Cod war red herring? LONDON The threat of a renewed cod war between Britain and sparsely-populated Iceland over fishing rights is seen by the foreign office here as a red herring obscuring a more critical underlying issue A foreign office source said Thursday We are studying this matter intensively and we make no secret of the fact that we are very concerned at the moment But he stressed that the basic dispute is not entirely over whether Iceland hasthe right to extend its fishing limits to 50 miles from 12 It also involved that countrys future relations with NATO and the Soviet bloc.

Fishing limits were important but probably secondaiy Police won't slow down VICTORIA A spokesman for the Victoria police union said Thursday the union will not stage a strike or work slowdown during contract negotiations with the city "There will be no strike or other illegal slowdown, no matter what the city may do, said Dermod Owen-Flood He denied reports that he had said the unions rejection of the citys latest proposal might lead to a strike or slowdown Smoke hampers search MAYO Smoke from forest fires covering more than 42,000 acres hampered the aerial search for a single-engine airciaft with two men aboard, missing since Sunday Ed Mc-( i ae and Hi uce Collison left here Sunday in a Stinson 108 on a flight to three airstrips in the area Local pilots began a search Monday and were joined Tuesday by aircraft from the 442 search and rescue squadron based at Comox Posties fighting back OTTAWA Letter carriers here are trying to enlist support from downtown businessmen in stopping plans to reduce daily business office mail deliveries to two from three.

He is youthful in appearance, smiles easily even when the jokes at his expense and is a Roman Catholic Senator Edward Kennedy helped in Eagletons senatorial campaign four years ago. Eagleton dislikes being labelled either a conservative or a liberal because he says his views depend on the issue involved Friends and close associates regard him as a liberal on most matters Eagleton's rise in Missouri politics has been meteoric His career began with election as St Louis circuit attorney when he was 27 Four years later, he became Missouri's attorney-general and another four years later, at 35, he won the lieutenant-governors office Since the convention started in Miami Beach and after Senator Edmund Muskie, his first choice, withdrew, Eagleton has aligned himself with McGovern forces In the Senate, Eagleton has been linked with labor and consumer issues.

PARAMOUNT C-Z sees a bad year ANt OLIVER A critical log shortage and increased labor costs could adversely affect earnings of Crown Zellerbach anada Ltd during the remainder of 1972, President Robert G. Rogers said today In announcing results for his company's first six months, Mi Rogers said buoyant markets for lumber and pi wood contributed to improved sales and earnings, compared to the same pcnod in 1971, when the industry was just beginning to iccovei from a long period of severely depressed earnings Sales for the Six months this year amounted to $113.5 million compared to $93 5 million a year ago, while net income before extraordinaiy items was $5 9 million, against $3 6 million a year ago VALLEY iZEBB CART OPEN DAILY 1 p.m. 'til Dusk (Weather Permitting) Go-Cart Track A 1 8-Hole Mini Golf Course MORNINGS phone 723 S404 Smith Rd. AFTER HOURS A EVES PHO" 723 408 world I flap within an hour of the start, be icplayed on Sunday when the third game is scheduled Fischers failure to appear set a pieeedent in world championship history and left him trailing 0-2 in the 24-game series The 29- ear-old challenger boycotted the second game because of a wrangle over the positioning of television cameras aiound the stage Thirty-five minutes aftei his clock was set in motion for him, the American businessman holding the television coverage rights agreed to removal of the cameras Fischer, closeted in his hotel suite across the capital from the hall, then demanded the 35 minutes be restored to him When this demand was refused by the chief arbiter of the match, West German grandmaster Lothar Schmid, the temperamental New Yorker decided to stay away. Spassky was declared the winner when a full hour had elapsed In his protest, handed over to Schmid, Fischer is renewing his demand for removal of the cameras which he says distract him Even though the organizers of the contest have become cynically accustomed to Fischers almost daily threats, there is considerable pessimism here about the prospects of the match of the century" continuing In The Hague, Dr.

Max Fluwe, president of the World Chess Federation, expressed pessimism that the match would be completed and remarked I am very sad about Mr Fisc, r's constant disruptions Chess experts here say it is obvious that the appeals committee Schmid, two Icelanders, a Russian and an Amer can will not allow the second game to be replayed Such a concession, after all the others made to the challenger by the increasingly irate oiganiers of the tournament, piobably would send Spassky flying home Meanwhile, one question being asked is whether Fischer believes he can fight back from a 0-2 deficit to win the series, bearing in mind that Spassky will start the third game with white and thus has the first move Should the series collapse the Icelanders stand to lose huge sums of money. Apart from the contracts involved and the cost of setting up all the championship activities, Iceland had been counting on the match to bring a tourist boom Fischers future may be affected should he break off the championship There are senior chess officials here who feel that he should be severely censured from having another chance at the world title for a number of years.
