(AP) Former Treasury Secretary John Connally said yesterday he will not support Democratic presidential nominee George McGovern but rather will work to enlist Democrats in President Nixon's re-election drive. The man who until two months ago was the only Democrat in Nixon's cabinet accused McGovern of sabotaging the President's Vietnam peace efforts and sharply criticized other McGovern positions as "radical in character." As he emerged from, a three-hour meeting with Nixon, Connally again left open the possibility he would accept any offer to be Nixon's vice presidential running mate. "I haven't closed any doors and I don't want to," 'Connally said, adding that "I don't think it will be offered." Talking with newsmen on the lawn at Nixon's ocean-front home, Connally said he would remain a Democrat but would "do everything in my power" in the weeks and months ahead to encourage Democrats to defect to Nixon in the general election. The silver-haired former Texas governor came to the Western White House to brief Nixon on a 35-day, 15-nation arotind-the-world tour he took at Nixon's request after resigning from his cabinet post.

For months the Soviet press has criticized the American challenger as "a money-grubbing businessman," a chess player who carries around with him "a disgusting spirit of gain." "Fischer's nothing more than a capitalist." one bearded player complained. "For him business come before The news media here haven't devoted much attention to the chess match, but the average Russian chess player knows Fischer is down two points and that Spassky hasn't even begun to fight. Confused at first, but willing to accept the American's desire for more money, most of the park players now attribute Fischer's latest demands to fear of defeat at the hands of the world champion. lighting and, at last report, for the removal of film cameras from the match site. It was Fischer's self-confidence, his individuality and his public claim to being the world's best chess player that captured the Russians' imagination.

Perhap bored with the knowledge that the world crown has remained in Russian hands for 24 years, the man on the street was not overly distraught when Fischer crushed Russia's Tigran Petro-sian for the right to face Spassky. The prospect of a major Soviet-American confrontation over the chess board was exciting and appealing. But the admiration has turned to disgust. For the park bench players, Fischer is either "sumashedshy" crazy or scared. MOSCOW (AP) Moscow's park bench chess players used to call him "Bobby." Now it's "Fischer."
