DAILY TIMES-ADVOCATE. ESCONDIDO. JULY 10, 1972 A-3 A Shell kills American general on troops witMraw SAIGON (UPI)-A South Vietnamese task force that moved into battered Quang Tri city last week withdrew to the edge of town today and allied officers said they expect a major fight before recapturing the provincial capital from the Communists. The South Vietnamese said last Friday that governnment troops had occupied two-thirds of the city and the only major obstacle was the capture of the walled, 19th century citadel near the center of the city. However, allied officers said today the North Vietnamese defenders have received reinforcements and are prepared to fight for the city.

"Quang Tri is going to be very hard to take. The bunker complexes are unbelieveable, a U.S. adviser told UPI correspondent Barney Seibert. They are determined to hold Quang Tri. There is at least a battalion (about 500 men) in there.

Far to the south, U. S. Brig. Gen. Richard J.

Tallman and three other Americans were killed by a North Vietnamese artillery shell near An Loc, a provincial capital 60 miles north of Saigon that has been under siege since soon after the current Communist offensive started on March 30. Two other Americans were injured. Tallman, 47, of Honesdale, and his party had just stepped out of their helicopter when a shell hit nearby. They jumped into a bunker, then climbed out again and were running for a command post 100 yards away when a second shell exploded in their midst. President Nguyen Van Thieu landed in the same spot two days ago during an inspection tour but no artillery shells came within 400 yards of the Thieu party.

Tallman was deputy commander of the 3rd Regional Assistance Command operating in the An Loc area. He was the father of seven children and had been stationed in Vietnam for one year. At least nine U'S. generals, one admiral and five South Vietnamese generals have been killed in the Vietnam war. U.

S. Navy officials said an American destroyer sank three barges Sunday that were unloading a Chinese freighter off the coast of North Vietnam. The freighter was not fired upon.

i. I- Demos still in debt Actor Tony Randall gave in to a yawn after participating in a 19-hour telethon in Miami Beach over the weekend to raise money for the Democratic party. The party realized some $4.5 million toward its goal of wiping out its debt of $9 million from the last campaign. fr A ioff States delegates bickering Telethon proceeds fall short of goal MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) The Democratic party says nearly $4.5 million was pledged during its 19-hour moneyraising telethon.

But despite the financial success of the program, the party is still more than $6 million in debt from the 1968 campaign. The party conducted the television extravaganza in an effort to wipe out a $9. 3-million 1968 debt. Performers appearing on the show which ended Sunday night donated their services, but the Democrats reportedly had to pay the ABC television network $1.6 million for the airtime. Officials were hopeful that late mail-in contributions would push the shows gross over $5 million.

Viewers pledged the contributions via telephone calls to 32 regional centers manned by 12,000 volunteers or charged it to credit cards. At one point in the show early Sunday morning, one telethon host placed a call to the Western White House at San Clemente, to ask President Nixon for a contribution. The call, however, never got past what apparently was a guard who thought the idea was a bad joke. Associated Press Photc Brush fires scorch L.A. area BELFAST (UPI) Irish Republican Army (IRA) gunmen returned to the attack today, their 13-day cease-fire abandoned.

Gunbattles spread across Belfast and Londonderry and 10 persons died in the fighting or through "executions. In the first hours after the IRA Provisional wing called off their truce Sunday night, six civilians died in Belfast, including a 14-year-old girl and a Roman Catholic priest shot as he administered last rites to another victim. Earlier Sunday, while the cease-fire still was in effect, police found the bodies of four men who apparently had been executed. The deaths raised the toll for Northern Ireland's three years of bloodshed to 416. We are very close to civil war, a spokesman for the Protestant Vanguard Movement said.

The militant Ulster Defense Association (UDA) marshalled men in the streets of Protestant neighborhoods. These men have been called up for emergency duty, a UDA source said. They are awaiting the call to arms. Sharp gunbattles raged in several parts of Belfast until the early morning hours. Most were between troops and Catholic snipers, although Protestant gunmen were drawn into the gun duels as well.

Some of the bitterest fighting raged in the Catholic Ballymur-phy section. An army observation post in a lumber yard was heavily attacked, and it was near there that Father Noel Fitzpatrick was shot in the neck as he knelt over a dying man to administer the last rites. A Provisional IRA statement from Dublin accused British troops of breaking the ceasefire by firing rubber bullets and nausea gas at almost 2,000 Catholics, including women and children, trying to take over abandoned houses in the Protestant Suffolk housing estate. The confrontation developed into a gunbattle between troops and snipers. British commanders denied troops had broken the truce and said their men fired only when fired upon.

Northern Ireland Secretary William Whitelaw said in a statement: "The incident was clearly set up by the IRA to provide a justification for a resumption of terrorist activity. Later, a spokesman for Whitelaw said he believed the incidents Sunday could have been resolved by peaceful discussions which were going on, and said Whitelaw was ready to resume talks at any time. Wind-driven flames scorched some 150 acres of brush in San Bernardino County east of Yucaipa Sunday as 100 men, aided by air tankers and a helicopter, fought to contain the blaze. Two other fires broke out in the Los Angeles area over the weekend, one burning 50 acres in La Tuna Canyon and another at Angeles National Forest.

(AP) -California Democrats, -with a tradition of bickering and infighting, are at it again in the fight for convention seats. Even before the partys chartered jet got off the ground en route to Miami Beach they were battling over who got the first-class seats. As it turned out, big party contributors at least 51,000 a year got the luxury seats and a dozen other delegates were relegated to the more-cramped tourist section. The fat cats win again, complained one displaced black, Harold Barner, a community-college teacher from Redwood City. He is committed to Sen.

George McGovern. State party Chairman Charles Manatt, used to being the middle man in all sorts of party disputes, arranged a trade and Barner stayed in first class. But there is increasing bitterness over the more critical question of who gets Californias 271 seats at the convention a question that may not be settled until sometime early Tuesday morning after hours of haggling. McGovern cochairman Willie L. Brown a state assemblyman from San Francisco, accused stop-McGovern forces during a state caucus Sunday night of "playing a vile, dirty kind of politics.

He said Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey forces led by San Francisco Mayor Joseph Alioto and big Humphrey contributor Eugene Wyman had tried to steal McGoverns California seats on the convention Rules Committee earlier in the day. There was no immediate response from Humphrey HONOLULU (UPI) The International Longshoremens and Warehousemens Union will shut down every port in Hawaii today over failure to get a new contract after 15 months of negotiations. Late Sunday night, Chairman Hubert Kanaha of the ILWU Longshore Negotiating Subcommittee announced statewide stop-work meetings to be held this morning by Hawaiis 900 dockworkers.

Everything will be shut down but military cargo, he told newsmen at ILWU Memorial Headquarters. Kanaha said the stop-work meetings would be on an indefinite length and would be held on each island. These negotiations must be brought to a head one way or another, he said. The announcement triggered fears that a statewide dock strike would follow the stop-work meetings. Economists have warned that such a strike would devastate Hawaiis economy, almost totally dependant on surface shipping for commodities.

There has been no declaration of a strike and there wont be any unless the committee is convinced that all avenues of working out a negotiated settlement have been exhausted, Kanaha emphasized. Gov. John A. Burns had no comment but confirmed he had been notified before the announcement. Acting ILWU President William Chester will attend the meetings on the big island of Hawaii and on the island of Maui.

ILWU International Vice President Louis Goldblatt will attend the Honolulu meeting and ILWU West Coast Labor Relations Chief William Ward will beat the Kauai stop-work meeting. Kanaha said the International ILWU officials will reconvene in Honolulu Monday afternoon. The announcement followed 15 months of arduous negotiations between the ILWU and the Hawaii stevedoring industry. During the negotiations, strike deadlines and threats were withdrawn several times at the request of Burns. SAN DIEGO (UPI) Passengers apparently are going along with the new methods being used by Pacific Southwest Airlines to prevent hijackings.

The airline, prompted by two hijackings on successive days last week and new rules issued by President Nixon, began rigid inspection procedures last Friday. Only passengers are being admitted to the waiting area, hand baggage is being inspected and each passenger is required to pass through a metal detecting device. Airline officials said they have received no major complaints, and passenger traffic remains normal. Mr. and Mrs.

Ron Matthews of San Francisco were among the passengers inspected before Flight 389 Sunday. I dont mind the delay it causes, Matthews said. Its important that they check so as to cut down the possibility of such incidents occurring. Mrs. Matthews said the airline notified them to check in for the flight a little earlier than usual because of the inspection.

The Boeing 727 jet used for Flight 389 was the same one that was hijacked last Thursday night. To ease passengers qualms, the airline had an organist in the waiting area playing Tiptoe Through the Tulips. Champ passive; challengers complaints resolved Final obstacles cleared for chess match black leather and metal swivel model, flown in from New York. Spasskys Russian advisers arrived shortly after the much talked about chair and studied it suspiciously. Then they left without comment.

Now the Icelandic organizers face a new problem: Where to find a similar chair in Iceland? It would look better if both Spassky and Fischer had the same chairs, said Gudmundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic Chess Federation. Fischer took one look at the dozen different chairs the Icelanders had assembled from Reykjaviks furniture stores the other day, sat down in some of them and then gave his verdict: Fly in my own chair. Spassky, the 35-year-old world champion, did not seem to worry much about details of the $250,000 match. Before leaving for a salmon fishing tour of northern Iceland the defending champion said, I am not going to argue about chairs, chess boards and sets. I will leave that to Bobby.

It makes no difference to me. After lengthy and dramatic preludes, both Fischer and Spassky appeared ready to start the first of their 24 games Tuesday. Bobby is relaxed and ready. We will play Tuesday unless Spassky is ill, said Fred Cramer, vice president of the U.S. Chess Federation.

Gudmundur Arnlaugsson, deputy referee of the match, spent all day Sunday polishing off the fine details. He tested several chess boards and finally settled for one made in Iceland specially for the match. It has been put together from Icelandic stones. Arnlaugsson, who had to take over when the chief referee Lothar Schmid of Germany flew home Saturday, also has a choice of five or six different chess sets of various sizes. Schmid said he would return Thursday after visiting his son, who was injured in a traffic accident.
