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 self-confidence his individuality and his public claim to being the best chess player that captured the imagination Perhaps bored with the knowledge that the world crown has remained in Russian hands for 24 years the man on the street was not overly distraught when Fischer crushed Tigran Petrosian for the right to face Spassky THE PROSPECT of a major Soviet-American confrontation over the chess board was exciting and appealing But the admiration has turned to disgust For the park bench players Fischer is either mashedshy" (crazy) or scared Either way the average Russian privately agrees with his government-controlled newspapers For months the Soviet press has criticized the American challenger as money-grubbing a chess player who carries around with him disgusting spirit of nothing more than a one bearded player complained him business comes before The news media here 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 BE NO STALEMATE in a new chess game that has hit Chicago department stores George McGovern and Richard

federal shelters because of homes lost in tropical storm Agnes The storm that moved from Florida to New York in the third week of June claimed lives and caused an estimated $16 billion in damages Romney reported that only 1362 families have been given temporary dwellings while another 17146 are on waiting lists Romney based his figures on information from HUD staffs at 47 disaster offices President Nixon had proposed an Agnes Recovery Act that would allocate $17 billion specifically to damage from Agnes Homeowners and businessmen would receive up to $5000 each in outright grants to replace property and belongings They would be eligible for 1 per cent federal loans for losses over $5000 At a White House meeting Vice President Spiro Agnew briefed 500 mayors county executives and

composer Friedrich Smetana in 1900 composed his symphonic poem he depicted a clear stream speeding through the Bohemian forests Today the Moldau is a polluted smelly dirty waterway A large papermill near the source has polluted the river once praised as one of the most beautiful of Central Europe EAST EUROPE has more than its share of pollution The boycott by Warsaw Pact countries with the exception of Romania of the recent UN Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm Sweden was not meant as evidence that pollution does not exist in East Europe Czechoslovakia Hungary Poland and Bulgaria boycotted the conference because East Germany was not permitted to participate Some of East industrialized regions suffer even worse from pollution than any other parts of the world Counteractions there started only very late Communist regimes in the last 30 years gave priority to production targets rather than the side effects of unplanned industrialization For years they ignored warnings and complaints by scientists WESTERN observers say the greatest abuse was the deliberate not always economically justified but ideologically motivated location of industrial plants in some of East most interesting environments The Nowa Huta steel combine was built near clerically and Krakow old royal capital in order to the city In the process some of the most fertile agricultural fields were destroyed As early as 1964 the Warsaw newspaper Zycit Warsz-awy complained that display no concern and make no provisions at all in their building plans for the installation of water-purification But only recently have East European governments taken steps to deal with contamination of water and air Despite these measures the struggle against pollution has not kept pace with the rapid growth of heavy industry THE PRAGUE newspaper Zemedelske Noviny reported recently that in the 12 most polluted areas of Czechoslovakia smokestacks of factories and power stations emit 32 million tons of light ash and 28 million tons of sulfur dioxide every year The direct and indirect damage to the national economy is estimated at some 3500 million crowns ($500 million) annually The major cause of air pollution in Czechoslovakia is the use of domestic lignite of inferior quality In 1968 Czech planners following the trend set by advanced western nations sought to reduce coal production in favor of liquid and gas fuels Later Czechoslovakia abandoned this concept for further expansion of brown coal mining IN HUNGARY much research has been done on the effects of pollution
