Therefore, the trial was not in accordance with the due process of law. "I want a declaration from the court saying the trial he got was contrary to justice and that the trial was used as a hoax to get him executed.

We are ashamed of the trial he got. It is a grave miscarriage of justice that the Jews have been carrying for 2,000 years." David, a bachelor born in Jerusalem and educated in London, argued his case for 90 minutes in behalf of his client, David Bitan, an Orthodox Jewish immigrant from France with six children.

Go down a street, find out the needs of the people, and come back to your community to supply those needs. Instead of donating old clothes, which the people don't really want, find out whatthe needs really are." The town of Johnstown in western Pennsylvania, knew all about needs after a flood. The people, many of them relatives of victims of the tragic Johnstown Flood of 1889, have contributed more than 85 tons of food, supplies and medicine to Wilkes-Barre.

A half-mile long convoy of trucks snaked through the mountains from Johnstown to Wilkes-Barre Thursday, where the food was taken to disaster centers throughout the Wyoming Valley.

"Towns, villages, municipalities, every place should pick a ruined town and adopt a street." The group from New Windsor was prepared to scrub mud from the dozens of homes inundated by the river. They and some volunteers from Cornwall, N.Y, carried squeegies and mops to help clean up the mud. "Don't get me wrong," Cauley said late Thursday. "Everyone is doing a fantastic job. The National Guard, Civil Defense, Red Cross, State Police, all of them.

But there's just not Lakewood Park, it was an ordeal just to reach the Bavarian Festival on Sunday. Traffic was backed up for miles on either side, and borough officials in Tamaqua saw their town literally jammed with through traffic. As popular as the Festival has proven to be, it could develop an unfavorable image if the traffic situation is not improved. People, myself included, simply will not put up with bumper-to-bumper traffic moving at a snail's pace on a hot summer day. They will go elsewhere for recreation and enjoyment." Tamaqua borough officials, the Chamber of Commerce and other interested individuals and groups had hoped to get a bypass approved this year by state officials but were not successful.

They plan a renewed effort since the need for a by-pass grows more acute each year. REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) After two weeks of behind-fhe-scene diplomacy and much talking, Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky have agreed to get down to their real business playing chess. The match for the world title now held by the 35-year-old Russian will begin Tuesday in the Icelandic capital. The winner gets $150,000 and the loser $100,000. Spassky, a handsome Leningrad journalist who makes a living playing chess the year around, will make the first move.

He won the draw Thursday night and will play white, meaning he will make the first move. The 29-year-old American will play black in the first game. In succeeding games they alternate. Despite the charges and countercharges exchanged between the two camps there was no sign of personal animosity between the two. Applause Exchanged When Spassky was introduced at the draw, Fischer applauded.

And when the challenger, dressed in a green suit and red tie, was presented, Spassky gave him a big hand. As they shook hands at the end of the ceremony, Spassky held on to Fischer's hand and said, "And good luck." TEL AVIV (UPD-Jesus Christ faced his accusers nearly 2,000 years ago and said nothing, the Bible says. Now, an Orthodox Jew wants a court in the city where Jesus was condemned to death to speak up and exonerate Christ of all charges. Lawyer Itzhak David, 36, an Orthodox Jew, failed in his first attempt. But he said he will try again.

In Jerusalem, where it all happened, the supreme court Thursday rejected David's application of declaratory judgment to exonerate Jesus of all the charges brought against him. It argued that his conviction and crucifixion is a matter of history and not something for a modern court to decide. The court said Jesus reputedly had been sentenced to death by the Roman governor of Judea, Pontius Pilate, and that it was equivalent to a sentence handed down a foreign military tribunal. Therefore, the court said, there was no reason for present-day judicial authorities to take up the matter. "I am not interested in whether Jesus Christ was guilty or innocent of the charges brought against him," David said in an interview.

"I want a hearing on how the trial was conducted. "Jesus was sentenced by a Roman court and it was Promoted ROBERTS. BEVAN Gilberton native Robert S.

Tradition says Jesus was sentenced to death on charges of blasphemy for declaring himself king of the Jews. It has been a matter of dispute whether the Jews assisted Pilate in condemning Jesus to the cross. The Vatican Ecumenical Council said in October, 1965, that Jewish authorities "and those who followed their lead pressed for the death of Christ. Still, what's happened in his passion cannot be blamed on all the Jews then living, without distinction, nor upon all the Jews of today." The ceremony confirmed that all the problems that delayed the match for nine days finally had been settled. It began with Fischer refusing to come to Iceland for the originally scheduled start July 2 because he was not happy with the financial terms.

Jim Slater, a wealthy British banker, saved the match when he offered to double the prize money from $125,000 to $250,000. Fischer finally turned up Julv 4 but by then, Spassky was upset and threatened to pull out. He first demanded that Fischer forfeit the first game, then asked for an apology from the American and finally asked Dr. Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), to admit that he violated the rules when he postponed the match in Fischer's absence instead of disqualifying the American. Euwe Admits Mistake Euwe, himself a former world champion and the last non-Russian to hold the title, promptly penned a declaration admitting that he had made a mistake.

Thursday, Fischer broke the ice when he wrote a letter to "Dear Boris" apologizing for his "disrespectful behavior." Fischer admitted he had "offended you and your country, the Soviet Union." Transportation and six individuals. The individuals were former PennDOT secretary Victor W. Anckaitis; Lester E. Jordan, PennDOT District 5 engineer in Allentown; his deputy, Charles C. Sincavage; William J.

Davis; District 5 investigative chief; Robert Brown, District 5 assistant engineer, and Edwin Reiker, commonwealth director of public safety. the suit asked damages "in excess of $10,000" for each of the passengers. This suit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania last July. Those bringing suit contended Pennsylvania had waived its immunity from prosecution by participating in the Federal Highways Aid Act.

Troutman disagreed. He said two U.S. Supreme Court decisions on this matter didn't apply in this situation. Further, the judge dismissed the PennDOT officials as defendants. From hundreds of other towns in the state, similar contributions have made their way to Wilkes-Barre.

Two breweries donated 200,000 cans of fresh water, and many supermarkets and chain stores donated trucks and other equipment. Sen. Hugh Scott, was to tour the area today to determine "how the federal government can provide more aid." "I am determined to see the area firsthand and we'll prepare a report to President Nixon on what more can be done by the federal government," Scott said.

Court suit over crash is dropped Lack of a traffic by-pass around Tamaqua may be the most serious obstacle to the growing tourist industry in the eastern end of Schuylkill County, according to Pat Canfield, president of the Schuylkill County Tourist Promotion Agency. Over the weekend one of the area's worst traffic congestions developed along major and minor highways. Canfield said, "our newest and most promising tourist attractions were seriously hampered by traffic conditions. People simply couldn't get to the Bavarian Festival and nearby state parks in spite of an all-out effort to handle the problem. "People in the Tamaqua area have been fighting long and hard for a by-pass, and the congestion of last Sunday, in particular, should certainly convince state officials of the urgent need for such a by-pass.

So far they have been fighting a losing battle. We'll just have to get together, all of us, and push harder and harder for this by-pass if we want to see Schuylkill County continue its progress in this field." Canfield operates the Rosemount Camping Resort in Tamaqua R. D. 1, one of the many camping facilities in Schuylkill County which reported capacity or near capacity business over the big weekend.

Two 1971 damage suits against the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, based on a bus accident at New Smithville, on July 15, 1970, have been thrown out of court by Federal Judge E. MacTroutman, at Philadelphia. The decision was based on the 11th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, that a state can't be sued in federal court unless it gives its consent. The bus accident took the lives of seven children and injured 52 other persons.

The bus was on an excursion from Hillel Country Day School at Lawrence, N.Y., to the Amish country of central Pennsylvania. Troutman's decision in these two cases indicates that at least two similar new suits, filed only last week, will also be thrown out soon for the same reason. One of the 1971 cases was brought by bus driver Hubert Daye, bus company owner Frank Tedesco, the Tedesco Bus of Bayonne, N.J. and Academy Charter Service. It was a class action in behalf of the passengers against the state, the Department of Beach repairs.

Eighty-five tons of sand for Shenandoah's Sandy Beach was delivered Tuesday to await grading after recent flooding almost washed away beach when waters flowed over breast. Entire park area is rock and debris strewn. Recreation authority is still in process of estimating damages there. (Grodzki photo)..
