McGovern today to succeed Lawrence O'Brien as new chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Pierre Salinger, White House press secretary for President John F. Kennedy, was tapped as co-chairman. Both Mrs. Westwood and Salinger were extremely active in McGovern's successful cam- paign to win the Democratic presidential nomination.

McGovern also picked Don Petrie, an Avis Corp. executive, to be the Democratic party's treasurer, succeeding Robert Strauss who wound up his duties today. Mrs. Westwood will be the first woman to assume the top leadership post in the history of the party. She has been co- chairman of the McGovern campaign committee.

Townsend, commanding officer of the car- rier Kitty Hawk, said the first six Fat Alberts released scored direct hits against their targets and reduced the risk that American pilots would be hit by ground fire. Townsend said four bridges were downed and two military supply buildings were de- stroyed by the bombs.

You can't beat 100 per cent," he said. The Fat Albert, named by Eliers aboard the Kitty Hawk, is twice as powerful as the Wall- eye and has a television cam- era in the nose to direct the bomb to the target.

Elliott Chess Game Forfeited Fischer's Protest Is Rejected REYKJAVIK, An appeals Iceland (AP) committee re jected today Bobby Fischer's protest against his loss of Thursday's world championship chess game by forfeit.

The four-man committee sup- ported the decision of chief ref- eree Lolhar Schmid to award the game to Boris Spassky be- cause Fischer failed to appear. The decision left Fischer two games down in a 24-game where Fischer needs the equivalent of .12 victories and a draw to take Spassky's title. Fischer stayed in his hotel room Thursday and refused to play unless three cameras film- ing the match for movie and television sales were removed from the hall. Since the Ameri- can challenger lost the first game on Wednesday, referee Lothar Schmid's forfeit ruling gave Spassky a 2-0 lead. Schmid said the third game of the 24-gamc match would be held on schedule Sunday, but the future of the match was very much in doubt.

Schmid xaicl il depends on whether Fischer continues his boycott. He added that the World Chess Federation FIDE could step in at any time and disqualify him. But Dr. Max Euwe, president of the organization, said Schmid was still in charge of the match and must decide how to handle the American. A spokesman for promoter Chester Fox, who bought the movie and TV rights for the match from the Icelandic Chess Federation, said the cameras had to stay because "the whole, financial structure of the match depends on it." It was the pros- pect of movie and TV sales that allowed the Icelanders to offer a record $125,000 purse to the two players, and Fischer and Spassky are also to divide a share of movie-TV money estimated at a i i of $55,000.
