The Catholics cited an increased number of such incidents with the approach of the July 12 anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne, a Protestant holiday. Catholic spokesmen also condemned Protestant plans to extend barricaded areas of Belfast and said it could only increase of Roman Catholics living in predominantly Protestant areas of the city. The Parliamentary Ulster Defense Association (UDA) said Wednesday it will establish another Protestant so-called "no go" barricaded sector in Belfast this weekend as another protest against British army toleration of similar "no go" areas established by Roman Catholics in Londonderry. The UDA has set up five such areas since Friday in Belfast, Londonderry and Portadown. A UDA spokesman said temporary barricades would go up in other areas of Belfast this weekend and in one unspecified area they would be permanent.

The statement said that after the weekend, the UDA would observe a 14-day "peace and grace" period to allow the July 12 parades by the Protestant Orange Order to proceed. Such celebrations, marking the victory of Protestant forces led by King William III in 1690 have in the past set off some of the worst. fighting between Roman Catholics and Protestants. The army said a patrol came under sniper fire early today in the Protestant Springmartin Estate. The soldiers did not return the fire but later reported more- gunfire which they said they presumed to Chess match may start on Sunday REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) -The.

president of the World Chess Federation (FIDE) said today the much-postponed match between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky may finally. get under way Sunday. Dr. Max Euwe, president of FIDE, said "The match will start on Sunday or at the latest Tuesday." He said he felt the major outstanding differences had been settled at a meeting between FIDE, the Icelandic organizers and Spassky's advisers early today. But Lothar Schmid, the FIDE referee for the match, wasn't so optimistic.

"This is if everything goes according to he said. "Things can still go wrong." Fischer, a 29-year-old chess genius from Brooklyn, is challenging Spassky, a Russian, for the world championship Spassky now holds. The match originally was to have started last Sunday but Fischer failed to show up in time, touching off a furor. Schmid said the draw of lots to decide who is to play white in the first of the 24 games in the $250,000 match will be held tonight (4 p.m. EDT).

NAACP plans strategy to defeat Nixon DETROIT (UPI) "Eight years ago," said the Rev. Jesse C. Jackson, blacks were "picking cotton in Louisiana. Next week we'll be picking a president in That, the Rev. Jackson told 2,300 cheering delegates to the 63rd annual NAACP convention Wednesday was the definition of revolution- -change within' a short time.

Before the Rev. Jackson, head of Operation PUSH (People United to Save Humanity) in Chicago, spoke, the court (continued from page one) total of 1541.5 delegate votes, a comfortable cushion above the 1,509 needed for nomination. The same court, on the same day, gave McGovern another boost when it upheld the credentials committee and the District Court in throwing out Daley and 59 uncommitted delegates from Illinois. McGovern claims 40 of the 59. In a day of swift legal developments, expedited by the opening of the convention, July 10, the Democratic.

National Committee urged Burger to convene the high tribunal in extraordinary session to hear an, appeal. Daley's supporters said they too were going to the Supreme Court. Burger has several choices: He can convene the court (four of the nine justices are not in Washington) to. hear the appeal; he can refuse to hear the appeal, or he can grant a stay of the order as the Supreme Court Justice assigned to the District of Columbia. If the Supreme Court should rule against McGovern and strip him of 153 of California's delegates and the judgment is sustained by the convention, the front-runner for the nomination would still lead on the first and second I ballots but his chances for going over the top would be severely damaged.

McGovern has threatened not to support the party's presidential candidate if that candidate won the. nomination in an undemocratic manner. That could leave the Democratic presidential nomination with badly divided and bitter party going into the fall campaign.

A truce between the Irish Republican Army (IRA) and Protestant forces has been in effect since June 26. A total of 403 persons have been killed in the three years of sectarian strife. resolutions committee of the oldest and largest civil. rights organization in the nation met behind closed doors to consider a plan to' help defeat President Nixon in the election. Throughout the weeklong convention, Nixon's strong antibusing stand has come under almost constant attack.

The only resolution passed by the delegates so far accused Nixon of leading an "assault upon the 14th Amendment's equal protection by suggesting a constitutional ban on busing. Roy Wilkins, executive director of the NAACP, denied however that there was a "formal organized movement against Nixon's election" at the convention. He noted that the NAACP has only once before abandoned its nonpartisan position- 1964 when it opposed election of Republican Barry Goldwater. Tells of death ofher son by heroin use By FRANK EIDGE MIAMI (UPI) -Three months before he died of an overdose of pure heroin, Michael Fletcher told his mother the name of the man he bought the narcotic from. She passed the name on to police.

The man was arrested, and released on bail. "My son was afraid he might be killed," Mrs. Fletcher said. He was killed, by heroin, "and two boys dumped his body in the Mt. Sinai Hospital parking lot by the bay," she testified Wednesday during the first day of three days of hearings by the House subcommittee on crime and drug abuse which is examining drug use in schools.

Teen-Agers Called Today, teen-agers were called to testify. The boys who dumped Michael's body pleaded guilty to first degree murder June 18 and were sentenced to two years in prison. A third boy who was to testify at the trial died of a drug overdose, Mrs. Fletcher said. The peddler met a violent death.

"I can only guess that organized crime had a great deal to do with these three deaths," she said. Hers was only one of the stories the subcommittee heard during the Another woman, Mrs. Prescola Benaby, wife of a postal worker, said her 18-year-old heroin addict son locked himself in a room and strangled his 5-year-old sister while the mother pounded helplessly on the door. In Mental Hospital "There he was strangling my little baby daughter and couldn't get in," Mrs. Benaby said.

"Where he is at now, tried and tried to get him there" before the strangling. The son is in a mental hospital. Both mothers, and a third whose son also died of a heroin overdose, said their sons started on the drug path by smoking marijuana, and progressed to heroin. However, Harold Gibber, one of five school teachers involved in anti-drug programs who testified before the committee, said he thought the legalization of marijuana would lead to a sharp reduction in its use by school children.
