signed statements about the killings of Linda Sutherlin, 21, of Houston and Adele Crabtree, 16, a Cincinnati, Ohio, runaway, whose bodies were found early last November. Officers identified the mm in custody as Harry A. Lanham, 24, a Houston sailboat builder who formerly lived in Fremont, Ohio, and Anthony Knoppa, also 24, a twice-wounded veteran of the Vietnam War. Homicide detective Paul Nix related these details: Knoppa, arrested June 4 at Morgan City, and charged earlier in the Sutherlin case, implicated Lanham, who since has been accused also in the death of Delores Mary Foos, 62, last Aug.

Several nights later the two men were driving around in a garage wrecker truck when they found Miss Sutherlin in a stalled car. REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) American Bobby Fischer and Russian defending champion Boris Spassky finally squared off today for the world championship of richest and most publicized match of all time. Spassky had the first move. The match is 24 games and could last two months. Fischer needs 12Vfe points to win; Spassky 12, or a draw, to retain his title.

The playing table was shortened, green-and-white marble chessboard constructed for the fourth time, and the overhead lighting changed. But these were small details compared to the tangled negotiations and war of nerves that preceded the encounter, origi- Pentagon "aperS nally set to start July 2.

Six potential jurors already have been excused after declaring their opinions were so strong concerning the controversial case that they could not be impartial. They were excused Monday in the first day of the trial after the judge dismissed 18 other possible jurors for hardship reasons. U.S.

Dist. Court Judge William M. Byrne Jr. rejected defense objections to his decision to quiz jurors himself rather than let lawyers do it. Then he asked 12 potential jurors and six potential alternates their attitudes toward government and their family histories on possible government employment.

Daniel EUsberg, 41, and Anthony Russo, 35, both former Rand Corp. researchers who worked on government projects, are charged with espionage, conspiracy and theft in connection with the leak to news media of the top secret Pentagon Papers. The papers, printed about 13 months ago in the New York Times and other papers, revealed origins of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam war.

Some crop damage from hail was reported in Childress and Hall Counties.

He says that sorghum planting is almost complete, with this crop making good growth. Farming activities include hay harvest, guar planting, crop cultivation, and stubble plowing. Ranges are in good condition. Livestock condition is good, with some spraying for external parasites. Screwworm cases continue to be reported.

New bishops will be selected to replace four bishops scheduled to retire. Delegates also will assign 10 bishops to pal areas for four-year terms.

A battle for one of the positions shaped up Monday between the Rev. Dr. Roy D. Barton of San Antonio and the Rev. Dr.

Roberto Escamilla, now on special assignment in Nashville, Tenn. With a handful of supporters waving placards in a hotel lobby Monday, Barton accused the United Methodist Church of not taking the Mexican-American element seriously. Escamilla, noting the placard waving of supporters, said such activity the dignity of the office of bishop. Barton and Escamilla are not in opposition for a post since four are available but the competition was evident. The four retiring bishops arc Noah W.

Moore Jr. of Nebras ka, Paul V. Galloway of Ar kansas, W. Kenneth Pope oi Dallas-Fort Worth and G. Walton of Louisiana.

The new bishops will not necessarily be assigned to the areas now served by the retiring group. Another matter to be considered ia a restructuring of the South Central jurisdictional program. A committee commissioned in 1968 has recommended that the current 300-member program organization be reduced to a 46-member Jurisdictional Council on Ministeries, a 24-member Council on Finance and Administration, and task forces for specific functions. The committee recommendations were expected to prompt several proposed amendments. Too Late To Classify FOR SALE Garage Sale.
