B-2 THE SUN-TELEGRAM (CCC1 July 15, 1972 Water Shortage Forces Quick Action in Valley YUCAIPA Residents of the area east of 2nd Street, asked earlier this month to ration their use of water, were completely without water service for several hours Thursday night, said Ira race, general manager of the Yucaipa Valley County Water District. The problems began with a major blowout in a water main on California Street at about 3:30 a.m. Thursday, he said. In order to repair damages to the pipe the district was forced to shut down several wells. This considerably lowered the district's water production, Pace said.

The reservoirs held enough water to maintain service throughout the day and "at 6 p.m. we thought we were still okay," he said. But at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Pace said he received a report that the district's reservoirs had run completely dry. "We began broadcasting with bullhorns throughout the area east and west of 2nd Street at about 8 p.m., asking people to stop using the water," he said.

Pace said the pumps were hard put to supply water to residents west of 2nd Street and that there just wasn't any water left to pump further. Yesterday afternoon Pace said the situation was more or less under control. He said the wells were able to pump enough water to meet customer demands and fill reservoirs as well, by that time. A plea was issued to all residents in the Yucaipa Valley County Water District's service area to try to conserve water. Residents are asked to hold lawn watering and irrigation to a minimum and not to allow water to run away down gutters.

Pace requested that residents with automatic sprinkling systems adjust the timers so that lawns receive just the needed amount of water ana no more. He said a great deal of water escapes the system at. night while automatic sprinkling systems are usually on. "This hot weather is hitting us early and it's staying with us," Pace said. "If it keeps up like it has been I just don't know how we're going to hold out." Observers See an Indication Of Secret Peace Talk Sessions By DAVID MASON PARIS (AP) The kid glove reaction of the United States delegation to the hard-line attitude of the Vietnamese Communists at Thursday's session of the peace talks intrigued observers yesterday as the stage apparently was being set for a new round of secret talks.

The North Vietnamese and Vict Cong delegates to the talks hewed closely to well-worn positions dating back more than a year. There was no sign of progress toward a negotiated settlement. Faced with very similar circumstances in the past, U.S. Ambassador William .1. Porter and his spokesman have blasted the Communists, calling their attitude "boilerplate" and "bombast." Rut Porter, who has gained a reputation as a tough talking negotiator, meekly told newsmen he would make no comment on the latest apparently futile session and said instead first "we'll have a look at the record." Por- accused the United States of "continual sabotage" of the talks.

But there was a remark made by Hanoi delegate Xuan Thuy which caught the ears of his listeners. He told Porter. "You and we must discuss matters in more detail and must reflect more." The American attitude and Thuy's remark may indicate that both sides are preparing the ground for new secret talks, an agenda for which may already have been drafted in diplomatic exchanges during the 10-week gap in the Paris conference. Le Due Tho, the Hanoi Politburo member who has conducted a series of private talks with Dr. Henry A.

Kissinger, is scheduled to return to Paris today. The Americans, who have always preferred negotiations away from the glare of publicity, may have used a soft approach Thursday to avoid rocking the boat before Tho, and possibly Kissinger, again sit down in some secret hideaway. News Analysis ter's new spokesman, David Lambertson, obviously acting under orders, went so far as to call Thursday's session "businesslike," a term which has rarely if ever been employed by an American to characterize any of the 150 sessions of the talks. Lambertson would not say why he thought Thursday's session deserved his his positive-sounding description. A search of American statements made at Thursday's session shows nothing that could be labeled polemical.

At the last previous session, May 4, when the United States broke off the talks indefinitely, there were such remarks as "we got propaganda and bombast and not one single word of substance" from the other side, instead only "sterile propaganda." On the other hand, the Communists on Thursday trotted out their old charges of "genocidal" and "barbarous' war and Sun-Telegram photo by Floyd Rinehart 'This Is Chess, iVo IlasehalV Wonder If He Sees the Shot?

Longer Respect Fischer Why Not Try Atomic Clocks to Prove Other Einstein Relativity Theories? Russians No Bv ROGER LEDMNGTON MOSCOW (AP) Moscow's park bench chess players used to call him "Bobby." Now it's "Fischer." They used to respect and even privately root for the American who wants the world chess crown. They don't anymore.

"lie's slightly touched in the head," muttered a chess enthusiast as his opponent pondered the next mine on a board balanced across a bench. About six million Hussians take chess seriously and there's a growing feeling among them that Fischer has become downright insulting. "This is chess, not baseball," said one chess fan. ''Fischer's no sportsman." There was only praise for Boris Spassky, the Russian world champion who has waited patiently in Reykjavik as Fischer caused delay after delay over his demands for more money, for better lighting and, at last report, for the removal of film cameras from the match site. It was Fischer's self confidence, his individuality and his public claim to being the world's best chess player that, captured the Russians' imagination.

Perhaps bored with the knowledge that the world crown has remained in hour flights to test Einstein's thory that the time a clock measures depends upon its speed relative to the earth, the stars and all other objects in the universe. The theory holds that time travels more slowly for a rapidly moving object than for a stationary one such as the stay-at-home atomic clock with which the airborne clocks were compared. A classic, theoretical example of this so-called "clock paradox" concept is that of twin brothers aged 20. One, an astronaut, takes a 32-year space voyage at close to the speed of light, but by earth standards ages only years in that time. His stay-at-home brother is 52 years old when the astronaut returns to earth.

In an interview with the Associated Press last February, Keating said the global flights one eastward, the other Fischer's latest demands to fear of defeat, at the hands of the world champion. To the accompaniment of his comrades' nodding heads, an elderly Muscovite explained that "Fischer is creating a big hullabaloo about nothing cause he thinks he's going to lose an artificial alibi in case he needs to justify a defeat." Chess Business Booms Because Of Title Match NKW YORK (UPI)-Temperamcntal Bobby Fischer may be a nuisance to international chess officials but he's a bonanza to makers of chess pieces and boards and instructors in the ancient game. Stores in New York City report sales of chessmen and boards and books about chess began soaring weeks before the match between Fischer and the Russian world champion, Boris Spassky, started. The chess men, often with matching boards, sell for anywhere from $5 to $1,000. Occasionally the finer antique shops have even more expensive sets.

Abercrombie Fitch, possibly New York's most exclusive store catering to gaming and sports enthusiasts, said the Fischer-Spassky match has produced the same kind of stimulated demand for sets that the visit of the American table tennis to China last winter created for table tennis tables, balls and paddles. 'T would say we had a 40 per cent bulge in sales of chessmen and boards," a si ore spokesman said. Brentano's, the exclusive Fifth Avenue bookstore which has branches i Washington and Paris, said sales of chess sets spurted for weeks before the match but have dropped off since it started. Sales of books about how to play chess, which cost around $8.95 on the average, also have been good. Chess instructors, who charge $.1 an hour as a rule, have had a marked increase in business.

Public chess and checker halls that rent boards and a place to piny $1 an hour per player also reported a spurt in business.

(AP) After months "I don't think it's funny," the agent Russian hands for 24 years, the man on the street was not overly distraught when Fischer crushed Russia's Tigran Petrosian for the right to face Spassky. The prospect of a ma jor Soviet -American confrontation over the chess board was exciting and appealing. Hut.

the admiration has turned to disgust. For the park bench players, Fischer is either "sumashedshy" (crazy) or sea red. Kit her way, the average Russian privately agrees with his government-eonlrolled newspapers. For months the Soviet press has criticized the American challenger as "a moneygrubbing businessman," a chess player who carries around with him "a disgusting spirit of gain." "Fischer's nothing morn than a capitalist," one bearded player complained. "For him business comes before sports." The news media here haven't devoted much attention to the chess match, but the average Russian chess player knows Fischer is down two points and that Spassky hasn't even begun to fight.

Judge Julius M.

Title ruled that James H. Bedford, a junior college teacher in suburban Glendale who died in 1967 of lung cancer, was not unduly influenced to leave the money to the International Foundation for Cryogenics Research, Inc. Bedford was 73 when he died. His will was contested on behalf of Redford's 12 grandchildren because it revoked a trust he previously set up for them, officials said. Bedford, whose estate was estimated westward had demonstrated that Einstein was right on target.

In two lengthy articles yesterday in the technical journal, Science, the scientists reiterated their claim, giving figures essentially the same as those ticked off by Keating to a newsman several months previously when he was still making delicate analyses. They said that, thanks to the findings of the gadabout atomic clocks, "there seems to be little basis for further arguments" against the clock paradox theory. "In fact," they said, "the experiments were so successful that it is not unrealistic to consider improved versions of atomic clocks designed to investigate other aspects of the general relativity theory." to be worth $360,000, signed the will 13 days before his death. His body now floats frozen in a tank of liquid nitrogen somewhere in Arizona, a fa.mily member said. In his ruling, Title wrote: "While the personal view of this court may be that the spending of substantial monies on the so-called science of cryogenics represents bad business or professional judgment, it is not for this court to impose its own ideas as to whether the decedent should or should not have determined to leave a substantial amount of his money for such a purpose." He added that most of the evidence demonstrated that Bedford had the mental competency to revoke the trust by signing the will.

Virgil Burnside, of San Bernardino County, was working as a plasterer on a San Rafael apartment house in 100 degree heat, when his foreman said he saw him fall from the scaffolding and strike his head on a rock. Burnside was dead on arrival at Marin County Hospital.

The coroner said it had not determined whether he died of a heart attack or the fall. Burnside, who had been at San Quentin on a second-degree burglary conviction since April, 19(18, was to have been discharged next October 8. lie in a Cage "The next day, when Mark Wilson, an Emory graduate student working on the experiment, returned to the island to visit the animals and bring food, Jiggs came screaming out of the woods to greet him," tho spokesman said. "He got back into his cage and stuck out his arm to be scratched, then turned his back to the bars, so Wilson could scratch his back." Now, Jiggs and the other chimps seem to be thriving, though no offspring are in evidence. They eat foliage, bugs, crabs and small rodents, supplementing the diet Wilson brings them daily.

Wilson brings them a special monkey chow made of cereal, grass, grain, milk and cod liver oil. The apes sleep in two small A-frame houses on stilts which were placed there primarily for use during rainy and cold weather. "No heat ill be provided, to see if the chimps can tolerate the climate this winter," said Dr. Cieoffrey H. Bourne, director of Yerkes Center, which is supported by the National Institute of Health.
