Gudmundur Thorarinsson, chairman of the Icelandic Chess Federation, said the restrictions were made because photographic and move-by-move coverage rights had been sold. He said journalists would be allowed to transmit move-by-move reports only three times during each game and that newsmen would be required to sign a pledge to abide by the 10,000 men in the July-August period. Ziegler disclosed at the same time that draftees no longer will be sent to the war zone unless they volunteer to go. About 4,000 Army draftees now in South M0N.

JULY 3rd 400. However, since last February and the onset of North Vietnam's big offensive, Nixon has ordered thousands of U.S. fighting men, warships and war-planes back into the Southeast Asia area. The concentration of U.S. air-power in Thailand has raised the number of American servicemen in that country from 32,000 to about 45,000 and reinforcements of the U.S.

7th Fleet in Vietnamese waters has boosted naval manpower there from 13,000 in January to about 42,000 now. In order to meet the immediate troop-reduction goal of by July 1, the Pentagon shifted seven squadrons of Air Force and Marine F4 Phantom fighter-bombers to Thailand in recent weeks. Two additional bases in Thailand had to be reopened to accommodate the planes. There, though free of the danger of ground attack, these air crewmen and ground personnel still are in the Southeast Asia air war. affected by the change in policy.

The new U.S. troop level men in Vietnam will be reached by Sept. 1 and Ziegler said another announcement on possible further pullouts will come before that date. Based on the pattern of the 10 previous withdrawal increments, Nixon can be expected to make this next announcement a few days before Sept. 1.

That likely will fall after Nixon's certain renomination by the Republican National Convention in Miami Beach in late August and ahead of the main presidential election campaign which traditionally opens about Labor Day. Ziegler would not reply directly when asked if the level would present the "residual force" the administration has pledged to keep in South Vietnam until North Vietnam frees all American war prisoners. The President's spokesman said Nixon will "keep the minimum needed to achieve our objectives." In the three years since the In Vernon VIROQUA, Wis. The Vernon County Board in special session Tuesday voted to transfer $15,000 from the general fund in order to qualify for $650,000 from the U.S. Soil Conservation Service for construction ol a flood control dam on the Bad Axe River in the Town of Jefferson.

The county had to commit the money before July 1 or would have lost its priority for federal funding. The vote for the transfer was 25 to 5, with Supervisors Earl Nelson, Loren Gronning, Bernard Bowman, Emil Mechovec and Charles Fowell voting against it. The money is to be used to build what is called No. 12 Bad Axe Watershed, or the Runge Hollow Dam. Supervisors also agreed to REAL ESTATE SCHOOL! BECOME A LICENSED REAL ESTATE BROKER OR SALESMAN!

MILWAUKEE, WIS. 53203 House Vote Blocks Capitol Expansion NEW YORK (AP) Bobby Fischer's flight reservation to Reykjavik, Iceland, has been canceled again. The American chess star is scheduled to play Russia's Boris Spassky there for the world championship in chess.

There are just a few more flights to Iceland before the chess match is scheduled to start next Sunday. Will Fischer show, up for the match? "He said he was going," grandmaster Larry Evans said Wednesday evening before boarding a plane for Iceland. Evans has known Fischer for years. However, Chester Fox, who has exclusive visual rights to the match, and his lawyer, Richard Stein, were not so definite. And Fischer couldn't be reached for' comment.

A reporter asked Fox and Stein after they met with Fischer here Wednesday evening whether the chess champ was definitely going to show up. "I think so," said Fox, before taking off for Reykjavik. "You said too much," Stein told Fox. Why did Fox say too much? Stein answered that "unless you have firm commitments" there should be no comments. Stein added that Fischer has walked out on matches before.

Fox has bought worldwide visual rights to the games from the Icelandic Chess Federation and plans to film the match. Fred Cramer, a friend of Fischer's and past president of the U.S. Chess Federation, said Sunday that Fischer objected to the type of lighting proposed for filming the match. On Sunday, Fischer canceled his flight to Iceland, without explanation. Cramer, who was to have flown with Fischer, went MARY E.

WASHINGTON (AP)-A controversial plan to expand the Capitol by moving its West wall 88 feet down Capitol Hill has been blocked by a surprise vote in the House.

Despite pleas from its leaders that Congress needs the six acres of space the $60 million project would provide, the House voted 197 to 181 Wednesday against going ahead with final plans. The vote made it likely that Congress now will give serious consideration to restoring the old sandstone West Front, which was built in 1817 after the British burned the original building. Since 1963 there have been warnings that the wall was in danger of collapse, and in 1966 a plan to rebuild the wall farther down the hill was first proposed. Considerable opposition came from persons who favored maintaining the original wall for reasons of history and because of its beauty.

(AP) A judge has cleared the-way for a July 12 start in the state trial of Arthur Bremer, who has pleaded insanity as a defense( against charges arising from an' attempt to assassinate Gov. George C. Wallace of Alabama. Judge Ralph Powers refused Wednesday to grant a defense motion to delay the trial In Prince Georges County Circuit Court on grounds that convening the proceedings would violate the due-process rights of the 21-year-old Milwaukee man.

The state trial on assault and gun-law violation charges Is to start five days before Bremer Is scheduled to begin trial in U.S. District Court in Baltimore on federal charges based on the wounding of Wallace and three other persons at a Laurel, shopping center May 15. Before Powers' ruling, Benjamin Lipsitz, the court-appointed lawyer for the former busboy and school janitor, entered pleas of not guilty by reason of Insanity to the state indictments. The pleadings were the first indication of the position that Lipsitz plans to take against the eyewitness testimony to be presented by as many as 46 persons subpoenaed by Arthur the trial. Powers ordered Bremer, who was not in the courtroom, to be taken to Clifton T.

Perkins State Hospital in Jessup for the routine mental examination by a mimimum of five psychiatrists. The defendant has been held under FBI guard and $400,000 state-federal bail at the Baltimore County jail. Lipsitz argued unsuccessfully against a state examination of Bremer on the grounds that the suspect, in effect, would be helping to prepare Marshall's prosecution. Powers said that appellate court decisions were against Lipsitz, but he added, "Notwithstanding the apprehensions Mr. Lipsitz has, his client will be fully protected." Lipsitz also argued that the state trial should be postponed because of unduly adverse publicity and because having the state proceeding close to the scheduled July 17 federal trial would prevent Bremer from arranging his defense adequately.

Powers told Lipsitz the jury could be instructed regarding publicity and said that since the state set its date first, the federal government should delay its trial. 6:00 P.M. 2-3-8-10-13-19-News 12C Holiday 6:15 12C-News 6:30 2- 8-1 1-Jeannie 3 Sportarama 10-MakeADeal 12C-LC Talks 13 Mayberry 19 Green Acres 7:00 2-3-8-My World 10- 13-Adv.
