President Nixon invited the world in a holiday broadcast yesterday to come to America during its bicentennial era and "share our dreams of a brighter future." In the nationwide radio address from the Western White House, Nixon spoke of plans for the nation's 20flth birthday celebration in 1976 and said Americans should use the occasion to "prove once again that the spirit of '76 is a spirit of openness, of brotherhood and of peace." The President specifically suggested that business and industry attempt to cut the costs of travel, lodging and meals, and that air carriers and shipping lines explore ways of offering inexpensive transportation. "Let us be known throughout the world as the 'Land of the Open the chief executive sail.

He voiced hopes that "millions upon millions of visitors" from around the world would respond to his invitation to come to the United States during the bicentennial era. Nixon said one "compelling reason for this invitation to the world to our hopes for genuine and lasting peace among nations."

The Russian titleholder launched his counterattack yesterday with a stern protest, some sharp criticism, a walkout and a demand for a two- day postponement of the start of the match with American Bobby Fischer. Fischer slept through it all.

He had arrived in the morning from New York and went straight to bed to rest up for the first game, set for 5 p.m. When Fischer woke up he found that the title series was put off until tomorrow at the earliest. It was to have begun last Sunday. Summing up the day. Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation, said: "When Spassky is here ischer doesn't come.

As soon as Fischer comes, Spassky runs away." The Russians turned up in force at noon for what was to be a drawing to decide who would play white, and have the first move, in the opener. They refused to draw with Fis cher's second, a Roman Catholic priest, the Rev. William Lombar-dy, and read a statement calling Fischer's delaying holdout intoler able. They protested Euwe's decision to tolerate it. When Fischer failed to appear as he should have, Euwe allowed him until noon yesterday to show up in Reykjavik or forfeit his shot at Spassky.

Fischer's refusal to come by Sun day was bassed on a dispute with the organizers over money. The argument was settled Mon- dav when British financier James Slater offered to sweeten an already record pot with a donation of 50.000 British pounds about $130,000. Fischer said he would play. The Russians said yesterday that Fischer had violated the rules of the match. They wanted an apol ogy.

Euwe reported they had some harsh words fur him as well. "I'm a bad boy," the 71-year-old Dutchman said with a smile. Spassky read his statement from what looked like an official docu ment in Russian. It created the impression that he was acting on Mos cow's orders. A dispatch by Tass.

the official Soviet news agency, said Spassky had demanded that the International Chess Federation known as FIDE take some punishing measures against Fischer on the grounds that he had violated the rules for the match. It did not specify what sort of measures should be taken. Asked about the Tass report. F.uwe said no formal request for punishing measures had been received. Besides, he said.
