THE CALGARY HERALD Friday, July 14, 1972 Troops bring war McGovern's cry Fischer's protests still to break up 'match of threaten the century' Page From we will call America home nourished us in the beginning." to appear set a precedent in world championship history and left him trailing 0-2 In the 24-game seriei. FIGHTS CAMERAS The 29-year-old challenger boycotted the second game because of a wranglo over the positioning of television cameras around the stage. Thirty-five minutes after his clock was set in motion for him, the American business holding the television coverage rights agreed to removal of the cameras. Fischer, closeted in his hotel suite across the capital from the hall, then demanded the 35 minutes be restored to -him. When this demand was refused by the chief arbiter of severely beaten and then shot through tlio head.

"It was a brutal ghastly murder," a police spokesman said. "No other words could possibly describe it." Three battalions of troops went into the IRA "no-go" district of Andcrsonstown to quell gunmen who had pumped intensive fire at an army command post for four days. The invasion of the Suffolk area of Andcrsonstown was carried out on Whitclaw'a or-d army headquarters said. It marked a significant reversalat least temporarily of Whitelaw's policy of reducing military activity in an effort to wean grassroots Catholic support from the IRA. WILL RETALIATE Whitelaw told a Conservative party meeting in London Thursday night he would "soldier on" with conciliation, but added if gunmen were ferocious "we will retaliate with the same ferocity," That retaliation came at 11:15 p.m.

Thursday. REYKJAVIK (CP) An appeals committeo rejected today Bobby Fischer's protest against his loss of Thursday's second world championship chess game by forfeit. The four-man committee supported the decision of chief referee Lothar Schmld to award the game to Boris Spassky of Russia because Fischer failed to appear. Andrew Davis, Fischer's lawyer who arrived this morning from New York, was in the anti-room when assistant referee Godmunder Arnlaugs-son of Iceland announced the forfeit would be maintaiued. Asked If his client would play the next scheduled game on Sunday, Davis replied: "I can't comment on that," Fischer is demanding that the game he forfeited Thursday night, when he failed to turn up within an hour of the start, be replayed on Sunday when the 1 1 third came is scheduled Fischer's failure Only the crippled Governor George Wallace of Alabama was absent and his supporters on the convention floor appeared to be the only ones not to join in the endless ovations for McGovern's acceptance speech, a reminder of their unbending hostility to the nominee.

McGovern's surprise choice of Missouri Senator Eagleton as his vice-presidential running mate has done little to quiet the criticisms of those Democrats who fear disaster In the November election. Eagleton is a moderate liberal cut very much in the McGovern intellectual and philosophical At 42, he is also seven years younger, conies from tlio moderate sized city of St. Louis, is a Roman Catholic, and was a Muskie supporter. He says his relations with labor leaders of the AFL-CIO are good. These factors separate from the man who heads the ticket.

But they scarcely complement the McGovern qualities enough to strengthen the ticket very much in areas where the presidential nominee could be in trouble. This is what virtually every southern delegate and a good many in other states said on the convention floor. Eagleton 'flabergasted' Eagleton, who said he was "flabergasted" by the call he received from Mr. McGovern after to Washington Thursday, admits with disarming candor: "I realize I'm not exactly a household word. Ed who?" But he also reminds reporters that almost no one had ever heard of Spiro Agnew when Richard Nixon made him Jiis Republican running mate four years ago.

McGovern told the convention delegates that after he beats President Nixon in November he will end the Vietnam war, open the doors of government and put the country back to work. "Within 90 days of my inauguration as president, every American soldier and every American prisoner will be out of the jungle and out of their cells and back home in America where they belong." McGovern said that during four administrations, involving both Republican and Democratic parties, a terrible war had been charted behind closed doors. "I want those doors opened and I want that war closed," McGovern said. The nominee insisted that he would keep the country militarily strong enough to meet any danger. He didn't forget pledges to safeguard Israel and Western Europe, which he has been accused of being soft on.

"Let us protect ourselves abroad and perfect ourselves at home," he said. McGovern said his first domestic priority would be job creation. Whatever employment a reinvigorated private sector did not provide, the federal government would either stimulate or provide itself. 'Remarkable' organization McGovern said he had been the beneficiary of "the most remarkable political organization in American history. This is a nomination of the people, and I hereby dedicate this campaign to the people." The former American history professor suggested the country was entering a watershed period of change comparable to the political ferment released in the eras of Jefferson, Jackson and Roosevelt.

"We are not content with things as they are," he said. "We reject the view of those who say: 'America love it or leave We reply: 'Let us change it so we can love it the more." He ended in a poetic refrain of: "From secrecy and deception in high places, come home, America. "From a conflict in Indochina which maims our ideals as well as our soldiers, come home, America "Come home to the affirmation that we have. a dream. "Come home to the belief that we can move our country forward The one-time preacher concluded with a verse of "This land is your land" and a one-sentence prayer asking God's help "in meeting the challenge ahead." the match, West German grandmaster Lothar Schmid, temperamental New Yorker decided to stay away.

No tanks or heavy equipment was moved into the area. Foot soldiers advanced as best they could to cut down the area open to snipers and drive the terrorists out. The army suld the action was necessary to protect the lives of residents there after risk for days from steady sniper fire. During tlio battle between the army and the IRA, most residents were thought to be prone on the floors of their homes.

DEFENDS DECISION In London, William White-law, Britain's chief administrator for Northern Ireland, in the House of Commons his decision to meet the force of IRA terrorists with more force Thursday night and today. He accused the IRA of using rocket launchers and mounting "considerable military operations of a clearly offensive character" against me army, endangering civilian lives as well. "Rocket launchers have been used in the area by the terrorists for the first time," Whttelaw said. "These greatly multiply the risks of damage and casualties." "The army therefore, with my authority, responded by action to control the areas from which the attacks were being launched and to protect themselves and the civil population," Whitelaw added. Since the cease-fire was broken Sunday, the IRA also has been using new heavy mach-ineguns.

ACCUSE IRA The British press has charged the IRA used the brief cease-fire to regroup and collect new arms, Since the truce was broken Sunday there have been almost 1,000 shooting incidents in the province, where the death toll from three years of violence stands at 432. One particularly brutal death was reported today. Police disclosed that a young Catholic found dead Thursday had been tortured by his assassins. They said he had been burned on many parts of his body, stabbed several times, 1 RUGS -J I In his protest, handed over to Schmid, Fischer is- renew-lng his demand for removal of the cameras which he aays distract him.
