Clean-up on savings By CHARLES FLATO WuMngtn PMt Nwi Strvk Charies Fla to Is a eU knowi American medical writer who has Just completed a visit to China PEKING Chinese government leaders have reached a tentative decision on a program for exchange visits by Chinese and American medical doctors The Chinese appear to now accept the idea first discussed during President visit to Peking last February according to a physician close to Premier Chou En-lai The source also said the doctor exchange program has been under discussion in Paris at the talks between the American and Chinese ambassadors This was the first indication that the Paris talks had dealt with matters of substance in the first three meetings between the two envoys No announcement however of the tentative decision can be expected in the immediate future according to sources There are several reasons 'why One is political Although the escalation of the air and naval war by the United States in Vietnam will not short of an attack on Chinese rail lines into North Vietnam basically alter current Chinese policy toward the United States a large-scale cultural exchange program under the circumstances is highly unlikely at this time A second reason is a protocol matter Sticklers for diplomatic niceties the Chinese would expect to have doctors from here invited to visit the United States before additional Americans are allowed to come here They feel it is necessary for the United States to first reciprocate for their having invited four American doctors to China early this year A third reason has to do with Chinese insistence that until the United States recognizes China any cultural exchange program including two-way visits by doctors must be on a people-to-people basis not govemment-to-gov-emment The Ping-Pong pat-tern of diplomacy it appears is to be followed in the exchange of medical scientists If and when these conditions are met the program at first will be limited The number of doctors from here going to the United States will be small So will the number of Americans to be invited here This is both a matter of logistics and a preoccupation here with other medical problems The logistics concern arises out of an unexpected boom in tourism not only by Americans but by people from scores of other countries Applications for tourist visas have skyrocketed in recent months Chinese tourist bureau officials called CATT the Chinese Administration for Travel and Tourism say that only a fraction of the hotel accommodations needed to meet current demands is available In addition because the vast majority of foreign visitors wishing to come here cannot speak Chinese the supply of translators falls far short of the number that would be required Would-be American physician visitors they point out complicate the translator problem Those bilingual Chinese with a reasonably good working knowledge of English usually are unable to translate medical jargon The number who can is severely limited There is another bar to a large influx of medical visitors at this time The medical community here is absorbed with the aftermath of the cultural revolution which began in 1966 and still is continuing Discussion of all aspects of the Bobby Fischer chess site GROSSINGER NY (AP) American chess grandmaster Bobby 1 Fischer has agreed to Iceland as the site of his 24-game world championship match against Boris Spassky of Russia A spokesman said Fischer would play conditions of the Iceland bid as yet unseen by him and in accordant with such rules as have been laid down by FIDE (International Chess Federation) as yet sot clarified to Some patterns available on special order only Check these 20 savings on flatware Regularly 3498 Wow 2798 Tender 55-piece 1 service for 8 weetPW Sale 5988 Reg 6895 upright vacuum cleaner beats sweeps and cleans all at once Four height adjustments In harvest gold Sale2688 Reg 31 95 easy to handle and store Lightweight cleaner with 3 position vacuum selector In grass green Sale5988 Reg 6895 versatile all steel 10-piece canister cleaner with cord reel 3 way power selector and vibra beat nozzle Whispering 55-piece service for 8 -j on aH our casual dinnerware!
