Times WASHINGTON Some day any US soldier who says likely will be taken up on his offer rather than be banished to the stockade That is the opinion of I Secretary of the Army Robert Froehlke a former insurance j' executive who thinks the Army ought to be run like a business giving disgruntled a chance to drop out said in an interview Froehlke suggested that at first the Army might put in the kind of many businesses have for employes who wish to resign That is the army might require the quitter to forego a certain bonus he might have earned by serving full term just as some businesses deny resigning employes a vacation or monetery bonus if they served a certain length of time Froehlke who has been Army Secretary almost a year noted that the Japanese self-defense force provides its troops an opportunity to quit-but with the loss of a bonus Eyentually Froehlke envisions a resignation option for US soldiers with no strings attached idea which sounds like the progressive

1 Spassky is just as prickly as Fischer about money The 3 5-year-old Soviet player just caused a huge scandal by splitting with his long-time coach claiming creative and business differences The rumor in chess circles is that Spassky thought that as the world champion he ought to be getting more money than Fischer Right now the Russian earns about $350 a month from his job as a chess coach at a Moscow club plus about $1 800 yearly for tournaments abroad The official viewpoint is of course that the honor of being world champion ought to be enough and Spassky be so crass What do young singer
