Carr said a prime responsibility of the new board would be "to ensure that the transfer of the passport holders does not impose an excessive strain on community relations or on housing, schools and other facilities." At the same time, he made it clear that the newcomers will have "total freedom" to settle where they wish. He said the government would use "persuasion, but not direction" to steer them to those few communities in Britain that have vacant housing and empty school seats.

At their trial, the two Croats, members of the rightwing Ustasha movement, said they had planned to kidnap Rolovic to win freedom for nine Croats imprisoned in Belgrade, but killed the ambassador when he fought back.

Fischer Edges Closer To World Chess Title chess title he has eyed for nearly 20 years with a draw Friday in the resumed 15th game against Boris Spassky, the world champion. 30 Seconds The draw came less than 30 seconds after play resumed in the game that was adjourned Thursday after 40 moves. The U.S. challenger now leads the Soviet champion, 9-6, and needs only more points to take the title. As champion, Spassky needs six more points to keep his crown.

Fischer played for a draw, which is a half point, instead of the point for a win. Some experts expressed belief he might have found a way to win the match. Spassky was in check when the game adjourned Thursday. His next move. sealed and opened Friday by referee Lothar Schmid, moved him out of check.

Fischer twice more gave check. After his 43rd move, Fischer gave Spassky his hand. The champion, though badly in need of a win to bolster his sagging chances, accepted it. Fischer raced away, Spassky remained seated at the board, fiddling with the picces, his eight white ones and the six black ones of Fischer. Crestfallen Schmid walked across and escorted the crestfallen champion away.
