Russian officials said Spassky would be back tomorrow, at the Fred Cramer, vice-president of the U.S. Chess Federation, said the arrangements although "far superior to anything we have seen before" could cause some problems. "But they are not important enough to wreck the match." he said. Cramer said Fischer was "absolutely relaxed and feeling great." Fischer along, but the American turned down the invitation to observe his Church of God's sabbath from Friday night until Saturday night. Before leaving, Spassky said he was not going to argue about the practical arrangements or the picking of sets and boards.

"I will leave that to Bobby-it makes no difference to me," the 35-year-old would return Thursday. He said he was leaving because one of his sons had been injured in a traffic accident. Schmid's assistant arbiter, Gudmundur Arnlaugsson Iceland, will be in charge of final preparations, which include the touchy job of picking the chess sets and board to be used.

aSiJ YEAR Xl HICKORY TAVERN ml Saigon commanders said their troops had recaptured two-thirds of Quang Tri City, South Vietnam's northernmost provincial capital 432 miles north of Saigon. But they maintained the city would not be theirs until the Communists were routed from the 19th Century citadel. In the air war over North Vietnam, the United States Command reported the loss of three more F-4 Phantom jets two of them shot down by MIG-21s Wednesday and listed all six crewmen as missing. AT LEAST 58American warplanes have been lost over the North since President Nixon ordered resumption of the bombing April 6, and 67 airmen are listed as missing. The U.S.

Command said in a communique that Air Force, Navy and Marine jets had flown 240 strikes against North Vietnam during the previous 24-hour reporting period. One of the primary targets was a major transship- attack on the facility. THE U.S. command said the paratroopers in Quang Tri City got help from eight waves of B-52 heavy bombers and 100 jet fighter-bombers that pounded Communist positions outside the city. The command said B-52s had dropped a total of 9,075 tons of explosives on suspected Communist positions near Quang Tri City in the last 10 days.

Military spokesmen said the South Vietnamese reconnaissance unit that tried to scout the citadel in Quang Tri City made its way to the fortress' thick stone walls with no opposition, but then was spotted by North Vietnamese inside who forced it back with heavy gunfire.

Moorer, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in an interview. Moorer said the South Vietnamese army has been "putting on a pretty solid performance" in the 14-week-old enemy offensive showing itself to be "more and more offensive-minded." But the nation's top military chief said, "I don't want to create a feeling of euphoria. "THE NORTH Vietnamese can probably mount a very heavy attack, if they choose to do so," Moorer said.

"I don't think they could seize Hue," Moorer said, in voicing doubts that the North Vietnamese could carry on in the future operations on the scale that marked the early stages of their push which began March 30. think the only large battles we will see in the next few months will be a North Vietnamese effort to blunt the South Vietnamese offensive," Moorer said. Washington (AP) Top Defense Department officials 1 believe the North Vietnamese army, though battered and bled in its spring offensive, 1 will make one more effort to score a big victory before the United States presidential elec-tion. That is why there is a restrained tone to their public assessments of the battlefield situation in Vietnam, where the South Vietnamese army is doing much better than many officials expected.
