The Province from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada • 31

puts foot down in wrangle over site. Checkmate for giants of chess opened at UBC's Graduate Centre Thursday afternoon, but objections to those facilities from both sides started a frantic search for another site Wednesday afternoon. Taimanov insisted that tradition be observed and spectators be allowed to attend the match. Fischer had demanded that spectators be exuded, claiming they interfere with his game. Various alternatives were explored Thursday, including facilities at International House and the Angus Building, both on the UBC campus, but none would satisfy both sides.

Dr. Max Euwe of Holland, a former world champion and now head of the international body, put an end to the dispute Thursday evening by ordering the match to be held in the Student Union Building. In effect it was a major concession to the Soviet grandmaster as spectators will now be allowed to attend the proceedings. However, Dr. Euwe has asked that the lighting be changed to meet Fischer's demand for indirect lighting in time to allow the match to start Sunday.

City loses $750,000 000 for Britannia renewal Senior government contributions to Vancouver's $6 million Britannia urban renewal scheme will be $750,000 less than the city expected. Municipal Affairs Minister Dan Campbell, meeting with city council Thursday, said he was asking Ottawa to split its remaining $1 million for B.C. projects equally between Vancouver and Victoria. Campbell told council this decision was made because Vancouver's preparation for relocation of displaced residents was inadequate. He said Victoria has done a more thorough job.

The now-defunct federal urban renewal program had designated $3.5 million for B.C. programs. Vancouver's Strathcona redevelopment scheme will use $2.5 million of the sum, matched by $2.5 million split equally between the provincial government and the city. Campbell said the remaining $1 million of Ottawa money had been earmarked for New Westminster until that city decided not to pursue an urban renewal project. Woman killed in house fire ROBERT FISCHER By PAUL RAUGUST Two days of bitter wrangling over the site for the world chess quarter final match between Robert Fischer of the United States and the Soviet Union's Mark Taimanov was halted Thursday night when the World Chess Federation ordered two grandmasters to use facilities at the University of B.C.'s Student Union Building.

(See earlier story on page 2 29.) The 10-round match, rescheduled to begin Sunday afternoon, was to have Ask--and get back licence Province Victoria Bureau VICTORIA Drivers who had their licences illegally lifted by the provincial government will have to ask before they get them back. Attorney-General Les Peterson said Thursday that licences automatically suspended for 30 days by the provincial motor-vehicles branch because of impaired driving convictions will be returned to motorists on request. Earlier this week B.C. Court of Appeal ruled that motor vehicle superintendent Ray Hadfield had exceeded his jurisdiction by imposing automatic 30-day suspensions in such cases. However, drivers whose licences have been suspended for more or less than 30 days are still out of luck.

Such suspensions were not ruled invalid, because Hadfield was deemed to have used his discretion in deciding on the length of the suspension. Hadfield will continue to hand out licence suspensions for impaired driving at his discretion, and Peterson has indicated that the government will bring in legislation at the next session to legalize an automatic 30-day suspension for drinking drivers. Peterson said that no other driving infractions carry an automatic suspension, although licences will still be suspended for drivers who amass a poor driving record in a short period of time. The pace of change in the world, and particularly B.C., is such that a writer should think thrice about assuming the status will be quo by the time his words reach print.

A victory counts one point and a draw Rounds are to be played Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, starting at 4 p.m, daily. Each player must make 40 moves in hours or else forfeit the round.

Dr. Euwe will preside at the traditional tossing of the coin to decide who plays white in the first round. He plans to return to Holland later today. Campbell advised the city to proceed with property acquisition in the development site as soon as Ottawa confirms the financial allocation. Indications from aldermen and senior staff members are that the suggestion will be put into effect.

Several aldermen accused Campbell of using the relocation of families as an excuse for Victoria funds he planned to give the capital city in the first instance. Campbell said the city's final report on the Britannia scheme, "leaves as many unanswered questions as it does answers." He referred to statements in the report that consultants would be hired to establish firm boundaries of the project and to consider possible development alternatives. But he was primarily displeased with a lack of documentation of how the 600 residents are to be relocated, he said. The minister said that these items should have been established before applying for urban renewal funds.

But Victoria, with no assurance of any funds, proceeded to get its homework done on a $2.5 million Inner Harbor scheme and Vancouver lagged, Campbell said.

An application from Victoria went to Ottawa early this month. Vitoria and Vancouver will each get $500,000 from Ottawa and $250,000 from the provincial government. For Vancouver, the money is half of what was expected. The $6 million Britannia Centre is to include a school, recreation amenities, parkland, civic and community services. The development area is bounded by Charles Street, McLean Drive, Venables Street and Commercial Drive.

All but $1.5 million of the cost has been provided in the current 1o g-ter capital budgets of the city, school board and parks board. The balance was expected to come from urban renewal sources. There was no indication that the scheme would be reduced in scope because of the cut in anticipated funds.

Forest Service said Thursday that the number of fires in the Prince George area had jumped to 116 since Wednesday, with 32 new fires in 24 hours. A spokesman said that while of the new fires rol, firefighters were still batwas small, and under conttling a major fire which had destroyed 12,000 acres of forest just east of Quesnel. Strong winds blew the fire south for eight miles between Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning, but half an inch of rain slowed the flames slightly. The spokesman said that winds had decreased slightly and there could be some chance of containing the fire south of the Cottonwood River. By Thursday noon, there were 767 men and 114 bulldozers fighting the fire.

The forest service described conditions on Thursday as a "considerable improvement" over Wednesday's outbreaks. In the Fort. St. John area, however, continuing dry weather and high winds produced what an official called "no prospect of improvement" in the battle against a number of fires which covered 10,000 acres of open rangeland. The worst of the fires was in the Reddy area, 15 miles west of Fort St.

Jim McPhee, in his farewell to the press types he shepherded through the Royal Tour, said he had been asked whether he'd be on duty for the Prince Edward Island visit in 1973 and said he answered, "After the B.C. trip we could do P.E.I.

Jim's reason for thinking so was that for B.C.,s visit no less than 700 reporters and cameramen and others had been issued badges.
