Iceland AP Bobby Fischer today was reported threatening to break qU his world championship chess match with Boris Spassky unless all movie cameras are removed from the playing hall.

"It's quite serious. He may not play at all -said a member of Fischer's entourage who asked not to be identified. Fischer was scheduled to meet the world champion from the Soviet Union later today at 1 p.m. EDT for the second game of their 24-game match The American challenger lost the first game Wednesday night Fischer staged a 30-minute walkout shortly after the play began Wednesday, complaining that a movie camera 150 feet away was making him nervous The camera was hardly visible Calley flown under guard to visit ill father FT. BENNIN'G.

Ga. (AP) Lt. William L. Calley accompanied by guards, flew today by military transport to Gainesville, Fla. to visit his seriously ill father.

This was only the second time that the lieutenant, under house arrest since his conviction in March 1971 for the killing of 22 civilians at My Lai, has left Ft. Benning. During the trial of his former commanding officer. CaDt. Ernest Medina, Calley was flown to Ft.

McPherson, but was not called to testify. Calley's father has been seriously ill for some time, and the lieutenant requested to visit him. in the dimness outside the lighted players' circle, and it could not be heard by Fischer, but aides said the knowledge of its presence unnerved him. Chief referee Lothar Schmid of West Germany, who makes the decisions on all contested points in connection with the match, told Fischer during his walkout there was nothing he could do about the camera. Film and television rights for the match have been sold to an American promoter, and Fischer and Spassky are to get a share of the proceeds, estimated at a minimum of $27,500 each.

"It's up to Lothar Schmid whether Bobby plays." one of Fischer's advisers said today. Contacted at his notet. Schmid said: "There will be a match tonight. If Fischer doesn't appear, he will take the consequences." A member of Fischer's camp said the "legal aspects are being studied." Richard Stein, a lawyer for the promoter who bought the TV and film rights, Chester Fox, said he was up all night with Fischer's second, the Rev. William Lombardv.

and Fred Cramer of the U.S. Chess Federation. Stein said that at one point Fischer walked in on the meeting, listened for a few minutes and then in a few sentences indicated he was adamant about expelling the cameras. Then he went to bed. In agreement with Lombardy and Cramer, Stein wrote Fischer a letter at 5 o'clock this morning appealing to the challenger to accept the presence of the cameras and go on playing.

"I hope the letter will move him." Stein said. Schmid said he was prepared to invoke two rules of the match against Fischer. Two blacks held on arms charge LOSE 20 POUNDS IN TWO WEEKS! Famous U.S. Women Ski Team Diet MRS. McGOVERN WAVES TO DELEGATES after husband captures nomination Mrs.
