4 Saturday, July 1, 1972 Philadelphia Inquirer 25 iPhiladislptiia paper? Play, Chess, 'Or Else FischerTold AMSTERDAM (AP). The president of the World Chess Federation has threatened American champion Bobby Fischer with blacklisting following reports he is holding out for cut of the gate receipts from his World Series with Boris Spassky of Russia. Dr. Max Euwe, the world federation president and veteran Dutch grand master, said Friday that if the 29-year-old American fails to appear Sunday for the start of the world chess championship in Reykjavik, Iceland, he stands to lose his rights to play for the world title "not only mis time but perhaps forever." Fischer was seen Thursday night at New York's Kennedy airport, but Icelandic Airlines said he did not board its flight to Reykjavik. When newsmen tried to question him, his bodyguards fended them off.

Informed sources in Reykjavik said that Fischer informed the Icelandic Chess Federation that he wouldn't play unless he got 30 percent of the gate receipts. This would be in addition to his share of the $125,000 purse and 30 percent of the receipts from the sales of television and film rights already agreed to.

-SEN. HUGH SCOTT By JOHN F. CLANCY Of Th Inquirer Staff President Nixon declared the entire State of Pennsylvania a disaster area Friday as the state and Federal governments opened their treasuries to help victims of floods that wracked the state. The. White House said the President amended his disaster declaration of June 23, which had included only 35 of the state's 67 counties, after completion of preliminary surveys in the entire state.

The move makes flood victims throughout the state eligible for easier Federal loans in which $2,500 of the first $3,000 may be "forgiven." It also provides 100 percent Federal financing of projects to restore public services and rebuild roads and provides unemployment compensation and re-employment assistance to those whose jobs were destroyed. The White House said it was apparent now that sufficient damage had been inflicted to include all counties under the President's declaration. All relief activities under the state were being coordinated by Francis X. Carney, regional director here for the Office of Emergency Preparedness, and a team of disaster specialists. There also were these other developments: THE HOUSE passed and sent to the Senate an emergency $200 million appropriation bill for disaster relief.

The money primarily will be used for temporary housing, road and bridge repairs, debris clearance and repair or replacement of public facilities. THE U. S.
