Agnew criticized "the liberal media" and Democrats at a $50-dollar-a-head fund raising dinner Thursday night. "A significant number' of news media," Agnew said, "have merged as participants in, rather than" reporters of, our political process And they want to defeat the Nixon Administration and all that it stands for." Agnew said, "The preponderant number of those who shape the policies of the major vehicles of news information in this country have been opposed from the to the Nixon Administration." The Democrats have shown, Agnew said, "that they have a remarkable knack for dividing Americans into competing activist segments. "Their philosophy is divisive They put generation against generation, race against race, sex against sex and class against class." Unlike the Democrats, Agneu said, Republicans "are not served up by a fawning claque of correspondents, columnists and commentators who compare ideological notes in Georgetown parlors, Manhattan studios and aboard campaign planes." Although there are many tellectually honest journalists trying to do a fair, objective job of reporting," Agnew said, "such fairness has become an increasingly rare commodity in recent years." Because of this unfair reporting, he said, "prospects are dim that American readers and viewers will get anything but a AGNEW Please turn to Page News Highlights Around the World Bastille Day in Paris PARIS (AP) Thousands of Parisians and tourists lined the sunny Champs-Elysees for the traditional Bastille Day military parade today which was highlighted by a bulky surface-to-surface missile with nuclear capability.

Three soldiers and three civilians were reported killed, raising the confirmed death toll 16 since Wednesday and to 432 in the three years of communal violence in Northern Ireland. The army claimed to have hit more than 30 gunmen, but recovered no bodies because the guerrillas carry away their casualties tor burial or treatment. Shooting erupted in all of Belfast's major Catholic strong- iiolds 'after three battalions of troops invaded the IRA "no go" district of Andersonstown to quell gunmen who had poured intensive fire at an army command post for iour days. It was the first time the army had entered one of the districts taken over fay the IRA.

the past such areas have been off limits to prevent a confrontation with the guerrillas holding sway there. Protestant militants have jeen demanding for months that the army go into the no go areas and clean out the IRA. The invasion of Andersonstown probably intensify the Protestants' demands that the army now go into the barricaded areas of Londonderry that are most famous symbols of Catholic defiance, the Bogside and Greggan districts, or "Free Derry," as the IRA calls them. Army headquarters said about 700 men remained in con- of Andersonstown early today but said it did not, know how long they would stay there. The invasion of Andersons- town was ordered by Britain's administrator for Northern Ireland, William Whitelaw, Army headquarters said.

It marked a reversal, at least temporarily, of Wbitelaw's policy of reducing military activity in an ef fort- to wean away the- grassroots Catholic support of the IRA. The retaliation began shortly before midnight. Nodine Quits Job At PHS Ralph Nodine, director of vocational education for the local school system, a resigned his position, effective Aug. 11.

The four-man committee NODINE Please tnrn to Pace 3 ported the decision of chief referee Lothar Schmid to award the game to Boris Spassky because Fischer failed to appear. The decision left Fischer two games down in a 24-game match where Fischer needs the equivalent of 12 victories and a draw to take Spassky's title. Fischer stayed in his quarters Thursday and refused to play unless three cameras filming the match for movie and television sales were removed from the hall.

Since the American challenger -lost the first game on Wednesday, referee Lothar Schmid's forfeit ruling gave Spassky a 2-0 lead. Schmid said the third game of the 24-game match would be held on schedule Sunday, but the future of the match was very much in doubt. Schmid said it depends on Nixon's recent lifting of the meat' import quotas, a move designed to combat rising meat prices. Smith said about 100 stevedores are employed during the three day unloading job, hired by International Longshoremen's Association Local 1974. Big refrigerated trucks wait to take the cargo to destinations all along the U.S.
