A Bergen County, Jersey THE RECORD, MONDAY, JULY 3, 19 ih4 deiy- Moey tji fr4n. T5B Hiver $, KiKkenuck, H.

The Russians protested that the step as illegal, and Euw agreed with them.

But he appealed to them to take a sporting attitude, particularly for the sake of the host country, and they did. An Icelandic friend of Fischer, Freystrinn Thorber-bergsson, flew to New York yesterday to try to persuade the American grandmaster to return with him. He said he was acting as a friend and said only, "I know where to find him." He refused to answer other questions. Fischer, who has kept the Icelandic organizers nervously rushing to Keflavik international airport to meet every flight from New York for a week, simply did not show up yesterday. Officially there was no explanation.

He has not been in touch with the Icelandic Chess Federation or FIDE since he sent a cable through the U.S. Chess Federation some time back saying he would show up for the match under protest. Four times since then, Fischer has canceled bookings on flights to Iceland. Icelanders in plea The Icelandic federation, which stands to lose much money if the match does not come off, pleaded for Fischer yesterday and convinced Euwe to postpone the start of the match 48 hours to give Fischer a last chance. "But I am not very hopeful," said Euwe, the last non-Russian to hold the world title from 1935 to 1937.

He is Dutch. The decision came after several rounds of closed negotiations involving Spassky, Euwe, the Icelandic organizers, and Americans representing Fischer, but not authorized by him to negotiate. Spassky appeared undisturbed by the crisis surround AP Photo SETS DEADLINE Dr. Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation, announces that American Bobby Fischer must appear by tomorrow or forfeit the match. uiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiuitiiiiiiiiiimiiiN When November comes, did to us financially.

We want to serve the public," he said. How does the public react to this? "The service on the 165 bus (to the Port Authority Terminal) is horrible," said Mrs. Robert E. Lee, 208 Anderson Hackensack. "I've been riding TNJ buses for five years, and the service keeps getting worse.

They don't have enough buses to New York, and the ones they have are filthy. "On a hot day, you can roast to death," she said. A young, well-dressed businessman had mixed views on the subject. "Going this way (into New York) it isn't that bad, but out of the Port Authority at night it's terrible! The lines are a mile long. I take a different bus." Not coming back What is TNJ doing about the flurry of customer reaction? Last week, the firm took out newspaper ads announcing that new bus schedules were available.

Other than that, the company has been pretty quiet. All a company spokesman would say last week was, "The customers aren't coming back the way we'd like them to." A number of drivers remain unhappy even with the new wage settlement. "Sure I'll tell you how it's been," driver Ed Kaufman of Passaic told the reporter on the 82 bus. "The ridership has definitely gone down, but I think that they will eventually come back." Kaufman, who has worked for TNJ for almost three years, was laid off when the strike ended. When he was called back to work recently, his route was switched from Paterson to Hackensack.

He doesn't like the change. A TNJ spokesman, asked how many drivers were still laid off and how many have been called back, refused to answer. Austin Freely of Rutherford, a local union official who also drives an 82 bus, said he thinks ridership may pick up on the New York commuter lines. He has his doubts about local riders returning. "We need new equipment.

So far, TNJ has done all the bad things, like cut service," he added. A middle-aged driver, who wouldn't give his name, also wasn't happy with the new settlement. "Oh, yeah. I've never had it better in my life!" he said sarcastically. "Now, I get to work two jobs.

I sell real estate on the side. Need a house?" I From Page A-l bus line. The strike broke his TNJ habit. One muggy morning last week, standing at the bus stop near Sears in Hackensack, he spoke with the self-satisfaction of a man who has given up alcohol. 'Wouldn't do it' I wouldn't takeaTXJbus any more," he said emphatically.

"I just wouldn't do it. I ait an extra 10 i every morning now just to take a different bus." Broken habits, loss of confidencethese are some of the problems that TXJ has been facing since the strike ended. According to TNJ President John Gilhooley, the number of riders has dropped 35 per cent since the strike. Revenues are off more than 27 per cent compared to the same period last year, he said. Are TNJ buses any worse than other buses? To a reporter who rode four morning rush-hour buses recently, it didn't seem so.

The buses all arrived on time and were reasonably clean. The drivers were helpful three of the four very friendly and three of the buses were comfortably aif-conditioned. The fourth air conditioner wasn't powerful enough. Still, TNJ customers are emphatic that their service is the worst, their problems the most unendurable. They flash commuter tickets like bravery medals.

It is a point of honor among them to insist that their evening lines at the Port Authority are the longest, their buses 1 the most crowded. If the picture they paint is accurate, the cutback in service since the strike can only make things worse. For example: The IK bus from Westwood to Manhattan used to make 99 trips daily. It now makes 92. The 82 from Hackensack to the George Washington Bridge made 55 daily pre-strike trips.

It now makes 53. Plea for understanding The 102 from Hackensack to Newark was cut from 84 to 52 trips daily, with the majority of cuts coming during non- rush-hour periods. The 72 bus from Dumont to Little Ferry now makes 10 daily, as compared to pre-strike trips. "Please don't be too hard on us," pleaded a company rep-, representative who supplied the cutback information. 1 "You know what the strike Hackensack, 10 officials, Little Ferry cut back on convention spending last year, but its subsidies to officials still placed it near the top of the list.

Vouchers presented by Little Ferry officials didn't include their wives' expenses. Many insist they paid more than the amount allowed them by the bcrough, the difference coming out of their own pocket. Hill said expenses in 1970, his first year in office, followed the pattern set by the prior administration of Mayor Frederick Heinige. In 1968, the 13-member Hei I From Page A-1 behind that year, with 35 delegates spending $4,155. While Paramus's councilmen got $124 each, Little Ferry's governing body withdrew $300 for each councilman.

Of the municipalities checked by The Record, Moonachie, with a population of 2,937, was second. Its 14 delegates spent $150 each for a total of $2,100. In 1970, other towns spent the following for the 4-day convention: Saddle Brook, nine delegates, Ridge-field, 10 delegates, McGovern backers file suit ing his first defense of the title he won in 1968 from fellow countryman Tigran Petrosian. He as calm and relaxed in yesterday's negotiations, and his seconds said he was in fine spirits. The biggest prize The total prize money of $125,000 more than 10 times bigger than any before in the history of chess will be split with five-eighths to the winner and the rest to the loser.

On top of this, the two players are guaranteed 30 per cent of net incomes on televisions and film rights. But Fischer wants more. He has asked the Icelandic organizers for a 30 per cent share of the gate receipts something which in the words of Icelandic Chess Federation president Gudmundur Thorarinsson would spell economic disaster for the tiny federation in a nation of only 200,000 inhabitants. we pay In 1971, 450 municipalities and a variety of industries and businesses sent 7,796 delegates, wives, and exhibitors to the Steel Pier City. "Unfortunately, not everyone takes advantage of everything that's there," she said.

Records provided "If they (the prosecutor's office and Grand Jury) do anything about us, they'll have to do the same to every municipality in New Jersey which sends people to the league convention," said Borough Clerk John Bacik, after reluctantly handing over the vouchers to a reporter. At first, Bacik said Borough Attorney Robert DeCotiis had advised him not to show anyone copies of vouchers under scrutiny by the prosecutor's office. "And they have everything," Bacik said, shrugging. But later, he said that he had called DeCotiis and had received permission to release the vouchers. Cadets, middies can skip chapel, court rules WASHINGTON (UPI) -The U.S.

Court of Appeals has ruled that compulsory chapel attendance at the Military, Naval, and Air Force Academies i 1 a the constitutional freedom of religion. Chief Judge David L. Baze-lon and Judge Harold Leven-. thai, in writing the majority opinion, noted that the First Amendment guarantees Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. The 2-1 decision Friday reversed a 1970 ruling in the U.S.

District Court. The appellate court ruled on an appeal filed on behalf of all midshipmen at the Naval Academy at Annapolis, and cadets at the Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., and the Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, Colo. Regulations at the academies require attendance at Protestant, Catholic, or Jewish services. The majority opinion said the Defense Department and the heads of the academies have not shown that chapel attendance requirements are the best or the only means to familiarize officers with religion and its effects on soldiers.

Fri. Sat. 'til 2 A.M. REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) Bobby Fischer's time runs out at 8 a.m. EDT tomorrow.

Fischer, the 29-yearld Brooklyn chess genius, must turn up in Reykjavik by then or lose the right to challenge Soviet titleholder Boris Spas-sky for the world championship, a match that has generated wider interest than any chess game in history. Fischer, apparently bargaining for more money, was hiding out in New York while the great debate of will he show up or won't he? raged. Plea sways Russians The 24-game series was to have started yesterday. But when Fischer didn't show the president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), Dr. Max Euwe, announced he was postponing the deadline.

If Fischer does not appear for the drawing of lots scheduled for that time, he will be disqualified and lose his right to nige convention team spent $2,742, and in 1969, 18 officials spent $3,300, both well below 1970 expenditures. i 1 l's administration also paid for hospitality rooms in 1970, as did Heinige's in 1968. These rooms 't for sleeping or dressing, but rather for entertaining friends of the borough. In an informal rotation, each year different towns take turns paying for the party rooms. Three vouchers for rooms at the Terrace and Seaside motels came to $232.30.

Hill said he cut costs last year because there just wasn't enough money in the budget. He also said that after the tials Committee voted the Daley delegation out Friday. Hart had ruled in Daley's favor, saying the party's new rules could not supersede Illinois state law, but the U.S. Court of Appeals overruled Hart. The Credentials Committee, still meeting in Washington, refused convention seats to Mississippi's regular Democrats late Saturday.

It voted unanimously to seat the 25-member Loyalist delegation, which also was seated in 1968. Race was not a major factor in the challenge this year as it was four years ago. There are 1 14 blacks in the Loyalist group and nine in the regular delegation. Compromise offered The main charge was that the regular party failed to adopt the party's reform rules in picking delegates. Gov.

William L. Waller of Mississippi, acting for the regulars, sought a compromise, offering the loyalists 40 per cent of the seats, but the Loyalists insisted on 50 per cent. Other challenges settled over the weekend included: Michigan The committee ruled that supporters of Gov.

A spokesman for the Demo-c a i National Committee said last week that he had never heard of the plan, and could find no one in his office who had heard of it. However, Charles Kinsolv-ing marketing vice president of the bureau, said his aides had been in direct contact with Democratic presidential hopefuls. Kinsolving said he had spoken to an aide to Sen.

McGovern by the statement appeared to back still further away from his hint last week that he might bolt the party if the California delegates he lost were used to deprive him of the nomination. In an effort to beef up his strength in advance of Miami Beach, McGovern said he will seek a meeting with AFL-CIO President George Meany this week.

Meany is officially uncommitted in the race for the nomination, although is considered a supporter of Sen. Edmund S. Muskie. "I'm going to see him if President Meany will see me," McGovern said. "I welcome and need his help." The senator also said he will ask Lawrence F.

O'Brien to remain as head of the Democratic National Committee if McGovern is nominated. And he said he hasn't ruled out having Set. Edward M. Kennedy as a running mate, but feels Kennedy will not be a candidate. Similar suit The suit filed before Judge Hart by the McGovern forces is similar to one filed earlier by Mayor Richard J.

"I feel cheated that I wont be going this year." She is a casualty of Hill's economy moves. "The convention can be one big party," Hill said, "or you can learn a world of information. I'd compare it to a small world's fair.

I went to learn and learned, though I wouldn't say I worked all the time. "I haven't done anything illegal intentionally. Spending the borough's money for entertainment is as fair as if we'd have to pay for it out of our own pockets." The chief a i of the state Division on Local Finance, Anthony Angelinj, refused to comment on the legality of the Little Ferry expenditures and the fact that they weren't approved by the council prior to submission of vouchers. He did note that the liquor bill didn't sound "too kosher." "If I were on the governing body, I would have first authorized the expenditures," he said. "Just voting on vouchers after the fact isn't a good practice." Expenditures for some other Bergen County towns which sent delegations to Atlantic City in 1971 were: Lodi, for 13 delegates; Ridge-field, $1,373.09 for 11 officials; Saddle Brook, $759.20 for six representatives; Hackensack, $2,242.42 for 18 people; Bogota, $700 for seven, and May-wood, $672 for five.

West New York officials prosecutor confiscated the borough's records, he was advised by the borough attorney to cut back on liquor and hospitality costs. So in 1971 there were no vouchers for separate refreshments or rooms. Hill didn't even go to Atlantic City. But 11 officials and employes did. The maximum allotment per man was cut to $250, and the total spent dropped almost $2,000 to $2,318.

A comparison of vouchers and bills showed seven officials spent between $3.50 and $53 out of their own pockets. Those who go to conventions insist there is plenty to learn.

The city and the province of the same name were captured a month after the Communist offensive began March 30 in South Vietnam and have been in North Vietnamese hands ever since. Vicoy said rte saw a South Vietnamese armored personnel carrier sink as it tried to cross the Truong Phuoc River to join the Quang Tri fighting, drowning about seven paratroopers. Vicoy said the vehicle, overloaded with paratroopers in full battle gear, plunged downward and seven of the men aboard never came up. Today's shelling of Hue, the old imperial capital 400 miles north of Saigon, prompted fears that the North Vietnamese would try to overrun the city while its defenses are stripped by the government drive to retake neighboring Quang Tri Province.

An undetermined number of 122mm rockets hit Hune today, but there was no immcediate report of casualties. Yesterday, a rocket and artillery barrage of 80 shells killed 12 persons and wounded 41. This was the first such attack on Hue since the start of the Communist offensive.

The complaint claims that Diaz on May 30 had told Harper in Eagle Pass, that he had two letters of credit, each for $625,000 which he was going to use to purchase the guns. Federal agents said that the charges also allege that there was also a conspiracy to sell around 3,000 rifles and 1,000 submachine guns, with 500 rounds of ammunition' for each gun, valued at approximately $625,000. This was in addition to the explosives mentioned in the charge. The complaint said: "Res-' sler told Carlos Diaz that he had no M16 rifles, but he had the C-4 as per their agreement."
