Rome To Junk Transit Fares In Rush Hour ROME (AP) The city government has decided to abolish bus and streetcar fares during the morning rush hour as the first step of a plan to reduce Rome's massive traffic congestion. Traffic Commissioner Luigi Pallottini said he would present further proposals to ban cars from many streets in historic central Rome and to restrict parking there to residents of the downtown area. By abolishing the 50-lire eight cent fare on buses and streetcars from 6 a.m.

to 9:30 a.m. starting April 15, the city hopes to induce. Romans to leave their cars at home and take public transportation. The system had a test run with its effectiveness receiving mixed reviews between Dec. 30 and Jan.

7. More people rode the buses during the two weeks than in any comparable period. But critics said the passengers were mainly shoppers and joyriders while most Romans continued to drive to work. June Chess Match in Belgrade Called Off BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) The Belgrade organizers of the Spassky-Fischer world chess match announced Friday that they are dropping plans to organize the match in the scheduled period in this city. The contest between world champion Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union and American challenger Bobby Fischer was.

set to start June 22. The second half of the 24-game match was to be played in Reykjavik, Iceland, under a compromise reached in Amsterdam by the International Chess Federation and the two players. The Belgrade decision was expected after the organizers received no pledge from the federation that it would honor the Amsterdam agreement. Belgrade chess officials set a March 31 deadline for a reply. On Thursday Fischer dismissed E.

B. Edmondson, head of the U.S. Chess Federation, as his financial negotiator for the match and Edmondson said Lamore: History's Greatest Events: Trials, Battles Dr. George E. Lamore, told the Good Friday tion at First Presbyterian church he believes the greatest events in history were great battles and great trials.

Of these, he said, trials may even be greater and "there was never a greater or stranger trial than that of Jesus Christ." Lamore, chairman of the humanities division and the religion and philosophy department at Iowa Wesleyan college, delivered the sermon, "Witness for the at Friday's final Holy Week service. The services were sponsored by Churches United, the Catholic Laymen's club and the YMCA. The trial of Jesus Christ will not be over until each of us "has rendered a verdict," Lamore said. He said that rates as the grea-, test trial because history put His judges on trial and He had no defense. The events leading up to the trial and through the Crucifixion of Christ show the ferocity of man and the goodness of God, Lamore said.

Ferocity existed because two judges found Christ innocent, Lamore said, and the crowds screamed "crucify The goodness of God was shown while Christ was on the Cross and He made his plea, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." Fischer planned, to his own bargaining. Rejection Reported A Belgrade newspaper reported that Fischer had rejected a settlement Edmondson reached in Amsterdam for the players' share of the match. The agreement reportedly would have given the winner 72 percent of the $138,000 purse, with the rest going to the loser. The Belgrade Reykjavik organizers of the match earlier turned down Fischer's requests for a change in financial conditions of the Amsterdam pact. He had asked that all money left over after the cost of the match was covered should be split betwen him and Spassky.

The organizers said they bore a financial risk and should have the right to profit. In informing the world federation of their decision not to organize the match i in June, the Belgrade group said in a telegram: "No Guarantee" Grandmaster Fischer had refused play the match and in Belgrade also denying Edmonson the right to represent him, it is our appraisal that the agreement offers no guarantee to the organizers that the match will actually take place in the period agreed upon." The Belgrade paper had also claimed Thursday that Edmondson told an editor Fischer may have changed his mind about meeting Spassky for the match. Edmondson denied the report. The telegram from the Belgrade organizers said that, because of the lack of a guarantee, "we are not in the position to bear any further risk about organizing the match."

Former Dita Aide Tells Hartke Request for Jet NEW YORK (AP). Susan, Lichtman, a former secretary to Dita Beard, says- the International Telephone and Telegraph Corp. regularly did favors for members of congress and that she herself handled a request from Sen. Hartke (D-Ind.) for one of the company's jet planes. Mrs.

Lichtman, 26, now a student at the University of Toronto, was interviewed Thursday in Washington by the New York Times. It gave this account of the interview: "The one instance that I specifically recall," Mrs. Lichtman said, "because I had to call back and say there just isn't a plane available right now, they a are all in use, was a request from Sen. Vance Hartke I believe in June of last year." Mrs. Lichtman, who left the corporation in July, refusal' said she relayed the to a member of the senator's staff.

She said she also remembered a request from a congressman to have two ITT camper vehicles meet him on his arrival at Le Havre, France, so he and his family could camp and tour around Europe. She said she could not remember who made that request. Mrs. Lichtman was quoted as saying she filed an affidavit that she recalled typing some portions of a. memorandum for Mrs.

Beard, an ITT lobbyist, on June 25, 1971, which was published by Columnist Jack Anderson.

Wall Dairy Business Provides Hope For Navajos DENVER (UPI) Carl Todacheene pointed with obvious pride to the bright orange milk container with 'a feather clipped on its side and said it represented a key to the future of Navajo Indian children. "We are trying to show our children that they can test the fruits of capitalism, that there is opportunity, that truly America is open to those who exploit potential," Todacheene said. The milk container decorated with feathers was produced by MOD (Minority Owned Developments) Milk a company whooly owned by the Navajos that hit the big-time of marketing when Denver grocers placed it on their shelves in December. Todacheene is principal stockholder in MOD and his presence reflects the importance given the project by the 200,000 Navajos living on their reservation the size of West Virginia that sprawls across the continental divide in New Mexico, Arizona and Utah. Todacheene, a member of the reservation-governing Navajo tribal council, said he envisions the time when a small industry such as MOD Dairies will lead to other economic benefits "trucking, dairy herds, feed and grain and other opportunities for farmers."

Concerning the memorandum, Mrs. Lichtman said: "To my knowledge there, was nothing illegal about the contribution." She said she remembers typing a passage which indicated former Attorney General Mitchell played a part in placing the convention in San Diego. Says Test Saliva for Drug Use STRASBOURG, France (AP) A Swiss dentist has suggested it might be easier to detect dabblers in drugs before they become addicts by testing their saliva rather than their blood and urine.

Dr. Roland Petzold of Basel proposed more research on such tests before 100 narcotics experts meeting here under the auspices of the Council of Europe and the World Health or Petzold Organization. said blood and urine tests are expensive and difficult to set up on a large scale. Saliva tests could be performed during regular school dental examinations, he said. The dentist said he based his proposal on a study at the versity of Indiana by Dr.

R. F. Turk. that indicated a wide range of drugs could be distinguished in examinations of saliva. Petzold recommended that the Council of Europe help obtain the funds for research in specialized laboratories to determine the feasibility of such saliva tests.

Dr. David E. Raskin, an observer from the U. S. Institute of Mental Health, said the saliVa tests "sounded interesting and worth looking into.

But there may be professional and ethical objections to them, and there is the question of how long the traces of narcotics last in the saliva." Charge Patient Shot at Dentist; 'Nerve Was Hit' LOS ANGELES (AP) A 28- year-old man who was about to have a tooth pulled is accused of drawing a gun and firing four shots at his dentist. The man says the dentist hit a nerve. A court-appointed lawyer says Tommie Watts, 28, acted under the influence of pain and novocaine. Dr. Reb Scott told the court Thursday that the incident o- curred Dec.

1 when Watts went to his office to have a painfully inflamed tooth extracted. Scott said he injected novocaine and waited for it to take effect. After 15 minutes, the tooth. was still sensitive, so he administered another dose of novocaine, the dentist said. When he probed the tooth again, he said, Watts began to curse him and Scott told him leave the office and go find another dentist.

Instead, Scott testified at a preliminary hearing, Watts drew a pistol and fired four times at the fleeing dentist. Police arrested Watts a few minutes later: Watts pled Baby's Best Gift 742. NOW ILAY ME. TO DOWN SLEEP. 3 I PRAY THEE, LORD, MY SOULTO KEEP.
