ENVOY SLAIN IN COLOMBIA BOGOTA (UPD The first secretary of the Swedish embassy in Bogota, Kjell Richard Haeggloef, was shot to death by one of three men riding in his car Monday police said. A witness said Haeggloef, 30, was driving his Mercedes fienz when a man in the back seat lifted a pistol to the back of his neck and fired three times. The man in the passenger seat manoeuvred the car to the side of the street and the three fled. Police ruled out kidnapping as a motive, saying the men would not have tried to abduct Haeggloef during daylight in the centre of town.

REYKJAVIK, Iceland (TPS) "Mischa" is a fugitive from justice. Ife was waiting in the comfortable living room of Dr. Jakob Jonasson, a consulting psychiatrist who has openly Haunted Icelandic authorities by harboring him. Mischa cannot leave the house, except for furtive rides into the countryside. If he is seen in public, or if a neighbor complains about his presence, it could be curtains.

Mischa is a domesticated version of the fierce Icelandic shepherd dogs. Dr. Jonasson, his owner, is i leader of the movement to give docs a dog's life in the capital of Iceland. Now, they don't have even that much. Since 1924, dogs have been forbidden in Key-fcjavik.

But now, some people want to change all this. Dr. Jonasson is a founder of the Dog Friends' Association, established in 1969 and now claiming some 500 members in Reykjavik. The association, backed up to some extent by animal lovers' associations around the world, is campaigning to get the dog ban lifted. If nothing else works, it plans to take the case to the human rights court at Strassbourg, claiming that article 8 of the European Human Righs Convention is violated by the anti-dog legislation.

Article 8 stresses the sanctity of the individual's right to privacy and property, except in such cases where the commonweal dictates otherwise. "You can't say dog-keeping injures the general welfare," says Dr. Jonasson. a balding, smallish man with a trim moustache. The first steps taken by dog lovers have not been crowned with success.

Rather, the reverse has happened, and the illegal dogs in Reykjavik (estimates range from 300 to 2.000 in this city of 90,000 people) are now living in the shadow of death sentences. It happened because of the dog lovers. They asked the city council in 19 and then again two years later, to lift the ban. They were turned down both times, and the city council set the day of derision or as they thought extermination. One British paper ran big story with a picture of councilman Olafur Thors, a 34-year-old insurance executive and one of the 14 who voted to keep the ban on dogs.

"The man who ordered the executions" read the headline under his picture. Thors complains mildly: "It so happened 1 was the only member of the executive board in town at the time." But the board was also deluged with enraged letters from abroad. Sept. 1 came and went, and there was no mass slaughter. Police told dog owners they would not force them to give up their hounds, but any dog which bites someone or is found loose is liable to be picked up and exterminated.

"We are now doing it by attrition," says Thors. But the fight goes on. The Dog Friends' association argues that the city council based its rejection of dogs on reports which were "scientifically unsatisfactory, misleading and one-sided." These stressed health, sanitation, and societal problems. On the crucial issue of litter, the dog lovers jaid in their second petition: "It is no more dangerous than that of wildcats which abound in a deadline of Sept. 1.

1971, for all illegal dogs to disappear. Previously, the dogs illegally in the city had been tolerated so long as they didn't get into trouble. "I regard it as a death sentence for dogs," says Dr. Jonasson. "The taking of a beloved member of the family and sentencing him to death." Halldor Laxness, Iceland's Nobel prize-winning poet, compared the campaign against dog owners with the Nazi persecution of the Jews.

The World Federation for the Protection of Animals joined in with an appeal to the prime minister. The dog lovers had taken the initiative because the original reason for banning dogs appeared to be outdated. Back in the last century, Iceland was an impoverished island of shepherds. The Icelandic dogs ran almost wild and often contracted hydatids, a tapeworm cyst, from the sheep. This in turn they could pass on to men, and the disease could be fatal.

Today, the disease has virtually disappeared. But this did not overly impress the city council: it voted 14-1 asjainst the dog lovers last year. The result was near hysteria, not only in Iceland but throughout the g-1 i world. Especially in Britain, which sent teams of reporters to Reykjavik in readiness for Hijack 'joke' costs $200 DENVER (AP) A Canadian arrested at Stapleton International Airport Friday night after allegedly making a false statement about hijack-ing an airplane was released Monday after settling i $200 suit filed by the U.S. attorney's office.

U.S. Attorney James Treece said Jack Day, 49, of Edmonton, was boarding a Western Airlines plane for Calgary when he motioned to a fellow passenger and told a stewardess, "He's not the hijacker, 1 am." Criminal charges against Day were dropped when he agreed to face a civU complaint, Treece said. Power failure cripples Brooklyn WED JULY 19 JULY 22 ZELLER'S ji JS i- RETAILERS TO THRIFTY CANADIANS rfV Mil wuwi iN NEW YORK (AP) Several residential sections of Brooklyn were crippled by a blackout Monday night be-fore service was restored late today by Consolidated Edison. It was described as the largest blackout here since the Northeast power failure in November, MM, A Con Ed spokesman said the number of customers affected hy tbe blackout rnicht go as high as 200,000 or 300,000. The decision to cut the power was made, according to the spokesman, to avoid overloading the four feeder lines that were still functioning.

"If we didn't cut the power when we did, the entire system would have been destroyed," be said. Homes were suddenly plunged into darkness. Refrigerators and air conditioners went off. Television sets darkened. And many people spent the night outside in the relative coolness of porches.

Hospitals and police stations with emergency generators were largely unaffected. Consolidated Edison shut off electricity to the Bay Ridge, Sunset Park and Gowanus sections at 9:45 p.m. Monday after six of 10 feeder cables had stopped functioning. The outage cut off electricity to fire stations and other public facilities. Subway service was unaffected, although some stations were unlighted and some signals were being operated by hand.

Traffic signals were not operating. Police reported several instances of residents directing traffic with flashlights. At the Veteran's Administration Hospital, a fire battalion chief, James Higgins, and his aide, fireman Robert Re-node, climbed 14 floors to help a critically ill patient immobilized in an electrically-operating resuscitating bed. The hospital staff said the firefighters saved the patient's life by operating the bed manually for three hours until emergency generators were hooked up.

Spassky unexpectedly replied with a variation of the agressive Sicilian defence, which aims for unbalanced pawn formations. In his two games as black against Fischer prior to this series, Spassky played variations of the more tranquil Ruy Lopez opening. Play was swift today.

Spassky made his first rifiht moves in less than two minutes. Fischer, behind 2-1 in the 24-game match, was also prepared, for he played his first seven moves in less than three minutes. For his eighth move, however, Fischer took 10 minutes; the intellectual battle was on in earnest.
