Opinions Differ On McGovern LONDON (AP) Opinions of George McGovern vary as much abroad as they do in the United States. Some see him as a saviour, others as a radical isolationist. Many say he has no chance at all to win, while others contend that win or lose against President Nixon in November, the 49-year-old senator from South Dakota is bringing change to America. Most opinion of the Democratic challenger comes in the form of newspaper editorials; few government leaders are willing to speak out on the presidential race in the United States, at least at this stage. But one leader has.

Premier Giuli Andretti of Italy assailed McGovern in a speech to the Senate in Rome. "One thing don't like. about McGovern's Vietnam program is his promise to get out of Vietnam immediately," Andreotti said. He added that his own feeling is that "certain international issues take time to be settled." Officials Displeased On McGovern's call for cutback of U.S. forces in Europe, the Italian leader made no statement, but government officials are known to be displeased with any cutback unless Soviet troops decrease, too.

In Britain, there was this sampling of editorial comment on McGovern: The Economist, an independent, highly respected weekly. wrote: "His commitments on ending war in Vietnam and withdrawing American forces from Europe, as well as his ill-defined defense policies, will cause apprehension among many of America's allies. But he is no more a bugeyman than he is a messiah. That both labels have been hung around his neck by members of his own party will be a handicap, perhaps an insupportable one. He could lose the election on the first and disillusion so many of his sunporters if he wins on the second." Positions Changing The Daily Telegraph, conservative: "Mr.

McGovern has, even at this early stage, begun to back down from earlier stance of unconditional bolting from Vietnam. He says he would now keep ground forces in Thailand and naval forces in the Pacific unfil the release of American prisoners. He will probablv Arkansas Owns Diamond Mine MURFREESBORO, Ark.

EFFECTS SMALL SPACE CENTER, HOUSTON (AP) Three men will walk into an altitude chamber at the Manned Spacecraft Center this week and not come out for 56 days. The three, astronauts Robert L. Crippen, William E. Thornton and Karol J. Bobko, are the subjects for the Skylab Medical Experiments Altitude Test (SMEAT), an eight-week dress rehearsal for the flight next year of an orbiting laboratory.

The astronauts will live in the chamber and work just as spacemen will next year aboard Skylab. The only difference will be that Crippen, Thornton and Bobko will be on the ground and not in the weightlessness of space. Space agency officials say the purpose of the test, which begins Wednesday, will be to establish a baseline for Skylab. By studying the effects on the men's bodies for 56 days of confinement on the ground, doctors will be better able to identify the changes that are caused only by weigh- The astronauts are expected to be affected by such things as the cramped space, atmospheric pressures and gases, the unique Skylab food and the tedium of life in a tank. But the effects are expected to be small, noticeable only to physicians and their instruments.

Everything in the test simulates the actual hardware in a Skylab. The food is the same, the communications system is the same and even the medical experiments to be conducted are the same. Atmosphere in the chamber will be maintained at 70 per cent oxygen and 30 per cent nitrogen at five pounds per square inch.

Wallace Enters Center For Rehabilitation Care BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) Crippled Alabama Gov. George C.

Wallace has begun four weeks of therapy and training designed to make him physically and occupationally independent. Wallace entered Spain Rehabilitation Center in the University of Alabama Medical Center complex Friday after spending nearly eight weeks at Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring, Md. Wallace received a spinal injury in a May 15 assassina- Infant Sons Get A Lift Infant twins occupy basket on a peasant's carrying pole south of Quang Tri, South Vietnam.

He is paralyzed from the waist down. The governor, who spent last week at the Democratic National Convention in Miami Beach, will remain at the Spain Center until he is totally independent, Dr. George Traugh, a specialist in physical medicine, said. NO SPECIAL TREATMENT Traugh said Wallace would follow a normal hospital schedule and "will get no preferential treatment at all. He is a patient who happens to be a governor." He added Wallace would be allowed to confer with aides and conduct state business only when the day's therapy ends about 4:30 p.m.

Therapy sessions are scheduled four times a day. Wallace will continue to exercise his arms so he will be able to maneuver his wheel chair. The first aim of doctors is to prevent infection, Traugh said, and the second is to make the governor independent. Traugh met Wallace in Maryland last week and accompanied him to the convention. "I am amazed at how well he held up at Miami Beach," the doctor said, pointing out that Wallace's pain has decreased in frequency and intensity.

"I had to intervene on many occasions, or he would have sat and talked with people for hours. "His spirits have improved on daily basis since he left Maryland and his family is responding beautifully. "He is one of the hardest working patients I've had. He gives 100 per cent cooperation." Traugh said Wallace has felt some sensation in his legs, but described them as heavy and tingling and said he did not know what the feeling meant. He said it would be at least six months before it could be determined if Wallace would ever walk again.

A reception at the center is set for Monday to give Wallace, other patients and staff members a chance to get acquainted. "Then we'll tell all of them, 'Now that you've met him, go back to work and let him go to Traugh said. Man Kills Self In Gun Mishap THE SUNDAY NEWS, JULY 16, 1972- World Chess Tournament Hangs Fire REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) edge even closer to Mr. Nixon's position with time." The Guardian, liberal: "It IS still uncertain whether Mr. McGovern will ignore the old Democratic blocs and seek to consolidate his new coalition of youth, woman and blacks.

his choice of running mate suggests a certain caution But it is doubtful whether there will be any major realignment this year. Whichever course McGovern takes, Mr. Nixon unfortunately still remains the favorite." The Times, independent, said part of McGovern's program is "going to be more than many Democrats can swallow" including the call for "an immediate and complete withdrawal from Vietnam without making any stipulation about the prisoners. It is extraordinary that any serious political party could commit itself to a position so politically and diplomatically unrewarding. From the point of view of winning votes-let alone from the point of view of a political to make so the men involved must be large and unnecessary a concession.

Mr. McGovern has said that to get the prisoners back he would rather beg than bomb. It should be possible for an American government to negotiate without resorting to either of these extremes." Here is what is being said elsewhere about the Democratic nominee: West Germany: The Frankfurther Run- dschau, conservative "McGovern is part of one of the most menacing of contemporary phenomena. The turning of people inward on their own problems. Menacing because one cannot withdraw from the problems and bothersome tasks of international politics.

They only come back more archly and sometimes with fatal consequences. Isolationism is impossible." 8 Arrested In JFK Jr. Kidnap Plot ATHENS, Greece (AP) The government announced on Saturday the arrest of eight Greeks who it claimed planned to kidnap John F. Kennedy son of Jacqueline Onassis who lives part of the time on a Greek island. The government also announced that security police arrested four West Germans, including a young woman, on charges of planning bombings, kidnapings and assassinations in Greece.

The government announcement said that the eight Greeks had patterned themselves after the Tupamaro urban guerrilla organization in Uruguay and that they sought to overthrow Greece's military-backed regime. The announcement described the eight as being members of an organization called "New They range in age from 23 to 45. KIDNAPS PLANNED They had planned to kidnap ambassadors, bankers, and such people as noted GreekAmerican businessman Tom Pappas and young Kennedy, the government said. The announcement said this information was divulged by the group ringleader, Christos Ramadanis, 31, during interrogation by military police. The announcement said security police arrested the Germans a week ago.

It added that Ernst Zorer, 32, Werner Robbers, 26, Jurgen Obermayer, 27, and Susanne Baustnger, 19, allegedly planned the escape of a fugitive Greek opposition figure. All were described as students, and Zorer as the leader of the group.

2653.55 LITITZ PIKE NEFFSVILLE, PA, 569-0433 Boris Spassky fished for salmon and Bobby Fischer kept his Sabbath Saturday as chess officials scrambled to save the world championship. After talks with officials of the International and Icelandic chess federations, Fischer's lawyer, Paul Marshal, announced the American challenger had withdrawn his objection to the presence of movie cameras in the playing hall "so long as they don't blow his mind." Marshal also asked the officials to reconsider their decision to uphold the referee in declaring a forfeit 1 because Fischer missed the second game of the 24-game series Thursday. Fischer boycotted the session, saying the cameras distracted him. Marshal said new evidence was being prepared that might stave off cancellation of the match. He wouldn't say what the evidence was.

SPASSKY IN LEAD Fischer's failure to turn up for his second encounter with the world champion gave Spassky a 2-0 lead. Spassy needs 12 points to retain the title, Fischer Each game won counts a point. A draw is half a point. Fischer is refusing to play game No. 3 Sunday unless the point the Russian gained by default is scratched from the score sheet.

The deadlock seemed unbreakable, but Fischer's attorneys and his second, the Rev. William Lombardy, were trying to find a way out. One official connected with the International Chess Federation-FIDE-said he thought it was impossible to take the point away from Spassky. Fischer boycotted game No. 2 because, he said, the noise from hidden movie cameras created "outrageous" playing conditions.

An engineer tested the noise level of the cameras and found no difference in the sound in the empty hall with or without cameras runthem ning. The Icelandic organizers earlier agreed to remove the television and movie cameras, although revenue from the rights helped to raise the total prize money to $300,000, the richest chess championship in history. BUTLER, Pa. (AP) -A 21- year-old man shot himself to death by accident during a party at his downtown apartment, the Butler County coroner's office said Saturday. William Somerville was pronounced dead at the scene Friday night by Coroner William Young, who said the victim apparently "was fooling around" when a revolver discharged.

Young said Somerville was struck once in the head. Three other persons at the apartment were not injured. WOOLWORTH'S Take Home Our OVEN-FRESH BAKED GOODS Baked Fresh Daily On The Premises 21 N.
