Nixon is expected to contend that sharp cuts in defense spending would wreck his ability to negotiate with the Communists from a position of strength, and that Democratic spending plans on domesic issues would rekindle the fires of inflation.

In the exchange, Fis cher lost the bishop for two pawns. Byrne called it a blunder. But if it was a blunder it was an attempt to inject perhaps an appar ently stalemated game. The Rev.

"Since I'll have to analyze i for Bobby before the adjournec match resumes probably shouldn't say more." The loss of his bishop wa typical of the American. It wa an attempt to break the garni open, avoiding a standoff. What surpised many was cautious play in the opening and middle games by Fischer who has a reputation for kille instinct.

There have been hints that he Vatican has initiated con- acts on behalf of the American msoners, but this was believed first time an American official has drawn a clear picture of the Holy See's efforts. Rogers spoke at a news conference in Rome shortly after meeting with Pope Paul VI for an hour in private audience at he Vatican.

The Vatican communique, one of the Jongest ever issued after a papal audience with a government official, said: "Mr. Rogers stated the continuing desire of the United States for a prompt, negotiated solution to the Vietnam conflict and thanked the Holy Father for his tireless efforts on behalf of peace in that region and the whole world." At his news conference, Ro gcrs said he was generally hopeful that the reopening of the peace talks might bring some movement by the North Vietnamese toward a settlement of the war. He gave these to gain its adoption. The political game was really up early Tuesday, when the roll called on the first big issue to face the convention: that of seating 151 contested McGovern delegates from California. On that test, McGovern's forces amassed 1,618.28 delegate votes.

That not gave back his contested delegates; it showed where the power was. Convention Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien called it a clear indication of McGovern's i basic strength. 1 He said Humphrey and Mus- kie "did what comes naturally" by yielding to the inevitable and their candidacies.

The South Vietnamese claimed more than 300 enemy killed in fighting around the city Tuesday. Government casualties were put at six killed and 13 wounded.

The trooper was shot in a Catholic area where he was in- vestigating an ea-rlier bombing incident. With police and part-time soldiers, the security force in the province numbers a record 31,000 men. Their immediate job is to head off clashes when tens of thousands of Protestants march Wednesday in annual celebrations of the battle of the Boync. To Protestants, these marches symbolize their determination to stay British and prevent a united Ireland. Most Catholics regard the marches as a provocative display.
