An airport rrowd applauded occasionally as Vaughn told newsmen about the hijacking which brought the threatening note, apparently written in blood, to his home. doesn't work," he said. "You would sw hijacking disappear overnight if there was a mandatory death penalty for hijackers with no loopholes in it." Vaughn proposed that "every pilot in the United States walk off the job and refuse to come back until Congress enacts the death penalty for hijackers." The Pan American pilot said he felt ci-ew members should be armed, but declined to recommend that all pilots handle hijack attempts as he did.

Iceland (AP) Pobby Fischer apolnRurd Wednesday for delaying the start of the world championship chess match, but the demanded apologies in writ tog. With the confrontation thre Renins never to reach the checkered board, President Max Euwe of the International Chess Federation FIDE took some of the blame and suggested a further postponement until next week for the dust to settle. Euwe said he had allowed Fischer's tardy arrival he got here Tuesday because "Fischer is quite another person. He's living In another world." F.uwe said he realized titleholder Boris Spassky was "very upset'' and would like to give him a week lief ore the first game. Fischer's holdout for more money brought the takings for both winner and loser to the highest amount ever in world championship chess.

The winner will get and the loser The 24-game series between Spassky of the Soviet Union and the 29-year-old American challenger was to have begun last Sunday. It was put off for two days because of Fischer's hold-out. then delayed until today by Soviet objections to the American's conduct. Euwe admitted Wednesday he had violated the rules in allowing delays in the stalling date, and promised strict rule enforcement from now on. He then suggested the further postponement and said the match may even have to be split into parts to avoid conflict with the world chess Olympiad set to begin in September in Skopje, Yugoslavia.

The first apology of the day was made in Fischer's name on the demand of Spassky, who said the American's conduct had "insulted me personally and the country I represent." Fischer said he was sorry he'd caused any trouble for Spassky, whom he respected as a man and admired as a chess player. This is the sale semi-annual clearance smart shoppers have been waiting for.

Fulfilment of the Russian demand that Fischer forfeit the first game would give Spassky a 1-ft score advantage at the outset. The 24 games are scored one point for a win, a split point for a draw and nothing for a loss. Spassky needs 12 points to retain his title, Fischer 12.5 to defeat him.

Chess experts said that in such a long mutch a lost point was a disadvantage Fischer probably could overcome at the Italian marble chess board on the stage of Reykjavik's 2.5(H)-scat Sports Palace. From the frequent trips by Spassky and Geller to the gray three-story Soviet Embassy here, it was apparent the Soviet pre-match game was being played on directives from Moscow. IMMII SI S.

Slater, a London banker, offered $130,000 in additional prize money that the American decided to fly to Reykjavik Tuesday.

By then, however, Spassky insisted that the challenger be penalized for failure to start the match on time. Some chess fans here have suggested that the present impasse should be resolved by giving Spassky the first game by default on the ground that Fischer had not shown up as provided by the rules. The American's apparent emphasis on prize money has been difficult for Russians to understand.
