BIGGS SAID the program would cost about $1.75 billion to pay half a million families taking advantage of the oiif an amount be less than one-twentieth the cost of keeping the war active in Vietnam. National Neighbors is a federation of 50 community organizations including Belmont Hillsboro Neighbors, from multi-racial neighborhoods in 22 states.

Each member group is asked to send two delegates, not of the same race. The equally divided black and white delegation voted this year to make an effort to recruit community organizations from neighborhoods made up of whites and other minorities, such as Chi-canos, Puerto Ricans, American Indians and Cubans. Residents of interracial neighborhoods from 36 cities, including Nashville, met recently in Baltimore to discuss methods of protecting their neighborhoods from exploitation, apathy and threat of decay. Gene TeSelle and James Merritt of Belmont-HilLsboro Neighbors attended from Nashville. TeSelle was elected to the National Neighbors board of directors.

DELEGATES TO the national conference responded enthusiastically to a proposal by the staff director of the United States Commission on Civil Rights that multiracial living be subsidized. John Buggs, director of the federal civil rights agency, said, "We're not winning. We're losing the fight against spreading ghettos." He proposed that the federal government pay white families J1.000 for moving into neighborhoods with 15 to 20 black populations and black families the same amount for moving into neighborhoods with 8 to 10 black populations. He said his plan would pay increasing subsidies to families entering neighborhoods less integrated, until a white family moving into an all-black neighborhood would be paid $5,000, and the same for a black family venturing will merely be poing through the morons in Iceland since he has frequently and publicly, to the outrage of many grand masters, proclaimed the superiority of his own talents. Once asked who he thmiph was the world's greatest player, he replied "it would be nice to be modest but it would be stupid if I did not tell the truth.

It is Fischer" Fischer's supreme self confidence has been a major factor in his ability to consistently defeat, overwhelm, outrage and awe his opponents. He has even shed one. IN IKI. BOBBY walked out of a match with former U.S.champion Samuel Reshevsky, and when judges ruled Fischer had forfeited, he filed suit in New York Supreme Court to bar his opponent from appearing in any other games until the match was completed. The dispute was typical of Fischer's controversial career but not to be unexpected from a man whose whole life is wrapped up in the 64 squares of the chess board.

Fischer was born in Chicago March 9, 1943 and raised in Brooklyn, where his family moved when he was 2. His formal education ended when he dropped out of Erasmus Hall High School in By RICH lltn MSK NEW YORK (ITI) There are l.ww.Wio.OM.ftfl.Oon.Ofti.ftrfV-ono, M.nxi.mn.tttt.MNi.fria.ono. possible moves- in the aerape chess game. Robert James (Bobby) Fischer learned the first dozen or so from his sister in Brooklyn when he was 6 years old. He picked up a few more fiom a stockbroker in the neighborhood and stunned the chess world by becoming the I nited States champion.

AS A CHILD. Bobby would cry when he lost. He doesn't cry anymore possibly because lie never loses. Fischer has won an unprecedented string of victories in the past Uo years and on July 2, in Reykjavic, Iceland, will stare across the board at world champion Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union. Fischer has not been seen in public or heard from since he played in a celebrity tennis tctmament in California more than a month ago.

Rut few doubt that Fischer will compete for the world championship that has obsessed him since he started playing. As an added Incentive, the winner of the Fischer-Spassky match ill take home $125,000 in prize money. BY HIS OWN estimation. Brooklyn in his junior ear. "I couldn't waste my time with all those stunid kids and with teachers "even stupider than the kids," he said.

NOW 2X, a gangling 6-foot. 2 -inches tall. 1K pounds, and good looking with penetrating eyes and a shock of unkempt brown hair, Fischer lives quietly in Los Angeles. Few seem to know what he does or how he lives. He has few friends and virtually no life outside of chess.

With an unsurpassed memory and encyclopaedic knowledge of the game, Fischer is a great positional player and ferocious attacker. But his complaints about flashbulbs, noise, living conditions and spectator movement have been known to drive tournament directors wild. At one tournament, th prince of Monaco asked the American chess foundation to send two grand masters to a match in Monte Carlo under one condition one of the players had to be Fischer. Following the match, two years later there was another request from Monaco out this time the condition was that neither of the two players could be Fischer. IF FISCHER ever were to admit that a chess game for him was a challenge, he wou'd acknowledge that he faces his toughest test in Spassky.

Before Fischer won the right to meet the Soviet champion by defeating Tigran Petrosia.i in Buenos Aires last year, Spassky said "Fischer'a competition results are better than mine but competition is one thing and a chalenger's match another." American experts are confident of a Fischer victory. Rosser Reeves, president of the Manhattan Chess Club, said "Bobby is the strongest plaver who ever walked the Earth." ANDREW SOLTIS of New York, who has player an exhibition with Fischer, said "you know you're going to lose. Even when I was ahead, I had a feeling. His mind is the closest thing to a machine you'll ever see." Fischer, characteristically, shares their opinion. Without any false modesty, he once explained his overriding passion for the game "I'm good at it.

Why should I do something at which I'd be an also-ran?"

Glacial Calm Breaks Russian Champion Has Nerve Outburst rtHJ ATA A A Jl jkV MIEN'S TOUBLH KNIT SLACKS I ft Reg. 9.96 3 Days By STEPHENS BROENING REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Russian Boris Spassky, who has a reputation for glacial calm, had an outburst of nerves yesterday, less than a week before he stakes his world chess title against American Bobby Fletcher. Spassky stormed olf a tenuis court and went to his hotel to sulk alter throe photographers began taking pictures of him with Jive Nei, a compatriot helping him train for the match. "YOU ARE ruining our program," Spassky said. "This is a daily routine which I must get on with." The photographers were not interfering with his game.

They stood outside a fence which circles the asphalt court in a schoolyard. The Russian refused requests from the photographers for two minutes of his time, although they promised they would leave afterwards. After 15 minutes in the hotel, Spassky returned to the court with Nei. a tall bald-headpd man with broad shoulders and a cannonball serve. TO THE delight of a bunch of Icelandic children who shagged halls for the playeri, Nei commenced to thrash Spassky in two straight sets, despite the fact he sometimes appeared purposely to be duffing his snots.

Spassky showed a pretty good forehand, a fair backhand and a weak serve. At times he seemed to lose interest in the game. Because of the great physical strain of the 24-game chess championship beginning Sunday, both Spassky and Fischer have been working out regularly for months. FISCHER. 29, expected to arrive today, Is a good tennis player and swimmer.

He is six' years younger than the champion. Chess players say the loser will be the man who tires first. After more than an hour of tennis Spassky was perspiring freely, as he slipped a brown pullover over his T-shirt. Speaking with a reporter, Spassky seemed to have forgotten the incident with the photographers. "I dropped both sets," he said without real cancor.

Nei offers: "It doesn't matter," he said.
