Richard Mallary, federal taxes may have to says be increased because of the lack of congressional fiscal restraint. Mallary told a Burlington civic organization Thursday he is concerned by the failure of Congress to reduce expenditures.

He called the action "'totally unsound" and the cause of an overstimulated inflated national economy. Mallary said that unless deficit spending is curbed, "there is going to be the grave necessity for increased federal taxes." On another topic, Mallary expressed doubts that the plan to reduce American military spending by $30 billion is realistic. Mallary said the proposal by Democratic presidential nominee George McGovern would have a massive dislocative effect on the American economy.

Briefly, Sleeman said that $550,000 had been put into the project by the Southwestern Vermont YMCA, that with the collapse of the YMCA $200,000 due the contractor, Wright was Morrissey of Burlington, and that the contractor had agreed to settle the debt for $100,000 if paid by Sept. 25. Tuesday night Bennington's six-man board of selectmen cast 4 votes to call for a bond issue vote on primary day, Sept. 12, to complete the building. The bond vote would be contingent on the success of the $100,000 private fund-raising effort by Sleeman's group.

Court to hear unwed Marine mother case BURLINGTON (UPI) A federal judge has ruled that the case of an unwed mother who seeks reinstatement to the U.S. Marine Corps will be heard in U.S.

District Court. Judge James S. Holden Thursday denied a government motion that sought to dismiss the action brought by Stephanie Crawford of Essex Junction, who was discharged from the Marine Corps in May because she was pregnant. She argues the discharge violated her constitutional rights and seeks a court order allowing her to re-enlist. Miss Crawford charges that regulations allowing male, but not female, Marines to remain in the Corps when they have dependents are discriminatory.

Sept. 25 deadline for the $100,000, and the date of the primary Sept. 12. Campbell said it was his understanding that his board would call for the vote, and if successful hold off on borrowing money while awaiting the results of the fund-raising campaign. If the $100,000 were raised, the town would borrow the estimated $200,000 needed to complete the building.

If Sleeman's the group failed to meet its goal, town wouldnot borrow the money, said Campbell. Much discussion among Rotary members involved technical of the plan for paying off the contractors encompassed in aspects a contract prepared by attorney Manfred Ehrich, but not yet signed by the contractor. Ehrich, a Rotarian, participated in the discussion. The questions disclosed a split club members as to among whether there existed either a legal or a moral obligation on the part of the community to pay off the contractor. Several lawyers present said they thought there was not any legal obligation.

Sleeman said in his view there was a moral obligation. Several Rotarians called for a master plan of campaign for finishing the project, enabling potential donors to be assured that if the necessary $100,000 to off the contractor was not pay raised and the project fell through, their contributions would be returned to them. The consensus was that contributions made from here on wouldbe so protected. Up to now, Wright Morrissey, which inherited the original unfulfilled donors' list from the YMCA, has been willing to release that list only if all but conditional pledges are paid to them, regardless of the outcorne of the forthcoming community fund-raising drive. Answeringa question, Sleeman said it was estimated that operating costs of the new facility, when completed, would be $40,000 a year, of which $10,000 would come from rentals and $30,000 would be supplied by the town.

Adams DRUG STORES Prescriptions MONUMENT PLAZA SHOPPING CENTER Chess group may bow to Fischer REYKJAVIK (UPI)- nizers of the $250,000 world championship chess match between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky said Friday they might give in to Fischer's demand and remove all television cameras from the contest hall if that is the only way to save the match.

But Gudmundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic Chess Federation, said his match committee had decided to reject a protest filed by Fischer against the award of the second game of the match to the Russian champion when the temper amental American failed to show up. "If it all boils down to cameras or no cameras, I guess we'll try to remove Thorarinsson said. The third game is set for but chess sources say it Sunday, may not come off. Father William Lombardy, Bennington Briefs A summer play group is to be started Monday by the Opportunity Council at the Shaftsbury Elementary School. All groups will meet mornings from 9 to 12.

Fischer's second, discounted rumors that the American chessmaster was flying home. "I haven't heard anything about that and I hope it's not true," Lombardy said. "Everything is still upin the air.

We have settled nothing so far." The American challenger refused to play in the second game Thursday unless all the cameras were removed. He said they distracted him. When Fischer did not show up within the allotted one hour to make his first move, Judge Lothar Schmid announced that Fischer had forfeited the game and that Spassky was leading the match 2-0. Fischer filed a protest against the decision and against the the presence of cameras in the seat hall. The match committee met for two hours Friday before announcing the protest had been rejected.

The committee said its decision had no bearing on the presence of the cameras. "The matchis still on and I will start the clock again at 5 p.m. (1 p.m.) Sunday," Schmid said. He Dr. Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), was returning to Iceland to take charge of the match- the richest and also most troublesome in the history of the garne.

The organizers, bound by a contract with Chester Fox had refused to remove all the cameras, but did take out one and relocated two others SO that Fischer could not see or hear them. Fischer's aides approached Spassky and his seconds Friday seeking a settlement of the impasse. Russian sources said Fischer's representatives asked Spassky to agree to cancel the forfeiture of the second game and replay it but Spassky refused. Fischer remained locked up in his hotel suite Friday. The Icelandic organizers fear that the match is already over, chess sources said, and they are now making contingency plans to save themselves from a total financial disaster.

Under the match rules, Fischer will not receive any share of the prize money if he fails to complete the match. But Spassky would presumably be able to claim his share if he is declared the winner. Maine paper mill agrees to stop dumping sludge WASHINGTON (UPI) Attorney General Richard G. Kleindienst announced Friday that a paper mill in Maine has agreed to reduce the amount of waste it discharges into a tributary of one of the nation's 10 most polluted rivers. A consent decree entered in U.S.

District Court in Portland, Maine, resolved a civil law suit filed by the Department of Justice against Marcal Paper Mills more than a year ago. The suit said the company's Mechanics' Falls plant discharged de-inking wastes, paper mill wastes, solid matter and other substances into the Little Androscoggin River on a daily and continuous basis. When the original suit was filed, U.S. Attorney Peter Mills described the Androscoggin River, into which the Little Androscoggin flows, as one of the 10 most polluted rivers in the United States. He said the move against Marcal was intended as a first step toward its cleanup.

The suit was filed on June 7, 1971, under the 1899 Refuse Act. In the consent judgment, Marcal agreed to reduce its daily discharge of 7,850 pounds of waste to 1,050 pounds daily through the installation of pollution control equipment. According to the agreement, Marcal must submit plans and specifications for the new treatment facilities to the U.S. Atin Portland and to the torney New England Regional Ad- Agnew dinner comment heals N.H. party wound a By JOHN MILNE CONCORD, N.H.

(UPI)-Vice praise of Walter Peterson President Spiro, T. Agnew's may have helped ease a sore that has been festering for months. Agnew came to New Hampshire Thursday and spoke to a fund faithful at dinner the of Manchester RepubliArmory. In his preliminary remarks, the vice president refused to comment on a four way race for the GOP Senate nomination but praised Peterson as a fellow member of the National Governors' Conference. "Please return him to office," Agnew said of Peterson.

The situation was unusual because conservative publisher Meldrim Thomson has been running against Peterson and Thursday, on the last day of EPA to offer air pollution info to public MONTPELIER (UPI) Federal Environmental officials Friday began steps to implement a regulation allowing the public to obtain figures on what can be discharged into the air. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) held a 1 hearing on a proposed federal regulation which would supercede state law and make emission data easily available. Richard H. Johnson, assistant regional counsel for the E-P-A Boston office, complimented the state for its air pollution control plan to comply with the 1971 Clean Air Act. He said a half-hour hearing inclued testimony by representatives of the Vermont Public Interest Research Group, a newly formed consumer lobby.

It supported the proposed rule. Others said the regulation is unnecessary and would subvert the work of the Vermont Air Control Agency.

Elimination of all sludge from its discharge materials is also part of the agreement, and Marcal will be required to hook up its sewers with the new local sewage treatment plant. the filing period, state Sen. James Koromilas of Dover also filed nominating papers for governor.

Koromilas said he wanted to give Republican voters "an alternative to two people whose credibility is at its lowest point." He said Peterson reversed himself on the tax question and Thomson bolted the party to run as an independent. Robert C. Hill, former U.S. Ambassador to Spain, had announced he would seek the governorship but dropped out late Thursday. "I am more convinced than ever before that Republican voters need a clearcut choice for governor in the September primary if they are going to keep New Hampshire Republican in November," he said.

Agnew's comment was in sharp contrast to President Nixon's treatment of Peterson in 1971 when the governor was not consulted on planning for a trip to Nashua had been snubbed by administration officials. Peterson had endorsed Nixon for comment re-election when and asked refused about the to I Vietnam War many times. After the trip, Executive Assistant Stewart Lamprey flew to Washington to change the minds of top officials. Lamprey, a former head of the New England Regional Commission, is said to be well thought of by former Attorney General John N. Mitchell and other campaign experts.

Peterson reportedly met with Mitchell and other campaign experts. Peterson reportedly met with Mitchell and the President in late January and was assured the White House would not interfere in his own campaigning. The governor was reportedly surprised by Agnew's plug. "Maybe it's because the vice president knew that Thomson bolted the party," one aide speculated.
