It has headquarters on the third floor of a bank building at the corner of Washington Avenue and Lincoln Road, a block from Convention Hall. An interdenominational crew of 350 volunteers are taking part in the operation. "Our objective is to help maintain peace and stability, to provide a community atmos phere that will facilitate the democratic process and support all participants, delegates as well as dissenting groups, in the exercise of their first-amendment rights," the Rev.

During the conventions, he said observer teams of clergy and laymen, identifiable by RCLC insignia, will be stationed throughout the city, at campsites and in the convention hall, to keep tab on the situations, help prevent confrontations, scotch Catholic Conference and the Synagogue Council of America, the operation was sparked by concern over the violence surrounding the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago. RCLC has established communications with convention officials and city agencies as well as with leaders of the myriad groups outside the convention that will be on hand to push their causes, including women's coalitions, "gay" activists, Vietnam veterans, welfare groups, counter-culture youth, peace coalitions, Yippies and Zippies. Nearly a score of denominations, including the Episcopal Church, the United Presbyterian Church, the Lutheran Church in America, the Presbyterian Church U.S. (southern), Church of the BRETHREN, Christian Church (Disciples) and United Methodist Church, have provided executive personnel for the agency, including its national staff coordinator, the Rev.

It is said that American chess champion Bobby Fischer has gotten the highest stakes in history of chess for his series beginning Tuesday in Reykjavik with Boris Spassky, the world champion. Even though thousands of dollars of prize money are on the line, today's championship prize is chicken feed. Rognvald played King Louis for his head. A woman was the prize in one knightly saga.

He NEW YORK (AP) The insulted egos and white-knuckled tensions before the Fischer-Spassky chess match may seem to be a blazing battle, but pale beside the tales of blood-thirsty games in Medieval Iceland. Chess boards in the 12th and 13th centuries were often the center of treachery, revenge, intrigue and murder, according to sagas of the time. When a certain King Louis lost a chess game to Rognvald, he stood up in a fury, shoved his chessmen into a' bag and smashed his opponent in the face with it, leaving him a bloody $200 Stolen Burglars who entered the Ship's Wheel Tavern on French' Island Thursday night by breaking the window in the men's room, stole a cash box containing $200, according to a' La Crosse County Sheriff Department report.

Movements of IRA agents in Europe also are watched.

Their main sources of supply are arms dealers ready to trade with anyone anywhere providing the price is right. At one time, a consignment of Czechoslovak weapons was seized in Holland on its way to Dublin. The Prague government denied all knowledge of it.

and European sources, including Britain itself. To stop the flow of money and arms to the IRA the British have sought the help of such countries as the United States, Japan, Canada, the Irish republic and even, on one occasion, Czechoslovakia. Gun-running, by definition, is an underground operation. Consequently just about every government approached has stressed that its capacity to control this sort of traffic is limited, officials say.

Inside Britain itself indeed in downtown London areas where Irish communities live money is collected daily for the IRA. Under British law it cannot be stopped. More worrying to Britain, according to senior officials, is an inflow of U.S. weapons to Ulster by way of the Irish republic. During the past month or so Britain has been perturbed over a powerful new high-velocity rifle in IRA hands.

This is the Armalite or AR180, perhaps the deadliest light rifle. It is being made under license in Japan for the Armalite Corp. of Costa Mesa, Calif. Officially, just about the entire output is supposed to be shipped back to the United States, where the gas-operated rifle is sold as a sporting gun. Ten of these rifles have been captured from the IRA or found on the streets of Belfast and Londonderry.

WASHINGTON (AP) -Wheat exports for the season ended June 30 were more than Agriculture Department officials expected, despite dock strikes and competition from record world harvests last year. Preliminary tabulations by the Export Marketing Service in USDA show wheat shipments totaled 620 million bushels, down sharply from the level of 738 million In 1970-71. But the latest figure is nearly 8 per cent more than department experts predicted last May.

At that time, according to an official report, 1971-72 wheat exports were not expected to exceed 575 million bushels. The revised export estimate, however encouraging to farmers, does not mean wheat Is out of trouble. Carry-over supplies still are huge, more than 900 million bushels on July 1, and the new 1972 crop also is expected to be large. A new crop production report will be issued by the department July 12, based on field conditions as of July 1. It will include for the first time a complete estimate of all wheat production in 1972.

In June, the USDA estimated winter wheat output this year at about 1.9 billion bushels, 2 per cent more than In 1971. Based on acreage and average yield trends, the spring wheat crop could run about 374 million bushels, pointing to an all-wheat production of about 1.56 billion. The record output of all wheat was set last year, approximately 1.64 billion bushels.

Firemen got the flames out quickly and the fire was confined to only the one unit in the 24-apartment building.
