Fischer said that he had been hiding out at the home of a chess colleague, Anthony Saidy, in Douglaston, Queens, a wealthy residential area of New York City. Reporters suspecting Fischer was inside, had stood outside the sprawling Saidy house for two days despite repeated assertions by Saidy that Fischer was not inside. Saidy emerged early Tuesday night to announce that Fischer would see a newsman. Saidy selected a representative from the New York Times. Inside the of the house, Fischer appeared and demanded, "Where is the TV? I want the TV.

I want television newsmen." The television crews of ABC and NBC waiting disconsolately outside were hurriedly summoned. Seated on the sofa while the television men set up their machines, Fischer suddenly jumped. "What time is it?" he asked, seeming unconcerned at the answer.

Fischer, temperamental, 29-year-old U. S.

chess champ, today publicly apologized to Spassky for delaying the start of the match. Fischer said he has "the greatest respect" for the Russian champ. After holding out for more money and getting it, the American challenger came to Iceland for the postponed opening match Tuesday. But Spassky walked out of the noon drawing to decide who would move first because Fischer was not present. He had sent his second, a Roman Catholic priest.

Officials announced a new 48-hour postponement of the opener, originally scheduled for last Sunday. The Icelandic Chess Federation had rejected Fischer's demand for 30 pet. of the gate receipts, but he agreed to come after a London investment banker doubled the $125,000 purse which he and Spassky will divide. The 35-year-old Soviet champion called the American's conduct insulting and intolerable. He said Fischer, by refusing to appear at the opening ceremony last weekend, had insulted Spassky personally and the Soviet Chess Federation and Jiad jeopardized his right to play for the title.

Funds produced via the telethon would be used in this order: First, to pay for the TV show (about $2 million), then to pay off the party's $9.3 million debt from the '68 presidential campaign. Any additional money would be available for this year's campaign. Mott claimed telethon literature is misleading. He said the theme of it is "help put a Democrat in the White House." He said this implies donations would be used for the 1972 campaign. He said it would be a "fraud" against people who respond to the TV appeal unless it's made clear some of the money will go to pay off 1968 debts.

Smith and his daughter were visible just inside the plane.

Scores of airline passengers passed through the terminal as usual. Many seemed unaware of what was happening at the American gate. From the upper level of the airport terminal, newsmen could see Smith holding the girl in his arms. At times they could be seen sitting in a front seat. Now and then he would carry the girl to the rear and then return to the front.

Earlier, he had shouted he did not want to see newsmen, cameras or tape recorders.

Police said Smith left a note at his mother's home that read 'I love you. I love myself. I love everybody. I love. God, but if I have to do away with myself.

The documents, released after 30 years by the Foreign Office, said a "considerable body of circumstantial evidence backed up Nazi claims that Germany had nothing to do with the killings." They disclosed Britain kept its suspicions of Russian guilt uiet for the sake of allied Snity during the war. The German government announced the discovery of jViass graves at Katyn in April 1943.

The Soviet government repeatedly denied guilt 'and accused the Germans of murdering the prisoners dur- ing their 1941 assault on Rus-aia.
