will square off in the World Chess Championship in Reykjavik Iceland Tuesday at CHAPPELL said a prisoner sometimes will pay a bondsman the full price of the bond which usually is twice the amount of the fine Then if the defendant fails to appear in court the judge will forfeit only half of the bond and the bondsman pockets the rest He estimated that a third of the prisoners who bonded out during a period the commission had under study had the cash to pay their own bonds Chappell recalled the case of a young black who had to pay a bondsman MO to get out of the Forest Hill jail pending trial for an offense for which he could be fined only $50 The bondsman Chappell said told the teen-ager that he would take care of it but when the youth failed to appear in court and the bond was forfeited the bondsman didn't pay it The young man Chappell said was hauled back into court and required to pay the $50 fine Councilman Pat Reece commented that the problem seemed to be that prisoners didn't know the different ways they could get out of jail and that a recently implemented informational form "should solve a lot of man Catholic and Protestant guerrillas Two powerful bombs wrecked shops and damaged homes near the center of the capital An incendiary device razed a house in Belfast's east side sending five persons to the hospital including a 4-y a -o I child Other bombs exploded in Londonderry Armagh and Strabane The fiercest fighting was in the drab postwar housing complexes of West Belfast Gunmen pumped fire from house gardens and high-rise apartment blocks at army emplacements and each other In the Catholic Ballymurphy zone gunmen of the outlawed Irish Republican Army shot it out with British troops in a fight that has raged practically without respite since Ulster's 13-day ceasefire crumbled Sunday night IRA men traded fire with Protestant guerrillas operating from the Springmartin housing complex across the no man's land of Springfield Road Shooting crackled in the Catholic Ardoyne and Lower Falls precincts Six hundred British commandos flew to Northern Ireland Monday night The army said 1200 more men were preparing to leave early Tuesday bringing military strength to 16800 men the highest in more than three years of sectarian warfare The troop movements came after failure by British negotiators to reach an agreement with the IRA Chess

Wilbur Smith Associates will be making the study to decide if there should be more surface parking around the center or if the county should budld a multi-level parking garage Convention Center Board Chairman Herman Smith pointed out that during certain events the center's two parkin glots operate at capacity The $15000 to pay for the study will come from parking lot reserves and not the general fund County Auditor Jack Benson said Benson said the parking lots are making more than enough money to satisfy the debt-service requirements meaning the lots are paying REYKJAVIK Iceland (Reuter) Harassed organizers of the World Chess Championship Monday had to deal with a string of last-minute complaints from American Bobby Fischer but were confident that the long-awaited duel with Boris Spassky could begin Tuesday on schedule (noon CDT) The temperamental Fischer who only agreed to come to Iceland after a number of tough financial demands had been met is now unhappy about the playing facilities At the draw last Thursday when the Soviet world champion won the right to make the first move Fischer expressed disapproval of the chessboard and the overhead lighting the 29-y a -o I challenger marched into the playing hall for a two-hour inspection and declared himself dissatisfied with almost everything Ile reaffirmed that he would not accept the Icelandic marble board he wants green squares instead of black and went on to complain about the pieces to demand that the chess battle audiences' seats be moved farther back and that the platform set up for an American with sole rights to photograph the contest be placed elsewhere and at a different height Icelandic officials said they would try to meet Fischer's demands but they were not sure whether it was possible at this late stage to make all the rearrangements They said they did not think Soassky would find Fischer's complaints too objectionable sophically The president of the host federation Gudmundur Thorareinsson on being quoted a local proverb to the effect that after one or two waves there is always a third replied: "Here in Iceland we are used to the breaking of the great Atlantic waves" One of the outstanding financial disputes appears now to have been settled satisfactorily The Fischer camp had complained about the contract between the organizers and a US impresario giving him exclusive rights to move-by-move coverage of the match Iceland officials said one of Fischer's lawyers Andrew Davies had now signed a statement that he was agreeable to the arrangement Spassky appears to be more relaxed now than a few days ago he had a salmon-fishing break at the weekend hut Fischer remains the favorite among the majority of chess experts here Pal ATTACHED MIKE BUCHHOLZ Attorney David Chappell who helped put together an ordinance that would regulate bail bonding in city jail defended the proposal Monday from attacks by the city attorney and an organization of bail bondsmen City Council after hearing arguments pro and con on the proposal turned the matter over to the council's municipal course committee and the city manager's office for a three-week study CHAPPELL a member of the city's human relations commission which with the Fort Worth-Tarrant County turn aside complaints from City Atty Johndroe Jr that the ordinance was "void and invalid and unconstitutional on its face" Chappell later showed a reporter a letter from Riley Fletcher general counsel of the Texas Municipal League which said in part that "it is possible" for a home rule city such as Fort Worth to pass an ordinance regulating bail bond fees providing the state legislature could confer such a power on cities Johndroe during a pre-council session claimed that the state has pre-empted the field by regulating bail bondsmen and that it is left up to judges to determine who could make a prisoners's bond The city attorney said the proposed ordinance "would restrict who could make bond and defeat the purpose of the whole system" HE MAINTAINED that if the ordinance which provides for a three-man commission to license bondsmen and regulate maximum fees is passed it would prevent a private citizen from making bond for a friend Johndroe also said the ordinance attempts to regulate bonding practices at the state and federal court level Chappell told council members that "Mr Johndroe is not aware of what we're doing" The proposed ordinance would regulate only bondsmen who are in the business to make money not the next-door neighbor who was trying to help out a friend Chappell said Ile added that other provisions of the ordinance which would prohibit the solicitation of bail bond business within 300 feet of a public building setting maximum fees and making it unlawful for bondsmen to give "benefits" to police department or municipal court officials do not contradict state law Chappell also pointed out that the ordinance would regulate bonding procedures at the city level only although a provision provides that a bondsman may be put on a delinquent list if he fails to make good on a bond written at any other level Chief Municipal Court Judge Joe Drago III who commented that the proposal needed more study said that the main problem with the present bail bond system is that some bondsmen are overcharging clients and then failing to take care of their business when their clients fail to appear in court and the judge forfeits the bond MIK Attorney who helpe ordinance ball bondh ROBERT NOBLE SOUTHWESTERN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY has completed ell the requirements to be certified as 1 TOMMY BECK president of the Texas Bail Bondsmen Association of Tarrant County said during the regular council meeting that the ordinance was prepared without any consultation with members of his organization Beck who ran unsuccessfully this year for the state legislature claimed that members of his organization had had no problems with the courts "Sometimes people are overcharged" he said "but I don't know how it happens I know that I have never knowingly overcharged anyone" Mayor Pro Tern Ted Peters commented that the council is interested in preventing abuses "not to destroy the business but to put it on a legal basis" MILLION DOLLAR OU ND TABLE SPASSKY AND his entourage visited the 2000-seat hall Sunday and had only one the board was a little too

from other employes "The congressman organized the cover-tip as I call it" Scherr said "He had Ilaag come to his office and in a statement that he had never received the money "It was the congressman

Central Park Mall to watch the eclipse which darkened 795 per cent of the sun there Bran ley recounted how in ancient times an eclipse was believed to be the result of a dragon swallowing the sun To force the beast to disgorge the sun witch doctors and other practitioners of such arts chanted and danced until the sun reappeared Scientists from Canada's National Research Council were in East Quoddy Novia Scotia 85 miles northwest of Halifax shortly before the eclipse moved out into the At-Ian ti From there they launched four 18-foot rockets into the upper atmosphere to send back data on the effects of the eclipse BY Asecciated Press A total eclipse of the sun sent a shadow 113 miles wide sweeping at 1000 mph Monday across a great arch of the Northern I letTliS ph ere from Japan to the Azores It was partially visible in most of the United States Those in the direct path watched the sky darken as at dusk saw stars appear and felt an evening-like drop in temperature The sun was encircled with a ring and as its light filtered through valleys at the edge of the moon prior to totality the phenomenon known as Bailey's Beads became visible The eclipse began at the Sakhalin Islands just north of Japan and its dark shadow moved across Siberia and Alaska through Canada and over the Atlantic to vanish south of the Azores Dusk struck the Alaska area about midmorning and University of Alaska scientists carried ()tit a series of rocket launchings designed to record data from the moon's passage between the sun and the earth An Air Force jet heavily laden with scientific gear took a team of astronomers to an Arctic Circle rendezvous with the fleeting eclipse From 39000 feet aloft the scientists hovered over their instruments during 225 seconds of total obscurity of the sun's rays In Salt Lake City the Hansen Planetarium blocked off a street and set up three telescopes These projected the 20 per cent eclipse visible there so viewers could see it without exposing their eyes to the dangerous direct rays Dr Franklin Branicy An 86 proof whiskey that's even soft enough to drink straight up If somebody else wants to make a whiskey that tastes as soft as Calvert
