The organizers said it had been agreed in principle to hold the drawing tonight to determine which player would have the white pieces and with them the first move.

The young American, in a letter delivered by hand this morning to the world chess champion from the Soviet Union, apologized for his "disrespectful behavior." Fischer, whose delayed arrival doubled the prize money for both him and Spassky but also started an avalanche of confusion, asked the Russian to "accept my sincerest apology." "I simply became carried away by my petty dispute over money with the Icelandic chess organizers," he wrote. The written apology from the American challenger was one of the chief conditions posed by the Russians before Spassky would sit down at the chess board with Fischer. Fischer told Spassky: "I have offended you and your country, the Soviet Union, where chess has a prestigious position." The temperamental American also apologized to Dr. Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation, the Icelanders, "the thousands of fans around the world and especially to the millions of fans and the many friends I have in the United States." However, Fischer brushed aside a demand from the Soviet Chess Federation a he forfeit the first match because of his tardy arrival. He said this "would place me at a tremendous handicap" ant 1 he didn't believe the "world's champion desires such an advantage in order to play me." "I know you to be a sportsman and a gentleman, and I am looking forward to some exciting chess games with you," Fischer concluded.

Earlier Euwe had met other demands the Russians made on him and suggested that the start of the match be delayed further. Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation, said he didn't penalize Fischer for his late arrival in Iceland because the American challenger it "living in mother world." He said Spaulcy, the Russian world titlt holder, was "very upset" and that he would like to give him another week before the first game. Euwe also admitted he had violated the rules in allowing two previous postponements in the start of the match. He promised strict rule enforcement in the future. The 24-game series between Fischer and Spassky had been scheduled to start Sunday.

Fischer stayed in New York, holding out for more money, and Euwe postponed the start of the match until Tuesday. Fischer arrived that day, but (he Russians objected to his conduct and Euwe put (he start off until today. Fischer apologized Wednesday for delaying the start of (he match, but the Russians demanded apologies in writing. Then they demanded that Fischer forfeit the first game. The American's apology, a by a spokesman at a news conference, said: "We are sorry the world championship was delayed.

The problems causing the delays were not with world champion Spassky whom I respect as a man and admire as a player." Later Ycfim Geller, the Soviet grandmaster acting as Spassky's second, told another news conference the Russians wanted Euwe to condemn the American's conduct and accept blame himself for violating the federation's rules. Euwe came forward and condemned Fischer, conceded he himself had broken the rules and added: "I apologize." Asked if the Russians were satisfied, Geller said they wanted it all in writing. Euwe took a pen from his pocket and said, "I can write it now," and began drafting a letter. Geller then said the Soviet Chess Federation had told Euwe he should award the first game to Spassky by forfeit, but Euwe said he did not consider the request official. Then Euwe put forward his idea of another postponement.

Begich campaigns on actions by Nixon A A (AP)-Rep. Nick Begich, criticising the Nixon Administration on a variety at issues ranging from the Vietnam war to the postal service, brought his reelection campaign to Anchorage Wednesday. The Democratic lawmaker, unopposed in his party's primary election for Alaska's lone seal in the U.S. House, gave a preview of the campaign speeches he'll be delivering throughout the state until Congress convenes July 17 in an address to the Anchorage Press Club. Although he dodged reporters' persistent questions about who is his favorite Democratic presidential hopeful, Begich said "any one of several Democratic combinations" can defeat President Nixon, who he predicted will be hurt most by Anchorage mayor's pen powerjrful ANCHORAGE (AP) Never underestimate the power of a mayor's proclamation.

Until Monday, spring and early summer in the Anchorage area had consisted largely of cool temperatures, overcast skies and a healthy share of rain showers. On Monday, Mayor George Sullivan urged Anchorage residents to "think sunshine" and issued a proclamation declaring June 30 to Sept. 30 to be "Sunshine Months" in Alaska's largest city. On the Fourth of July, the temperature peaked at 71 degrees in the Anchorage area, bringing with it sunshine that attracted 4,000 swimmers to Goose Lake, followed a thousand residents on a charter train to a holiday celebration at Seward and sent thousands on other holiday pursuits. "It looks like our prayers must have been answered," Sullivan said Wednesday.

The same good fortune that shone on Anchorage also brought unofficial temperatures soaring into the 90s in the Fairbanks area, and sent the mercury to an 85-degree reading in Juneau. Now, Anchorage residents will have their fingers crossed for the remainder of the sunshine months. issues of the economy and continued U.S. presence in Southeast Asian fighting. Begich declared that "the economic program undertaken by the administration was intended not only to resolve the economic crisis in this country, but to do so on a time schedule which coincided with the elections." "Quite frankly," he added, "there now appears very little reason to believe that either goal will be fulfilled." Begich accused the President of delaying release of more than $12 billion in funds authorized and appropriated by Congress to provide what he described as an artificial boost to the economy just before the fall elections.

Nonetheless, he said, the wholesale price index rose faster in the past six months--under federal control-than it did in the six previous months while unemployment has remained at about 6 per cent for 18 straight months, despite the controls. On the war issue, Begich contended Nixon's highly touted troop withdrawals "are both deceptive and only a prelude to alternative forms of involvement at unprecedented levels." As an example of what he termed Nixon's "credibility" problem, Begich cited Defense Department figures he said indicate the troop level in South Vietnam had declined from 93,000 men at the end of March to some 54,000 as of June 22. But at the same time, he said, the numbers of U.S. mili- 1 a personnel throughout Southeast Asia has dropped by only 2,000 overall, down to 141, 000, as new military men are assigned to Thailand and to the offshore U.S. fleet.

Britain ncars entry into Common Market LONDON (AP) The bill taking Britain into the European Common Market has cleared its last major hurdle, and apparently the nation will join the European Economic Community on Jan. 1. The legislation now will get a routine third reading in the House of Commons and then go to the House of Lords for a vote. Approval is certain in the upper house. The House of Commons approved the bill late Wednesday night.

Warnings mark Irish unrest BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) Militant Protestants lo- day were demanding another concession from the British government in exchange for two weeks of cooperation in the cease-fire in Northern Ireland. The paramilitary Ulster Defense Association said il would barricade another Protestant section this weekend but after that would "grant 14 days of peace and grace" to allow British forces "to deal with the deteriorating position." Skjarstad rites slated for Friday Graveside services for Nick J. Skjarslad, 62, who died Tuesday in the Fairbanks Memorial Hospital will be held at 10 a.m. Friday at Birch Hill Cemetery.

Skjardstad was bom Oct. 26, 1909, in Hrway and has been a resident of this city for many years. He had no known relatives here. Britain's administrator for Ireland, William Whitelaw, had warned that no more such no-go areas be tolerated. The UDA in effect was telling him he had to back down or face the possibility of an armed challenge to the army.

The UDA, which claims it can bring thousands of armed fighters into the streets, also said that during their two-week "peace and grace" period, their men would be "standing in full strength to protect any area" during the processions July 12 of the Protestant Orange Order. This was a warning to both the British and the Roman Catholics not to interfere with 'Continued progress 9 marks Northwest pilots' negotiations MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (AP) "Continued progress" marked the third straight day of bargaining between striking pilots and Northwest Airlines, a a i a Mediation Board Environmental Advisory board meet in Juneau A (AP)-The stale's Environmental Advisory Board was scheduled to convene in Juneau today to mull over a i a i a environmental topics and review Department of Environmental Conservation programs.

But mediator Harry Bickford refused to predict when a settlement might come in the seven-day-old walkout of 1,619 Northwest pilots. Bickford said he met separately with Northwest officials and representatives of the Air Line Pilots Association (ALFA) prior to a five-hour joint bargaining session Wednesday. Bickford then met with ALPA represenattives until nearly 1 a.m.

Negotiators were said to be concentrating on the fringe benefits that re the main stumbling blocks to a settlement. These include pensions, crew work days, rest periods, insurance and flighl passes.

Pilots have said they are generally satisfied with the company's offer for a 26.7 per cent increase in pay and fringe benefits over three years. The previous agreement expired July 1, 1971, The new contract would be retroactive. The two sides met for 13 hours Monday, in their first meeling since Ihe pilots walked out early last Friday. The strike began after 15 months of contract negotiations, and a 30-day cooling off period imposed under the Railway Labor Act. Northwest, based in Minneapolis, has been flying two round-trip flights daily to Chicago, with supervisory pilots.

Sun energy for power WASHINGTON (AP) The National Aeronautics and Space Administration launched today a survey of the feasibility of using large satellites to convert the sun's energy into a boundless supply of electric power for relay to the earth. NASA awarded a $197,400 six- month study contract to A. IX Little, Cambridge, and three associated industry teams to explore technical problems of a satellite solar power station. The concept hinges on Ihe use of large spacecraft in synchronous orbit more than 22,000 miles above the earth, where they would remain stationary over an assigned geographic area. Each satellite station would convert solar energy to electric power and then transmit it by microwave beam to its particular receiving stations.

Both Protestant and a i inarches have frequently touched off communal fighting in the past three years of violence.

The UDA last weekend barricaded five Protestant areas to protest Whitelaw's refusal to interfere with Catholic-only enclaves policed by gunmen of the Irish Republican Army. Later the UDA let the army take over the barricades in one sector maintained unarmed patrols behind them. While the IRA generally continued to observe the cease-fire that the guerrilla command declared last week, a wave of sectarian attacks continued. Wednesday night a man was shot in the thighs in a Catholic district of Belfast and another was shot in the shoulder in another Catholic section. A volley also was fired at an army patrol, but nobody was hit, and the troops didn't return the fire.

Eight men were murdered over the weekend two Protestants, five Catholics and a young Jehovah's Witness visiting from England, Two more Protestant brothers, 19 and 20 years old, were slain Wednesday, and their bodies were left in a country lane. There were reports that llu; youths had Catholic friends and one of them had a Catholic girl friend. Fairbanks fireworks vendor defends borough regulation i are no more dangerous than any other holiday recreational activity and can even be beneficial according to a man who has been operating eight stands during the two-week sales period permitted by the borough assembly. "There are more deaths and injuries on New Year's Eve, a or any other holiday," says Don Anderson, of Box 2806, Fairbanks. Anderson requested a chance to defend fireworks, Monday, after what he termed a lot of negative reports about, the subject in the news media.

Fireworks are beneficial, he said, because it "gives the kids a chance to get il out of their system." Anderson added that a psychiatrist in Bozeman, had told him that a recent study showed there were less cases of arson and other mischief in states that permitted fireworks. Anderson said he thought it unfair thatnewsstorieswere only giving one side of the story. The amount of accidents and injuries were exaggerated he contended. "If you put any activity under a i i hunting, drinking, smoking, and so forth--as has been done with fireworks, you would find these i a explained. Smoking, he pointed out, is much more dangerous than fireworks.

"It kills people, is expensive and caused the Nordale fire. But does this mean smoking should be prohibited?" he asked. Anderson, who by Monday estimated that his outlets had sold over 5,000 pounds of fireworks, praised the borough's decision to ban Class fireworks, which include cherry bombs, 80's and heavier type explosives. Six cherry bombs equal a quarterstick of dynamite, he explained. "These are the kind that blow hands off and cause the injuries." The type of fireworks approved by the borough, Class include small firecrackers up to one and one half inches, small rockets, smoke bombs and sparklers.

Class fireworks are not dangerous, Anderson said, as long as the kids are shown the proper way to shoot them. "Even when accidents happen, they are not that bad" he explained. "My son had one go off in his hand and only suffered minor skin burns. This isn't any more disastrous than going fishing and getting cut with a knife." The reason that city police were bothered with making so many investigations in the city for illegal possession and shooting of fireworks, Anderson said, is because it wasn't publicized enough that firecrackers were illegal in the city. A a that he favored an age-limit for the a of fireworks.

He recommended the age of 16. He also said the M-day sales period before the Fourth of July i a was sufficient "for to enjoy shooting firecrackers and getting it off their system."
