-PITTSBURGH rOST-GAZETTEt FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 1972 No Pre-Conditions Set I Death Ban HE WANTS MORE MONEY FOR SPASSKY TILT Fischer Perils Title Chess Match Nixon Says U.S. Ready for Talks It REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Robby Fischer has made a last-minute demand for more money to play in the world chess championship against Russian Boris Spassky, informed sources said yesterday. They reported that the 29-year-old American challenger I A 1 i it (hr has sent an ultimatum to the Iceland Chess Federation "two or three days ago," saying he would not show up unless he got 30 per cent of the gate receipts on top of the unprecedented sums already guaranteed. Under the agreement Fischer and Spassky signed with the federation, the players will share a purse of $125,000, with the winner getting five-eighths of it. In addition it was agreed that they would each get 3 per cent of receipts from sales of television and film rights for the match.

Fischer canceled scheduled flights to Reykjavik Tuesday and Wednesday. This had led to speculation that he was waging a war of nerves with titleholder Spassky. The 24-game match Is due to start on Sunday in a sports palace where seats are sold for $5 a game. Since receiving Fischer's new demand, Icelandic Chess Federation officials have been in almost constant touch with Fred Cramer, a former president of the American Chess Federation, acting as Fischer's advance man, the informants said. Death Penalty Illegal, Supreme Court Rules 14 Single Yachtsmen Unreported LONDON (AP) Fourteen lone sailors in the transatlantic singlehanded sailing race have been neither seen nor heard from since they set out from Plymouth, England, 13 days ago, race organizers said today.

But the race sponsor, the Observer newspaper, said it is rot worried, though severe gales hit the fleet in the first three days of the race. "Every yacht has adequate safety equipment in case of emergencies which we would either have seen or heard if anyone had had trouble," said a spokesman at race headquarters. TWO AMERICAN entries are among the missing Three Cheers, sailed by Tom Follett of Miami, and Whisper, sailed by Jim Ferris from Dover, Mass. The leading U.S. competitor on his last reported position was Robert Lancy-Burns of Daufuskie, S.C., In his sloop Blue Gipsy.

On Sunday he was about 700 miles west of Plymouth and about a quarter of the way to the finish line at Newport, R.I. Scuffler III, sailed by Jerry CartwrlghtofSan Diego, has not been seen since leaving Falmouth, England, after repairs, on Tuesday. AND NOTHING has been heard of Trumpeter, the trimaran sailed by Philip Weld, president of Essex County newspapers in Beverly, since June 21 when he was about 150 miles from the start on his route. Mystery still surrounds the 1 1 1 of Sir Francis Chichester, 70-year-old ace navigator and winner of the first transatlantic race back in 1960.

(Continued from Page 1) In another 5 to 4 decision, the court held newsmen have constitutional privilege against being compelled to answer questions posed by a grand jury. Rejected were ar-g put by Paul M. Branzburg, an investigative for the Louisville Courier-Journal; Earl Caldwell, a New York Times re--porter and Paul Pappas of WTEV, New Bedford, Mass. White spoke for the majority Nixon administration appointees, as in the Gravel case.

Also before recessing until October, the court ruled 6 to 3 that former U. S. Sen. Daniel Brewster, can be prosecuted on charges that he accepted a bribe to influence his position on post office legislation. AND, IN ANOTHER 6 to 3 ruling, the court gave the Justice Department authority to BOBBY FISCHER Threatens not to show.

It was learned that the Icelandic federation wanted to avoid a rupture and was seeking a compromise. Officials were said to feel the federation could not afford any additional expenses. universities and conferences in the United States. The capital punishment decision, probably the biggest one of the 1970-72 term, was produced by five justices who took divergent views of the Eighth Amendment's prohibition against "cruel and unusual punishment." Justice William J. Brennan took the position the death penalty "does not comport with human dignity." Justice Thurgood Marshall found it "morally unacceptable" and "excessive." Justice William O.

Douglas said capital punishment is incompatible with notions of "equal protection" of the laws. The decisive votes were cast by Justices Stewart and White. Stewart said the death sentence is imposed upon "a capriciously selected random handful" of all defendants tried for- capital crimes. Wnite, meanwhile, said the death penalty is imposed so infrequently that it would be unconstitutional to allow the execution of the defendants who drew the sentence. There are currently 598 men and two women on death rows in 31 states and the District of Columbia.

Of these, 517 were convicted of murder, 79 of rape and four of armed robbery. The tally, prepared by Citizens Against Legalized Murder of New York City, shows 329 of the inmates are black, 257 are white, and 14 are of other racial or ethnic backgrounds. STEWART SAID the court would be presented with a somewhat different constitutional problem if a legislature, state or federal, specified that the penalty of death would be mandatory for everyone convicted of a certain crime. Dissenting with Burger and Powell were Harry A. Black-mun and William H.

Lauded At 'Jck' Casc By JOHN P. MOODY By JOHN P. MOODY Post-Gazette Staff Writer Lawyers for seven defendants in the sensational Yablon-ski murder case were jubilant yesterday over a U.S. Supreme Court ruling halting enforcement of present capital punishment laws. The attorneys said the high court's ban on the death penalty raises hopes those not yet tried in the case can be freed on bail and increases chances of new trials for two already convicted.

IN PHILADELPHIA, however, Richard A. special prosecutor, in the case, said he does not believe the decision is as sweeping as it is being interpreted by the news media. Jess D. Costa, Washington County district attorney, said if the death penalty is abandoned it could mean that others will not talk about the Yablonski case and some suspects may not be caught. So far, three persons have pleaded guilty to the Dec.

31, 1969, murders of Joseph A. Yablonski, a United Mine Workers officer, his wife and daughter. The state charged that the gunmen were paid $15,000. The guilty pleas were entered by Annette Gilly, of Cleveland; her father, Silous Huddleston, LaFollette, and Claude E. Vealey, of Cleveland.

Costa said they hoped to avoid the electric chair. Both Aubran W. Martin and Paul E. Gilly, Annette's husband, have been convicted and sentenced to death. STILL AWAITING trial are Albert E.

Pass, Middlesboro, and William J. Prater, LaFollette, Tenn. Both are officers in the UMW, as is Huddleston. Pass attorney, Harold Gon-dclman, said yesterday the high court decision appears to open the way for Pass to seek his release from jail on bond. He is charged with murder.

H. David Rothman, counsel for Prater, who also faces a murder charge, reportedly was considering similar action for his client. He was not available for comment. Mark Goldberg, legal counsel for Martin, said he feels the decision on the death penalty greatly increases Martin's chances for a new trial. A hearing is set for Wednesday on Martin's motion for a new trial.

SPRAGUE SAID he believes the Supreme Court ruling requires that the death penalty must be applied uniformly. Early reports from Wash ington, Sprague said, indicate that only if state laws permit the death sentence to be imposed at the discretion of a judge or jury is it illegal. If statutes make it mandatory that the death penalty be imposed for certain types of crimes, Sprague said, then it may still be legal. Sprague said he would withhold comment on how the decision relates to the Yablonski case until he has had an opportunity to read the entire decision. Hungary Rules Out Cafe's Bogus Veal BUDAPEST (AP) Four Hungarian master chefs are in the soup for treating pork with butter to make it taste like expensive veal.

They fooled gourmet patrons at Budapest's Astoria restaurant, but the state accused them of "business malpractice damaging to customers' interests." "THE INCREASE must be a responsible one," he added. Nixon was asked how he plans to bring unemployment down below 6 per cent. He said great strides have been made on the employment side and added that the rapid improvement of the economy "is going to reflect Itself" in bringing the unemployment rate down later in the year. He said no additional steps are contemplated to assist the economy but that present policies would be continued. He said the rate of inflation had been cut In half.

He said "we are continuing to explore other means" of I 1 down the unemployment rate from the current, unsatisfactory level. Nixon was asked about capital punishment and if it should be reinstated in the light of the Thursday decision by the Supreme Court lifting the penalty for 125 convicts who had appealed. Nixon said he tries to read opinions but could not read all nine. But he said he did read Chief Justice Warren Burger's end said he understood there were situations where capital punishhment could apply. Nixon said any punishment Is cruel and unhuman which takes the life of a man or woman.

But he said in cases like kidnaping and air hijacking, what "we're trying to do" is deter occurrences. He cited the Lindbergh law, and said he feels death is a good deterrent for capital crimes. As far as the court's decision is concerned, he said he does not think it necessarily applies to the specific federal crimes he mentioned, kidnaping and air piracy. He said the court's decision does not go that far. UN Money Reform Aim GENEVA (AP) The United States has called for drastic action to improve management in the United Nations, which it claimed is beset with "serious deficiencies" and waste of money and manpower.

U.S. Ambassador George Bush said yesterday there was "great need throughout the system for improved management, to prune out obsolete and unproductive activities and unproductive staff and to provide central executive leadership to compensate for disarray in some of the governing bodies" of U.N. agencies. Bush, who is chief American delegate to the world organization, warned that the United States, which last year contributed $460 million to U.N. operations totaling $1,230 million, "cannot be to the present state of affairs.

The United States already has served notice it will seek to reduce its share of the U.N. budget from more than 30 per cent to 25 per cent. Police Officers Ride On Recovered Bikes ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. (AP) At least five police officers bicycle their way through high crime areas in the city.

The bicycles are those recovered by police and never claimed by owners. FISHING WELL by Jimmy Jordan is a Friday feature in the P-G's sports section. (Continued from rage 1) on the assumption that the the North Vietnamese are prepared to negotiate in a constructive and a serious way," Nixon said. Nixon said keeping up the pressure by bombing activity, mining and the like would be the only way to give incentive for release of prisoners of war. Nixon said 15,000 French were never accounted for after the French Indochinese war and he would never allow that to happen to the American POWs.

Nixon was asked when he thought the South Vietnamese could realistically handle the war alone without substantial U. S. firepower. THAT QUESTION is being answered now, he replied, noting that on the ground the South Vietnamese are doing well. In the air, he added, 40 per cent of all tactical air battlefronts are now being handled by the South Vietnamese.

In response to a question, Nixon said bombing attacks on North Vietnam ordered by Gen. John Lavelle without authorization did not affect dip-1 a i negotiations with North Vietnam. He noted that the bombing was applied to military targets but added it was proper to relieve and demote him since the attacks had not been authorized. Asked about Pentagon requests for new weapons after his Moscow arms-control agreement, Nixon said "the problem in regards to arms control is that we do not deal with it in a vacuum." He said without the ABM arms-control agreement, and limited control of other weapons, he would have had to ask Congress for $15 billion a year more for nuclear weapons on a crash basis. He said Russia's plans had been for 1,000 ABM's, and to a total of 90 submarines, rather than their present 62.

In five years, under those circumstances, the United States would have been hopelessly behind, and its allies terrified, he said. The Moscow agreements "at least put on a brake" in regards to new weapons. "No president of the United States can take the responsibility of allowing the United States to become a second rate power," he said. NIXON SAID the new accords on arms are a first step toward peace, and we must go ahead with phase two of the negotiations which will be a permanent agreement on all new offensive weapons. Nixon also said he would tell the Republican presidential convention delegates his choice for vice president well before the Aug.

21 convention. As to the current vice president, Spiro T. Agnew, "I think he has done a fine job." Asked about a proposed 20 per cent Social Security Increase in Congress, Nixon said "There should be an Increase In Social Security" but that the problem of the 20 per cent increase proposed in the Sen ate is what it would do to the Social Security system and to Inflation. The increased payroll tax to pay for it would completely wipe out the tax cut of 1969, he said. "That's a question Congress has to address itself to," he said.

If Congress didn't boost the tax to pay for a 20 per cent hike in Social Security, it would jeopardize the Social Security trust fund, he said. GENERAL TO NAACP Reports; School Integration At Record Pace in '71 NEW YORK (AP) Desegregation of schools proceeded at a greater pace in 1971 than in any year since the historic 1954 Supreme Court desegregation decision but the progress came "in spite of frustrating maneuvers by the Nixon administration," the NAACP said in its annual report yesterday.

He predicted an increase In capital crimes, adding that "people will not be safe in the streets as they were before this effective deterrent was removed." Duggan's news conference deteriorated into a heated argument with one reporter who insisted that Duggan explain why abolition of capital punishment will lead to an increase in homicides. "I have a gut feeling that it will happen," said the D.A. "Why not just burn people at the stake?" pressed the newsman.

"I don't care how it's done," said Duggan. Both Duggan and Mac-Lennan said the decision will have an adverse effect on the morale of law enforcement officers and suggested the decision will probably lead to an increase in the murder of police officers. "THIS CONSTITUTION of ours is about 200 years old," said the angry FBI chief, "and capital punishment has always been held to be constitutional. What's so different now?"
