A recent Gallup poll showed 48 percent of the new voters would register as Democrats against only 18 percent for the Republicans. Nationwide, the best recent estimates indicate that Democratic registrations outnumber Republican between two and three to one. With that sort of statistics clutched in hand, you'd think Phil Seib, the man who handles youth matters for Democratic National Chairman Larry O'Brien, would be Ey MIKE LEARY Of The JntuiTer Staff Neither the infusion of women into the electorate in 1920, nor the addition of massive numbers of blacks during the 1960s did much to alter the country's political landscape. But now, America is in the midst rf a third voter upheaval that might just produce a difference. Called the "youth it's had politicians excited, bemused, or plain scared for exactly a year now.

It was on July 1, 1971, that the 26th Amen lment went into effect, enabling 18-year-olds to vote in state and local elections. The amendment coupled with earlier approval of the 18-year-old vote in Federal elections added 11 million new voters to the rolls at the stroke of a pen. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. More than 14 million young people who turned 21 since the 1968 election will cast their first ballot in this year's Presidential election. Together, the two youth blocs add up to 25.1 million new voters about 18 percent of the electorate.

But he's not. The youth vote is a lot more complex than the rosy figures indicate, and as Seib himself admits, "The most characteristic thing about the youth bloc is that it isn't a bloc at all." FOR ONE THING, new voters in extraordinary numbers (about 30 percent) are registering as independents. "That's an amazing figure," says Louis M. Seagull, a political science professor at the University of Pennsylvania, Continued on Page 4, Col. 5 And it's an open secret that President Nixon despite his official indorsement of the broadened franchise isn't really gloating about the prospect of droves of youngsters' voting in November.

The arithmetic is simple: if SO percent of the new voters register, and two-thirds of them cast ballots in the Democratic column, he could lose nine states he won in 1968 and that would cost him the election. Because the nine include such electoral treasure troves as California, New Jersey, Ohio, and Missouri. They May Make the Difference State Can't Meet Payroll Welfare and Flood Aid.

The ultimatum, announced by Dr. Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation, meant a two-day postponement of Fischer's encounter with world champion Boris Spassky of Russia. The match was to have started at 5 P. M. Sunday (1 P.

M. EDT). An Icelandic friend of Fischer arrived in New York Sunday night to try to persuade the temperamental Ted Beat a Retreat After Robert's Murder American chess champion to fly to Reykjavik for the rescheduled match. Freystrinn Thorberbergsson arrived at Kennedy Airport aboard Icelandic Airlines at 7 P. M.

and said he might be in New York, where Fischer is in seclusion, for two or three days. Thorberbergsson, a chess master, said he was acting as "a friend of Bobby Fischer" and would try to convince him to appear for the Tuesday game. Asked if he knew where Fischer was, Thorberbergsson said, "I know where to find him." FISCHER refused to play the match after of the Icelandic chess Federation balked at his last-minute demands for more money; in addition to a record purse already contracted for.

On the Presidential jet east, a newsman remembers how, sitting up with the coffin, Ted Kennedy seemed more angry than bereaved. "I'm going to show them," Kennedy had said repeatedly. "I'm going to show them what they've done, what Bobby meant to this country, what they lost." After the funeral Ted Kennedy was rarely to be detected around Washington throughout the remainder of the summer. By BURTON HERSH While Robert Kennedy lay dying on the Hctel Ambassador's greasy pass-through corridor floor, Ted Kennedy and David Burke, in hopes of a breather, had gotten into their suite at th 2 Hotel Fair-mount in San Francisco after standing in for Bob at the inevitable victory raly for the north California volunteers. Kennedy eased his back into a chair and turned the hotel room television on; there was such confusion on the picture tube that neither of them was sure whether they had the network coverage of Los Angeles or not.

Moments later itwas clear enot gh that they So that Edward Kennedy's response to the death of Bobby at first had been anger, a thick primary emotion that left no space at all for either political calculations or worries about getting killed himself. Day by day as the Cape Cod summer started, sensation began again. Two realities took meaning: life would continue now, but Bobby wouldn't. Enormous hesitations were backpressuring. "It's inaccurate to say he was drunk most of the time," a confidant of the summer commented afterwards.

"It's also inaccurate to say he wasn't drunk at all."
