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.

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."

REYKJAVIK, Iceland The world championship chess match between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky is scheduled to" start Thursday1 afternoon following another postponement, this one demanded by the Soviet champion.

The 29 year-old American grandmaster was resting from the overnight flight in a guarded villa, at the edge of town. The 35-year-old Soviet champion called the American's conduct insulting and intolerable.

Li Cocker WASHINGTON (D Some, nonphosphate detergents on the market can cause irreversible blindness if accidentally rubbed into the eye, according to an unpublished government study. The Food and Drug Administration, charged with protecting the public from hazardous substances, has reacted with disdain to the report by the National Institute of Environmental Health l. "They are outside the realm in which they should be said an official in FDA's Bureau of Product Safety.

"We have the charter, we have the TEE OFFICIAL asked not to be named, because he said it would violate protocol to criticize a "sister agency." The insitute's study, conducted by Dr. David R. Rail, the director, said NIH veterinarians Dr. Donald B. FeloV man and John A.

Moore, concentrated on nine synthetic detergent products purchased near its Triangle, Park, N. facilities. Seven were laundry products, of which three contained phosphates: Tide, Ajax, and Dash; two contained carbon-a Sears and Arm and Hammer; one, has metasihV cate: Ecolo-G; and one was a soap powder: Ivory Snow. Two were dishwashing compounds, one containing metas-ilicate: Electro-Sol, and one with phosphate: Cascade. "The results of this study indicate the rather sharp demarcation between moderate ocular damage caused by soap in phosphate detergents and the intense causticity of carbonates and metaaili-'cates," the institute, concluded, Material was put Into the left eyes ofvNew Zealand white rabbits and reactions were 'recorded at one, two, three, seven and 14 days.

THE RESEARCHERS said all the products tested irritated the eyes and caused an in-flammation, known as con-jurictivitles, and some clouding of the cornea. The soap-powder eyes began clearing by 72 hours and were healthy again at seven days. The laundry-phosphate eyes cleared in all but one of 24 rabbits by 14 days. "The reaction to carbonate and metasilicate detergents was more intense," the report said. Carbonates caused chronic opacities (impervious to light) on 14 of 18 rabbits.

Eleven animals suffered partial or total destruction of the cornea and a deterioration of tissue in the eyelids. "The metasilicate caused chronic opacities in all of the experimental rabbits. One of six rabbits developed necrosis (death of tissue) of the cornea and surrounding tissues," the report said. Test results were similar for dishwashing "Four of six lesions regressed with the phosphate and no corneal perforations were noted at 14 days. In contrast, 11 of 12 corneas were ruptured in those eyes exposed to the metasilicate." The researchers cautioned that 'detergent formulas may change frequently and vary regionally depending on hardness of water.

The FDA disagrees with the institute's testing methods, particularly because the eyes were not washed after exposure.
