By HOWARD CLARK Associated Press Writer ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) Tensions have grown among flood victims crowded together In Improvised facilities in the Elmira area, stale rescue officials reported Wednesday to Gov.

Nelson Rockefeller. Some 3,000 victims have been staying in the 1 mass housing facilities and their nerves are getting frayed, said William Hennessy, an official of the state Transportation Department involved in the disaster- recovery efforts. Hennessy said local officials fear for the safety of the victims when the National Guard pulls out next week. Rockefeller suggested that the sheriff appoint several deputies. Hennessy and others also cited the problems of coordination and communication between local, county, state and federal officials.

In a pointed remark, Trans- portation Commissioner T.W, Parker, who lias herti directing rescue efforts at Rockefeller's behest, said that only "seven professionals" In disaster work were left in slate government after the Civil Defense Department was abolished last year. After the briefing, Rockefeller said he would consider recommendations to establish 1 a disaster unit, perhaps within the state Transportation Department. "Perhaps we went too far the other way," he said of the abolishment of the Civil Defense Department. "We should come back to an intelligently planned level." federal officials are working to bring in mobile homes to house the victims, hut the efforts are being delayed by such problems as the selection of sites. Parker reported this situation In the stricken areas: --In Elmira, 100 to 200 homes have been lost; 5,000 have been South Vietnam troops hold part of Quang Tri by MICHAEL PUTZEL Associated Press Writer SAIGON (AP) South Vietnamese forces held the edge of Quang Tri city Wednesday and beat off enemy attacks on their eastern flank.

In the air war over North Vietnam, the U.S. Command announced the heaviest raids in weeks against three major depots within four miles of the center of Hanoi, the North Vietnamese capital. Reliable sources said Lt. Gen. Ngo Quang Truong, commander of the counteroffensive into Quang Tri Province, believes he can recapture South Vietnam's northernmost city without a bloody battle.

He is In no hurry to dash into the city and engage in unnecessary street fighting and destruction, the sources reported. Government paratroopers penetrated the city limits Tues- day, then took up defensive positions on the southeastern edge, awaiting an order to press on after their week-long, 10-mile drive up Highway 1. Sources said the enemy's strength inside Quang Tri is not known, but the defenders are believed to be chiefly militia. The North Vietnamese main divisions are believed to be dispersed generally to the west of Quang Tri, which fell to the enemy May 1. The shelling of Hue continued for the fourth day.

A military hospital in the Hue Citadel was i a morning. Spokesmen said 11 patients were wounded. In the latest raids announced by the U.S. Command, Air Force Phantoms blasted a supply depot and vehicle repair facility three miles southeast of the center of Hanoi and a military vehicle depot four miles south of the city center Tues- Top GOP officials convention delegates ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) The Republican State Committee voted Wednesday to send all top elected state officials--including Gov.

Nelson A. the party's national convention next month, but as nonvoting honorary delegates. The idea, Rockefeller said at a news conference before he attended a luncheon with state committee members, was to open the national convention to "working people in terms of the party structure, plus representation of youth, minority groups, and, of course, the very large percentage of women." Traditionally, some spots on the delegation have been reserved for what the governor called "worthy political figures and worthy contributors." But this year all these spots were lumped into the "honorary" category. At the June 20 primary, Republicans elected two delegates from each of the 39 congressional districts. At Wednesday's meeting, the national committee selected the remaining 10 delegates--five of them women--to round out the 88- member delegation.

State GOP Chairman Charles T. Lanigan, re-elected to head the state party organization, was named to the national convention delegation, as were two vice chairmen, Eunice Whittlesey of Scotia and Joan Schmutz of Westbury. Rochester Mayor Stephen May also was named an at-large delegate. Among the other at-large a was 18-year-old Maryann Wowak of Jamesport. The committee chose 88 honorary delegates.

Lanigan said they will be on hand at the Miami Beach convention to give their advice and counsel to the novices on the delegation, but they will not have a vote on the convention floor. A A A Now thru Tues. Matinee Daily--2 PM (Except Sat. 8. Sun.) Sat.

Albert Minchin of the Elmira Police Department, reached later at his office, said of the' reports of violence, "Nothing out of thu ordinary Is going on In Elmlra. We have had a few assaults and some looting. The situation Is pretty much normal "You know, you have to take theso reports of looting with a grain of salt. Insurance doesn't cover flood damage, but It does cover theft." At the briefing, Hennessy said stabbings and rapes had occurred in the refugee facilities. Later, he flatly denied to a reporter having said it and, to a second newsman, said, "No, I don't know of any stabb- ings and rapes If it came out that way, I'm sorry." He told the second reporter he was trying to convey the tone of life in the refugee centers.

During his trip to flood-devastated Elmira June 24, Rockefel- ler was asked by thtf president of Elmlra College to provide National Guard troops to patrol the dormitories of the school, where more than 1,500 evacuated residents were being housed. The college official told the governor he feared violence because of the anxious and often angry mood of the refugees. He explained that many were upset over being refused permission to return to their damaged homes. Rockefeller told the officials that he would not be in favor of posting troops Inside the buildings for fear that those housed there would misinterpret the presence of the armed Guardsmen.

He told Boris Spassky and the Soviet people Wednesday he was sorry if he insulted them by disrupting the world chess championship. But the word from Moscow was tough, and Thursday's scheduled start of the matches remained uncertain. The Soviet Chess Federation demanded that the American challenger forfeit the first game of the 24- game match because he didn't show up for its scheduled start Sunday. Fischer's holdout, however, has brought the winnings--and even the losings--to the highest amount in any world championship chess match.

The winner will get $231,250 and the loser $168,750. A few thousand dollars and prestige went to previous world champions. Spassky, the defending champion from Russia, had complained that Fischer's conduct had "insulted me personally and the country I represent." The American, in a satement prepared by his lawyers and read by Max Euwe, the president of the International Chess Federation, said he respected Spassky as a man and admired him as a chess player. The apology was the latest move in a complicated preliminary between the Americans and the Russians before they even got to the Italian marble chess board on the stage at Reykjavik's Sports Palace. Fischer's holdout for money postponed the scheduled start of the match Sunday.

Spassky's countermove, a protest and a demand for an apology by Fischer, moved the starting date of the series to Thursday.
