Clyde Atkins temporarily enjoined the City of Miami Beach from enforcing a parade control law attacked in court by those planning demonstrations during the political conventions.

The judge gave the city 10 days to file a memorandum before he issues a ruling on whether the newly passed ordinance is constitutional. Atkins said he had confidence in police chief Rocky ability to enforce the law wisely, but added, are a government of laws and not of He said the ordinance failed to define a parade in terms of minimum number of participants and failed to delineate' standards for appellate review. The ruling came in response to a suit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union in behalf of leaders of several groups planning parades during the July 10-14 Democratic National Convention and the Aug. 21-24 Republican Convention, The passed ordinance required groups wishing to parade to first obtain a permit from the Police Department. The permit had to be applied for 15 days prior to the parade.

However, Pomerance was empowered to waive the 15-day requirement. He did so last week when the Youth International Party (Yip- pies) was granted a permit only hours before some 75 persons marched up Meridian Avenue with Miami Beach Mayor Chuck Hall in the front ranks during the first few blocks. Air Tax Revolt WASHINGTON (AP) Newly devised taxes on air passengers went into effect over the weekend at five airports, but thousands of travelers refused to pay the new fees. The collection of the new municipal head taxes, and the requirement that hold-out passengers fill out refusal forms, resulted in massivp delays at the major airport involved, Philadelphia. The City of Brotherly Love has imposed the stiffest charge of any yet levied or $2 per person for all air travelers arriving at the airport as well as for all of those departing.

There was less difficulty initially at the other airports with lighter traffic and with a more modest $1 fee for departing passengers only: Richmond, a Sarasota-Brandenton, Huntsville, and Tri- City Airport at Saginaw, Mich.

Daley Plan Appeals Continue Delegate Fights WASHINGTON (AP) A U.S. District Court Mondijy refused to enter the dispute over the alloting of California delegates to the Demoratic National Convention. While the candidates relaxed, forces of George McGovern asked Judge George L. Hart Jr.

Mitskie of Maine was in his home state at Ken- nehunkport. That left the Democratic political stage to the court case anH the continuing Credentials Committee proceedings in Washington. The credentials panel still was plowing through a record array of challenges to the seating of delegates at the Democratic National Convention which opens at Miami Beach July 10. McGovern held a runaway lead in delegate strength. The California credentials battle, in court and later on the convention floor, is likely to determine whether he can convert it into a first-ballot nominating majority.

That would take 1,509 votes. The Associated Press count of delegate strength Monday put McGovern at 1,281.9. Humphrey had 498 55, Gov. George C. Wallace of Alabama 381, Muskie 225.55.

There were 454.4 uncommitted delegates. The court test stemmed from the decision of the Credentials Committee to deprive McGovern of at least 151 of the California nominating votes he captured in a winner-take-all primary. The committee ruled that McGovern should have no more t.ban 120, and possibly as few as 118, on the basis of his plurality in the June 6 primary. (Turn To Page Sbc) (See Report Bobby Fischer Ready To Meet Spassky REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Bobby F'ischer accepted a offer of a pot for the world championship chess match and Monday night flew out of New York toward his confrontation with Soviet titleholder Boris Spassky. Paul Marshall, a lawyer in New York for Fischer, said the 29-year-old American challenger had accepted banker James offer of the extra prize money and would be in Reykjavik by the Tuesday noon deadline.

Earlier Monday, the sponsors of the championship match turned down bid for a cut of the gate receipts in addition to the prize money previously agreed on. Marshall quoted Fischer as saying of proposal: gotta accept it. a stupendous He said Fischer considered the gesture and generous and Slater said in London he received confirmation of acceptance by telephone and had been told the challenger planned to fly to Reykjavik. Fischer miLst arrive in Reykjavik by noon a.m. forfeit his chance at Spassky and the title.

The first game is to begin at 5 p.m. p.m. from the same time Sunday at request. The Russians protested the granting of the postponement by the the World Chess When Slater offered to put up his own money as an extra inducement to the American grandmaster, he stated: has said that money is the problem. Here it is.

What I am saying to Fischer now is out and Marshall claimed that the issue with Fischer never had been money. was the Marshall said. felt Iceland treating this match or his countrymen with the dignity that it and they deserved. And he was furious about the press censorship. He was flying around the The sponsors announced restrictions in move-by-move and photo coverage of the 24-game match because the rights had been sold.

Slater made his offer after the Icelandic Chess board rejected for 30 per cent of the gate receipts. This would have amounted to considerable sums for both Fischer and Spassky because the match could last as long as two months. The original terms call for the winner to receive $78,125 and the loser $46,875, plus 30 per cent for each of the income from sale of television and photographic rights. private enrichment of the pot could be used to up the prize to $156,000, with the remainder of his funds going to boost the share. He said another alternative would be to add the entire $130,000 to the cut for a total of $208,125.

Protestant Militants Back Down Before British Muscle (AP) Seven thousand club-wielding Protestant militants bent on sealing off one of their Belfast strongholds backed down Monday night before a massive display of British military muscle. The Pi'otestants barricaded off three other areas earlier in the day, hut the British drew the line when the masked army on the fourth. Gen. Robert Ford, commander of British forces in Northern Ireland, said, have now IU I back from the when Protestant ranks aimed with cudgels and iron bars gave way in the tense confrontation. The British display iH'fore irregulars of the Ulster Defi'nse AssiK'iation was one of the strongest in some time in the violence-torn six counties of Northern Ireland.

Several hundred fully armed soldiers were involved, supported by armored troop carriers, armored cars, jei'ps and heavy trucks. The confrontation lasted four hours. With tlie contenders lined up within yards of each other, it threatened to develop info a major battle. The immediate issue was the determination of Protestant imlitants to build a bari i- eade across Aiasworth Avenue in Belfast and extend the areas they have been steadily building in the capital. The army denied permission on the grounds the harrier uould cut off a Roman Catholic tnielave of alxiut 20 families.

More troops were rushed into the until an estimated 600 men were in position, with reserves in readines.s.

While the confrontation was going on, police headquarters announced the 399th known fatality in three years of turmoil. A bullet-riddled body was found beside a road at Coalis- Ipd. County The victim was the eighth in a weekend of intense activity by sectarian execution squads. When the Protestant army set up the three areas earlier Monday, its leaders threatened instant retaliation if their kidnaped folk hero, Gusty Spence, was harmed. The militant Spence is serving a life sentence for murder and was snatched Sunday night while on a brief parole.

Barricades of steel spikes cemented into the roadway ringed three Protestant areas, housing some people along Shankill Road, Wuodvale and Oldpark. They were manned at key points by uniformed volunteers of the Ulster Defense Association, the Protestant army which has mushroomed throughout Northern Ireland over the past four weeks. Outside the barricades, police were keeping an eye open for Gusty Spence, convicted murderer and Shankill hero who was kidnaped Sunday night while on parole from jail to attend his wedding. They admitted they hold little hope of finding him, Spence, 39, is the former head of the Ulster Volunteer a banned Protestant counterpart to the IRA. He was jailed for life in 1966 for the murder of a Catholic barman.

His kidnaping immediately evoked two theories: Either Gusty had been by hi, own side and was safe and well behind the barricades, or he had been captured by the IRA, in which case his life expectancy would be short. A spokesman at UDA headquarters emphatically denied that his organization was behind the liberation. Percy And Pucinski Hold Second Debate CHARLESTON, 111. (AP) Sen. Charles H.
