REPUBLIC REKimin; 3ULLD0G 4-A The Arizona Republic Phoenix, July 12, 1972 Night habits altered Curfew saps boisterous life of Saigon avenue where prostitutes once cruised for customers while sitting on their boyfriends' motorcycles, is now populated only by a few policemen and military vehicles. Before the 10 p.m. curfew went into effect, scores of teen-age couples gathered in a large park in front of the presidential palace, where they sat on their Hondas until midnight, engaging in furious handholding and occasional kissing. Now fewer couples come to their park, and their wooing is more hurried. By 9:30 almost all are gone.

Los Angeles Times Sen ice SAIGON-This capital city's night life, with its well-earned reputation for raucousness and lack of restraint, has been dealt a serious blow by a prohibitive curfew in effect for the last Government officials were not chiefly concerned with limiting Saigon's social life when on May 11 they announced new curfew hours 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. instead of the old hours from 1 to 5 a.m. but that is the effect the curfew has had nevertheless. The curfew change was one of the measures adopted after which overlooks Tu Do.

The terrace, which was described two decades ago in Graham Greene's novel, "The Quiet American," has on and off for 25 years been a key spot for meeting and exchanging rumors about Vietnamese affairs of state, but until the last few weeks its business had been sagging. Since the new hours were announced, however, young Vietnamese prostitutes have frequented the terrance each night, for it is one of the few remaining places i Saigon where single men gather early in the evening. If such a thing as a melting pot exists in Saigon, it can be found each evening at the Continental Palace Terrace. A haggard prostitute in a low-cut dress strikes suggestive poses for an American GI sitting next to her. He is in turn being asked for money by a 10-year-old beggar, while across from him two foreign embassy officials are talking over some intrigue.

At another table, three American civilians are observing the unfolding scene and commenting on it. The noise adds to the sense of chaos. The terrace sound system is tuned to the American Forces Radio Network and is blaring rock music, while squadrons of unmuffled motorcycles are buzzing along the street outside. The curfew has also affected Saigon diplomatic functions. Said a spokesman for the American embassy, "The curfew definitely has had an impact.

At a party by about 9-or 9:15 people start looking at' their watches, because their drivers have to be home by 19 o'clock. I've been to a' number of dinners where barely got to taste our coffee, and then we had to leave." Social functions now usually', begin at 6:30 or 7 p.m. in-, stead of 8. While many diplomats express annoyance about the curfew, some welcome it. "Now I don't have to spend all night standing around talking to dullards," said one." "For the first time since I've been here, I'e had a chance to do some reading, get my work done and get eight hours of sleep."

Restaurants, movie theaters, and taxi drivers all have been deprived of profitable nighttime hours. Theater owners have tried to make up the United Press International REYKJAVIK, Iceland World champion Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union capitalized on an error by U.S. grand master Bobby Fischer and gave only President Nguyen Van Thieu's declaration of martial law. It was then explained as a means of preventing Vietcong infiltration and giving Saigon residents a sense of sacrificing for the war effort. Since North Vietnamese troops had scored their biggest victory of the offensive a week earlier by capturing Quang Tri Province 400 miles arguing that a draw playing the black pieces, or defense, would give him a chance in the second game when he plays white and has the initiative from the start.

Now, however, the gloom, if not all the tension, has litted from Saigon. While still concerned, most. Saigon citizens no longer believe that an attack on the city is imminent. Nevertheless, by 10:15 each evening downtown Saigon is still.

By the time the American challenger sat down at the chess board on stage in a auditorium, the deputy arbiter of tie match already had started the game's timing clock and Spassky had made his opening move. Each player is allowed to be up to one hour late for scheduled openings of games in international competition, so Fischer actually had 50 minutes to spare in making his first move. Each player must complete 40 moves within 24 hours after the game begins. By the end of the 30th move.

Fischer had- a pawn advantage in pieces but the challenger had moved his remaining bishop into Spassky's king rook's corner and the Soviet champion trapped it there, rendering it useless. The match, being played for a $250,000 purse as well as the world title, already has been delayed twice from its originally scheduled starting date of July 2. The winner will receive $150,000. the loser $100,000. Both will share in revenue from television rights.

Mrs. Madeleine Leccia, owner of Le Guillaume Tell, one of Saigon's best French restaurants, reports a 40 per cent drop in business since the new curfew began. "We have had the worst business since Tet 1 1913), she said. In addition to the curfew, she blames a new 13 per cent surtax, tension about the offensive, and the ongoing American withdrawal for the decline in business. Some prostitutes have reacted to the new curfew-hours simply by roaming the streets earlier in the evening.

Many now appear at 6 p.m. just as thousands of other Vietnamese are on their way-home. The new curfew regulation has caused a sudden resurgence of life at the terrace of the Continental Palace Hotel.

FOR ONLY TERMS TO SUIT ANY BUYER hope for a draw tonight when the opening game of the world championship chess match was adjourned after 4h hours of play. The adjournment until this afternoon came after 40 moves of the first game of the 24-game match and gave Spassky, 35, who was playing white, a slight advantage with a bishop and three pawns. Fischer, 2'J, had live pawns on the board. Fischer appeared calm when he arrived eight minutes after the start of the $250,000 match and was welcomed by the capacity crowd of 3.000 with a 30-second ovation. But as the game progressed, Fischer appeared angry with himself.

When the game was adjourned with one-half hour of playing time remaining, Fischer's second, father William Lombard', said, "Bobby is fighting for a draw." But Robert Byrne, another U.S. grand master, said "Fischer is in trouble and he might lose." Fischer apparently errored on the 29th move when he took Spassky's king rook pawn and got his bishop trapped in the process. The Russian lost another pawn before taking Fischer's bishop off the board. Some experts described the move as an attempt by the American to inject some life into a rather dull game. But the general opinion seemed to be that Fischer went into a simple trap.

Fischer also appeared to be playing for a draw from the start quite unlike his normal aggressive tactics possibly tage through even the 20th move. The game began precisely on time, but Fischer did not appear for several suspense-filled minutes. Fischer shook Spassky's hand, quickly sat down and took two minutes to respond to the champion's opening queen gambit by choosing the Nimzo-Indian defense. The American broke Spassky's mobilization of hea'y pieces in the 14th move but later in the game errored by sacrificing his last bishop against two pawns. His father said the American meant no slight to Spassky by arriving late.

"The traffic was just a bit more heavy then we had expected and we arrived at the hall only a few minutes before match time," Lombardy said. Early in the game, Fischer went over to the arbiter a couple of times and appeared to be objecting to a huge sign in blue, white and red showing the International Chess Federation emblem and the name of the Icelandic Chess Federation. The sign decorated the stage where the two players sat alone with the arbiter and his deputy. Fischer only left the table twice to drink some orange juice. He first complained it was not cold enough but was satisfied when ice cubes were produced.

Spassky spent much of his waiting time walking about the stage and disappearing to the restrooms behind.
