When Kasparov moved, it produced an audible release of tension in the hall and a frenzy of activity among the chess experts waiting in a back room equipped with chessboards. . The young chess genius simply stood and quickly left the stage. Kasparov's approach to the game, a departure from the brisk style he has often displayed, reflected the care with which he is handling the latest and easily the most important match of his career. Kasparov and Smyslov have played three games. Kasparov won one and the others were draws. They will play for as long as 50 days in the hall of the former bishop's place of Vilnius, now called the Palace of Workers of Art. ‘The winner will challenge champion Anatoly Karpov for a world title that has been held by Soviet grandmasters in a string broken only once since 1948 by the 1972-75 reign of Bobby Fischer of the United States. In some ways, the match reflects the Soviet domination of world chess, although organizers have tried to give it an international atmosphere that included a brief appearance on opening day by Florencio Campomanes, International Chess Federation chief. personality and style as they are in age. Smyslov, 62, became a grandmaster 44 years ago and held the world title in 1967 and 1968. Silver-haired and elegant in British tweeds, Smysiov strolls in a nearby pine wood to relax. He is a professional baritone with a commanding stage presence even when he simply sits at the chess table. Kasparov has been among the top echelon of chess players about three years and is considered the world's most brilliant young player. He usually unwinds by running. But Kasparov is a native of the southern Republic of Azerbaijan and chill of this Baltic republic capital has kept him indoors. Kasparov's mother said her son plays “fighting chess,” and Smyslov’s wife, Nadezhda, called her husband's opponent an “expansive, young man always ready to do battle.” Apart from chess, the driving force in his live is his dymanic, ebullient mother. She attends all of Kasparov's big matches, refusing to leave the hall even for a moment “because I'm too superstitious.” “Every man has a shadow,” she said. “As a mother, I understand best of all what he needs in all situations.” With a broad smile, she said she also restrains Kasparov: “He always needs an opponent: I am his opponent.” School for VANCOUVER (CP) — Nona Thompson wipes a tear away as she recounts the fate of her first student. “The first kid I ever taught to read was Grace. She had learning disabilities. We were going to Kamloops High and she didn’t have the right clothes to wear. The night before she would have gone to start school, she committed suicide. “I guess from that day I did my thing.” A trim, energetic middle-age woman, ‘Thompson's teaching career has taken her from the public school system and tutoring learning-disabled children at home while raising her two sons to running a unique school for children “no one else can deal with.” ‘Thompson is the force behind Step-up school — a pro- gram that teaches juvenile delinquents reading, writing and arithmetic. BEGAN IN WAGER Step-up had its beginnings in a wager with then open-line radio show moderator Jack Webster in 1972. Street children had become a highly visible problem in after pi ial juvenile i facilities or schools were closed in 1969. “] said: Jack, those kids you're talking about, the child prostitutes, they're kids who want to be in school. They want to be like everyone else. They want a school that looks like a school, they want a teacher who looks like a teacher.” Webster challenged her and the wager was on. “I said 500 bucks, Jack, and a bottle of scotch. And I went on to prove it.” When Thompson gave a talk on Jearning-disabled children, probation officer Bernie Agg was in the audience. He was starting a program for juvenile delinquents, asked Thompson for her help, and that led to her first “hard-core” student. CLAIMS SUCCESS From those beginnings, what Thompson ealls the most successful program in North America evolved. From 1975 to April 1983, Step-up graduated 253 students. “We're the one place kids can come where they feel accepted. You never get kicked out of this program. We make no judgments on you or your family or whatever's happened to you. We're just normal, ordinary people doing normal, ordinary things. “We're not social workers, child care workers, anything else — we're teachers. We teach kids how to read, write and do arithmetic.” Sarah, 16, had been out of school for most of the previous three years when she began the Step-up program in September. “Actually, I really enjoyed it because for three years I was doing nothing. I had the occasional waitressing job and stuff like that. I really liked writing and I used to do a lot. When I got back I had pages that I could actually fill with words.” IN FOSTER HOMES Sarah, who lives in a foster home, is one of about 20 stu- dents who attends the 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. program in a portable building owned by the Vancouver school board. Each student works at his own speed, in a high-sided study area which affords some privacy. There is no high-priced computer equipment, no science labs and no gymnasium, although students do take part in sporting events organized by other schools.

Ansgpmb Vv. ‘Atecomb elinquents There is one teacher to every four students and they ignore the uncontrollable things in the children’s private lives. “All I can control is what happens here,” says Thompson. “And it better be the best two hours that kid ever had in his life.” SEVEN ON STAFF In addition to managing a staff of seven — two teachers, two teaching assii two pr i i and a sec- retary — Thompson greets an average of three visitors a day. Brimming with enthusiasm, she says she is working up to 20 hours a day. WANETA PLAZA HIGHWAY 3 TRAIL ' S. hi gh-tech weapon theft: went to Russia WASHINGTON (AP) — Eight containers of U.S. made high technology equip- ment critical to weapons sys. tems “were apparently suc cessfully diverted” to the Soviet Union, says a top U.S. customs investigator. William Rudman, director of the strategic investiga tions division of the Customs Service, told the Senate banking committee Monday that he is not sure where the equipment is, but assumes it to be in an East bloc country. The equipment, most of it manufactured by Digital Equipment Corp. of May nard, Mass., is used to make semi-conductors crucial in missile technology. Seven other containers, ineluding a highly sophisti cated Digital Equipment VAX 11-782 computer, were recovered by the West Ger. man Customs Service on board a ship bound for a freight forwarder in Sweden. A warrant allowing the seiz ure was issued only seven minutes before the ship was set to sail. The forwarding company was operated by Richard Mueller, described by Rud man as “a customs fugitive long known to be engaged in illegal U.S.-origin technology transfers to the Soviets.” Rudman said “significant quantities of strategic com modities in addition to the VAX computer” were found in the seven seized con- tainers. If the eight other contain- ers did reach the Soviet Union, “the Soviets may have gained five years in terms of research and other savings in resource development in computer technology, data communication, computer software and integrated cir- cuit technology,” said Dr. Stephen Bryen, deputy as- sistant secretary of defence. He told the committee “successful illegal exports could be saving the Soviets more than a $1 billion a year in research and develop- ment.” Bryen said the VAX case alone could save the Soviets $80 million a year for the next decade. He did not say how the estimates were ar- rived at. Rudman also testified that a subsequent trace of all VAX systems led customs to recently develop “reliable information that one of the VAX 11-782 systems was successfully diverted to the Soviet Union.” He said that matter was still under investigation and he could say only that the Mueller organization was in- volved in diverting the equip- ment through Western Eur- ope. Our Action Ad Phone Number is 365-2212 PRU, PERLE ney mer (AP) — Glacier National Park officials say fewer than 10 bighorn sheep have been found dead from a pneu- monia-like disease called pas- teurellosis. One year ago, the illness killed sheep on both sides of the Continental Divide in British Columbia and Al berta. Gary Gregory. a park re source manager, said that a dead sheep hasn't been found since early February, and park officials speculate that the disease may be subsiding. The disease was also found in herds west of Choteau and Augusta. About 30 sheep have been found dead by Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks officials in Mon. ) NOTICE FOR THE SAKE OF THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN If a school bus is stopped on the high- © way with red lights: flashing ALL motorists from EITHER DIRECTION MUST STOP and must not proceed un- til the red lights stop flashing.
