TUESDAY, JULY 11 at 8 PM THURSDAY, JULY 13, 8 P.M. WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 8 PM MONDAY, JULY 17 at 8 PM Dennis Hurd and Associates After 40 moves, Fischer could salvage a draw Home and Auto SALE. through ily.15.

REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPt) Caught in a hopelessly drawn game, temperamental American challenger Bobby Fischer took a chance to bring some life into his first world chess championship game. In that moment, soft spoken and mild mannered Boris Spassky proved why he is the world champion in the noblest of games. He immediately pounced on Fischer's bishop left trapped after capturing one of the Russian's, pawns and the game turned distinctly in Spassky's favor. Spassky asked for adjournment after 40 moves and 4M hours play. Russian Trap When the two resume the game today the first in their $250,000, 24 game world match nSpassky has a bishop and three pawns against Fischer's five pawns.

p.m. EDT) Most experts assembled here to agree that Spassky has a chance to win, while Fischer should be happy if he salvages a draw. But nobody has. come up with an explanation why the. American chess genius went straight into what appeared to be.

a Russian; trap. "He took a chance to, win a chance," said Danish grand master Jens Eneveoldsen. "We will never know until Fischer tells us if he does," said another international grandmaster. Fischer obviously was displeased with his game. After the adjournment he angrily demanded a meeting with the Icelandic organizers to complain against what.he described as the noisy audience.

More Quiet Than Normal Some 3,000 Icelanders and foreign chess enthusiasts had packed into the Lagardur.Hall for the opening thriller. But most kndwledgable observers said they felt the audience was more quiet than is normal at top chess gaames. The Icelanders rejected Fischer's demand and told him it is up to the official referee, Lothar Schmid of West Germany, to run the game from now on. Spassky's seconds, including international grand masters Efrim Geller and Nikolai Krogius, sent their world champion to sleep and then spent the. night and the morning hours analyzing the position to find a winning combination for Spassky.

Many experts feel they will suceed, even if Geller himself modestly suggested: "I believe we will have a draw." To auction 'adults only' books, materials WATERLOO (UPI) Black Hawk County officials announced Tuesday that more than $3,000 worth of adult only materials and books confiscated from 'the East Fourth Street Book Store here last month will be put up for public auction July 21. The auction will be held in the basement of the county courthouse here. Sheriff Robert Alrich closed down the store, and con fiscated the books after creditors complained they weren't being paid for materials sold to the adults orily store. Alrich said he was just following normal procedure by taking the books arid putting them in the courthouse storage area. And County Attorney David Dutton ruled that the books and other materials must be' put up for sale just like any other material confiscated by the county.

County said they aren't happy with' the auction, but add that it is definitely going' to be "a one day event."

Even long after nightfall they: go on, many of them with one or two great sails so that the wind can help the tireless donkey or man with his burden. Here are more children than you have ever seen in a day. They line every village: street, they peer from every courtyard entry way, they appear by the scores to look at the foreigners, they gather scrub oak leaves on the mountainsides to feed to the wild silk worms and they harrow the newly harvested fields to ready.it for the second crop, which will be corn or sweet potatoes. Land of Transformation Men are pulling wooden plows through the brown clay soil and cows are endlessly circling the wells to pump up the water; The houses are built of stone or adobe, with women visible at their hand looms and huge iron basins, each holding a meal for the great familiesa dozen or 14 members is not unusual. The American sees all this and feels transported into the pastalthough even in the American past it is doubtful that such a labor intensive life ever could have existed.

But' what does the Chinese see? Something entirely different a countryside, Linhsien County, transformed beyond recognition. This was an arid and barren countryside that traditionally had an exodus of population. There was drought nine years out of 10 and poor peasants traditionally sold their children and went out to beg to earn enough to escape starvation. Chinese eyes see Linhsien as a land of promise. American eyes can see that country is fruitful and the people healthy.

But Chinese eyes are needed lo record the full measure of the change. By HARRISON E. SALISBURY (0 1972 New York Times News Service LINHSIEN, China For an American, a drive deep into Linhsien County in the northwest corner of Honan Province is like driving straight into the early 19th or late 18th century. It is threshing time in Linhsien County now with a bumper crop of wheat and all around one sees the board threashing: floors of hard baked clay and hundreds of men and women and children winnowing the. wheat, tossing into the air with wooden shovels and letting the wind separate the grain from the chaff, just as Americans did before the days of the threshing And in the fields men and women bowed to the waist stride swiftly through the high golden grain, cutting it with their scythes and quickly binding the sheaves with a strand of fiber, just as Americans did before the days of the McCormick reaper.

Incredible Bustle Beside the threshing floors rise great cones and cottages of straw, neat and orderly, enough for regiments of little pigs to live in. Some of the conical mounds of straw are already being covered with a heavy layer of clay which will harden in the fierce Honan sunshine and create a mud silo that will preserve the straw for winter This is what you see as your car winds for 120 or 150 miles over the remote roads and tracks of Linhsien county. There is an incredible bustle on the roads, cart after cart drawn by men or donkeys, or men and donkeys, or horses or occasionally cows, pulling everything the countryside can need. There is grain going to storage depots, cotton to gins, coal io steel mills or countrv brick kilns, great truck tires from (ho Linhsien lire factory, iron pots for the villagers, coke for the steel STEEL DISH TYPHOON WHEEL, 14x6" 1 5x6" with racing vents, cap.
