Fischer sleeps; Spassky fumes
REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI)
—The future of the world chess
championship once more is in
doubt, this time because Soviet
titleholder Boris Spassky wants
American challenger Bobby
Fischer punished for his
behavior.
The 24-game championship
match was scheduled to start
Sunday, but Fischer, a 29-year
old chess genius from Brooklyn,
failed to turn up, mostly
because he wanted more money
than the $125,000 purse put up
by the organizers.

MEMORIAL DRIVE- GRIFFIN
British millionaire banker—and
chess fan—dug into his own
pocket to offer another $125,000.
Fischer was on the next plane
to Reykjavik and arrived
Tuesday morning, where he
quickly left the airport not to
be seen since.
Came the draw Tuesday to
see who would play white for
the first game and Fischer was
asleep. So he sent his second,
while Spassky was there in
person. The world champion,
35, apparently decided he had
had enough of Fischer’s antics
and issued a statement that
said:
“Fischer broke the rules of
holding the contest by refusing
to come for the ceremony of
opening the match. By this,
Fischer insulted me, personal
ly, and the Chess Federation of
the U.S.S.R., which I re
present.”
He added that since Fischer
had broken the rules he “must
bear the just punishment before
there is a hope of holding the
match. Only after this can I
return to the question about the
possibility of holding the
match.”
He also demanded a personal
apology.
Fischer’s lawyer, Paul Mar
shall, and his second, Father
William Lombardy, were op
timistic.
“We are hopeful we will be
able to solve our differences
with the Russians,” said
Marshall after a 2%-hour
session with Spassky’s advisers
Tuesday night.
Marshall said he and Father
Lombardy, a burly Catholic
priest and international chess
grand master, will sit down
again with the Russians today
to try to solve the problems.
“We are making progress,”
Father Lombardy said.

How Georgia celebrated
By United Press International
It was a Fourth of July to
remember in Georgia.
There were parades, fire
works, beauty pageants, politi
cal rallies, and even a craw
dad race.
The largest of the parades
Tuesday was in Atlanta, where
the annual “Salute to Ameri
ca” parade was billed as the

nation’s largest for Independ
ence Day.
Parades were also the order
of the day in several Georgia
towns, including Marietta, Dou
glasville, Cumming and Col
bert.
The most unusual parade,
however, was in Hanarry Es
tates subdivision near Lilburn
where approximately 100 chil
dren, ages eight months to 12,
entertained their parents. The
youngsters decorated and rode
bicycles, tricycles, scooters,
fire engines, pedal tractors, and
trollers along a three-mile
route.
In Helen, Ga., there was a
300-millimeter race for craw
fish, and a 600-millimeter en
durance race for turtles.
Georgia’s skies glowed in a
big way at many locations as
large crowds gathered to see
fireworks exhibitions. Two of
the largest were at Stone Moun
tain and at Atlanta Stadium,
between games of a Braves vs
Chicago Cubs doubleheader.
Most of the political rallies
were in the Atlanta area. For
mer Gov. Ernest Vandiver
charged again that Sen. David
Gambrell’s votes showed he
wanted to make “America a
second or third-rate leader in
aerospace.”
That speech came at an all
day affair in Marietta, which
had every characteristic of the
old-fashioned political rally, in
cluding the barbecue.
