Graduate Studies Centre. Vancouver was accepted as a neutral site after Fischer and Taimanov couldn't agree to a split of games between the U.S. and Russia. Grandmaster Fischer, 27, led the interzonal qualifying tournament in Palma de Mal-lorca, Spain, last December with an 18H-4Vi score. Veteran Taimanov, who is a professional pianist as well as a grandmaster, was the last favorable in the Commonwealth group?" "Yes," replied Miller.

"You had eo reason to doubt it?" "None whatsoever," the witness replied. McGivern and his father, Hugh McGivern and Alex Sharpe are acting for Crux at his trial. McGivern's questions related to the feeling of Commonwealth executives at an annual meeting in Chilliwack in 1967 and Miller agreed with the lawyer's suggestion that at the time it was the opinion of all present they would push forward all arms of the Commonwealth group to make a greater financial return. Miller also agreed that Crux's responsibilities lessened after the meeting at which time he announced his intention to step down in May the following year. The case continues.

Financial status of the Commonwealth group of companies was quite favorable in 1967, an Assize Court jury heard Wednesday. The testimony came in cross-examination of Bernard M. Miller, former executive manager and secretary of Commonwealth Trust, at the trial of A. G. Duncan Crux.

Crux, former head of Commonwealth Trust, is charged with theft and false pretences in connection with transactions involving securities valued at $715,462. Miller, who spent the day testifying on the operations and chain of command of the trust company (prior to its takeover in 1968 by receiver-manager A. D. Peter Stanley), was asked by defence counsel Jack i "Was it also your opinion that the financial picture was quite CHRYSLER RECALLS CARS DETROIT (UPI) More than 65,000 Chrysler Corp. passenger cars and trucks will be recalled for inspection and possible replacement of defective parts, the company reported to the national highway traffic safety administration.

ANY BIRD THAT LAYS PAPIER-MACHE EGGS DOESN'T DESERVE FEATHERS ELKS, MOOSE LODGES LOSE LIQUOR FOR BIAS Foundation grants go up by $300,000 BOSTON (UPI) The Massachusetts Alcoholic Beverages Commission has revoked the liquor licenses of all 84 Elks and' Moose lodges in the state because they bar blacks from joining. "The open and notorious practice of restricting membership to whites only by these clubs who profess to practice patriotism and brotherly love is nothing less than a badge and incident of slavery which demeans and degrades black people and breeds distrust of our government," the commission said Wednesday. At issue are the national charters of the organizations which limit membership to "whites only." The licence cancellations were delayed until the courts decide whether the action is legal. Elks attorneys have said the commission lacks authority to revoke the liquor permits on such grounds. A similar fight is underway in Maine testing a new state law forbidding the issuance of state licenses to groups or organizations practicing discrimination not inherrent in the name of the group.

The Vancouver Foundation gave away close to $1.5 million to charitable purposes in 1970.

The foundation, the largest of its kind in Canada and one of the fastest growing in North America, has consistently broken its own records for gifts over the past several years. Assets grew by 10 per cent in 1970 to $22.65 million, with a 6.3 average gross return on investments, the foundation's annual meeting was told Wednesday. Major grants in 1970 included $58,000 to students for educational purposes, $35,000 for two creative playgrounds in Vancouver and $20,000 toward an educational program at Vancouver public aquarium.
