The weapon Is an improved version of the "Walleye1' television bomb and has been In use for the past month, the Navy said. Capt Marland W.

Asked if the new assignment would be announced today, press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler said. "It has not been decided."

Security in the hall, tight all week, appeared redoubled as additional agents took up their places around the rostrum.

Vice President Spiro T.

"Those vandals who deface traffic signs not only cost the taxpayers over a quarter of a million dollars a year, they cause unneeded confusion and risk for motorists by covering over road information and warning signs." Kassab pointed out that anyone convicted of defacing a traffic sign is subject to a minimum fine of $25 and a maximum fine of $100, plus costs. He asked that anyone seeing a traffic sign being defaced to report the incident to the state or local police. as the IRA calls Deny, porters erupted in applause as he pledged an end to the Vietnam war, as he pledged before all else that "the doors of government will be opened, and that war will be closed." The Wallace supporters, centered in the delegations from Alabama, Texas, Florida and Michigan, sat silently through much of the speech. They filed out quietly as McGovern's supporters stood and cheered, clapped and marched following his speech. The ovation that followed, surpassing his greeting, went on for minutes as the other top Democrats again faced the cheers of the crowd.

Chants of "Let's go, George" filled the hall as the Democratic ticket, beaming and waving, stood before the crowd. Earlier in the evening, O'Brien, in what many saw as a farewell speech after more than two years of party leadership, looked ahead to victory at the polls in Novembet and said, if that happens, "we remember this place as the place where the Democratic party came back to life."

BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) Gun battles raged in the Roman Catholic districts of Belfast early today as the British army abandoned its "low profile" and launched a.

major offensive against guerrillas of the Irish Republican Army. Shooting erupted in all of Belfast's major Catholic strongholds alter three battalions of troops invaded the IRA "no go" district of An-dersonstown to quell gunmen who had poured intensive fire at an army command post for four days It was the first time the' army had entered one of the districts 'taken over by the IRA. In the past such areas have been off limits prevent a confrontation with the guerrillas holding sway there. Protestant militants have been demanding for months that the army go into the no go areas and clean out the IRA: The invasion of Ander-sonstown will probably intensify the Protestants' demands that the army now go into the barricaded areas of Londonderry that are the most famous symbols of Catholic defiance, the Bogside and Greggan districts, or "Free Fails To Show For Second Chess Baffle Fischer's Latest Move Nets Forfeiture them. Army headquarters said about 700 men.

A spokesman would not say whether house-to-house searches would be made for guerrilla nests and arms caches. Two British troops and three civilians were known killed in the fighting during the night, raising the death toll to at least 15 since Wednesday and to at least 431 in the three years of communal violence in Northern Ireland. The invasion of Andersons-town was ordered by Britain's administrator for Northern Ireland, William Whitelaw, Army headquarters said. It marked a reversal, at least temporarily, of policy of reducing military activity in an effort to wean away the grassroots Catholic support of the IRA.

Whitelaw told a Conservative party meeting in London on Thursday night that he would "soldier on" with his attempts at conciliation.

Gallagher continued, "it is difficult to understand how the board could have allowed the continuation of the kind of conditions the district now expects to remedy by maintaining its present tax. "By the witnesses' own accounts, school buildings in the district exhibit defects ranging from flooding and defective plumbing to fire hazards. And other anticipated expenses during the coming year expansion of programs and acquisition of textbookswould also seem to have been appropriate purposes for the surplus funds received" from the state, he said Although the House Education Committee doesn't have the resources to make detailed study of school finances in every district, it can look seriously into a particular district when a legislator so requests, Gallagher added. "REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP Bobby Fischer filed a protest Thursday night after the referee in the world chess championship ruled that he had forfeited the second game to Soviet tltleholder Boris Spassky by not showing up.

Fischer stayed in his hotel room Thursday and refused to play unless three cameras fuming the match for movie-and television sales were removed from the hall. Since the American challenger lost the first game on Wednesday, referee Lothar Schmid's forfeit ruling gave Spassky a 24 lead. Schmid said the third game of the 24-game match would be held on schedule Sunday, but the future of the match was very much in doubt. Schmid said it depends on whether Fischer continues his boycott. He added that the World Chess Federation FIDE could step in at any time and disqualify him.

But in the sports palace for half an hour before conceding defeat in the first match. Intense negotiations through the rest of the night and all day Thursday failed to coax him from his hotel room. "We did everything we could," said Richard Stein, Fox's lawyer. He even sent a letter to Fischer urging him to discuss the problem. He wrote: "As a folk hero of the Americans, you must permit millions of Americans to share this experience with you in their homes, for the benefit of chess and for the benefit of the rest of the world." Fischer didn't budge, and five minutes before the starting time a U.S.

Chess Federation official, Fred Cramer, telephoned that Fischer would not appear. Spassky bad arrived meanwhile and was seated behind the black figures before a crowd of about 1,000, or less than half the capacity of the sports palace. The white pieces, and with them the first move, were Fischer's as the loser of the first game. At 5 p.m., the scheduled starting, Schmid started the playing clock. When the hour time limit for the first move by Fischer passed, the referee announced: "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr.

Fischer did not appear in the playing hall. According to Rule No. 5, if a player is more than one hour late he loses the game by forfeit." Spassky was given a standing ovation as he left the hall. Jivo Nei, a Spassky ass is tant, called Fischer's refusal to appear "a grave insult not only to the Soviet people but to the whole world." "The world champion, cannot dance to Fischer's tune," Nei said. Spassky needs 12 points to retain his title, while Fischer needs 12V to wis it.

A player gets one point for a win and half a point for a draw. Dr. Max Euwe, president of the organization, said Schmid was still in charge of the match and must decide how to handle the American. A spokesman for promoter Chester Fox, who bought the movie and TV rights for the match from the Icelandic Chess' Federation, said the cameras had to stay because "the whole financial structure of the match depends on it." It was the prospect of movie and TV sales that allowed the Icelanders to offer a record $125,000 purse to the two players, and Fischer and Spassky are also to divide a share of the movie-TV money estimated at a minimum of $55,000. Fox said Fischer admitted he couldn't bear or see the three cameras, but "he said they bothered him because he knew they were there" Fischer had objected first to the cameras Wednesday night and left the ches board.
