There have been secondary explosions on some of the barges, indicating they were carrying ammunition, but the sources said little is known about the type of supplies being moved. The Chinese ships have not been attacked and will not be, the sources reported, since U.S. officials said when the ports were mined that there would be no other type of attack on non-Vietnamese ships.

Overcast skies reduced the number of U.S. strikes against North Vietnam Tuesday, but navy fighter-bombers got through the overcast to attack two storage depots 27 and 30 miles northwest of Haiphong, the U.S. command said. SAIGON (AP) North Vietnam i trying to circumvent the mining of its harbors and rivers by unloading supplies from Chinese ships anchored offshore and bringing them inland aboard barges, U.S. military sources said today.

The sources said the effort has been under way for about 10 days and has had only limited success, primarily because U.S. Navy planes have destroyed many of the barges and receiving points on shore. "It is not a maximum effort," one source said. However, it is the first reported attempt by the North Vietnamese to bring in supplies in volume since the mining May 8. The unloading operations have been under way at two coastal islands, one off Haiphong and the other 260 miles to the south near Vinh, the sources said.

They said a total of four ships, all of Chinese registry and of trawler size or larger, have been identified. Anchoring in the shelter of the islands which are inside the 12-mile limit the ships unloaded into wooden barges and sampans varying in sue up to 40 feet, the sources said. The barges then made the run to coastal waterways that have not been mined by the United States. U.S. Navy planes have destroyed many of the barges, some at sea and some inside the inland waterways, the sources said.

Only the latter have been announced, although the navy has reported one barge sunk at sea by gunfire from a destroyer.

WASHINGTON (AP) President Richard Nixon announced Tuesday he will nominate Gen. Creighton Abrams, now the commander of United States forces in Vietnam, to be U.S. Army chief of staff. Abrams would replace Gen. William Westmoreland, 58, who is retiring July 3.

tt s. i Marshall told Circuit Court Judge Ralph Powers that the attempted murder charges, which are common law accusations carrying no fixed penalties, were not being pressed because they were in legal conflict with four charges of felony assault against Wallace and the three others. Also dropped were three identical charges of carrying a revolver in violation of Maryland's recently enacted handgun control law. Marshall retained a fourth version of this charge, eliminating the other three because, he said, they represented double jeopardy. UPPER MARLBORO, Md.

(AP) The state agreed today to drop seven of the 24 charges against Arthur Bremer in the attempted assassination of Alabama Gov. George Wallace. The announcement was made by state's attorney Arthur Marshall at the start of a hearing on a trial delay filed by Bremer's defence lawyer. Bremer also faces federal charges. Marshall said he would not prosecute charges of attempted murder in connection with the shooting of Wallace and three other persons at the rally in a shopping centre May 15.

The 24-game contest, opening July 2, has become one of the most fascinating confrontations in the centuries-old history of chess. The American challenger, Bobby Fischer, poses the biggest threat in many years to the long hold of Soviet players on the title. He has one of the most colorful and enigmatic players ever to reach grandmaster status. When he meets the formidable world champion, Boris a the 29 year-old Fischer will be riding the crest of an extraordinary string of one-sided victories pver top players in the elimination matches which made him the challenger. Spassky, 35, will be defending a Soviet hold on the title that has remained unbroken for 24 years and the dominant player for two decades before that was a Russian-horn chess genius who lived in France, Alexander Alekhine.

(To help him defend his title, Spassky today took a-long three advisers when he left Moscow for here. They are grandmasters Yefim Gel-ler and Nikolai Krogius and international master Ivo Nci). Fischer, who was once thought to have blighted his career by a series of temperamental withdrawals, has now emerged as a chess juggernaut. Experts here are divided on whether he will be able to demolish Spassky the way he did former world champion Tigran Petrosian, also of the Soviet Union, last autumn to gain the right to challenge for the title. Petrosian is famous for his patient, systematic play, but analysts agreed that Fischer shattered his game.

After their Buenos Aires series, one of Petrosian's ana-Ivstc, Soviet grandmaster Yuri Averback, said: "His spirit was completely broken after the sixth game of the match. "There is some strange magnetic influence in Bobby," Averbach said. "The same happened with his two previous opponents in his march for the world title, grandmasters Mark Taima-nov and Bent Larsen. "They were also spiritually India's Exotic Foods "KIBA" hf.fmhrril RESTAURANT Opa 7 days ully LictitM Until 11 30-2 UmiMr 111 107 Hoot M-iU 3000000000000000000000 STAG MITE! wrecked after the first couple of games." But many experts feel Fischer will be up against a different problem in Spassky, who took the world championship from Petrosian in 1969 and has earned broad respect for his attacking flair and deep determination. Iceland was fixed as the site of the championship only after Fisher, the International Chess Federation, and the Soviet federation were involved in a tortuous series of quarrels and negotiations over several possible sites and financial arrangements.

But there is an intrinsic logic to the site. With an American threatening to break the long-standing Soviet monopoly on the chess summit, this North Atlantic island is nearly a midway point be--tween the two countries. In addition, Icelanders have long been among the most devoted of chess players. From the middle ages, the game has been a favorite pastime in the long northern winters. This country of only 200,000 people has produced grandmasters such as Fridrik Olafsson and others well-known in the chess world.

The Icelandic chess union has offered $125,000 prize money. The championship will go to Fischer if he scores points. Spassky needs 12 points to retain his title. The Fantastic NEW ORLEANS, La. (AP) The U.S.

Conference of Mayors voted today to bark President Richard Nixon's policy in Vietnam, after an impassioned shouting appeal for it by Mayor Richard Daley of Chicago was greeted by cheering and footstomping. By an overwhelming majority, the mayors voted not to reaffirm the position taken for the first time last year of setting a specific date for withdrawal from Vietnam. Daley, red in the face, gesturing in the air, called on the Midnight sun law problem YELLOWKNIFE, N.W.T. (CP) The midnight sun emerged as a problem Tuesday during territorial council debate on a landlord and tenants bill. High Arctic member Wel-dy Phipps said the bill would give the landlord an unfair advantage by stipulating he has the right to enter rented premises during daylight hours.

"That gives a person up here in the Territories, where there are 24 hours of daylight, an awful lot of leeway."
