and his budget secretary, Charles Mcintosh, are in charge of putting the programs together, with the aid of each department In the executive branch. One possibility Shapp mentioned was a plan to help low-Income families to secure disaster loans from the federal Small Business Administration. The SBA can loan homeowners as much as $55,000 and businesses up to $500,000 for disaster repairs. But the SBA requires that there be a reasonable likelihood that the loans will be Shapp said his office had "many reports" that the agency's regulations prevented welfare recipients or others of limited incomes from getting the money they need to repair or rebuild their homes.

Shane Creamer and the governor's special counsel, Harold Kohn. are now deciding whether the state constitution would permit the state to back up the loans made by the SBA to the poor, according to the governor.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development agreed last week to a pilot project of perhaps 250 campers to lessen the housing shortage. Shapp said, adding that wasn't enough. A publicist for the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Frank Dest-derio.

said that of nearly 11,000 applications on file with the department for emergency housing, only 633 families had been placed so far. The situation is worst in the Wilkes-Barre area, where more than 7.000 applications have been made but only 99 families put in temporary living quarters. Desiderio said. Shapp felt HUD should relax regulations to permit "massive use" of campers throughout flooded areas. "Most of the people who've been washed out of their houses don't want to move into some other area," Shapp said.

"They want to stay right there, where they can work, clean up their houses, repair them and hopefully move back in. "A lot of homes have workable water systems, and what these homeowners would want is a camper that would sleep four or six people, just to put on the front lawn or driveway right by their homes."

Chess boards in the 12th and 13th centuries were often the center of treachery, revenge, intrigue and murder, -according to sagas of the time. Games were often interrupted because somebody was getting hacked to pieces. When a certain King Louis lost a chess game to Rog-nvald. 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 mess.

But today he said they were on the southeastern edge of the city, about a half mile from the Citadel Behind the 11-day counter-offensive, North Vietnamese gunners launched a series of shelling attacks from Hue southward. Viet said 27 shells were fired into the Hue Citadel, damaging 17 homes and wounding one civilian. On the western flanks of Hue, North Vietnamese gunners pumped about 350 artillery, mortar and recoilless rifle shells into South Vietnamese positions and launched two ground assaults.

But his brother stayed to split the king's skull open. These stories are sagas from Willard Fiske's "Chess in Iceland and in Icelandic Literature," published in 1905, It is said that American chess champion Bobby Fischer has gotten the highest stakes in the 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. A king put up his horse, falcon and sword for a maiden and engaged in a game, winner take all. The king lost.

He left the game on foot, unarmed and unloved. "Little consolation do you derive from the game of chess for now 1 own your costly objects!" said his competitor. Talk about concentration. Today, Fischer feels the glare of the elaborate chess table in Reykjavik may be too bright It may distract him Fischer could take a lesson from King Valdemar, in the year 1157. The king concentrated so hard on his chess game i that when Canute gave him a big kiss, he didn't even look up from the board.

It took a troop of enemy soldiers rushing into the room to get his attention. The king leaped up to fight. He fell with a wounded thigh. But his men covered him with their bodies for protection. They were chopped to bits, and the king escaped.

The game was never finished. Concentration could have been the dowiall of Eric Plov-penning. a wise ruler, it is said. He was lured to the chess table by his blackhearted brother in the summer of 1250. The brother abused Eric as he sat playing chess, and Eric was killed that very night.

In a statement issued in Washington, McGovern said, "By a divided court decision, it is now the responsibility of the' delegates to the national convention to protect the rule of law and the nation's time-honored sense of fair play.

Borough Manager Arthur B. Bailey informed the Gazette this morning that he and borough maintenance workers were installing a portable chlo-rinator in the No. 1 pumping station at the' south end of Liberty St. to treat raw sewage being pumped into the Con-emaugh River.

The VS. Army Corps of Engineers had requested that such emergency action be taken to protect downriver water supply systems. Mr. Bailey said Andrew Banas and Thomas Calabrese, sewage treatment plant operators, had worked to get equipment in partial operation to handle sewage from the northern and eastern section of Blairsville. The plant was shut down when impounded flood water from the Conemaugh Dam inundated and extensively damaged two pumping stations in the system.

Damage was estimated at (6040,000 to the No. 2 unit located between W. Market and W. Campbell streets. An auger at the sewage plant was also damaged by large pieces of stone and concrete pushed through the sewers by rain from tropical storm Agnes.

Defense attorneys H.

The speedy trial issue was raised in a letter the attorneys sent to U.S. District Judge Gerald Weber. "The court will consider the defendants' request to set a date for an early trial of the matter," Weber noted in setting a hearing for July 21 on defense motions aimed at uncovering government evidence against the two.

Both attorneys have argued against trying the defendants in Washington County Court, claiming pretrial publicity would make a fair trial impossible.

This lease is due to expire in 1997. Hong Kong island and the remainder of Kow-loon peninsula were ceded to the British in perpetuity.

China, however, regards treaties enabling British occupation of Hong Kong to be "unequal" and asserts that Hong Kong is "part of Cht-nese territory occupied by the British." The question will be settled "in an appropriate way when the time is ripe," Peking has said. The Hong Kong government statement about the Kung Sheung report said: "This is purely speculative. Mr. Boyle's talks in Peking were confidential. There is nothing to add to what he has already told the press." The government source, asked why the statement fell short of a denial, said this was because Royle's talks were confidential and the Hong Kong government cannot say what was or was not discussed in them.

He- said he could not imagine the Chinese committing themselves to such a position 25 years before the lease is due to end. HONG KONG (AP) An anti-Communist newspaper said today that China and Britain have agreed in principle to extend the tease on part of Hong Kong for 20 years, But the Hong Kong government said the report was "purely speculative," and a senior government official said privately that as far as he knew it was "nonsense." The story in Kung Sheung Yat Pao said an agreement in principle to extend the lease from 1997 to 2017 was reached after talks between Britain's undersecretary at the Foreign Office, Anthony Royle, and "Foreign Minster Chi Peng-fei. Vice Foreign Minister Chiao Kuan-bus and Communist China's highest leaders" during Royle's visit to China in early June. The newspaper attributed the report to "high-level source in the mainland" and said British Foreign Secretary Sir Alec Douglas-Home will talk with Chinese authorities on toe issue when be visits Peking later this year. The part of Hong Kong referred to covers the Kowloon peninsula north of Boundary Vietnamese whenever an advance is attempted.

For their part, the South Vietnamese paratroopers are walking their supporting artillery only SO yards ahead of friendly lines. This dangerous tactic requires a fine degree of coordination, but it has proved very successful. "The airborne has perfected the technique so well that prisoners now tell us they fear the artillery more than air strikes," said airborne adviser Capt. Gail Furrow, 32, of Ur-bana, Ohio. Supporting air strikes have also been close, so dose that one can bear the wail of falling bombs from a B52 before the impact.

Strikes by smaller tactical jets have knocked out tanks and trucks and started gasoline fires in enemy positions, but the paratroopers continue to take heavy fire. South Vietnamese casualties have been light, the enemy's heavy. But no one counts bodies on the front. Vietnamese The unit was accompanied by three Americans, an airborne adviser and two U.S. Marines acting as naval gunfire liaison radio operators.

The reconnaissance troops split into teams and stationed themselves in scattered observations posts. They reported very few North Vietnamese troops were actually in the city and some of them were driving around in captured M48 tanks left by the South Vietnamese. The amount of resistance encountered by airborne forces on the outskirts of Quang Tri indicates that this is where the North Vietnamese plan to make their final stand, officers said. Once the enemy's main bunker line is breached, the paratroopers expect easy going into the city's center. The North Vietnamese are so well dug in they have been able to endure day-long air strikes, by U.S.
