She has born campaigning for nine months, six of them intensively, and had had about five hours sleep the night before. But she looked completely controlled and calm. She said she was sorry there wasn't time for her to explain the whole scope of her "infant education" program, but summed it up by saying earnestly, "I'm referring to the early years of a child from the moment of his birth. We must make it possible for a child to develop the potential of his own gifts.

And she had an indirect word for women's lib. "I ardently believe that a mother should stay home with her child if she possibly can until he is three years old," she said. "The mother is the best teacher of her child. There is this whole symbiotic relationship between them." She urged women's rights leaders to give great thought to this in promoting day care centers.

They're happy with the impact women have had on the convention, they said. Spokeswoman Gloria Steinem, looking miraculously well-rested after two all-night convention sessions (the caucus staff is reported to be living on B-12 and yogurt), said women have had an effect on the convention partly because they were an unknown element to party leaders.

Women here are not controllable party leaders like they have been in the past, Miss Steinem said. "They are maverick, and that has had a psychological effect on the convention."

"He knows everything upstairs, what Is going on," Balanchine told a convocation of state university arts department teachers in Saratoga Springs yesterday. The outburst of mysticism from Balanchine echoed his comments at the start of the company's Stravinsky festival three weeks ago in New York City.

"I've just been on the phone to Mr. Stravinsky," he said to the opening night audience at that time, "and he told me to do whatever I wanted."

Theater Reopens Drowned out for the first two weeks of its season by the flood, the Corning Summer Thea ter has reopened in me tu. o. riower the chess board, Bobby Fischer walked out for 30 minutes yesterday, then returned to lose the first game of the world chess championship to Boris Spassky, the Russian titleholder.

Fischer, threatened early today to stay away from the second game unless all television cameras were removed from the auditorium, international chess sources said. Fischer, made his demand known at a closed-door meeting with representatives of the International Chess Federation the Icelandic organizers of the $250,000 match and American companies owning the rights to televise the games. Chess sources said Fischer would forfeit the second game if he failed to appear within one hour of the 5 p.m. (1 p.m. EDT) starting time today.

In addition to conceding Spassky a 1-0 lead in the score at the outset of the 24-game match, Fischer developed money trouble. News from London was that James Slater, who sweetened the pot with 50,000 pounds (about $120,000) wouldn't be able to get his money out of England because of currency restrictions. Play yesterday lasted only one hour and three minutes. It was the continuation of a game begun Tuesday and adjourned after 40 moves with Fischer in a position the experts said would give him only a draw at best. Spassky had his king, a bishop that controlled the black diagonals and three pawns.

Fischer was down to his king and five pawns, two of them loose on the king's side. One of Spassky's pawns threatened a Fischer pawn when play concluded Tuesday night. 'In the first move yesterday, Spassky captured the pawn. Fischer recaptured with his king and the game turned into an effort by Fischer to push his pawns a square at a time to the last rank under the escort of his king. After five minutes of play and some indecisive sparring, Fischer stood, spoke animatedly to chief referee Lothar Schmid of West Germany and disappeared with bis long rolling gait through the beige curtains offstage left.

Fischer strode to his backstage dressing room where he told Schmid, who followed him, that he wouldn't continue play unless a movie camera 150 feet from the chess board was ordered shut off. It was barely visible from where Fischer sat. Schmid said he couldn't order the camera removed. Fischer stayed away for 30 minutes while his clock continued to devour time. He returned to continue the struggle, making his 44th move, an ineffectual sidestep with his king.

In ensuing play all the pawns on the king's side were lost. Fischer shifted his king in a hopeless struggle to the other side of the board, where two of his pawns and two of Spassky's blocked each other's passage. Fischer couldn't unblock because Spassky's bishop could protect his position from long range. Finally, after Spassky's 56th move his king approached the jam on the queen's side-Fischer resigned. Robert Byrne, a U.S.

grandmaster and second-ranked player in the United States, said after the game: "It isn't necessarily all that significant. Either of these players can come back and win." Under scoring rules, one point is awarded for a victory and a half point goes to each player for a draw. As defending champion, Spassky needs only 12 points in the 24 games to retain his title. Fischer must score 12V to seize it and put an end to a 24-year Soviet monopoly. Fischer plays while today.

With a one-up leg on the score, Spassky gained an important psychological advantage in the view of experts like former Yugoslav champion Svetozar Gligoric. Experts observed the course of the play was astonishing in retrospect: Spassky made no attempt to hasten exploitation of the slight advantage which the white pieces and first move gave him.

The local Avon district manager called Wencjrzynek in May, after he had been selling alone for a few weeks, and told him to stop. "It wasn't a complaint, actually, because there were no complaints against me," he says. "It's just that it wasn't their policy to have a man go around as an Avon representative.

They don't advertise men." A spokesman for Avon says the company does not have any policy concerning the sex of its representatives and, in fact, is not allowed to by law. "We can't even advertise for representatives on the women's pages," he says. He concedes that "there are a few" male representatives working for Avon, but says the company has no exact count. Wengrzynek says he started selling for Avon for two reasons. First, says the 44 year-old father of six-one in college, om married and four living at home "Every little buck helps." The couple makes about $40 a week, well above the average.

Second, Wengrzynek says, "I enjoy the work and we've made a lot of friends people we see socially." Undaunted, Wengrzynek plans to apply for a position as a sales representative with Avon.

Open the door and there is your Avon representative five feet seven and a half inches, about 142 pounds, brown hair, eyeglasses. Everything seems normal, right down to the brocaded sample bag except that it isn't the Avon Lady, it's the Avon Man.

Would you close the door? Avon thinks you might and that's why the company told Robert Wengrzynek to stop selling its toiletries, cosmetics and perfumes. Wengrzynek is a laboratory technician from East Bruswick, N. who sold Avon products in his spare time from last September to May, when he was told to stop. Actually, his wife Shirley is the Avon representative, one of about 550,000 around the world who last year sold more than $873 million worth of beauty aids, toiletries, room fresherners and fragrances.
