It was one of the bloodiest days in the prov- ince's three years of communal strife. Seamus Twomey, chief of the Irish Republican Army's Provisional wing, told newsmen his forces might consider renewing the cease-fire they ended Sunday after 13 days. But he said the British must guarantee there will be no army raids or arrests, no "harassment" of his men, and complete freedom for the Provisionals to move freely, although to Uow profile." There was no immediate reaction from the British. The celebration of the Protestant victory on July 12, 1690, at the Battle of the Boyne went off peacefully, with 32,000 troops, militia and police sandwiched between the religious factions to head off violence. But in advance of the marching, on its periphery and in its wake assassins and bombers were hard at work.

Two soldiers were killed and 11 wounded in firefights with IRA guerrillas. The troops, whose death list since 1969 rose to 91, claimed to have wounded or killed at least five of their assailants. 'J The first to die Wednesday was a Protestant 16-year-old, gunned down as he walked through a park in the town of Portadown. Then gunmen burst into the Belfast home of a Catholic wid-ow and killed her teen-age son, said to have a mental age of five, as he slept in bed. "This was completely without reason," said a detective.

"Where the hell are we going?" There was more violence in Portadown after the marching. Two men a Catholic and a Protestant were shot dead in a bar.

Court denies job to suit pending WASHINGTON (AP) It's not that the Supreme Court won't hire female messengers-it's just that they would be "a little-awkward."

Ms. Clifford, who is to enter law school at Catholic University in the fall, said she aplied for one of the messenger jobs June 19 after a friend, already a messenger, told her there were two openings.

U.S. Marshal Frank M. Hepl-er told her she was the first woman to apply for the job, she said. It was Hepler, she said, who told her a female messenger would be "a liability." Bert Whittington, public Information officer for the court, said Ms. Clifford "was never told she couldnt have a job -We said it might be a little awkward." He said one messenger job has been filled since Ms.

Clifford was turned away "but he applied ahead of her." "We went out of our way to help her find another job," Whittington said.

"It's quite serious. He may not play at all," said a member of Fischer's entourage who asked not to be identified.

Fischer was scheduled to meet the world champion from the Soviet Union later today at 1 p.m. EDT for the second game of their 24-game match. The American challengef lost the first game Wednesday night. Fischer staged a 30-minute walkout shortly after the play began Wednesday, complaining that a movie camera 150 feet away was making him nervous. The camera was hardly visible in the dimness outside the lighted players' circle, and it could not be heard by Fischer, but aides said the knowledge of its presence unnerved him.

Chief referee Lothar Schmid of West Germany, whoinakes the decisions on all contested points in connection with the match, told Fischer during his walkout there was nothing he could do about the camera. Film and television rights for the match have been sold to an American promoter, and Fischer and SpasskyaTeto get a share of the proceeds, estimated at a minimum of $27,500 each. "It's up to Lothar Schmid whether Bobby plays," one of Fischer's advisers said today.
