Released Poisoner Does It Again LONDON (AP) The British government today began a review of the handling of criminally insane persons pronounced cured after a freed poisoner was convicted of doing it again. Home Secretary Reginald Maudling called for a check on all 331 persons released from the Broadmoor Prison Mental Hospital in the past 12 years. He ordered that no criminal be discharged from mental hospitals until he had been pronounced cured by an independent panel, instructed that the procedures for supervision after release be strengthened and appointed two committees to study the laws on the subject. This resulted from the sentencing Thursday of Graham Frederick Young, 24, to life imprisonment for giving fatal doses to two men he worked with and poisoning others who survived. Because a defendant's previous record is not allowed in evidence prior to the verdict, it was not until the jury found Young guilty that the judge was told he had served nine years in Broadmoor for poisoning his father, his sister and a classmate, all of whom recovered.

He had been released as a "model inmate." -But even while a teen-ager in Broadmoor, Young was "experimenting" on other patients. Police gave this case history for Young: A quiet, reserved boy, at 11 he collected mice and beetles and killed them in experiments. Neighbors recalled cats and dogs collapsing with unexplained ailments. He was at the top of his class in chemistry until the family started getting sick and he wound up in Broadmoor at the age of 14, sentenced to 15 years. It might have been longer, but the only fatality, his step- Enjoy The Day- Going To Be The Longest One In Your Life WASHINGTON (AP)-Today will be the longest day in your life.

Every other day since man began recording time has had 86,400 seconds. At 8 p.m. EDT, midnight Greenwich Mean Time, today the world's timekeepers will add an extra second. The purpose is to correct a discrepancy in the time-keeping due to tiny changes in the earth's rotation. The changes were discovered in 1958 with the development of atomic clocks so accurate it would take 50,000 years for one of them to gain or lose a second.

Conventional clocks measure time based on the assumption that the earth takes exactly 24 hours to rotate on its axis." Atomic clocks record time by registering vibrations of atoms making up a molecule of a special gas. These clocks have noted a tiny slowing in the earth's rotation. To compensate, the world's master clocks since 1958 have been subject to fairly frequent, very minor corrections of a thous incith of a second here and there. But astronomers of the U.S.S Naval Observatory the nation's official timekeeper, say the necessity for sach frequent changes poses potential dangers. "Every time you correct a clock, you stand a chance of correcting it the wrong way," said Dr.

Rogers were reporting-as Kissinger put it- -that "we have not yet had any clear indication. that the North Vietnamese were interested in serious negotiations." When Nixon first broke off the weekly Paris sessions March 23 on grounds they were being used by the enemy mainly as a propaganda forum, the United States set forth these terms for a resumption: -Indication of Hanoi interest in "serious discussion," or whenever the United States felt it would be useful to discuss particular subjects. As for the U.S. position on a settlement, Nixon Thursday reaffirmed his offer for a U.S. pullout in four months provided the enemy agrees to a cease-fire and return of American prisoners.

Hanoi has spurned this offer to date. Armor of North Vietnamese soldiers and five enemy tanks were reported knocked out. South Vietnamese tanks and armored personnel carriers advanced up Highway 1 behind the paratroopers, about three miles north of the My Chanh River. They found the shattered hulks of four enemy tanks which South Vietnamese marines had knocked out when Quang Tri Province fell on May 1. Infantrymen with the armor collected a number of abandoned heavy weapons.

Small groups of North Vietnamese snipers still lurked in bombed areas behind the paratroopers' front lines, and several South Vietnamese positions along Highway 1 took sporadic artillery fire. President Nguyen Van Thieu flew to Hue and conferred for an hour and a half with his senior commanders in the drive to retake Quang Tri, now in its third day. He was smiling as he came out of the conference. Heavy clashes were reported by paratroopers a and marines who made a pair of large-scale helicopter landings on the coast east of Quang Tri. City on Thursday.

Spokesmen said 90 Communist troops were killed in one of the battles and 73 in another. On the An Loc front north of Saigon, meanwhile, a South Vietnamese regimental commander once accused of killing two American military policemen was killed by an enemy rocket that made a direct hit on his bunkered command post. Lt. Col. Nguyen Viet Can and two other officers were tried for murder in 1969 after the two MPs were killed in a shootout in a Saigon night club.

The court withheld its verdict and ordered a new investigation. A second trial was never held. Blacklisting Threat In Top Chess Match mother, occurred before suspicion fell on the boy, and she was cremated. In the institution he read medical and murder books from a traveling library, examined poisonous berries on the grounds and experimented with other patients' cocoa by bubbling carbon monoxide from a gas stove through it. Those victims just got high, but Young boasted to other inmates: "One day I'll go into the history books as a mass murderer." In February 1971, Broadmoor officials decided he should be set free and the Home Office approved.

Young went to a government retraining center, did well, and was recommended to a photo laboratory to fill a vacancy. Young slipped poison into snacks eaten by two men at the laboratory, and they died. When various other employes came down with mysterious ailments, lost their hair and developed numerous symptoms of poisoning, Young was arrested. At his home the police found diaries listing the potions administered to each of his victims. "His release from Broadmoor was a serious error of judgment," said Young's lawyer after the trial.

Whale Hunting Ban Rejected By Group LONDON (AP) The International Whaling Commission has defeated a U.S. proposal for a one-year ban on whale U.S. delegation sourcees said Britain, Argentina and Mexico voted with the United States Thursday. Iceland, Japan, Norway, Panama, South Africa and the Sovet Union voted against. Canada, France, Denmark and Australia abstained.

Russell Train, American spokesman and interim head of the delegation, said the fight for a whale moratorium was over for 1972. The recent world environment conference in Stockholm, Sweden, endorsed a moratorium. "We are now fighting for substantially reduced catch quotas especially in the North Pacific," Train told a newsman. He added that the United States is now concentrating in getting lower quotas for fin whales in the North Pacific.

With deepest appreciation and Aloha, ASAWO KODANI (YAMASATO) President HAWAII FARMERS SUPPLY, INC. Hilo, Hawaii AMSTERDAM (AP) The president of the World Chess Federation has threatened American champion Bobby Fischer with blacklisting following reports he is holding out for a cut of the gate receipts from his World Series with Boris Spassky of Russia. Dr.

Max Euwe, the world federation president and veteran Dutch grandmaster, said Thursday night that if the 29- -old American fails to appear Sunday for the start of the world chess championship in Reykjavik, Iceland, he stands to lose his rights to play for the world title "not only this time but perhaps forever." Fischer was seen Thursday night at New York's Kennedy airport, but Icelandic Airlines said he did not board its flight to Reykjavik. When newsmen tried to question him, his bodyguards fended them off. The next flight from New York to Iceland is tonight. But Fischer in the past has refused to fly on the Jewish Sabbath, between sundown Friday and sundown Saturday. Informed sources in Reykjavik said that Fischer informed the Icelandic Chess Federation that he wouldn't play unless he got 30 per cent of the gate receipts.

This would be in addition to his share of the $125,000 purse and 30 per cent of the receipts from the sales of television and film rights already agreed to. The Icelandic federation was reported seeking a compromise in negotiations with Fred Cramer, former president of the American Chess Federation, who i is acting as Fischer's advance man. The Icelanders said they have already spent about $200'000 on preparations, and if they meet Fischer's demand they can't break even. The gate receipts probably will be considerable. Matches will be played three to six days a week in a sports palace with seats at $5 each.

And the series is expected to last two months. Euwe said he didn't expect the Icelandic Chess Federation to meet Fischer's demand. He added that it would have grounds for legal action against the American challenger if he didn't show up Sunday. "I don't like Mr. Fischer in our chess world," said Euwe.

"He's a good player but every day we are getting another ultimatum from him like this." ports have been received of injuries because of this problem. The campaign covers all the company's 1970 and 1971 model passenger cars except convertibles and 1970 Mavericks. To correct the problem, Ford and Lincoln-Mercury dealers will replace each plastic front seat shoulder belt gromment with neoprene ring retainers. Ford said that on the basis of a small number of earlier complaints the company converted to rings on its 1972 model cars instead of grommets. The earlier complaints at the time were believed to be isolated cases, the company said.
