1 A winner every time with VIETNAM Horseracing Fans Before or III ll A $775,000 BID Mexicans seek chess AMSTERDAM (A Mexico made a bid today to host the world chess cham-pionship between Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union and challenger Bobby Fischer of the United States. A World Chess Federation (FIDE) spokesman said the Mexican Chess Federation had offered the highest purse yet $175,000 for the privilege of staging the 24-match contest in Mexico. But the Mexicans said they would need a firm guarantee that both contestants would show up for the 24-game contest Iceland already has told FIDE it is willing to stage the entire event in Reykjavik. Under an earlier agreement, half of the match was to be played in Reykjavik and the other half in Belgrade. But Belgrade backed out after Fischer demanded a share in the profits above the $138,000 The Yugoslav city of Sarajevo has said it is also willing to stage the contest.

The Soviet Chess Federation representing Spassky has told FIDE that it favors Iceland for the match. Fischer's views are unknown. Aiier me races MOST POPULAR PRICE FOR A SMORGASBORD Soviet citizens who discussed the tale of the nipples added the explanation that car owners have bought many of them to use as tire valve caps. Ordinary valve caps, like many other auto accessories, are often stolen for black-market sale because they are also in short supply. Other Russians conceded that the story of the missing nipples illustrated the difficulties the Soviet Union has in attempting for the first time to mass produce consumer goods with its complex, rigid bureaucracy.

In any case, if the production lines are not rolling by October, heads will be, especially at Rezinoproekt, Glavrezinprom, Rezinoplastmash, Glavaptekc oupravlenie, Glavshinprom and Soyuzrez-inooouvprom, as well as the chemical fibres section of the public control committee of the USSR and the ministry of oil processing and petrochemical industry. By MURRAY SEEGER MOSCOW (TPS) Unhap-)py Russian mothers, doting and a lot of children too young to speak for themselves are chafing over a current major Issue: There 'is a critical shortage of baby Jxrttle nipples and pacifiers in "the Soviet Union. Such a shortage would be a problem in any modern country but i is especially magni- fied In Russia. Most mothers work and de--pend on state nurseries or (grandmothers) to 'take care of their infants. Besides, Russians frown on sucking as unhygienic.

Six years ago, to meet the 'nation's demand for rubber I nipples and pacifiers, a new machine (IRU-138) was planned and designed by Rez. inoproekt, the Moscow rubber institute. i Under pressure to make tithe industry more efficient -and mechanized, the design-. ers planned to have just one machine produce the entire supply of nipples and pacifiers 40 million a year. The initial model did not work so the machine was moved to two other factories.

It still did not work. Sixteen representatives of four different agencies were appointed last August to an investigating committee by Glavrezinprom (rubber industry board) and Rezinoplastmash, (rubber and plastics board). Their report" confirmed that an industrial disaster bad occurred. IRU-138 could not properly mix the formula for the nipples, and the nipples stuck together and to the machine, even when humans svere employed to remove them. A correspondent for Socialist Industry, the trade newspaper which investigated the issue, concluded that the designers produced "nothing but baby talk." "That machine could not even produce pieces of rubber for pacifiers." A spokesman for the drug store administrative board (Glavaptekcoupravlenie) added: "One may cry SOS for pacifiers.

Their supply is insufficient." The issue reached the ears of the ministry of the oil processing and petrochemical industry which issued an edict this week that production of nipples and pacifiers must be increased to 23.8 million this year using the old equipment, compared with last year's output of 19.3 million. The original production goal of 40 million must be reached in 1973 and a new goal of 48 million achieved in 1974. Meanwhile, the ministry has ordered that IRU-138 be put into "perfected order" by Oct. 1 this year. In addition, Glavshinprom (tire industry board) and So-yuzrezinoouvprom (rubber footwear industry board) have been ordered to "inflict disciplinary penalties" on all those involved in failing to get IRU-138 operating on time.

One U.S. adviser in the area said: "The Vietnamese are running away like you've never seen before." North Vietnamese troops already control most of northern Binh Dinh province, in the central coastal lowlands. U.S. and South Vietnamese officials believe the North Vietnamese hope to grab the province and, by also heavily attacking Kontum in the western highlands, cut South Vietnam in half.

N. Finlayspn, president of Seaboard Advertising o. said his firm had no immediate plans to take down billboards containing banned tobacco ads. The billboards have been up in defiance of the ban almost since the date the legislation became effective, Sept. 1.

"We will just wait and see what develops," said Finlay-son. Lawyer Brown and John Steeves challenged the liquor and tobacco ad bans on behalf of Benson and Hedges (Canada) Imperial Tobacco Products Macdonald Tobacco Marketing Ltd. and Rothman's of Pall Mall Canada and three publishers, MacLean Hunter South-star Publishers Ltd. and Time Canada Ltd. The judge rejected their contention that the two prohibitions invaded the federal field of law and that the bans were attempting to interfere with the rights of trade and commerce under Section 91 (2) of the British North Amer-, ica Act.

On the allegation that the bans interfered with trade and commerce, the judge said: "If in regulating the sale of liquor within the province, advertising of such sale is prohibited and this affects the inter-provincial trade of the plaintiff publishers, that does -not mean the province Las exceeded its powers and invaded the field pf trade and commerce."

If floods come CALGARY (CP) One company and 11 individuals were convicted Friday of operating an illegal pyramid sales-type scheme. Fines totalled $75,000.

"The penalties must not only be a warning to other people but to other companies who may come in with the fly-by-night operation and take money out of this community," said Provincial Judge Gary Cioni. i Dare To Be Great of Canada Ltd. was fined $20,000 and the individuals, employees of the Don Mills, firm were each fined $5,000. The judge acquitted Dare to" Be Great of Canada (1971) Ltd. described as the parent firm, because he said he had no evidence it was operating in Calgary.

In his judgment, a month after the five-day trial ended, Judge Cioni said: "I am not concerned with the morality of the scheme but only with its legality these participants benefitted not only from the sales they made but also from the sales of other people they enlisted in the scheme. Rampant commercial schemes of this type pose a danger to the financial health of the community." Visit Government Approved $50 Hcr now ovoflobl imon Fraser FROM JAPAN LOW-LOW COST!

Hundreds of boats have been promised by several tow boat companies and commercial fishermen.
