AP— A bill that would prohibit topless waitresses and entertainers in businesses with mixed beverages or brown-bagging permits was filed in the N.C. House Tuesday bv Rep. A. Hartwell Campbell, D-Wilson. The bill would prohibit waitresses, female entertainers, or any other women from baring their breasts on the premises of such establishments. Campbell's bill was one of two he filed for introduction yesterday dealing with the state's new liquor-by-the-drink law. The second measure would clarify the definition of a social club under state law. The bill would allow the state Board of Alocholic Control to set a waiting period for members of social clubs of less than 30 days.

After having a member of the audience hide the check while he was not in the auditorium, Kreskin led the person who had hidden the check to the balcony, promptly finding the check in less than five minutes, rhe cluck was concealed in the breast pocket of a coat worn by a member of the audience. During the performance, Kreskin told of a challenge soon to be announced at a world wide press conference. Kreskin wishes to play a chess match simultaneously with both Bobby Fisher and Anatolv Karpov, Russian World Press Champion. During the match, Kreskin will be blindfolded and will have an assistant move his pieces as Kreskin so indicates. Kreskin will not be informed of the opponents' moves, but will be reading their thoughts, play one against the other as he mentally sees the moves each anticipates making. Another challenge made by Kreskin is the promise to pay $20,000 to anyone who can prove to him that hypnosis is possible. He strongly insists hypnosis is not possible. Kreskin, who did 613 performances around the world last year, says of his work, "I love it!" Yet he finds it exhausting. Immediately following the show. Kreskin requires to be alone in order to unwind, as he did last night before returning to the auditorium for a brief interview with interested persons. In the interview Kreskin was asked what he did to prepare for his shows. He replied, "I walk a mile or so." He indicated that to do so clears his mind of any anxiety. He stressed the importance that his mind be clear of all worries before he enters sta^e.
